father, is known as Sandy. Sandy, the

Graham and their sons are members

DO WOMEN SUFFER
MORE THAN MEN?

Physicians tell us the nervous sys-
tenn of woman is more sensitive than
that of man. And her nerves are
more susceptible to the influences
that produce nerve tension" (strain)
which is only another name for
pain"
That lis why women especially
benefit from Capudine, a pleasant
tasting, quick-acting remedy which
relieves high nervous tension and
pain by soothing the nerves. For
nervous headache, neuralgia, and
periodic pains Capudine is ideal. If
Capudine does not relieve, you may
be sure there is some organic condi-
ton which should receive the atten-
ton of your oculist, dentist or family
physician. Get Capudine today, and
if you do not prefer it to anything
else, the manufacturers will cheerfully
refund the price. Ask for Capudine

Lieutenant Governor Alexander
Hawkins Graham is known as Sandy
to his intimates and to the people of
the state at large, nickname those
who have seen him only as president
of the State senate are at a loss to
understand because of his dignity.
AWAY from the senate chamber, how
ever Sandy can unbend, and does.
He became candidate for the COVER

legislative session, announcing his
candidacy at the senate ''love feast
He was born August 8, 1890, in
Hillsboro, Orange county, and has
lived there all his life, except for in

state schools and serving overseas
during the World War He is the
son of Major John w. Graham, who
was born in Lincolnton, and Maggie
Bailey Graham, of Florida.
Public schools were not always as
good as they are now, so Sandy was
sent to the Hearst school, a grammar
school conducted by the granddaught-
ers of Alexander Wilson, who was
widely known in the state because of
the school for boys which he main
tanned for many years. After that
Sandy went to Alexandria, Va, to at

graduated to return to North Caro-

GRAHAM WANTS.
HIGHWAY SYS TE NJ
Advocates Changes and
More Rapid Repairs
To All Roads

Raleigh, May 25 = Enthusiasm
with which Sandy Graham's views on
road matters have been received has
led the Eillsboro mans supporters
to feel more confident than ever
that he will lead the field in the June
6 primary.
Mr.. Graham, in each speech he has
made for the past two weeks, has re-
ferred to the road situation and has
consistently advocated a complete re-
organization of the present highway
set-up and more rapid repairs to the
county or secondary roads.
His view is that the present high
way commission has lost touch with
the people and that it would be to the
best interests of the state to reorgan-
lie under new system.
Mr.. Graham advocates a highway
commission to be composed of eleven
members, one from each Compression
al district. In this way he feels that
each section will have its own repre-
sentative on the board who can keep
Informed of the condition of the roads
particularly the county roads-in
each county and act as advocate be-
fore the entire commission.
On the matter of repairs, Mr. Ora
ham has repeatedly urged that more
men be put to work repairing dam
age done by the recent hard winter.
He contends that there is surplus
enough in the highway funds to get
this work underway immediately and
to complete it long before 1887, the
date on which the present highway
commission says conditions will be
restored to normal.
