THOUGHT FEW WILL ACCEPT.
The question that arises in connection
with the partial ticke nominated yes
tprdav is as to the acceptance OF the
nominations made. The ticket for county
commissioners consist of four gentlemen
who are known as Democrats ana one
who has not always voted the StralSh'
ticket. of him it being said that he voted
against the amendment 1t IS hot
thought that more than one, possibly
two. of the nominees Will accept.
Mr.. Fort. the nominees for Register OF
Deeds. has heretofore announced himself
as an "Independent"' candidate, and he
has now become the nominee of the
..rump" convention held yesterday.
Mr.. COLE DECLIES.
Mr.. w. Henry Cole was seen by
friends at a late hour last night. IN
talking with them he stated emphatlcal-
" that he would not accept'the nomnla-
ton for County Commissioner and would
not be a candidate under any clrcuIn-
stances. He knew nothing Of his nomi-
| nation until informed of it by friends
last night.
Now watch and see the others decline.
| They will do as Mr.. Cole has done.
Word from Neuse just before going tc
press is that it is understood there that
Mr.. Weathers Will not accept.
AN ERROR CORRECTED.
In a write un of the meeting of the
independents two weeks ago, the reporter
was in error in a reference mad to the
political affiliations of Mr.. w. H. Chap
pell, Of New Light. Mr.. Chapel in early
life was a Republican,, but for sixteen
! years he has been a Democrat and IN
! active worker. During that time i nave
never scratched a ticket" he said yes
terday. He will preserve that record by
voting the full Democratic ticket in No
vember.

strongly in the immortal principles of
the grand old party, proud Of all It's

ton of all the people vitality concerns all
the people, deserves the support OF all
the people, and can best be promoted
through the cooperation of a. the peo-
ple, it seems to be desirable and prope:
that partisan politics should not be
mixed with this question and that the
candidate for superintendent of Public
instruction should make an educatlonal
rather than a political campaign.
While the Democratic party has never
INDUCED in idle talk about non-partl-
sanship. feel sure that it is the desire
of the party that it's candidate for Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction shall
neither mix partisan pOlIlcS With HIS
campaign nor be influenced thereby in the
discharge of his official duties. | trust,
therefore, that | shall have the approval

their duty in the education of all their

How To Sit And Rise.

"My dear" said the old lady, cit is worse
than crime: It is iil-bred."
Nothing points out the well bred woman
more quickly than the position she takes
when she sits down. The stamp of vulgar
ity is marked upon the woman who sits
with her knees spread far apart; lack Of
refinement is shown by knees crossed often
sfveiy; lack Of ease by stiff and constrained
positions CT the shoulders; general care
lessness and Indifference by the vary COM

upper rather than the lower part Of it rests

aIter sitting a while, should need to rest a
httle more, the shoulders may also touch
upon the same support The hands should
remain as they naturally fall from this nosi-
tion, hanging at the sides, or they may be
paced easily over the arms or back of the
cnalr or allowed to lie respectfully on the
lap.
To rise properly from a correct sitting DO
sition there should be several preparatory
movements.
The chest is first poised far forward, and at
the same time the foot is drawn back under
the seat. The foot drawn in should be the
one opposite from the direction to be taken
in starting up.
AS you rise throw the weight firmly upon
the foot in the rear AS the body comes to
its full height change the weight to the for
ward foot, so that the other foot merely
touches the floor very lightly. This brings
you to standing position, ready to walk
easily in the direction you are going.
Ugly sitting positions and awkward move
ments in rising will disappear if these prin.
ciples are followed.

Cheerfu|nGSs The Beautifer.

One woman who saw in her mirror that
the wrinkles of old age were creeping upon
her face before her TING prayed to the gouS
to renew her youthful appearance.
Eye gods, We gods, she cried, smooth
away the lines from my face and make me
beautiful and beloved of men once NOR
In those days skin foods and the art OF
facial massage were unknown, and the gods
in council gave her advice in answer to her
prayer, saying: '.If you will no longer scold
nor fret nor froWn, but be always cheerful,
whatever comes your way, you will look
young again and be beloved of men as be-
FORE
So the woman, having faith in the gods,
followed their advice SO persistentIy that
she found herself in due course of time
with new and beautiful skin, glossier hair
upon her Sead, and men waiting at every
corner to propose marriage to her; so that
she would have none Of them, but ran
away with her fathers chauffeur Tor what
answered to him in those tines, and he
turned out to be a millionaire and de-
voted husband all heI days.
This story is not exactly to be found in
Bulfnch's age of Fable but it points
moral, nevertheless, such as those old tales
are supposed to indicate.
The woman who, would keep beautiful or
become so must, first of all, be cheerful. A
cheerful spirit is a miracle worker in pro-
ducing faces of the highest beauty, those
that radiate the restfulness of easy and I'M
forced joy of heart.
No one acquires this spirit merely by effort
for the thing itself. There are women who
pretend cheerfulness, practice it because it
seems an accomplishment to be desired.
That kind Of cheerfulness does not give out
the proper radiance.
The woman who has an occupation which
does not oyertax her has the best start in
the quest of a genuinely cheerful spirit. If
she has something to do in which she is
interested she has no time to NOPE, to pine
for the things she may not have and to sigh
for the impossible.
Something to do-that is the secret. Com
planners who do not have to work. who are
weary of being amused, bored, and sulky of
spirit, come out of their complainings if
they forget themselves little while in doing
something to help or amuse someone else
who needs just their help or amusement

swinger must observe great caution, and
that is to hold the clubs securely in the
fingers. The movements are so rapid and
so free that the wooden articles are very

Household Uses Of Kerosene,

Dry the tub first and then rub lightly with
the Kerosene cloth. Every vestige of foreign
matter will disappear, and an instant's
brisk rub with a dry flannel will complete
the task. porcelain tub can be kept fresh

Kerosene will cut the accumulated grease
from the drain pipe of sink, and will keep
the sink itself perfectly sweet and clean.
Kerosene cuts all grease and fats generally;
axle grease disappears before it and tar
softens and fades away. 1t is so volatile
that, if put in dry heat, as near an open
register or oven door, it will quickly eyapo-
rate and leave no stain on the fabric upon
which it has been used.
As a bleacher, kerosene stands high Put
half a teacupful into a washtub of water
and then proceed with the washing after the
usual method. The clothes will be whittier.
sweeter and hygienically much cleaner than
for kerosene is a disinfectant. 1t kills all
invertebrate life, so that many kinds of
germs are utterly destroyed by its use.
Kerosene will clean dirty windows or

make dull brasses shine, if not as well as
some of the acid and brickdust pastes used,
still so well that a little rub frequently
given will keep them in good condition, and
ones hands do not suffer by the process
as they do if the acids are used. After pol
ishirg brass it should be rubbed over with
sweet oil and wiped dry.
In the war with insect life kerosene is a
sure weapon of defense. If the kitchen
table is seized upon by reaches and used as
a nest for their eggs, do not burn it up after
ineffective scrubbing and scaldings. Put it
in the yard and soak it with kerosene Not

ment of clever wife died.
His wife's passion for saving was strong.
even in his death, and though the demands
Of fashion required that she should show
her grief by wearing mourning, they did
not demand that she should be extrayagant.
She was well supplied with clothing, and
instead of putting 1t to one side, to go out
of style through lapse of time, she took
her outer garments to a dyer and had them
changed to the mourning color.
