Dr. Coue, who made a world-wide;,
reputation a few years ago by his 1
auto-suggestive method of curing dis
ease, is dead at the age of 69, an
age when many men who have never
said once “Better and better every
day in every way” are still hale and
hearty. The good old constitution is
after all the best assurance of health
and long life, but unfortunately a
fellow cannot choose his constitution. J
The Sanford Express calls atten
tion to the fact that Sanford is be
coming quite a convention city. Cer- <
tainly, there is scarcely another town ,
of any size in the state more ap- '
proachable by rail and highway, and
with the excellent hotel there now the .
good old town should be the logical
meeting place for many organiza
tions. The last convention on San
ford’s slate was that of the R. F. D
carriers, who met there oMnday many
hundred strong.
The state ends its fiscal year with
more than a million dollars surplus.
This is indued gratifying and re- 1
fleets considerable credit upon Gov
ernor McLean’s administration. When
this writer has a few dollars not im
mediately necessary for bread and
meat he pays it out on the mortgage
debt. Good old N. C. has quite a lot
of similar debts, and it would be no
bad idea to do as the ordinary indi
vidual would do, or pay it out on cur
rent expense that is requiring addi
tional bond issues. Certainly, the ex
istence of a surplus should not sug
gest additional expenditures in the
departments in which it has been
saved unless there lias actually been
failure to function effectively.
Death presented itself in both its
most beneficent and cruelest aspect in
this county last week. No more
kindly disposition could have been
made in the case of the poor old
crazy negro, jailed a few weeks ago
after killing his daughter near ’Gold
ston, than his quietly passing to the
great beyond. On the other hand, it
is almost inconceivable how the grim
reaper could have been more cruel
than in the taking of the fifteen-year
old son of Will Johnson, colored, of
Hickory Mountain township, who was
dragged a mile and a half by a mule
after he had fallen and become en
tangled in the harness or lines, hav
ing his clothes and part of his flesh
torn from his tormented body.
It is the week of the fourth and
advertising happens to be at its low
est ebb. Hence, we are making only
a half-size paper. However, all the
county news we can gather is here.
The fact is, we deliberately have our
type set very close in order that we
may have room for big advertising !
when it does come. But another con
sequence is when advertising is short
it takes a very small mv-er in thf
close-set type to carry all the county
news and editorials. Space is not
wasted in great headlines and white
waste spaces. The result is the first
page of the paper has as many words
as are found in the news columns of
some county weeklies, especially of
earlier days.
Mecklenburg had two women can
didates for the legislature, who were
pitted in a second contest against
two men. Miss Julia Alexander, who
served in the general assembly two
years ago and who was an active sup
porter of the Pool bill and who has
even threatened to run for Governor
met her Waterloo, and that, too, de
spite the fact that Charlotte has
seemingly been the hotbed of that
fanaticism which would limit free
cf&m of teaching in the schools of
the state. The race, presumably and
by - authority of newspaper reports,
largely resolved itself into a race be
tween -the two men and the two la
dies* Miss Carrie McLean, the othei
aspirant, is said to be opposed
to any and all such limitation as that 1
proposed by the Pool bill, thus tnak
ing her victory over Miss Alexander 1
a clearer index of the lack of dispo
sition of the electorate, even in Meek- •
lenburg, to muzzle the teachers o 1
the state schools. Miss McLean, like
Miss Alexander, is a lawyer. She
was educated at Murfreesboro Instil
tute, now Chowan College, unde?
John R Brewer, was long a stenog- 1
rapher, we believe, and finally studied
law. As she was a roommate of a
cousin of the writer at Murfreesboro, ;
he has long heard the excellences of
Carrie McLean sung. Mecklenburg
has chosen well if it desired, as ir.anij
festly it did, a woman legislator.
Congress adjourned Saturday with
out having passed any .farmers’, re
lief bill. This fact and the revelation
of the expenditure of three millions
of dollars in the Pennsylvania Repub
lican senatorial primary give a glow
of promise to the success-. *of the
Democrats in the Congressional elec
tions in November. The farmers of
the West are said to be in no good
humor and attribute the failure of an
• attempt at agricultural- relief to the
administration. Thus, too, is the elec
tion of Mr. Coolidge R 3 his own sue-]
eessor threatened. The candidacy of
Lowden, a big planter and in thorough
sympathy with the farmer, looms up.

two .allusions .to A1 Smith*
“The New Yorker will make a
Demoeratic
nomin&tionr two years henee;”
say's Oscstr Coffin. in ’the Roan
oke Rapids Herald. “If he were
not a Catholic there would not
be the slightest chance of avert
ing his nomination. Nominated,
he stands a better chance of elec
tion than any other Democrat
who has been mentioned.’ ’
And Nell Battle Lewis, in her
column in the News and Observ
er, tells of attending a movie
show and seeing a number of
governors assembled at the Ses
quicentennial Exposition, “The
camera stopped for a moment
on good old A1 Smith, in a broad
grin as usual. I thought I’d test
Smith sentiment in Raleigh, so
I clapped vigorously. I regret to
inform Louis Graves, the lead
ing Smith supporter of the
>Jorth Carolina press, that no one
joined me. With one enthusi
astic exception it was a bone
dry Protestant audience. How
ever, undiscouraged, I continued
to applaud with a right good
will.”
Os course this lacx of enthu
siasm for the Governor of New
York, in a North Carolina audi
ence, surprises nobody, Every
body knows that this state, if it
could do the choosing, would not
choose him as the candidate.
But, as Miss Lewis said a few
months ago, if he should be the
Democratic nominee, the North
Darolina Protestant drys would
march right up to the ballot box
md vote for him against who
ever the Republican opponent
might be.
There are Protestant dry
Democrats by the hundreds of
thousands who do not want, to
see Smith nominated. But one
desire in the hearts of Demo
cratic politicians may prove
stronger, at a showdown, than
heir ardor against the wets and
against the Catholics —and that
s the desire to win. And we
believe a rapidly increasing num
ber of them are beginning to
realize that, if they are to take
the best chance of winning, A1
Smith is the boy.
Progress on the South
Restoration of Oid Building Goes on
Apace; Ready by Fall
(The Chapel Hill Weekly)
With its roof on, the restored
bouth building—the next oldest
structure on the University
campus—begins to take shape,
it will be ready for occupancy
n the fall. The President, the
registrar, the business manager,
and the extension director will
then move in, leaving their of
fices in the Alumni building for
conversion into classroom space.
A year or so ago, because of
the dilapidated condition of the
South, somebody proposed that
it be demolished and supplanted
by an entirely new structure.
But the old building was held in
too deep affection, by thousands
of the alumni, for this sugges
tion to be seriously entertained.
So, on the outside, viewed from
-he old campus it will be about
he same as ever.
Inside, however, it is com
pletely made over. Old floors
and partitions have been torn
away, and there is a new layout
of rooms and corridors.
There is one important change
’n the exterior. This is a por
ico cn the south side—what has
ilways been considered the rear
—of the building.- With the ex>
an don of the University
outhward, the South building
will have no rear, but, instead,
two fronts.

haWtral for the
SIR-- pendulum to- swing from one
. m |||j extreme tb the other. After
IMriiiiWy the intensive hookworm
- eradication campaign in this
State during the period from 1914
to 1916, there has followed a. com-*
pensating swing to a period of in
difference.
Because of the greatly improved
sanitary conditions throughout the
State, it is probable that even with
this feeling of indifference to hook
worm the condition can never again
become as prevalent as before. But
hookworm has not been eradicated
and there has been a slow but cer
tain increase in prevalence during
the past five years.
It is well to remember that when
a hookworm becp&ies attached to the
intestinal wall that individual worm
remains there for seven to ten years.
The female worm continues through
out all her life depositing eggs which
are carried from the body in the
feces.
The damage one worm can do the
individual is very slight but when
there are more than one hundred of
these worms then the effects are no
ticeable. However, the one worm
during its seven years of life will
continually scatter infection to
others.
Sanitary conditions are greatly im
proved but they are yet not perfect.
Soil is still polluted to some degree
by human excreta and children as
well as some adults continue going
barefoot.
The person so slightly infested
that there are no visible symptoms
may be a great menace to others
whose bare feet come in contact with
soil polluted by him. An individual
living in isolation who has only a few
worms will increase his infestation
by coming in contact with the soil he
has, himself, polluted.
The damage from hookworm is in
direct proportion to the degree of
infestation. While the prevalence of
hookworm is still less than it was a
few years ago, it is no less important
to watch for and treat those who are
now infested than it was then. The
treatment is simple, harmie» a an <j
very inexpensive. With eternal vigil
ance and repeated treatments, hook
worm can be entirely eradicated.
