Blackburn returned last week
from his skirmishing among
Northern money kings. He Sc.
cured $4,000 to assist him in
prosecuting his campaign. It is
the price he is to place upon the
"honest voters of the eighth dis
trict. How many of them will be
bought? We would like for
Stanly county to be firm and let
not a man fall victim to Black
burn. Each voter should main
tain a self-respect that will not
allow him to be bought, persuad-
ed, in any way drawn into voting
for a man whose methods of cam
palgn are a reproach and insult
upon the integrity of an honest
people.
Our New London correspondent
writes: "The most interesting

played here last Saturday between

daily invited to attend.
Those who knew Mrs. J. L. Pal
mer of New London will be griev-
ed to hear of her death. She was
a devout Christian lady, and her
life was a blessing tc all who came
in contact Herewith The SYM
pathy of this community goes out
to her son in our midst and to the
bereaved family.
There are scores of friends here
and in the county of Hugh Turner

row of his death. He was a mem-
Der of the Albemarle VIII olesale
Grocery Company, son of Mr.,

this community shares deeply
with parents and relatives. Mr..
Turner was of modest, retiring
disposition, attentive to business
and was but entering into busi-
ness cares of life which gave prom
ise of bright future.
Saturday afternoon ex-Congress-
man Kluttz was greeted by large
crowd at New London. He made
a strong and able speech, and

his hearers. The democrats at

a blue day for radicals.

People Who Eat clay.

clay eaters are found in the West
Indies. Honduras and some of the re-
gonS round the OrinOco. They are not
necessarily Of any particular tribe, for
even whites have fallen victims to this
degrading and fatal habit. The habtt
is contracted at MS early an age as u
years, and the craving once acquired
appears to be irresistible. Confirmed
clay eaters will lie down ana lick the
earth where the edible clay is found.
They suffer from chronic dyspepsia
and emaciation; but, in spite of the
pain and weakness. they cannot do
without the clay any more than the con
firmed drunkard can do without his al
cohol. In some localities this clay is
whitish gray, sometimes yellowiSh-
pink. There appears to be lime in IT.,
and also the remains of minute organ
isns. 1t is sometimes eaten baked and
sometimes raw.
\ confirmed clay eater will take four,
five. or even six pounds Il day. Water is
drunk with it, At length the habit
seems to give an aversion not only to
other kinds Of food. but also to alec
holic drinks As soon as this stage is
reached the eating Of clay invariably
causes death.

American irrigation was old when
Rome was in the glory of it's youth"
says c. j. Blanchard in The National
topographic Magazine" The ancient
lqueducts and subterranean canals of
South America, extending for thou
sands of miles, once supplied great
cities and irrigated immense areas.
Centuries before the venturous Morse
men landed upon the bleak and inhos-
! pitahlc shores of New England a large
| population dwelt in the hot valleys OF
the far southwest. From the solid
rock, with primitive tools of stone. they
cut bitches and hewed the blocks for
many chambered palaces. which they
erected in the desert or on the lime
stone lodges of deep river canyons.
These voiceless ruins older than the
memory OF many centuries, tell the
story of thrifty, home loving and
spmi-cultured people, concerning whose
fate history brings us no word In
these palaces and in many miles OF
canals we may almost read the story
OF another Egypt-a people toiling I'M
der the burning sun of the desert.
