Every farmer who takes a paper that admits advertising to its columns receives the equivalent of a cash con tribution, for were it not for the ad vertising to help pay for the cost of publishing the paper, the subscription price would neccesarily be two or three times as muco. A paper whose subscription price is one dollar would be at least two dollars if it had no ad vertising patronage, hence every sub scriber virtually gets one dollar from the advertisers. It follows, then that subscribers should have a kindly feel ing for the advertisers in their paper, and give them the preference in the bestowal of their patronage, for the reason that one good turn deserves another.

BURNS FOR CLERK OF THE COURT To the Democratic Voters: The time is right upon us when we must choose our candidates for the different county offices. I want to recommend a man for Clerk of the Court that I know to be a gentleman in every sense of the word, and one that I have had considerable dealings with and whom I have always found to be honest, upright and courteous. He is thoroughly competent and will perform the duties of the office with fairness to all and with credit to him self and to the party. A. E. Bums is the man. Nominate him and add strength to the ticket. R. L. SCURLOCK, Glenola, N. C, August 3, 1914. Average Life of Coins. Colm are In circulation on an av rags 27 ytara. OUR PRESENT COUNTY OFFI CERS EDORSED Mr Editor: It is a well known fact that the campaign for county officers is draw ing to a close, and it is important that the Democrats of the county attend their township primaries and vote for the men who will fill the places with credit to our county. These plat-c are now filled by worthy gentlemen. There can be no danger of jeopard izing the party or public welfare by re-electing to an office a competent, trustworthy and faithful public oili-j cial. All the candidates are worthy men and would make good officers if they could remain in office the ire- quired length of time. But the ques tion in our mind is: Docs the grand old county of Randolph need any changes in her present officers at this time? We wnnt it understood that we have no personal friends or enemies in the matter, but we look at it from an important standpoint individually. In politics every man who wants off ice should have an open field and ii fair fight for office. No man should want or try to get anything else than an equal show in the race. The idea of rotation should not be gone too far from; soft palavers, which some of the candidates use so effectively in canvassing the voters should not have a feather's weight in making the ticket. You have friends and every other man has friends and for the next five hundred years we could not get them all in office, if we' should adopt a plan to rotate every election. Relaizing that fai-t.what will you do, vote for a friend for personal reasons only, or be a friend to our county in which we all share alike by her more experienced officers ? We do not consider it from a per-Bi-al standpoint, but look at i. . '"or-i a broader scope. Looking at :: froi i a viewpoint of progress and '. . c'tr -ment of our county, we would be vi; -me: to let our present county officers, r-main ns they are for years to come. Why not? Can you point to any pe riod in the history of our county when it was aking as much and as rapid progress along all lin.r. as it is today? Randolph county is being de veloped as never before and no coun ty in the state has a better set of county officers. If there is no reason why we should change thorn for new men except that they have held the offices long enough. 'then I contend that there is no legitimate reason. Some of the arrandesi and safest men the Demo cratic party or any other party has ever e!r-. -ted as the people s servants have held their offices for many terms and each tiinp made a better officer than before, because they knew their work better, they had a better under standing of the duties and responsibil ities of the trust that was placed in them. So considering their services in helping shape the affairs of our coun ty government, looking on down touching the progress in development, the material and financial prosperity of our county, it would seem unwise to make any" radical changes at this time. VOTER. MR. BURNS FOR CLERK OF THE . COURT , . To the Democratic Voters: Please allow me to present the name of A. E. Burns for the office of Clerk of the Court in Randolph Coun ty. He has held positions of trust and niominence and has proven him self to be competent and popular. He is a highly esteemed and capable man an 1 if e'e'eted to the place will fill it with eredit.I heartily recommend that von nominate him at the County Con vention. J. C. PEPPER. Impressive Figures.

POOL. A CURE FOR BUBONIC PLAGUE I A Serum is Being .Used Which is ! Meeting Vt ith Wonderful Success. Acording to statements of promi nent physicians of New Orleans, the seimm for bubonic plague has met with success in that plague stricken city. Drs. Oscar Bowling, C. C. Bass and W. H. Seaman have experimented with numerous victims and claim to have met with success by frequent injections of anti-plague serum in large quantities. The New Orleans doctors say they have carefully ob served the steady improvement of the bubonic plague patients, and have practically convinced themselves that the plague has been succesfully treated for the first time in the his tory of the world. Acording to Dr. Bowling, the secret of the success of the treatment lies in the quantity of anti-plague serum injected. No secret is made of the fact that New Orleans is thoroughly infected with the deadly plague, and at each focus of infection the surgeons are tracing it to the rats which infect the wharves. The only way to eradicate the plague is to stamp out the rats. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C A SJT O R I A Fishing Dancing T. C, WW',3, Gen. Pass, Agent, N. C.
