Last week's Graham Tribune con tained the following: "After this issue tho Graham Tri bune will suspend publication for a while, perhaps permanent!;". Con ditions are not. considered hopeful for the establishment of the paper on a paying basis." Some might think, because the Tribune is of a different political faith to The Gleaner, that we would take a sort of pleasure in making the announcement. But it strikes us differently. The field is large enough for both The Tribune and The Gleaner and amply able to support both papers—not to tho extent of making Nabobs, of the owner*, but yielding a comfortable income com mensurate with the investment and labor oxpended on them. It does not reflect credit on any progressive community to allow a newspaper to go out of business for lack of patronage. It would be hard to find a newspaper not worth the subscription prico and without ade quate value to its constituency. It must, however, have patronage — subscriptions and advertisements, or it cannot exist, if dependent on •* these. It behooves every community to give its newspaper liberal support, and in doing so the community will be the chief beneficiary. And in this connection this community might wefl consider what it iB losing by failing to exploit itself to a reason able extent through tho newspaper medium, and at all times it will have returned much more than it invests in the paper. CONGRATULATIONS. Mr. Hughes sent his congratula tions to President Wilson yesterday on his reelection, lie explained that the closeness of the vote -in Cali fornia caused the delay, as he was waiting for the official count. Well, after 15 days "watchful waiting" Mr. llughes has concluded that his op ponent and not himself will be the next President of the United States, Emperor Francis Joseph of Aus tria-Hungary died Tuesday night at nine o'clock. 11c was 80 years old, born Aug. 18, 1830, and had been on the throne for 08 years. The great European war .now on was brought about largely by his de termination to avenge the death o! his heir, Archduke Francis Ferdi* nand, who was assassinated on June 28,1014. Archduke Charles Francis, grand-nephew of the dead Emperor, will succeed him to the throne. The Deutchland left Tuesday ou her second return trip for llremen. She went out in the day time. The little collected by the Republicijns by popular sut>- Hcription in merely a little Joke. At best wo can only surmise, but U is probably nearer $50,000,000 If the truth were known. The Repubfi cans were pledged to repeal the Underwood Hill. The phraseology of the Republican platform was an accident. Bepeal, meant repeal of the income tax, which is over 000,000, nearly all ot which comes out of the mdlti-mlllionaire Re publicans, as there ain't no such animal in the Democratic party, so you can ace they would be making; a good investment, to spend fity mitlions and get the income tax re pealed and save over two hundred millions every year. Pine idea, eh? Well, we do not worry if the Democrats do not control the next House of Representatives. On every measure that President recommended, there were from 40 to 70 progressively inclin ed Republicans supporting it and they will do so again, and we have the Senate by at least 12 votes. Republicans in the Senate are stifl necked, but in the House they are afraid to oppose progressive meas ures. The Democrats arc going to con test the seats of four newly select ed—not elected— Republican Sena tors. New and Watson in Indiana. Souther land in West Virginia, ana McLean in Connecticut. All of these Ststes were carried by Re publican money and> these Senators should be unseated on account of election frauds, of which there Is ample proof. Just to think, the Re publicans spent over %35,000 in Hartford, Connecticut alone. Miaa Margaret Locke Erwin, daughter of Mr. W. A. Erwin of Durham, was married to Mr. James Walter Glenn of Winston.

Thanksgiving Proclamation. President Wilson Friday issued his formal proclamation setting apart Thursday, November 30th, as Thanksgiving Day. The proclama tion reads as follows : , "It has long been the custom of our people to turn in the fruitful autiynn of the y ear in praise ana thanksgiving tp Almighty God for His many blessings and mercies to us and the nation. "The year that has eleapsAd since we last observed our day of thanks giving has been rich in blessings to us as a people, but the whole df the world has been darkened oy war. In the midst of our peace ana happiness, our thoughts dwelt with paihful disquiet upon the struggle and sufferings of the nations at war and of the peoples upon whom war has bi'ought disaster Without choice or possibility of escape on their part. We cannot think of our own happiness without thinking of their pitiful distress. "Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wil son, President of the United States of America, do appoint Thursday, the-30th day of November, as a day of National Thanksgiving ana prayer, and urge and advise the people to resort to their several places of worship on that day to render thanks to Almighty Uod for the blessings of peace and unbroken prosperity which He has bestowed upon our beloved country in such unstinted measure. "And 1 also urge and suggest our duty, in this our day of peace and abundance, to think in deep sym pathy of the stricken peoples of tiie world upon whom the eursc and terror of war has so pitilessly fal len, and to contribute out of our abundant means to the relief ot their sufferings. "Our people could in no better way show their real attitude to wards the present struggle of the nations than by contr.outing oul of their abundance to the relief ot the , suffering which war has brought in its train. "In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United" States to bo af fixed.

"WOODROW WILSON, "By the President, Robert Lansing, Secretary of State.'- FOOTBALL IN RALEIGH THANKS GIVING DAY. Game Betw,een A. & M. College and Washington and Lee. 1 Cor. of The Oleaqer. West Raleigh, Nov. 22.—The in terest of the sport lovers of North Carolina is rapidly centering about the Thanksgiving football game between A. x M. College and Vv asn ington and Lee at Haleigh. This wul the biggest gridiron battle to be staged on North Carolina soil this year, and the first Thanksgiving contest to be played on the techs ' home grounds in many years. An nouncement has teen made of spe cial trains and reduced rutes.on ail 1 lines to accommodate the tide of traffic which will flow to the Cap ital City on "turkey-day". The largest attendance to ever witness a football struggle in the Tar Heel State is expected on this occasion. The State Teachers As sembly, the meeting of the general ulutnni of A. & M. in the morning, and the college dance at nignt serve us further attractions, in anticipation, new sets of bleachers have been erected along both sides of Hiddick Field, concrete stands taking the place of wooden bleach ers on one side. The A. & AI. tins shown wonderful Improvement in both form ana fighting spirit since they have been under the guidance of Coach Harry llnrtsell, who recently took charge, assisted by John Bray and other alumni. Last Saturday the Down Homers accomplished what no oth er team, with- the one exception yf the Nnvy in tho early part ot the season, has done this year, when they crossed- Georgetown's goal line. From now on Hartscll will work his men with the one idea of preparing for the final fracas with the Virginia aggregation. The Ocncral's eleven is generally con ceded to oe one of the best/ in the country to-day, so the football fans are assured of an unusual exhibi tion when these two teams meet on Thanksgiving.

Health Bulletin. •'Open Window 'Week" is to be observed next month in Now York City in connection with Tubercu losis Week. This movement was inaugurated by the City Health Department to call attention to the value of fresh air in the pre vention and cure of tuberculosis. The dateof "Open Window Week" has l>een fixed from December 4 to 10, Inclusive, the same as that of Tuberculosis Week. Special feature days during the week will lie observed as follows: Open Wiudow Day—Monday, December 4. Medical Examination Dijy— 'lYenlay, December 5. Walk to Work Day—Wednes day, December 0. Sanitary Workshop Day—Thurs day, DeceinU-r 7: Children's Health Day—Friday, December 8. Sunshine Sabbath Saturday, Decern ber 9. Sunshine.Sunday—Sunday, De cember 10. To make Tuberculosis Week popular and its observance feasi ble and at the same time worth while to everybody is the idea of "Open Window Week." Every body can open their windows on Monday, walk to work on Wed nesday, clean up shop on Thurs day and get out in the sunshine either Saturday or Sunday. And when all of this is done in one week with the idea in mind that |it prevents and cures tuberculosis, it will be found to IK* worth while, and tuberculosis will be found to have been set back not a little i distance. i The Election; Its Significance. Cor. of The Gleaner. Washington, D. C., Nov. 20, 1010— The only vital issue that the Republicans tried to raise was the old Tariff Issue, and their de feat on this means that the coun try is satisfied with Mr. Wilson's method of handling this great subject. While, of course, out great export trade is du« to some extent to the European war, yet it must not be forgotten that by letting down the bars to European goods, we are enabled thereby to sell them more American pro ducts. For instance, our exports to Great Britain have jumped up from $700,000,000 to the enormous sum of $1,600,000,(XX) for the year ending July Ist, 1916, and our purchases have increased from #300,000,000 to $650,000,0 W. In other words, we are buying twice as much as formerly from Great Britain and she is buying more than twice as much from us. This is freedom of trade and brings prosperity to both nations. I'*lnsiirlal Emancipation. The most notable result of the presidential election is the joining hands of the West and the South. President Wilson was re-elected by the votes of the West and the South, which he emancipated from the Wall Street yoke He,is the only man since Andrew Jackson who has defied the money power of this country, and Woodrow Wilson has emancipated the busi ness men of small means, and the farmers, from the yoke of Wall Street, and it was largely an ap preciation of the beneficial results of the Great Federal Reserve Act, and the Rural Credit Bill that enabled Wilson to sweep the West the way he did. Campaign Funds. The public never knows how much money is contributed to the Republican cumpaigu funds. What is reported• by the Republican Na tional Committee is merely a drop in the bucke", which they report ed at a little over $2,0(X),000. The real Republican campaign money is that which is taken up secretly from the great money masters of the country and which no doubt is far in excess of $25,000,000. Take the vote of Indiana for in stance, Roosevelt and Taft receiv ed 312,000 votes in Indiana in 1912. Mr. Wils6u received 282,- ()00. The figures this year are Wilson 333,000 and Hughes 340,- 000. The 50,000 votes that came over to Wilson came from the Progressive vote of 1912, so that lenves the Republican vote of 19f2 minus the 50,000 Progressives who went over to Wilson in 1916 only '262,000 votes. So the Republican party must have carried over 50,- 000 negroes from the South into Indiana and voted them there. Every ono knows that the Demo cratic party has not enough mil lionaires from which to raise a great corruption fund if it even desired to do so, so the claim of the colonization of negroes in such States as W. Virginia, Ohio and Indiana are therefore well found ed. The Republican National Committee did their utmost to swing the State of Ohio back into their column but, the Wilson flood was so overwhelming that it swept all before it. As our election system now stands it will ho easy in the future to ship negroes from the Gulf Stales up into the close middle Western States. The Congress of the United States should pass a law requiring that every one who wishes to vole in November should be compelled to Register before June Ist, and that no national political conventions shall be held in this country until after Juue Ist, so by this means it would be very difficult to transfer these negro voters from one part of the country to another, before nomi nations are made, as there would be no national committee organ ized, and furthermore, the Re publicans eould not fry so much fat out of the millionaires before the candidate id nominated. This law should be passed at once for purifying our elections.

Winter Likely to Increase Death Rate- A bulletin from theStato Hoard of Health puts HS in mind again that us our windows go down and stay down this winter, our death rate will go up and stay up. The diseases mentioneed as those whose spread and seversity are most affected by foul air and in door living are tuberculosis, diph theria, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, pneumauia, in fluenza and all sorts of infectious colds. So dependant are these disease# for their spread upon foul air that they have been named the foul air diseases. And yet, says the bulletin, these diseases are not to be the common fate of all during the winter months, no more than was typhoid or malarial fever the lot of all during the summer. People know how to prevent them. They know that living a shutiu life without exercise or fresh air, or without observing temperate living habita as to eating, sleeping, exercising and bathing predisposes one to any of these diseases. They know also, that ihese diseases, one and all, are spread directly by sneez ing, coughing and spitting and that to avoid the disease is to avoid the careless sneezer, cougher or spitter. In add it iou to this, it is urgeil that sunshine and fresh air be admitted into the home, particularly into the sleeping, working and living rooms.

Memory Verses, #-8 —Golden Text, Rom. xil, I— Commentary PVaparad by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Tbls Is our last study In ths epistles for some time to come, but the believer who desires to grow in tn-ace and walk with the Lord will study them con stantly. In oar lesson of two weeks ago we-gave some attention to the whole of this epistle, but a little repeti tion will be helpful, with same addi tional thoughts. -The epistles, as a rule, are for believers or saints or saved sinners to build them up and At. them for service, that God may be glorified in them and other Blnners saved to help complete the church and bring the time of the kingdom. The first eight chapters of this letter teach most fully and clearly that all, with out exception, Jews and gentiles, are sinners and guilty before God and that salvation Is wholly of grace, opart from any works of ours, and that, being Justified freely by Uis grace, we are made children of Clod, joint heirs with Jesus Christ, lii the lore from which nothing can separate us; that, while we wait for our redemption bodies and the deliverance of the whole creation ?r6m Its bondage and groaning, we have all things freely given us" in Christ and all things are working to gether for our highest good. Chapters lx, x, xl. may well be called an epistle within an epißtle concerning Israel and her future. Then in our lesson chapter and onward we are told how we ought to live here to the glory of God because of all that He has done for us through grace. "I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God," because of His great grace, His great love, His great salvation, the great glory of the kingdom to which He has called you, all that He has done for you, Is doing now and will yet do. Let Him have your body to live In, to make a mansion of, while He la preparing your mansion In glory. In Rom. viii, 20, 31, 34, we learn that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all for us, and In John xiv, 17, 23, we learn that they will make their home in ns If we are willing, making each of us a mansion' for the Indwelling Trinity while our mansion in heaven is being prepared. The words "mansion" and "abode" in John xlv, 23, are the same word in the Greek, a little noun of only four letters, and used nowhere else. The same truth Is stated a little "dif ferently in Eph. ill, 17, "that Christ may dwell or make His home in your heart by faith." The living sacrifice consists of our being willing to die to all that Is of self for His sake. It cannot be self and Christ It must be "Not I, but Christ" (Gal. 11, 20). "Ws who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake that the life alsc of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh" (II Cor. lv, 10, 11). As It Is written In Rom. vill, 38; Ps. xliv, 22, "For Thy sake we are kill ed all the day long." Being made ac cepted In the Beloved at such infinite cost, so great a sacrifice on His part, it Is a reasonable service that we should be willing to be a sacrifice for Him, both In word and deed, that He may be seen in us and known throagh us (Phil. Iv. 18; neb. *lll, 15, 16). We have been called out of the world to continue in It, but not be of It The whole world lleth In tire wicked one. It la an evil world, and Its ways and cus toms are all opposed to God, and the only correct attitude for the believer la crucified to it and It to us (Gal. 1, 4; Vi, 14; John v, 19). The works of God are beautiful, but men at enmity with God are under the control of the devil, and the condition of things In Europe (June, 1915) gives us some idea of what he can do. He is a deceiver, a liar, a destroyer, a mur derer, and all who are not in Christ and on his side are on the side of the devlL How can a child of God be willing to be conformed to such a world? The word that Is translated 1 "transformed," Is used only four times and twice In the account of our Lord's transfiguration (Matt xvii and Mark l£). The other place besides here Is II Cor. 111, 18, where the translation la "are changed." Our lesson verse says that the change must be Inward, the renewing of our mind. It begins when we receive the Lord Jesus and thus become new creatures in Christ; then as we continue beholding Him we are changed by the Spirit day by day, proving more and more fully how good and acceptable and perfect the will of God Is. All that follows In our lesson chap ter Is the varied manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit, which ne will work In tis If we are yielded to Him. Versea J-10 tell of a lowly mind and a lowly ilm, not thinking anything of ourselves tor seeking great things for ourselves. There Is a pla -e iwl a ministry for »ach member of the body, as the Spirit may decide, and no room for envy or lealousy (verses 4-8).

Rob erts, specialist in home economics, who is oerating in Virginia under the management of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute - and the U. 8. Department of Agriculture, ham a can be cured to the Smithfield per fection anywhere in Virginia as well as in Southampton county, in one of the documents from the V. "P. I. she says. ■ Hams to be thus cured are best taken from moderately fat young hogs, weighing from 150 to 175 pounds. The hogs are killed and allowed hang over night, and then cut' up next morning. 'The hams as soon as cut and while still moist, are lightly sprinkled with Baltpeter on the fleshy side. This is well rub bed in with the hands. Enough saltpeter is sprinkled on to give a slighly frosted appearance. When all the hams have been cut ana treated, dry salt is put in a tub, and the hams, one at a time, are well rubbed with this salt on all the cut surfactes. The hams are then taken from the tub with as much salt as possible adhering, ana placed skin down in piles upon the smokehouse floor, so that the air can circulate freely about each ham. Care is taken that all cut surfaces and cracks are filled with cqlt as the pile is built up, and a thick layer of salt is placed be tween the layers of hams and on top of the pile If the weather is cool, not freez ing, the hams are taken out in 3 or 4 weeks, washed, and rubbed while moist with finely ground black pepper, and then hung for smoking. Smoking is usually oe gun next day after hanging the hams, and a smoke is made each day until the right color is attain ed, a bright brown be&g usually desired. Green hiskory and apple wood make a good smoke, and the fires are- usually smothered -with' damp, fallen hardwood, or wet hard wood sawdust. These hams are left hanging until needed for use.
