The efforts Of certain interests to
Secure the closure OF the Conduit road
as a public highway because Of the re.
cent actions Of the Glen Echo officials

along q part ofthat thoroughfare have
reached the point Of a reference Of
the question to the Attorney General.
The Judge Advocate General Of the
Army has already ruled that the Con.
duit road Is a public highway, basing
his decision on the acts Of Congress
which annually appropriate for The
repair and maintenance OF the road.
The chief Law officer Of the govern.
ment may Of course override this flnd.
ing and crafty those who are forcing
the Issue.
whatever comes OF the appeal from
the Judge Advocate Generals ieci.
sion, the move strikes this commun.
sity as q petty maneuver, very much
sof the dog.ln-the.manger variety. The
whole trouble arises from a perfect
- sensible endeayor on the part Of
certain Maryland authorities to safe.
y guard life on the main street OF their
4 town. In this effort they have arous.
ed the resentment Of small per.
centage Of the District people who
have acquired the habit Of speeding
their motor cars beyond the limits set
by the Glen Echo town council. Had
littnot; been for the discontinue OF the
diplomats who were overhauled In or.
der TO be identified the matter would
never have come to focus.
Conduit road has been a public
highway for many years. 1t has been
used as such not only by the local
public, In pursuit OF pleasure, but by
"a large number OF people living In
Maryland, who have found It their
8ehief means Of entrance into The Dis.

serious hardship upon thousands. It
may be questioned. without trench.
Ing upon the Attorney Generals prov.
inee in the matter, whether the Uni.

vested rights In the enjoyment OF the
sthoroughfare which cannot be de.

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does a head line SINH
lar to the above greet US In the news
papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness of the American people has a strong
tendency to lead up to valvular and other
affections of the heart, attended by ir-
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ingredients of
which DR.. Pierce'S Golden Medical Dis
of the leading writers on MGteTtG Medjc0
for the cure of just such cases. Golden
Seal root, for instance, is said by the
UNITED STATES DIsPENsAToRY, a stand
ard authority, ITO impart tone and in
creased power to the hearts action"
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system in general,
and as the heart is almost wholly COM
posed Of muscular tissue, it naturally
follows that it must be greatly strength
ened by this superb, general tonic. But
probably the most important ingredient
of HGolden Medical Discovery so far
rs its marvellous cures of valvular and
other affections of the heart are con-
cerned, is Stone root, or COIbinsOniG CGfl.,
Prof. VIM. Paine, author of Paine's
Epitomy of Medicine, says of it:
at, not long since. had a patient who was
90 much oppressed with valvular disease OF
the heart that his friends were obliged to
carry him upstairs. he, however. grauualIy
recovered under the influence of C~ollinsonin
medicinal principle extracted from Stone
root. and is now attending to his business.
Heretofore physicians knew OF nc, remedy
for the removal of so distressing and so dam
gerous q malady. With them it was all
guess work. and it fearfully warned the
afflicted that death was near at hand. Col
linsonin unQuestionably affords relief in
such cases. and in most instances effects q
cure.7
Stone root is also recommended by Drs.
Hale and Ellingwood, of Chicago, for
valvular and other diseases of the heart.
The latter says: UIt is a heart tonic OF
direct and permanent influence"
UGolden Medical Discovery" not only
cures serious heart affections, but is a
most efficient general tonic and invigor-
ator, strengthening the stomach, invig-
Orating the liver. regulating the bowels
and curing catarrha; affections in all
parts of the system.

Another Word In Brief.

The purposes Of my article were of q
general character and no criticism of
any individual or particular newspaper
was intended. 1 did not have in mind
Senator Hollis reply to Mr.. Buxton, The
Southern Tobacco Journal, or anyone
else whom he ~conceives has misrepre-
sented him. ae was perfectly right in
setting himself straight. Ny point is,
that the effort of Q few newspapers, en-
couraged by n small number of design
ing men, TO create dissens ions in the
ranks of the democratic party should be
discouraged. There is no reason or ex-
cuse for anything of the kind and the
people r becoming disguised and i'm
patient with the entire proceeding.
They are not disposed to become involV-
ed in any fractional strife on account of
disagIeements over matters which came
up for discussion during the session of
the recent General Assembly and the
effort 10 draw them in smacks of ipjus-
tice and imposition. However, as prev
iously suggested, the folks will at the
proper time, take charge of their bust
ness and ''give the high-bounce" to all
disturbers, be they radicals or "con-
s~ervatives."
The newspapers of the State will con-
fer a great favor upon their readers by
discussing real issues and printing the
news, instead of writing ''cock and bull
stories" concerning matters which
should have no consideration in the Of
fee of any democratic journal. 1t should
be remembered that the abuse of Marion
Butler by the newspapers elected him
to the United States Senate and If they
should happen to succeed in bringing
about division in the democratic party
again, q similar result might fellow. If
there be evidence of a 'split' why not
write articles of a conciliatory rather
than ar inflammatory character? 1
am glad to find men like Senator Holt
endorsing my position in this matter
and thank him sincerely for the very
kind sentiments contained in his letter.

To the Editor:-The article in your
paper headed The People Want Peace
and written by M. L. Shipman is so
timely that / am constrained to depart
from my rule never to rush into
print and endorse the same.
In my opinion the article is worth
italicizing and running as a morning
tonic for a week or 50. Verify the peo-
pie want peace, and there is no excuse
for troubling them with "raw-head and
bloodv-bones'' tales about that most
chimerical dragon-a split in the Demo-
cratic party.
OF course, there were differences of
opinion among Democrats in the Legis-
lature There had to be. There were
not enough Republicans there to get up
q difference with and your ANCHOR
''angry"-Saxon has to riffer. It's his in
herltance. It's his raising. Why there
is not a breakfast table in the State

people with straight noses and who read

Tar Heel is a vertebrate and whenever
two or three of these are gathered to-
gether there will generally be a distri:
button of fur. That's all there is to the
much talked about split in the demo-
cratic party. Who are the spliters?
Who is going to hold the wedge and
who use the maui? Has any one said be
was going to split? Has any specific in
dividual served notice that he was get
ting ready to cruak? That split is as
much q creature of the imagination as

Dear Slr:-
l read your article in the News and
Observer and believe you are entirely
right; for as I said in my speech at the
Greensboro banquet, we are under the
same flag, each trying to do not only the
best for the State but for that party on
which the States prosperity depends.
| However, the Charlotte Observer

days Raleigh Times) continues to make
the fight On those of us who thought it
best to redeem the party pledges in the
latest platform. Mr.. Buxton thought
proper to impugn the motives of those
of those of us who were against him,
specifying myself and Senator Reid, by
implication at least. Later the Southern
Tobacco Journal criticised my statement
in my Antitrust speech. I have felt
impelled to reply to these criticisms.
Nevertheless. If those who are making
these efforts to control the Democratic
party will q their efforts to misrep-
resent those whose crime consists in fol-
lowing. the platform I know of nc one
believing with me who would wish to
continue.
l trust your article will do good. It is
well written and you are right. In my
opinion, the Democrats are going to dis
regard these Efforts to foment strife.
Again thanking you for your wise
words, | am Yours very truly,

HOW MUcH7

Just as a cold, deliberate business
proposition, how much would you give
for business institution of consider
able magnitude that will pay one hun
dred cents on the dollar on the money
invested? You would want such an
enterprise established in our midst,
would you not, and you would be will
ing to subscribe literally to its cap
ital? This is exactly the kind of bust
ness proposition presented to the city
now in the proposed Baptist college
to be established in Eastern Texas,
and which can be secured for Pales-
tine If our people want it. We are
talking, too, about dollars and cents
profits. This lis the smallest of the
good to come from such a school. Its
value as builder, an educator, a
moral factor, is beyond prophecy or
contemplation. But we prefer to dis
cuss it here as strictly money value
investment for the town. Such a
school would pay back in business
every dollar invested in it, and every
legitimate business interest would
profit in the revenue derived from the
school. The grocer, the butcher, the
dry goods man, the public service con-
Germs, the preachers and the news
papers. Get it into your head, good
citizen. that it is proposed to establish
a college that will rank with any col
lege in the State, and which is ex-
pected to draw patronage from all of
this great East Texas territory 1t
will bring people here if located here,
not only as pupils, but families will
move to the town because of the SUI
perior educational advantages
This being so, it needs no further
argument to guarantee the value of
such school in our midst The point
Of value then being settled, Il is next
In order TO get busy and secure the
school. And in this connection we
are going to be frank and fair with
our rival towns, by saying that if we
get 1t we will have to pay literally
Three other towns are after this
school, and that means they are after
II to get it. If Palestine wants the
school she may expect to pay liber-
ally. Let us not underestimate the
