Fall Seeding of Alfalfa.

OF alfalfa and a great many are
con'em plating sowing from
small patches TO large fields, |
would like TO give them the bcnc
fit OF what experience | bavc had
along that line.
In the first place ! am i firm
believer IN fall seeding OF alfalfa
ia this climate. South Central
Kansas. You get quicker re.
turns in fall sowing than ~
spring and do not have SO much
trouble with the weeds aud crab

plow tho ground too deep unless
bad lots OF time 10 pack it, AZ
packing the ground IN very cs.
sential to getting a good even
stand. The seed arc small and
will not gcrmina,c and grow

Franklinton Post Office.


We failed to note last week that
change had been made in the Frankllnton
post office About a year ago Il. r,
Cooke was appointed in place oil Mrs
Britt. and it will be remembered, 1T was
generally rumored that the change was
made by Senator Pritchard, at the IN
stance OF local advisers" in the interest
of the White Lilly" movement. II these
reports were true, and we have no reason
to disbelieve them, it seems that the said
local advisers bit off little more than
they could chew. After allowing Mr.
Cooke to serve only about one year he
is asked to step down and out, and Mr..
Billy Harris. who was the candidate OF
the White Lilies for Sheriff against
Sheriff Keaney. is given the post office.
Ben wouldn't pay the price and Billy
would, so that explains it all. 1t is said
that Mr.. Sam Vann was in favor (?) OF
Mr.. Cooke, but that other members of the
so-called white Lilly party, insisted
upon his walking the plank and giving
Billy a piece OF pie" Well, We hope
Billy will enjoy it.

Card From Mrs. Person.
Can 1t Be That Most of
the Ills of Life Can Be
Cnred Through the
Blood

/ have confined the recommendation OF
my Remedy to troubles that had their
origin IN impure blood. or a rundown
system, and yet / know it can do more.
Five years ago my Remedy cured Mrs.
j. S. Thompson of Hasty n. c., OF ladies'
trouble, and since then she has used it as
a family medicine, and now l have hen
testimonial where it carried two OF her
children safely through an attack of ty-
phoid fever.
Ny Remedy cured a case of kidney
trouble in my own family, OF six months
standing, after all medical treatment had
failed, and the party was regarded as a
doomed man. Finding that he was rapid
ly declining, we tried the Remedy, and in
two weeks a great change was apparent,
and in two months he was well, and the
cure was permanent.
l have known it tried in a well known
family in this State, (whosei name / am

patient could not live many hours, and it
cured her. The reaction was immediate.

In the beginning of my business career,
twenty-one years ago. realizing what
powerful agency for relief to the afflicted
was in my hands, | went to the medical
fraternity of Raleigh, and invited them to
investigate my claim that | had a specific
for troubles that came from blood I'M
purity. / invited examination, to the end
that it might be generally used by the
profession, if / could substantiate my
claim. l offered to accept any number Of
test cases that would satisfy them in re
gard to the merit of my Remedy and l
would cure them free. / only asked them
to agree to watch the result of my Rene
dy and if l cured every one, for them to
agree to acknowledge it publicly. But
this they said would be "unprofessional"
and an irregular proceeding and they,
therefore CD declined, although / offered
to give them officially my full formula.
This goes to prove the unbounded con
fidenee l had in my Remedy in the be-
ginning of my work, and it is now estab-
lished on a pedestal none can shake.

section of the State. His old comrades
in arms, now only thin gray line" are
vociferous in their demand that he once
more don that fighting panoply which
he so often distinguished in the field of
battle when but boy, and lead again
in an honorable and victorious charge.
Another class of younger men are also
urging him to run, some because they
love him for what he has done for
Democracy and his State in their fathers
day and because he would be satisfied with
the governorship, and could not be expect
ed to aspire to further and higher posi-
ton. thus possibly thwarting the ambi-
lions of a younger man. But you cannot
get Governor Stedman to say what he is
going to do. lie insists that he is ~verse
to again taking fup the cares of political
turmoil, and especially while every man
who has been mentioned for governor IS
his strong personal friend, for whom he
feels genuine affection and admiration.
This is the way he talks. But a more
modern politician than he, who knows
all about things, says this: You can
safely say that Guilford county viii pre-
sent the name of Charles NJ Stedman to
the convention for governor and will give
him its unanimous and enthusiastic sup
port, earnestly trusting that he will prove
acceptable to majority OF the delegates
there assembled. He needs no eulogy,
for it speaks in the records of the State
from the times which tried mems souls
forty years ago, through all the periods
OF the States distress or prosperity from
then to the present hour" Now that
sounds like Major Stedman is going to be
made a candidate whether or not.
The other most prominently mentioned
receptive" candidate, Hon. R. B. Glenn,
of Forsyth, continues to modestly refrain
from formal announcement, but there
is no doubt but what it will take an abso-
Lutte refusal on his part to prevent his
thousands of friends all over the State
from presenting him as candidate.
stThere is not a nook or corner or 1t,
where his clarion voice has not sounded
out for Democratic success and good gov
eminent, in season and out OF season,
and the eternally grateful East at least
will never cease to love him. This was
the language of visitor from eastern
North Carolina, FROM political storm
center at that Continuing, he SAID: II
Bob Glenn will only say the word, we VIII
pull eff our coats and collars too. and go
to work to make him governor, unless the
word gratitude has been erased from our
political vocabulary" And it looks as II
Col. Glenn will have to make the race.
What a magnificent array of noble North
Carolinians to pick from! What splendid
vista dawns upon the optics Of this cor
respondent. of as good-natured. spirited,
exciting. nerve-wrecking. red hot go as
you please race next year, race with
every entry pedigreed from the blue book
of deeds of daring. and devotion OF the
sons of North Carolina to their mother
One can shut his eyes, put up his money
on either racer. and be pleased even losing,
knowing that the winner was the pure
mettle. ANDREW JOINER.

doing this an immense flash of lightning

her fear. She was perfect conductor and
the electricity was playing prank with
her. Fortunately she escaped injury.

Drink Butter-milk.
(Medical Talk Cor the Homo !

(Medical Talk for the Honey
The hot season is at hand. Busy people
in hot weather frequently find themselves
faint and thirsty, scarcely knowing what
to eat and drink. 1t may be they have
already drunk cold water freely. but it
fails to satisfy They will perhaps resort
to a glass Of beer and a sandwich, blindly
stumbling around trying to find some
thing to fill in the long space between
meals.
Now, what these people want is a glass
of buttermilk This answers the purpose
of both food and drink. People who have
had breakfast at o'clock during the
lot weather, viii iHa themselves more or
less hungry by 1920. Instead of taking
lunch, or getting glass of beer, the very
best thing in the world is a glass of but
termilk
The acid of the buttermilk quenches the
thirst. The nutritiye properties of the
buttermilk makes frst-elass lunch If
nothing is taken with the buttermilk it
will agree with almost any stomach, and
as it contains all of the tissue salts it
makes almost an ideal food. Those who
take dinner at / o'clock will find them
selves wanting something again by or
80 Here is another chance for a glass
of butter milk
Nervous people, thin-blooded people,
people who have dyspepsia, had better
give buttermilk trial. Not too much
should be drunk at any one time, not
more than one glass. It should be at least
two hours and half after eating before
the buttermilk is taken, and no other
food should be taken for about the same
length of time. Those who prefer can add
a teaspoonful of sugar to the glass of
buttermilk. AS tonic and nutritive
there is nothing better in the world.
