Hon. R. L Doughton, "Farm-
er, Bob," candidate for Congress
in this district, filed his three ap-
pointments in Watauga | a t
week-at Meat Camp, Cove Creek
and Blowing Rock-and n e W 8
from each and every one OF the
points is to the effect that large
and enthusiastic crowds greeted
him, who listened with profound
interest to every word he said.
We have heard differentones say
that his speech was of the best,
and his arguments unanswera-
BILE. He left Watauga for STAN

and will, we suppose, spend the
remainder of the time from now

Growing Fat n th. War. !,

n Each passing day develops ad-
ditional facts in regard to the &C.
tivities OF manufacturing con-
Germs in this country in filing or.
ders for Europe growing out of
war conditions. The Observer
has made effort to keep track OF
this newly-created business, and
has done SO to some extent, but
it. is growing beyond control in
ordinary newspaperparagraphs.
The Chicago Association OF Com.
merce is, authority for the state
ment thft since the war supplies
through and from Chicago have
aggregated $4,000, 900 = not
for the whole period, but by the
week. Furthermore, this repre-.
sents Chicago business alone.
The implement factories, t h e
blanket makers, the knitting and
spinning mills, the leather goods
people, the copper. and allumi-
mum supply houses, the horse
traders and dealers. in beef and
the producers OF corn and wheat
are doing a far livlier business
than they have been accustomed
to in normal times. With the war
helping the the country at this
increasing rate while it is in pro.
gress, it is pleasant to speculate
on the heft of the boom which is
going to set in cfor this country
when the war is ended. Asa mat
ter of course, the sooner the war
is over the better, but with trade
developing at the present rate
the United States will be in posi-
tion to wait patiently for the end
and still grow fat.-Charlotte

The Landmark.

The Land mark.
1t is'generally recognized that
the result Of the congressional
elections will be interpreted Ell.
ther as an endorsement or repu.
diation of President Wilson's ad-
ministration. II a Democratic
majority is maintained in Con.
gress it will be looked upon as a
vote of confidence in Mr.. Wilson
and his administration; il the
Republicans are given a majority
in Congress it will mean a repu-
diation OF the Presiden and his
policies. Commenting on this,
the New York World says: ..'
"The defeat of President vii.
son would greatly weaken the
Presidents influence abroad. 1t
would likewise impair the power
OF the United States when t h e
times for the restoration ofpeace.
Issues of vital Importance tociv-
ilization are in the Presidents
hands, but these issues will be
torn from his hands unless t h e
American people prove that his
ideals are their ideals and that
his purposes are their purposes.
A President OF the United States
who has been repudiated at the
polls could not be expected to
WELD much influence in London,
Berlin, Paris, st. Petersburg, vi.
emma and Toxic. In this cam
paign President Wilson repre-.
sents much more than the Demo-
cratic party. He represents dem
ocracy itself. He is today t h e
most commanding representa-.
tive of democracy among ali the
leaders of the nations, and the
confidence that the American
people express in him at election
day will be a measure of the con-
fidence they express in the effl-
cacy OF their own institutions"
Bear these facts in mind and if
you are for President Wilson
and what he stands for vote for
the Democratic nominee for Con.
gress, make a special effort for
the election of Congressman
Doughton.

There Is No Excuse for It.

This timely editorial from the
Lexington Dispatch, makes inter
esting reading just now:
There is absolutely no excuse
for the cry of hard times from
the farmers of this section of the
State, because they don't grow
cotton, with the exception of
cotton, is selling at 33 1-3 to SO
per cent higher than ever before.
"The man who is trying to con-
vince the farmer that he is in q
bad way has a hard road to trav-
ell. The farmer is selling his wheat
from 81 to $1.5O a bushel, and
everything else he produces at
the same rate, There never has
been a time when. the prospects
were brighter to make money
from farm products than today.
CAS- we have said before, it be-
hooves every farmer to SOW every
bushel OF wheat that he can pos
sibly get in the ground t is
year, because it will mean big
money in 1915. Wheat will sell
from $3.50 to 81 per bushel and
corn will not sell for less t h a n
$1.50; SO SOW wheat this fall and
put in q big crop of corn n Q K t
spring. Grow more hogs because
meat will be high next year.

The Newton Enterprise, taking
note of the absurd and DANA
gogical attempt OF Republican
speakers to charge, the price OF
cotton to q Democratic admins
tration, recalls that in :Novem,-
Der, 1905, cotton sold as:low az
6A cents and that q meeting was
held in the court house at New
ton and delegates appointed to
attend a. meeting. OF farmers and
manufacturers in New Orleans,
held to formulate plans to stem
the downward price of cotton.
Continuing the Enterprise says:
Many OF our readers will re-
member that meeting in the
court house. It.was q non par
tisan meeting. 1t was the mid
term election year OF Theadore
Roosevelt's second administra-
ton. The election was just over
and nobody then or during the
campaign attributed the low
prices to politics instead of cry
ing calamity in the campaign
that year and trying to turn q
common misfortune that all g.
like regretted, to the disadvan-
tage of the party in power at
Washington and for the election
OF their candidates for county
Offices. the Democrats, and the
Enterprise did it's full part, coun-
seled patience and concertaction
in marketing a crop that was so
large that if thrown on the mar.
ket hurridly would cause mitch
distress. This was the begin
ming of organized cooperation
of Southern farmers. It won
that year, for' by spring and
summer the price rose to 8 cents.
If Democrats had gone over the
country thatyear blaming Roose
welt with the price. of cotton and
bowling politics. as Republicans
are now doing, they would have
made themselves ridiculous and
been guilty of dishonesty and
crime.
That year the crop was three
orfour million more bales than
this year. There Was no war any
where in the world. The seas
were open and the great mills of
England, France and Germany,
Austria and Russia were run
ming on full time.
Contrast the conduct of Demo-
Gratis in 1905 with the Republi-
cans this year. Instead OF attrib-
uting the present low prices of
cotton to the war that has ta-
ken the men out of the mills of
all Europe and, sent them to bat
tie, as they know is the case, and
cooperating with and aiding the
farmers to hold their cotton,
they are playing the roll of dem
agogues and the enemy of:thefa
mers. -..~

TIPPING is ANCIENT.
In Shakespeare's Time II Used to BE
Called Vailsaivina.

Called vailsgivins.
The word Tip is of comparatively mod
ern origin. as it used to be walls,
shortened form of avails or profits. We
speak now of the avails of an estate
or of a business transaction. A hun
dred years ago they called gratuities
TO servants or walters walls. DR.. John
sons dictionary. published In 1I55, de-
fines walls as money given to servants
as perquisite or present rather than
in the way of wages" Dean Swift
mentions person whose revenues.
besides walls. amounted to f13." Shake
speare uses the word In the same sense
in "Pericles' say. But bark you. my
friend, twas we that made up this gar
ment and there are certain coudol-
ments. certain walls" lie wanted TO
be condoled with tip.
The practice probably continued TO
grow after Shakespeares time. for late
in the eighteenth century a phlan-
thropist and reformer of the period
published tract against indiscrim-
mate almsgiving, aud denounclng the
walls practice as demorallzlng both to
those who gave and to those who ac-
cepted the gratuties. This early re-
former was Jonas Hauway Q1l2-lTSGl.
who. after writing a book of eastern
travel. undertook TO reform some OF
the social vices of his day. He de-
uounced vailsgiving and practiced
what he preached by refusing TO pay
more than the stipulated price for re-
freshments or for any Kind OF service
or To give gratuities to servants who
received wages. But his crusade died
with him. and walls still survive under
the odious name of tips.-lndlanapolis

MISS JANE KENYON
Former Aged Resident Died at
Eugene, oregon


News was received here last week
by Wheeler Rice, of the death OF

TO TEST INCOME TAX
U. p. director Protests Against Pay
ment by the Company

New York, Mar. 13.-To test the
validity of the federal income tag act
suit was filed in the United States
court here today to restrain the I'm
ion Pacific Railroad company from
paying taxes under the new law. The
petitioner, Frank r. Brushaver OF
Brooklyn, stakeholder, maintains the
income tax law is unconstitutional
Mr.. Brushaver contends that the in
come tax conflicts with the third
clause of the second section Of article
l of the federal constitution in that
while it purports to be tax upon
net income. it is, in fact. tax upon
the real and personal property in
which the net receipts of the Union
Pacific were invested and is direct
tax and therefore void. He main
tanned, moreover, that the law is un-
constitutional because it seeks to i'm
pose tax upon income received
prior to its passage.
The suit aroused interest in finan-
cial circles because it was said to be
the first of the kind brought to test
the new law in its relation to cor
poration,
