DIR. SCOTT SPEAKS ON THE
SESOUI-CENTENNIAL

Thursday, at $50, some 40 men
sat down to fine repast, prepared
by the Asbury group at the M. e.
church. DR.. Scott gave an address
on the 150th anniversary of the set
tlement of the Northwest Territory,
comprising six states now the most
populous and wealthy in the whole
country. No wonder it was claimed
at times by French, Spanish and
English, and bone of contention
among them. 1t was really Gen.
Revolution, drove out and defeated
English and Indians alike who made
it possible for the new nation to
call this great domain a part of the
United States. After the Revolu-
tionary war; congress passed the Or
dinance of 1887, and the first settle
ment under this ordinance was made
at Marietta, April 6, of the next
year This was made under the
Ohio Company led by Rufus Putnam
and Manasseh Cutler, and the tract
totaled six million acres. Starting
from Ipswich, Mass, Dec. 3, this
many states, will stage pageants
along the same trail reaching Ma
rietta April s, 1898. Costumes of
that period will be worn and the AS
states, will impersonate Washinton,
Jefferson and the other great
patriots of that time. The cavalcade
will reach McConnelsville, drawn by
oxen and covered wagons, early IN
the summer, and the event will be
one unparalleled in the history of
our city. The movement is educa-
tional in motive, and everyone
should support it.-XX.

ing the line of the bust, Slimming
the waist and smoothing the hip.
The following bust exercise is
recommended by a 40-year-old
dancer whose figure has the lovely
contours of young girl:
Position: Stand with feet apart.
Hold the body perfectly still, tight
ening all the groin muscles, arms
held straight out at the sides,
palms down, shoulder level.
Movement: Without lowering
the shoulders or moving the hips,
move the entire torso to The right,
back to the first position, and
then to the left. Perform slowly
and keep the hips still.
This exercise is difficult to per-
form but it will repay you for the
effort, as it reaches the important
muscles under the breasts.
The second exercise not only
strengthens the pectorals but fills
in the "saltcellarS" at the base
of the throat, giving a loVeller
contour.
Position: Standing in an erect
posture. arms extended in front of
the body, Shoulder-Width apart,
palms down. Hands gripping small
objects of equal weight, such as
dumbbells.
Movement: Gripping an d
reaching forward with the arms,
lower right arm about one and one
half feet. AS the right arm is
brought back to shoulder height,
the left arm is lowered. Repeat
II times, performing slowly, grip
ping steadily, and consistently
reaching out with the arms. Do
not allow the shoulders to go for
ward. Remember, it is the grip
and the reach from which you
benefit in this exercise.
The following exercise IS
chosen because it strengthens the
pecCorals as it Sims the waist:
Position: Stand erect, arms
stretched above head. width OF
shoulders apart.
Movement: Bend to the left

March 26.-Congressman
Bob Doughton's last visit to Raleigh
was followed by assurances from
citizens of the ninth congressional
district that Farmer Bob is going to
run against Senator Bob Reynolds
in the contest of 1898.
Doughton had nothing to say on
the subject here or elsewhere, but
he gets a lot of letters urging him
to 60 in and put Reynolds out. And
the fact that voters of the ninth dis
trict are discussing Erskine Smith,

an, and Hugh Mitchell, of Iredell,
seems to be related in some wise to
an expected retirement of Mr..
Doughton from Congress as the
ninth representative.
The Doughton declaration would
be mighty welcome in many parts
where the inability of Senator Rey-
nolds to "grow up" is no little re-
sented. The Reynolds support of
President Roosevelt has help Rey-
holds a great deal; but the Doughton
record is even better. The Farmer

Celebrate Easter
375-Piece Band AWakeS winston
Salem Easter Morning

A litany from the Threats OF $4,000
or 10000 persons, sonorous beneath
the budding trees of old Salem, roll
ed back to Bishop j. Kenneth Pfohl
this Easter dawn as, standing on the
steps TO the Home Moravian church,
he proclaimed once more, THE
Lord is risen"
Then, while bright early morn
ing sun cast its long shadows, the
band in the old burying ground
playing antiphonally, the throng
visited the "City of Equal Dead"
where no man may have a more
pretentious resting place than his
neighbor.
Bishop Pfohl and B. j. Pfohl, di-
rector of the 375-piece band for al
most a half a century, said the
crowd was probably slightly larger
than at any of the 167 previous
Easter celebrations.
AS every year since the Moravians
first settled here, old Salem and its
younger twin, Winston, with its
thousands of visitors from many
lands, were awakened at a. M, by
the exultant peals of many trumpets
as the bands roamed the city to
serve notice of another Easter morn.

Makes List of 10
Words Used Most

Now come the ten "most over
worked" words.
Wilfred j. Funk, who took time
out from his activities as diction-
airy maker, magazine editor, book
published, and poet, to compile the
list, not only picked the words but
named classes of people he considers
their most fragrant abusers."
Your education, charm, and relat-
ed qualities, he thinks, can be meas
ured inversely with the frequency
with which you use his ten words.
Here's the list and the folks accused
of being chief offenders:
1. children and shopgirls.
2. Terrific-aIl persons exposed
to Hollywood for "a hours or more.
3. Lousy-ditto.
f. Contact Cloth verb and noun)
advertising workers.
5. Definitely-society.
6. Gal-Broadwayites.
7. Racket-tradesmen.
8. Swell-interior decorators
g. Impact-columnists and COM
mentators.
Funk's interest in words led him
fo~compile a widely publish list Of
the Zen most beautiful" several
years go. He thought a. list of the
ten most 0xertworked" might prove
worthwhile by encouraging people
to avoid their use. ~
Lots of other people besides
those listed are over-working these
words, but have tried to name the
worst offenders" he explained. 1T
seems like everything that's good,
bad or Indifferent is a honey to a
broker, and in Hollywood there
seems to be no middle ground be-
tween terrific and the antonym,
lousy"
He deplored the evidence that
'gal" is making girl" obsolete in
many quarters.
AS for Park avenue saying Eyes,
definitely definitely so" and ''def-
initely" lot of other things, Funk
thinks the socialites of this country
are becoming British-minded, what
with the last Kings jubilee, Mrs.
Simpson and the impending corona
ton becoming so important to them
in the last few years.
''The joke is they think it's an
aristocratic English word, whereas
the fact is that the English char
women or dustman (the lowliest
type of house maid and the garbage
collector, to you) can hardly bear
to leave definitely out of a SEN
tence."
When Funk chose his most beau
tiful words in the English language
dawn, hush, lullaby, murmuring,
tranquil, mist, luminous, chimes,
golden and melody-he- ran into

has not merely voted and spoken for
Roosevelt; the congressman has
worked for him. Doughton boosters
think the Congressman would have
no trouble trimming the senator.
Speaker Gregg Cherry, of the late
house of representatives in Raleigh,
came out with his reputation en-
HANGED and he might be induced to
enter the race. Judge Wilson War
lick has been the toast of westerners
a long time; but the speaker and the
judge would decline to run if
Doughton would be willing to race
Reynolds. By 1888 something impor-
tant in the development of the Ii
quor issue will have happened. And
Farmer Bob would get the benefit,
it is felt.
Anyway, residents of Rowan,
Stanly, Iredell, Cabarrus and Alex
ander say that all newspaper writ
ers who have put Doughton out have
written prematurely. The Farmer is
by no means certain that he hasn't
another campaign in his system, so
they say.-Greensboro Daily News.
