DAVE BALL is my favorite for
Governor. He is a clean man, a
straight Democrat, and a true
friend. He does not use men
when he can profit by them, and
then abandon them in their hour
of adversely. He does not en-
deavor to build himself up by
tearing others down. He has
never held an Office tainted with
questionable possession, nor gone
down into the mire of corrupt pol
itics and used the vantage thus
gained to farther advance himself
by the destruction of others. He
is of the earth and fit for the earth
does not assume the robe of Right
eousness in awesome judgment;
is not "better than his party
and therefore does not thank God
that he is unlike the rlff and rail-
of "the old machine" which gave
Missouri good, clean, honest, Dem
ocratic government for thirty
years. Being such a man he has
faith in his fellow-men, that they
may differ from him and yet be
neither ''thugs nor grafters.'
Being such a man and free from
factional ENHANCEMENT, he is low
ed by Democrats all over the
State. Therefore, l predict his
nomination and triumphant cleo
ton.

JUDGE EVANS, in his Joplin
speech, made an insinuating ref
erance to the sold machine
meaning those Democrats who
had wrested the State from the
Republican rule, and who, and
their successors, for thirty years
and more, gave to the people of
Missouri an administration uneX-
celled in all tho United States.
There isn't a one of the "machine"
Democrats who ever accepted an
Office to which he wasn't fairly
elected or chosen. Can Judge
Evans say as much?

BENNY says that Judge Schmidt
wanted the Ozark Banner to have
some of the county printing. Yet
County Clerk Reyburn tells us
that several months ago when an
order of the court was printed in
the Banner Schmidt howled loud
and long and mournfully. He de-
clared that the Banner had no cir
culation, nc one would see the or
der and that people in his part of
the county did not know that there
was such a paper as the Banner in
existence, or words to that effect.
So Benny has lied or Schmidt has
changed his mind to suit the occa-
sion-something that is no trouble
for either of them to do.

No Drought in Charlotte.

Since the 9Th day Of July, 1907,
1875 prescriptions have been filled
by the Charlotte drugstores. Put
ting the average charge of the doc
tors for writing the prescription at
40 cents each, this will show that
the abolition of the bar rooms has
added to their income during a pc.
Rod of less than six months just
1888 80, or a yearly average of
81 5,O37 60. Placing the amount pur-
chased on each prescription at 80
cents this will show that the drug
stores have done a whiskey bust
ness. in the same length of time
of $15,O37, or an annual trade
of $30,075 20. Combining these
amounts paid to the drugstores, it
will show that $45, 112.sO is spent
annually for whiskey in the drug
stores alone.
These figures will show that it
pays to keep a drugstore and be q
doctor in Charlotte-NeWs.
The above is only sample of the
stuff we use. The whiskey received
here by orders from other States and
what was brought here from Sails
bury by legal purchase, and what
was handled by blind tigers would
amount to three gallons for every
one the doctors ''scripted."-Char-

The following is from Tuesdays
issue of the Raleigh Times tdemo
cratic):
"Were Elijah living in North
Carolina today he might tell us
what the legislature is going to do
with the liquor problem, and were
Solomon here he might be able to
tell US what effect, if any, the leg
islature's action would have on the
democratic party ?"
The last two lines in the above
editorial from the Times tells the
whole story. The democrats are
not worrying over what is best for
the railroads or what is best for the
people, but they are considering
what is best for the democratic
party. If the democratic caucus,
after the legislature meets, decides
that it will make the party popular
to pass q law for State prohibition,
the law will be passed, If they
think such law would hurt them
at this time, the law will not be
passed. The question of prohibi
ton is not moral issue with them
but simply a question of party
policy. The same will be true with
| other questions that may arise,

at IL now almost certain that
there will be special session Of the
North Carolina legislature, . session
which will be called for the purpose
of undoing what the dictator-led
legislature of 1906-'07 accom-
plished.', The soul of the tax payer
must be filed with Joy as he con-
templates the gathering of rural dig
nitaries, who know as much about
the operations Of big corporations at
"a cost of 81 and IS each daily.
If, as intimated in these columns
yesterday, all the railroads doing
business in this State agree to the
compromise as laid down by Gov.
Glenn and his advisers, 1t will be
necessary to call the legislature to-
gether to ratify the agreement, and
to practically acknowledge that 1t
didn't know what 1t was doing
when it passed two and quarter
cent rate law, law which has upset
and paralyzed the commerce Of the
State, and put quiet upon railroad
development. Mark we'll that the
one and special purpose of the extra
session is to undo tho rate law. That
can be done in one day, st cost
of ten thousand dollars for the call
ing together of the Solons, 80 that
the Governor Of North Carolina can
have no excuse for putting the State
to the expense of thousands Of dol.
lars for any longer period than the
time mentioned.
We doubt not that there are many
sections Of the State where represen'
tatives and senators regard them
selves as doing we'll if they take in
five and ten dollars a week, 80 that
we need not be surprised if the pros
pect of an outing at the State CAPT.
tai at 81 and S. day should prove
aliuring and prompt the law.mskert
to desire long and "arduous" ses
sion.
If there must be special session
let it be brief; it is the duty Of
the Governor to see that it is such
He owes this much to the people Of
the State who have been "done" vi
TO their eyebrows. The present state
of affairs is the penalty we pay fol
allowing dictatorial journalist t.
howl for something and get it as ,
reward for putting our pictures ir
the paper.'"

That mysterious report of the At
iantic and North Carolina Railroad,
under Democratic rule, is still miss
ing from the files of the Governors
Office. We invited the Daily Indus
trial News to join us and other pa
pers in offering to advertise for the
report free of charge if the Governor
saw fit to accept the offer. Up to
this time the Industrial News has
not Joined in the offer, and we don't
think that paper or the News and
Observer have ever mentioned the
fact that the report was lost. And
why not? It was news, red hot
news, and why not print the news ?
We did not expect the News and
Observer to join US in this free offer,
but we did think the Industrial
News would have been glad to offer
its services.

The people of North Carolina as
a whole are more interested in
freight rates than in passenger rates.
The passenger rates affect possibly
one-twentieth of the States popula.
ton while the freight rates affect
every inhabitant. There should be
a distributing point in this State.
There can be no reason why freight
can be hauled through this State to
some point in Virginia and then
back to North Carolina as cheap as
if the freight was stopped in this
State. There is no reason why Vir-
ginia towns should have this adj
vantage over our State.

CreenvilIe Aroused Over Freight Rates.
Eastern Reflector.
The business men of Greenville
are sitting up and taking notice of
the way they are being imposed
upon in the matter of freight rates
by the Atlantic Coast Line and Nor
folk and Southern Railroads.
Freights were considered high
enough when we had only one rail-
road to this town, and instead of the
coming Of the second road giving
lower rates through competition, as
was hoped for, rates are very much
higher than formerly. For time
the rates of the Norfolk & Southern
Road were lower than the Atlantic
Coast Line, and in consequence the
bulk of the business went to the
Norfolk and Southern. Suddenly
there came the announcement of a
general advance in rates on both
roads, the rates being the same on
each. The reason given by the Nor.
folk and Southern for making its
rates the same as the Atlantic Coast
Line was that the State Corporation
Commission compelled it to adopt
the same rate as the competing road
This seemed strange procedure tc
our business men, and they are going
make an investigation of the matter.
It has also developed that these
same railroads are giving the town
of Washington freight rate only
two.fifths as high as the rate tc
Greenville, and our business men
have determined not to submit to
such discrimination At the meet.

Monday night this matter was fully
discussed, and committees were ap-
pointed to investigate the matter

The Charlotte Observer says:

"The rumor that the Federal gov
eminent will inquire into the affairs
of the unfortunate Seaboard, is in
teresting. The public wishes to
know many things that are now
hidden. It might be brought to
light in such an investigation what
part recent legislation has really
played in the roads undoing. And,
incidentally, we might get look al
the books"
A look at the books might reveal
some facts that the Raleigh News
and Observer would prefer to stay
under cover. The News and OBJ
server has never asked for look al
the books in the case of the Sea-
hoard. There is a reason.
