A Mothers Devotion.

Mothers love is love that passes
understanding, and it exhibits itself
in all animate creation. The mother
hen would fight an elephant in defense
of her young, and a mother always
exhibits wonderful consideration for
ner offspring. That is why mother
is thoughtful for the health of her
child, and the Mother is the one who
sees to it that a bottle Of Gowans,
King of Externals, is always in the
home, because Gowans scatters in
flamation. Group is inflammation,
Gowans, just rubbed on, scatters
colds and groups, and often prevents
pneumonia. All druggists sells Gowans
and guarantee it. No dangerous drugs.

School CLOSING.

The closing of the school at SAKE
Gotha mills, about three or four miles
from Lexington, was an occasion long
TO be pleasantly recalled by those who
attended. The children who partici-
pated in the exercises showed careful
training, by painstaking and careful
instructor. They all did exceedingly
well and reflected credit upon them
selves and honor upon their teacher.
This school has been under the efficient
management of Miss Lula May Epting,
one of Lexington county's most capa.
BILE and accomplished teachers.

Politics i'm Washington.

If the Senate had not adjourned when
it did to wait for the extra session
which. starts April 7th, the people
would have nothing to talk about. AS
it is the White House is closed TO all
office seekers and those who are
hunting office will have to wait until
Congress meets again before they
have their ambitions gratifed. Of
course, there will be many dlsappoint-
ments but the administration is pick
ing out the best men for the jobs and
will continue to do so from start to
finish.
The Senate cut out 100000 worth
of patronage that the Republicans had
been giving their helpers and which
the Democrats will haye to do without.
At least they will have to for awhile
because nearly all the positions with
exception of a few policemen who
were cut out by the House over q wear
ago have been put back into position
and there are as many drawing money
from the House as there were under Re-
publican administrations. The chances
are that the 10000 post offices will be
put back and filled by Democrats, thus.
giving the Congressmen:something to
do; otherwise, they will have nothing
at all but their patronage in the
House.
The policy OF Mr.. Wilson in chop
ping down has been Democratic pol
icy for many years and will continue
under ali Democratic Presidents, and
you can bet when Wilson chops ne
means to chop down-he does not
mean to put back next year
It remains to be seen yet whether
or not he will put back the 10000 post
masters who were installed under the
the civil service by President Taft.
There are lots of places in the Sen
ate that have not yet been filled but
which will be filled shortly after that
body convenes on the 7th'of April.
The Democrats need not look for
many appointments before the next
session of Congress. There will only
be appointed those people who are alb
solutely necessary to carry on the busi-
ness of the country but wholesale ap-
pointments will not be made until
Congress meets and the Senate can
take action on them in either with
holding its consent or not to the ap-
pointment made.
The President is every day studying
who is the best man for the position
and the people of the country may be
satisfied that the President has made
no his mind after deliberate and ma
ture consideration, but with hat kind
of President in the White House you
NAV be sure that he will not in any
way try to overstep the laws or try to
do anything that is not in consonance
with the habitual course Of the Dem
ocratic party. The Democratic party
is IN safe hands so long as Woodrow
Wilson is. President Of the United
States. y.

SPIDERS WEBS.
Their Filmy Threads Have Wonderful
Sustaining Power.

Their Filmy Threads Have Wonderful
Sustaining Power.
The strength of the spider and of the
materials it employs is something al
most incomprehensible when the size
of the insect and the thickness Of its
thread are taken into account. Recent
experiments have shown that a single
thread of a web made by a spider
which weighed ffty-four milligra ms
supported endwise a weight of four
grams, or seventy-four times the weight
of the spider itself.
When. therefore. a spider spins web
to let himself down from the ceiling
or from the branch of a tree and we
see him descending without perceiv-
ing his thread at all we may be per-
fectly sure that he is not only in no
danger Of falling. but that he could
carry seventy-three other spiders down
with him on his invisible rope.
knowing this fact with reference to
single thread. we need not be sur
prised that the threads of a web. inter-
woven and REINFORCED one by another.
