MADE GAS FORTY CENTS.
With Low Grade Goals Can Be Re.
duced One-Half.

Manhattan, Kan. Oct 26.-Gas can
be made from the highest price BIZ
luminous coal. for not to exceed forty
cents a thousand cubic feet. Expert
ments conducted in the engineering
department of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college have proved this. Fur
thermore, the tests showed this cost,
with low grade Goals, can be reduced
one-haf.
To utilize this gas effectively, the
college found it necessary to design a
new type of burner and modify ma
terially the connections ordinarily en-
pIoyed in gas plants. When the in
designations under way in this line at
the college are completed, gas will be
available to every public institution
and small village at a nominal cost.

CATARRH OF THE KIDNEYS
NOT ALWAYS RECOGNIZED.
a Cold Settled in Kidneys,
Causing Serious Trouble.
Pe-ru-na Restores Health.

Catarrh of~the kidneys IS a very
much neglected disease.
It is not until the disease has a firm
hold upon the kidneys that the pa
tfent begins to realize that there is
some arrangement of these organs.
The slight backaches, the feelings
of lassitude. and other warning SYM
ptoms of kidney disease are over
looked.
They are not serious enough to de-
tain the patient from his regular
work.
Even when he discovers that the
kidneys are affected, he does not rec
ognize the difficulty as being caused
by catarrh.
Catarrh is sometimes so very grad
ual in its approach and it's earlier
symptoms cause such slight discom-
fort that it is not noticed.
However, when it is once firmly
seated in the kidneys it becomes Off
ficult disease to exterminate.
Indeed, catarrh of the kidneys is
more serious than catarrh affecting
some of the other organs of the body.
In the kidneys it is liable to ter
inmate in Bright's Disease or diabetes,
both of which are recognized as very
serious ailments, if not fatal.
The thing to be done, when catarrh
of the kidneys is discovered, is to
take some internal systemic catarrh
remedy, one that reaches the very
source of the catarrh and removes
the cause of the difficulty.
Such remedy has been found in

BOYS CORN CLUB.

The visit to Washington last week
OF the prize winners in the Boys
Corn Clubs from eleven Southern
States caused much favorable
comment by the Washington news
papers. The Washington Post thinks
it very healthy sign that the South
is turning its attention to raising
more corn, or hog and hominy, as it
terms it. That the methods being
used means an enormous increase in
the aggregate yield of the soil, as
well as a greatly diversified crop sys-
tenn.
The Washington Star. commenting
editorially on the visit of the farmer
boys to Washington. says:
The importance of the Boys Corn
Club movement in the South can not
easily be estimated. Yesterdays
visit of prize-winners to the Depart
ment of Agriculture may be regard
ed as the elimination of the years

But in point of fact it is but the he
ginning Of far more significant ac-
tivity. This movement is accomplish
ing several things. 1t is first of all
tending to diversity the Southern
crops by increasing the acreage de-
voted to corn, which has hitherto
been comparatively neglected prod

work and tending to keep them on

sengers.
Norfolk, Va, Dec. 15.-Fire part
ly destroyed the steamer Maryland of
the New York. Philadelphia and Nor
folk Railroad tonight and three
hundred passengers had a narrow
and thrilling escape from injury or
death.
The Maryland left Norfolk at 6:15
o'clock for Cape Charles, Va. Thir-
ty minutes later, while the steamer
was between Bush Bluff light and
Sewall's Point, a negro deck hand
discovered fire in some cotton in the
freight hold
Mate Foster in attempting to ex-
tinguish the fire single-handed had
to be hauled to safety by means of
a rope, which was passed down to
him from the upper deck.
Eight United States sailors, pas
sengers on the steamer, distinguish
ed themselves for bravery and prob
ably saved the lives of many passen-
gers and prevented the complete de-
struction of the steamer. A sailor
named Stone hung over the sides of
the steamer while several compan-

hands. burst window leading to the
freight hold and turned a stream of
water on the fire. He held this po-
sition for fifteen minutes while the
Maryland was racing with all speed
possible for Sewalls Point to dis
charge her passengers. Most OF the
passengers were at supper when the
fire was discovered.
Had the fire been discovered thirty
minutes later when the steamer
reached the bay. it is believed there
would have been fearful loss of
life. The greatest damage was done
amidship, where the fire started. The
flames reached the upper cabin and
the walls OF some of the staterooms
were badly scorched.
Captain Sadler, commanding the
Maryland. was praised for the way
he handled the Steamer in her race
for safety.
A dozen tugs responded to the
Maryland's distress signals and in q
short time had their streams turned

FRAUD AT THE BALLOT BOX
WORSE THAN ASSASSINATION"


We publish In another column an
account OF the charge which Supreme
Court Justice Garrison in New Jer-
sey made to the jury in that State at
the trial Of several persons indicted
for election frauds. He denounced
the corruption of the ballot box as
one Of the worse crimes against our
form Of government. He closed his
charge with the following statement:
"But a single suppression by
fraud or force of the right of
suffrage strikes at the institution
of government more than would
any number of assassinations of
Presidents or judges or any 9TH
er set of officials"
The judge, in his charge, strongly
urged the jury to rise to their duty
and punish sufficiently and fully
those who dared to commit such
crimes against society and against
our institutions. What a wholesome
thing it would be il some Democratic
Judge in North Carolina would deliv-
er in this State similar sentiments.

The Presidents act has been ae-
claimed by the most thoughtful peo-
pie Of the country from ocean TO
ocean as one deserving Of the high
est praise on account of its non-par-
tisan patriotism. This act should
put to shame forever those small pol
iticians and newspapers who spent
much OF their time In the last cam
paign declaring that President Taft
appointed a Democrat for Judge In
the Eastern District in North Caro-
lima because there was no Republi-
can fit for the place.
No one will charge that President
Taft could not find Republican In

In character and ability TO Justice
White for Chief Justice of the SUI
preme Court. The same Is true as
to his appointment of Judge Lamar.
OF Georgia "a Democracy, as an AS
sociate Justice on the same bench
In this connection it will also be re-
membered that only a few months
ago the President appointed Judge
Lurton, Of Tennessee, Ga Democracy,
as an Associate Justice on the same
bench.
The action of the President in all
of these cases could not be attributed
TO anything but the highest sense of
duty in making the Federal bench, in
a proper measure, non-partisan as it
should be The fact is, that the Su-
Union, as we'll as the Supreme Court
of the United States, should be nom
partisan body; that is, that the min
ority party in every State should
be properly represented on the SUI
preme Court bench of each State.
When North Carolina was last car
ried against the Democratic party, it
elected non-partisan Supreme
Court bench in this State and de-
clared for this principle, which met
the approval of the people. AS soon
as the Democratic machine again
got charge of the State, they spit up
on this principle and at once made
the Supreme Court of our State solid
ly partisan.
Many of the strong Republican
States in the North have a provision
in their State Constitutions giving a
minority of the Supreme Court to
the minority party. Such a provis-
ion shoulr be in the Constitution of
every State in the Union. While
such a provision is not in our State
Constitution, the people at the next
election should put it there by sup
porting the party that stands for this
great fundamentally correct princi-
pie.
