BRYAN MAY BE PROHIBITION CANDIDATE Prohibition Party Wants the Commoner to Head Its Ticket. Chicago Dispatch, 23. If he will consent to make the race, William Jennings Bryan may be se lected as the candidate for president of the prohibition party. Recent statements of Mr. Bryan before the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church at Saratoga Springs, GLEN ALPINE NEWS. Items .of News Interest From Our Hustling Nearest Neigh bor. Correspondence- of The News-Herald. I saw an article in a recent edition of The News-Herald from our farm demonstrator to kill potato bugs which I think is good. I have a tested rem edy which I saw in a paper some time ago and as The News-Herald has a large and valuable circulation, will give it for the benefit of its readers: Take a tablespoon of flour and Paris in which he was quoted as declaring that he had about reached the point green on the end of the big blade of (CANDIDATES IN THE PRIMARY. LOCAL NEWS. where he could no longer follow a political party which refused to en dorse national prohibition, were dis cussed b prohibition party leaders to day. They expressed the belief that if the democratic national convention at St. Louis declined to adopt a national prohibition plank in its platform, Mr. Bryan might consent to become the candidate of the prohibition party for president. The prohibition national convention will be held at St. Paul July 19 to 22, and will be preceded by a rally in the interest of the move ment, to obtain pledges from five mil lion citizens to vote only for candi dates for public office who favor na tional prohibition. Bridgewater Items. Correspondence of The News-Herald. Messrs. Walker Lyerly, Caleb Kin caid, G. C. Coulter, Ben Martin and P. S. Thompson motored to Charlotte last Friday to attend the 20th of May celebration, returning Sunday. Mr. A. F. Alexander attended the reunion of the U. C. V.'s at at Bir mingham last week. Messrs. Robert Winkler and Eugene Boyd have returned from Hot Springs, Ark., and both seem to be somewhat a pocket knife (this is the proportion) mix well. This will make the flour of a light shade of green. While the potatoes are damp with dew, or you can sprinkle them, take a piece of cardboard and a stick and knock a little on each plant and it will cer tainly do the business for the bugs and it is not harmful to the plant. Mr. Perkins treatment called for lime and often people don't have the lime. To get rid of flies use powdered borax in all places where flies congre gate, out houses, pig pens, stables, etc. once or twice a week. Keep the premises clean. Dust the borax light ly over these places and you will in a great many instances have less flies than people who use screens. I have tried both of these and know they can be trusted. The G. A. S. has paid a ysit to the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Pitts and as a consequence they have a lively addition to the family circle. Memorial day will be held at the Methodist church next Saturday, the 27th. Usual exercises, with sermon, will be observed.

Rust and family i venport and Statesville colleges.1 Sev To the Editor of The News-Herald: In your issue of the 18th there is an article signed "C. F. McKesson," which you dignify in the head-line as "A reply to Mr. John A. . Dickson.' This article does not attempt to re ply to the one I wrote, which was printed in your issue of the 11th, nor to discuss the question at issue, which is: "Is it fair and right for a ma jority of the town of Morganton to annex a section outside their limits and levy taxes upon it, to pay debts for improvements already made. which they are not able to extend into the new territory; and this in viola tion of their agreement not to do so." Mr. McKesson's article is full of abuse, mud-slinging and misrepresen tations and seems to be intended to divert the attention of the people from the real question. Mr. McKesson says I was a town ITEMS FROM WORRY. Sunday lux s. ?? oamco zjju, uatuir j '"J y ' with her daughter, Mrs. W. C. Hef tr, j R. J. Arney, near the btate Hospital. Mr. T. J.

He asks if, when I was chairman of the Board of County Commissioners I did not nearly double the taxes of the Burke Tanning Company. I did not. ,The tax assessor raised their taxes, with that of others, and the Board of Equalization, of which I. was a member, lowered their assessment, as the records will show. He says that about thirty years ago, during my term as commissioner, the first brick sidewalk was built just across the street from my home, while the rest of the town was in the mud. It is true that I was on the Board of Commissioners that built the first brick sidewalks in town, ex tending from Mr. R. T.
