In 1896 John H. Kidney of Stanford
Conn., swore that he would never trim
liis whiskers or hair until W’m J. Bryan
was elected president. He stuck by
his oath until his hair extended down
his back to the waist and he had to tie
it up to his head and tie his beard to
keep it from sweeping the ground.
Some time ago he repented his vow
and had his hair and whi^'kers cut off.
Feb. 9, he died, his family sa}’^, from a
broken heart because he failed to keep
his oath.
Sales of leaf tobacco on the various
markets in North Car'Jina for the

Talked Too Much.
(^rom the Salisbury Post)
Referring- to Congressman Dough-
ton’s denial that he did not make the
statement about Woodrow Wilson, ac
credited to him by Washington Cor
respondent Parker, the matter seems
to be of doubtful credence on the part
of the Congressman. His denial, too,
of this statement as the Sherwood
pension bill appears to have the same
flavor. The truth is Mr. Dought^n
talked too much, which, which of
course he has a perfect right to do.
Simmons on tensions
(Asheville Citizen.)
In the matter of senatorial candidat
es the Citizen has not expressed any
preference. Therefore, in quoting the
reported statement of Senator Sim
mons concerning the pension bill, the
Citizen does not do so in the interests
of his candidacy, but to add still fur
ther proof to the contention of this
paper that the pension steal is a gross
injustice to southern people and so
southern constitueneies. Senator Sim
mons. on being asked what he would
do about the Sherwood pension bill,
is quoted as saying:
“You may say that I am looking out
for that bill and expect to make a
speech in opposition to its passage. It
would impose an injustice upon my
people and I shall fight it to the end.

‘•Little X WE9 one of the most pop
ular of our young officers in the army
manovre-^ at during 1910. He
had served in the cavalry and had
brought with him the cavalry swag-
er, wore his campaign hat turned up
in front and rear, and is said to have
slept in his spurs. Our lieutent colo
nel, whose treatment of younger of
ficers had made him most unpopular,
was then in command of the regiment.
“One day Little X passed the colo
nel’s tent while the old man was stand
ing tou in front looking for trouble.
He spotted X and sent his orderly for
him. ‘Mister X,’ said the colonel, as
Johnny saluted and brought his heels
together with the approved click;

Further Says that Under
wood is the Man The Dem
ocrats ought to Support
in Coming Campaign.
Col. H. B. Varner has given us out
a letter written to the News and Ob
server replying to an article in that
paper. The letter is in inis language
and explains inself;
“I see in your paper that your
Washington correspondent says that
I am for Mr. Underwood for the Dem
ocratic nomination for President, for
the purpose of helping Governor Har
mon. T here is absolutely no founda
tion for this statement. I nevcr in my
life supported one candidate in the in
terest of some other candidate.
“It is true, that before I had given
careful consideration to this question,
andjbefore I knew that a southern
man had the real chance to secure the
nomination, I was inclined to support
Governor Harmon, but recently I be
came convinced that not only did Mr.
Underwood have a good chance to se
cure the nomination but that his nomi
nation would give the party its best
cht nee to elect a President and that
his election would give the country its
best possible executive. In this con
dition I determined to support him.
“Why is it necessary to the candi
dacy of the man whom your Wash
ington correspondent is supporting
that the motives of those who support
other candidates should be impugned?
Why is it that every man who changes
from some other candidate to Wilson
is a pure and lofty patriot, while every
man who changes from an inclination
for a northern candidate to an earnest
support of an able, upright southerner
is somewhat a rascal, or at least a hy
pocrite and trickster?
Mr. Underwood is unquestionably
the best qualified man for the presi
dency that has been proposed, be
cause he has 18 years experience in
Congress. It is generally conceded
chat he knows more about the tariff
than anyother man in Congress and
has led the Democratic majority as no
other man has been able to lead it
since the war. He is a consistant
tariff reformer, standing for a tarff
for revenue only It the Democrats
win the presidency, the tariff irust be
the paramount issue.
“If Mr. Underwood is nominated he
will be elected, be cause he will com
mand the support of all factions. He
is progressive, yet he is conservative,
and is not aligaed with any faction of
party, therefore, he could sweep the
country as no other candidate could
possibly do
“For 50 ye^s the door of the White
j House has been closed to the men of
the south. I have long felt that this
was largely the fault of the Demo
crats of the south themselves. Dur
ing these 50 years whenever a- south
ern man has been spoken of for this
high office, we have taken counsel
with our fears and unanimously voted
that our man would be unvailable. Of
course, thh other sections of the coun
try have been willing to accept our
own estimate of ourselves. This con
dition will go on just as long as we
make no effort to change it.

front of them had forgotten to hook
the placket of her skirt. “I am going
to tell her,” she said to her husband.

You don,t need to seek a milliner at

Turkish towel with whatever jam thats
been left over from the winter season
and be in perfect style, for the edict
that went out from the convention of
the National Association of Milliners
in Chicago was that turban hats of
moderate size would be the regular,
nobby, natty Easter thing and that
plain red will be the most popular col
or for general wear.

row’s storms can not touch us.“Merill.
