All Voters Who Are Not Register
+ ed Shonld Do So
DON 7 DELAY 4 SINGLE DAY
Campaign Is Now Hall Over, But An
other Month Remains for Active
Work Chairman Foushee, Con.
fideRt Of a Fine Majority, Is
Taking no Chances.

To the Democrats of Durham County:
The campaign is now half over; on
ly one month is 1eft in which to work.
During this time all voters who are
not properly registered and who
have paid their tax will have to see
to it that their names are on the
registration books. The registration
books books are open 20 days, be-
ginning on Friday, October 7th and
closing on Saturday October 29th. No
matter how enthusiastic a man may
be unless his name is on the regis
tration books, and unless he votes,
his enthusiasm is lost, in other words
II takes votes to carry an election,
and remember elections are not car
ried until election day.
SO far the campaign has progress
ed satisfactorily. A splendid founda-
ton was laid two years ago by
Messrs Brawley and Sykes, who labor
ed long and well and brought victory
out OF adverse conditions. We are
fortunate in baying Mr.. W. ]. Brog-
den. as secretary, and Mr.. J. A. Rob-
inson for many years editor of the
Durham Daily Sun, as assistant secre-
tary. We have headquarters in the
Wright building and will be glad to
see you at any and all times.
Present indications are exceedingly
favorable and l feel absolutely con-
fident OF fine majority; at the same
time l am mindful Of the scriptural
injunction: Let. him that fhinketh
he standeth take heed lest he fali' and
| urge you not 10 be over confident.
The republicans cannot beat the
democrats in Durham county. but
over confidence can. II our people
sit down and think that the election
is over, we may be disappointed, but
II they continue TO work for the next
month and see TO II that our friends
are registered and then that they go
to the polls and vote, we will have a
glorious victory in November.
We have a splendid ticket and we
ought to win. We have three gal
liant Confederate soldiers who are
candidates for congress, senate and
the house. We should put forth a
special effort This may be the last
time we will have an opportunity to
vote for a Confederate soldier. Their
lines are fast fading away. You can
not pick up a newspaper without see
ing that some brave Confederate has
answered the final summons. We owe
them debt Of gratitude. and for
one am delighted at the opportunity
to give them this small mead Of
praise.
Eternal yigilence is the price Of
Liberty Eternal work-from now
until the sun goes down on the sth
Of Noyember-is the price OF our vic.
tory.
Yours very truly.

casting their first ballot for the candi-
dates of the democratic party.
The club, believes that one of the
most important works that it, will
have to do In the coping campaign
viii be to wage campaign of edu-
cation. Those who have been work
ing In the interest of the club have
found numbers of young men. who
will be able TO vote in this next elect
ion, but they reached the age of 81
after tax listing time and they thought
they would not be able to vote.
One OF the ways in which this un-
familiarity with the election laws will
be overcome. will be for the different
members Of the club TO have a per-
sonal talk with as many of the young
men as possible. TO all, who vote
for the first time In November, a
pamphlet will be sent, In which a
number OF questions aad answers,
about the election laws will be print
ed. Either the club or the executive
committee will do this work.
The officers elected at the meeting
on Saturday night were appointed by
the president to act as committee on
further elections. and as a managing
or executive committee till the next
meeting OF. the club. This committee
Is given .power TO select certain men,
bers OF the club in different parts OF
the county and delegate them to make
a canvass of the young voters in their
precinct and see that they register.
This work will begin at once and the
other committees will be appointed
to look after number of other mat
ters that will be brought up before
the club at the next meeting.
The club starts on with 167 names
on its roll and the number is being
Increased daily. To each OF these
members will be given a certificate
Of membership. This certificate will

A peculiar and perplexing problem
Is offered by the kirkland Enterprise
in the following: A friend asks us
to multiply S5 by S5. We do so, and
announce the result of S25. Now
multiply 500 cents by 500 cents, give
the answer in cents pure and simple,
not as fractional parts of dollar.
We do so. and are surprised to see
the figures climb up to 100000 cents,
which is $4,000. AS $5 and 500
cents are equivalent, the result is
puzzllng. Ii cannot be argued that
decimal marks should be used. A
cent, as such, is as distinct unit as
a dollar, and as the result is to be
announced in cents, the decimal can
not be pleaded in eXtenuatlon of the
rather surprising result But there
is clearly something wrong. Can any
reader explain It?
It is very easy of explanation. says
"The Dallas News" When You have
s. and multiply it by 5 you have S25
in real money. When you accumulate
500 pennies and multiply them by
500 you have $4,000 worth of sub

much better to have 500 times 500
cents than FIVE times IS in the same

Diplomacy And Living.

Sir Henry Wotton's definition of an
ambassador as IAN honest man sent
to lie abroad for the good of his
ountry'-which was quoted by Pro-
fessor Pollard in his address on poll
tics and Character"-was destined to
cost its author dear. 1t was written
in a friends ALBUMIN at Augsburg in
1904. Eight years afterward Casper
Scioppius, a Jesuit controversialist,
used it as an argument against the
honor and integrity of James |. in
a Latin attack on the King.
James was very angry and demand
ed an apology from Wotton. This
was promptly forthcoming, but the
offense does not appear to have been
overlooked. and, according to Mr.. l..
