Men Past Sixty in Danger.

More than half of mankind
over sixty years of age suffer
from kidney and bladder disord-
-ers, usually enlargement of
prostate glands This is both
painful and dangerous, and Fo-
ley's Kidney Cure should be
taken at the first sign of danger,
as it corrects irregularities and
has cured many old men of this
disease. Mr. Rodney Burnett,
Rockport, Mo, writes: I suffer
ed with enlarged prostate gland
and kidney trouble for years and
after taking two bottles of Fo-
Iley's Kidney Cure I feel better
than l have for twenty years,
although 1 am now 81 years old.

An exchange prOnOunceS the
following eulogy on the lazy man:
A lazy man is always good natur-
ed. He never flies into a passion.
He might crawl into one if that
were possible; but the idea of
flying into one is preposterous.
Who ever heard of a lazy man
breaking into a bank where a
crowbar had to be used, or drill
ing into safe? Not but that he
might covet his neighbor's s
goods contained therein, but the
horror of handling crowbar and
drills would always deter him
from actually committing bur-
glary. He never runs away with
his neighbor's wife simply on
account of the horror he has of
running. If he is ever known to
run, it is to run to seed He rare
ly lies about his neigbors, for it
would be to much exertion; but
he lies about a bar-rOom all day
He is of inestimable service to a
billiard saloon, keeping the
chairs warm and watching game,
for few would care to play where
there were no spectators. The
fact that he will do this day in
day out without pay shows his
great unselfishneSS. The lazy
man never gets up revolutions,
instructions or other popular
excitements, and doesn't make a
nuisance of himself by training
about the country making incend-
iary speeches to promote public
discomfort. In his own neighbor
hood he is never busybody in
other peoples affairs, for the very
idea of it. No lazy man ever ran
mad. If he went crazy, it was be-
cause he couldn't go enywhere
else without walking. Lazy men

81 have said that l would appreciate
any honorable efforts that my friends
can put forth in my behalf. Many of

grateful for the honor of even being ask
ed to enter the gubernatorial contest

tion, and every county of the state will

CRAIG A CANDIDATE,
Mr.. Shipman Has Word From.
AsheViIIe That He is in
the Race.
News & observer)

Assistant Commissioner M. L. Ship
man, of the Bureau of Labor and Print
ing, returned yesterday from Hender-
sonville, where he went last Thursday
oy request of the Democratic executive
committee and candidates to assist in the
city campaign, which resulted with
sweeping victory for the democracy ]
Mr.. Shipman is happy oyer the result
and says it is the most sweeping victory
the Democrats of his town have ex-
perienced in twelve years. They have
been playing losing game ever since
1906, when some of their members
joined in Citizens movement with the
Republicans and captured all the offices.
Even after the negro was put out of
politics some Democrats have continued
to affiliate with the Republicans and
make possible. the election of fusion
candidates over straight Democrats.
But the organization never despaired
and this year succeeded in uniting every
fscGion upon the regularly nominated
Democratic ticket. The opposition
made stubborn effort to induce two
Democrats to run on their ticket, but
failed signally and were forced to put
forth straight Republican ticket. On
a poll of the registration the Democrats
claimed majority of ten and the Re-
publicans said they had fifteen to their
credit. The Democratic workers de-
f0 kol 10 oh nd
out with tweuty-eight ''to the good"
marjority nearly three times as large az
they expected.
''Did you hear anything definite re-
garding the supposed candidacy of Hon.
Locke Craig for governorp Mr.. Ship
man was asked yesterday.
'I did," he replied. "Mr. Craig's
friends have lately taken the precaution
to investigate the feeling toward him by
leading Democrats in various sections of
the State and appear to be very much
grained at the encouragement they
have already received. They declare
that his prospects for receiving the
nomination are exceedingly 1attering
and the developments each day confirm
them more strongly in the belief that
he will be nominated. Pledges of sup
port have come in from nearly every
county in the State without regard to
sectisn or previous condition of serYi-
tude. say his friends up there, who are
on the inside, and they firmly believe
he will be. the next governor"
Mr.. Shipman says the democracy was
never in better trim in the west than it
is at this time. The best of feeling pre-
walls everywhere and there Is no indi-
cation of a spread of Republicanism in
that section. The results. of Tuesdays
