MOORS MAKE A SWOOP.
A Large Force Suddenly Attacks the
French Camp.

Casa Blanca, Morocco. Sunday, Aug.
ia large force of Moors suddenly
descended upon the French camp early
this morning but were driven off after
q sharp conflict. The tribesmen ad-
vanced 70 within 800 yards of the city
when Gen. Drude sent against them un-
dercover of the guns of the war ships a
detachment of so Algerian spahis CArab
horsemen in the French service). The
Moors permitted this small body of
cavalry to advance for half mile unmo-
Tested when they suddenly ambushed
them and in a wild charge got right
among the spahis. The head of a
spahis was cut off with one sweep of
a big Moorish sword. The French Off
Ger in command of the spahis and sew
eral of his men were wounded but the
officer rallied his force and slowly re-
tired, fighting until a large body of
spahis from the town succeeded their
comrades and routed the Moors.
The fighting covered a front CT about
16 miles and lasted from to IL a. m.
The French used field and machine
guns with deadly effect in repelling the
attack of the Moors and shells from the
cruiser Gloire also rendered efficient
The spahis and aharpshooters each lost

turn, but it was dinner time when the
others were through, and he post
poned his visit until this afternoon.
This afternoon he was given the news
of Governor Hoch's intentions.
It is likely that had Governor Hoch
been obliged to choose among the
various candidates, Mr.. Finley would
have landed. A fight has been started
on Finley because of the claim that he
is a corporation man" and that his
partner, John J. Jones, is attorney for
the Kansas Natural Gas company,
which is supposed to be a Standard
Oil concern.
81 have the endorsement" said Mr..
Finley this morning, -'of all five of the
independent oil refneries in my dis
trict- That ought to answer the
Standard Oil charges. AS a matter of
fact, do not believe the Standard Oil
Kansas Natural Gas company, though
a few capitalists happen to be inter-
ested in both concerns
This fight on Finley seems to have
failed in its object. Governor Hoch
himself stated that he did not place
made.
All of the candidates for Judge
Stillwell's position seemed to suit Gov
ernor Hoch first rate, and he was hav-
ing difficulty in choosing among them.
IT find no man in the. district" said
Governor Hoch, "wfo is prominently
fitted for this place. In fact, don't
much like the way this fight is turning
cut 1 don't like to have candidates
come here to solicit Apo intments.
This is the old fashioned way to get a
job, 1 know, but 1 have tried the other
way, of going out and hunting for a
man to fill the job, and like that way
the best.
IT shall communicate with Judge
Stillwe1l about this matter and ask
him to withdraw his resignation. 1t
will then be for him to decide what he
will do"

ART OF SWEEPING.
There Is a Wrong Way and There Is
Right Way to Do This Work.

Everyone does not know how to
sweep a room. 1t requires Skill, COM
bined with patience, to clean room
properly. The chief mistake made
by a. novice is to think she can hurry
through it, and to think the room will
be clean if she takes long, heavy
strokes with her broom. Short, light
strokes which are firm will do the
work as it should be done. 1t is al
ways best to sweep a heavy Brussels
carpet, or one of similar make, once
with the grain, then once across it,
going over each three or four yards
in this way until the entire carpet is
swept; when a carpet is old and evenly
worn this is hardly necessary, but if
it is new, or has any perceptible ridges,
this method should surely be followed.
After going over room thoroughly,
allow the dust to settle, and in ten or
fifteen minutes give it a final brush
ing, sweeping it lightly, and nothing
or ,dampened broom.
Tea leaves scattered over the car
pet are good. They should be squeezed
as dry as possible, and sprinkled over
the carpet before the final sweep.
Another good plan is to sprinkle the
floor before starting to sweep with dry
table salt. The salt seems to brighten
the coIors of a faded carpet as we'll as
to aid in removing dust. When the
second sweeping is over use a, whisk
broom in the corners and around the
edges. After the walls are busted and
the carpet clean it is we'll to wipe off
the surface of the carpet with cloth
dipped. in salt and water which has
been Wrungs ont as, dry as possible.
This Will, remove every trace of dust.
The cloth used for the purpose must
be frequently rinsed- in fresh water,
and then dipped intossthe salted water
again, and wrung out as before. Then
some folks Ike todge:. over the carpet
with ammonia water, but I prefer the
salt, as salt keeps out moths.
1t is needless to say that in sweep
ing as thoroughly as this every article
which is movable. should be removed
FIRST or. busted. and carefully covered

with old sheets. When buying he W
pieces of furniture b., careful to seIect
those that have good, easily moved
casters, so the articles may be pushed
about and the dust be kept from be-
hind and from underneath them.
It is a great mistake to neglect
sweeping as thoroughly as this every
two weeks; if you do the dust becomes
ground into a carpet and helps it to
wear out. Besides, dust discolors it
more, or quite as much, as wear. For
tunately, many houses of today are
Quilt with hardwood floors, so the bur-
den of sweeping is greatly lessened, as
rugs are easily lifted. shaken or beat
en- out of doors. Hardwood floors if
sxyent with a hair brush (instead of a
broom). then rubbed with a little oil,
or simply polished with a waxing
brush can be kept in good condition
with comparatively little labor.-Phil-

Attorneys for Mutual Life May Bring
New Perkins Suit

The probabilities are that the attor-
neys for the Mutual Life Insurance
company of New York will file anew
their suit in the United States circuit
court asking for the exhunation Of the
body of Lucian H. Perkins. A confer
ence of the attorneys was held this af-
ternoon in Topeka and as a result of
this it Is stated the suit will in all prob
ability be filed Immediately. The suit
will be filed on the law side and not on
the equity. Judge Smith Mcpherson in
an opinion rendered Saturday held that
it was not a matter which could come
under equitable jurisdiction; this will
mean that the results of the autopsy
will be submitted to a jury at a later
session of the circuit court though it
will not be necessary to wait until this
winter before exhuming the body.

Care of the Teeth

The first requisite in the care of the
teeth is good stiff brush, in which
the bristles stand in little tufts rather
than all of an even length. With this
style brush the bristles will more
readily pass into the spaces between
the teeth and into the pits on the sur
faces of the teeth and reach the
places where decay most frequently
commences, This brush should be
used after every meal, care being taxi
en- to reach every surface of the teeth
and not merely the visible parts. Once
a day good tooth powder or paste
should be used with the brush. at the
other times merely cold water or wa
ter together with a few drops of some
antiseptic mouth wash sprinkled on
the brush is sufficient. The tooth
pick and dental floss are very useful
adjuncts where particles of food are
lodged between the teeth. In addi-
ton to this the teeth should be thor
ough1y cleaned by a dentist once
year, at which time he can attend to
any other necessary work.

also in showing the deep study the
speaker had given the subject and his
consecrated purpose in impressing the
Importance of the Sunday school in the
christian life.

scented, from a layman's standpoint,
by MI. w. D. Herring, of New Hope.

Mr.. j. M. Broughton, Of Raleigh, were
welcome visitors and their excellent

A GOOD MAN GONE.
Beath of Mr.. Jno. Haywood Edwards.---

Citizen.

The entire county will be deeply sor-
rowed to learn of the death of Mr.. John
Haywood Edwards, after a protracted
illness, at his home on his fine farm in

AS a man he was the soui of honor,
as a citizen he was patriotic and public
spirited, as a democrat he was true to
his convictions, as husband and father
he was a model, as a Christian he was
''unspotted from the world" and now,
having measured the allotted span Of
life, with its duties all nobly done, he
goes to "his long home' in the blessed
assurance that in the flesh he shall yet
see God.
His wife, who was Miss Fannie Dem
mark, q sister of Messrs. Willis n
Buck Denmark, of this city, preceded
him to the gravelsome 20 years ago, and
he is survived by five sons, all grown,
who have the sympathy of all our peo-
pie in their sad bereavement. They are
Messrs. James, of Rocky Mount, Dan
iel, of Wilmington, George and Robert,
of this city, and Charles, who resides
| at the home with his father.
The funeral will be held from the
home this Thursday afternoon at l
