At the Governors words De Ar

roughly. His eyes questioned and
forced an answer from mine.
When at last his eyes released me

left and Cassion was in the room.
He was a picture of insolent

"A more resolute; all depends

announcement that he will not again
be a candidate has been received with
amusement by voters in the Seventh
North Carolina district, and has caused
a quiet chuekle in Washington. In the
first place Mr.. Page has been persona
non grata at the White House ever
since he criticized the Presidents pre-
~paredness plans. While this might not
initiate against him in North Caro-
lima, because the people are not strong
for the Presidents suddenly adopted
militarism, it would certainly prevent
him from getting the Wilsonian in
dorsement. In the second place, and
what is far more important, North Car
DINA is going Republican newt fall.
Every time a North Carolinian looks
at his tax receipt he yowls like a cat
amount, for taxes in the Tarheel state
have trebled in the past three years
under the Democratic system of econ
omy. Of the ten Congressional dis
tricts of North Carolina, six went
Democratic by slender margins in 1914,
and one, the Tenth, went Republican,
e~lecting Hon. j. j. Britt. Unbearable
taxation, state and national, and the
pail which was east over the mill in
dustries by the Democratic tariff law
before war order influences began to
be felt in the South, are the issues
which the Democrats in that state
have to meet this year, and the blood
in the eye of the North Carolina voter
is causing every Democratic candidate
to break for the tallest pine tree in his
district. Mr.. Page won out by less
than 1000 last time, and he couldn t
win again with a 42-centimeter gun.
His notification is in the nature of an
armistice for the purpose of burying
his dead.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it ineurable. Science has
proven Catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
