A sunken forest. entirely petrified
and thirty feet below the surface, was
discovered recently near Bakersville.

by the state geologist, the forest is at
least thousand years old.
Workmen excavating for a clay mine

they had got down about thirty feet.
They reported to Warren Somers, who
owns the tract. and he submitted some
of the substance to the state geologist
for analysis and received word that the

WILLIAM ]. BRYAN,
CON[BACKER'
AS Premier of Presidents
Cabinet He Achieves His
Final Victory.
By JAMES A EDCERTON.

"HEY do come blackstone Of
them. You can knock them out,
jump on their PROSTATE forms
and have them unanimously
elected members Of the Down and Out
club, but they will be up and smiling
at the tap of the gong. They are like
the cat you put in a meal sack and
take seventeen miles away to lose it in
the wilderness, only to find on your re-
turn that the cat beat you home. You
can't lose some men. Defeat only
makes their friends more loyal. You
may think you have them "beaten to a
frazzle," but they are always ready
for the next round.
With these few brief remarks, ladies
and gentlemen, we will now introduce
the greatest comebacker of them all,
to show that we know him. Sure, you
guessed his identity the first time.
The peerless leader is his middle
name-and not only the peerless leader
and peerless loser, but the peerless
cOmebacker. You can't lose William
Jennings Bryan.
There are people who held fallacious
views to the contrary. They now
know better. Any one who harbored
that delusion is like Coleridge's AN
cient Mariner"-
A sadder and wiser man he woke the
morrow morn.
The Republicans were sure he was
done for in 1896. They again glee-
fully announced his demise in 1900.
After Parker's nomination in 1904
both the Republicans and a part Of
the Democrats were essentially and
teetotally certain that this was the
end Of Bryan. They finished him once
more in 1908. When be broke with
Jim Dahlman and other leaders of his
party in Nebraska in 1910 everybody
agreed that at last he was out of it
that is, everybody but Bryan. They
left the most important man out of the
equation. 1t is hard to keep a man
licked if he won't admit he's licked.
You all do know what happened at
the Baltimore convention and what the
peerless did to them there. And now
he is premier Of the cabinet, thank
you, is only fifty-three. his health was
never better. and he still has the smile
that won't come off. You can't keep
a good man down-not if his name is
Bryan.

Demand for DryGoods

THE volume OF dry goods business

business recorded for the corresponding
period a year ago. Cash receipts are
better than normal.
Holiday business Is assuming larger
proportion than at this time year ago.

mate merchants are placing on the pur-
chasing power Of their communities
"A very noticeable shortage has de-
veloped in cotton blankets within the
last 30 days, and from the present out
look the scarcity will continue during
the rest of the season. While all looms
are running at full capacity the product
is sold ahead to December and January,
The demand for cotton blankets has in
creased to the extent that there are not
enough looms in this country at present
to supply the needs of the trade, even
when mills are running at full capacity.
There is also limited supply of all
mapped fabrics especially bleached out
ing and shaker fiannels."
