A campaign in which there will be- no Democrat of this or that kind, but all simply Democrats. A united party with factionalism eliminated, all work ing for the upbuilding of the state, the development of its industries and the fostering of its manufactures. A Democracy determined to keep control of the state's affairs and administer them to the best good to all the peo ple.

MR. i.V'NK RUSH DEAD ONE OF ASHEhv OLDEST CITIZENS DIED DDENLY MONDAY WAS FOUNO LYING ON GROUND IN A DYING CON DITION Lying near the old livery stable building near the old court house place, Mr. k. Frank Rush was found Monday morn.r.g in a dying condition. Mr. Rush roomed in a room in front of the Ross and Rush building and it is supposed that he str.rted some time during the night to his house near by. He was found about six o'clock by his wife who had start ed to milk. He only lived an hour af ter being carried to the house. Mr. Rush is a native of the county and has lived in Asheboro nearly all his life. For many years he was engaged im the livery business. He was one of Asheboro's oldest citizens, and is sur vived by a wife and three children. They are: Mrs. J. A. York, of Ashe boro; Miss Rosa Rush, of Wilming ton; and Mr. Zeb Rush, now a student at the University of North Carolina. The funeral was held from the M. E. church yesterday by Rev. C. L. Whitaker after which interment was in the cemetery at the church. Mr. Rush's pastor, Rev. Mr. Thompson, was attending conference in Shelby. Mr. Rush was a good citizen and his death is a distinct loss to the town. The Courier extends sympathy to the bereaved relatives. SURPRISE MARRIAGE On Monday evening at six o'clock at the home of Mrs. Benson Parker, at Trinity, Mrs. Kate Parker Harris was married to Mr. Swaim, of Liberty, in the presence of several friends. Rev. A. S. Raper officiated. They left by automobile immediately after the cer emony for High Point and from there to Liberty, their future home. Mrs. Swaim has many friends here where she has lived since early childhood who wish for her much happiness. Mr. A. S. Raper left for Shelby last Tuesday morning for the -M. E. Con ference. THE CHURCH AND TOBACCO Baptists Not Liable to Commit Tb Sin of Discrimination. (From Charity and Children) The .Methodist Conference and the Presbyterian General Assembly have put the ban on using 'tobacco among the preachers and hereafter young men who are candidates for the mm istry will take duf notice and govern themselves accordingly.. But if -to baeco is not good for the ministry neither is it good for the laity, and the brethren ought to have passed a prohibition law that applies to all alike. Tobacco will have to follow whiskfi'. Both are injurious a.nd the sentiment agaimit them is steadily growing. After all, the most power ful influence against any evil if public sentiment. Nothing was said -or done about tobacco in the Southern Baptist Convention and f .any thing: sb ever said it will apply to all the members of the body alike. It would sever do for a Baptist bod? to single ut any class of its membership and give them or dew that do not apply to .Hi. In deed no Baptist fcody has any right to give orders at iall except, u local Baptist church. The convention could do -nothing ;more lhan sugjratt, and its suggestions moat not discriminate in favor of or against any class of its members. It is Htaely that am anti tobaeca -resolution will be- presented at -the next session. Notwithstanding the argument offerea 'by Dr. Lyon in the .General Aswembly that the body wm engaged in more important work than waging a warfare -vn to baco, he was ruthlessly run over, ; and the resolution passed by an over whelming 'majority. DOCTORS DECLARE AGAINST ALCOHOL AS A STIMULANT The New York Sun say that in the International Congress of Fhysiothcr aphy recently convened in Berlin "Prof. Ewald, perhaps the most emi nent clinical teacher in the Berlin Uni versity, said that he had reached thr conclusion that in no infectious dis-. ease has the value or aiconoi been proved and that it diminishes the nat ural resistance to the inroads of dis ease." There is a doctor in Charlotte who has consistently held to this view for a number of years and he is seeing other doctors coming to his ideas. The Sun holds that Pro. Ewald s conten tion confirms what every clear-vision- ed physician of experience has observ ed at the bedside, that whenever alco hoi is administered it handicaps the patient, because it lowers the blood pressure; it is a temporary spur to the failing heart, with a subsecjuent depression to which many a sick man has succumbed without realization of the cause of "heart failure." One who has not seen the purple hued complexion, sodden features and perspiring relaxed skin of an intoxi cated man needs no medical training to know that here is a case of com plete relaxation, the body presenting as sad evidence of crippling as does the mind. If this result may ensue in an individual who is in health, how much more seriously must the vital powers be depr eciated in diseases in which other poisons are already play ing havoc with the heart and nervous system. Alcohol as a stimulant is dying as hard as did blood-letting as a pane- BETTER BABIES CONTEST AITV R WAS A GREAT SUCCESS MOKE THAN FIFTY BABIES EXAMINED THE MAJORITY SCORED HIGH ONLY A FEW WER$ FOUND WITH PHYSICAL DEFECTS. The Better Babies Contest which was held at the court house in Ashe boro under the auspices of the Wo man's Club, was a great success. More than fifty babies were examin ed. They were from all parts of the county. On acount of the cooler weather six that had been entered did not get here but some came that had not been entered. According to the score cards of the Woman's Home Companion which were used in scor ing, no children could be entered un der six months of age but several mothers brought in younger children and they were examined but not scor ed. The same with children above the age limit of three years. There were many persons present who had no children but who were interested in children. The scores will be complet ed and announcement made next week of how the children scored. The doc tors who did the examining compli mented the children of the county, as a whole. There were a few who showed physical defects. When 'the cards are sent to the parents they can see this and have the causes removed Thev will be completed at once and mailed. Drs. W. M. Jones, Battle, of Greensboro: W. L. Jackson and J. W, Austin, of High Point; T. I. Fox, of Franklinville; D. L. Fox, Sumner, and Wilkerson, of Randleman; Cad dell, of Ramseur, were present and rendered splendid service as well as Drs. V. E. Asbury, M. L. Fox, W. J. Moore, D. K. Lockhort and J. M. Swaim. of Asheboro. Misses Muse and VickoTy, of Hirrh Point, and Mrs Hinshaw.of Randleman .trained nurses aided in the contest. Mrs. E. R. Mi- cheaux, chairman of Health Depart ment tf the Normal College, came down and gave much assistance they had recently gone through with a contest in Greensboro. Everyone seems greatly pleased with the contest and it seems the wish of the public that a Better Babies Contest he held each year. DEATH OF LTTTL"E V ANNIE DICKENS On Tuesday evening, November death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Dickens and carrted away the sweet soirit of their little daugh ter, Vannie Aline. Little Vannie had been with them only two years and four months and was ill only a few days, of that dre&d scourge of child hood, diptheria and membraneous croup.

She leaves to mourn her early de parture a father, mother, grandfather and little hrothCT. While we greatly deplore the early departure of little Vannie yet we feel that Gd in His mysterious, wisdom makes no mistakes and we knew she is safe in the arms Jesus safe from the cTiilling winds of trou hie and temptation that comes to all in this life.

AMENDMENTS DEFEATED INCOMPLETE RETURNS SHOW MAJORITY AGAINST THEM RANGING FROM 6,000 16,000 A dispatch from Raleigh says that none of the ten constitutional amend ments voted on in North Carolina on November 3 have passed, according to almost complete returns made to the Secretary of State. With 72 of the 100 counties complete the majority against the amendments range from 6,000 to 16,000. It is said that the returns from the other counties cannot materially change the final result. The majority against the amend ment proposing to substitute the phrase "War Between the States" for reference to the civil war as the "War of the Rebellion," has been voted down by 6..000 majority, the returns indicate. That proposing to revise and fix the tax rate now has a majority against it of 16,000. POLITICAL FLIRTATION The Cleveland Star the past week did a pretty good job of gopher dig ging. There are others. In past months the Democratic party of North Carolina has permitted some interloping that was brazen, to say the least. It has been given to en tirely too much political flirtation, and has countenanced too much abuse of its party leaders by those who were not given space alongside the pie counter, or whose inends could not find room there. That was at the bot torn of the only discontent that has been in manifestation, and some Dem ocrats showed strong symptoms of having been contaminated with the old Republican idea of politics that no man can be in politics for pnev pie, but tor reward in patronage alone. lh.e mam body of the Democ racy of the state is of the Democratic faith from principle, and its stead fastness t principle is generally of vindication at each recurring count of the votes. In the coming fray the bearers of the party standards should permit no strange devices to be at tached to the flag. Charlotte Observ WELL SPENT SABBATHS Who can compute the wealth of well spfJ, , Sabbaths fifty-two golden op portunities right from the hand of God, each year? Wnat shall we do with them? Can we he trusted with such untold wealth? Would we poi or waste or mar them? Both in the house of God and in the quiet of our families or rooms we may learn of God, may build up the nhvioal. men tal and spiritual, and go forth into the new week girded anew for the tusk the trial and the temptation. These heavenly gifts are cuvs to lift ns up toward that which is holi est and best. Dare we seek less for ourselves than God would in His love and wisdom plan for us ? Best of all, each well spent Sabbath as well as every other well spent day strengthens our love and taste both for the sacred day and for the things that are lovely, true and inspiring, DEMORALIZING LITERATURE Dr. Chester H. Lord, the distin guished editor, in an address before the Editorial Association of Hartford, made some wholesome remarks on the moral dangers of modern journalism and literature. "Our discussions are oa the ever lasting sex question; many of our plays have excited public indignation; some of our picture shows have been suppressed by the police. Our dances aave been denounced by the ciiurcn and by the few old-fashioned mothers who remain, and the same mothers have proclaimed against the clothing of the women as beine demoralizing, Nine-tenths of the novels -now writ ten are sa-called sex novels, in which sex relations are described and dis cussed with a freedom that would not have been tolerated fifty years ago, and that must have then excluded from public libraries and homes. The three novels by British writers that attracted most attention during the winter were conspicuous examples of this modern literature. The best sell er in America was an attack on relig ion and an indirect plea for socialism. Mr. Lord puts half the blame on the people whose ideals have been lower ed, and who are so incessant in their demands for the injurious papers and books. He contrasts present condi tions with the high standards and cleanly literature of fifty years airo. Whatsoever things are true, whatso ever things are honest, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil. 4:8.
