notice a great many things said
about the candidates for Judge to-
succeed Judge Ferguson. When l
was Pastor CT the Baptist Church of
Bryson City. formed the acquaiI-
lance of Capt. Frye.
When Capt. Frye came to Char
lesion. now Bryson City thirty five
years ago. the town consisted of OIL
ly four dwellings and two small
stores. Capt. Frye and Bryson City
have gro:Va up together and in my
opinion no man has done more in a
financial or moral way to build up
Bryson City than Cap. Frye. He
has contributed 10 the building of
every church and school house
which has been built here:
When Cap. Frye came to Bryson
City, he possessed none of this
worlds GOODS save his law license
and good h ;.'its and he has built up
a very large and lucrative practice

ings with his fellow man.
While Capt. Frye has had a large
practice, he has represented but
few corporations but his practice
has been among the common people
and when he travels by railway,
either on business, pie assure or on
his campaign, he never rides on a
free pass and when he goes on the
bench, he will 90 there with united
hands. Icannot help but think
that this is a strong point in his
avor for we all know when law
yer forms the habit of appearing
! for certain class of clients and is
later promoted to the bench, it is
no easy matter to get rid of the
habits thus formed.
Inotice t at one of the car 1idates
places special stress on the fact
that he was born in the extreme
western part of the State and hence
he is peculiarly fitted to adjust
himself to the mot ntain people
Now, l cannot understand why this
should be mentioned for every
body knows that the Judge serves
one half of the State and that the
Judges rotate. Thus he spends on
ly one tenth o. his time in. this Dist
riot. 1t appears to me that this is
petty politics and much too small
for. candidate for the high office
of Judge. Moreover MI. Frye was
born in Western North Carolina
and has spent a great deal over
half of his life in Swain County.
Now if man who hes lived with
the people for thirty five years is
not competent to transact their
business, can hardly think that a
man who has lived forty four years
twenty one of which were in in
fancy, would be any better quail
/ fled.
z:I.4uch has been said about the
ages of the candidates. If you will
but recall the excellent records OF
Judges Shaw, Allen, Long. Adams,
and Ferguson. all of whom are
much older than Capt. Frye, you
will be convinced that the older
men are berter fitted for Judges.
than the younger men.
Capt. Frye is learned in the law
has a fine Judicial temperament
and has always been sober, never
at any time in his life has any man
seen him under the influence of
intoxicants, neither can any man
point his finger to one black spot
in his character. The people can
make no mistake in giving Cap.
Frye the nomination.

There are many under Sc who are in
such circumstances and health that
they may we'll don the honored
khaki. The recruiting officials an
ticipate the enlistment Of a goodly
number of these men within the
next few days.
Every American who is able to
serve must do SO, according to the
officials, for the war must be won as
quickly as possible. Our allies are
accepting older men for enlistment
and America must do the same. if
our war program is to be carried out
successfully. The young soldier may
now ask the older man why he is not
in the service and the older man
should have a clear conscience and
know that it is impossible for him
to enter if he is not in uniform.
In the past many older men over
40 years of age have expressed their
ambition to join the army and help
win this war to the members of the
army recruiting party and have state
ed that they are ready and willing to
60 whenever Uncle Sam offers to &C.
cept them. The opportunity is now
at hand, for they may enlist at any
recruiting station.-Greenwood Dali

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take q glass of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, Gays a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
Kidneys
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
q sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts .is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with ithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the Kidneys, also to neutralize the acids

The United States army transport
Mount Vernon, formerly the North
German Lloyd liner Kronprinzessein
Cecillie, was torpedoed by an enemy
submarine Thursday 200 miles from
the coast of France, while homeward
bound, but was able to return to
port. The report to the Navy De-
partment today made no mention OF
any casualties and it was assumed
that no one was injured by the ex-
plosion. No military units were on
board, but the big liner probably
was carrying some silk and wounded
American soldiers in addition to her
crew of probably 600 or 700 navy

MEN FROM As TO Sc YEARS
NOW HAVE OPPORTUNITY

Men between the ages of As and
Sc years now have an opportunity of
joining the army, as will be noted
from the following which was sent
out by the recruiting officer from Sa-
vannah, Ga:
Are you an elderly man between
the ages of 45 and Sc and anxious to
20 across the waters to France with
the boys and do all in your power
to crush the principles for which
Germany fights and to uphold the
honor and rights of America and
her Allies.
If so, you now have the opportun-
ity of so doing for the army recruit
ing stations in this district have been
authorized to accept applicants over
45 years of age but under sc for the
various staff corps. This means that
you may join the army and enter
the medical, ordnance or quartermas-
ter corps, all of which are absolutely
necessary and important in the pros
ecution of the war. Men are needed
in these branches and every older
man who volunteers for the service
relieves a younger and stronger man
for the trenches.
Recruiting officials of the army
in this district have sent out an ap-
peal to all in these ages who are sit
uated so that they may answer the
call to the colors, attempting to i'm
press upon their minds the fact
they are needed badly and that it is
their duty to volunteer just as much
as it is the duty of the younger men.

between the Chicago Cubs and the
Boston Red Sox stood $3.50 at the
close of the second game Friday.
But on Saturday, Mays pitched the
league representatives to
a second victory by score of 2.to
l, and Boston therefore goes home
with an edge on the series to date.
Boston won the first game by the
close score of 1 to 0. The Cubs
captured the second, 8 to l. A pitch
er was the hero of each contest.
Big Babe Ruth pitched shut out

cause of Boston's victory. Lefty
Tyler won his own game the second
day by driving across two runs with
a slashing single. So far, the games
have been far superior to those of

shown. But the fans are showing
