Senator Stone on the Election.

Senator Stone says it was a
square fight between Democrats
and Republicans, and we have
shown them they can't lick u.s."
The Senator says:
The Republicans have been say
ing that if they could become unit
ed they could lick us" Senator
Stone said. They were united
everywhere, and the contest gener-
ally was clean-cut fight between
the Democrats standing by Will
sons administration and the Repub-
licanS opposing it.
We have shown them that they
cannot lick US, even when they are
united. The vote of the Progressive
party seems to have almost COM
pletely disappeared
Considering the fact that this
is an off year; that the Democrats
have enacted a new tariff law and
new currency legislation; that we
have had to meet the hard times
cry, and that a great war is on
which has absorbed public atten-
ton. | think the Democrats have
done fine.

SpruntS Finding The Way.

Alexander Sprunt & Son, the Will
mington cotton exporters, have sue
ceeded in reaching the port of &C.
noa with a cargo of 5000 bales,
which is pretty good beginning.
The cotton was caeried by an Italian
steamer, and its safe passage is as
sured, so far as interference by a
belligerent nation is concerned. This
shipment seems to indicate that the
way has been opened to cotton ship
ments to Italy. 1t would not be the
responsibility of this country should
this cotton Fl lally turn up in Germa-
ny or England. So it reaches a
market and our exporters get a
good price need be the only concern.
But whatever venture in exporting
the Sprunts undertake may be con-
sidered safe. 1t is in the knowledge
of this fact that The Observer is dis
posed to look upon the Italian ship
ment as an opening wedge that
gives promise Of results. Charlotte

The only way to insure the people

is for the townships in this section
to get together and employ man

has proven to be the best road build
er the people of Halifax county ever

the soil in this section, and his long

Under 0ne-Crop Bondage

Texas will produce about 4,00O,-
GOO bales of cotton this year. The
acreage is about per cent, smaller
than last year, but the yield is
greater.
Prospects are not bright for the
marketing of the crops and the pee
pie of Texas are doing what they
can to relieve the situation for the
planters by buying a bale" by the
wearcotton-goods" movement and
Ply other experiment.
These methods of boosting cotton
may have some little effect on the
situation, but when they shall! have
run their course Texas will still have
big cotton crop on hand along with
remnants of last years production
This also will be the case in Other
Southern States where the tendenc,
has been to spread" on cotton anc

cotton is low or is not selling readi

DAY FOR CELEBRATION
SOME PLAYERS DO UNUSUALLY
WELL ON BIRTHDAYS.
George MuIIn Shuts Out st. Louis
Browns Without Hit or Run, While
Sar Crawford and duffy"
Lewis Boost Averages.

Frank j. Navin. owner Of the De-
troit Tigers, has had the suggestion
made to him that whenever any of
his players is to have birthday the
fact be announced in the papers in
the city in which the Jenningsi4es are
performing The reason for this sug-
gestion is that on July 4, 1912, the De-
troit papers called attention to the
fact that George Mullin would that
day celebrate his thirty-second birth
day. Portly George, now with the
Indianapolis Feds, proved some cele-
brater, for he not only BANKED the
Browns in runs, but denied them hits,
too.
On the morning of April 10 De-
troit paper carried story that Sam
Crawford was celebrating his thirty
fourth birthday, 1t being pointed out
in said story that 'Wahoo Sam" on
his birthday anniversaries was not in
the habit Of batting heavily, and that
his average for the games he had
played on April IS, from 1902 on, had
been just .231. Sam, noting this fact.

Officers at Vera Cruz 0utranked

HAVE NO ADMIRAL IN NAVY
Mexico Situation Calls Attention to
Policy by Which American Prestige
Is Sacrificed-CIash at Port
Narrowly AVerted.

Vera Cruz, MISUNDERSTANDING the
Atlantic fleet off Vera Cruz has dis
closed an astounding situation in the
American navy, says James B. Wood
in Chicago Daily News. With the
largest fleet this nation has ever as
embed for active service, one Of the
largest any nation has ever had in one
port, its commanding rear admiral is
outranked because Of seniority by the
British rear admiral, whose entire
command has been from one to three
small cruisers. representing not one
twentieth OF the strength of the Amer
lean bSttleships.
In the event of any united action
Rear Admiral Craddock of the royal
navy would command. Unless there
should be special Rgreement between
the British and United States govern
ments the entire American naval
forces would be under his orders.
Washington-by which is meant con-
g1ess and the national administration,
this and preceding ones-is responsible
for the situation. With all its claims
as a world power, with a $130,000,000
year navy, including the largest gu
perdreadnaughts of any nation, the
American officers in foreign waters
are usually outranked by those of 9TH
er nations because America has Meth
er admirals nor vice-admirals. It's
highest rank is rear admiral, except
the grade of admiral of the navy,
which is held by George Dewey. His
duties are seldom on sea, and the rank
goes out when he goes.
In Mexico's waters the situation al
ready has threatened serious conse-
Quences. Rear Admiral Craddock and
Rear Admiral Fletcher were on the
verge Of friction at Vera Cruz, but the
British government automatically adj
vised Craddock to waive his rights OF
precedence.

sumed its serious phases Great Britain,
