to one in his automobile yesterday,
parked his car with the front wheels
inside the white lines and entered
the shop, and got his shave.
When he was all dolled up, he paid
his bill, tipped the barber and de-
parted. leaving his automobile behind
him, and forgetting that he was ever
burdened with any such earthly
cares. The kindly barber exercising
his lung capacity to their full extent,
called after Mr.. Absent Minded Friend
and asked him if he didn't want his
car. The gentleman came hurrying
back, but not before half dozen of
his friends witnessed the "boner."

GOVERNOR IS
AGAINST IT
But Urges North Carolina Legislature
to Ratify Suffrage Amendment
With Good Grace and
Honor.

JTunited Press Leased Wire Service.
RALEIGH. N. c., Aug. 13.-h a
speech, large part of which was an
argument against woman suffrage,
Governor Beckett today urged the
North Carolina legislature in joint
session here to ratify the Susan B.
Anthony amendment to the federal
constitution.
Beckett announced at the outset he
| is personally opposed to suffrage.
Il greatly fear that woman suffrage
would reopen old race problems and
force us to fight the battle for white
government in North Carolina all
over again." said Beckett.
He said he was in deepest sympa-
thy" with the sentiments of the sixty
third legislature, which signed mes
sage to Tennessee legislators urging
them not to ratify.
! Governor Beckett declared, how
ever, that women should have voice
in deciding whether the league of
nations covenant is adopted or not;
that as they are the mothers of sol
diers, they should be allowed to voice
| their sentiments on measure de-
signed to make war impossible. He
said he was out 'of sympathy with
those who held the suffrage amend
ment was an interference with state
rights. Woman suffrage, the COVER
nor went on, is condition and not
a theory and urged the legislature to
accept the situation with good grace
and bring to North Carolina the dis
tinction Of being the thirty-sixth state
| to ratify.
| sDear friends Of the opposition
concluded the governor, 81 put to
your sense and souls the question:

thing you seek?

ing joy.

A Medicine Of Merit.

A proprietary medicine, like every
thing else that comes before the pub
lie, has to prove its merits. The law
OF the survival of the fittest applies
in this field as in others. The reason
for the tremendous success of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is
because it has been fulfilling real
human need for forty years, so that
today thousands of American women
owe their health and happiness to the
marvellous power Of this famous medi-
cine, made from roots and herbs
natures remedy for woman's ills.

Gently swaylng 10 and fro, huge
granite monolth forming unique nat
ural monument has been discovered
on Green mountain, several miles
north Of Canon City. Colo. II Is be-
lleved to be the only swinging monu-
ment" In the world.
The shaft Is more than 100 feet
high and In the course of manT years
has become free from all surrounding
earth formation except at the base,
which Is about IL feet wide. In the
center the granite column is about so
feet In thickness aud tapers of to a
width at the summit practically the
same as at the base.
The entire shaft moves probably
from two TO three feet at the apex.
and the swing Is constant under the
pressure Of light wIHds. The base OF
the shaft rests In small hollow about
three feet In depth and the contiguous
granite formation has been entirely
disconnected.
