There used TO be when | was young
The land Of Anyhow.
Don't Care was king Of all this realm.
A cruel king was he.
For those who served him with good heart
lie treated shamefully.
When boys and girls their tasks would
slight
And cloud poor mothers brow
Hed say: Don't care. It's good enough
Just do IL anyhow"
But when in after life they longcd
To make proud fortune bow
He let them find that fate ne er smiles
ON work done anyhow.
For he who would the harvest reap
Must learn 10 use the pow
And pitch his tents n long way off
From the land of Anyhow

DGn'i Gel Excited Over Politics.

Both in the State and nation the
political pot is boiling fast and furi-
Gus. The leaders have pitched the
campaign on a low plane and like
priest, like people, We could wish
that the body OF our people would
go serenely on their way and refuse
to take up the quarrels of the can
didates, or allow themselves to get
excited over the issues of the day.
The year promises to give our busl
ness men fine opportunity II they
will push their business instead OF
trying to save the country We
have ali a plenty to 90 ourselves
without going crazy over the trouble
of other people. The politicians will
be grieved, to be sure, if they are
left to fight their battles alone, but
this is exactly what ought to happen
this wear. South Carolina sets the
whole world a good example of how
not to do it. She gets red in the face
and foams at the mouth. Neighb or
turns against neighbor and friend
against friend. Factions arise and
fuss and fight and fume and when
the clouds clear away, 10, Cole Blease
comes out with q crown! While we
people in North Carolina are in no
danger of being afflicted with man
like Blease, we are in danger of dam
aging the spirit of friendship and
fellowship among us by espousing
rather too hotIy the fortunes Of q
good man. For all the candidates
before our people are decent gentle
men. But it is g bad habit to get
into and grow excited and talk too
loud. Keep out the pepper. a lit
tie of it is all right for seasoning but
too much of it spoils the broth. The
gentlemen who appeal to US for cur
votes have set US a bad example.
Let US not follow it, but on the other
hand, without yielding a jot or a
title Of our convictions, let us be
and tolerant with each
other and smile at Satan rage. >

our FINANCIAL GROWTH.

Mr.. Ivey Watson, cashier of the
Bank of Enfield, has compiled very
interesting statement showing the
condition of all banks in Halifax
County at the close Of business Feb.
Is, 1902 and then again at the close
of business Feb. 20, 1912-a period
of ten years. We make few ex-
tracts from these comparative state
ments as follows:
First, ten Years ago there were
only five banks in the County as fol-
lows: Bank of Weldon, Bank of En-
field, Scotland Neck Bank, First Ma
tional Bank. and Bank of Littleton.
These five banks had total capital
stock of SIS. 05O.OO; cash in vaults,
STAG, s23.O8; deposits, 1852, 4S1 AZ;
total resources. $495 ,SS5.73
Second, in ten years the number
of banks has increased to eleven and
are as follows: Bank of Enfield,
Bank Of Weldon. FIRST National Bank,
of Weldon, Commercial & Farmers
Bank, of Enfield, Bank of Littleton,
Planters & Commercial Bank, of
Scotland Neck, Planters Bank, Of
Littleton. Scotland Neck Bank, Bank
of Roanoke Rapids, Bank of Halifax,
and Bank Of Hobgood. These eleven
banks show total capital stock of
$165, OOO.O 90; cash in vaults. $403. 154.-
Is. deposits, 81 1888, 1851; total re-
sources, 81, 5S1 ,257.82.
The above figures show a pretty
substantial and healthy growth for
ten years and we are pleased to re-
cord the fact.

qnently it is plain-that you should

THE GOSPEL OF GOOD ROADS.

The editor of Worlds Work, Wal
ter H. Pope, breaches a strong Cos
pei fer good roads when he says:
In dark corner Of one of the
Southern states-a county God had
forgotten and few men had discov-
cred, the sparse population arose a
year or two ago and said to one an
other: People go to places where
there are good roads. We have bad
roads. Few people come here. Let's
make good roads and see what will
happen They went to work build
ing good roads from Nowhere to
Anywhere. County and township
went into debt. Private persons put
up money. By great agitation and
much service they built road after
road through the woods. And the
scoffer said that nobody would ever
travel them. A lonely, perfect high
way through q thinly settled corner
of the world; it did look foolish to in
cur debt for that. But presently
people came-in motor cars; then
more came. Somebody discovered
that the land along the highways
was good land. 1t had been taken
for granted that because it was not
titled it vas OF little value. Now its
price has doubled-in places, quad
rupled; prosperous farms already
bloom where there was only waste
before.
Nor is this all. The people of the
lonely and formerly unvisited region
themselves had stayed at home for
lack Of roads that tempted them to
travel. Bat, as soon as they had
roads they began to go about. The
more prosperous Of them bought
motor cars to fit the roads. They
now go to the adjacent States, to the
mountains, to the sea-wherever
they will-in their touring cars.
They are becoming a travelled folk"

HON. v. {. DANIELS CLAIMS.
Garland E. Midyette Declares ne is lha
Man For Lieutenant Governor.

To the Editor:-It appears that
the candidacy of the Hon. Walter Il.
Daniel for the Democratic nomlna-
ton for Lieutenant Governor is
meeting with encouragement from
all sections of the State. This in
formation is most gratifying to the
friends of Mr.. Daniel, who believe
that he is worthy of the States high
est honors and that if nominated to
this high and honorable position he
would discharge its duties with fidel-
ity and efficiency and in keeping with
the history of the distinguished gen
tlemen who have held this position.
Mr.. Daniel is easily one Of the States
strongest men. In the legal profess
sion he is rightly regarded by his
brethren Of the bar as one of our
ablest and most successful lawyers,
and for number Of years in his
section he has enjoyed & most lucra-
tive practice and has been connected
with some Of the most important
litigation. He was selected by Gov
ernor Glenn as one Of the States
counsel in the recent litigation grow
ing out OF the controversy between
the railroads and the State in the
matters of the enforcement of the
passenger rate act Of the General
Assembly of 1907, and for three Con-
secutive terms he was the solicitor
of this judicial district and was truly
regarded as one Of the States most
efficient and conscientious prosecut-
ing attorneys. He represented his
senatorial district in the Senate of
1907 and in the deliberations OF that
memorable session Of our General
Assembly he took most active part
and was conspicuous for the ability
and faithfulness with which he
served the interest Of the people. In
the disagreement between the House
and Senate he vas appointed one of
the Senate conferees and his wisdom
and good judgment was felt in the
harmonizing adjustment Of the diff
ferences between the two bodies
He is not a politician nor an office
seeker. If he were he no doubt
would have been more highly non
ored. He is a man endowed with
strong natural ability and to this he
has added a collegiate training at
Wake Forest College and many years
of patient and indefatigable re-
search. He has a broad and com
prehensive knowledge Of the State,
its needs and its varied interests.
He would preside with dignity,
courtesy, impartiality and ability
over the deliberations OF the Senate.
In the coming campaign he would
be power On the stump, as he is
one Of the State most effective and
best debaters. But what is even
more than what has been said, he is
a man of high ideals and of unsul-
lied character. In his town and
county his influence has ever been
for morality and those movements
which have had for their purpose
the moral, intellectual and material
uplift of the people. Let the people
nominate him for this high position
and no mistake can be made and the
truths Of Democracy will be pro-
claimed b7 him On every stump in
the State in such a formidable and
attractive manner that 10 man
whom the Republicans may name
would be able to answer them. He
