Boy Seven Has Gray Hair.

Bowling Green, KY, Sept. 90
Walter Hunter Covington, 7 year
old, son of James C. Covington, q
farmer, who lives near Bowling
Green, has hair which is more gray
than an ordinary man of go.
The father says that the lads
hair began to turn gray when he
was a little past 8 years old and it
has grown whittier every year. He
cannot account for the fact as there
are none of the child's relatives the
least bit gray. The boys hair is
very white on the top and well
down the sides, but at the bottom
it still retains the ebony hue.
The boy is 50 sensitive to his
hair at times that he will not 90

Tells it This Way.

And here is the maiden, oh. more
than fair, who has robbed the mat
tress of all its hair and fashioned it
up into curliCueS, and rats, and
switches, and puffs to use in assort-
ed styles on her billowy crown.
She puts it up and she takes it
down and hangs it on bureau and
stand and chair till it swings and
bangles from everywhere; with pins
and glue she sticks and stuffS her
own hair with ringlets and frillS
and puffs that wave on her forehead
and cover her neck and piles in
bales on her quarterback. She has
braided switches, and rolls, and
frills, and pins. and old goOsequills
that she smooths and sticks and
stuffs and stabs and bangles and
does into dingledabs. Then she
stuffs it high with old bed springs
and pillows and bath towels and
other things and sinks in her chair

If.sheep are kept in the same lot
with cattle, no dogs will disturb
them. AS soon as dogs approach
them, the sheep run to the cattle
who drive off the dogs. A farmer
in Shelby county adopted this plan
thirty year ago, and has been using
it ever since without the loss Of a
sheep, while farmers about him
lost them.--Frapkford Chronicle.

Business PreceptS.

Be bigger than your business.
Don't be grum when waiting on
customer. May be he feels bad
( too.
Treat your help courteously. They
are human and may have trouble
of their own.
Take an afternoon off and pay a
social visit to your competitor
He'll enjoy seeing you and you'll
both learn something.
If you're sick and can't be pleas
ant, 90 home and you will save
money. Your wife is used to you
and won't pay any attention.
Make a friend of the travelling
salesman. He knows many things
that would benefit you, and he'll
tell you about them if you treat him
decent.
Remember that every Merchants
show windows are among the big
geSt assets in his business when
properly utilized.
Don't allow your eyes to be bigger
than your trade or you'll have a
surplus stock on hand when the
bill natures.
Don't get too busy tothink orread
the newspaper or you're to lose
money. 1t is the merchant who
! gives his business thought that
succeeds.
Don't use bats in your business
it creates distrust among your Gus
toners, and is a losing proposition
at all times.
Be friendly with your competitor.
He's a goodfellow and has the
same things to contend with that
you do, and you couldn't handle all
the trade if you had it.
The merchant who can smile
when misfortune overtakes him
possesses an asset upon which a new
business will be established. He
sees in the wreck the lumber OF
rebuilding.
If you can't be a Marshall Field
or John Wanamaker be what you
can. The Lord made a million
blades of grass before he made one
the, yet both were necessary in the
creating of the world.
Don't labor under the impression
that your business can't run without
you present. The graveyards are
full of ex-retail merchants, and
people are still buying sugar at the
old stand and in many instances
the business has improved since
they went hence.-MisSouri Tele-
graph.

DEAD ISSUE THIS YEAR.

Republican spell-binders have
worked the ''full dinner pail
use overtime during the two last
campaigns, but the "dear peopul'
they have been deeeiving are
opening their eyes to actual con-
ditions and a day of reckoning is
almost at hand. The Lexington
Dispatch hits the bulls eye IN
the following on the situation in
North Carolina:
"What means all this cotton
mill talk of curtailment, of shut
ting down, of throwing thousands
Of Woodworking people out of a
job? Isn't Taft president?
Didn't he promise prosperity to
the South?r Isn't the tariff high?
Didn't the republicans tell the
cotton mill people a high tariff
would help them? Didn't the
cotton mill operatives hear that
if they voted the republican ticket
two years ago they would have
plenty Of work, good wages and
a full dinner pail. Hey !cAnd yet
beginning last Friday two and
three-quarter million spindles "a
the South began to curtail their
output. During the summer the
mills have agreed to stand idle
four weeks. The men who own
the mills say they are losing mon
ey on every pound Of cloth they
make. They say this will be the
largest curtailment of cotton
goods the southern mills have
ever known. W hat does it mean?
Where is the "full" dinner pail?
Where are the good, fat, prosper
Gus times we heard SO much
OF from republican spe1binders
TWO years ago this SUMMER? We
require no answer"

w. T. Lee Nominated.

Charlotte, July l4.-Wlth a
spiritof harmony pervading even
the very atmospher of the great
convention hall, the Democratic
state convention here today made
he following nominations:
Chief Justice Of the Supreme
court-Walter Clark, of Raleigh.
Associate Justices-Platt D.
Walker, of Charlotte and William
R. Allen, of Goldsboro.
Corporation Commissioners.
C. Brown, of Raleigh and William
T. Lee of Waynesville.
Chief Justice Clark and Associ-
ate Justice Walker had no opposi-
ton. Supreme Court Judge Allen
was nominated over the incum-
bent, Associate Justice James S.
Manning, Of Durham, who was
appointed by Governor Kitchin to
succeed Justice Conner, who re-
signed to accept a federal Judge
ship The contest was close but
without bitterness. Manning was
Kitchin' campaign manager in
the gubernatorial fight two years
ago and the place ON the supreme
bench was his reward.
Brown won the corporation
cemmissionership nomination in a
walk, his opponent Withdrawing,
while Lee, who had two opponents
rolled up a big majority. State
Chairman Eller called the convea-
ton to order and United States
Senator Overman, who acted as
temporary chairman, outlined the
issues of the coming campaign in
a vigorous speech charging the
republican party In the state and
nation with breaking faith with
the people and betrayal of conf
dence.
The convention adopted the
strong platform which reaffrms
the principles of the party, de-
nounces the tariff, lodges the
state prohibition issue. Senator
Overman in a very strong speech
outlined the issues paying his re-
spects to the tariff, the trusts and
the unlawful combines advocating
retrenchment and reform. He ad
vocated a tariff for revenue only,
said the rights of the states must
not be impaired and that the peo-
pie must rule. Wants the laws
enforced against the unlawful
trusts, enforce the law regulat-
ing railroad rates and stop un-
just discrimination. He said the
republican party would go into
the campaign discredited and di-
vided.

DEMocRAcY's BEST CHANCE
Maryland Senator Talks of
Bright Prospects Of The
Party.

Party.
A few danys ago United States
Senator Isador Rayner, of Mary
land, discussed in an interest
ing and convincing manner the
bright prospects of the Democ-
ratio Party and the work of the
late session of Congress. .t%:ong
other things, he said:
"There has never been a time
since the civil war when the pros
poets were brighter than they are
at the present hour" he said:
IF we divide now and fail to
avail ourselves of this opportuni-
ty we do not decerve to win. The
indications that point in this
direction are so apparent that
any one can observe them, who
will only glance at the political
horizon.
"The Republican ranks are
rent with discord and dissen-
sion. The insurgents have come
to stay. They are not fighting
for a compromise, but are con-
tending for a mighty principle,
and in the end they will win.
There are no such words as re-
treat or surrender in their vo-
cabulary. 70 state their posi-
ton simple and concisely, they
are striking. first for individual
freedom within the party and
next for the rights of the people
against the forces of corruption
and the tyranny of the, money
power protected by legislation
and favored by the government.
Nearly every proposition they
have contended for has been
voted down by the organiza-
ton, and it is a remarkable fact
that every principle they have
espoused is to be found among
the traditional precepts of the
Democratic party.
"The broken pledges upon thu
tariff have decimated the Repub-
hcans constituencies of the land.
Downward revision was solemn-
ly promised, and in absolute
mockery and betrayal of the
promise, upward revision has
been granted. Every Democra-
tic prophecy that this would be
the accomplishment has been full
filed. The people, instead Of
being relieved as promised, have
been ground under the iron heel
of New England's despotic policy
of a tariff for protection with
incidental revenue. This is the
paramount and overwhelming
is sue that will arouse our party

ELLER AND ovERMAN.

The speeches Of Senator Over
man and Chairman Eller were
strong presentations of the Dem
ocratic position in the State,
sounding the true key note of the
campaign and breathing the
highest political wisdom. Moth,
was more loudly applauded than
Senator Overman's excoriation
of subsidies, showing that no
Judgment for this steal of pub
lie funds for private enrichment
has taken hold in the minds of
every man who is going on the
stump would, do well to read
these two keynote speeches. ~
