UNFAIR TO The DRUGGIST.
The Old Joke About something Just
as G0od,' Doesn't Apply to THIS
Drug Store.

You have probably heard dozens of
times the old story that drug store
was a place to get something just
IS good" There is at least one
druggist in the world that you can't
say this about. 1t is certain that an
inferior article will never be substi-
tuted for guaranteed one by E. T.
Whitehead Company's drug store.
Take for instance safe reliable rem
edy for constipation and liver trou-
BILE like Dodson's Liver Tone. This
harmless vegetable liquid has proved
so satisfactory liver stimulant and
reliever of biliousness and to entirely
take the place of calomel without any
danger or restriction of habits or
diet, that there are dozens of prepar-
ations springing up with imitation
of it claims. But Dodson's Liver
Tone is guaranteed to do all that is
claimed for it and if you are not sat
isfied with it, E. Whitehead Com
pany will hand your money back wi + h
a smile. Any person going to this
store for bottle Of Dodson'S Liver
Tone will be sure of getting large
bottle of this genuine remedy in ex-
change for his half dollar.

shows a steady growth in this insti-
tuition devoted to the higher educa-

Including the Training School and
the Summer Session, the college
last year had total enrolment Of
1917 students. Eighty-seven of the
one hundred counties of the State
had representatives in the student
body. Nine tenths Of all the grad
yates of this Institution have taught
or are now teaching in the schools of
North Carolina.
The dormitories are furnished by
the State and board is provided at
actual cost. Two hundred appoint.
ments with free tuition, apportione
among the several counties accor
ding to school population, will he
awarded to applicants about tht
middle Of July. Students who wish
to attend this institution next yea
should make application as early al
possible, as the capacity Of the dor
mitories is limited.

Daniels May be Governor.

Richmond. Va.-Men who claim to
be close to the heart Of political
moves in North Carolina have
brought to Richmond within the
past few days the statement that
Josephus Daniels, Secretary Of the
Navy, may be the next Democratic
nominee for Governor without a
party struggle. 1t must be said to
the credit of Secretary Daniels, how
ever, that he has not been engineer
ing the campaign, which makes the
situation all the more compliment
ary, and shows that the people are
beginning to appreciate what he has
done to throw the national spotlight
upon the Old North State.
Since he has taken hold of the
navy, since he has toiled for the up
lift Of the enlisted man, since he has
endeavored to throw a little human
interest in the service, and since he
has figured so prominently in the
public eye, the folks at home have
turned to Josephus as the right mar
to pick up the affairs of the govern
ment when Locke Craig puts then
down few years hence. Of course
| if President Wilson should be re
elected in 1916, he might desire tt
retain Mr.. Daniels as Secretary O.
the Navy, but after serving fou
years in the cabinet, Mr.. Daniel
would hardly object to being nomi
mated for Governor Of his own Stat
when that nomination would b
passed to him as freely as if it wer
a cup of cold grape juice unfer
|mented.

The Biggest Tree in the World?

Recently Country Life in America
printed a cut and sketch Of a big
tree in California, which was describ
ed as the largest tree in the world.
Its circumference was given at %
feet and one inch, but the point at
which the measurement was taken
WIS not stated. Two mammo tn
white oak trees on the Mclaughlin
place near town have long been
admired by all beholders. The 9th
er day Mr.. R. B. Mclaughlin and
the editor Of The Landmark took
measurement of these trees. The
largest and handsomest specimen
measured 80 feet in circumference
just above the ground. From tip to
tip of its branches in one direction
was 1O4 feet and 10 inches in an other
direction the distance was 106 feet
10 inches The smaller tree measured
20 feet nine inches just above the
ground. The story in Country Life
said the California tree had long
attracted attention and had become
known as the largest tree in the
world. The North Carolina tree or
the Mclaughlin place near States
vile is near seven feet greater il
circumference than the California
tree which place our tree at head Of
the list; while its companion nearby
is only little smaller than the Cali
fornia tree.-The Statesville Land
