The coming here of the reuowned Sun Brothers’ GreatShows and Colossal Txt,’ jed Animal Exposition Mon day. Sept. 23, will be awaited with much interest. This excellent and mammoth show will arrive over the Southern railroad at an early hour. It will possibly reach here about six o’clock. It is an eaBy run to make, as the dirtance is on ly a few miles. The sLiiW o w ls its own .special traiu of magnificent sixty foot cars, including stable cars, flats, baggage and animal carB and Pullman sleeping coaches, all of these being elegentiy furnished and equipped with the veiy newest appliances, air brakes, and all oi the latest edicts of tne M. 0. B. The traiu is ceriamly a beautiful sight, and is worth your time to be at the depot yards when the show train strikes town. It goes witnout saying, that all young America of town and a few of their elders will be there iu force t:> greet the showmen and the ex- pectantelephant. After the cars are '‘spotted,’’ the firet thing that will come off the train will be the huge iron skids, these aie inclines for the wagons to run from the train. Ihe first wagon to come down will be the cook house, or comtnis sary wagon; which will at once be rushed to Ihe 3how grounds. Then in rapid succession will come the canvas, stake and chain, big poles, seats, illuminating, property and animal vehicles. The last thing to leave the cars will be the .ele phants, camels, dromedaries and 6aered cattle, these all being led to the show grounds. The horses, mules and ponies Carriedv by the show are all hrst-class lookers, and are recognized by all the leading showmen of the United States as among the best in the show busi ness. The Sun Brothers have an established reputation of carrying the finest horses in the show pro fession. The horseB and all of the stock can be seen free of charge by the public in the commodious sta ble tents erected on the show grouuds, and it is a veritable free hors« fair. The Sun Brothers’ Shows will give two complete and uncurtailed performances at 2 and 8 o’clock p. in.- The show is r& plete with all new is tar acts, this season, and includes a category of European and American celebrit ies. The wild beast and zoologic department is greatly augmented this year and is worth seeing and an all-embracing object lesson. The Doings of a Dollar. On thefirstdayofthemonth a one dollar bill started on its journ ey when Mr. Smith promptly paid' Mr. Brown.what he was due him. Brown paid the dollar immediate ly to George Green, who in turn- paid it to William Hart. who. was owing Johu White the same a- mount and paBsed the dollar on. Here we lost sight of that busy dollar of good money just as it went into the pocket of William Grip. It had now discharged Ave dollars of indebtedness and could have just as easily gone on itBhap- py mission.till fifty creditors would have been smiling, but William Gripheld onto the dollar, not withstanding he owed that amount to John Goodsoul, his next door neighbor, who, in the cold days of December hod loaned him the a mount to get him a load of wood that bis family might not suffer. William Grip decided to hold on to the dollar as he said he “lowed it might be a good long spell” be tore he got hold of another. So that dollar was retired from the happy mission doing its part as a portion of the circulating medium, and the machinery iu the great system of commerce depeudent up on it stood still. This is a fable, intended to Bhow how the wheels of business are made to stand still and the happi ness and-prosperity of the whole country blighted by worthless fel lows who will not pay a debt when thej could do so. Our whole sys tem of credit is very much of a de lusion and a snare. Everybody would be happier if all would pay as they go, and it isa crime against society to pocket and hold on to a dollar which we owe to another. —Exchange. The Statesville Landmark says.* “Clint N. Brown, who wrestled with the newspaper business in Salisbury a. long time, has moved to his farm near this c.ty, on which he has built a bungalow* and will watch the grass and vegetables and corn and things grow, hear the cowB low, the chickens crow, the while he revels in bucolic existence He doesn’t need to give a hang whether the paper ever gets out, or whether the things in it when it does come out- are right or wrong provoke commendation or cussing. Nor does he need to lose sleep over the state of the cash box on Satur days, so long as there is sunshine and rain and seed time and harvest which the Good God has said shall not fail. Happy Brown!

The Colonel Will Go After Son-in- Law Nick. Washington Dispatch. Washington politicians are pre dicting that Congressman Long- worth will be one of the hardest worked men in the campaign this year, because bis situation is un usually peculiar. Colonel Boosevelt who is the father in-law of Repre sentative Lougworth, intends to fight-bis son~in law, caring nothing, about-the embarassinent of a mem ber of the family, by offering him opposition in'his own district. Mr. Longworth will remain upon the ticket for-re-election in hiB district and make a fight against all comers It is understood that he: was oent as minister plenipotentiary to the colonel asking him to keep out of the congressional fight in Ohio, but Col. Koosevelt was unmoved by the plea, declaring that to maintain consistent national ticket it would also be necessary to pu t local orga uizations inzthe^ field.

Blood Was Wrong _ AU women, who suffer from the aches and pains, due to female ailments, are urged to try Cardui, the reliable,' scientific, tonic remedy,, for women. Cardui acts promptly, yet gently, and without bad effects, on the womanly system, relieving pain, building up strength, regulating the system, and toning up the nerves. During the past half century, thousands of ladies have written to tell of the quick curative results they obtained, from the use of this well-known msdicine. TAKE Tha Mrs. Jane CaUehan suffered from womanly trouble for nearly ten years. In a letter from Whiteville, N. C., she says: “ I was not able to do my own housework. My stomach was weak, and my blood was wrong. I had back ache, and was veiy weak. I tried several doctors, but they did me no good. I used Cardui for 3 er 4 months, and now I am in the best health I have ever been. I can-never praise Cardui enough.” It is the best tonic, for women.

FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: JAMES SCHOOLCRAFT SHERMAN Davie county is afflicted with a few Officers who haven’t grit and backbone enough to flag down an ox-cart. _________ - If you have any idea of running for an office this year on the Repub lican county tieket, it is time you would let the people know it throu the columns of The Record, the on ly Republican paper in the county. The Record has been and will con tinue to publish tickets suggested by various Republicans throughout the county. Our columns are open to any one who has a suggestion to make, whether we agree with the views expressed by the writer or not. The Record belongs to all the people. The Republican State Contention meets in Charlotte today. It is to be hoped that all of the boys will keep cool, and it would be well to remember that North Carolina has never given a Republican president an electoral vote. A strong State ticket should be put in the field- one that will commend the respect of all good men of all parties in the State. With such a ticket it is pos sible to redeem North Carolina from the pie-hunting brigade. THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION. The 29th Senatorial Convention will be held at Yadkinville some time this month. This district is com posed of Davie, Yadkin and Wilkes, and gives a Republican majority of about 3,000. Not since the district has been made up of those counties, has Davie been given the privilege of naming the Senator. We would be glad to see Davie give Mr. E. F. Morris the endorsement for this po sition and sent delegates to the con vention who would work for his nomination. Mr. Morris is a good roads man, and would do all in his power, not only for Davie, but the two other counties in the district if nominated and elected. We believe in a fair deal, and if the other coun ties believe in such, we see no reas on why our man should not receive the nomination. We have been helping Yadkin and Wilkes elect their men for the past twenty years, and it is up to them to come over aid help us this time. We believe they will endorse our man this time. Let every delegate to the Senator ial convention go to Yadkinville fully determined to do all in their power to give the nomination to our towns man and fellow-citizen, E. H. Mor ris, who would represent this dis trict with credit to himself and to the Republican party. Tipket Endorsed. Mr. Editor:—I want to endorse the following ticket, which appeared in your issue of last week: ' Representative—E. H. Morris. Sheriff—J. L. Sheek. Register—J. F. Moore Treasurer—J. W. Etchison. County Commissioners—C, G. Bai- Ieytl E. E. Vogler, C. A. Hartman. The above ticket■,strikes me just r'urfit, and I believe the Republicans of Davie county would elect every man on it by at least 350 majority. In my opinion it is foolish to run men for office who do not stand any chance of being elected, simply be cause somebody sets up a howl that they are entitled to the office. If a man is entitled to an office and is not able to be elected, what good can the party accomplish by-running him. As a life-long Republican, I would be glad tp see the above tick et nominated and elected: ; Clarksville R epublican ’ The Horn-Johiistone Milling Co. • The Hom-Johnstone Milling Com pany, of this city, which shut down to undergo extensive repairs on the IOth of last May, resumed, opera tions on Aug. 23rd. It was the edi tor’s privilege to visit this mill one day last week and take a look throu the building from "cellar to garret.” The building is four stories high, and is equipped with the latest and most Improved machinery, which was installed by the Nordyke & Mor- man Co., of Indianapolis. In addit ion to the new machinery, a big ele vator with a capacity of 12,000 bush els of wheat, has been erected ad joining the east end of the mill. The total cost of the improvements a- mountsto about $7,000. This mill employs five laborers and runs on full time, with a daily grinding ca pacity of 125 barrels. This mill puts out four brands of flour. The best is “Mocksville’s Best,” a full patent fbur, which makes mighty fine bread and excellent cakes. Another good brand is “Stove Buster,” and then comes “Stars and Stripes.” This is a new brand, and has not yet been placed on the home market. “Ice Cream” is the cheapest grade flour put out by this mill, but it has a big sale throughout this section, and is a good straight flour. The mill has created an extensive trade throughout the southern part of the Stateandin South Carolina. This mill was established in 1893 by L. G. and G. E. Horn, with a capacity of 30 barrels per day. Later on, the firm name was changed to Horn Brothers and Johnstone, and run for sometime. About five' years ago G. E. Horn sold his interest to the other partners. The business has bjen growing and prospering for the past nineteen years, until today it is one of the best and most up-to- date mills in all this section, A 100- horsepower Corliss engine is used to run the mill. We came near forget ting to mention that this mill turns out a good grade of meal, and their output of ship stuff is large. Mr. Horn tells us that he buys between fifteen and twenty-five thousand bushels of Davie county wqeat each year, the balance being Virginiaand Maryland wheat, which is superior to the middle western wheat. It will be well worth your time and trouble to take a look .,through this modern mill. Mr. Horn will be glad to show you the machinery and Anotber Ticket Suggested. Mr. Editor:—Please allow me space in The Record to suggest ;the following ticket which: I am sure would be a winner, subject -to the will of the Republican county con vention: ' R epresentative—J . F . M oore. Sheriff—J. H. Sprinkle. Register—G H. Graham. Treasurer—Tom Sheets. County Commissioners—B. R. Bail - ey, J. L. Sheek, P. PrGreen. I believe the Republicans of Davie county will make no mistake in nom inating the above named men to fill the offices. The people are getting tired of voting for the'sathe set of men all the time. They are anxious for a change. I don’t believe they will vote for the old ticket. :_______AVOTER. Epbesus Items. Mr. 'H. F.

She will not be a candidate for re- election next spring, and when she goes out of office she intends toBtay' oat. Mrs. Wilson’s career as mayor has been a stormy one. The city couucil, which is composed of men, fried tp beat her out of the office when she was elected, but subse quently gave up the fight. They never have permitted her to carry out any of her municipal govern ment that they could prevent, and there has been an almost contin nous squabble. Sinceshe carried the fight to the State Supreme Court and beat the men couneilmen theie things have gone along a little bet ter. When she made her announce ment that she would not seek re election, Mrs. Wilson was asked, after her experience in official life, if she would advise other women to try for office. “Yes,” she said, “if they have nerve enough to go through with it.” . Despite the trouble Mrs. Wilson has had with the couneilmen im partial observers say that Hunne well has never been so well govern ed as it has been under Mis. Wil- Bon. Shehaskeptthe town clean morally and physically. Mother of Eighteen Children. "I am the mother of eighteen children and have the praise of doing more work than any young woman In my town.” writes Mrs. C. J. Martin, Boone Mill, Va1 “I suffered for five years with stomach trouble and could not eat as much as a biscuit without" suffering. I have taken three bottles of Chamberlain’s Tablets and am now a well woman and weigh" 168 pounds. I can eat anything I want to and as much as I want and feel bet ter than I have at any time in ten years. I refer to anyone in Boone Mill or vicin ity and they will vouch for what I say.” Chamberlain’s Tablets are for sale by all dealers.

Sweet Charity. Has it ever occurred to you that the more money a man has the more difficult it is for him to be cbaritablel When one is poor and has only a few cents it is an easy matter to divide the money with some poor devil who has none. Uncle Ezra Says "It don’t take more’n a gill uv effort to git folks into a peck of trouble,” and a little hegiect of constipation, biliousness, indigestion or other liver derangement will do the same. If ailing, take Dr King’s New Life Pills for quick results. Easy, safe, sure, and only 25 cents at all druggists. Thou shalt have no other Leader but Me.—T. Roosevelt. Caught a Bad Cold. “Last winter my son caught a very bad cold and the way he coughed was some thing dreadful,” writes Mrs. Sarah E. Duncan.ofTipton.

Only 50 cents at all druggists. Facts are Stubboro Things. The time to draw the line between the Republicansand the Progressives is now. Mr, Roosevelt has. left the Republican party. He says this nirnself. Nobody who supports him in the campaign can rightfully call himself a Republican. The principal fight which- the Progressives will make will be against the Republican ticket. Wilson wiltbe handled far more tenderly by the bolters than Taft will be. This program has ^al ready been clearly mapped out. The chief aim of the third party men1 is to defeat the Republican ticket. Noj reasonable person supposes that; there is anv chance to elect Roose velt. At this late hour it will beim- possible to form an organization of the Progressives in all the States. The laws of some of the States will prevent the placing of a regularly recognized ticket for the new party In the field early enough to figure in the canvass this year. The election takes place three months hence, and the only serious rivals for the Presi dency at that time will be Taft and Wilson. It is not a question of men but policies. Presideht Iaft repre; sents the Republican party, Govl Wilson the Democratic party and Col. Roosevelt the new Third Party. Each is a distinct organization in it^ self. It cannot be figured out any other way.—Union Republican. Diarrhoea Quickly Cured. "I was taken with diarrhoea and Mr. Yorks, the merchant here, persuaded me to try a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. After taking one dose of it I was cured. It al so cured othors that I gave it to,'" .- writes M. E. Gebhart, Oriole, Pa. That is not at all unusual. An ordinary attack of diarrhoea can almost invariably be cnred .by one or two doses of this remedy. For sale by all dealers. To Mark Negleded Craves of Three Governors. NewBerneDispatch. ■ - Two and a half miles from New Berne, on the opposite banks of Trent river, are the tombs of three Governors of the State of North Oarolinar—Governor Abner Nash, Governor Richard Dobbs Spaight and Governor Richard D ob b s Spaigbt, his son. Although these three men were famous in their day and generation . their tombs are perishing in decay and the spot is noft almost bidden by weeds and grasses. Craven county bas but few monuments, to herTamons eons and recently it has been suggested that a public subscription be taken tbis spot put in good condition and a monument erected to the memory o( the three men. The 6pot is an historic one. It is spoken of in several histories ol the State - and strangers visiting here often ask to be shown to it, and when told that it is but seldom visited and: is not easily accessible, seem to be incre dulous. It the movement is’ taken up and pushed forward there is not the least doubt but that alter all the years past since the bodies of these statesmen were interred their last res ing places will be marked by a shaft which.will do credit to their memories. Many Driven From Home. Every year, in many parts of the coun try. thousands are driven from their homes by coughs and lung diseases. Friends and business are left behind for other clim ates, but this is costly and not always sure. A better way—the way of multi tudes—is to use Dr. King’s New Discov ery and cure yourself at home. Stay right there, with your friends, and take this safe medicide. Throat and lung troubles find quick relief and health re turns, Its help in coughs, colds, grip, croup, whooping cough and sore lungs . make it a positive blessing. 50c. and $1. Trial bottle free.

DEAFNESS CANNOl BE CURED . by local applications, as theycan not reach the diseased portion ol the ear. There is only one vay to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafiiess is caused by an inflamed condition o'f the mucous Iining of the Eustachian Tube; When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, Uud when it is en tirely closed. Deafness is the result- and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine ca ses out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothin but an . inflamed Condition of the mucous surfaces, We will give one hundred dol lara for any case of Deafness (caus ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure, Send for circulars, free. _ .

New York ,city is the biggest city in the world,, not because it has the most people but because it does, the biggest things. Kew York hag only a paltry 5, 000,000 people, including million aires not taxed, while London has 8,000,000 who live near enough to it to be annoyed by motor omni- busses. But New York makes Lon don look like a collection of Dutch ovena. New York contains the tallest buildings in the world, the greatest bridges in the world, the greatest commerce, the most terri fic hotels, the londevt subway, the greatestrfinancers, and most prince ly grafters on this plauet or any so far as known. New York, in fact, is so big *hat many a small man has swelled up until he bursts while trying to fill it. New York was founded on Manhattan Island almost 300 years ago, but has now spread out over the country like a heavy rash until flat buildings are being built as far as the third satelliteof Jubiter. The city takeB thi raw immigrants from Europe and works them up into census steCistics and garment work ers at the rate of 200,000. a year. It also takes young geniuses of all kinds from t.he West and dooms to a life of poverty at $15,000 a year on tbe 19th floor of an apartment house. It leads the nation in fin ance, commerce, manufacturers, skyscrapers, reactionaries, drama dress suits, hotel prices, automo biles <*nd jfress agents. One reason why New.York has become so fa mous is the fact that her writeis would rather advertise her free of charge than get $1,000 a _ week for exploring Chicago and other sec tions of the wild interior. New York is famous for its $15, 000.000 private residences and also for its skill in stuffing 5,000 people into a single block on the East Side It has produced Theodore Roose velt-, J. P. Morgan and George Mj Cohan, but only worships the last two. It is the richest city in the world, and doesn’t give a whoop who knows it. It is connected with the rest of the nation by sis tun nels and a few congressmen and with Europe by 20 steamship lines and 150 fathers in-law of titles. The most “celebrated sights in New York are Wall street, Broad way, the 50-story office building, Central park, the East Rivbr bridge the Statute of Liberty, the Pensy'- vania station, Chinatown, the Hun garian restaurants, ^he Jewish quarter, little Italy, the Irish con sulate at the city ball, theYiennese operas, the-English clotes on Fifth avenue, the old Dutch aristocracy, the .African prize fighters, the Turkish baths, aud an American alderman on'fiong Island. One could easily spell a month seeing:sights in New York, but.ow ing to the f a r greater ease with which one caih spend everything else he has, most people come home at the end of a week in the day coach, As Good Nowas Then. When the . Republican national convention was. held at Chicago, Colonel Roosevelt was an avowed Republican seeking the domination at the hands of his party for Presi dent of the United States. Achange of 10 per cent, in the vote of that convention would have made him the nominee. But he was not no minated and we find him now de nouncing the Republican party, declaring it “a mere husk, with no soul in it,” unfit to be trusted with the ad mi nstration of. governmental affairs. He declares that he has broken with the Republican- party for g<5cd, and he is doing every thing which lies in him to disrupt that party, to bring it down to def jat. | and to put into office and in control | of all departments of government ! the. Democratic party. Neither, Roosevelt nor any one of the intel- T he D avie R ecord, n ev er fails to a p p e a r on tim e.

The Solei purpose of his movement is to defeat the Republican party in the present campaign. Yet had a hand ful Of the members of the Chicago convention been bought or persuad ed to vote for Roosevelt, in viola tion; of their instructions, Roosevelt would have remained a Republican he would have found nothing in the attitude of the Republican party that U was when he solicited it to accept him as its nominee. The The party has not changed but Col Roosevelt has and by so doing has forsaken and vilifies and abuses the very agency that has won him dis- tinction and fame and all because, by a close shave, he failed to re ceive the nomination of President at Chicago. Can we uot call it in'- gratitude? , What other expression would more properly suit the case! —Union Republican. to criticise; he would be appealing , - to tb© American people to eoD tinuej ^ Enainored of Nswspapct Sub* the Republican party in power; he would have been pointing to the dangers of gi vi ng the Democrats a- gain! control of the government.

This 2nd day ol September, 1912. C. G. BAILEY, Cfcm. Rep Ex. Com. Davie Co. J. I-’. MOORE, Secretary. Politics is w arm ing up to.som e ex te n t in this section. We would respectfully suggest lh a t the ancient tow n of C harlotte build a few hotels before the next S tate convention m eets there. This thing of w alking the streets all night fo r lack of a bed is som ething fierce. President T aft will not go on the slum p this fall. Teddy and W ood row will doubtless do enough talk ing for all three, and disgust the idtelligent voter, who has sense e- nough to vote w ithout being told by offiee-hunters. The next tim e a little tw o-by-four just-because-his-daddy-w as Demo c rat yells nigger a t you, gently re m ind him th at the negro Jack John son stum ped New Y ork S tate two years ago fo r the D em ocratic ticket, and dare him to deny it. M ost Republicans will vote for T aft, while a few will vote for Ted "dy, b u t none will vote fo r Wilson T herefore W ilson doesn’t stand any chance of being President, fo r there are not enough D em ocrats in the country to elect-him . The D urham H erald announced in a. recent issue th a t it would not sup p o rt C raig fo r Governor if another w hite m an was in the race, and the Statesville L andm ark has read The H erald ou t of the D em ocratic party W e knew The H erald would g et in- to trouble. , - W e rem arked som e tw o years ago th a t our tow n w ould never grow- very m uch until w e had a few first- class funerals. T hat prediction has proven tru e. A tow n cannot .grow while the m en who ought to be push ing are busy pulling backw ard, few public-spirited, progressive njen • are needed to arouse the sleepers ha our tow n. I t takes push and energy to m ake a town grow . The m erchant and business man who will no t advertise in his county •paper, doesn’t deserve the patron a g e of th e good people of the coun ty . T here is no other agency th a t does half las m uch for a tow n and county as does the new spaper, w orks every week m the year - help every laudible enterprise, and never ceases to invite th e stranger w ithin our gates. It m ourns w ith fcl.03e who m ourn, and reloices with those who rejoice. Ith e lp s you in m any ways, and m re tu rn every m erchant, law yer, doctor, hotel -shop, m ill and factory in the county should help the new spaper and them selves by using space to let the pec- . pie know you w ant their patronage The Record talks to seventv-five hundred people every week.

Recently it has been definitly proven by experiments on animals that alcohol lowers the germicidal power of the body and that alcohol paralyzes the white cor puscles of the blood ahd renders them unable to take up and destroy disease germs* Disease germs cause the.death of oyer one-hall of the human race. A blood medicine, made entirely, without alcohol, which is. a pure glyceric ex tract of roots, such as Bloodroot, Queen's foot, Golden Seal root, Mandrake and .Stone root, has been extensively sold by druggists for the past forty years as Dr* Pierce’s Golden Medical D iscovery.: The refreshing influence of this extract is Hke Nature’s influence—the blood is bathed in the tonic which gives life to the blood— the vital fires of-the body burn brighter and their increased activity consumes the tissue rubbish which has accumulated during the winter.

WALLACE & SONS,■ef Salisbury; N. C. 1 Armageddon. -■ A great many bibles have been removed from top shelves in the last few days, dusted carefully and consulted. Mr. Eoosevelt is re sponsible for this rush to look into the greatest English classic. When lie said- "We stand at Armaged don and we battle for the Lord,” some o f his eohor's exclaimed “ Where in thunder is Armaged don?” They found refereoce to this place in Revelations XVI:16- 18, where it says “And he gather ed them together in a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air, and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven from the throne, sayiwg it is done. And there were voices, and thunders and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as were not since men were upon the earta, so-mighty an earthquake and so great.” . The Enclycopedia Brittenica says that from the ap plication of the word Armageddon to the end of time comes the use of the phrase, "an Armageddon,” to express any great slaughter or con flict. Mr. Roosevelt expects a con llict, and his is the great voice, not out of the temple of heaven, but out of the Colisentn of Chicago — Utica Press.

It is related that ‘a pretty girl who does newspaper work wrote this: “The greatest surprise te a girl who gets kissed for the first time is; that, there is no taste to-it.” How she- lound that out is not re lated and it may be bad form to inquire. However, an old bache lor who has read her unsupported statement, .roars back in this fash ion: No taste to it? By the great hen leather in Cupid’s dart, that girl must be color blind in the plate! Th ey tell us, those who have tried Lt we have not that it tastes like double distilled essence of honey spread on pumpkin pie. Away back in the dim and joyful years long ago, before we lost our teetb- and our cinch on the beautiful prize the prettiest girl in all the world told us it felt like a covey of fright ened quail flying out of each ear and ended up with a sensation sim ilar to that which might be produc ed by a golden stream of molasses down one’s back. - . - ■ - No taste to-a first kiss?

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 18. 1912 NUMBER 11 Unde Tobey’s Lecture on the Sum mer Picnic. Home and Farm. The summer picnic is a very old invention; no one knows how old. If there was ever any patent taken out on it. there is no record left of it. It is one of the things Uiat has been handed down to us just as it was thousands of years ago. There has been no improvement on it. It is the same old thing; no better or no worse. I said there was no improvement. Perhaps th at statement is a little too rash. There has been some changes in the way of amusements. In the old times there were not so many fakirs as there are now. nor so many kinds of amusements. But the change has been more in quantity than in quality. The picnic is still a social gather ing, We go there to enjoy ourselves. W e le tg o o fth e serious things of life, jump in th e “shoot the chute” boat and yell, "L e t ;’er go, Galla gher!” Wederivea great deal of pleasure in thinking about the pic nic before the day comes for it, thinking of the good time we will have when the time does come.. Sometimes we get more pleasure out of it in this way than we do at the picnic. The young people go to the picnic to have a good time, and the older ones try to convince them* selves that they go to rest. Why they think this about it I can't tell, as there is not a case on record where anybody ever rested at a pienic. It is harder work to go to a picnic and sit and stand around all day than it is to plow new ground with a raw team of oxen.. But it makes no dif ference how tired we get—we are ready to go to another in a week, In selecting the grounds for a picnic, ifte committee should see that it is located within at least 100 yards of a yellowjacket’s nest. No picnic was ever a complete suc cess unless it was within convenient distance of one of these rests. The committee should also see to it that those who sell lemonade, pain ed candies, rubber balls, balloons, canes and other worthless trinkets should be sufficiently taxed for the privilege of swindling the innocents who have more dimes and nickels than gump tion. You can buy more of nothing at a summer picnic thaii any other place except, at a bargain store. The committee is perfectly justifiable in robbing the fakirs who seek for pri vileges to thus impose upon the in nocent public. Such useful amuse ments as the merry go-round and the game of throwing three ball? at a "nigger’s” head for a nickle should be taxed reasonably. Innocent amusements should be encouraged, for they promote mar riages and marriages perpetuate the race Picnics afford splendid oppor tunities for courtship. Thatis why they are so popular With the young People. The speaking at a picnic is a very interesting feature—when you don’t have to listen to it. For those who do prefer to listen to the speeeh- 68, soft boards should be supplied for them to sit on! A speakers’ stand warranted to fall down some time during the program, should also be erected. These can be paid for out of the moyey extorted from the fakirs. If there is no spring «r creek' nearby, Rreat care should be taken that the water supply gives out about noon. Thishelps thefellowswho are seli- lnR so called lemonade. The speaking should be conducted ffl an orderly’ manner and not allow- to intefere with the other amuse ments. The poorest speakers should e allowed to speak first while the eudience is fresh. If at any time e audience seems to be growirg 'red. the speaking should be stopped aUd the brass band ordered to play. . there is no brass band, then the ^diencfeahould adjourn andgo over g ^ e ^ucing floir and listen to the tV^f' speakers should be given efullest opportunity to exhibit eir crankiness even if it is a little urd on the audience. the picnic is held on the Fourth • uly, the Declaration of'Indepen- ence should be read by the young an who is studying law . and who ■ ®ars his hair parted in the middle „ *oud necktie. and its spirit has fled to the “moun tains of Hepsidam.” but it ought to be read for old times’ sake. ,- Before reading, however it should be care fully" explained to the audience that it is not a political platform. This year the candidates are trying to break up the picnics by perpetrat ing, tariff speeches upon the helpless people. ■ There ought to be a law prohibiting the making of tariff speeches at a summer picnic, A man who will deliberately, premediated- Iy and maliciously persist in making a tariff speech at a summer picnic ought to be arrested and imprisoned for disturbing the peace. No man who shows symptoms of tariff mania should be permitted to run at large. To make a picnic ahowling success there should be a good drenching rain at seventeen minutes past 3 o’clock in the afternoon. This gives plenty of time for everybody to get full of chicken, pies and cakes, with the shortening, in the long way, of doughnuts, dumplings, cold biscuits, poison candy, rotton peanuts and pink lemonade. Each person will have by this time accumulated his or her share of ticks and chiggers, which are usually an adjunct to a summer picnic. A rain at this time also helps to Iiead off the chronic spouter who persists in bor ing the audinnce with his blather and who has, up to this time, been held back by main force until the other speakers have exploded their eloquence. "A rain just at dinner time is very inopportune. I think the meanest trick I ever knew the weather man to be ^guilty of was to let it rain on a dinner just as it had been placed on a long table which had been prepared for that purpose. It was when I was a boy, and there was an immense crowd at the picnic I don’t think I ever saw so much heroism at onetime. Nearly everybody stuck to'th'e dinhfeff*'* It was one of these gully-washing rains and lasted for a half hour. Everybody was soaked to. the skin. Their clothes stuck to them “closer than a brother.” Inever knew till then, how many funny-shaped people there are in the-world. I learned more about the anatomy of the hu man body than I ever knew before. But everybody enjoyed it, and eve rybody laughed at •" everybody else. Even ehe dogs got soaking wet and looked lank and lean and hungry, al though they had just enjoyed the greatest feast of their lives, for most of the soaked victuals.that was left was thrown away. Endless Cbain For Taft.

Miss Board man. national direc- tor of the American' Bed Gross and a close friend o.f Mr. Taft is to man age the “endless chain” letter scheme as an individual and not a s a Bed Cross official. Miss Boardtnan recently^refused to ap actively as a Taft booster, because of her connection with the Bed Cross. She stated that Bhe did not wish to compromise that society by taking an active part in partisan politics. While claims and counter claims are in the air, it is just as well to remember that it takes 266 electo ral vote-i to elect a president this year.

So long as we continue this practice, just so long will we lag behind and amount to but very fittle, What we need is factories to work up our raw- mar terial, and thus put a stop to thil heavy drain on our county. Thb matter rests with our monied men. They can do much toward building up our town and their own interests at the sanie time. Every load of raw lumber that leaves our town means a loss of between one and five hundred dollars to the town and hej citizens. More factories means' a larger town, more people, mode; homes, more money, more business houses, higher land and lower taxes] More factories can be secured if the business men would get together, and with one accord pull for them.

The Raleigh News and Observer^ in a leading editorial, headed “Far mers Should Support Wilson,” says: “The farmers o f this Country should feel a special concern in the success of Democracy, for it is .to Democracy that they must look for legislation, which will treat them feirly and justly, and relieve them of the exactions under which they Iaborbecaiuse .of antagonistic Re publican legislation, a fact which is being recognized by the farmers throughout the country.” Now Mr. Farmer, after you have read the above from the Democratic organ, we suggest that you turn and read Governor Wilson’s speech of acceptance and see what he proposes if he is elected, to do for the farm ers and wealth-producers. Governor Wilson, in discussing the high cost of living, proposed as a remedy that such legislation should be enacted as would cause the dollar to buy more than it will buy now. Every millionaire and coupon clip per in the United States is in favor of that policy. The class of- people who do not create wealth, but who have a great deal of money, desire to make each dollar buy as much as possible of the products of the labor er and the farmer.Inorder that there may be no understanding about Governor -Wil son’s position, we quote his exact words. It is not as easy for us to live as it used to be. Our money will not buy as much. Higher wages, even when we get them, yield us no great comfort. Weusedto be better off with less, because the dollar could buy so much more.” There you have Prof. Wilson’s re medy in a nutshell. No, if Sbu want the dollar to buy more of your labor and products, then vote for Prof. Wilson and let us have another Democratic admins- Lration. Our people will remember that that was exactly condition we had under the Grover Cleveland ad- minstration. At that time, one dollar would buy twenty five,poundsof cotton, which made cotton sell, when it sold at all, at four cents a pound. Everything was cheap then, but nobody except the rich could buy even the necessa ries of life,, no matter how cheap they were. The Democratic program as we had it under Grover Gleveland and as squarely declared for by Prof. Wilson, is for-a dear dollar and a cheap man. . ■;Those who want that condition should vote the Democratic Ticket-: Caucasian.

Those who like soup ct n vote for Governor Wilson, but.for our part we wabf something more substan tial,—What say yon, Uncle Baint Simmons and Eitchin are run ning the big show. Its true Judge Clark and Locke Craig are trying to rnn a little side show of their own, free of charge, but it seems that they can’t get the people to go in and take a peep. No, sir. we don’t believe that the American people will ever allow the Democratic party to get in con tro.l of this governmentagain. They remember too well what it did for the country the last time it went to the bat. If that little New Jersey school teacher should happen to be elect ed President of the United States, he will teach the country another school of ' experience. But yon have often heard of the kind people who will learn-in no ,other.—Yes, it will be like the one taught, by Grover in the days of Clevelard; it will be sad aud soupy. Of course the trusts prospered more during Col. Roosevelt’s ad- minstration than they did during that of Cleveland.- So did every individual. Timeswere so good that they could not help prospering But during Cleveland’s adminstra- Jtion almost everything went ‘‘bust ed” except the trusts, and thit soup honse panic came pretty near getting them. The Democrat party is opposed to the “high cost of living”, which -is.thq only thing that cau es the farmers to get good prices for what they have to sell. So of course the farmers will vote for Wilson, and reduce the price of their corn, cot ton, peas, potatoes, meat, chickens and . eggs. For - our Democratic friends say the high cost of liviug must be required.—Clinton News Dispatch. A Warmed-Over Corpse. * Apropos of the recent resolution of the Bible Students’ Convention in Washington, repudiating the -doctrine of a literal ‘-hell fire,” Dr. Philip Hale Curtin, of Wheeling, said to a reporter; ‘‘Hell fire is rarely mentioned any more except in jest—except, for example, as in the body snatch ing story. “ A doctor according to this story saw, late one night, a fine automo bile halted onlside a cemetery. He hid behind a tree, for he suspected that body snatchers were at work; and sure enough, in a few minutes he Baw two body snatchers stagger from the cemetery carrying a body. They placed it upright in the auto mobile, as though it were alive, propping it securely in the back seat, and then they hurried back to the cemetery to fill the violated grave again. “The doctor in their .absence, lifted the body out of the automo bile, hid it undera hedge, and took its place himself. ‘‘Soon the scoundrels returned One seated himself at the wheel and the other seated himself in the back seat- beside the body, so as to support it. Then in the darkness they glided off. “After a while the man in the rear seat said in a rather awed tone: “ ‘This body seems mighty warm for a corpse.’ “The chauffer reached back his hand and touched it. “Don’t it though!” he muttered between perplexity and fear. “Theu the corpse, in deep, se pulchral toneB, exclaimed; . “ Warm! Of course I’m warm! And if you had been where I've been for the last two days you’d be warm too!!’ •‘With loud yells of horrcr the body snatchers leaped from the au tomobile and fied. The dcptor Beized the WheeFand drove it home He'has it, they say, still.” WE'VE GOT IT.

C., on Saturday, the 28th day of September, 1912, at 12 o'clock, m., for the purpose of nominating a candi date for Sheriff, Register of Deeds, Coun ty Treasurer, Three Members of the Buard of County Commissioners and a candi date for Representative to represent Da vie County in the next General Assembly, and to transact any further business which may properly come before said convention. The primaries for the several voting precincts of soie County will be held at said precincts on Saturday, Septm ber 21st, 1912, between the hours of 3 and 4 o’clock, p. m., and all Republican voters in the several precincts are urgently re quested to attend said primaries on said 21st day of September 1912, and cast their votes for the candidates of their choice for said officers. This 2nd day of September, 1912. C. G. BAILEY, Chm. Rep Ex. Com. Davie Co. J. F. MOORE, Secretary. With a new ticket in the field, Da vie county should go Republican bv 50.0 majority. The way Maine goes, so goes the countrv, therefore a Republican landslide can be looked for this fall. The Mocksville Herald has once again changed hands, Horn and Walker Bargain House being the editors and owners. The Democratic organ in Mocks- ville is demanding a new Democratic chairman and secretary. Keep your eyes open and see the glory of the party aud the leaders thereof. Should Tom Settle, Lo’ke Craig’ and Zeb Walser decide to stump the State together, then wou’d we be well repaid for all we have had to undergo for the past few years. The Record is in favor of sending a man to the Legislature who will tax the dogs in Davie county, and give the county the right to :s ;ue b n’s to build good roads. If you know of such a man, trot him out. Miine and Vermont have gone Republican, while Alabama gave the usual Democratic majority. Nothing strange about Alabama giving a De mocratic majority when her neighbor South Carolina can elect such a man as Blease for Governor. Cotton is Il^ cents a pound today. Should Woodrow accidentally row himself into the pi e idential chair next March, the price of cotton one one year hence will not he over 8 and most probably not over 6. Mark our prediction, brethren. Frank McNinch, Kitchen’s cam paign manager, is sending out some nii^jjty warm campaign letters these days.' Such a letter was received at The Record office the other day. One sentence read as follows: "By the use of political machinery, a packed convention, a partisan com mittee and paid newspaper art cles an effort has been made to hide the real issues of the campaign.” Ano ther sentence reads as follows.” The bosses, machine politicians, trusts, sfe:ial interests and Republicans lined up against Governor Kitchin.” Mighty nice Iauguage for one demo crat to be using about another. Eve ry good man in the State should come to the aid of the Republican pirty and help us retire both Sim mons and Kitchens to private life and send a man to the U. S. Sena'e •who is in sympathy and accord with the adminstration. Vermont Goes Republican White River Junction, Vt., Sept; 4.—The full report of the balloting in yesterday’s State election in Ver mont was compiled Iatetodayj with, out altering to any material degree the general* figures as indicated in the early returns. The unofficial total vote for Governor reached 65,- 033, the lareest in a Slate election in a presidential yearsioce 1904. TBere was no election by the peo ple but a sufficient number of Rep ublican members of (he Legisla'ure were chosen to insure the seating of Allen M. Fletcher, in October, as well as the remainder of the Repub lic in State- ticket. ~ The Bull Moose ticket in Vermont madi a very slim showing, far be hind ihe Demcc a:ic tiik*t Respite the fact that Roosevelt stumped the entire stat just previousjto the elec tion. Maine Goes Republican. Portland, Me., Sept. 9 —Maine turned back to the Republican par- tj in the State election today, W il- l:am T. Haines of Waterville being elected Governor. Gov. Frederick W , Plaisted, his Democratic oppo nent, who sought, a second term, while the Bepublicans regained one of the two congressional districts lost to the Democrats two years ago. The new Legislature is expected t j have a small Republican major ity, although returns before mid night were not sufficient to show whether former Congressman Ed win 0. Burleigh, Republican, or Senator Obidiah Gardner, Demo crat, wilt be chosen to the United States Senate for the term begin ning next March. Returns for Governor from 525 out of 634 election districts gave Haines, Republicay, 58,187; Piais- ted, Democrat, 53,706. The cor responding vote for 1910 was: . Fernald, Republican. 53.271; Piaisted, Democrat, 58,851. Ii the same percentage is maintained throughout the State Haines’ elec tion is icd cited by about 3,750 p.urality coin pared with 8,660 giv enPlaisted in 1910. x Floyd and Claude Ailen Sentenced to Ce th. Wytheville, Va., Sept. 11.— When adjourpment was taken for dinner today in the tiial of Victor Alien for alleged participation in the Hillsville court house murders, Judge ftap’ei had Floyd atd Claude Allen, who were found guiU iy.of flwt• degree murder on" the same cl a-ge brought into fonrt and p i*sed sentence of deat h u> on them fixing Kovetnber £2 as the date «f execution.

Boger, ; Letter From Aveiy County- Editor Record:—Iwant to thank you for the complimentary editorial endorsing me for the Senate.' which appeared in your paper of SepJ. 4th. I t ispleasanttobe remembered by the true and loyal friends at home, and I want to thank you, and at the same time assure you that I appre ciate your kindly mention of my name in connection with the nomina tion. I am not a candidate, and I realize by past experience that Da vie county has cast her pearls too often before the unappreciative Re publicans of Yadkin and Wilkes to again ask that my name be brought before, them, that Davie county De ignored, and I might say insulted by their greed for. a little office, Had I beejj present when the Repub licans of Davie met in convention to elect delegates to the various con ventions, I should have made a mo tion to leave off the election of dele gates to the Senatorial convention, for it is asking too much of our peo ple to go to Yadkinville through mud and rain, and pay hotel. bills and then be ignored and plotted- a- gainst by a few hungry political tricksters with axes to grind, for thus has Davie been treated for the past twenty years Let them have it, for if any man who has represen ted the district from Yadkin or Wilkes since we have been in the same district, has distinguished him self or done any act that he is espec ially proud of, it has escaped my knowledge. Davie county is small teritornally, but rich in stalwart citizenship, and her sons do not have to represent other counties in order to win fame or add lustre to her name. “She envies not others their merited glory,” ‘‘Her name stands foremost in history’s story.” With that she is satisfied and content. Let Davie’s stalwart sons stay at home on the day the Senatorial convention meets at Yadkinville, save their money, their time and their high sense of honor and respectability, but be sure Frank, to send a ’phone message to the chairman of the con- vention'and urge him to read that passage in the “good book,-’ where it'says “Cast not your pearls before the “Bull Moose,” lest he trample upon them, and tear and rend you to pieces.” Now, Mr. Editor I want, in bring ing this article to a close, to thank those unknown friends who have suggested my name for the legisla ture. I am way back here in the mountains trying to work and make a living for the dear ones at’ home. I have a girl and boy to raise and educate, and I should never- have left my humble home in Davie, had I seen a chance to have accomplished that which is nearer ar.,d dearer to me than all the little offices, not on ly in Davie but in the world. Iwill-, in all probability, not be a citizen of Davie more than eight or ten months and if the good people of Davie with whom I have spent my childhood, and the greater part of my matur ity desire, to thrust this unsought honor upon me, they can do so, but I desire to say right no w, that if it is offered me, it shall come to me with clean hands, for I will not en ter into any scramble, or resort to any questionable methods to get it. The people of the county know me, if they think I can and : wili' repre sent them at Raleigh Ifex t winter with credit to myself, and will re flect honor upon the sturdy citizen ship of my old home# they can do so —if they think other wise there will be no displeasjire or chagrin on my part. I don’t know that I can be present at the convention, and I shall-not come seeking the nomina tion. I shall be, on the day the con vention meets, where in my opinion diity Calls me strongest. 'No man loves his old home and his good, loy al friends more and better than I, and wherever my future lot may be east, dear old Davie will be found nestling close to the heart of one who believes he knows how to love, ^nd never forget the true loyal friends of his old' home county— Davie.

It seems that we have an unyield ing drought in this section, While late potatoes, turnips, etc:; are bad ly crippled, it is giving the farmers a fine chance to make their hay and fodder. Muchof thecorn loofs if it would do to 'gather, in reality we have had some fine corn bread from the new crop of corn. The cotton i3 injured by- the drought, and is "opening rapidly. We fear the crop will fall below the average of 75 per cent, in Rowan. It looks as if we had almost an epidemic of protracted colds in this section. We aIso have a few cases of typhoid fever. No recent deaths. A good number of our friends went on the excursion to Johnson City, and claim they got more than the full value of their money. They think they enjoyed a mountain seen ery-next in grandeur to any in the United States... . j. On the 7th >nst, Mr. John Hamil ton and wife, near here, were taken on a great surprise by a birthday partv that made a visit to their home. About 11 o’clock, while the children were aware of What was on hand, and while Mrs. Hamilton* was preparing the'usual dinner,,the vis itors began to come in in crowds, and continued to come in until there were about one hundred present, After the joking and congratulating of the old folks were over, a large table was prepared, and it was soon Iiterally coveredwith many of the good things so palatable to the hu man stomach, After a prayer of thanks and a blessinf asked by Rev. R. R. Sowers, we all done our whole daty iu trying to relieve the table of its burden, but in this we failed. After the sumptuous dinner was over a long list of presents from their various friends were brought out and delivered to Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton by Rev. R. L. Brown, The day was one of pleasure. We un derstand there was an ice cream picnic there that night. Mr. Pleas Brown, a theological student from the Lutheran Semin ary, at Philadelphia and who has been preaching up North, is home on a short visit. Ae will finish his theological ,course during the com ing year. He has also ,offered his service as a foreign missionary. We attended the Rowan cour.ty Sunday School convention this year* and think it was the most interesting meeting in the history of this work in the county. We are glad to know the Sunday School work is growirg in our county, Wish more old peo ple would take part in this great work.' Mrs. R. L Brown would like very much to know what has become of the Austin -family, of Mocksville, Misses ,Lillie,- Cora_and Mrs. Austin Can the,editor of The Record tell heJrJ. . , O b se rv e r.LMrsvAustinand daughter, Miss Cora.

' There are unhappy marricd lives, but a large percentage of these unhappy homes are due to the illness of the wife; mother or daughter. The feelings of nervousness, the befogged mind, the iil-temper, the pale and wrinkled face, hollow and circled eyes, result most often from those disorders peculiar to women. For the woman” to be happy and good-looking she must naturally have good health. Dragging-down feelings, hysteria, hot-fld3hcs or constantly returning pains and aches—are too great a drain upon a woman’s vitality and strength. Dr, Pierce’s Favorite Prescription restores weak and sick women to- sound health* by regu lating and correcting the local disorders which are generally responsible lor the above distressing symptoms. : “ I suffered greatly fpr.a number of years and for the past three years was so bad that life was a misery to m e/’ writes Mbs. B- F. DiCK- OVEBy of .Utica, Ohio. Route 4. “ The doctors told me I would have to So to a hospital before I would ever be better. A year ago this winter and spring I was worse than ever before. At each period I suffered like one in torment, I am the mother of sue children. I was so bad forfive months that I knew something must be done, so I wrote to Dr. R. V. Piercey telling him as nearly as I could how I suffered. He outlined a course pf treatment which I followed to the letter. I took two* bottles of cFavorito Prescription * and one of ‘ Golden Medical Discovery' and a fifty-cent bottle of Smart-Weed,’ and-have never suffered much since. I wish I could tell every suffering woman the world over what, a boon ' Dr. Piereets medicines are.

Whenjhe news that Hew York women had-taken to wearing socks reached Paris a movement was started to introduce the same cus torn here but without success. In the last week or two, however, a step even further in this direction was taken, and at fashionable sea side places it is now considered quite chic to walk about In sandles or low cut shoes, with no other covering for the feet. Thisinnovation is highly approv rd by medical men here, w ho think that by exposing the foot and part of the leg to the air the physical system is much strengthened. Two physicians who have made a special study of the subject, Prof. Baymond aud Dr. Charlier, declare that 40 per cent of the delicate girls cau have their health restored by discarding stcckings in summer Despondency Is often caused by indigestion' and con stipation, and quickly disappears when Chamberlain's Tablets are taken.

", More Pay for Carriers. Washington Dispatch, 1st. Under authority conferred by the postoffice appropriation bill, Postmaster General Hitchcock to day increased the salaries of rural letterearriers on standard routes from $1,000 to $1,100 a year, thus effecting 30,000 men, with propor tionate increases to carriers on shorter routes. The order will be come effective September 30. This' will mean an increased dis bursement of $4,000,000 a year. It is the second salary advance for rur ral carriers made in the last four years. At the,close of the last fis cal year on June 30, there were ^2,031 rural mail carriers, the ag gregate -pay being $40,655,740, When the rural delivery system was instituted 16 years ago, 83 carriers were employed at an an nual,cost of $14,840, the maximum individual pay being $200 a year. The increase provides rural car riers,: adequate compensation for additional burdens to be imposed by the parcels post system, effec tive January I. “The parcels post system on ru ral mail routes can be conducted practically,with no extra expenses to the government, except the in creased salary allowance; to car riers,” said Mr. Hitchcock. “In my judgment this additional cost will:be more than offset by an in creased revenue, thus insuring the maintenance and, from time to time, the extension of the rural delivery system, as a self support ing Jiranch of the postal service.” Mr. Hitchcock has directed, also that rural mail .carriers, on the completion of the" 12 months Seri vice, be granted ; 15 days’ leave with pay. ;■ This.-will, require the addnional eipenditure of $80,000 a year in the payment of substitute carriers.

September I,— Wfth the view of encouraging the Southeastern farmer to put the whole farm to work by introducing beef cattle in the system of farm ing and to give practical aid in this work, the Southern Railway Company has just issued au attrac tive booklet giving valuable, in struction on the feeding and man agement of beef cattle. The book let calls attention to the fact that only about forty per cent of arable land of the Southeastern stateB is being nBed. and declares that by the introduction of stock raising the remaining sixty per cent could be made to return handsome profit and the land greatly enriched. Prof. R. S. Curtis, of the North Carolina experiment station, and Prof. Dan T. Gray, of the Alaba ma Experiment Station, both emi nent authorities on animal Indus try, contribute articles to the book let which set out in detail the me thods to be pursued in feeding and handling cattle to secure the most profitable results. The Southern Railway desires to give this book let wide distribution throughout the South, and copies will be glad ly mailed to those interested on application to F. L. Word, Live Stock Agent.

It is the professional politician usually who voices it, but often It is repeated by those who are accustomed to take their estim ates of public inen and their political opinions from others. , Playing the game has been the occu pation of tim e serving-politicians from tim e immemorial. Men who regard politics as a game like to see it played deftly. Other men without fixed ideas on the subject parrot tile criticism passed by the-experts. Piaying the game In politics neces sarily has deceit as its fundamental principle. The public man who sees develop ing an issue that m ight prove embar rassing to him personally, and who manages, by guile, to divert public at tention to another, a lesser, but a per fectly safe, Issue, plays the game. The public man who makes public protestations o f his enmity toward swollen wealth and then ,holds secret conferences^ with the representatives of that wealth, -plays the game. The public man who preaches one code of political morality and prac tices another plays the game. The public man who utters sounding but empty phrases, no m atter how de lightful his diction or how superb his eloquence, playst the game. - , .The public man who makes promises Impossible of fulfillment - plays the game.

BY UNDERWOOD IlSiDOlSSS SHOULD BE REtD Workers Will Recognize His Distortion of Figures and Facts and Will Not Be Beguiled by It—Shows How Hard POshed the Democrats Are For an Argument. It is to be hoped that every Ameri can worker in the various industries protected by . the tariff . will read the address of Ur. Underwood, Democrat ic. Ieaaer in the house of representa tives, in which he sets fbrth as taxa tion the tariff duties. on articles In ordinary use. There is nothing novel in the Underwood distortion of tariff figures and facts. It is (is threadbare free trade, as threadbare as the American workingman would soon be if he should allow himself to be beguil ed by Underwood and other votaries of the late Confederate constitution into the surrender of” Republican pro tection. It is true, as Underwood says, that the tariff taxes he describes are im posed on articles such as he describes —woolen ciothlng, shoes, the tin pail, window pane, carpet, etc., bat he is wholly' and deliberately wrong and misleading when he says that the du ties In question are imposed on or ad ded to the cost of these articles, as used In the ordinary American family. The tariff tax is lmposedron goods manufactured abroad and imported for sale in competition with goods made In America by American workers earning American wages. - Tbe m an or woman who is satisfied with the product of American labor— ^ihd nine-tenths of the American people are so satisfied—has no tariff tax to pay, and this is shown Jay the fact that the American article, 'w ith its manu facture fostered by protection,-is often cheaper in price than the imported would be'w ithout paying tariff duties. The tariff duties prevent excessive imports, which would flood the mar ket, as imported goods flooded the m arket under the tafiff reductions made by the Democratic Wilson bill of 1894, reducing not only the tariff, but reducing also the demand for American goods: and’ for American labor to make American goods. M r.; Underwood's statem ent is cheap claptfap. We had supposed that style of talk too moldy and cobwebbed for further exercise, and the fact that it is again dragged out of the discard proves how' hard pushed the free trade Democ racy is for something to bolster its waning cause.

It takes votes, and-lots of them, and we cannot afford to nominate -men whom our people will not support. The Record is a Republican paper, fighting for the principles of the party, and in making this statement above, we believe we are voicing the sentiments of the great majority of Republican voters in Davie county. There is no use to nominate a set of men for office who cannot be elect ed, even though they may be our best friends, which is true in this case The Record holds party a- bove men. UST APPUL TO THE PARTY. Mr. Editor: —I have-noticed dif ferent tickets mentioned in yoiir pa per recently, and I wish to express here the feelings of a lot of farmers up here in my country. They say emphatically they will not support a single man that is on the old: tick et. Now, why shall we let the ring crowd try to force them oh us again? We are not going to submit to, them naming the ticket any longer. We farmers ask, and demand our rights in this approaching convention. A VOTER. The campaign in this county will doubtless open up in a few days, as both the Republican and Democratic tickets will be put in the field Satur day. Wonder if the Democratic State Committee, Simmons and Kitchin have found out “what is a demo crat?” A special meeting was held in Raleigh last week to settle the question. In a few weeks the woods will I e full of political speakers, telling the dear people how to vote and who to vote for. The people are tired of being dictated to, and will vote as they please and for the men of their choice, regardless of the bosses and politicians. When you hear the Democrals boosting up and bragging on certain Republicans, you may bet your last dollar that they won’t vote for the Republican, but do this because they think he is the easiest man to beat. Never nominate the fel IoW that the enemy boosts so high. The Democratic papers through out the State are asking Craig hit to meet Settle on the stump. No danger, boys; Mr. Craig hasn’t the backbone to meet Tom Settle. - Fact is, you couldn’t induce any Demo crat in the State to meet Thomas in joint debate. Bob Glenn tried that trick once, but never afterward. Josephus Daniels, of the Nusiance . and Corrupter, says that Wilson will practically carry every State in the Union in November. This same Jo sephus said eight years ago that Par ker would be elected, and four years ago he thought Bryan would be el ected. We wouldn’t take from Jo sephus the pleasure he gets out of electing his ticket in September, for when the votes are counted in No vember he is always disappointed. The Cooleemee Journal, in speak ing of the Repudlican State Conven tion, among other things, says: “But when you shake free licker at the average Republican in North Caro lina he makes haste to get on that wagon and he sticks to it as long as the licker lasts." In the same issue of The Journal appears thre.e whisk ey advertisements, something that The Journal should be proud of, as it is the only paper in the county that will accept whiskey ads. It ill becomes The Journal to use such language, when the Democrats are running a whiskey man for presi dent. But of such is Democracy. We have talked to leading Repub licans in various parts of the county, and in a great many instances they tell us that they- will not support the old Republican ticket, if it is nominated. The people are tired of voting for the same set of men, and if the old ticket is nominated with out some changes made, the .Repub- cans, or many or them, at least, will not go to the polls on election day. The best men in the county should be nominated for the various offices. The time has come when a few boss Largest Animal ca Eaath. Sparks’ World Fatn >us Shows are billed to exhibit at Cjoleemee Friday, Sept. 27, and from the newspaper reports preceding them their exhibition wiU be worth going many miles to witness. Among the many features the show ctrries is what is claimed to be the largest land animal on earth. It is an elephaot »aid to be three inches taller than Jumbo and a half ton heavier. ' # This monstrous animal was imported to this country from Africa and became the property of the Sparks Shows after the payment of the enormous sum of $16,000. This mammoth brute, strange to say, has a most docile disposition and enjoys noth ing better than to have the crowds stand around ,her. Some idea of her immense size can be obtained when you consider that she is 11 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs over 5 tons. In other words she weighs as much as 10 ordinary horses-Y Many other wonderful things are to be s :en with this mammoth show, and the performance beneath the big tents will present a number of the most marvelous foreign acts of the century. Male and fe male riders, gymnasts, acrobats, leapers, tumblers and aerial artists will present their various death-defying acts. Lions tigers and other ft rjcious wild animals will be turned loose in big steel enclosures and made to obey the commands of their keepers, giving a wonderful exhibition of man’s superiority over the brute creation. T wenty of the world’ sfunniest clowns will be on hand to cause merriment. A mile long parade of dazzling splendor beautiful women, handsome horses, inter- s.)t rred with three brass bands and a steam calioje will traverse the streets a- bout noon and this feature alone will be worth going many miles to see. Don’t forget the date and the place of exhibition, Cooleemee, Friday, Sept. 27. GooH RoaHs Aod Dog Tax. Editor Record:—Possibly I had better define my position on two questions upon which the people are especially interested, especially so in Davie, the good roads question and the taxation of dogs While I’ am not expecting or asking for the nom ination, yet some of my friends have suggested my name, and I do not desire to be Voted for, or considered by my friends without a full knowi- eige of my position on these impor- t mt questions. T will try and be explicit and direct. I am in favor of good roads, and if I am nomina ted and elected to represent the peo ple of Davie, I shall name a date and ask the good people from all over the county to meet with me at the court house and then and there try to find out what the people want, and should a bond issue or a road tax be decided • upon, a. petition should be circulated among the tax payers in order to secure their en dorsement of the plan agreed upon, and whatever plan is adopted or en dorsed, if the people are to be taxed an election should be veld in 1913 to approve it before it becomes opera tive, Goodroadsina great meas ure, are of greater importance to the people ot the county who build t iem than outsiders, and the people who are taxed to buijd them should have a voice in saying whether they desire to have their property taxed for such a pumose. A tax on dogs should be disposed of in the same way. Pass your laws and let the people vote on both questions be fore they become operative. I am a strong believer in local self-govern ment, and I do not believe a member of the legislature shcu d take the rjins in his hands, and place addit- i mal taxes on the people, unless he commits himself publicly on the s ump to such a course, and the peo ple endorse his position by electing him. He should be a true represen- titive of the people, and he should, try to give them what they want if possiblfe and practicable. Were I a member of the legislature, I would resign rather than vote against n y honest convictions. > • • • E. II. Mo rris. :— — !_________________ I W. G. Gaither, of Elizabeth City, /,Lited frlenas.pi this city last week. Letter From Advance. Mr. Editor: I see several tickets suggested by Republicans in various parts of the county, all of which are composed of good men, but -this is not the question. Are these good men standing for progress of are they for standing still as we have stood for the last 50 years? This is This is the question that confronts us now. There is no question in my mind but what something has got to be done along the line mentioned. To safeguard the Joss of a few pen nies for the county is. not all that is required. We have got to get down to business and build good roads, good bridges and have some'public conveniences for the citizens of the county, or else we will remain hew ers of wood and carriers of water,' for such counties as Forsyth, Guil ford, Rowan, etc. Let us see to it that the next Board of County Com missioners pledge to the people to put upon foot the building of good roads, thereby working the convicts of this county upon its own roads and also employing other free labor in the sections through which these roads are being built. Now, my Republican friends we have got to begin somewhere and now is as good time to begin as any. I believe it is the duty of the Republicans to initi ate this move, as it will not only be right, but will be popular among ihe people. The court house, among a few, was unpopular at first, but' now Davie county folks are proud of their court house and jail. I am satisfied that if we fail to-actdn this direction that the Democrats are go ing to undertake something of the kind, and then the people will nat urally follow a party that stands for something and is willing to do.

It is a. well known fact and has never been questioned, that the earth upon which the children of men reside is and nas been through all the past ages a very mysterious world, so much so that it will never, be thoroughly comprehended by the children of men while Iivi:/, yet the pre sumption is that those who will have s iccess aster they have gone the way of all the earth to be permitted to go into the presence of the angels, and the pur est of the pure in heaven, and there with the syraphim forever may then have a know ledge why the Omnipotent caused this world to be a world of mystery. iWhy did the Lord of hosts, who' possesses all power suffer the virgin’s son to be arrest ed by wicked officers and conveyed to a wicked court and for judgment to be ren dered against him, and the penalty of which to be an ignominious death upon the Roman cross for the redemption of the children of men, and there between the oarth and the heavens to be viewed by a broken-hearted-mother, in the midst of a wicked congregation, and that, too, when the earth did shake and quake and was covSred with darkness. W hydidnot that Being, who is the owner of the uni verse and all that is therein, adopt some otber mode in lieu of that which caused the purest blood that ever flowed through the purest veins of alt beings to usher from the Virgin’s darling child. Ifit had not occurred, then the purest heart of a ldvingmother would never have been broken, and it is not questioned but what Jehovah has ail power at all times, to’ accomplish and to do whatever is con sistent with his will, and then why did he not save the mother’s child from that cruel death. Il all goes to show that this world is a world of mystery. J. R. WILLIAMS. Death of Mv. Slroud. Statesville Landmark. Harmony, R. I, Sept. 9—Mri T. C.

Th© peaches placed on the market by him this year have been sought afj ter on account of their superiority wbi h is said to be due to the skill employed by Mr Baileyin produc ing the fruit We take this as a practical demonstration of what others can do right here iu this section of Roith Caroi a: We are informed that Mr. Pailey is not only a successful fruit grower but is likewise one of the best truck farmers in the county. It is said that while he had only 40 acres of laud in cultivation last year he marketed over §3,700 worth of pro duce, and last year was not a good crop year either. This is farming s mi and others should get a lesson from it. The writer talked with another good farmer io Rowan the latter part of March who stated that from one acre he bad already marketed §240 worth of onions and expected to get another crop from the same tract before the ■ season ended. ~ ~ Mother of Eighteen Children. “I am the mother of eighteen children and have the praise of doing more work than any young woman in my town.” writes Mrs. C. J. Martin, Boone Mill, Va, “I suffered for five years with stomach trouble and could not eat as much as a biscuit without suffering. I have taken three bottles of Chamberlain’s Tablets and am now a well woman and' weigh 168 pounds. I can eat anything I want to and as much as I want and feel bet ter than I have at any time in ten years. I refer to anyone in Boone Mill or vicin ity and they will vouch for what I say.” Chamberlain’s Tablets are for sale by all dealers. Pains AU Over! “You are welcome,” says Mrs. Nora Guffey, of Broken Arrow, Okla., “to use my lel.er In any way you want to, if it will induce some suffering woman to try Cardui. I had pains all over, and suffered with an abscess. Three phy sicians failed to relieve me. Since taking Cardui, I am In better health than ever before, and that means much to me, because I suffered many years with womanly troubles, of different kinds. What other treatments I tried, helped me for a few days only.” T h e . WoinanliTonic Don’t wait, until you are taken down sick, before tak ing care of yourself. The small aches and pains, and other symptoms of womanly weakness and disease, always mean worse to follow, unless given quick treatment You would always keep Cardui handy, if you knew what quick and permanent relief it gives, where weakness and disease of the womanly system makes life seem hard to bear. Cardui has helped over a million women. Try it Write to: Ladies’ Advisory Dept1 Chattanooga, Medicine Co., Chattanooga, Tcnn,, - for Special Instmciiem, and 64-page book.

BAITY, How to Handle Broomcorn. Brooaicorn is one of the easiest crops to cultivate, requiring about the same preparation and cultiya tion as corn; and the novel will find no difficulty in handling the crop until harvesting time. Then the requirements are: Topull tbe brush at the prop: r stage—when it ma^ be jerked! !rom the boot without breaking and shows a solid green color all the way down, and prevention, so far as possibe, of damage by rain. For this latter purpose we have found uo’hicg better than a well ventilated barn. After, the heads have been pulled and allowed to sun Tn the field for 2 4 hours they should be tied in bundles four or five inches through and placed in the barn, one layer deep if possible. They should then be expected'every day or so and if any musty spots appear inside the bundles they'should be turned out —which can be done by grasping each side of the bundle near the tie and'giving it a rolling motion which brings the inside out to the air. Brush cured in this way brings practically as much as the wholly shed cured article, and the very IaDorous process and expen sive preparation involved in shed curing is avoided. Where ho broomcorn has J ever been raised two difficulties will be met with— both of them, however, being easy of solution. The§e are threshing and selling., Broocorn threshers, or seeders as they are usually- call ed in brobmeord^iRtbfy^are not expensive and are, easy to run; Broomcorhbu^^^iif come to your station and pay. <|ash for your pro duct if a sufficient quantlty ds rais ed. When only a small amount is grown it can, of course, be sold through a reliable commission house.—Progressive Farmer. • - Diarrhoea Quickly Cured. “I was taken with diarrhoea and Mr. Yorks, the merchant here, persuaded me to try a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Chelera and Diarrhoea Remedy. After taking one dose of it I was cured. It al so cured othors that I gave it to,” writes M. E. Gebbart, Oriole, Pa. That is not at all unusual. An ordinary attack of diarrhoea can almost invariably be cnred by one or two doses of this remedy. For sale by all dealers. Mocksvilie, N. C. J The Davie Record Of course, Hon.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucousliningof the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or un perfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed. Deafness is the result- and unless the inflammatiou can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine ea-' Bes out of ten are,caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an- inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
