After discussing the matter for several hours the com mittee passed the following resolu tion by a vote of 32 to 23. The res olution reads: "Resolved, That the words, 'the Democratic ticket' as used by the State Democratic con vention, with reference to the qualification of elect ji-3 who shall have a right to vote in the Senatorial primary, bo e msi rued to mean all nominees of the Democratic party for office."

"By the way, the story is being circulated here, in North Carolina and elsewhere that inasmuch as Senator Bailey is to quit and as Senator Simmons is the ranking Democrat next to Mr. Bailey on the Senate Finance Committee that Senator Simmons will become the Chairman of that great committee in the event the Democrats secure control of the Senate after March 1, 191:$. The bare suggestion of the matter is already causing lively talk among the low-tariff Democrats in the Senate and House. Many are insisting that Mr. Simmons will never be Chairman of that Committee should the Democrats get control of the Senate and should he be given another term by the North Carolina Democrats, as they expect to pull the record on him and prove that he is one of the few Democrats who voted too many times with former Republican Boss Aid rich for high protective duties."

Nothing does one more credit or gives one more credit than paint, supplemented of course by what goes with it; and paint costs nothing. True, the first cost is or $6 a gallon put-on; but it saves more than that in the property; saves it "from slow going-down not always slow it drops with a jump when water gets in on wood and iron. Dry wood and iron cost nothing, kept dry by paint. Better paint when it needs it. Paint never goes-down in the sense of being more profitable next year. Devoe. E. T.
