Where Our Minds Disagree
. 4 i \ 4 i j. j. j. !. !. !. i i

In our recent short survey OF
the primary system, we noted the
highly important fact that the
number of voters who are actually
participating in the nomination OF
public officials is now more than
fifty per cent of all, whereas under
the old caucus and convention sys-
TEN it was only about seven per
cent.
What does this fact really sig
nifty? For the truth is that che
whole controversy over the pri-
mary system hangs upon this SIM
pie question. Does it mean that
there is less chance for corruption
and for the control of nominations
by unprincipled bosses? If it
does, the issue would be already
settled, for there are no good citi-
zens who do not wish to see poll
tics made clean.
There is large number of peo-
pie who hold that the larger the
number of voters who take part in
the nomination Of our public Off
Gals, the smaller will be the chance
for fraud, and the harder it will be
for INSCRIPTIONS politicians to
carry their evil designs to sue
oassful end. These are the per-
sons who are standing so stoutly
at present for the primary system
as against the old convention sys-
tenn. In their minds, the worst
feature of our entire system of
government is the ease with which
tricky and corrupt men can make
use of it for the furtherance of
their own sinister ends. They be-
lieve that there is far more of this
than most of us suspect, and that
the smaller the number of voters
who take part in the nomination
of officers, the easier it is for the
bosses to carry out their nefarious
schemes. Therefore, they say, any
plan that will increase seven-fold
the number Of voters who partici-
pate in nominations is to be looked
upon as a long step in advance.

Don't Sweep Sick Rooms


Don't use broom or even q
vacuum cleaner in room occupied
by a person who is very ill. In
stead have a person who can move
about quietly wipe up the floor with
a damp cloth wrung out of water
containing small proportion of
disinfectant, preferably one of a
mild odor. Strong odors annoy in
valids.
For bluffs, grays, or any delicate
color one level tablespoon of black
pepper dissolved in 12quarts of boil
ing water will set the color. Allow
it to remain until cold.
For gray linen strong tea made
of common hay is sometimes used.
In setting the color in any material
always rinse thoroughly before
hanging up to dry.
Sprinkle Dry Flour in Tin to Test the
Heat
To test your oven when baking
cake, sprinkle dry -four on tin and
place it in the oven. If it Is nicely
Drowned in five minutes, the oven
is right. Or put piece Of white
paper in your oven and if it has
turned yellow in five minutes, the
oven is right for most cakes.
Removing Grease Spots
To remove grease spots from car
pets mix fuller's earth and magnesia
together in equal proportions by
scraping and pounding. Form this
into paste with hot water and
spread on the spots. The next day
brush it off and, if necessary, repeat
the process. 1t is satisfactory.

WHO SHOULD BE ELECT
ED SCHOOL COMMISSION
ERS BY COUNTY COURT.

Mr.. Editor:
Feeling a very great interest for
| the education of the children OF
| Henry County, and believing as
/ do that the most important question
that our county court has been, or
will be called upon to act on in
| many years, is the election of seven
| school commissioners on the first
| Monday in July, who under the
| recent act of the legislature will
| have charge and direct and control
all the schools in Henry County,
| employ the teachers and look after
the welfare of the children. To this
end desire to say that no man
should be elected commissioner; CT
| care not how well he is qualified. /
unless he has direct personal In
terest in the education of some par
ticular child or children. What ]
mean to say is, that no one should
be elected commissioner who has not
| children of his own, or grandchil
dren, or charge of some children to
educate.
Speaking from personal experience,
desire to say that / have, in every
way that I could, always advocated
and supported the education of the
children of my county and state.
This interest was very manifest and
personal as long as / had children
OF my own in school. When my
children finished school, necessarily

ana this revives an interest l could
not feel after my own children had

l need not argue the importance
of the education of our children. be.
cause we all know that in this day
and time young man or woman
who hasn't fair high school edu
cation, has but poor chance in the
race of life. The time was when
education was not so important.
Then men of comparatively little
education might succeed in business
but not so today under the new order
of things.
In my judgment we should elect at
least two women on this educational
board, as they know more of the
necessities and the qualifications of
teachers to be employed to teach
the smaller children, than men can
possibly know. l want to suggest
that the directors should be elected
without regard to their political OF
religious associations. We should
not inquire whether a man is
Democrat or Republican; to what
church he belongs. But they should
be selected alone for their qualifi-
cations or fitness for the position,
the greatest of all being a personal
interest in some child or children.
These suggestions are made with
the hope that all those interested
in the welfare and education of our
children, and especially the justices
of the peace, may read them and
think about them.
Permit me to say that l am not a
candidate nor will not be for COM
missioner, and could not accept the
position If it We're unanimously ten
dered me. Therefore this communi-
cation is prompted alone from the
patriotic standpoint of doing the
best we can for all of the children
of our county.
Respectfully,

When you wake up with baekaehe and dull misery in the kidney region 1t generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a we'll known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them. like you relieve your bowels; removing all the bodys urinous waste. else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic itwinges.

GIRL SAVES NEGRO

Attempts to Shoot White Man and Runs Into Store Where

Greensboro, October s.-(Special. )- The coolness and presence of mind of a young woman probably saved a negro's life today and prevented he stain of a lynchins from resting on Greensboro's fair name. According to officers, Charlie Jockisch had an all tercation with a negro~ named Will Hopkins at his home in North Hale. On arriving in Greensboro today about 12 o'clock he met the negro and the dispute was renewed. The Eegro's father stepped up at the lime and drew his pistol on Mir. Jockisch. Fortunately it snapped and MT. Jock isch ran, followed by the negro, brahdishing the pistol, but in a sec- ond's time the streets were alive with white men coming to Mir. Jockischs aid.
 The negro, seeing the mob gather ing. ran into Apsey's store, closely pursued by the infufiated men. Every man in the store was dazed to see negro rushing in with a pistol in his hand followed by so many men, Only the young wofnan in question had the forethought to quickly close the door, putting her foot against it, as she did not have the key. The men remembered their southern chival~y and would not force the door, though they demanded admittance, but she calmly shook her head. Finally the sheriff came, when she allowed him to enter. but kept back the rest After keeping the negro in Apsey's for about an hour and a half he was spirited out of side entrance and put in jail. Tonight the city has quieted down and no further trouble IS expected. The negro was taken to selma tonight for safe keeping.
