HAS WON A HIGH PLACE.
What ever else may be said
about the recent canvas, State
wide for the nomination of
United States Senator, it can
not be denied that the Greens
boro News did eminent, and
effective service in the interest
of Senator Simmons, and it did
its work in a fair straightforward
and strictly punctilious manner,
and that in the face of the most
vicious, and outrageous slurs
and misrepresentations. Its
political character was assailed
and everything done posible to
damacre it with the good people
of the State. The News has
won a high place in North
Carolinas iournalistic field, its
course throughly consistant with
the best interest of the State.
Success to the News.
France, Russia and Great Britain
have their way will replace the
now discredited shibboleth of
*‘status quo'' as a basis of
collective action by the great
powers should the time arrive
for a redistribution of sovereignty
in Turkey through the success at
arms of the allied Balkan States
over the Turks. This self-sacri
ficing ordinance, of course,
would apply only to the nations
constituting the concert of
Europe, as there is no longer any
suggestion of opposing the
aspirations of the Bulgarians,
Greeks and Serbs for a national
unity.
It is recognized tnat they must
have their respective slices of
territory should the Musselmen
finally acknowledge defeat, but
it is acutely feared that any
attempt by outsiders to put their
hands in the grab bag almost
assuredly would lead to the
European conflagration which
the chancellories aver they are
so anxious to avoid.
An effort to wipe Turkey of j
The Election is now over, now
let’s g^t to work for Mebane,
and see if we can’t give her a
splendid majority. There is
much that collective effort may
accomplish for Mebane, there is
no reason why all her citizens
should not pull together for the
gjod of Mebane.
PITY FOR THE LIVING,
George G. Thompson the able
and efficient agent of the South
ern Railway who was shot to
death lact week in Greensboro
will soon be lost sight of in the
cumulative sentiment and sym
pathy for the man who took his
life, Henry Blair.
Blair might have been a
nervous wreck, a broken down
cigarett fiend, but when be called
Thompson to his house to kill
him, he knew he intended to
take a human life, but judging
from past precedents he was
not certain he would loose his
own because of it, in fact he
likely reasoned to him self, that
North Carolina does not make it
a point to electrocute men who
are able to pay for their defense
and he felt reasonably sure he
was able to pay for his defense.
It was like a costly debauch, a
game in the bloody arena, in
whicli he expected to win because
he could pay for it, and his
inteligence was just enough
blunted for him to not care for
the cost.
Sickly sentimentality turns to
Blair in sympath> now, as the
weak unfortunate, all pity for
him, but for the valuable citizen
whose life he deliberately took,
ah! he is gone they say we can
not help it now.
Very much like a few years
ago when Sam Kober of Winston
was held on a charge of murder
ing Henry Kober, The Jews
made up a big purse for Sams
defense, and when chided about
the act as there was at that time
strong presumption of Sams
guilt, the Jew answered “to hell
with the dead Jew,'’ it is the
live Jew that we want to look
after, and it is this universal
Sentiment that has made life
cheap, and murderers common,
and the criminal lawyers practice
valuable especialy in North
Carolina.
Sunset City.
There’s a city that lies in the kingdom
of clouds.
In the gloiious country on high,
Which an azure and silvery curtain
enshrouds,
To scieen it from mortal eye.
A city of temples and turrets of gold,
That gleam by a sapphire sea.
Like jewels more splendid than earth
may behold,
Or are dreamed of by you and by me
And about it are highlands of amber
that reach
Far away till they meet in the gloam;
And waters that hem an immaculate
beach
With fringes of luminous foam.
Aerial bridges of foam there are.
And belfries of marvelous shapes.
And lighthouses lit by the evening Etar
That sparkle on violet capes;
And hanging gardens that far away
Enchantedly float alooi;
Rainbow pavilions in avenues gay,
And banners of glorious woof.
When the summer sunset’s crimsoning
fires
Are aglow in the western sk]s
The pilgrim discovers the domes and
spires
Of this wonderful city on high.
Avoid Rheumatism
Rheumatism with its accompanying 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 trottbie—it’s a warning of kidney weakness—inability
to separate the poisons from the blood.
The action of the kidneys is incessant—they work constantiv and in
company with the liver and 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
and make sure that the kidneys 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 liver 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 d"ne
right. Bring us your prescriptions.

A Day of Sunshine.
0 gift of God! O perfect day;
Whereon shall no man work, but play;
Whereon it is enough for me.
Not to be doing, but to be!
Through every fibre of my brain.
Through every nerve, throusrh every
vein,
1 feel the electric thrill, the touch
Of life, that means almost too much.
I hear the wind among the trees
Playing celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent
Like keys of some great instrument.
And over me unrolls on high
The splendid scenery of the sky,
Where through a sapphire S2& the sun
Sails like a golden galleon
Toward yonder cloudland in the west,
Toward yonder islands of the blest.
Whose steep Sierra far uplifts
Its craggy summits white with drifts.
Blow, winds! and waft through all the
rooms
The snowflakes of the cherry blooms!
Blow, winds! and bend within my
reach
The fiery blossoms ot the peach!
O Life and Love! 0 happy throng
Of thoughts, whose orJy speech is
song!
O heart of man! canst thou not bo
Blithe as the air is, and as free?
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

From far away Porto Rico comes re
ports of a wonderful new discovery
that is believed will vastly benefit the
people. Ramon T. Marchan, of Barce

covery is doing spendid work here. It
cored me about five times of terrible
coughs and colds, also my brother of a
severe cold in his chest ^nd more than
20 others, who used it on my advice.
We hope this great medicine will yet
be sold in every drug store in Porto

it has no equal. A trial will convince
I you of its merit. 50c and $1.00. Trial

CURIOUS WORK OF PENANCF
Ancient Buddhlat of Japan Writes
126,000 Words on PI«oe of Paper
18 by 7Vi InohM.
For fome time thero has been
■hown In San Francisco a piece of
paper 18 Inches by 7^ Inches, on
which there are written 126,000 words.
This writing is the work of Kobo
Taishl, a Buddhist of Japan, who lived
1,100 years ago. Before his time his
eountrTmen used only Chinese char
acters tn writing and he evolved the
Idea of the Japanese alphabet
The writing on the paper is so fine
that a microscope has to be used to
decipher the intriaate Japanese chan
acters. It Is an exact copy of eight
books of the Buddhist Bible, an!
was written by the author as a sort of
penance to pcuify his spirit It Is the
property of a descendant of the writer,
and has passed as a sacred heirloom
from father to son for a thousand
years. Bvery precaution has been
taken to insure the safety of the
document. In a case of white wood is
a beaotiful laquered box wrapped In
green tilk. Within the laquered box
la another made of a very light porous
wood that is extensively used in the
manufacture of cabinets in which to
store treasures. In this box |s th.^
precious writing.
There are persons so radiant, so gen*
ial, so kind, so pleasure-bearing, that
you instinctively feel in their presence
that they do you good, whose coming
into a room is like the bringing of a
lamp there,-^Henry Ward Beecher.
Flagged Train With Shirt.
Tearing bis shirt from his back an
Ohio man flagged a train and saved it
from a wreck, but H. T. Alston, Raleigh
N C., once prevented a wreck with
Electric Bitters. “I was in a terrible
plight when I began to use them,” he
writes, *‘my stomach, head, back and
kidneys were all badly affected and my
liver was in bad condition, but four
bottles of Electric Bitteis made me
feel like a new man.” A trial will
convince you of their matchless merit
tor any stomach, liver or kidney tronble.

spoils.
