REiTERATES INTENTION
TO RUN FOR SENATE
n. B. Dial, Candidate against Sen. Till
man and Col. TOlbcrt in 1912. will
be in Race Again,

w Ill hhCe -tSuiH.
In the view Of the interest being
aroused now by aspirants for United
States senatorial honors, Mr.. n. B.
Dial, OF this city, yesterday re-itcrat-
ed his statement made before the last
campaign that he would be in the race
to succeed U. S. Senator b. II. Tillman
in 1916. This statement on the part
OF Mr.. Dial came following a "feeler"
sent out several days ago by Mr. Pol
lock. Mr. Dial stated that he had not
expected to weary the people further
with politics SO soon after the recent
campaign, but since the matter had
been opened by another he felt it his
duty to his friends to let them know
that lie would be a candidate so that
they would not commit themselves to
others.
He said that it was nopportunc now
to dwell upon his platform, further
than to state that it would be largely
the same as that of 1912, when he ran
upon his record of achievement us a
private citizen and business man.

PUT EASE BEFORE DRUDGERY
Every Device for Improving Methods
of Housekeeping Should Be
Employed.

There are thousands of housekeep-
ers who cannot take summer trip,
but they can greatly improve their
methods of housekeeping. First, free
the house of unnecessary articles to
sweep, wash, dust. iron or move. Only
the useful and the beautiful should re-
main. A porch may be made the
greatest of blessings to the summer
housekeeper if sheltered by vines. The
Dutchman's pipe is fast-growing
vine, and the moonvine and morning
glory make rapid growth Do all the
work you can out here, or under big
tree in the yard, such as Smelling peas,
stringing beans, pairing apples and
divers other tasks, which will suggest
themselves to the thinking house
keeper.
When work is finished, sit out on
the porch or under a tree, anywhere
but indoors, and don't forget the pic
MICS. Don't tire yourself out by baking
lot of fancy dishes. Make good,
plain things which will be relished out
of doors. Do nothing that is not abso-
lutely necessary. Once in while take
an entire afternoon for sleep, reading,
lounging under the trees, or resting In
the way most helpful to you.

tact with the wire and cause it to

"Feel?" rumbled the major; the
way any gentleman ought to feel this

The doctor bent his gaze on the
hilarious blossom in the others lapel.

scathingly. II reckon I'd quit galivant-

smiles. If the two gentlemen were
aware of each others sterling quail

inverse ratio to its expression, and.

was wont to remark that the major
talked like a Caesar, looked like a

had ever seen who could strut sit

barbed as when launched against the
majors white-waistcoated and patri-

the majors bland suavity so nearly
approach an undignified irritation as
when receiving the enVenomed darts
Of that accomplished cynic.
The major settled his black tie. "A
little wholesome exercise wouldn't be

succinctly. You're looking shade

ahead of you for once? Yes, it's true.

Saving the Hands.

If you are doing housework, try to
soil your hands as little as possible.
While busting and sweeping or doing
any dry, dirty work, wear loose pair
of old kid gloves. Rubber gloves are
no longer very expensive; provide
yourself with pair of these and use
them while washing dishes or any
work that demands the use of strong
soap and water.
