WHY NOT EVERETT FOR
GOVERNOR?
(From Troy Montgomerian,
March 30.)

Hon. w. N. Everett, of Rock
ingham, was a Troy, visitor last
week, having come up to be pres
ent at the meeting of the 18th
senatorial committee, which was
held at the court house on Tues
day of last week. While in the
city Mr.. Everett, who is one of
the best known business men in
the state, commented on the Won
derful progress that Troy and
Montgomery county is making in
the matter of schools and good
roads. He said, "that the road
that he drove over from Rock
ingham to Troy was one of the
best that he had seen in the en-
tire State" Mr.. Everett was in
terested in Montgomery's new
court house.
Mr.. Everett has represented
Richmond county in the general
assembly for the last several
years, and is a favorite among
the members of that body. And
it is said that he will be the
choice of the next house for
speaker if he desires the place.
He would make an excellent
speaker, and in our opinion
he would be a credit to the State
as it's governor, and since this
section of the State will be in
line for consideration three
years from now, for high honors
we wish to nominate Hon. w. N.
Everett, of Rockingham, for the
next governor of North Caro-
lima.

LAURINBURG WINS.

On March 18th the team from
the Rockingham N. & I. I. play
ed the team from the Laurin-
burg Normal School. The color
ed boys battled to an 8-8 tie for
Is innings. On March 9th the
same teams played IA innings
to a 90 tie. And so on last Mon
day, April 3rd, the two teams
met at the Fair Grounds to break
the tie. A couple Of hundred
colored people were on hand,
with probably two score white
friends. Professor DeBerry had
his pupils march to the grounds
in a body and they rooted loyal
ly even when their colors were
being lowered. Rockingham
had the edge until the sixth in
ming when timely hits and err
rors netted Lauringurg 3 runs.
The final score was 8-4 in favor
of Laurinburg. Everett and
Benton was the home battery,
and a young giant named Nc
Queen sent them cannon-ball
fashion, over the plate for Lau-
rinburg.

CLUB NOTES.
Mr.. "A. r. B. writes about a tunor.
Dear DR.. Reeder: Ever since you so
successfully treated my daughter a
dozen years ago we have tried to live
in accordance with your teachings and
have been fairly healthy family.
You will probably remember Anna's
case. They told US she was dying of
consumption, would not live six months
but she did and two years from the
time you first saw her she was strong
vigorous woman and is yet.
At present / have growth on my
arm, near the shoulder. It does not
pain but does annoy me. It is about
as large as a walnut, under the skin.
What can do to make it go away.
Answer: / am glad that Anna is
still well and I think. she will never
again be troubled with consumption.
She knows that the method of living
which will make sick person well
will also Keep a well person well and
she follows that method.
The growth is a fatty tunor, or
wen. The simplest clre is to have the
skin split open above it and slip the
tumor out. 1t will be we'll in a few
days. There are other and less heroic
methods but this will suit you best.

FARMERS CAN use
PEAT FOR FUEL
BOCS OF STATE. ABOUND WITH
CHEAP FUEL WHICH
BURNS READILY.

| Minnesota farmers and small town
residents need not very about the
threatened ccal shortage. They can
provide themselves with, winters
supply Of fuel without going far a6eld- =
fael about equal to air-dried wood, if
the threatened coal shortage should
become a reality, and if they act at
once. That is the cheering word
which comes from w.. R. Appleby,
director Of the Minnesota Mines Ex-
pertinent Station, and Prof. Peter
Christianson, former president of the
American Peat Society, both of the
University Of Minnesota.
Professor Appleby and Professor
Christianson not. only announce the
foregoing fact, but they have issued a
statement telling farmers and others
just how to. go about providing a
winters supply Of fuel from nearby
peat lands such as are scattered all
over the state. The gist of this state
ment follows:
t. 6ogS have Fe0t.
The sloughs, bogs, and marshes of
Minnesota contain a brown to black
fibrous soil known as peat. This
usually varies in thickness from the
edge to the center Of the bog. As a
rule it is thicker and of better fuel
quality toward the middle of a bog.
The further down the better the fuel
quality, though near the bottc.n it is
usually mixed with sand and clay and
is not so good.
! Bogs that have been drained for the
purpose of improving adjacent lands
for farming offer the most satisfac-
tory source for mining peat.
The simplest method is to select a
place on drained bog where the peat
is at least four feet thick.
| Cut Peat in Blocks.
With a sharp fiat ditching spade
dig down as far as practicable. Pre-
pare bank-like face from which blocks
of the peat may be cut with ease
blocks slightly larger than the ordinary
building brick. An old fashioned hay
knife such as is used for cutting stacked
hay is a good implement for making
the vertical, or up-and-doWn, cuts.
The horizontal cuts may be made with
sharp edged ditching spade.
The bricks should be stood on edge,
with air spaces between and allowed to
dry. After they have dried in part,
they should be stood on end for fur
ther drying.
Dry Peat Thoroughly.
If the peat is not fibrous, as may
be the case well below the surface, and
crumbles to easily for handling, il
may be mixed with water and kneadec
into the consistency Of ordinary NOR
tar, and then spread out on tht
smooth surface OF the bog to deptl
of about four inches and allowed tt
drain. After it has drained off, i
may be cut into bricks, to be handlet
as the bricks of more fibrous peat

THE DOVE OF PEACE

Oh, the dove is shot to pieces, and
1t wobbles as it flies, with its plumagc
all in creases and red pepper in its
eyes; every day it's sorely jolted. and
it looks about half moulted. and the
olive branch is bolted, and it sickens
and it dies. For the nations lust for
slaughter, as they used to long ago;
ali, poor dove the captains swat her,
hoping that the blood will flow; once
again the sabre rattles and the hag
Of warfare tattles tales of sieges and
Of battles, armies oozing to and fro.
There's crisis every morning and
threat of fire and sword; all the
lessons men are scorning that late
bloody days afford; every fifteen cent
commander hopes to be an Alexander,
and the dove looks like a gander That's
been batted with board All the
foreign states are busted, welching on
their wartime debts; few, if any
would be trusted for a pair of ciga,

and of marching and of killing, blood

tirely inadequate for an institution of the stand
ing of Earlham. The old gymnasium building
has been there for many years. entirely too small
and with an equipment that handicapped all eff
forts to accommodate the students.
Students have been trained in the high
schools to expect proper equipment for their
physical exercise and development. They do not
look upon a gymnasium a place to do athletic
stunts, but as building where they may obtain
the exercise needed for their physical well being.
The present plan should go long way toward
solving this pressing problem at Earlham. 1t
has given the faculty no amount of worry for
many years. If the funds are raised, and there
is no reason why the constituency of the institu-
ton should hold back, the improved athletic ia
ciities will answer badly needed want.
