An Elkin correspondent to the
Charlotte Observer said: over
100000 will be paid out from
Elkin this season for blackber-
ries. The Elkin Canning Compa'
MES have already sent out from
here over 100000 cans and the
crop is notyet half gathered.
The street in front OF the ware
houses of these concerns are
blocked daily with wagons which
bring in filed cans and carry out
empties. 1t is safely estimated
that the berry crop OF this Sec
tion will bring more money than
the tobacco crop and when we
take into consideration that the
berries grow wild and cost moth
ing but the picking and there are
enormous profits to a farmer on
a crop that a few years ago was

THE RISE OF A BOY.

This boy goes to his business,
and at businesses begins by simp-
ly doing the things he is told to
dc, and doing them in acommon
aud ordinary way. If he stops
here, he remains a life long drudg.
But if he begins to see that busi-
ness significance, that his life is
not merely in sweeying the store,
not merely writing letters, n t
merely selling goods; if he begins
to see that business is a greater
instrument of beneficence, that
trade is clothing thousands o'
men where charity clothes ten,
that agricultural and milling in
dustries are feeding thousands OF
men where charity feeds ten; fhe
begins to see how the whole his
tory OF the world is linked to-
gether, and is Gods way OF bull
ding up humanity and serving
humanlty-as he gets this larger

the Republican party lies in the
maintainance of thp Roosevelt
policies. Moreover, he is bold to
proclaim that the work OF the
next administration will consist
in clinching the progress made
by Roosevelt in carrying out his
policies and in pushing to CON-
pletion and putting into opera
tion the machinery planned by
Roosevelt.
The deliverance is significant,
then, in that it lays down to a
Tree people who for 13O years
have elected officers to serve
them, the proposition of self per-
pitulty in office. 1t marks the be.
ginning of what the Republican
party, under the power of Roose'
velt, held by Federal patronage,
would make a new epoch in A.
merican history-an epoch in
which the president oppoints his
successor on condition Of prom
ise to obey his will, so that he
himself may still exercise the ex
ecutiye powers OF the govern
ment without the burdens and rt
sponsibilities incident thereto
and without the embarrassment
OF beng held ameanable to the
people for his conduct.
Will you support such a pro
position? Can you vote for a
man for a great Office who is
merely the hollow echo OF anoth
er's views?

No Hope Except in Democracy.

What the Republicans mean by
"tariff revision" is already be-
ginning to transpire. Chairman
Payne, Of the Ways and Means
Committee, will not, it is under
stood, call together his commit
tee until after the election.
But the general outline OF the
scheme Of REVISION which this
committee was directed to pre-
pare and submit on the re-as-
sembling OF Congress next win
ter has became known in spite OF
the efforts OF secrecy.
According to the Journal OF
Commerce, it consists oi little
more than a general smoothing
off and rounding out Of the pres
ent schedules.
No serious or radical reduc-
ton is contemplated OF even
dreamed of and if the Republi-
cans should win, it is idle to ex-
pect any more than apretence OF
revision. if, indeed, the sum to-
tai of their pretended revision
does not add up more "protec-
ton" Ephriam was never more
firmly joined to his idols than is
the Republican party to "Protec
ton" 1t has never had but two
excuses for existence-the aboli.
tion OF slavery and the imposi-
ton Of protection, The first
issue has been dead for forty
years; but the other, "ptotec'
tion," will be q live issue for for
ty years to come if the Republi-
can party should remain in pow.
er so long. 1t can no more be ex'
pected to relieve the country o1
the abomination OF protection
than a rational man could beex
pected to saw of the limb or
which he was sitting. There is nc
hope against the monster OF pro
lection except IN Democracy.
