Patterson, M. S., April 7.—Eejjubli-
(;ans gained and Denocrats lost a s^oat
in thi house of representatives today
the result of a speciai election
in the seventh New Jersey district,
bow H. DrakVer, a Passias contract
or, was elMted congressman to suc-
teefl the late Robert L. lireniner, by
more than 5,000 plurality over Jstms
J. O'Bryne, a Democrat, personally iii-
4prsed by-President Wilson and aided
by some of the for^ost campaign
speakers at the call of the adittinis-
tration.
Eigiwes compiled by the Republi-
eas count; campaign committee gave
the total vote, with two out of 112
electioii cUstrictJ missing at followi
Diiikker, (Rep.), 10,649; O^ryne,
(Dem.) 5,143; Demarest, (Soc.), 5,118;
Whitehead, (Prog.) estimated 600.
Drukker. made his fight on a plat
form opo.i6d to the legislation writ
ten by the Wilson administration,
while O'Bryne called on the voters to
send him to Congress as a token of
their approval of the President’s pJ
icies.
Leading Democrats tonight rel^scd
to accept the result of the eieitticn
as a repudiation cf New Jcrsey’s'first
citizen. They declared the 1912 re-
apportionment, which divorced Pas«i-
ec county from Siusex and Bergen
coanties and placed it in a congres
sional district by itself, left a normal
Republican-plurality. Ajthough Con
gressman Brenmer, » Democrat, was
elected by this new district, Deicio-
ocrats tonight asserted his soccess' was
B personal one.
The eeveisth district is one of tSio
centers of the Bilk and woolen snin-
ning industry in America,
Drukker made his campaign appea!
cKicily on the tariff ijsue, decltiiintj

Progressive Graham is moving rigiit
dlong tl»iS8 days. The town has re
cently ' sold ?50,000 worth of bonds
which 'will be vissj for street and
^iidewalk improvements. The bonds
were sold to. Sidney Spitz & Co., of
Toledo, Jj., at pr.r. Not less than
-ive thoiJEand of this money will be
usad to build .siJijwalk, and the other
for strait improvements. With the
-iii-eady targe :;!tioi!nt of sidewdlk
whila Gr&an’. r:ow has this will prac-
tisaUy give "ood walks to all the
homes of tlio town. The m^yor and
Voard. are now cojisidering the em-
ployme.it of a competent engineer,
rhe work vviii likely begin about the
first of May. It is proposed t» spend
ii large amour.t of this in the build
ing of asphauli macadam for street
improvement.
Graiiam is on a building boom at
present, Uiree new buildings are be
ing erected. Dr. 0. J. Parris is
building on the old ShofFner corner.
The building which he is erecting will
be used to rent possibly for a store
on the Srst floor and nice oiRces up
stairs.
Mr: J, 0, iWoon is erecteing a mod
ern building on the lot adjoining Dr.
Parris. While PattersoH Bros.., are
erecting a modem and up-to-date ga
rage on the lot adjoining Mr. Moon.
It is possible that one or two other
business buildings will be erected wsth-
m the next thiry days. It is thought
these buiidi-ngs w'ill be used for a
moving picture theater and a 5 and
10 cent store.
Another hardware store is one of
[the,,tfiB%.S-jnuch needed in the town.
A by.-iiness of this kind v7ould be
heartily received and it is believed
would receive the support of many of
its good citizens.
The board of towji commissione
have already granted the Daughters
af the (^onfadorsicy the right to setoct
any ;ilr Ihey may prefer about the
Court ilouse Square for the election
of the ri'.oiiumeni, the corner stone of
which will probably be laid during
the month of .\prii.
A, 51, Hadley and Chawford & Me-
Adain:; hiive changed stores. Mr. Ilad-
iey is now engaged in the grocery
business while the other firm is sell
ing dry goods. Each appears to be
enjoying the change and are doing
nicely.
Mr. Walter Moore, son cf Mr. J, E.
Moore, who lives near the CP.breth

GREAT DISCOVERY.

By My Supfs.
The State-wide debate amon^ the
High Schools which was concluded at
Chapel K^l last week showed up well
for some of the schools of Alamance:
The Sylvan School took higrh rank in
the finals and Graham came very
near havinir to debate herself in the
jlnal fijsals. It was this way: Gr;iham
i>^grLtive tearn won sec^ond pluce in
the grand final »nd Graham affirm
ative team won a first place in the
grand final. In other words, if one
of Graham's teams had tvoti one inorc
there wouldhavebeen ?iothing
left but Grahp.in to debate herself in
the grand final. And while Winston^s
school won the cup no ether school
has ever talien such high rani; with
both teams as the Graham school did.
In athletics nt the same general
meet at the University, the schools of
Alamance made decidedly the high
est record. The Friendship School
won the cup >ivith 27 points which was
the highest record made by any school
in the State* Graham came in for a
second place in athletics by tiexng with
Oak Kidgc on 12 points. This is a
splendid record for these schools and
the county both in debate and athletics.
Things are JIning up for the grand
school rally as be found in the
county commencement on Saturday»
April 25, Reports are conung in
thick and fast froni* the recent exam
inations of 7th. Grade students over
the county. Certificates for bath the
graduates and those vno have won
honor for attendance are being pre
pared. The exhibition part of the
oommencemenfc promiiwes W he a good
school fair. The superintendent has
just received a co^nmunication from
Uncle Sam and .\unt Colun^bia .say
ing that they will attend the rv'm-
mcncement this yeor. They stale th^t
they will come on horse back as they
are very fond of the old tinie modes
of travel.
There arc- ju.sl two week.*! yet in
which to work for tl>c prize? offered
by the Country Life Club of Alamance
County. The second prize is Jtood,
but why not work for the first? With
ail hand3 working a school building
and yard may be transformed in a
day.
The following verses were writ

Gir)*s Tomato Club:
TOMATO CLUB HISTORY.
A Wonderful Improvement.
Drs. Frost ^ fiolt, who are recog-.
Tiized to be two of the most promi
nent and skillful dentists in this sec*
lion of the State, are working wond-
cTs in our little city with a new an-
c:slhetic they have . perfected for. the
removal cf tcelh without pain.
?he pab't they have had no
along this line of work and
ihoi:* efforts have been, highly reward
ed, but now ^vith this newer and bet-
vcr Lreparaiion which is also locally
:rpplied to the gums they can remove
or ali of your teeth without pain,
;>rovjfiing they are not extremely
-^ore; ar»d better still, the medicine can
be u?ed on young or old, weak or
jtrong and it does not make you sick
or nervous at all, or leave any bad
after efiTocts.
This achievement is indeed a bril-
Uant star in their crown of succeae
in relieving pain in suffering humaa-
ity, and we congratulate them oa
their new discovery and wish them
every success.
