May Not Distribute Ballots. Some days ago a voter asked At torney-General T. W. Bickett for a ruling on certain points of the pri mary election law and we give Mr. Bickett's opinion as it was given out: "Replying to your Inquiry of this date, I beg to advise that in my opin ion the registrar has no right to dis tribute the official ballot, but must keep them in his possession, subject to his control and the control of the Judges of election until the elector comes up to vote. The elector then states with which party he affiliates and is handed the ballots of that par ty. He can take the ballots and mak?i them secretely if he desires, or fie can call on the judges to assist him. and there' is nothing in the law ^hat for bids him calling on any friend of his to assiat him in the preparation of the ballots if he so desires.*' Phllathea Class Meets.

As to the Sanatorium property, he advises that no timber be cut, except for clearing purposes, in ten years, at the end ot which time the area will be re seeded and the trees themselves will be of considerable more value. Work Is Health. Work is not the curse n Or the afflic tion that some people think it is. When taken in proper doses it is the beat of medicne. It Is now being pre scribed tor many forms of invalidism such as heart disease, "Blight's disease, nervousness. and particularly for in sanity. The lack of work is often the cause of many chronic maladies and it is a wise physician who can deter mine when one needs work instead of rest and in prescribing tlie remedy produce no unpleasant situations. About the most unhealthful person, as well as the most unhappy and useless, is the person with nothing to do. Work Is a dlspeller of fears. It Is the exercise that is as essential to ttie body and mind as are food and atr. It is only when work is carried to excess that it becomes Injurious, as in _th<s case with food, rest ana all good thingB. The ideal of a healthy, happy life is no longer a world where work is not necessary and life is one grand sweet song of idleness. Ufe is activ ity; in the broad sense, it is work ? work that produces and entails sacri fice. It is not less work that we need, but work in the right proportions and under the right conditions. -Such work is health. D# You Kmw That Light promotes cleanliness?

Under the above heading the Wln ston-Saletn Journal of May 3rd, hands out the following complimentary re 1 marks of our townsman, Hon. T. W. Biclcett which we -gladly give space : The Governor of North Carolina is an officer of very limited powers. Ha can make recommendations to the General Assembly, but only to that extent can he initiate legislation. Having no veto power, he has no di rect way of frustrating efforts at so wise legislation. The torts of the Governor and practically his only s6urce of strength, is his ability tn create and aronse public sentiment by pnt>llc address. ' i Charles B. Aycock has gone 'town in history at , the great eGuc?"""?i ? pernor of North Carolina,, not because ' be was directly instrumental in having passed laws about puDllo schools, but ;Mcapse he .went from one end of the State to the other preaching the basic doctrine of democracy, that every -child has a right to a common school education He preached it and preach ed it until he got the people to believ ing it. Then the people, not Gover nor Aycock. elected members of the General Assembly who would enact into laws a wise and progressive edu cational policy for an awakened peo ple. It was Aycock's heart filled with love for the child and his tongue en - dowed with the divine gift of elo quence that made him such a great Governor. The same is true of Robert B. Glens. He will go down In the history of North Carolina as the great prohibi ten Governor, not because he initia ted or helped to pass laws that would banish Intoxicating liquors from the State, but because- he went from Man teo to Mnrphy 'preaching the curse of drunkenness and the : tghteousness of sobriety and aroused the sleeping con science of the people. Then the peo ple. not Glenn, sent representatives to the General Assembly who would submit a prohibition law to the voters for their ratification, and Glenn had so molded public sentiment that the people ratified the act of the General Assembly by an overwhelming vote It was Glenn's rare ability to argue " conscience of the people that m?(d? " - * Governor. bean with every Governor Carolina has had- T?k# f tke opportunity v of the people and 'the Governor be comes the rightful leader of the State ^in Its many lines of progress. Mea.su red b y the test of ability lot create and arouse public sentiment. Attorney-General Bickett is pre^emi nently the one man in North Carolina beet fitted to be its Governor. Born within its borders, raised in one of its rural communities, eight years a pub lic servant as At-torney-General. Cpiliy , acquainted with conditions and nMds in every section of the State by per sonal visits to and contact with its people, the acknowledged successor of Vance and Aycock as an orator, the peer even of these as gentleman, a stu dent of public afTalrs, Bickett's friends have a ri^ght to claim that his record Is the reason why he 'should be the next Governor of North Carolina. Ban* Evens with Pine Kldge. In a game of baseball featured by the heavy slugging of the whole Bunn team, the Bunn team evened up witb Pine Ridge for her former defeat, and defeated her by the score of *29 to 4 on the Bunn grounds. Sykes led tho slugging for Bunn, getting two dou bles and a triple, while every man on the Bunn team secured at least " a double. Bunn gave her entire pitch ing staff some practice, Harris started the game, was followed by Wiggs, who in turn was followed by Shearon. Mullen the star hurler of Pine Ridge, who has been pitching such gilt edge ball so far this season, was no puzzin at all to the Bunn batters, and was knocked to all parts of the field. The batteries -were for Pine Ridge, Mullen and Dodd; for Bunn. Harris. Wiggs, Shearon and Seymore. Tt Colored Teacher*.
