FOR млксй ;
If you arc tho fortunate posfl-
esaor of a Jiand^turfed'muslin
bed spread, I know you w ill be
interested in knowing how to
keep it iresh. Luckily it. can, bp
washed in the usual -way but it
ia after laundering ' that care
must bo taken. Hang it -over the
line as venly as possible and let
tho wind dry It. Then' spread it
smoothly on the' bed without
ironing it and with a , whisk
ibroom brush out the tufts. If
this method is followed the
spread, which ought to last for
many years, will retain its new
ness.
' Mjacnrottl I'eoDers }
Fill sweet peppers with finely-
chopped, cooked macnrorii, add
ing to each pepper a large spoon
ful of grated cheese. Bake in
covered pan with a little water.
Serve with tomato sauce.
DO YOU KNOW THAT:
1. Curtains will look 'better
and stay 'clean longer - i^. .after
being washed they are starched
slightly?
2. Broken china may be; mend
ed by placing the pieces together
and boiling in milk until they
adhere?
3. Stale rollfJ can be freshen
ed by sprinkling them with
water and then warming them in
the oven?
4. A garment being cleaned
with naptha must not be ru'b-
bed as there is danger of the
friction causinj^ an explosion?
5. Naptha should never be
used in a room near a flame,
but, if possible, kept out of
doors?

A Democratic Year
In Davie County
The political situation in Davie
continues to grow interesting,
and especially so to the Demo
crats, On • every hand ono hears
predictions of another Democra
tic victory for tho entire local
ticket in November. Even the
most sanguine republican can
find little to commend in the
present administration’s record
for the past eighteen months. On
the other hand, republicans by
the scores who have felt tho
wholesome effects of the '.'Now
Deal" are clearly outspoken in
their purpose to cast a straight
Democratic ticket in the fall elec
tions.
,So far the Democratic county
ticket ia composed of the follow
ing candidates;
For County Commissioners, W.
D. Reavia, Jaa, C, Barnhardt and
George Evans. For Sheriff, Floyd
G. M'C.Swain; For Coroner, 0. L.
Casey; For State Senator, John
P. LeGrand; For Representative,
J. G. Crawford.
The candidates above named
were nominated without opposi
tion. V
No nominees have 'been chosen
as yot for the offices of clerk of
Superior Court and register of
deeds, contest being on for
nomination aa clerk “between
Messrs. L. D. Driver, of

Messrs. Harry A. Osborne, of
Mocksville and .€. H, Barneycas
tle, of Calahaln. Tho successful
candidate in each of these con
testa, whoever ho may be, w ill add
greatly to the personnel of the
ticket already selected.
For the nomination to the of
fice of Judge of the 17th -Judi
cial ID'lstrict there are three De
mocratic aspirants, all jurists of
unusual judicial capacity, namely
Hon. Julius A. RouBSCHu, of North
Wilkesboro, Hon. Hayden Burko,
of T'ayloravillo and Hon. John W.
Ragland, of Spruce Pino. There is
no present definite index to the
result of the primary in this con
test, however, rumor has it that
Mr. Rousseau by reason of his
geographical advantage as a resi
dent of the 17th Judicial District,
24th Senatorial District and 8th.
Congressional District, holds a
slîîtht edge over both of his op
ponents in Davie.
On the republican aide, the op
position has lined up the same
group of 'Officers that has hao
charge of the county's affairs
since December, 1932. With the
exception of representative and
coronar, the officials now_, repre
senting the present admin istra-
tioiT will h e offored to the voters
again in .Novemiber, and, as stat
ed abo-ve, tJi.ere seems to exist but
little enthusiasm over their ré
élection.
Republican strife relates to a
race bétween Messrs. B. C. Brock
and E. H. Morris, local attorneys,
for nomination as member of the
general assemtoly, and a contest
between Messrs. W. F. McCulloh
cand W. E. Kcnnen for the ofllce
of coroner.
By way of summary this seems
to be a iDemocratic year and afc
this stage of the campaign we
are joining in the prediction now
generally expressed iby votera in
every section of the county that
Davie will return to the Demo
cratic family next November.

Tho slaves -were happy and care

of Burko County owned enough
slaves at one time to have ex
changed them for a big section
of her county in land. She had
no slaves to sell, neither did she
have any who sought freedom,
but lived about her many years
after they were set free. There
was only one course left for
North Carolina, nnd she would
have to take sides with her sls-
