Thinks Surprise Awaits Democrats.
Robert H. Mcneil of North Carolina,
at enc time chairman of the Republi-
can state committee. has just returned
from visit to his old home
"A big surprise is awaiting the Dem
ocrats," he said, at the Shoreham Al
though say it in advance, it will still
be surprise, because the Democrats
are not expecting it. In other words.
the year 1916 is going to be Republ-
can year in politics, and North Caro-
lima is going to be in the Republican
swing for a restoration of good times
and the diffusion of prosperity that
has been burdened by Democratic
blunders and incompetence. Our
friends and peighbors the Democrats
are honest and mean well, but they
are constitutionally unfit to do any,
thing but obstruct instead of promot-

The Confessions OF a Wife


When Kitty and I arrived home

she asserted rather than asked.

who don't know temptation when
they see 1t. who live by the rule OF
convention and look with horror
upon any other woman who has an

and terror-stricken.

All fresh, small fruits are whole

cake or sweet cracker crumbs. Fruit
and cake alternate until the dish is
nearly full. Whipped cream Is piled
on the top like snow and sprinkled
with the crumbs and any bits Of
candied fruit. These by way OF dec

to the success of the dish. II goes
without saying the fruit must be

Another delightful dish that can

pint each OF the berries and nice
Juicy apples. Peel, core. and slice
