SENATORIAL CONTEST.


The Richmond Times7Dlspatch
makes this reference to the APP
preaching contest for United
States Senator in North Carolina:
There is a good deal of talk among
the politicians about the approaching
race for United States Senator. 1t 10
not knownIhow many candidates will
lbe in the field, but there wilt be.
enough to keep the political boil
ing. Among those who have been
spoken of are Senator Simmons, Of
course: Governor Kltchin, Chief JUS
tice Clark and former Governor Az
cock. 1t is certain that Simmons and
EKitchin will be in the race. Judge
| Clark can hardly be spared, we,
should think, from his present high
seat, which he has filled with so great
distinction, but If Aycock could only
be persuaded to go in many persons
believe that he would come under the
string several furlongs ahead of the
other two entries. He would make a
great. Senator, just as he made q great
4 Governor, being of the right size for
q seat among the mighty. Nobody
has the right to speak for him, and he
has not yet spoken for himself, but it
ia suchAmen as he that should be sent
from the South to Washing, so that
Hthe South might come into it's own
again in craftsmanship and achieve
ment.
The editor of the Times-Dis-
patch, who is none other than
Major j. C. Hemphill, formerly of
the Charleston News and Courier,
delivered a memorial address IN
Raleigh on Wednesday OF last
week and the above was written
after his return to the Virginia
capital. He appears to have sized
up the situation pretty accurate
ly, and writing like a partial
friend of our popular ex-Gov-
ernor.
The Winston-Salem Journal
thinks well of Governor Aycock's
ability to serve the people, in any
capacity, and of his standing in
the State, but feels he would make
a mistake by entering the sena-
torship contest. The journal
says.
Charles B. Aycock is the most elo-
quent living North Carolinian. He is
a big minded, b~ig-hearted man nj is
loved as few other men are in every
county in The state. He has been
EGovernor, and there is no other Office
he could not ably fill and adorn.
Right O he is. being strongly urged
to enter the race for the United States
ESenate against Senator Simmons and
Governor Kitchin, who r already
avowed candidates. But we do not
believe these requests are going up to
him from his best friends. For much
as they love Aycock, they cannot turn
their backs on Simmons by diverting
their support to Aycock. To be-forced
to make a choice between Simmons
and Aycock would be embarrassing to
democrats all over the state. But to
Simmonh more than any other man,
is North Carolina indebted for re-
demption from negroism and Butler
ism. The 1eonle will not permit him
to go down while under fire, and Ay-
cock, popular and worthy as he is,
would come out of the contests Todis-
appointed man.
So the Journal adheres to the
opinion that the people r not
going to turn Senator Simmons
down simply because other good
men, and loyal democrats want the
office. And there you are.

4 WARNING 70 MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the Kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases
of serious illness, makes chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot be brought back to
health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results
are sure to follow. According to
health statistics, Bright's disease
which is really an advanced form of
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in 1910, in the state
of New York alone. Therefore, it
behooves us to pay more attention to
the health of these most important
organs.
An ideal herbal compound that
has had remarkable success as a kid.
ncy remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. the great Kidney, Liver and
Bladder Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation is soon realized 1t
stands the highest for its remarkable
record Of cures. .1--..
If you feel that your kidneys re-
quire attention and wish a sample
bottle, write to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,

per and they will gladly forward it

Swamp-Root is sold by every drug

COVERED DISHES.
First Used In the Dark Ages to Guard
Food From Poison.

u
49, Food From Poison.
From the days when our ancestors
took their food in their hands and ate
it with as little ceremony as dog
gnaws bone to the present time of
elaborate dinners is a long step, but
gradual one. It was number of cen
turtles before dishes of any kind were
used, and knives and forks as adjuncts
to eating are later still. The fear of
poison which haunted the mind of
every person of quality during The mid
die ages gave rise to certain curious
customs and even to certain supersti-
tons. When dishes are now served
covered, it is understood that it is mere
ly for the purpose Of keeping them
warm. This was not, however, the
principal reason why they were serv-
ed covered during the dark ages It
was the fear that poison might be in
troduced into them surreptitiously be-
tween the kitchen and the table where
they were to be served to the kings
or the lords or even to persons Of infe-
rior rank.
The covers were not removed till the
master of the house had taken bis
place. All dishes afterward served
were brought on the table in the same
manner. 1t was the custom originally
when the dishes were uncovered for
some of the servants to first partake
of them, but this custom was after
ward in part replaced by the servants
touching the food with one Of several
objects which were regarded as infaIli-
BILE preservatives against poison

will handle some of the big battles

Commenting on the difference 10 be-
tween practice and playing, Connect

will no doubt prove of value to the
schoolboys. He cited several tnstan.

the main requisites for player run.
ming a team. ~
There are many kinds of kicks in
football and as many ways to make
them," says the famous gridiron star.
''The most common is the long, high
punt. Mckay, Browns captain last
year, was the best man ever saw at
this style. He had the ball at arms
length and on a level with his head,
the ball pointing in at an angle OF
30 degrees. He brought his leg up
straight to the knee until his foot
turned inward at the same angle as
the ball. He caught the ball on the
side, giving 1t the spiral twist. His
kick continued through until his foot
was over his head. '~a
I'm the east the long, low punt Is
gaining favor. The ball travels about
ten yards high, and is hard to handle
Pennsylvania quarter back had this
kick down fine last year. His kicke
would travel through the air for TWEEN
ty yards, hit the ground, then roll
forty to fifty yards more.
1.-THE drop kick and place kick will
be more important this year, for there
is lack of scoring plays within the
twenty-yard line. A team must have
a man who can make field goals. The
place kick gives more distance, but
is less accurate than the drop kick
because two men handle the ball In
the former.
"A drop kick is usually made by
dropping the ball with slight till
backward. When it touches the
ground the toe hits the ball on the
|lnder side.
1.-THE ball should be dropped on q
level spot. Keep your eye on the ball
after gauging the distance and direc
ton of the goal post"

ORIENTAL RUGS.
Their Worth Hangs on the Number Of

Their Worth Hangs on the Number Of
| Knots to the Square inch.
For ages reaching far back into the
mistJ OF antiquity. weaving has been
the work of women. though the mod
ern factory of the west has brought
about char ges in this respect. In
/ the uncnaTging east weaving Is, with
! few exceptions. women'S work. In
the interior Of Asiatic Turkey and in
Persia the patriarchal system Still ex
lists and the sons bring their wives
| home to live | have known as many
as thirty-five persons to- live in one

her book. Rugs In Their Native
| Land" The mother-in-law is queen
of the household, and every morning

task for the day Methods of work
ing as well as patterns are TRADITIONAL
according to the same author, and
, some designs are peculiar to special
families or tribes and become so IA
miliar that the older workers produce

The art OF tying in the yarn has to
be learned very slowly. The young
er children are allowed to tie in only
| one solid color on the plain back

| The two classes of rug, Turkish and
Persian, are distinguished by the kind
of knot in which they are tied. the
Ghiordes, or Turkish, the SIENNA, or
Persian knot.
The number of knots to the square

modern rug and the fact that more
can be tied to the square inch in a

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made From
Garden Sage, Restores Color to
- Gray Hair.

A feeling of sadness ACCOMPANIES
the discovery of the first gray hairs,
which, unfortunately, are looked up
on as heralds of advancing age. Gray
hairs, however, are not always an
indication of advancing age, for
many people have gray hairs quite
early in life. Of course it is unna-
tural, and indicates that there is
something wrong with the individ-
ual, and that Nature needs assist
ance in correcting the trouble. The
same is true of hair that is constant
ly falling out and becoming thinner
every day. If everything is right
with Nature, the hair, even in COM
paratively elderly people, should be
long, thick and glossy, without even
a streak of gray.
The ideal assistant to Nature in
restoring and preserving the hair is
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, clean and wholesome
dressing for daily use. 1t not only
removes dandruff, but strengthens
weak, thin and falling hair and pro-
notes its growth. A few applica-
lions will restore faded or gray hair
to it's natural color.
Get bottle today, and let it do
for you what it has done for thou
sands of others.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug

PRIMITIVE SURVEYING.
Beers With the Fleetest Horses Got
the Biggest Farms.

tUe 0ISSSSI dThS'
According to a legend of Smithtown.
N Y. the township was originally
measured off by a primitive method.
The first settler was one Smith, who
bought from the Indians as much land
as, bull could go around in a day
Now. Smith had smart bull. trained
to carry him and to half trot and half
lope at a rapid pace. That day the
bull was up to the mark. By night he
had inclosed so much land that the
amazed Indians nicknamed it's rider
Bull Smith.
This tradition has its counterpart
among the Beers of South Africa.
Their ''runs." as the farms Of these
Dutchmen are called, contain, general
~ speaking, from 1000 to G,0O0 acres.
of which only Il few acres are under
cultivation. Small monuments Of
stones piled up at certain points mark
the boundary lines
The first settlers. knowing nothing
of surveying. measured off their
runs by horsepower Having piled
up a lot of stones. the Beers would
start from them and ride in straight
line for half an hour as fast as their
horses could carry them.
Hating. each rider would build an
other beacon and again ride for half
an hour at right angles to his first line
Then he would pile up another stone
beacon Two more turns and an hour
more of riding brought him back to
his starting point.
The square tract Enclosed within the
two hours ride and the four beacons
became his farm. OF course the Boer
who owned the feetest horse obtained
the largest tract OF land.-Harper's
Weekly.
