If j'our brain is 'overburdened and yuur mind is sluggish, net in motion again, for your legs are gtkid doc torn. A brisk walk exercises the dormant muscles, stimulates the circulation of blood and brightens the mind. It is good for good v people and better for the bad ones. It is all to the good. Do you know that it is impossi ble to contract malaria without first being bitten by a mosquito? It's a fact, for mosquitoes alone spread the malarial germ. The mosquito gets in its deadly wofk in the darl( hours of; night, when the weatiier is hot and the windows are open and the people longing for a little fresh air. H undreds of thousands of lives might be saved if more attention were( paid to the screening of windows and doors, and especially is this the case where little children ire growing up. The lime for the mosquito is at hand?put up your screens and saye your children. The gathering of the great in ventors and scientists of the couu try together and the formation of a board to cooperate with the navy department at Washington causes one to stop and ponder the "why" of this sudden activity on the part of the secretary of the navy. Is the country in danger of in vasion by a foreign foe? Is the government in posession of secret information which impels this sudden gathering of the brains of the nation in the aid of national defenae? It is a question which we can not answer and wbicli of course the government will not answer, yet one can not suppress the thought that beneath the surface calm a volcano lies ready to burst. No candidates for the nomina nation of Lieutenant Oovenor b.v the Republicans have been openly mentioned by the leaders of that party for the reason that there are no chances even remote of election and then they only talk about the big places?for as everybody knows "talk is cheap"?so they only talk of the big places. But the Demo crats have some big timber in tl.e political woods from which to make their choice and the Hon. O. Max Gardner, of Shelby, has already announced hi meet f for Lieutenant Goveuor. He is young in years but old in ex|>erience. He has served several terms in the State Senate and has been president pro tern of that body. He understands every detail of that body and would make a splendid Lieutenant Gove uor, as a Urge part of his duties would be to Dreslde over the de liberations of that body by virtue of the office which carries with it the Presidency of the Senate. This is of importance to the State as he has the anpoimment of the various committees. The Wil mington Star referring to Gardner says he is "young and stalwart, puseaaes many elements of a pro gressive, though far from radical.' Hon. H. Neill Pharr. of Clay ton, has also announced himself for this office. He too has had large experience in the State Sen ate. been President nrotem of that body. He is well fitted for the place. At this writing it is hard to make a forecast of the outcome in this race but Gardner is going to be a bard man to beat. He is a fighter by nature but be fights fairly and will not strike below the belt. 4< is going to appeal wonderfully strong to the young Democracy. ? rwt ??
