ONLY THE WHOOP
OF JOYFUL SMITH SUPPORTERS
IS VET TO COME IN THE ~
CONGRESSIONAL RACE.
Judge Smith Has So Votes
The Indications are That he VIII be
Nominated by Acciamation at
Mineral Wells July 9Th.

Saturday was another field day
for Judge w. r. Smith for con-
gress, and his gallant Flying
Squadron made the most gallant
fight of the entire campaign.
Taylor county. with four votes,
came boldly into the Smith col
umn, followed by Callahan with
B, Stephens with B, Scurry 1,
Concho 1, and Edwards 1, making
a total of 10 more votes gained
that day. In Palo Pinto the Sec
rotary of the convention refused
to announce the results of the
first ballot, and a Mineral Wells
box Immediately changed to
Jones, and through little trig-
gerwork, the county was given to
Jones. This reduced Smiths
original As votes to 40, and the IL
new votes added thereto gives
him total of 58, just 8 more
than he needs to obtain the nom
nation on the first ballot, and
just six short of the number
claimed by the Clipper last week.
Had it not been for the detection
of Palo Pinto, the Clippers fig
ures would only been one short
of the actual result.
Judge Smith has made a noble
and manly fight, and now that
the prize is within his grasp, has
nothing but the most kindly feel
ings for all those who allied them
selves under the opposition BAN
ner. He will be nominated at
Mineral Wells on July 9Th, and
will be just as much the rep
resenative in congress of those
who opposed him as those who
supported him. He will reflect
credit upon the entire district and
will not represent one little corner
and misrepresent the remainder.
Judge Smiths friends believe he
will be nominated by reclamation
at Mineral Wells, and the Clip
per truly hopes that such will be
The case. That his late oppo-
nents will accept the expressed
will of the people of the district
in good faith, and make the Min
eral Wells convention veritable
love feast of the unterrified DEM
ocracy of the sixteenth congress
sional district.
There will be 8S votes in the
convention instead of 81, as has
been generally believed. Fisher
county is entitled to two votes IN
stead of one, as enormously re-
ported in the secretary of states
report. The county records show
she polled 451 Democratic votes
in the last state election, and that
fact will be demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the Mineral Wells
convention. To nominate, AL
votes will be required, and Judge
Smith has plenty and to spare.
In the language of The San An
gelo Press sit is all over now but
the whoops of joy from the Smith
supporters" and every true Dem
ocrat in the district is invited to
take part in the whooping, says
the Colorado Clipper. Following
is the instructed vote of the dis
trict:

King of the Liars.
(Chatham Record.)


An anonymous scribbler, signing him
self Rex" alleges that the Chatham
stock law, enacted by the last Legisla-
ture, enters into the negros cabin and
sets his children as sovereigns and auto
Gratis over the poor white man and his
children" He also says that the names
of negro babies, who own land. have been
used to establish stock law in Chatham
county"
OF course this is as false as it is ridi-
culous, and would not be believed by any
body but one whose mind is so darkened
by prejudice or ignorance as not to he
able to discern the truth from falsehood
or light from darkness.
THE Senator from Chatham" who has
been so much slandered because he was
the author of that law, advised the
County Commissioners, when the ques-
ton was first presented to them, that nc
land owner under u years of age could
sign a petition for the stock law This
opinion was concurred in by the attorney
of the commissioners (Mr. J. A. Giles
and was promptly adopted by them
And no child either white or black, has
ever been counted on any petition fol-
the stock law.
The word REX" is Latin word thai
means King" and if the scribbler who
thus signed his communication is &
king" sure enough he must be tbs
king of liars"

man will deny that the evils which the
South foresaw in the sixties, and which
she went to war to avert, were not, and
are not now, real and growing evils. 1t
is. of course. possible that the South,
even if let alone, might not have solved
the two great questions any better than
the North has done. She surely could
not have blundered more egregiously. But
there is every reason to presume that
she would. For as l have stated. her
vision was clear, and enabling her to
take the true measure of these two
great questions. Surely the mon who
sees the precipies ahead is in less
danger, therefore, than the blind man
who does not see it at all.

1t is a good service TO the State to
warn the people about bad thing Some
two or three weeks ago the News and
Observer published the doings of troupe
of show people that were coming TINS
way. The News and Observer ran the
back track on them. 1t didn't stop them
from showing in Raleigh, but Wilson.
Fayetteville Greensboro, Durham, Cnar-
lotte and possibly other towns did not
have the troupe to visit them. In some
cases the opera house people sat down
on them fiat: in others they just didn't
turn up because the folks had heard OF
them ahead. This is all so good. Pre-
ventive medicine is far better than
remedial All parties are better off than
if this company had come and had oeen
arrested and jailed after their show mad
been pulled off The best way to cure a
disease is not to have it.
The pure press is a Waterman on the
walls to warn the people. The news
paper that is looked to by the people to
give them the right and the truth and
fails to warn them against the bad is
dangerous guide. If a man, who profess
es TO be a friend, lets man go ahead
into danger and fails to warn him, when
he can. he is just as much an enemy as
the man who pushes him in. news
paper is run for something more than to
give the news and get in return a living
from the people. 1t does our heart good
to see a newspaper, called secular, come
out with manliness and courage and
fight the wrong regardless of who advo-
Gates it. 1t does not take much courage
to fight fer ones party or ones church,
but to run up a sign Il am against evil
eternally' means that that man has a
backbone.
North Carolina is never benefited when
bad show or anything else bad hits 1t
broadside and passes from town to town
debauching and cursing. The good Chris
ton people of the State can run the
great public evils out just whenever they
want to. Say, will you do it?

ANY ONE CAN
Prove The Value of Scientific Food.

A good straightforward test of food is
worth much to humanity. The follow
ing is interesting:
Mr.. T. X Durboraw of Greenfield ONO,
says: After three months sickness with
grip | found l had lost AZ pounds, with
little appetite and almost no digestion.
Wife finally put me on Grape-Nuts and
actually lived on this food, taking 1t
three times a day, and a cup of Postum
Coffee at each meal for about four weeks
When | began l was so nervous and
weak that my strength was exhausted
even by dressing, and, of course, | was
unable to do the work loaded upon my
desk. but / hammered away without any
tonics or medicines, only my diet of
Grape Nuts and Postum three times a
day. ! found at the end of % days my
nervousness gone, strength greatly in
creased and that had gained Is pounds.
Finally after getting back to good
health again |, of course. took on dl1er-
ent kinds of food, and, as a change, began
using for breakfast. After awhile
some peculiar spells began to appear
in the morning with deathly sickness and
nervous lassitude. l took treatment for
biliousness but that did not avail.
About a month ago l gave up the ---
for breakfast and took on Grape-Nuts
again. These morning attacks left me
entirely in a day or two and ] feel that
have had sufficient evidence of the
scientific value of Grape-Nuts as a vital
izing. perfect food, that does not require
the heavy work of the stomach occasion
ed by the use of starchy foods we use so
much nowadays
