A prominent Bath man who has
tried it says. "People who imagine
that the only time of the year to take
a sail to Boothbay and the islands is
in the warm months of July and Au-
gust should put on their heavy
wraps, take steamer rug if they
have one and some of these fine
mornings take the boat for Booth
bay. They are free from the jostling
of crowd and are taking a sail
much as If on their own private
yacht. The scenery which is the
pride of this locality is now in full
gala dress. The briliancy of the
foliage is grand. From the softest
shades of pink and yellow to the
brightest of reds and the richest of
yellow. thanked by pinks and salmon,
backed by the deep green and almost
blackness of the evergreens. one can
find almost any shade that the artist
uses. Moreover such a trip on one Of
these bright fall days is full Of invigo-
ration and makes the blood tingle with
delight. One appreciates hot dinner
and an evening by the open fire seems
lar pleasanter after such an outing"

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disin-
fectant and purifier in nature, but few
realize its value when taten into the
human system for the same cleansing
purpose
Charcoal is a remedy that the moro
YOU take of 1t the better: it IS not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases
and impurities always present in the
stomach and intestines, and carries them
out of the system
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking. or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm

teeth, and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: It
disinfects the mouth and throat. from

DIXIEUAND TO HAVE
REPUBLICAN, DAILY
New Paper Will Make Its Appearance in Greensboro,
N. c., Tomorrow Mornng-Plan Is to Distribute the
Publication All Through the South.

As another evidence of the seriousness
OF Republican political designs on North
Carolina, there will appear tomorrow
morning, In Greensboro. n. c., the first
issue of the Industrial News, the paper
being noted as the only daily Republican
paper in the South which receives a full
press service.
This publication, which has been start
ed with the encouragement. 1t is said,
of no less a parsonage than Mr.. Cortel-
you himself was originated by ex-Sen-
ator Marion Butler and Robert II. Nc
Neill both members of the local bar.
Their idea was that the South needed
an official Republican daily paper which
should not only work on it's editorial
page TO carry North Carolina into the
Republican column, but should also go
throughout the South TO tell on high
plane and In conservative manner Of the
policies Of the Republican party.
1t was located in Greensboro because
OF the railroad facilities there for reach
The Washington times., 1905-10-07

ing all points of the State and many
in the South by the daily mails. Also
there is no other morning paper in
Greensboro OF the proportions the new
sixteen-page daily will enjoy.
Republicans have taken great comfort
to themselves of late because OF the les
sened Democratic majorities in North
Carolina. and it is thought that this
paper Will be an almost incalculable
factor IN helping TO accumulate the
necessary number of Republican votes
TO put the State where the Republicans
want II.
It is interesting to note that the editor
of the paper is r. d. Douglas, a grand
son of the famous Stephen A Douglas.
On the board of directors are leading
members of the party.
In speaking of the aims of the paper
today, Senator Butler said he thought Ii
would carry the State into the Repub-
lican column because IL would show the
people the useIessness of voting for
Democratic doctrines when Republican
policies were TO their advantage, owing
10 the immense manufacturing interests
throughout the State.

spoke briefly but to the point on Ohio's
many achievements. He pictured scenes
of years ago, and then dwelt upon pres
ent-day affairs. and asked his hearers 10
come back and help make the old State
the greatest one in the Union.
One of the things which was the most
pleasing to the many members present
was the fact that five new members
were enrolled. President Symons and
others feel that II they can do as well
at every meeting their society will be
one Of the strongest of It's kind in the
city The new members were Francis
y. Loomis, First Assistant Secretary OF
State; Elmer Dover. secretary of the
Republican National Committee; VIII
liam T. Vickers. Charles +. Miller, and
Harry c. Perdue.
The other speakers Of the evening were
George p. Dunham, Benjamin f. James,
