Cox is malting a vigorous fight for the Presidency and the people who hear him are most favorably impressed. A whiskey still, about ready to begin business, was found in the penitentiary at Raleigh a few days ago. It is not explained how.it got there, but if it had not been found when it was there would have been some variations of the monotony of prison life. Mr. Lynn B. Whitted, one of the Democratic nominees for Coun ty Commissioner, ha* announc ed his inability to accept the nomination on account of the de mands of his private business. He would have made a good offi . cial and his friends will regret his decision. Money is needed for the legiti mate expenses of the Cox-Roose velt campaign and Democrats are urged to make any contributions they feel inclined to make. This paper will receive and forward any contributions, or they may be sent to J. M. Bronghton, Chair man Finance Committee for N. C. Cox-Roosevelt Campaign Fund, Raleigh, N. C. ✓Republican women are being gathered up and carried to tbe registrars for registration. In this respect the Democrats should be just as diligeut as the Republi cans. A majority of the women, ' no doubt, were satisfied to let the men do the voting, .but now that tbe right of suffrage has been con- 1 ferred upon them, it is inoumbent upon them, as voters, to do their part in the election of, com- , patent and trustworthy officials. North Carolina has a popula- 1 tion of 2,556,486, according to cen sus figures just given oul—-a gain of 350,199 or 15.9 percent in ten years Alamance county is given 32,- 718 against 28,712 in 1910, a gain of 13.95 percent. , The population dt tbe United States will reach-nearly 106,000,- 000, not including the island pos sessions, which will add about 12,000,000 more. » Sunk Without Warning Tbe New York World says that Senator Harding'a substitute for the League of Nations haa been sunk without warning by Elihn Root, who not only torpedoed it but shelled the survivors. The Republican candidate, who baa a hard job to keep at once the support of Johnson and Borah and other bitter-enders and the sup port of Taft, Wlokershain and other advocates of the League of Nations, nailed his flag to a camouflaged vessel, the Interna tional Court, to take the place of the League of Nations. Mr. Root, however, shows that tbe Interna tional Court that Benator Harding adopted as a substitute for the League of Nations is simply an inatrumentof that league, derives its power from the league and de pends upon the league to give validity and force to its decisions Until tbe United StaU-a join* the League pf Nations we will have jio voice or power in forming the International Court. Mr. Root certainly destroyed Senator Harding's pet idea with out leaving a trace. To keep beets from fading when e-tnned, keep in water of one tem perature. That is, when you par tMiit tbe beeta to get off the skin, do not plunge into cold water to re move. Peel with knife and fork as yon do Iri*h potatoes. \Vhn canned, cover with paper or put in the dark. —————— I The Republican boys out to "gat the money" showed they ».»w -ft jydjt Tar Heels in Early Western History. ——r- Cor. of The Gleaner. Chapel Hill,.N. C., Oct. s.—lt, is a long way tfrom North Caro lina to the PaCifle Coast, but Prof. Collier Cobb, bead of the depart ment of geology at the University «of North Carolina, who a» a Iveuan research profenHor is study ing shore-line processes in relation to harbor development on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, has worked oat a remarkable close relationship between North Caro limans and far westerners, built around the part Tar Heels played in early western history. In an address before the Rain ier Club in Seattle reijontly Prof. Cobb, who has just finished his study of the shore-lines from Alaska down to Tacouaa, told the Seattle people more a out their early history than they them«eives knew. "Your own King County w.is named after Vice-President William R. Kin*;, a native of North Carolina and a graduate of the university', Prof. Cobb said. "Many of the islands, points and bays in this section were named by Captain Charles Wilkes, the same man who removed the Confederate commissioners, Ma son and ttlideli, from the British ship Trent aud almost involved tbe United States in war with Eng.and. Wilkes was a North Carolinian and many of his familv live there now, some of them in Charlotte. He entered Pugett Sound in 1841 and left many names here which he took largely from officers of his,ship. "Among these officers were Lieut. Robert B. Johns m, a North Carolinian, who was tbe first American to see and describe Mount Rainier, Lieut. Overton Carr, after whom an inlec was named, was another North Caro linian, as were two midshipmeri, George M. Totteu and William May; also Lieutenant Maury, a Virginian, who had received bis Master's degree from the Univer sity of North Carolina, is remem bered by a large island named after him. "Captain Wilkes named Ba'in- MrjPge Island after his' friend, Admiral Bainbridge, who had killed Deeatur in a duel. Elliott .Bay was paqted after Chaplain J. L. Elliott, another North Caro linian." Prof. Cobb also related that Captain John Blakely,. Com mander of the famous "Wasp in the war of 1812, had at least two points in Puget Sound named after him. Blakaly was an alum nus of the Univevftity. After investigating Oregoo shore-lines Prof. Cobb will leave for a twd months' trip to the ori ent where be will study shore lines along the Siberian and China coasts and in the Philippine Islands, with special reference to harbor.possibilities. His present work is*in continuation of studits he has been making' for many yean* He has Already covered much of tji» shore-line of the Mediterranean aud along the French, Dutch, and Belgian coasts. Prof. Cobb will return to Chapel Hill next fail and resume his work in the University. The Covenant, The Covenant of the League of Nations is omitted from the Re publican textbook because it is "too long" or "not interesting." The Covenant is not a lengthy document; it takes less thin ten pages of the Democratic textbook. It is about as much as ten pages of an ordinary novel. Steps are being taken to make it easily possible for every Ameri can voter to obtain a copy of the Covenant of the league.

Primitive man wore a collar for or namentation, before he wore much of anything else, so tbe stiff collar Is, not s modern part,of man's attire. In tbe fourteenth century neck chains, or "liv ery collars," wpre worn In England, symbolizing allegiance to one or an other feudal baron. These collars are still used In European officialdom by orders of knighthood. The collar raf fle became the vogue among tbe rich. Later, whep starch was Introduced from Slanders, more people could af ford the ruffles, and they assumed such proportions that a proclamation was Issued sgalnst them. Even tbe chuijrh took steps to reduce tbelr sice. In the United States collars wejre in general use In They stood straight up and were conducive to anything but comfort. ' . Has BO Species of Blrda. Costa Rica Is about the same slse as West Virginia, but over 660 species of Isnd birds have been fonnd In that little Central American republic, whereas, in all America north of Mex ico only some GOO species are known. And'in the Andean region, within an even smaller area, a*larger number of birds haa been recorded than from Costa Rica. In Andean Colombia, for example, expeditions of the American Museum of Natural History actually secured specimens of over 1,160 spe cies of land birds, or more than twjee as many as exist In the United States, Canada and Greenland. In tropical South America bird's are practically nonmlgratory. They are, therefore, continuously subjected to the Influ ences of their surroundings and do .not mix with birds from other two factors of the utmost Importance 'ln the evolution of species. When Baby Swallows Air. Babies 'often swallow air, which causes much discomfort,' Dr. A. Yll poe writes In the Therapeutlsche Halbmonatschefte (Berlin). But they are not nearly so likely to do this If fed when lying prone, tbe head raised or turned on one side. Lying on the abdofnen Is often enough to break the habit When this falls he has the baby lie on a flat hammock stretched from bead to footboard of the cflb, and he says the unsteadiness and movements of the hammock, supple menting the prone position, divert the child's attention and make It forget to swallow air. s Vanishing Languages. • Nowhere In .America bss there been such a diversity of Indian langtfcges' as In California. But these languages are now rapidly disappearing. Sev eral of them are known onlyjty Ave or six and others by only twenty or thir ty living persons, and hardly a year passes without some dialect or even language, ceasing to exist through the death sf tbe last individual able to speak It Efforts are being made to record all these languages for the sake ot the light they throw on the ancient history of the Pacific coast. — Sun and New JOrk Herald. Queer Insects. Beveral species of Insect are com monly found living In the Ice and snow of xUclers. Most of them be long to th™order of "spring-tails'* and are'so minute that they es&pe the at tention of mmt passersby. On certain glaciers millions snd millions of little worms may* be seen during the sum mer, wriggling on the surface of the Ice. When the sun Is particularly hot they retreat Into their holes In the Ice, sometimes a distance of many feet. — Ladles' Home Journal. Suspension Bridge. The Scientific American says that the suspension bridge over the- Snake river near Twin Palls In southern Idaho, la the highest tn America, If not In the world.
