The convention adopted strong
resolutions and instructed the del
egation to vote as a unit on all
things at Guthrie.
If there was, heretofore, any fric-
tlon or factiOnal differences, an out
slider could not detect it on the
floor of the convention.
The retiring state committeeman,
JAS, T. Burns, has been out of the

on making the conventi-n n the sue

1t is said by the boys who know,
that Mr. Burns so managed the
details th>t there was nothing to
mar the feelings of anyone, and thai
he had enough support from the city
and country delegates to virtually
control the convention
While some individuals have had
alleged grievances against him-his
final round up shows that he is
still a factor in Carter county re
publican politics.

THE ROADS,.

There was lot of good road work
done in York county last summer an(
fall. and il is hoped that this work vii
be continued this summer and fall ur
the same lines. with the added benefit
of more experience.
Although all kinds Of people have al
kinds of opinions as to the value 01
the work already done. some bein4
doubtful. some hopeful and som" fairly
well satisfied. we are inclined to think
that the result so far has been cncour-
aging rather than otherwise. and that
wise, honest management under the
present system will eventually give Us
good roads.

which will start in about three weeks
and Supervisor Douglas will have
things in shape that there may be nc

work. The request which the super
visor makes Is that the people will meet
the enumerators in the proper spirit
and furnish the desired information
President Taft has issued a proclama
ton requesting cooperation on the
part Of the public that the census may
be complete and correct.
The census enumerator will ask the
following questions:
What Is your house number?
What is your name?
The names of the members of youl
family?
What is the relationship of these
people to you?
How old are you?
Are you single, married, widowed Ol
divorced?
How long have you been married. II
at all?
How many children have you?
Where were you born?
Where was your father born?
Your mother?
How long have you been in this
country?
Are you naturalized?
Can you speak English. II not
what can you speak?
What Is your occupation?
Are you employed or an employer?
Were you out of work April Is, 1910;
How long were you out Of work In
1909?
Can you read and write?
Do you own or rent your home?
Any mortgage?
Are you a survivor Of the Union ol
Confederate navy or army?
Are you blind? One or both eyes?
Are you deaf or dumb?
April 15 will witness the inausura-
ton of the thirteenth census Of the
United States and on that date an army
of about $4,000 census takers will be-
gin their work, Each one Of these cen
sus takers will be armed with a badge
by which "ye may know them" and you
may nave no hesitancy in telling them
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. Should there be any
further question as to their credentials
each one of them will be provided with
certificate of appointment and those
who think he is not the real goods may
request him to show even that.

accusation was made. and failed t.
disclose it, will not be inclined to dis
close il afterward. Those who knew
and would not speak up, were guilty
of negative falsifying, and between
negative falsifyng and positive falsi-
fying is a very short step. So proof in
such matters is extremely difficult.
But is it true that our southern leg
islators have been so free from corrup-
ton. as the State seems To think? w"
would like to believe that, but We cam
not. Did not the dispen$ary investiga-
cations show to Il moral certainty. that
certain legislators sold their votes for
considerations? The matter has not
been pushed as it should have been,
and it will not be pushed; but who Is
it that really believes that votes were
not bought and sold?
Deliver us from the suspicion of
everybody. and everything. The
man who cntertains such a suspi-
cion is nuisance to himself, and to
those with whom he may be associated;
but still, do not let us reach the point
where We shut our eyes to the possi-
bility that there is any dishonesty any
where. When we do this, we merely
make ourselves the easy prey of those
who would rob us while we are look
ing at them. and robbers of this kind
are far more dangerous and annoying
than the felon, who takes his chances
in making a hold-up on the roadside,
or even the felon who come through
q Shuttered window after bed time.

There is to be a continuous vaudeville
programme, and the committee in
charge is promising a good show. The
proceeds are to be used in the beauti-

There was quite a large audience
out at the Spelling Bee" that was
neld in the court house last night, un-
der the auspices of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of the Associate Reformed Pres

sisted of spelling contests, one by the
grown people, and another by the grad
ed school children. music and recita-
tionS. AS is usual in such contests,
some of the best spoilers went down
Immediately on some of the easiest and
simplest words. while others managed
to hold their ground to creditable
lengths. The whole affair was very
much enjoyed by all present and the
net proceeds amounted To about $50.

"BriberY In Mississippi."

free of scandals relating to bribery and
bribe taking, and We have formed the

when we nave heard from time To time
Of the conduct that stains many OF

THE AUTOMOBILE.

That the automobile has passed the
experimental stage, is a fact so evident
that 1t seems almost absurd to refer
to it.
the automobile Is here not to stay;
but to go as is evidence by the in
creasing number.
And it is a great thing too, for peo'
pie who need 1t, or who can afford 1t.
As a matter Of pure pleasure per-
haps, nothing so appeals to the aver
age man or woman as the fact OF being
whisked about the country, with the
rapidity and comfort that the automo-
bile furnishes.
There seems to be no limit to the
speed Of the high powered machines
but the ordinary, everyday vehicles
are fast enough. The satisfaction OF
being able to run from Yorkville tc
Sharon. Clover, Hickory Grove, OF
Rock Hill, for instance. in from 10 to Il
minutes, has only to be mentioned to be
appreciated.
If man had had the hardhood
twenty years ago to suggest that sucr
thing would ever be possible, ne
would have been put down at once a
something akin to a fool Now II
makes man feel foolish to think that
he had ever believed otherwise.
Only few years back, none but the
big rich could think Of owning an au-
tomobile, but now the machines are
coming within the reach Of people OF
moderate circumstances, both for util-
ity and for pleasure.
Indeed. it looks as If the automobile
era is only just beginning to fairly
open up.
