Out of the turmoil of politics, a:- wuys unpleasant and frequently ugly, there come occasionally results that reconcile the most critical to the in- stitution as a whole, and such an one is the nomination of Gov. Park Tram- el People who do not fully agree with al] his public policies, and oth- ers who opposed him or preflerred !cthers for personal reasons, all know, realize and will concede that tne tremendous vote cast for him came straight and solely from the Lelief and confidence of the people in the man. Park Trammell spen: little money, perhaps as little as any kind of sensible campaign covering a areat State could stand for; and he wade no warfare upon his oppo- rents, He campaigned simply as Park Trammell, who had been hon- oed with other important public of- tices, and who had done his best to serve the people well in them all, wad who promised it elected to do ii1s best as governor of his State, And that was sufficient. The peo- )le knew just where they were at all the time. Such a verdict sets at naught the complaint that the people do not express themselves intelligently in 'R. B.

It is largely due to such rot as this that farmers are induced to leave the free, independent and pleasant life of the farm for the pre- carious and grueling occupations of the city. The farmers love to think they are down-trodden, the victims of combines and conspiracies upon the part of the city dwellers, who live in ease and enjoy the fruits of the farm workers' toil, There was never a greater misconception. Where the Marmer is sensible enough not to let such utter rot percolate into his system and to avail himself of aver- 8ge¢ common sense and business methods, there is no occupation to- day that affords more liberal com- Pensation, coupled with more gen- uine pleasure in life.

The millionaire fully recip- rocates this affection. 1t is said he has urged his mother to take this |course. Secondarily, it is the desire ;ol the former wife of the late Col.

But, it is conceded, that the woman of the two who wins the personal support of Vincent Astor will be socially rec- ognized as the Mrs. Astor, prior to Vincent's marriage. Concerning the reporte of a con- templated immediate marriage by Vincent Astor, a close friend of the Young man said: “I am sure that Mr. Astor does not intend to be married in the imme- diate future. That he would at- tempt to do this before reaching his majority, next November, is consid- ered unlikely.” ——e— A carload of potatoes from the Sanford district were sold one day last week for $1,191.50.
