HON. f. M. CARTER STILL
HAS HIS SINGLE OUT

AS you pass East on N. Lib
erty street you will observe. on
the North side of the street a
shingle protruding over sthe
sidewalk, which reads, ST. M.
Carter, Lawyer and Notary
Public" Well, this is where a
disciple of the old school holds
forth, soliciting portion of the
legal and notarial patronage OF
the inhabitants.
In 1869, shortly after the
close of that bloody struggle,
the Civil War, Mr.. Carter, then
a comparatively young man, be-
gan the practice of the law as a
profession, and ever since then
has maintained a law Office either
in this or an adjoining county.
His experience has been wide
and varied, some times having
as his client the weak and poor ;
again the strong and rich cor
poration. He has been a Dem
ocrat all his life; has held re-
sponsible official positions, and
has invariably looked after the
best interests of the state and
his constituency as he construed
those interests.
He has reached a ripe old age
and is hale and hearty for a man
of his years. He has been a man
of great physical power bodily
and wonderful intellect and has
fairly well retained these fac
ulties. When we stop to con-
slider that time with it's disinte-
grating factors work heavily
upon the intellect and soon leaves
traces on the mind of him, who
possesses not the stern and iron
qualities necessary to endure
the wear and tear of 3 or a score
of years, it can be said that Mr..
Carter must have been an intel
lectual giant in his maturity.

Hon. .Philander C. Knox deliv-
cred an address at the Labor
Day celebration of the United
States League of Western Penn
Isylvania in Schenley Park where
in he held that Labor unions
have become a necessity so that
the employee may be on an equal
plane with the great combina-
tons of wealth organized in re-
cent years. He cautions Labor
against him who would affiliate
with the Union for his own self
ish gains. He asserted that ty-
ranny and injustice toward La
Dor are dying out with the prog
ress of civilization. That these
unions are growing to be APP
proved and are a permanent fac
tor in commercial life that must
shortly be dealt with. The
workers when en- masse hold an
unconquerable power which can
be welded for veal or woe ac-
cording to it's right or wrong di-
rection and in this connection
admonishes the workers to ex-
ercise care in organization and
in the discharge of their normal
functions, in order to avoid the
many pitfalls which intersperse
their road to success.

The Hayti Herald changed
hands last week, Mr.. Otis Pop
ham having bought out Mr.. VIM
York, who has been editor and
owner for seven years and has
the unique distinction of having
made the paper a striking sue
cess, it always having a liberal
amount of advertising, and that
without solicitation, so Mr.. York
states. The people in Hayti ev-
identity value local advertising
in the newspaper for what it is
worth. We hope his successor
will meet with great success
and further cultivate a knowl-
edge of the value of space in a
local publication.

Many of the prominent citi-
zens and officials of this State
are favoring the holding of a
Constitutional Convention to re-
wise the Constitution of Nilsson
ri. 1t is quite true that our Con-
stitution in parts is antiquated,
being practically obsolete, as to
twentieth century relations, in
many of its clauses and sections.
Hon. j. M. Atkinson has come
out in a published interview
wherein he strongly urges a
new, up-to-date twentieth-cen-
fury Constitution. Many other
lawyers, citizens and officials fa-
vOr a general revision.

We believe that the Democrat
ic party, National, State, Dis
trict and County, can and will be
successful at the general cleo
ton in 1916; provided, only, that
sane political judgment is used
in selecting candidates for the
August, 1916, primary. We are
certain that President Wilson
should and will be re-nominated
without opposition, and will be
reelected by a record-breaking
majority; and President Wilson
will carry with him a Democrat
ic congressional majority.
We believe that Congressman
w. l.. Hensley should be re-nom-
mated without opposition; and
whether he has opposition or not,
we believe he will carry every
one of the eleven counties of this
Congressional District at the
primary election, and will be re-
elected by a pronounced increas-
ed majority at the general cleo
ton. If Mr.. Hensley cannot be
reelected, then no other Demo-
crat in this district can be elect
ed; and the only effect that will
follow, should he be opposed at
the primary, is that such a cam
paign will endanger the success
of every local Democratic county
ticket throughout the district,
and that, too, without effecting
Mr.. Hensley's defeat at either
the primary or the general cleo
ton.
AS we see it, there should be
a "get-to-gether" spirit cultivat-
ed among Democrats, and even
though it be at first "a little
leven," it will permeate the.
whole party and cause the en-
tire Democratic ticket to be sue
cessful.
We are first, last and only for
the denomination of Hon. W.
L. Hensley, and candidly advise
all who are contemplating oppos-|
ing him to stay out of the con-
test, for he. will be re-nominated
and reelected.
