It is the constant aim of The Pa triot to be accurate In all matters, both in it's news and advertising columns, but occas'onally mistakes will occur in spite of all the pains that may be taken. For Instance, last week Mey er's department store advertised the Lambert Snyder vibrator at a spe cial price. The opening sentence of the advertisement was written: "The secret of the ages has been discov ered in vibration," but when it ap peared in print it read: "The 'secret of the apes," etc. We can only jus tify the mistake by explaining that the proof-reader was "asleep at the switch" or blame it on the poor chirography of the ad. writer at Mey er's. In either event, the vibrator is all it is claimed to be. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S O AS TO R1A The New York World three times a week, and The Patriot once a week one year for $1.65.

Teams from he high schools of Greensboro, Charlotte and Raleigh engaged in a triangular debate last Friday night. At all three places the question, "Resolved. That the federal government should levy a graduated tax on incomes, barring constitut onal objections," was debat ed. The negative won in two in stances and the affirmative in one. Greensboro's debaters, representing the negative in this city, lost to Charlotte, and representing the af firmative in Raleigh, lost to the team there. Charlotte, upholding he affirmative at home, lost to Raleigh. Tale of a Temperance Worker. Cleveland Plain Dealer. A young woman rushed up to a young man on Superior avenue the other day and shook hands with him cordially. "I have a confession to make to you," she gurgled. "You won't believe it, but I always thought you drank?" The young man fingered for a clove and tried not to blush. "And now," she pursued, "I find that you are actually a temperance urorker. Now, I see you are trying to be modest and deny it, but you can never fool me again. I overheard my brother saying In his slangy way that you were a great booze fight er! Oh, he was in earnest. Why. he said that you had punished more of the stuff than any other 10 men in Cleveland. I'm proud to know you; you wm ever pardon me for mis judging you?" She was gone before he got through choking. The decomposed body of an infant was found in the woods on the limits of Salisbury one day last week. The body was in such a state of decomposition that it was impos sible to tell either its color or sex. James R. Allen, a white man who recently shot and killed a negro on the streets of Wadesboro, was ac quitted last week. When the shoot ing took place bystanders were un aware of trouble. Allen plead self defence, saying the negro had pre viously threatened him and that when the two met the negro put his hand to his hip pocket. Do Ghosts Haunt Sjwamps? No, never. Its foolish to fear a fancied evil, when there are real and deadly perils to guard against in swamps and marshes, bayous, and lowlands. These are the malaria germs that cause ague, chills and fever, weakness, achs in the benes and muscles and may induce deadly typhoid. But Electric Bitters de stroys and casts out these vicious germs from the blood. "Three bot tles drove all the malaria from my system," wrote Wm. Fretwell, of Lu cama, N. C, "and I've had fine health ever since." Use this safe, sure remedy only. 50e at Fariss Klutz Drug Company. BEST ROADS IN THE STATE. Charlo'te Paper Speaks the Tnr'h of Guilford's Highways. Charlotte Chronicle. Guilford county has the finest roads in the South. This is due to the fact that all were built on the very latest approved principles in road construction, and with the ma cadam is being treated tvith a coat ing of asphalt. Tlie Greensboro Re cord gives us this late bit of informa tion: "The asphalt coating put on the macadam road from Greensboro to High Point is said by those who travel it most, to be fine, if not su perfine. The work was commenced last fall and certain sections have been gone over and over until it is now in elegant shape. The point in building this kind of road is to get the asphalt well mixed with sand. In going. o.er it the first time, natu rally certain places do not receive the proper mixture, hence the neces sity of going over it and seeing that it is done. The road from the city limits on Asheboro street to a point about three miles from town has been treated with this mixture, the work being ndlw about completed. No one knows, but the impression is that the county commissioners wil now wait a year Or two to see how the work Is going to last. If it comes up to the guarantee it will be found to be the best investment ever made in that it not only makes a better road, but ads greatly in preserving the macadam in keeping it from washing and wasting away. The top dressing to macadam is easily de stroyed, especially on a grade. The constant action of vehicle rwheels loosens it and a .heavy rain takes it away liUle by litue: butnthls recover ing Serves to glue it -jlowa ahl'hold I All 'Mitf. to MiantAtnWiih. mltted to the boarflv'of commission ers of Mecklenburg , county. The macadam roads of this county need asphalt, but for some reason, the commissioners have 'been balking at the proposition, while Guilford is walking away with Mecklenburg's reputation. Were they to take a trip over the Greensboro-High Point road, they might get some Inspiration. Advertised Letter List. Letters remaining uncalled for in the postoffice at Greensboro, N.

Green McCurtain, chief of the Choctaws, has gone the ways of the flesh. Green McCurtain was a civilized Indian, a statesman and a man of affairs. He was born to command; he was shrewd and re sourceful and for years ana years he handled vast sums cf mony for his people and never a stray dollar found its way into his private purse. He was the ablest and most adroit politician in the councils of the In dians and wielded a powerful influ ence upon the vote cast by his peo ple. In earlier years McCurtain was a Democrat, but the Haskells and Murrays did not appeal to him and four years ago he broke away from the camp of Democracy and in No vember of 1910 the Democrats real ized that McCurtain had made pow erful inroads and cut down their ma jorities in many strongholds. This last governor of the Choctaw Nation had the confidence of the red men and the respect of the white men. He was a credit to his race and his country and Oklahoma lost a real builder when he passed away. The Best is Yet to Be. Grow old along with. me!
