Col. William Jennings Bryan,
in the last issue of the Common
err, sizes up the presidential
situation as follows: The con-
test of 1916 is on, and for four
months the parties will be busy
circulating literature and appeal
ing to voters. Our party has no
walk away; it will not be an
overwhelming victory, as in 1912,
but the prospects are improving.
The democratic record of achieve

publican candidate has no t

resignation he has lost ground.

can regain it in the speeches he

of which was to throw down the
gauntlet to the caste authorities, thus
weakening the power of the system
over public opinion.
But probably the most important
work being done in this direction is
for the education and uplift of the out
casts. In 1906 the Depressed Glasses
Mission Society" was founded, which
maintains schools boarding houses
and factories for the "untouchables'

teach them how to live decently, pro

good road from the country line
near Mr.. J. S. Rowe's place to
the intersection of the Aberdeen
and Okolona road near Mr.. L. L.
Bakers, a distance of five and a
half miles. We understand the
people along the line are willing
to grade the road and haul the
gravel, which is by far the
greater part Of the cost.
This road is badly needed and
our people should get move on
and see that the road is built.
The proposition will be putup to
the Board of Supervisors Of

meeting and our people should
make an effort to help these
people get the material for this

Probably no more cruel ana inhu-

mainly than the caste system of India.
There are in India more than 1900
OF these distinct social Glasses, OF
castles, each shut off from all others
by artificial and imposs bic barriers.
The class distinctions OF America, I'M
reasonable as they often are, are as
rothing compared to the iron clad

tolerant of each other, must not dine

DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION
S|DEL|GHTS

One OF the most interesting fea-
lures OF the recent Democratic con-
vention at st. Louis is the fact that it
took lovely woman to force the only
roll call demanded on the national
platform, as well as to inspire the
only real excitement that marked the
convention.
Votes for Women" was the issue
that stirred up things. The Mexican
plank, nailed in at the last minute by
the platform builders, did not create
ripple. "Americanism" and "pre-
paredness' received polite ovations,
but it remained for the woman suf-
frage plank to start a real fracas.
Headed by Gov. Ferguson of Texas,
the ants endeavored to wrench the
suffrage plank from the platform. But
President Wilson's feelings on the
subject, as presented to the conven-
ton by Senator Walsh of Montana,
were not to be ignored. And so, after
a three-hour battle in which the term
political expediency" was used with
telling effect, the ants were routed
by vote of SSS4 to 1917
The vote, however, does not tell the
real story of the battle, which was
one of the most vigorous and pic
turesque ever staged at a national
Democratic convention. Fifteen wom-
en- delegates fought from the floor on
the side of the nrO-Suffra gictS while
hundreds of their sisters waved yell
low remnants and cheered them on
from the balconies. A thunderstorm
that almost drowned out the voices
of the delegates as they answered the
battle and the convention to a most
melodramatic finish.

The South Has Come Back

For the first time in many a
day the Comptroller's report at
Washington shows that the
South's PERCENTAGE of increase
in bank deposits is the largest
in the whole country. The rapid
increase in the number of banks
in this section has been a source
of wonder in financial circles
throughout the whole country.
Not only is it in percentage of
gain, but the South is now way
ahead of rich New England in
the amount of demand and time
deposits. Evidence of tn is
growth can be seen right here in
our city. Only few years ago
this city had only one bank and
it did the business for quite a
territory. This same area now
supports three banks here, two
at Houston, one at Houlka, one
at Woodland, one at Vardaman,
one at Derma, one at Calhoun
City and one at Pittsboro, and all
are prosperous.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Congress
The Helping Word

Give the young and struggling
a word of encouragement when
you can. You would not leave
those plants in your window
boxes without water nor refuse
to open the shutters that the
sunlight might fall upon them;
but you would leave some human
flower to suffer from want of
appreciation or the sunlight of
encouragement. There are a
few hardy souls that can strug-
gle along on stony soil scrubs
that can wait for the dews and
sunbeams, vines that climb with
out kindly training; but only a
few utter the kind word when
you see that it is deserved. The
thought that no one cares and no
one knows, blights many a bud
of promise. Be it the young
artist at the easel, the young
preacher in his pulpit, the work
man at his bench, the boy at his
mathematical problems, or your
little girl at the piano, give what
praise you can. Exchange.
