e. r. JOHNSON, Democratic Repre-
sentative of Currituck County in the
North Carolina General Assembly. is the
latest victim of sIander to be singled
out by the Pugh-WeIIs Republican
weekly in this city. Mr. johnson has
begun an action for damages against the
paper for criminal libel, the paper hav-
ing accused him Of being the legislative
vassa of a northern millionaire inter-
ested in duck shooting in Currituct
county. The attack On Mr.. johnson was
based upon the johnson bill to tax Hon-
residents cunning in Currituck Sound.
E. r. AydIett, attorney for northern
sportsmen owning practically all of the
shooting club property in currituck, has
been fighting Johnson's proposed lesIs-
Iation. This probably explains the mo-
tive behind the Republican Weekiy'ssat.

The swan song of the candidates
will be heard at the corner Of Broad

aspirants for county office will be
presented to the people Of Ardmore
and lined up for public inspection
Judge Tom Champion viii act as
master Of ceremonies, and he an
nounces that the ceremony will be
short so far as each individual is
concerned as none of them will be per-
mitted to deliver a speech, but merely
to announce that they are candidates
for some particular office, ask the
people present to vote for them, and
sit down
The weather permitting, it is eX-
pected that a large crowd will be pres
ent and the citizens Of the city many
of whom are not familiar with the
personal appearance Of many of the
candidates will be out in force to
give them the once over and see
ballot for on the morrow.
The election supplies have all been
delivered to the officers in various
precincts throughout the county, and
it is expected that the vote cast to-
morrow will be very much heavier
than first predictions would indicate,
because The registration was greater
than anticipated.
All candidates today were taking
things easy, and waiting for the big
blow off tonight to make their final
bow to the public.
The meeting tonight will begin
promptly at o'clock and every cam

COUNTY TEACHERS
HAVING A BIG DAY
Important Subjects Dicussed and
Biggest Attendance of Year
Is Reported

Saturday was big day for teach
ers in Richmond, the largest attend
ance yet recorded being present at
the regular monthly meeting of the
county teachers at the court house.
The program for the day was such as
to insure interest and entertainment.
The meeting, under the management
of Miss Anna Powell, of the King
ston schools, was voted the most in
teresting and instructive of the year
thus far. The program began short
ly after 10 o'clock, many of the teach
ers and principals participating. Prof.
B. F. Edwards, superintendent of the
county schools, was one of those who
spoke.
The afternoon session began short
ly after 1 O'Clock and the remainder
of the program for the day was rem
dered. The interest of teachers was
unusual There will be more such
meetings, it is stated, during the
term, since teachers are prevail
ed upon to be in attendance and take
an active part. There were a number
who spoke for the first time at Z
meeting of this character Saturday,
and it is the intention to have all
present and to have everyone deliver
short talk, at least.
The matter of reporting delinquent
pupils, together with sickness, etc.
was one of the phases touched upon,
as we'll as the new t1uancy officers
operations, which will begin Monday
morning. Attendance Officer John
son will canvass the county and look
after those who are not in attend
ance and unless there are working
certificates to show they are eligible
to absence, parents will have their at
tention called to the fact that prose
cutions will follow repeated violations
of this part of the law.

campaign speech today declared that,

He asserted it would be unwise for
this country to permit "our activities
in seeking for peace in the old world
to blind us to the essentials of peace
at home" and added that ''if America
can be made to forget the attempted
barter of nationality, well and good,'

OIL CLOTH SKIRTS
FOR WOMEN TO

The we'll known and revered kitchen
table oilcloth is due for sudden fame
If the suggestion of a New York ywo-
man is acted on. In addition to fame
this same oilcloth, when not adjoining

lady as an outing skirt. A manufac-
turer of Hnoleum recently received
fdom a New York woman a letter like
this:
IF you carry a thin white Hnoleum
Of an easily handled quality for wo-
mems dresses or skirts please send me
a sample, with width and price
Unfortunately" said the manufac-
turer, 1--WE were unable to comply with
her request. It is possible that she
confused inoleum with oiicloth.
THE rise in the cost of cloth has
been responsible for a. good many
economies and changes in styles, and
| it is barely possible that the nanufac-
turers of oilcloths might be able to
put out a style which could be used
for skirts. They would certainly be
durable, and in addition absolutely
waterproof until the oilcloth cracked "
| Other dealers in women's wear
thought that many women in the
country might adopt oilcloth as ma
terial for skirts, but they doubted if
such gowns would ever be seen on
