It is rumored that an effort is
to be made this fall to defeat J.
H. Mckenzie for sheriff of Rowan
county. Just what form this eff
fort will take, how it will mani
fest itself, or whether any such
effort will be made at all, we do
not know. But we do know that
the Democratic party of the coun-
ty must keep it's eyes open and be
on the alert to promptly squelch
any attempt to lead it into the
camp of the enemy. Mr.. McKen-
zis is the man the people chose as
their nominee, and in an honest
primary, which choice was later
ratified by a properly constituted
convention. The people chose
Mr.. Mckenzie because they wanted
him, and we believe the members
of the party in Rowan will see to
it that he has a rousing major
ity. That he will have opposition,
is almost a foregone conclusion,
but there is not a man in the
county who can touch him on
election day if the Democrats do
their duty as we feel sure they
will. 1t is a little over four
months yet until the election, and
during that time we need not be
idle. We can talk our candidate
and aboom himson all suitable &C.
casions and thus arouse a "Mc-
Kenzie" sentiment which cannot
be overcome. There is no ques.
ton about Mr.. McKenzie's cleo
ton, but we want to work during
the next few months 80 that our
labor will show a handsome ma
jority on election day. Our can.
didate will soon be out in the
field himself and will visit voters
in different sections of the county.
We have the State convention off
our minds now, and as the matter
of our sheriff and the rest of the
county ticket Is closer to us at
this time than anything else in
the political arena, we want to be
up and doing. Let every Demo
GRAFT work for Mckenzie from now
until election day.

DR.. J, S. Holland, the we'll

something to this effect: "When
I see a lot Of young men turned
out of a medical college with their
diplomas, and later pee them set
forth armed with ntruments

breathe a sigh for poor suffering
humanity" DR.. Holland would
havernever made such a remark
about'the class Of nurses which was
graduated last week at the graded
school building The vocation OF
a woman is prominently that of
nursing the sick, tenderly caring
for the suffering, and doing what
she can to allay pain, whether 1t
comes in a bodily or mental form,

and one which but serves to de-
velop and make lovelier the Wo-
manhood in them. We Wish
them lives of usefulness and pros

This map was authorized by the

KITCHEN THE WINNER.
He Is Nominated for Governor on the 6lst.
Ballot. A Long and Hard Struggle.

The recent State Convention,
held in Charlotte, will pass into
history as the occasion of n of
the hardest fought political bat
ties ID the history of the State.
There were three candidates for
governor, W. W. Kitchen, Locke
Craig and Ashley Horne, all good
men and good Democrats. The
friends of each made a great fight
for four days, and then the Horne
forces seeing their was no chance
for the nomination of their man,
withdrew his name from the race.
Then, on the 61st ballot, Mr..
Kitchen secured enough votes to
give him the nomination, which
was promptly made unanimous.
After sthe nomination of Mr..
Kitchen, which took place Satur-
day night the convention adjourn
ed until Monday.
The question of the nomination
of delegates to the national con-
vention coming up, Senator Over
man was placed in nomination and
was elected in spite of his protests.
Gov. Glenn, Senator Simmons and
Maj. Hale, Of Fayetteville were
also chosen as delegates. The
alternates are Julius S. Carr, John
Bailey, E. F. Watson and W. L.
Parsons.
J. Bryan Grimes, B, F. Dixon,
J. Y. Joyner, Jas. R. Young and
B. F. Lacy were re-nominated for
the Offices they now hold, respect
fully: Secretery of State, Auditor,
Superintendent CT Public Instruc-
ton, Insurance Commissioner and
Treasurer.
T. W. Beckett, of Louisburg,
received the nomination for at
torney general, Hayden Clement
withdrawing from the race after
the seventh ballot. The young
man made a very neat speech in
Withdrawing his name and made
a most favorable impression upon
the Convention.
The other officers nominated
were, for Commissioner of Agri-
culture, W. A. Graham; for Com
missioner of Labor and Printing,
M. L. Shipman; for Corporation
Commissioner, B. F. Aycock.
The administration of Gov.
Glenn WAS endorsed, simultaneous
primaries recommended, and in
structed the delegates to the
National Convention to vote for

condition was doubtless almost
hopeless from the beginning Of

It is true that he was mallgned

DURUM WHEAT.
A Grain That Is Steadily Increasing In
Popularity.

A Grain That Is Steadily Increasing In
Popularity.
There is a steadily increasing pro-
duction of durum wheat in northern
Minnesota and North Dakota and In
the arid or semiarid sections Of other
states.
The big Touring mills have not as yet
adapted their machinery to the proper
grinding of durum wheat, says an ex-
pert. They find the grain too rich in
gluten and too hard for their present
installment Of rollers. The elevator
men don't handle it freely because 1t
necessitates special bins. But the ex-
porters take it eagerly.
Durum is sometimes called macaron1
wheat because its main use up to this
time has been for the manufacture OF
macaroni. The French, however, who
are accounted the best cooks in the
world, have employed it quite exten-
sively In breadmaking, and 1t Is as
serted that the bread made from 1t is
most nutritious as well as light and
appetizing. There is no reason why II
should not be.
Gluten Is a muscle former. In 10C
ounces Of lean beefsteak there are
eighteen parts of muscle formers. In
100 ounces of ordinary bread there are
seven to eight ounces Of muscle form
| ers, in 100 ounces of potatoes two
ounces, in 100 Il Of milk four, but
in 100 ounces Of macaroni or bread
made from durum wheat there arr
said to be from eighteen to twenty
ounces of muscle forming material.
Admitting the food value of this va
riety of wheat, the temptation to thu
farmer to whose land it Is adapted
Is almost irresistible when a wheat t.
plant is chosen. 1t is a plant tina
stands drought much better than othe;
wheat 1t is so hardy and thrift.
that It is usually exempt from rus
and smut and bugs.
The average yield Is high, often from
80 to 100 per cent greater than that o
the old varieties Of wheat grown II
the same district. 1t seems certain
that durum is destined to prove
blessing to the farmers.

ON CoWPEA o
making 1t available as plant food. In
this respect they rank close to clover
and alfalfa and have the additional ad-
vantage of being able to grow on land
where no one would even think Of SOW
Ing alfalfa.
Like the other legumes, they may
need to have the soil inoculated with
bacteria, and this may be done either
by scattering dirt from a good cowpea
| field over the patch to be sown or prob
ably by scattering the manure of ami
mails fed on cowpea hay. When inocu-
lated they will fix as much nitrogen in
the soil in 60 to ITO days as clover Will
In eighteen months.
The nodules on the roots of a COW
pea, the top Of which was thirteen
inches high and bore ten pods, are
shown in the accompanying picture.
On stronger land the yield of peas was
less per plant and there were fewer
nodules on the roots, owing to the fact
development of big vines, some OF
them being four feet long. From this
it is easily seen that the fertilizing
value of the root decreases as the soil
Increases in richness, while the con-
trary Is true of the fertilizing value of
the top.
The picture shows more plainly than
can be told in words the benefit to be
derived by leaving the cowpea roots in
the ground when the crop is harvested.
In order to prevent as much as posi-
BILE the waste of nitrogen by evapora-
ton and the washing of soil by storms
the field can be seeded to rye immedi-
ately after harvest. The rye will alb
sorb the fertllizing properties as they
become free and keep them in storage
till spring, when it a be plowed I'M
der, giving the soil not only the fertil-
ity gathered by cowpeas, but also that
gathered by the rye, with the addition
of humus, of which u poorer fields
are greatly in need.
Cowpeas will not grow in a cold soil,
but will lie there and soon rot. For
this reason they should not be planted
until two or three weeks after corn
planting time. Stir up a good seed
bed and double the rows with a corn
planter, put In shallow and SOW five
to eight quarts per acre. These will
have to be cultivated two or three
times, but you should not plow them
while they are wet either from rain or
dew or the dirt will stick to them and
they will rot. If you use the drill, SOW
three to five pecks per acre, putting
them about n and one-half inches
deep. They will need no further cult,
walton unless there comes u raAn hafore
they get through the ground. In case
of rain harrow lightly to break the
crust or most of them will fail to get
through.
