Many who suffer from backache
and weak kidneys are unnaturally
irritable, fretful and nervous. Not
only does constant backache get on
the nerves." but bad kidneys fail to
eliminate all the uric acid from the
system, and uric acid iritates the
nerves, keeping one "on edge" and
causing rheumatic, neuralgia pains.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid

THE PARTY'S CHOICE.

This talk, we think, about the
D. aocratic party nominee for Presi-
dent, is premature and futile, out
size of Woodrow Wilson. As the
party must adopt his ideals, favor his
policies and endorse his action or
cease to exist as a party.
The world today stands on the
threshold of a new age, an era of
progress, in politics and religion, in
science and industry. Old things are
passing away, new forces have been
discovered and new powers recog-
nized.
New stars are appearing and
brighter suns are shining, and the
party must lead or die.
Whilst it is Democratic doctrine
that all just powers of Government
are derived by the consent of the
governed" we must remember that
the tendencies of the times point to
the Capitalization of these powers,
and we believe it will be the peculiar
function of the Southern Democracy
to define these powers. This, we
believe is in keeping with the true
Spirit of (Thomas) jefferson, other
wise we, as a real spirit of Jeffer-
son" one dollar a year in advanced
would not endorse it.
After all, upon whom could
Woodrow Wilson throw his mantle2
Not upon the Vice President, surely,
as his shoulders are too narrow.
Champ Clark's shoulders are broad
enough and his mind broad enough
to lead a great party, but he lacks
vision. This mantle would fit the
shoulders of W. j. Bryan excellently
well with 4 little alteration, and he
has vision, and his vision has led the
party into the promised land.
Gov. Smith, of New York, pos
seses the elements of leadership and
the power to rule. John w. Davis
is a West Virginia oak of good d.
nension and rapid growth and the
Secretary of War has the capacity Of
growth. in material as well as IN
policies. We are away head of the
Republican party. as they actually
have not a born leader. Taft Is a
man of straw and Hughes a failure.
Since the Colonels death they have
been beating the woods in search OF
big game. and some one has brought
cut Gen. Leonord Wood. He who
was not permitted to go to France
for fear he might be an obsticle IN
winning the war.
At any rate we trust it will be a
hot fight. In our our county We are
sure it will be, as we know the or
ganization will get out the vote and
the Shenandoah Junction election
board will see that the vote is prop
erly counted.
The Spirit will lead.

GENERALS LEE AND JACKSON
BIRTHDAY COMMUNICATED.

The members Of Lawson Bolts
Chapter U. D. c., this year decided
to entertain the old Confederate
Veterans in concentrating the
birthday anniversary of General Lee
and General Jackson and an enjoy
able banquet was given at Rouss Hall
on last Tuesday evening.
At s o'clock the Chapter choir
opened the evening entertainment
with songs of the Southland, inelud-
ing Maryland, My Maryland" the
@Bonny Blue Flag" and Dixie"
which was followed by two beauti-
full songs by Mrs. W. H. Ring
Out Sweet Bells of Peace" and
sSewanee River. Mrs. T. NJ. Baker
accompanist.
The guests were then invited to
take their places at the tables which
were most inviting. After blessing
was asked by Rev. W. Fl. Best, pastor
of the Methodist Church, all partook
of the bountiful repast.
At this time Col. R. P. Chew arose
and gave a most interesting and i'm
pressive eulogy to the memory of our
| honored Confederate Generals, es-
pecially did he dwell upon their re
| ligious piety which was characteristic
of both, stating that all through life
they were without reproach. He
closed by saying there were never
two greater generals than were
! Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jack
son. and it is well worth the assembl-
\ ing of ourselves together on these
anniversary occasions to keep these
things in memory "lest we forget"
for Lee and Jackson will command
the respect and admiration OF the
world to the end of time.
| Col. Chew then called upon Rev.
Mr.. Best, whose remarks were ex-
ceedingly entertaining. He began
bv paving tribute to Col. Chew,
saving he would be glad if he was
/ invested with the knowledge of Col.
Chew concerning happenings and ex-
periences of the War between the
States. He then paid fitting trlb-
ute to the two great generals OF the
South, and closed his remarks by
saving that he hoped that all the old
soldiers present had enlisted under
| the name of the Great Commander,
king Emanuel"
| Col. B. D. Gibson "a son OF vet
eran) was then called upon; ne
spoke complimentary of the ladies OF
Lawson Bolts Chapter for giving the
old soldiers such a delightful enter
| tainment, which had given them all
such pleasure.
| Col. r. P. Chew was then escort
ed to the piano and closed the even
| ings entertainment by playing our
own Southern melody Dixie" which
brought cheers and applause.
Thus ended the the celebration Oh

were 2sa Greek schools, 386 teachers

were 2S3 Greek schools, 1856 teachers
and 1892 pupils.
All these Greek schools have been
built by the inhabitants who also sup
ported them financially, by the income
of the monasteries and churches, by
contributions and by paying certain
tuition fee for the education of their
children. In the city of Corytsa q
Greek College has been founded by the
inhabitants as early as 1925 A D.
There were two Italo- Albanian
schools with five teachers and forty
pupils. There never have been any
Albanian schools because the Alban-
ians never cared for education. Even
when the Albanian F'erid Pasha was
the Turkish grand vizier no care for
Albanian schools has been taken.
Since 1915, following the Italian oc-
cupation of the country, all the Greek
schools were closed, the properties OF
the monasteries and churches were
confscated and the inhabitants were
ordered to send their children to the
newly established Italian schools. Inc
ipha h;tants, in order to escape severe
punishment complied with these ora
ers but they nevertheless offered ana
are still Offering passive resistance "
the lt3llan az L1OFltlSS, tAil *
fcer admits this fact in an article writ
ten in the Tribune" OF Rome (23rd
September, 1918, 4th page, in Which
he saws as follows:
The Greeks despise the Albanian
language and the AIbanians do not care
for it"
This statement given by an Italian
official sent to Northern Epirus with
the purpose of executing The above
mentioned orders OF closing the Greek
schools, show very clearly that not only
the Greeks bus also the Alba mans have
contempt for the Albanian Language
and the Italian schools.
The Albanians were sending then
children to the Greek schools previous
to the Italian occupation, us many con
scientious travellers state.
The Northern Epirotas have con-

bearing the early date of 1912.
In this ad other Of his writings
Bacon makes no mention of guns or
the use of powder as propellant, but
merely as an explosive and destruc-
tive power.
The first mention of gunpowder as
a propellant is in a document now in
the National Library in Paris. This
bears the date of 1883, and describes
AN iron weapon called pot de flu, for
propelling bolts, together with some
saltpetre and sulphur to make powder
for the same"
About the time of Elizabeth the
manufacture of gunpowder was car
ried on as crown monopoly, and
regulations respecting gunpowder We're
made in the reign of James I, in 1928.
Powder mills were in existence in
England about the middle of the six
teenth century.
However, Roger Bacon in his ana
gram gives the first recipe for gun
powder as being composed Of salt
petre, 41.2 charcoal, 29.4; sulphur,
29.4. The composition of gunpowders
used in differet countries varies con-
siderably.
The composition of English powder
is now-saltpetre, $50; charcoal, $50;
sulphur, 100
For making the brown or COCO
powder used in the big guns of Ger
many the following recipe is used
Saltpetre, rs; charcoal, 10: sulphur, g.
In making this powder the charcoal is
not burnt black, but roasted until
brown, and is made from some variety
Of straw and not Of wood
Smokeless and even noiseIess pow
deTs seem to have been sought for
during the whole gunpowder period
In 1856 one was experimental with in
France, but was abandoned Modern
smokeIess powders are certainly less
noisy than black powders. mainly be-
! cause of the absence Of metallic salts
which while gaseous in the gun are
elected as solids when coming into
contact with the air.
The adoption by the French Gov
eminent of the comparatively smoke
| less nitrocelulose of Paul VielIe ir
| 1887, practically put an end to the old
forms Of gunpowders. The first smoke
! less powder was made in 1865 by
| Colonel T. Schultz by nirating wood
meal and adding potassium and bar
| ium nitrates.

FAVOR FULTZ AS NEXT
PRES. OF INTER, LEAGUE

New York, Jan, 5.-The new Inter
national League club owners will re-
convene here tomorrow further to con-
slider next seasons baseball problems.
The most important business, it is eX
pected, will be election of a PRECEDENT
for a term of one or more years,
Unless there is an eleventh hour
shift of sentiment, it is probable that
the new executive will be Lieutenant
David L. F'ultz. The former college
football star and American League
outielder is understood to have at
least six of the eight club votes
pledged to him as he expects to be
mustered out of service soon, there
appears to be no bar to his accepting
the office.
1t is likely that little constructive
work will be attempted at tomorrow
session. With the joint meeting of
the two major leagues scheduled here
for January 16, there is a tednency to
await developments. The new Inter
national League is preparing to be
represented at general conference to
be held in connection with the major
leagues meeting.
