THE GUBERNATORiAI SITUATION.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
AS your readers will doubtless want
to know how the situation stands be-
tween the candidates for Governor, l
will quote from the Washington letter
to the News and Observer of May s:
maj. Chas. M. Steadman, who has
been actively identified with Mr..
Kitchin's gubernatoria1 campaign,pre-
dicted victory today. Mr.. Kitchin is
going to win out at Charlotte. The
drift of sentiment is with him and his
vote will continue TO grow. AS for
Guilford county it will roll up a great
vote for the Fifth District Congress
man, OF his l am certain, for I know
the situation."
Mai. Steadman being a good poll
tician and living in Greensboro. the
Gate City of the State, is in a position
to confer with ali the travelling men
and learn the drift o public sentiment,
and his opinion should have weight.
Mai. Steadman, it will be remembered
was a candidate for governor three
years ago.
Kitchin is a great big hearted, true
noble man and we need him at the
helm Of State.

What the Civic Improvement League
Would Like to See lnaugurated.H

1t is but fair to say that the trash
laden back yards harbor more disease
germs than all else in a city. The back
yard, in which grass is rarely or never
;ut, to the surface of which n rake is
:arely applied, and into which all rub
Dish IS pitched, is the source from
which bad smells, insects and disease
germs come.
This back yard question goes to the
root of good citizenship, for no man
who offends and Injuries neighbors as
we'll as himself by maintaining a cult
cred, unwholesome back yard is a
good citizen. The issue is one of civic
government, and neglected back yards
md good government are inconsist-
emit.
The back fence may hide some of the
otfensiveness of the back yard, but ii
cannot its smells Or it's in
sects or it's disease germs. When the
city stands ready to remove all trash
and all filth, there is no reason in the
world why any pack yard should be
offensive.
Clean out the back yard, then, and
get it's trash in a condition to be re-
moved by the city's grrbage carts.
This should be done before the heats OF
h summer are upon us. It hould

Keen the Balance Up.

It has been truthfully said hat any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. Nobody
can be too careful to keep this balance
up When people begin to lose APP
ue.ite. or to get tired easily, b least
ianpruduce brings on sickness, weak
ness, or debility. The system needs a
tonic, Graves it; and should not be
denied it: and the best tonic of which
we have any knowledge is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. What this medicine has
done in keeping healthy people heal
thy, III keeping up the even balance
of health, gives it the same distinction
as a preventive that it enjoys as a
cure. It's early use has illustrated
she wisdom of the l saying that a
stitch in time saves nine. Take
Hoods for appetite, strength, and
endurance.

Through the whole broad land
FROM northern lakes to gulf-washed sand,
From eastern ocean to western sea,
Hands are folded in prayer t,day.
And multitudes sing sweet songs of praise.
They give thanks to the Lord of all;
The mighty one; the giyer of all things
good;
The kind and mercifuLone;
The one whose justice is blended with love,
Supreme lOve; love to all
TO the rulers of wealth and power and
gold;
To the hewers of wood, to the diggers O,

L" those who are weary of earthly toll;
10 the mortal who smiles in ermine fair.
AS to those who are weeping in rags on
our stairs,
They give thanks to him
Iii fidttering words and melodies,
In sounding hymns and harmonies,
And forget however sweet may be-
Our songs and our music and melody.
They are nevertheless but barren sounds
Mocklng and empty words of the tongue.
Ii our thanks are not given If given at all,
In the life of our hearts, the love of our soul
To God and to stumbling humanity,
To our brethren in letters and those who
are free
Oh, Lord of us all, let us live like thee.
Then pleasing to thee our praise will be.
