LIBERALS CONTINUE TO GAIN IN
 ENGLAND.

The Liberals captured another Conservative seat when Mrs Walter Runcman a by election in St. Ives to the British Parliament. The Labor Party changed from second to third place in the voting, due to transfers from that party to the Liberal Both the Conservatives and the Laborites cast fewer votes than at the preceding election. On the same day that the Liberals won the St. Ives contest from the Gov ernment there was a by-election in Middles- borough, to fill Liberal vacancy, and the Lib erals held the seat.
 While the Liberals have a long way to go to re-establish the party in England, they have gained number of seats through by-eleetions since the reorganization with David Lloyd George the party leader.
 The Manchester Guardian, stanch tribune O English Liberalism, commenting upon the Cornisf by-eection in St Ives. sees much to hearten th Liberal Party in that country. It said:
 Two elections of hrst-rate importance
 have taken place this week. Both in
 St Ives and Middlesborough the Liberals
 have done well B elections at this
 time have very special importance as
 Illustrating not merely the growth of
 Liberal opinion in the country but also
 the consolidation of opinion within the
 party. The two things are closely con
 nected. since union is "a condition of
 success and disunion only too surely
 spells defeat. It matters enormously how
 far the full program, broadly speaking,
 of progressive Liberalism is accepted
 all sides within the party how far
 there is such substantial cleavage of
 opinion as would imply virtually sep
 arate program From both these points
 of view St. Ives brings message of
 cheer. To begin with, it is small
 thing that, in a three-cornered fight,
 Conservative majority of 1,247 should
 have been turned into Liberal majority
 of 763, a turnover of 2,000 votes, or
 if the votes of the Labor candidate be
 added of more than 5000. On all hands
 St Ives has been recognized, so far as
 Cornwall is concerned, key con

MRS. BLAIR'S REMARK.

Amid all the welter of pre-eonyeh-
 ton statements, claims, appeals and pro
 nunciamentos, little remark by Mrs
 Emily Newell Blair, Vice-Chairman of
 the Democratic National Committee,
 comes as a refreshing note.
 Mrs Blair proposes that party plat
 plains, just a bore.
 Probably it won't be done But it
 is fascinating idea Recall the way
 platforms are thrown together at Ma
 tional Conventions with such studied
 eagerness to put nothing in them that
 offend the most sensitive; and then
 recall the way they promptly for

 with the lady Ketchikan Chronicle) There have. been precedents apenty for Mrs Blar's suggestion. The old Whig Party made it practice not to adopt platforms. But with the Whigs platforms were scarcely necessary That party was first and foremost against Presi- dent Jackson and anything he stood for. So in- terested was it in trying to bring about the downfall of Jackson that it even hirted with the Anti-Masone Party. However, as precedent the Whig Party is not encouraging II won only two Presidential elections in the course of its lifetime and one of those by scratch, when the Democrats divided and enough of then in New York State supported Ex-President Var Buren against Gen. Cass, the regular nominee to give that State to Gen. Taylor, the platform less Whig.

RENAME ORPHANAGE
FOR JOHN II. MILLS

Mills Baptist Orphanage will be
the new name of the Thomasville
Baptist orphanage, located at
Thomasville, following action of the
State Baptist convention in session
at High Point last week. The mo-
ton was presented from the floor by
Rev. NJ A. Adams of Rutherfordton,
and passed without discussion.
The new name is to honor the
memory of John H. Mills, founder
and early friend of the orphanage,
who for ten years was its first su-
perintendent. The record of his
service beginning November II,
1885; is a page OF united effort and
sacrifice that has made possible the
building of one of the outstanding
charitable institutions of the south.
lie was identified with every phase
OF its early history, and received the
commendation of his successors. j.
B. Boone served for ten years, and
since 1905, DR.. M. L. Kesler has
been the efficient superintendent.
The institution has taken front rank
in the new idea of mothers aid, in
the perfection of which the whole
methods of orphanage administra
ton have been enhanced in value
and service.
This is the final action on the
change of name subject to the ap-
proval of the state of North Caro-
lima, since the institution is regu-
larly incorporated under the laws of
the state.

JOHN ERALY, FAMOUS LEPER,
PRONOUNCED "RECOVERED"

Washington, Nov. 18-The United
States public health service today
announced John Early, 54-year-old
North Carolina mountaineer, whose
many escapes from leper colonies
caused CONSERVATION among health
officials, had recovered" from lep-
rosy.
'In scientific parlance his leprosy
is arrested" said statement issued
by the health service.
The announcement hailed Early's
case as another triumph in modern
medicine" and credited the noun
taineer's "eccentricities" with hav-
ing contributed much to the passage
of the law placing lepers under care
CT the public health service and to
awakening public interest in the
leprosy problem in this country.
Early, who once resisted with a
rifle efforts to confine him in the
national leper home at Carville, La,
where he recovered, will return this
month to his home in the mountains

disease but carrying its scars.
Early's recovery was brought
about by the injection of Chaul-
moogra oil. Up until year ago
these injections caused excruciating
pain to the patient for several hours
but new method of administration
by mixing a harmless anesthetic with
each dose was developed and Early,
along with the other patients at
Carville, welcomed the improved
method.
Early shocked the national capi-
tai in 1928 when he registered at
downtown hotel following an escape
from Carville. Again in 1927, he
hid himself at his North Carolina
home and resisted efforts to capture
him until he surrendered May 4,
1927, to the federal authorities, and
returned to the leper home, where he
subsequently submitted to treat
ment.

CIVITANS HEAR TALK BY
MRS. SMITH HACAMAN

Last weeks meeting of the Boone
Civitan Club was held at the Black
burn hotel with about twenty mem
bers present. The ladies of the
local Methodist church erv d
luncheon, which was greatly enjoyed
by the members and a number Of
guests.
The main feature of the meeting
was talk by Mrs. Smith Hagaman
on child welfare work, pointing out
that a recent survey of the school
children of the county showed a
very large number of undernourish-
ed pupils. With one exception, Mrs.
Hagaman said, Boone school dis
district had the largest percentage
of undernourished pupils of any
school in the county-about 33 per
cent of the number examined by
Miss Hobbs, Of the state depart
ment of health. Mrs. Hagaman plead
for cooperation of the club mem
bers in establishing a hot lunch
counter in the Demonstration school.
She said arrangements had been
practically completed for the estab-
lishment Of the lunch room, and that
final details would be worked out
at a meeting of the ParentTeach-
er Association this Thursday aft
ernoon, to which meeting she in
vited members of the club and pat
rons of the school generally to at
tend.
President Moose named Civilians
E. N. Hahn, A. Y. Howell and W..
H. Gragg as a committee from the
club to cooperate with other civic
and church organizations here in
the distribution of Christmas CIV
ing, this being done in order to
eliminate over tapping and duplicat-
ing in the distribution of gifts dur
ing the holiday season.
All members present signified
their intention of attending the
meeting of the Carolinas Association
at Salisbury Wednesday of this
week. A prize will be given the club
having the largest percentage of its
members in attendance, and the
local club is going to make a strong
bid for the prize.
