Counterfeit Gold.

Few persons know that the gold
used in color printing and on picture
frames is made from a composition
powder of bronze and spelter. and
not from pure gold leaf. but which,
however. gives the same effect. There
is another article that is very much
initiated, and that is Hostctter's Bit
tiers. Spurious dealers often refill
the bottles. and thus give them the
same appearance rs the original. but
unless they have our private stamp
nbroken over the neck they are not
the genuine. Refuse all such imita-
tions. The genuine Hostetter's Sto-
mach Bitters has an unequalIed rec

The loss of the old grounds has plac-

with 500 to the good. This would
have met the preliminary expenses

E. E. Raper For Judge.

To the Editor: The Tenth Judicial
Democratic convention meets in Sails
bury July 10, 1902. Davidson county will
present the name of Emery F.. Raper,
Esq, of Lexington, for judge.
Mr.. Paper was born and reared in Day.

his own efforts and received good ,du-
cation After his school years were over

county seat of his native county and be-
came partner of that eminent scholar
and jurist, Hon. Frank c. Robbins. This
partnership lasted some years and was
known as the most prominent and sue
cessful law firm in the county. When
this firm was dissolved Mr.. Raper con-
tinued the practice of law with much
success. He is now in the prime of life,
end from the time he left college has de-
voted himself entirely TO the study and
practice of his profession. He is a law
yer of recognized ability. When other
lawyers can't agree on question OF law
they ask: What does Raper say?' lie
is eminently qualified for the honCfable
position of judge. He possesses all the
mental and moral qualities that make up
judicial temperament.
In politics Mr.. Raper has always been
6 jealous Democrat. Hc has never held
office. In 1894 he was the Democratic
candidate for solicitor. but after hard
campaign at great sacrifice OF time and
means, he, with all other Democrats who
ran for judge that year, went down in de-
feat. If nominated for judge he will be
elected and will go upon the bench with
nothing in mind but the honest discharge
of solemn duty. At his hands ccrpor-
ations and individuals would receive
even-handed justice.
BY all means let the convention nomi-
nate Emery f, Raper for judge. Do this
and there can be no complaint, no bad
feeling, and no grumbling from any
source.

pollen were described. AS the bee, for
instance, reaches down into the flower
for the nectar at it's base, the pollen is
dropped upon it's back, and is taken up
by the ingeniously arranged pistil Of the
flower to be fertilized. The connection
between insects and flowers was shown
by the fact that in the tropics where
there were no honey bees, most of the
flowers We're green; while in this coun-
try. where honey bees were plentiful,
there we're so many beautifully colored
flowers.
The means adopted by nature to pre-
vent pollination, fertilization of a
plant by it's own pollen, were shown, and
they were most ingenious.
Mr.. Finley 1welt upon the great eco
nomic value of cross pollinatiOn in crops
and fruits. He referred to the great
Improvement in tobacco by means of
cross pollination, and gave instances of
fruit trees being made to bear more
heavily by this means.
''Toads and their Economic Value" was
the subject Of Mr.. Joel Watkinds Bull
locks paper. He made it very amusing
describing the peculiarities of the con-
struction of the toads head and mouth.
His tongue is located in the front part of
his mouth, and folds over backwards, so
that when an insect comes near, he opens
his mouth and sticks out his tongue,
catches the insect and turns it back into
his mouth. His eyes are rather peculiar,
too. If you open his mouth very wide,
you can see the imprint OF his eyebails
on the roof of his mouth. So that some
of the hard shelled insects he has to eat
must make his eyes bulge out of his
head. He has to be out at night for the
most part, because that is the time when
his prey moves about.
Mr.. Bullock described very graphically
how he had dissected toads to discover
The exact nature of their food. In pass
ing. he remarked that in all cases the
heart kept on beating all the time, even
though he knew the toads were positively
dead before he commenced operations.
He had found in the stomachs of the
toads beetles, some ants, potato bugs and
a few spiders, besides other matter. AS
NAV be seen from this, their food con-
sists principally of insects that are in
furious to crops. Herein lies the toads
economic value.
Prof. Kesler announced the decision OF
the Judges and awarded the prizes, with
some very fitting and happy remarks.

was impressed especially with the per-

the men had improved materially in
health during their hard work in the
field.

ODElI CALLS BAER DOWN. /
Would Use His Every Power To
Relieve The Situation.
BAER BITTERLY ON UNIONS.

New York, Oct. 13.-"What do you
mean by politicians? want you and
all of the operators to understand that
l am the governor of New York, the
chosen representative of seven million
people and that am here in this mat
ter solely in that capacity, and to
relieve, if possible, an intolerable sit
uation. And what is more, l intend
to use every power in my command to
do It,"
Governor Odell made this statement
to President Baer of the Reading road,
in the presence of United States Sena-
tors Platt of New York, and Quay and
Penrose of Pennsylvania. 1t was the
elimination of heated interview in
the office of Senator Platt and the
result of the meeting between Gov
ernor Odell and President Baer.
The conference was begun by a state
ment made by Senator Penrose that
the situation was becoming so serious
that some sulution must be found at
once. He suggested that tho operators
should incline to some concessions
toward settlement.
"If you mean by that" said Presi-
dent Baer, "that we are to recognize
the existence of a labor union, tell
you right now that the operators will
consider no such proposition.
Governor Odell was on his feet in an
instant. Holding a half-burnt cigar
in his hand, and white with excite
ment, he said:
"Are we to understand that no kind
of concilliatory proposition will receive
consideration at the hands of the
operators?"
81 did not say that" answered Mr.
Baer, "but do say, and reiterate,
that we will not accept political advice
or allow the interference of politicians
in this, our affair"
Then it was that Governor Odell
made the statement attributed to him
at the beginning of this article.
II believe" said the governor, "that
your position from public view is alb
solutely untenable. If coal operators,
railroad men and other business men
can combine for mutual profit and
protection, there is no reason why Ia
boring men should not"
Later Governor Odell said: "The
coal operators may postpone this mat
tsr, but don't propose to postpone it.
They are not acting fairly toward the
people. l believe 1 shall find some
remedy"

Baltimore, Oct. s.-Governor Smith

from Mayor Mayberry of Detroit, re-
questing the appointment of delegates
to a convention to consider the coal
situation declines to appoint delegates
because in his Judgment such a con-
vention can exercise no authority or
constraining influence upon operators
or mines to end the strike, such con-
vention would only result in forming
public opinion.

AND MITCHELL.
The President Makes Proposition
]
To Mitchell.
IT is UP TO THE MINERS.

Washington, d. c., Oct 9.-President
Roosevelt has requested Mr.. Mitchell,
president of the Mine Workers union
TO use his influence to induce the men
to go to work with this promise of the
appointment of the committee to inves-
tigate their grievances and further
promise that the president will urge
upon congress legislation in accordance
with recommendation of that com
mittee. No reply has yet been received
from Mr.. Mitchell.
The president sent Carroll D. Wright,
commissioner of labor, to Philadel-
phia to meet Mr.. Mitchell and Mr..
Wright has reported that after the
proposition had been submitted, Mr..
Mitchell said that he wanted to take it
under consideration. The miners
unions are voting upon the question of
whether they shall continue the strike
but this is upon the proposition of the
coal operators and not upon the sug-
gestion of the president to Mr.. Mitch:
ell. 1t is expected that the miners will
take up the suggestion of the president
and decide on it after it has been pre-
sented to them by Mr.. Mitchell.
Commissioner of immigration Sargent,
returned from Philadelphia but had no
information to communicate as he did
not see Mr.. Mitchell in that city.
The following statement was made
at the white house:
Hon. Carroll D. Wright, commits
sioner of labor, went to Philadelphia
and took to Mr.. John Mitchell, the
following from the president: If Mr.
Mitchell will secure the immediate
return to work of the miners in the
anthracite regions, the president will
also appoint committee to investigate
thoroughly into all matters at issue
between the operators and miners and
will do all within his power to obtain
a settlement of those questions in
accordance with the report of his COM
mission"
Mr.. Mitchell has taken this matter
under consideration, but the president
has not yet been advised of any de
cision
