Shrinkage in Incomes. Boston Transcript, It is said that there has been a great shrinkage in the professional income of the physicians through out the United States of late, and that it is not wholly attributable to business depression. An elaborate* statistical investigation would be re- quireJ to tell whether the public is spending more money or more doc tors, or whether the shrinkage is due to other causes, as, for instance, a wider'diffusion of knowledge of the laws of sanitation, etc. Phy sicians will difler in their diagnosi.s while recognizing the fact. One Botto'i physician insists that there is a ombination of causes at work, and enumerates among them the overcrowding of the profession and the hi.^h oost of living, which he holds is reducing the middle class— classxrving by incomes—on whom physio and surgeons mi'st de pend for more than a hand-to- mouth practice. Another bluntly i-ays th it people nowadays are bet- ter giianled by public sanitary agenci.'S than their fathers were, and that the general average of physique is correspondingly higher. Dan Beard’s ^‘Guns and Gunning.’’ A book that every “outdoor” man and boy will enthu.sia«tically welcome lias just been published by the makers of the famous Stevens ■Firearms. This volume consists of 112 profusely illustrated pages and is devoted to woodcraft, the haunts and habits of furred ana feathered game, camping, hints on equipment, cooking, etc. “There’s ozone from the woods on every page.” The facts co.itained in “Guns and Gun ning,”f ir that is the name of this most interesting book on the “Great Out-of-Doors” and its attendant pleasures, bear the positive stamp of authenticity and authoritativeness, Dan Btiard, the eminent sportsman, writer and artist, is the Editor of “Guns and Gunning.” What this author does not know about wood craft and wood lore is not worth knowing. Every boy contemplat ing a vacation trip, every man be taking himself to the woods and fields to r ecuperate from wears and tears of business life, will want a copy of “Guns and Gunning” to guide him right in communing with Nature. Remember that a Stevens Rifle and the book mentioned are indispen.^able requisites for your vacation days. Stevens Arms are for sale by all progressive Hardware and Sporting Goods Merchants and Dan Beard’s splendid effort—“Guns and Gun- ning”—will be mailed postpaid to any applicant by J. Stevens Arras and Tool Company, Chicopee Falls, Mass., upon receipt of price. For paper covered edition forward 20 cents; for cloth bound book send 30 cents. REniRI^ DISCLOSE STARTLING FtCrS. Slight Changes in a Few Counties Would Have Made State Republican. Charlotte, NT. C., Special—Offi cial returns of the recent state elec tion so far received disclose some inierestin raatter-s. Complete returns from seventy- nine counties show the following: Bryan carried forty-six counties with 29,133 majority, and Taft thirty-three counties with 13,387 majority. " Bryan's net majority in seventy-nine counties was 15,746 Kitchin carried fifty eight counties with 40,258jnuaiority. Cox car ried twenty[pountie8 with 10,231 majority, (One county tie vote.) Kitchin’s net majority in seventy- nine counties was 30,017. Kitchin received more than Bryan by 11,125 votes, and Cox less than Talt by 3,156. This shows 7,969 men who did not vote for Taft or Bryan but,voted only the stat^j Democratis ticket in these seventy-nine countias. In the entire state Taft esirried forty-one counties and Bryan fifty- seven. A change of 386 votes in the nine counties of Duplin, On.s- low, Perquimans, Moore, Lincoln, Durham, Chatham, Carteret and Alleghany, would have given Talt fifty counties and Bryan forty- eight, On the national vote a change of 3,080 votes in Eleven senatorial districts would have given twenty-nine Republican senators and a change of 1,920 votes would have represented sixty-eight seats in the House.

There has been too much of the “poor farmer,” the “downtrodden laborer,” and the “unfortunate” and “oppressed” tl^is on^i and the other. It is the more incompre hensible that this spirit, daianing everybody and everything, should hare reached its height when the country was at the climax of its agricultural and industrial pros perity. Tne “poor” farmer had more produce and got more for it than ever before in the history ot the country. Ihe “downtrodden” laborer was receiving wages the like of which he had never known before. Trade was at the full tide of prosperity. But it sounded well to preach oppression—oppresion by everybody and to tell the farmer, the laborer and others that while they were getting more than they had ever received before, they were not getting enough; that they were being robbed and plundered right and left. It is a doctrine to which, if it had not already been, it is now abundantly demonstrated, the people are not going to subscribe. We told you it would be Taft and tuckey for Thanksgiving—and it will be. The wheels will go ’round now, just as soon as possible and the empty furnaces will be all aglow. No Rest For Mr. Taft. New YorK Times To get anything like a complett- rest from politics Mr. Taft would have to go to some place much more sequestered from apprehension and aspiring statesmen than the Virginia Hot Springs or Augusta, Ga. At either his words and acts will be attentively observed and minutely recorded by the newspa per men from the time when he gets up in the morning till he g;oes to bed at night, and he is sure to have a thin but steady stream of callers with advice and suggestions to offer on all conceivable matters of public and private—particularly private. It is a pity that this should be so, for if ever a man earned a period of peace and quiet by work bi utally severe, Mr. Tafo did it during the closing weeks of the campaign, but his present labors are light by com parison with those that went before, and in performing them he has the stimulus of a recent great victory and IS helped bj' a keen interest in the matters presented for his con sideration. He must have known, too, what was cc^ming—must have kn own that the morning after elec tion duy he entered upon the duties of president-elect, an office, which, though not recognized by the cons titution or supplied with a salary, has its well-recognized duties, not the less obligatory because they are not imposed by law. Waltor Wyatt has succeeded in killing the “bugger” which has l)een a great annovance in the neighlK)r- hood all summer, an eagle raeastir- ing 6J feet from tip to lip. W ho can beat that? Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Motley of No. 3 was pleasant visitors at the home of R. G. Aldridge’s Sunday Everybody is busy getting ready for Conference, which will be held Longs Chapel from 17 to 20. A large crowd is expected. The ladies have made up enough money and bought a nice carpet. L. M. Johnson is making an im provement to his home by building a new dining room and cook room, and fixing up things in general. Well, the election is over now, and we don’t know what the men will have to talk about. Gues.s its not fair for us to get the Sheriff every time, and we’ll be contented with what we got for a while, and looking forward to get them all next time. We can always boast of having the President, and believe the Democrats are as glad ot him of him as we are. J. B. Rodgers, H. Clay King and R. Q,. Hailey have straightened the roau through their fartns and greatly improved same. It goes to show ho>v much they appreciate the mail service. And what they will do for their own convenience. Such citizens are worthy of any honors or favors that the community may have to bestow. Now the *^Drinkless Drink.” Baltimore Sun, Maxim’s noiseless gun has been outdone. The drinkless drink is now on the market in the shajje of an evaporated driak c f whiskey made into a paste. This latest thirst quencher striic,k town several days ago in the sample cases of whi.skey salesmen. Effurt.‘^ are being made to induce iocul whiskey firms to order them for the trade in Georgia and wther di y States where the ordinary Jiioi; t (iriuK is barred by law. The tabold “drmk” looks like cherry gelatine nestling i«i a salve box. It smells a little like oUl rye It can either be chewed or drunk It is guaranteed to reach the right spot and produce the de.^ired elK' t either way. To take it dry one hM," ouly to turn the box upside down and catch the gtl ittne as it drops out If a wet drink is desired the gelatine can bejeasily tlisnolved in a little water, and makes a man’s size drunk. The effect the tabloid is going to have on the whiskev traffic cannot be prognosticated. Instead ot go ing out between the :»»'ts the thir-ity one can chew a tabloid and have all tiie ef!eots, even the odor, without leaving his seat. The possibilities are too numerous to mention.

A woman in North Carolina started iia busini^ with only 1 dollar and now has .an income of more than 200 dollars a week, Oue day she saw an advertisement in a inonthly story paper of “WICKE’S SWISS HERB TEA’» stating that it was the BEST KEM EDY O!^ THE MARKET for all Kidney, Liver and Stomach Troub les and while she had been troubled with all thl^ complaints for more than 7 years, she wrote to the Manufacturer for a 22 cent package, she used careful accroding to the directions. After one weeks use she found that all bier complaints had left her and she told the people, had known her as a very ?iek lady, what she had used. All who the wonderfull change in her condition, asked her to get them a pack; and she sent one dollar to the Manufacturer of the Tea and asked hiwi send her as many packages as he coijld aifford for the one dollar.
