President Taft says the price
of food products are going down.
Mr. Wickersbam says we are
squelshing the trust, and brother
Claud says he will put brother
William out of the Senatorial
race in ten minutes if certain
things should transpire, and they
keep on transpiring, and brother
William keeps on runing, and
keeps on degrading North Caro
lina politics on a level with
those of South Carolina.
an independent paper. It would be
refreshing to know how the Leader
stands on the State.and County tickets.
—Burlington News.
For mercy sakes, what is the
old “thing” driving at? The
Editor of the News may not
have the murrain, or galloping
collic, but he has a case of
atrophied, blind chronic criticism
and his hiisfortune is he does
not know who to Jcriticise, or
how to criticise. It is simply a
rambling reeking, mess of fault
finding* a hopless slush. If
there was a word in the ignorant
slobering above worth replying
too we would do it, but there is
none- If you have interest
without perverting a
fact to learn how we stand on
the State and county ticket,
come to Mebane on election dav
and we will show you. We have
never voted anything but a
straight Democratic ticket all
our life. Tan you say as much?
We doubt it. This way of trying
to throw off on a mans politics
and to ridicule the honesty of
his purpose because he refuses
to play in your filthy bilge barrel
is coniemptable.
If Mr. Simmons is returned to the
senate and will have the job of writ
ing the democratic tarilf bill then all
hope of remedial tariff legislation by
the democratic party is gone.—Durham
Herald.
Oh, is it? What a pity, you do
not mean it is all gone, you
mean you want to fool some one,
and make them think it is all
gone, you know you do not know
any more about that business
than the ballance of us.
No one who has any knowl
edge whatever of Mr. Theodore
Roosevelt doubts but what he is
one of the ner\iest men, one of
the most courageous, and self
reliant men known to the world.
He seems to have a perfect
contempt foj* fear, or danger,
mentaly he is a tower of strength
and physicialy he is a lion of
daring. Every test of his life
has tended to confirn this impres
sion, but his attitude in the face
of an assassin, and his reckless
indifference after being shot
gives him the stamp of intre
pid valour.

would have to lose his leg, on account
of an ugly ulcer caused by a bad bruise, ’ ’

Sunshine.
A little gold amid the gray;
That’s sunshine.
A littU brightness on the way;
That’s sunshine.
A little glimpsing of the blue,
A little widening of the view,
A little heaven breaking through;
That’s sunshine.
A little looking for the light;
That’s sunshine.
A little patience through the night;
That’s sunshine.
A little bowing of the will,
A little resting on the bill,
A little standing very still.
That’s sunshine.
A little smiling through the tears;
That’s sunshine.
A little faith behind the fears;
That’s sunshme.
A little folding of the hand,
A little yielding of demand,
A little gn^ace to understand;
That’s sunshine.

A SANE CAMPAIGN.
Politics in North Carolina is being
run on a low plane. Personalities and
abuse are taking the place of argument,
and men are beinp discussed instead of
measures. The evil effects of the
present campaign will be felt for years
to come. Sober minded citizens deplore
it; only the thoughtless and ignorant
find any pleasure in this fierce and
furious onslaught on motive and even
common honesty.—Charity and Children.
It was Bleases way, and now
it is Kitchins way, but it is the
curse of the State, it matters not
whose way it may be. North
Carolina politics is being dragi^ed
to a lower level than ever before,
all because there is one man
willing to sink the old common
wealth to the gutter if be can
climb to a seat in the senate.
In a letter to the editor of the Char
lotte Chronicle, May 20, 1911. Senator
Simmons emphatically denied that he
had ever had any business dealings
with Lorimer. “I own no interest
with him In any property of any kind
and never have,” said Mr. Simmons.
Yet the face of this specific denial
Governor Kitchin has persisted in cred
iting the false report, and added to it
that Senator Simmons actually enter
tained Lorimer in his home! He ought
to submit the proof of his charges or
have the manliness to retract them. —

LET COLLIERS GO.
P. F. Colliers and Son is
evidently making a strong bid
for North Carolina patronage.
They have lost out, and are
trying hard to reinstate them
selves in public favor, but we
doubt that they will be able to
do so, despite the efforts of a
certain element to avail them
selves of the Colliers muck rake.
Years ago they slandered the
white women of North Carolina
in defense of a black libeler, to
day they are evidently the hired
assassins of the political charac
ter of one of North Carolinas
ablest Senators, a man respected
and honored by a large majority
of the States best people. What
there is in Colliers except question
able sensations, would be difficult
to find. Let Colliers go, there is
no good purpose or place for it
in North Carolina nor does it
become you to aid it to serve a
bad one.
FOR MERCY SAKES.
The Mebane Leader seems to be
qjite billious these days. Having
getten out of its system some bitter
remarks about Mr. Biooks, Governor
Kitchin and reproduced a long article
to show how Ex-Govemor Aycock
thought Lorimer was innocent,
according to the evidence, we presume
it is ready to drop back into ihe role of
WHY CLARK WILL BE SENATOR
Judge Walter Clark has the best chance to be chosen Senator
in the Primary because:
1. He is Pledged to earnestly contend for an amendment to the
Interstate Commerce Law that will prevent the discrimination
against North Carolina in freight rates which now costs the
farmers and merchants of this State $10,000,000 a year.
2. He is pledged to contend for and expects to succeed in having
returned annually in pensions to Confederate Soldiers and widows
for them to spend, the $5,000,000 which this State is sending as a
war contribution to pay pensions to Federal Soldiers.
3. He is pledged to earnestly urge the repeal of the 8 cent tax
on tobacco which will give the farmers 8 cents additional on every
pound of tobacco they sell which the manufacturer now has to take
off for Covernment tax. This will also destroy the Trust by leav
ing every farmer or neighborhood free to manufacture tobacco. It
will save the farmers of North Carolina $7,000,000 a year.
4. He will advocate Land Banks as in Germany and other
countries by which the Government will loan money to the farm
ers, small merchants, and working men at low rates of interst.
The Government now furnishes the National Banks with their
money without charging interest. Why should it not furnish the
farmers, merchants and working men money at low rate of interest
as in Germany?
Messrs. Simmons and Kitchin have each served twelve years in
Congress and have done nothing about an> of these things. They
do not even promise to do anything now if elected.
5. He will advocate a graduated income and inheritance tax by
which the multimillionaires will contribute heavily to the support
of the Government, whereas nothing is now raised from them in
that way.
The friends of Judge Walter Clark and his enemies alike, know
that he can be relied upon after election to urge these measures as
strenuously as he does now.
VOTE YOUR CONVICTIONS.
CLARK AS SENATOR MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU.
(ADVERTISMENT)
Avoid Rheumatism
Rheumatism with its accompanvirg pains and tortures, is the result of
a decreased action of the kidneys which results in an accumulation of
Uric Acid in the blood.
Treatment should commence with the first hint of trouble.
Those almost insignificant pains in the small of the back
mean trouble—it’s a warning of kidney weakness—inability
to separate the poisons from the blood.
The action of the kidneys is incessant—they wo.k constantly and in
company with the liver pnd bladder strive to purify the blood and keep
the system free from poisons. They should have help—if they become
weakened and neglected it means Rheumatism or Bright’s disease.
If you would avoid these dangerous disease use
Nyal’s Stone Root Compound—start with the
first symptoms
nnd make sure that the kidnevs are restored to their normal strength
and activity.
Nyal’s Stone Root Compound was devised for that very purpose—to
assist the kidneys, bladder and liyer in their functions and rid the system
of Uric Acid and other poisons Does it, too!
Fifty cents and one dollar the bottle.
Any doctor will tell you that when we compound a prescription it’s done
right. Bring us your prescriptions.
