Will J. Robbins,
Chairman Progressive County Com
mittee.
my Dear Sir:
At the Republican nominating cleo
ton held in Wayne county last spring,
i was a candidate for the nomination
for county treasurer. After a spirited
canvass into which 1 put considerable
time and labor, received the nomin-
alton over several excellent gentlemen
who competed with me for it. I then
supposed, of course, that l would re-
ceive the cordial support at the No
vember election of all Republican vot-
would have this, if nominated, which
induced me to become a candidate at
the primary.
Since this primary was held, how
ever. a split has occurred in the Re-
publican party in the county, and a
Progressive party has been organized.
It's managers now propose to me that
/ shall withdraw from the Republican
ticket as a candidate for county treas,
urer and become the candidate of
their party for the office. They say
that If l decline to do this, they will
nominate some Progressive against
me, and that the members Of their
party will vote for him.
have given to this proposal care
full consideration and do not see how
I can honorably accept it. l shall
therefore, remain upon the Republican
ticket as a candidate for the Office
seek, and support it's candidates. Let
me say, in conclusion, that it is not
in my opinion a matter of great mo
sment to the electors of our county
what is the politics of their next coun
rty treasurer. 1t is, however, a matter
of vital importance to all of them thai
he shall be honest and competent anG
that he shall discharge his officia
duties faithfully. In this belief,
shall, in the approaching canvass, ap
peal to all of the voters of Wayne
county for their support, the Progress
Sive voters included.
II they elect me, l shall feel CRATE
full to them and do my best to max.
a good treasurer. If they defeat me,
shall accept their verdict cheerful,
and without complaint.
Yours very truly,
NIMROD JOHNSON

POWER OF THE OCTOPUS.
The Force Exerted by Its Formidable
Sucker Lined Arms.

Both the octopus and the cuttlefish

In spite of being a creature of such

KEEP CUTS CLEAN.
Then There isn't Anything For Them
to Do but Heal.

10 10 r1cdl.
The cut made by the surgeon should
always be kept absolutely free from
germs. If infection occurs we know
that some one has Numbered. Acciden-
tai cuts, on the other hand. are almost
invariably infected.
The germs of disease are every
where No matter how small the cut
may be or how brief its exposure to
the air. germs are almost certain to
enter. If an accidental cut is to heal
quickly and well all germs must De
carefully removed at the first dress
ing.
When We consider how many are
the ways in which cut may become
infected we can understand why such
precautions are necessary. Infection
is often introduced by the very nipple
ment that makes the wound. Only
surgeons use sterilized instruments.
A knife or pair of scissors or a piece
Of glass or crockery is almost certain
to plant germs in the furrow it pows.
Germs may also enter from the cloth
ing, from the hands of whoever rushes
to help, from the first piece of cloth or
handkerchief used to stanch the flow
of blood or from the water used for
the first washing.
Since the avenues of danger are so
numerous. it is safest to assume that
infection has occurred. 1t follows that
every family should understand some
Of the simplest methods of steriliza-
ton. Heat is the simplest Of all.
The mother of a family should keep
a supply Of soft linen rags that have
been thoroughly boiled. She should
keep them not on an open shelf with
towels or other cloths. but done up in
a carefully closed oiled paper bag or
protected from the air in some other
equally effective way. For washing
the wound she should use only water
that has been boiled When the doc
tor comes he will add some kind of
chemical antisepsis. and it will be
proved once more that a clean cut can
do nothing but heal.-Youth's Com

PERRY SCOTS TURKEY.
This Wonderful Bird Was Well Fixed
With Legs and Wings.

The story of Perry ScOtt's turkey has
come down from Revolutionary days in
Carolina. Colonel Gordon was accus-
toned to tell of the hasty march which
he made before Rudolph's legion. He
was just sitting down to dinner when
orders were given to cross the Ashley
river. 1t was nearly nightfall when he
bivouacked in a valley in which the
cavalry under Wayne had just en-
camped and, with his officers. began to
sup on dry bread and potatoes. The
infantry which he commanded were in
starving condition. and the commits
sary was without money, but raiding
upon the farmers was sternly made
punishable by death.
Reports of the hungry condition of
the newcomers had circulated among
Wayne's men. Just as the colonel be.
gan TO eat his musty bread a private
from Wayne's cavalry appeared and
said respectfully: Perry Scott had
some money. colonel. and bought
turkey. We have unfortunately eaten
all but one leg. | took the liberty of
bringing that to you" The colonel
took the leg gratefully and had scarce
ly finished it when another of Wayne's
men appeared with the same story OF
Perry ScOtt's turkey and another leg.
The colonel congratulated himself on
his luck and, handling the drumstick
over to fellow officer, went out of the
tent 1t was growing dark. Another
cavalryman came up, whispered the
story Of Perry Scott and cautiously
handed over a third leg. The colonel
continued his walk through the camp
and before his return had been secretly
offered twenty legs and fourteen wings
of Perry Scott's turkey.
Wayne's men had raided a poultr'
yard the previous night and conc"cteI
