PARIS CELEBRATES.
Demonstration of JOY Caused by Vic
tories of the Allies.


Paris, Sept. 27.-At one point in
the environs of Paris yesterday one
hundred and twenty aeroplanes went
into the air in spontaneous DEM
ontsration of joy over the victories
for the arms Of the allies in the
north and east.
The arrival Of ten train loads Of
German prisoners brought the first
indication of the successes, one air
man after another waving the tri-
color
Parisians, who had heard that
German prisoners were passing
through a suburb focked there today
in the hope of seeing them. They
brought camp stools. lunch baskets
and opera glasses.
The only prisoners seen all day,
however, were three who belonged
to a detachment which had been kept
at the suburb for some time, but the
sight-seers witnessed the passing of
a train load of captured machine
guns.
Orders have been given to send
prisoners from the front only at
night.

THE BEAUFORT SITUATION.
Governor Manning Stresses Impor
tance of White SUPREMACY.


Columbia, Sept 27:--"I, believe in
the rule of the white people," said
Governor Manning today, in response
to request from the newspapers for
an expression on the situation report
ed to exist in Beaufort, S. G. Il do
not feel that it is proper for the gov
ernor to meddle in local politics as
rule, but in this particular case the
situation presents a very grave and
serious question. The Democratic
party stands for white supremacy,
and to use the negro vote in an cleo
tion among the Democrats, is setting
very dangerous precedent for all
future time. / cannot too strongly
stress the Importance of white rule
in South Carolina. The precedent
established by bolt from the pri-
mary for the purpose of using the
negro voters in the general election,
is a most dangerous one.
Personally. under no circum-
stances would l accept nomination
or election to any office at the hands
of the negro" said the governor.
THE negro is all right in his place,
but his place is certainly not tn.
ballot box. This has been proven
time and time again in the past. The
white man is the negro's best friend
when the negro is out of politics, and
the negro himself is happier and
more prosperous without the ballot,
for the reason that he is not then to
be used for the purpose of defeating
the will of the white citizens of
South Carolina

Berlin, via London, Sept. 25.-
The German official communication
! says that after an artillery prepara-
ton of great intensity, which at some
points lasted 80 hours, the expected
} Anglo-French offensive has begun on
the western front.
The communication claims that
the. northern British wing has al
ready been repulsed and that the
French also have been repulsed near
Souchez, Neuvlle and at most points
between Champagne and the Argon-
ne, their retreating columns losing
very heavily from artillery nre.
The text OF the statement follows:
"Along the entire front from the
sea to the Vosges the enemy fire has
increased. 1t was especially violent
east Of Ypres between the canal of
La Bassee and Arras and also in
Champagne from Prosnes to the Ar
gonne.
after severe artillery preparation
which at some points lasted SO hours,
the expected attack began.
Between the railways of Ypres,
Roulers and Confines. the British at
tackled early this morning. Their
attack on the northern wing has al
ready been repulsed after hand to
hand fighting before and in our po-
sitions.
They are further attacking to the
northeast and the southeast of Ar
mentieres and north of La Bassee
canal.
'On Thursday evening, as has now
become known, the French pene-
trated our battered down trenches
near Souchez. We elected them yes
terday. The French were again re-
pulsed yesterday near Souchez and
on both sides of Neuville.
I'm Champagne, from Prosnes to
the Argonne, the French attacked
but were at majority of points re-
pulsed. This was due in part to our
strong artillery fire. In part also
the attacks collapsed a few steps in
front of our distractions under the
fire of our infantry and machine
guns.
THE retreating enemy columns
suffered considerable losses, owing to
the very severe artillery and machine
gun fire.
"At some points on the front
hand to hand fighting is proceeding.
Weak French attacks against
Bezanage La Graude, north of Lune-
Vile, were unsuccessful.

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK

The Democrat with many progress
sive men of the county, regardless of
earty affiliations, is rejoicing over the
fact that the farm demonstration work
is toabe continued under the efficient
direction of Mr.. Ernest L. Perkins.
The sad blow given this work by the
toard of county commissioners was
universally regretted and we are
proud to be able to state that people
'cf all political factions are rallying TO
the support Of the demonstration work.
and that through their .ce-eRerstion it
WILDE continued for another year.
Those who are personally opposed

tgvate their minds for the growth, of a
broader Vision Of brogressiyeness and
then eau on him to help cultivate their
soil . in. order to grow 80 mare and
better agricultural products We
should lay aside all sselfshness in the,
matter and cooperate in making Hem
derson county one of the weafthiest in
the State, which can be done by all
working together for the good of our
selves and the community.

HENDERSON CoUNTY's POSITION

The Jackson County Journal with
reference to Henderson county's afili-
alton with the Greater Western Norta
Carolina association -asks~if the DEM
ccrat is to place the Journal in the
Ananias club with the WaynesviIle
Courier provided the Democrat and
the Greater Hendersonville club does
not think as the Journal thinks. OF
course not, but if you think a false
hood and then speak it, where, are
you? The Journal also wants to
know: "sWould it not have been much
letter If Henderson had explained it's
position before it was called upon foc
an explanation? We were not given
an opportunity to explain before in
situations and untruths were hurled
at us.
Here's what the Journal has to say
about it and we are pleased to know
that it has handled no bitter words
against Henderson county:
1.-THE Waynesville Courier acting in
good faith, as we believe, and gleam-
ing it's information, as we assume,
from dispatches, from Hendersonville.
published in the Asheville daily pa
rers, took occasion to criticise Hen
Jacksonville for having withdrawn its
support from the Greater Western
North Carolina Association and staG-
ing at the same time that that paper
understood that Henderson had repu-
dated it's obligations to the Associa-
ton, for the current year.
The Western Carolina Democrat,
published at Hendersonville, hastens
to explain that it was only the Greater
HendersonvilIe Club that withdrew
from the Association, that Henderson
will continue to give its support and
will pay its obligations. But at the
sametime the Democrat proceeded to
make some unpleasant remarks con-
corning the Courier calling it a "Jour-
nal of misinformation," and speaking
of the article in question as a nasty
editorial" and ending its article with
this:
The Democrat would also warn
Editor Tompkins of the Jackson Coun-
ty Journal to be sure of the ground on
which he stands when he insinuating

$50 Henderson has withdrawn from
the Greater Western North Carolina
association? Upon what meat doth
this, Caesar feed that he has grown
SO great? Did Henderson become too
big for the association or is the assc-
Cation too big for Henderson,"
Whaddaya mean-be sure of our
ground? Does the Democrat intend tc
leave the impression that the Journal
does not at all times agree with the
opinions of the Democrat and the
Greater Hendersonville club that it
will also be placed in the Ananias club
with the Courier? That it will be call
ed NASTY" Malicious" or Ignorant?
Really, now. Brother Hollowell
cont you think that it would have
been much better if Henderson had ex-
planned its position before it was call
ed upon for an explanation?

THE HEALTH OFFICERS.

DR.. J. S. Brown gives expression to
very sensible thoughts when he per-
tinently says in his interview else
where in the Democrat: Politics and
personalities must be excluded so that
I can do everything in my power for
every fellow citizen" He is not call
ing for personal or political help but
for cooperation in the help of the
community.
If the people will give DR.. Brown
and DR.. Crawford the hearty co-opera-
ton they are entitled to Henderson
county will oon occupy a new posi-
ton on the health map of the world.
DR.. Brown says, 81 aim to earn my
wages ten times over and more" He
could not afford to assume the respon-
sibilities with wholeheartedness unless
he did intend to earn more than his
wages. We might say the same thing
of DR.. Crawford, for they are both If.
fering their services at a most reason
allie price.
They are greatly interested in what
can be done in the way of improving
the health of. the community but their
efforts will amount to very little un-
less the people and especially the med
ical profession cooperate with them
to the fullest extent.

Occasionally we hear a protest
against the policy adoptedsby the DEM
ocrat about a year ago against the
publication of death resolutions with
out pay.
1t seems to US that it would not be
difficult for a person with reasoning
faculties to clearly see that a bus
mess oncer cannot possibly ato adj
advantage give away its sole commod-
fty. White space is all we have to sell
in a newspaper; when we give this
away there is no revenue producing
POWERS left. Follow us a little further
end we will show you why we cannot
publish resolutions free. We gladly
Publish a death notice of any person.
After such notice is published then
there can be no news in a death res
olution. Furthermore, DR.. w. 5.
Rankin tells us that there were 2SS
deaths in Henderson county last. year.
Each person. belonged to some church,
farmers union or fraternal organiza-
ton or such persons family did. Sup
pose we we're to encourage the free
publication of all the nice things va
rious committees could say about the
departed friend and suppose each or
ganization in any way touched by
these 28S deaths should request pub
lication in our f1fty-two issues per
year and we were to give it, requiring,
on an average, space for about six res
oIutions per week although only one
organization would request space,
when in fact there are several when
free publication is encouraged, it is
easy to see how little space would be
left for real news and advertising,
which we have to raise our rev.
enue.
For the foregoing reasons we cannot
afford to publish free resolutions but
as we have heretofore said, we will
publish them for half price, or three
cents a line, just enough to pay for
cost of composition.
We take this opportunity to again
the fact that we publish all
we can get suitable for publica-
hon and we can't see why it would not
be to the advantage of churches,
unions, and other organizations
to appoint publicity committees who

teresting events Of these institutions.

Though a-little belated in extend
sng the greetings OF the season to our
readers, we had a sufficient reason and
therefore extend best wishes and
thanks for the favors conferred upon
q. in a dual manner this week. This
issue Of the Democrat marks the be-
Cunning OF a new year with the paper
while last weeks number was the be-
ginning of a new calendar year.
While we reflect upon the good for
tunes of ourself and the city we have
much for which we should feel deeply
grateful.
The city has made many progressive
strides and inaugurated new meas
ures that will prove very beneficial to
the community. Among our new as
sets may be mentioned three educa-
tfonal institutions, a new social organ
lzation, four paved streets, Inaugural
ton of health work, etc.
AS to the Democrat, we have at all
times been in the midst of a wave Of
prosperity. The volume of business
done by this Office during the past year
by far exceeds that of any previous
year in it's history. The newspaper
and the mechanical department have
some warm and staunch friends who
have appreciated u efforts, but we
to know that there are a few
who do not appreciate what we are
doing in behalf of the community, and
others who have never tried the
business producing power of u ad-
yertfsing columns.
The Democrat enters upon a new
year with exceedingly bright prospects
fer itself and the community, and it
desires to thank it's patrons for their
support and trust that we all
may be visited by prosperity in
this year.

WHO WILL A IT9

eff Henderson County's assessment
of the Greater Western North Carolina
association is not paid by the Greater
Hendersonville club, will the Western
Carolina Democrat please explain, who
VIII pay it," inquiries the Jackson
County Journal.
While We cannot speak officially, we
think that the more liberal hearted
ard minded of the Greater Henderson
vile club will pay it. We regret to In
form the Journal that there are some
in the club who are opposed to afilia-
ton with the G.. w. N. C. A, and as
we are rejuvenating the club we did
not want to raise antagonism in the
ranks to begin with. If sentiment
ripens sufficiently that the club can
pay it with safety, then the club will do
it, otherwise the more liberal hearted
viii have to doNit. A few of us have
always done this work anyway.
Now with this statement of facts We
would like for the Journal to tell us il
this can be declared a Reputation of
our obligations and that if it -necessar-

footing the bills" will be provided.

The State treasurer's report shows
a balance of $4,000 on the credit side
%: the ledger. Two years ago there
was a deficit Of $125.O0O. due to the
large appropriations that had been
p'ade for permanent improvements by
the General Assembly of 1911. There
is no g~ainsaying the fact that North
Carolina is one of the beet governors
states in the union and under Demo-
cratic rule she will continue to 20
forward. Kickers and croakers may
rs well take a back seat, for the kick
er never makes progress any way.
There is no place for them in North
Carolina, with Governor Craig at the
helm; or any other Democrat, for that
matter.
The Legislature ought to pass an
adequate corrupt practice act, along
with the primary bill, an effective
chfld labor law, a Workman's compen-
s2tion measure and provide machinery
that will eaualize taxes and insure
sufficient revenue to meet the needs
Of a rapidly growing State. OF. course,
the opposition to every corrective
measure proposed will be on the spot
with a paid lobby and a tale. of woe. It
has always been so, But the time has
come for the exercise OF, courage and
oonvictions. Memberssofthe General
Assembly must assert their fndepen-
dence, if they would serve their own
constituencies and the State efficiently.

EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS j
V Hkia (COntrf6uted.J :;
COUNTING THE COST

The State 3, Democratic convention
last summer endorsed the principle Of
! Statewide primary applicable to all
political parties to be held on the, sam
day. in, making nominations for ma
tional, state and judicial officers, and
this will have theseffect OF bringing the
issue before the present session of the
General Assembly. Practically no op-
position has developed to the enact
trent of a law embodying the features
outlined in the Democratic platform
and the Legislature is reasonable GER
tain to pass an effective primary bill.
II is yet too early to venture an out
line of the salient features of the pro-
rosed law, but the question of 'bperar-
ing expenses" is most likely to be an
important item for consideration. The
printing and distribution of registra-
ton books would not be less than
$775; poll books $40; blanks for re-
turns $574.68; registrars for holding
the election, $4,000; judges for holding
election, $4,000; precinct baiiiffs
$4,000; members canvassing boards,
$4,000; registrars and judges service
on challenge day, $4,000; registration
of 243, 911 voters Oasis of vote cast
at election in 1879 at there cents per
.reme, $7,317.33; printing and distribut-
ips tickets, $1,000. Total, $34,227 OF.
This allows three election officers for
each of the 1900 voting precincts in
the State, with bailiff provided for at
general elections, and fixes the daily
compensation for their services at
5000. The entire list of poll-holders,
and other election officers employed in
a general election, may not be neces-
sery in conducting q primary. If not,
the expense would be less in proper
ton to number.
But the expenses are going to be
"a plenty" after all possible trimming
has been DONE. Either the taxpayers
of North Carolina, or those who shall
dance 10 the music will be required
to pay "the iddlers." Heretofore it
has not cost the voters of either party
a red cent to express their preference
of candidates for Office and whether
they shall hereafter be CURED to pay

The temperance people of the Unit

Congress by Representative Richmond
Pearson Hobson, Of Alabama, won a
notable victory recently when a major

provided for the submission of the
question of national prohibition to the
people. This was the initial effort
looking to the submission of the

strong sentiment for just that thing.

the first time in the history of the Re-
