Second Primary Will
Be Held On July 5th
The second Democratic Primary fcr
the purpose of finally determining
the nominees for tfce party in the fall
elections will be held on July 5th,
according to announcement made pub
lie a few days ago by Chairman H.
D. Akin of the Board of Elections.'
Only two names will apear on thej
ballots as the candidates for all offices
were determined in the first
primary by default, by clear major- I
ity of \otes cast or by refusal of sec-!
and high candidates to contest for
the nomination ina second primary.
The one office fcr which th^ nominee '
will be named in this primary is that
of Commissioner cf Labor and Printing,
for which the present incumbent,
M. L. Shipman, ^nd Frank P. Grist
are contending. It is not expected
that much interest will be manifested
in this primary.
Silvertown means?
highest quality, low
cost, long service,
? and finally ?
Tremendous satisfaction.

known as the Oaklune Knitting Mill-,
Incorporated, the building costing

in addition to several smaller structures.
The new high school building that
is about completed is a source of
pride to Murphy citizens. This
building, costing around $30,000 will
house the four high school grades,
while the building previously used
will be devoted to the grades.
Murphy Methodists are erecting
one of the handsomest church edifices
in the extrem western part of

around $60,000. Work is expected
to be ccmpleted during the summer.

A new jail structure, costing
MURPHY, NOR fH CAROLINA
around $55,000, has recently been
erected by Cherokee County in Murphy.
The jailor and his family occupy
the first floor, while the county
records are kept in the third, only
the second floor being used for detaining
criminals.
Cherokee County and Murphy in
conjunction, purchased during the
year 12 acres of land, which have
been developed into fair grounds
and baseball park. Improvements
have been made, by erecting a fair
building, grading, fencing, setting
hedges* and other attractive features.
Probably $200,000 will not go far
above the figures on home constructi

The farmers of this section wire
glad to see the rain last Thursday as
it refreshed up their gardens and
made everything1 look lively. We
thing that the people art going to,
take more interest in farming now,
anyway, as they soon will be driving
over the Dillard Highway to market.

more good speaking and it seemed
that everybody were enjoying themselves.
We think everybody were
well pleased with the way that things
were carried out. Th next convon- !

Secure Good
Fall Pasture By
Planning Now
Raleigh, June 17.?Farmers who
intent! to sow a permanent pasture
next fall should be petting ready for
it now. The grasses and clover usually
sown in pasture mixtures require
a soil well supplied with organic
matter and lime, as well as plant
focd.
**A good way to prepare for this
pasture and to provide the organic
matter is to grow soy beans on the
land this summer, says E. C. Blair,
extension agronomist for the State
College of Agriculture.
"Under favorable conditions soybean
will make a big growth, and
incidentally gather from the air
tbout ten dollars worth of nitrogen
for each ton of dry wcaght. The
sty beans should be turned under
thrs fall at least twfcr weeks before
sowing the grass. If the growth Is
too rank to turn under well, the crop
may he partly hogged off. A good
double discing will help to put it in
condition to turn well. Do not cut
the beans for hay. After breaking,
harrcw the land frequently until time
to sow the grass. The best date for
sowing the pasture in thi- ?tate is*
from September 1 to 15. in the piedmont
section and from September 15
to October 1 in the coastal plain region.
"Many North Carolina soils are
too acid for a good pasture without
liming. The amount usually n? edetf
is one to two tons <?f ground limctor.e
per acre. If half of this he
applied in the sprng it will benefit
the soybeans, as well as the pasture.
The other half, e?r the- total amount
where no 1 me \va- used in the
spring, is to be put on and harrowed
n after turning tht soybeans.
"The soybeans should he well
fertilized with acid phosphate amd
potash. For the pasture mixture,
use a liberal amour.t of hiuh grade
complete fertilizer."

"If Your Pain Is There,
What You Need Is a Good
Tonic For the Kidneys"
The kidneys arc the scavengers and
they work day and night in separating
and the poisons from the blood.
Their signals otf distress are easily
recognized and include such symptoms
as lumbago, backache, depressions,
drowsiness, irritability, headaches,
dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
I dropsy.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as
do the bowels, need to be flushed
occasionally. The kidneys are an
eliminative organ and arc constantly
i working, separating ^ the poisons
from the blood. Under this con|
tinuai and perpetual action they are 13
apt to congest, and then trouble jj
starts. Uric acid backs up into the I
- v rm. rausintr rheumatism, neural- I
pia, dropsy and many other serious
. disturbances. It means that you arc
a victim of uric acid poisoning- Then
ask your druggist for Atiuric (anti
uric acid) and you will very soon become
one of hundreds who h ive been
helped by this powerful enemy to
uric acid.
