CAM MORRISON for GOVERNOR!
WOMEN AND WOMEN.

The ratification of woman's
suffrage Isl almost an assured
fact. The affirmative action OF
36 other States is necessary,
New Jersey and one or two other
States will have a chance within
the neSf month of passing upon
the question. And if these fail,
then our own Legislature OF
North Carolina will face the is
sue squarely at the special ses-
sion in July. Richmond County's
representative, w. N. Everett,
who was the champion of the
suffrage cause in the 1917 Legis-
lature, will no doubt lead the
fight in the approaching special
session, and the outcome is a
foregone conclusion.
And why shouldn't women
vote?
A few years ago worlan's suf-
frage was considered a chimera
of the dreamers, the cheese at
the end of the rainbow, and even
the mere idea was laughed to
scorn. A hundred years woman
was the ornament of the home,
cherished and revered as a deli
cate personality to be petted and
protected from the seamy side of
life. Today she is life itself-a
potent factor in every phase of
existence-a power domestically,
spiritually, socially, commercial
ly and politically.
She is a banker, a lawyer, a.
doctor, a merchant, a farmer, an
artisan, a preacher-and even a
politician. If there are 1any
other erstwhile masculine fields
for her to invade be sure she
will soon be in them-and MAX
ing good.
I. One thing is certain: woman
has attained a pinnacle in public
life which commands respect
and consideration, and the man
who ignores her potentiality will
inevitably come to grief.

There has been an average increase
of 100 per cent in the cost of living
since 1914, and the cost of the ma.
,terial used in the production of a
newspaper has advanced as much as
400 per cent. There has been an ad-
vance of only 33 IL per cent in the
subscription price of the Post-D Dispatch
from $3.50 to $2.00-but unless the
price of print paper takes drop,
the subscription price will have to be
advanced.

DEATHS
r. L. Nichols Dead.

R. L. Nichols died at his home
near Rockingham Monday night
and the funeral was held at Zion
church Tuesday afternoon, the
service being conducted by Rev.
d. "A. Clarke. His six sons acted
as pall-bearers. N.
Mr.. Nichols was paralyzed last
Sept. 9th, and since then has
steadily grown weaker.
Of interest is the fact that Mr..
Nichols lived his entire life Of
76years in the same house, having
been born and died in the same
room. Also, of interest is the
fact that his neighbor and friend,
Thomas c. Ellerbe, aged 62, died
last Saturday and WAS buried from
the same church Zion; and like
Mr.. Nichols, Mr.. Ellerbe spent
his entire life at the same home
where he was born and reared.
Mr.. Nichols was the son of
the late w. 7. Nichols and Mar
tina Hamer; a singular fact con-
corning his parents is that his
mother died in March, 1884, and
his father died two months later,
in May, 1884; he was born Aug.
%, 1843. In December, 1869, he
was happily married to Mary H,
Covington, who survives; they
celebrated their Golden Anniver.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have The Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex'
tensively advertised, all z. once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not tulhli
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
a. medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost. sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post Address

LESS MEAT IF BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush
Kidneys if Bladder
Bothers Youe

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation. torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uri-
nary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clOgged kid
news and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids
In the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders. :"

water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
