I KEEPS TTIEM GUESSING.
Red Buck Bryant, The Raleigh
News and Observer's Washington
correspondent Bays that President
!Wllson is keeping the "boys" in the
-"Capital city guessinp.
"He is so original that his best
'friends cannot foresee what Is com
ing. With one leap he went back to
the time of the first Adams, when he
appeared in the House and read his
message in person. No president
within recent years has strolled
about Washington as Mr. Wilson is
doing. It Is not an unusual thing to
look out late in the afternoon and
see Mr. Wilson and his secret ser
Tioe escorts strolling along, peering
Into shop windows, or admiring tne
exhibits in the art galleries. Wash-
lngton is pleased with the president.
The old-timers are sitting up to take
notice, the younger ones are getting
on the band wagon. J. P. Tumulty,
private secretary to the president, is
mixing freely with the people. He
spends time in the hotel lobbies
laughing and talking like a real hu
man being. He does not slip away
maa hide himself."
xnis is realty not surprising as
the public has already recognized In
Mr. Wilson a sure enough "Demo
cratlc" President, one who does not
set any store by the gold and lace of
Icings but who beleives the President
of the United States is the country's
chief servant and should keep in
close touch with the people whom
lie serves. It is indeed refreshing
and delightful to have once more a
Chief executive who is not held like a
cat in a dox Dy nide-bouna prece
dents.
President Wilson's message Is
quite different from that of his pre
decessors. Instead of being a mass
of dry, unrelated facts giving a de
tailed history of the country for the
preceding year, Mr. Wilson has cut
his message down to one of the most
Interesting and readable we have
ever Been. It gets right down to the
facts In the case, goes right to the
root of the matter. As a writer or
clean, clear-cut and logical English
President Wilson, to use a slang ex
pression, hag them all shaded to a
frazzle. His speech was about 1.
200 words in length and it is a safe
bet that more of it was heard and
digested than has been the case with
any President's message heretofore.
It Is a little slow, this thing of
getting the editors all landed In
pnug postoffice berth, but a begin
ning is made. Editor Williams has
been appointed postmaster at New
ton. Now, here is Atkins, Sherrill,
Bivlns, Misenheimer, Robinson,
Crowson and a few others too few
to mention, to be landed. The hard
part is over, the ice has been broken,
a start has been made. Salisbury

Tou can leave us out of the bunch.
The newspaper is enough for us.
Mr. McLean to Preach.
Rev. A. A. McLean, who arrived a
few days ago from Oklahoma and Is
lsiting relatives here, will fill the
pulpit of the First Presbyterian
-hnrch Sunday morning and evening
lor the pastor, Rev. J. H. Hender
lite, who la confined to the manse
by Illness. Mr. McLean recently re
signed his pastorate at Gotebo. Okla.,
and will be here until about the mid
dle of May when he expects to leave
for a trip abroad. He will visit the
Holy Lend and other foreign coun
tries and will attend the World's
Sunday School Convention at Zu
rich. Switzerland. He expects to be
Cone four or five months.

Personal Mention.
Because of the heavy demands
on our columns today the chapter of
"Molly McDonald," our excellent se
rial storv, is omitted. We regret
this but It is unavoidable. Those
who are reading the story will find
the next chapter very probably
next Tuesday's issue.

Wadesboro Messenger: Yesterday

tion Rev. G. D. Herman baptized
twelve persons, and received four

faith, and one by certificate. Pev

- Mr. R. H. Bahincton informs
The Gazette that the city lias open
ed un the stn-et which leails from
West Airline ncnue to the part,
which he has nceiitly fixed up for
the children of the town. This is a
delightful lif!' lla vsirnu nd . with a
branch running throuuh it, and Ha?
tonia children will doubtless greatly
enjoy sporting m it during the heat
ed reason.
Mr. Sam Barnwell is able to be
otit again after having been confined
to his bed for a week as the result
of injuries which he sustained in a
fall while painting on the new pas
senger station. A scaffold on which
he was standing to paint collapsed,
throwing him a distance of about
twelve feet to the ground He fell
on a sharp stick which had been
driven in the ground and was injur
ed in the back.
The Gazette is carrying else
where in this issue three special
feature articles that will no doubt
appeal to a large number of our
readers. Thev are as follows: "Con
gress Pure to Lower Tariff in Extra
Session" on pate two: "New Mates
men to Direct Extra Session's Work'
on page three and "leaders Hope to
Stick to Tariff in Extra Session on
page seven. These articles contains
much valuable information and
should be widely read.
fcornum to Men.

ley Hall. Evangelist P. G. . Elsom

Loray Baptist church, will preach a
special sermon to men. His subject
will be "The Choice of Lot, Money

co.-oraiiy invited to attend.

If Pastor McElven, of the Evans
ton, 111.. Congregational Church,
who attributes drowsiness among
church goers to the decorations on
the interior of the church, would
omit some of the decorations from

duced would not be so marl ed.

Newbury, Ala. "For more than a
year," writes Myrtle Cot h rum, of this
place, "I suffered with terrible pains in
my back and head. I had a sallow
complexion, and my face was covered
with pimples. Our family doctor only
gave me temporary relief.
A friend of mine advised me to try
Cardul, so I began taking It, at once,
and with the best results, for I was
cured after taking two bottles. My
mother and my aunt have also used
Cardul and were greatly benefited.
I shall always praise Cardul to sicli
and suffering women."
Cardui is a purely vegetable, per
fectly harmless, tonic remedy for wo
men, and will benefit young and old.
Its ingredients are mild herbs, hav
ing a gentle, tonic effect, on the wo
manly constitution.
Cardul has helped a million women
back to health and strength.
Have you tried It? If not. please
da It may be just what you need.
