Brewer. Saturday night, admitted
defeat, giving this card to the Com

telephone from his home in Clarks-

Mr. Noel has been selected by a
majority of the Democrats OF the
State as their standard bearer. 1t
would be Improbable and improper
for a loyal party man TO speculate
upon any of the causes which IN his
opinion may have contributed to his
defeat; but it is the plain duty of all
Democrats cheerfully 70 accept the
verdict of the people.

MONDAY UNIVERSAL WASH DAY.
Recognized as Such Over Almost All
the World.

Why does nearly all the civilized
world wash clothes on Monday? What
has Monday TO do with washing? 1t
was originally the moons day and
was sacred to the queen of night.
] read in a schoolboy's history that
the Pilgrims landed on Monday and
the good women Immediately set
about washing the clothes that had
been soiled on the trip over. We
might judge from that alleged fact
that no washing was done aboard
ship; yet the finest place for such
necessary work of sanitation and
blessedness is out at sea where there
is plenty of water and nearly al
ways drying wind.
The voyage of the little Mayfower
lasted Sc days, l believe, and as near
ly as we can now reckon the landing
was made at Plymouth Rock on a
Monday, though some historians in
sist on Friday 1t must have been a
vile and filthy vessel on arrival with
102 passengers and crew going over
two months without washing their
linen. Linen? What did they wear
IN 1920? Can you realize how big
was the Mayfiower? A miserable lit
tie bark of $50 tons Capt John
Smith, or $50 tons according to

ANOTHER RACE PROBLEM.

In the south almost one-half of the
cotton mill operatives 10 to IA years of
age are illiterate and about one-fourth
of those Is to 20 years of age. The
smaller percentage in the older group
of operatives would indicate that a
good many of these children learn to
read and write after they are 10 years
Of age. But the percentage of litter
acy in the older group is still very
high, rendering it probable that large
numbers of these children are de'stin-
ed to remain illiterate for the rest of
their lives.
1t is known to be a fact that more
than one-half of the Southern Afro
Americans can read and write; and,
of course, it is fair inference that
approximately, about three-fourths of
the children of the race are partially
educated. And, furthermore, labor in
the cotton-mills is destructive of the
vitality Of the children. Moreover, the
south derives but little new blood from
the process of immigration. Southern
statesmen would do we'll to consider
these facts; as they indicate solu-
ton Of the race problem which they
