The Harvey,WiIson Affair.

Nothing in national politics
has aroused such interest
among the people as the
Harvey-Wilson affair, and as
the days pass the curiosity Of
the public increases. It ap~
pears that before long the
whole story will come cut and
then we may know what act
ually happened. 1t seems
that the whole trouble came
from a proposition from Col.
harvey that Governor Will
son should meet Thomas F.
Ryan and make a deal with
him to finance his campaign
and thus become a "big busi-
ness or Wall street candi>
date" Governor Wilson
promptly turned that down,
whereupon Harvey inquired
as to the governors idea of
the value Of Harper's Weekly
as a Wilson booster, and the
Governor frankly told him
that it was injuring his can.
didacy. There have been so
many stories about it all that
one was puzzled to know
what to believe. Gentlemen
of national prominence were
involved whose veracity could
hardly be questioned. From
the latest developments, it is
to be said that the Governor
looms bigger than ever and
we honestly believe that the
"afair" will end up by maxi
ing his nomination certain.
If it proves out that the
Governor was offered thirty
pieces of silver to betray the
American people, his tempters
being convinced that he was
the man who would most
likely win out in both the
democratic convention and
the election, he will get a
majority that will break all
records. Newton News.

VIEWS OF OTHER PAPERS.
Wilson and Harmon are Both Good Presi-
Dental Timber.

Governor Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey and Governor
Judson Harmon of Ohio are
conceded to be the most con-
spicious lights for the Demo-
cratic nomination for the
Presidency. In Ohio, pro-
gressive Democrats are organ>
lied to oppose Harmon, and
a widespread effort is being
made to defeat Wilson. The
opposition to the latter, by
virtue of the fact that Wall
street, a faction Of the Re-
publican party, and a lot of
Democrats who seem dis
grunted because Governor
Wilson refuses to let his
campaign be financed and
managed by class of capi>
talists and leaders whose
views and methods do not ac>
cord with his own, are all
aligned against him will
rather be a help than a hind
rance to the candidacy Of Mr..
Wilson. The people admire
man who refuses to be sold
out even to his friends, and
it seems that Governor Viii
son is of the kind who thinks
and acts for himself. Har-
mon is a good man and so is
Wilson, and one is forced to
the conclusion that organized
wealth is looking for a candi~
date who will best subserve
it's interests. But the truth
is emphasized that both the
old parties keep up the busi-
ness of knocking to Tie ex>
tent that no one wonders
that both Bryan and Roose>
velt continue to be conspicu-
ously in the forefront of their
parties, 1t looks now, how~
ever, as if the very efforts
which are being put forth to
defeat Wilson will in the end
be the cause of his nomina>
ton. He is a great man, and
strictly a man of the people.
While not declaring for him,
we have no sympathy with
the movement to create a pres
judice against him.-Stanly

Pellagra Said TO be Caused by Corn
WhiSkey,

Corn bread has been re-
lieved Of the stigma Of being
the cause of pellagra, and
corn whiskey is saddled with
the odium. A Buncombe
county citizen let this eat out
Of the bag in Greensboro last
week. He reported two
deaths in Buncombe that
were brought about by pella~
gra superinduced by whiskey.
1t seems that the brand of
corn whiskey manufactured
in the mountains is the sort
that makes pellagra possible.
1t is not stated, however,
whether this news is sent out
in the interest of science,
prohibition or the Virginia
distillers.-Newton News.

PREVENTION OF CONSUMPTION.
Prevention Of Consumption is Easy Il Each
Individual 0ots His Part.

prevention OF Consumption Is Easy It Each
Individual DOES His Part.
Consumption is a prevents
able disease. Then why not
prevent it? Every .case is
contracted by means of germs
from some other consuml tive.
If you get consumption, you
may consider it a monument
to some other consumptive's
ignorance, carelessness, or
negligence. If you give, or
make others liable to CON-
sumption, you are guilty of
criminal negligence and de-
serve to be punished.
Consumption would be ex-
tinct in less than five years
if all consumptives would ex-
ercise the proper precautions.
This may mean you. Thou-
sands of people in our State
have consumption and do
not know it. Many of them
go about splitting, coughing,
sneezing in a careless manner,
making their friends and as>
sociates most liable to the
disease. Many others who
may not have the disease are
equally guilty Of such filthy
habits. Does this mean you?
Don't spit! Oh, you say.
that is an old saw. So it is,
but it is the ounce of preven-
tion which any one can easily
supply. Ninety-fve per
cent. of the splitting is un>
necessary. This is an in~
sanitary practice confined
largely to the men. To be
sure, it is filthy and danger-
GUS to swallow mucus and
phlegm coughed up. It is far
better to rid the system of
this secretion than to allow
any part to enter the stomach.
But, if SIT you must, this
can be done in such a manner
as to reduce the danger to a
minimum. At home, spit
only in the fire or in a spit
toon. Keep water in the spit
toon. Empty it daily and
scald it ont with boiling
water. An excellent pre-
caution is to add a half tab
let of mercuric bichloride
to the water in the spittoon
when it is returned for use.
Carbolic acid or calcium
hypochlorite are also good,
but they emit slight odors.
Disinfectants injure brass
spittoons.
In public, never spit on the
sidewalk >or where it may
come in contact with the
skirts or clothes Of others, or
become dried and stirred up
as dust. Spit in the water
in the cutters or in sewer in>
let's. Spit in the sunlight, as
bright sunlight will kill the
germs of consumption before
they can become dry and
float off as dust. Sneeze,
cough, or spit in a handker-
chief or, better still, use a
paper napkin and burn after
using. Consumptives should
use spit>cups.
Whenever you see a care
less splitter, consider him as a
man dangerous to society and
an enemy to mankind. Avoid
him, and beware that others
cannot so regard you.
