COUNSEL FROM A WISE SOURCE

At the Democratic Congressional
convention in Greensboro last week
Hon. C. B. Watson-"Cy" Watson,
the old Democratic war-horse known
and loved all over North Carolina
was one of the speakers. He said
some things that need to be pressed
home 'for the good of the party"
Among other things Mr.. Watson
urged Democrats to quit 'iticisng
Democratic officials. When one is
doing right, praise him and shout for
him, and if you can't praise him
keep your mouth off of him, keep
your pen off OF him. Our newspapers
are getting tooloose. You don't hear
the enemy criticising and abusing
their otfice-holders. When they get
together they fight like cats, but
when one of their number gets in Of
flee they stand by him and uphold
his hands. No man should imagine
he has more sense in his little head
than the conventions that put out
candidates. 1t has come to the pass
that nearly every community has a
platform of it's own. Democrats are
only powerful when united. They
must not be led astray by little side
issues that come up in communities.

The Sixth District.
Thomasrille Charity and Children.


Outside OF Wake the warmest sec
ton OF the State, by all odds, in the
recent campaign was the Sixth dis
trict. There are a great many Scotch
men in that country and a mad
Scotchman is as hard to handle as
tiger. Some ugly things were said,
and some bad advertising was given
that fine section. The columns OF
the newspapers were soiled week after
week by such words as traitor"
"vote-buyer" and so on. The air was
full of brickbat and they were hurled
at the heads of men who have stood
we'll heretofore and who will stand
well again as soon as the clouds clear
away. What is the use OF all this
billingsgate anyhow? And especial
~ when it is poured out on members
OF the same political household? 1t
never does anybody any good. 1t
wins no votes. 1t only serves to
strengthen the opposition. Whom
the gods would destroy they first
make mad, is a proverb our old
friends in the sixth district would do
We'll TO DOuuSE. we lcSI hiuOlJ ~
ward them all. We have uttered or
written no word on either side, but
we have deeply deplored the bitter
ness of the campaign, and the scars
it has left that will be years in heal
ing if they are ever healed at all. We
know these men, and we are sure they
are ashamed of the course they pur-
sued. In no other district OF the
State has there been such bitter abuse
as in the sixth district; and the ex-
ample they have set (they must ex-
cuse us for saying) is unworthy OF
the names they bear. Wehad hoped
that that time was Fastening when
we would rise above the plane OF per-
sonal vitupera ton, and appeal to
reason and judgment in the settle,
ment of our political differences; and
we believe that on the whole we are
tending that way, but the campaign
among the Scotchmen gave the up
ward movement a sad setback.

Jeffries No "White Man"
Richmond Virginian.

Richmond Virginian.
Personally, the fact that James J.
Jeffries consented to enter the ring
with Jack Arthur johnson, negro, is
In itself sufficient to cause US GER
tain satisfaction in the result In the
language of the street, he "gOt what
was coming to him." For his "broken
heart" his gorilla tears, and the near
emotions which may be supposed to
constitute the disappointment OF a
thug we have not the most remote
sympathy. Jeffries chose his bed, and
his bed-felloW. He courted his fate.
Anything that happened to him is de-
void Of interest, so far as he Is con-
cerned, to all decent men.
There is, however, a pathetically
serious side to this conceded orgy OF
so-called sport-an aspect which has
already closed the lives of nearly a
score of negroes, and the wounding
of hundreds Of others. All over the
country simple-minded race is get
ting into it's head a false pride, a
foolish impression, disastrous am
bition. Because one big negro has
whipped one big white man in an am
phitheatre, many small negroes will
think themselves large, will think
themselves wise, will take to them
selves an enervating conceit. Exact
ly because white man was born with
a brain small enough to misconceive
the meaning of his birth, there is a
real danger that many black men
will nisconceive the thing that they
ought to minimize into being the
thing that they ought to magnify.
To see a child-like people who with in
finite labor have been slowly benefit
ing themselves through the years,
in whose case the hope is ever at the
dawn and never at the sunrise, now
thrown back upon the darkness by
such a savage incident as the Reno
prize-fght is a disheartening spec
tacle. II ever there was time when
the better element among the negroes
stands in need of that intelligence to-
ward which they have been strug-
Cling, it is now.
II ever there was the opportunity
for them to show that the child is be-
ginning to be a man it is this
moment. If ever the hour has struck
when those among the negroes who
have absorbed sanity out of superb
cial learning need to exert it for the
good of their race, it is striking
twelve at present.

PEOPLE OUGHT TO KNOW MORE
ABOUT THEIR STATE.

Editor Cobb, of The Morganton
News-Herald, was much impressed by
what he saw OF Eastern North Caro-
lima on his recent trip to Wilmington
and Wrigbtsville Beach to attend the
Press Convention. He says:
The people of eastern and wester n
North Carolina know too little about
each other and the resources of the
other end OF their State. In fact, with
some it is almost two States. The
editor of the News-Herald was struck
with this fact during trip OF the pass
two weeks through the eastern Sec
ton. We should mix more-the peo-
pie of the east should visit the noun
tains, and the hills and the valleys of
Piedmont Carolina, and the people of
the west should go down occasionally
to see their brethren of the east and
note their resources and wonderful
development. We would enjoy the
sea breezes and mingling with some
OF the finest people on earth and they
would be pleased with our hills and
mountains and find their same kind
OF people and be still prouder OF their
State.
Our trip was a revelation in many
respects and we are a better North
Carolinian in consequence of visit
to many new places, to us, in the
east.
THE Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls,
the famous English aviator, who
won the honor of being the only man
to make a round trip across the En-
glish channel from England to
France, was killed Tuesday at the
aviation meet at Bournemouth En-
gland, while flying in his Wright ma
chine. The aeroplane turned a somer-
sault, crashed to the ground and
crushed the aviator to death, directly
opposite the grand stand. Rolls had
assembled to a height of 125 or $50
| feet when his machine went wrong
He tried to extricate himself but the
drop was too swift. Mr.. Rolls was
a manufacturer of automobiles, re-
puted to be worth millions, and had
given much attention to AUTOMOBILE
ing, ballooning and aviation.

nected with the paper in an editorial
capacity. But those who arefamilar

tecting that in this they were mis-
taken. At first it was stated that

consummation OF a long cherished
dream OF our friend, and the new turn
surprises us greatly. We do not I'M

Hon. Claude Kitchin, member OF
Congress from the second district
who was renominated without OPP
position at Rocky Mount last week,
will be next to the Oldest member
from a point OF service, Hon. John
H. Small. of the First district, being
the oldest by one term, this being
Mr.. Kitchin's sixth and Mr.. Smalls
seventh term. They both have made
fine records in Congress, and their
constituents showed wisdom in max
ing no change in their Representa-
tives. In the case of Mr.. Kitchin the
convention did not adopt any plat
form the declaration being made that
this was not necessary as the nomi-
nee was a platform in himself.

a WOMAN'S BACK,
The Aches and Pains VIII Disappear
If the Advice OF This Henderson
Citizen Is Followed.

A woman's back has many aches and
pains.
Most times It's the kidneys fault.
Backache is really kidney ache;
That's why Doan's Kidney Pills cure
it.
Many Henderson women know this.
Read what one has to say about it.
Mrs. Henry Polston, 1872 Hamilton St,
Henderson, n. C., says: Il used Doan's
Kidney Pills and found them SO benefi-
cial that do not hesitate to speak in
their favor. Dull, nagging backaches
and pains in my kidneys annoyed me for
long time and was also bothered by
too frequent passages OF the kidney Sc
cretions. l always felt tired and languid
and had but little energy, finding my
homework was burden. Reading about
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured box at
the kerner- MacNair Co. g Drug Store and
had only used them a short time before
the backaehe and kidney weakness were
disposed of. soon regained my strength
and energy and l now feel better in every
way"

The reception accorded Hon. Cyrus
B. Watson at the convention yester-
day was a rousing one. ICY" Wat
son, as he is universally known, is
the most popular Democrat in the
Fifth district today. When he arose
to second the nomination of Judge
Jones, it was several minutes before
he could make himself heard. The
presentation Of no candidates name
was greeted with more applause than
was the appearance of this old Demo
cratic war-horse on the floor of the
convention.
ICY" Watson is dear to Democratic
hearts and could have had the nomi-
nation the boys are fighting over for

MODEL JURY CHARGE.

In opening the term OF Wake Su-
perior court Monday morning Judge
Charles NJ. Cooke delivered possibly
the shortest charge to the grand
jury that is of record in North Caro-
lima. 1t was a model of its kinda
regular warm weather document
and was creditable alike to the head
and heart of the good man who de-
liverdit. If Judge Cooke had not lust
been renominated as his own success
or on the bench he might have been
accused of ''electioneering" by the
brevity and sensibleness of such a de-
liverance when the thermometer was
registering away up in the nineties.
Here it is:
Gentlemen of the jury:
Owing to the lateness of the train
which prevented opening court earl

were licensed during the year ending
June 30. OF the five dollars paid for
each license, three dollars goes to

which the owner of the automobile
lives. Vance is credited with 50
licenses during the year. The great
