IT is gratifying to see that Democrats
in North Carolina do not want to go
into an office on a technicality. John L.
Woodward, Democratic candidate for
Solicitor in the Third district, was ten
derld the certificate Of election by the
State canvassing board, but as Mr..
Woodward's majority was secured by
the boards refusing to count for his
opponent some three hundred votes,
manifestly intended to be cast for him,
but with the initials Of his name wrong,
MIR. Woodward promptly declined to
accept the certificate, saying he could not
afford to be the beneficiary of mere
technicality in politics This reads well
alongside Of the ante-election declaration
OF Richmond Pearson that he proposed
to take advantage. of every technicalitv
in order to secure his seat in Congress
Mr.. Woodward deserved to be elected
Pearson deserved defeat-that's the
difference.

Annual Holiday Rush Expected to Be-

The annual holiday jam in the express
business is expected to open up about
tomorrow, aud then there will be nott-

Blankenship, the agent, gave THE ClTI

by all patrons, would have good effect.
The advice is: When sending presents 10
boxes that have been used once or oftener,
be sure that the old addresses on the
boxes are obliterated In frequent in
stances boxes that have been marked in
large letters with the name of some Ashe
willie firm are used. the old addresses are
not marked out, and the sender relies
upon very small tag to carry the box
through. In the great rush there 10 a
chance that the tag will be overlooked,
and sometimes the box instead Of going
to its destination comes back to the
sending poiut, according to the old ad-
dress on the box,

NOT GAMBLING.

There is always fly in the amber,
and some one has found out in Ashevillc
that the friendly contests for the most
popular" this. that and the other person
and thing at the fair last week were
really gambling, and that to participate
in the benefits of the fair would be and is
sinful. Gam bling consists in hazarding
a little with the possibility only Of
winning much in return. Most of the
money paid in at the fair was conducted
on the reverse of this principle; great
deal was expended and, in many cases,
little was returned for the expenditure.
For instance, the dividends on the pay
ing out Of several hundred dollars to be
voted the most popular" cannot be
such as to suggest the idea OF a winner
in gambling contest.
Outside Of all this, however, there
might be considered the question whether
fair Of any kind is the best means Of
raising money for either church or any
charity. 1t will hardly Ike controverted
that We ought as community to come
to the MD Of so worthy an object as the
hospital without any extra inducements
whatever. We ought to give to it for
the mere sake Of giving, with the desire
to help the poor ia distress. Our sup
port Of the hospital ought to be purely
voluntary.

liable staudbys who have always given

do so without asking or expecting any.
thing In return therefor.
At any rate, draw the line as fine as we
will, the fact remains that a considera-

Willets Point is a government station
commanded by Lieutcnant-C colonel X. W.
King, and here it is that engineering
officers of the United States army get
their polishing of.
Colonel King having handy large
cannon weighing 1000 pounds. and a
quantity of old torpedo wire, took IA
miles of the wire, coiled it around one OF
his guns and passed electricity through
the wire by means OF powerful dyna-
mo. At once an immense magnetic force
was developed. You may have seen a
little horseshoe magnet, and how several
steel pens may be made to hang from it..
This big magnet does the same thing
with FIVE cannon balls which represent a
down-pull of 1925 pounds. They hang
together, one over the other, by an area
of surface which can be, theoretically,
but point.

to help, tries to take the crowbar, and
finds that he cannot bulge it. pull, haul

efforts of two men. with sudden jerk,
to pull away from the gun an iron bar
weighing about 25 pounds.
