SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year .. $1.50 6ix Months .75 Three Months .40 MR. HUGHES BLUNDERED In hisTj speech of acceptance Mr. Hughes criticised President Wilson for withdrawing Ambassador Herrick from France "when he stood in the midst of alarms, the very embodi ment of courage, of poise, of execu tive capacity, universally trusted and beloved" Mr. Hughes said that was a bad blunder; 'and no doubt many Democrats, when they read Mr. Hughes' criticism and supposing that Mr. Hughes knew what he was talk ing about, having forgotten all about it themselves, felt rather sorry'lhat the President had not let Mr. Her rick stay oft a while. But by way of the Charlotte Observer we learn that the New York Journal of Com merce has produced the facts, whiffi -facts place Mr. Hughes in a pretty bad light, seeing that he is suppos ed to be a judicial-minded person who would try to be reasonably sure of his facts before ;passing judg ment on a political opponent. The Journal of Commerce recalls that "Mr. Herrick wished to retire from the diplomatic servjl?, and Mr. Sharpe of the same State was ap pointed as his successor some time before these war alarms. He had been awaiting his successor for some time and remained after Jlis arrival because he was familiar with the sit uation and could be of great service to Americans who were anxious to get safely away or to bave their in terests, looked after, and he left on ly when there was no real occasion for his further service. Mr. John L. Wilson, a cousin of the President, tells of a letter of high commenda tion which Mr. Herrick received from President Wilson, with which he was gpaatly pleased, and of his own efforts to induce the Ambassador to retain ! his position, wihile the lat ter's family desired the Presidetn's sister to use her influence for his recall because he was anxious to get here today by the induction into of. f ice of its four appointive members the designation by President Wilson of an executive head and the selec tion of a secretary. r ? President Wilson named George W. Norris as farm loan commission er, or executive head of the board. The oath of office was administered to Mr. Norris and C. E. Lobdell, Herbert Quick and W. -S. A. Smith the other appointivce members, in the office of Secretary McAdoo, who is ex-onicio member and chairman. Mr. McAdoo made a. brief : speech pointing out that the farm loan act was the first legislation to provide financial aid for farmers on long time and easy terms 'enacted since the foundation of the Government and declaring it meant more prosperity for the farmer and more in conse quence for everybody else. At a short session afterward W. W. Flannagan of Montclair, N. J., was chosen secretary of the board. Mr. Flannagan has been secretary of the joint commission which investi gated rural credits in Europe and drafted the present law. The board also discussed the itin erary for its trip to the Pacific Coast Tobacco! Tobacco!! est Health Restorer- And He Knows . J . "I have gained 16 pounds of good solid flesh on two bottles of Tanlac the greatest liealth restorer the world has produced, and I'm back for more of it," declared W. C. Turner. prominent grocer of Raleigh, to the lamac xaan. "Yes, sir," he continued, "Tanlac brought me out from a general run down condition when -all -other med icines failed and it has won for it self a place in mv home. Whv. I don't know what nervousness is now; have gained in strength; enjoy a hearty appetite and unbroken sleep; am free from all pains and feel an entirely different man. Before tak ing Tanlac I had fallen off 30 pounds and didn't know what a well day was for months. I'm glad of the chance to praise Tanlac for I know it will help others who give it a trial." Tanlac is sold in Lumberton by the Pope Drug Co.: Rowland. Row land Drug Co.; Red Springs. Red!? Still They Come. More New Buyers. Our Sales Go Higher and Higher Every Day.

No route for the trio was determined on but it is probable the board will go West through Northern Mates and return to Washington through the bouth, Hearings will also be held in Wash ington. Secretary McAdoo, chairman of Farm Loan Board, told North Caro linians today he favored a hearing to determine the value of claims from North Carolina for a farm land bank. This hearing probably would be held in November. , J. G. Brown, a banker of Raleigh and Judge J. Crawford Biggs, of Durham, appeared today at the , pre liminary discussjon of districts. They declared a bank should be given North Carolina and if not Raleigh, then some other city. Charlotte is making strong claims for a bank. Columbia, S. C, also is making bids for a land bank. away.". These facts do ,not justify Mr. Hughes' criticism and maybe he will be fair enough to own up that he was wrong about this and apologize for placing the President in a false light To be fair, he will of course have to do that. Appropriation of $3,000,000 Made for Park Preserves Work Washington Cor., Aug. 4, Greensboro News. The House today adopted the Sen ate amendment to the agricultura bill providing for an appropriation of $3,000,000 to be used in the con tinuation of the Appalachian park preserves. The measure is consid ered of the utmost importance to western North Carolina at this time because it is believed that with prop er protection to the timber lands in the North Carolina mountains it will be impossible for another flood, such as visited the State three weeks ago. Representative Webb had a irreat deal to do with the House adopting tne measure today. The ninth dis trict Congressman had just returned from a visit to his district where he found thousands of people in the western part of the State homeless and he had these facts and a number of pictures of the flood swept dis trict to convince Congress that the adoption of the Senate amendment was of the greatest importance to life and property in western North Carolina. frol. Bert Reece of New York. , said to be a noted oracle "the gen uineness of whose clairvoyant pow ers and cosmic insight is vouched for by hard-headed men in the va rious professions and in the fields of science, philosophy, psychology, education and business", has made predictions as follows: That the' present world war will come to an end September 7, 1916; that the Unit ed States will have war with Japan three , years from now; that Presi dent Wilson will be elected for a second term; that Henry Ford will follow Wilson as President and will serve longer than any previous Pres ident." We soon shall see what there is in the first prediction, and soon thereafter what there is in the one about President Wilson being re elected. If those two predictions come true folks will sit up and take notice of what else the professor says is going to happen. Of course we believe the professor has it down right about Wilson being re-elected, out it does not require any special clairvoyant powers and cosmic in sight to foresee that. Many South Carolina Farmers In Dire Need The recent floods in South Caro lina caused considerable damage to the crops and there are many farm ers who are in need, according to information gathered by Governor Manning. The Federal Government has made an appropriation to meet we situation, yet this will not be sufficient. The more fortunate citi zens of the State will be requested to contribute to a campaign for the sunerers. lhe appeal for funds has gone out and it is expected that lib eral amounts will be contributed. "The crops over a vast area of our Mate, said Governor Manning, "have been completely destroved and thousands of our people are wholly .n'tkA.,( :xi x : i nikuvui iiupa, wiuiuui occupation ana wm soon De witnout oread unless immediate help is given them."

Catarrhal Deafness Cannol Be Cured by local applications, si they cannot reach the dlaeuaed portion of the ear. There la only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that It by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an In flamed condition of the mucous linlns of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfi-ct hearing, and when it Is entirely closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and thia tube -restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be deatroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Hall's Catarrh Cure acts thru the mood on the mucous surfaces of the sys tem. We will give One Hundred Dollars for ny caae of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Circulars frs.t All Dmrglsts. 76c. "uiars T. 3. CHENET CO., Toledo, O.

Page, county health of ficer, is distributing circulars where they are most needed warning the people that the malarial season is beginning and telling them how to prevent the disease. He gives 3 meth ods of preventing malaria, as follows: "1st. The removal of all standing water from tin cans, ditches and ponds near the home in order to pre vent the breeding of mosquitoes which carry the germs of malaria from the sick to other people. ."2nd. Screens to keep mosquitoes out of the home. "3rd . And most important, where malaria is very prevalent, each adult should take 10 grams of quinine di vided into 2 or 3 doses one day in each week during the mosquito sea son. Smaller doses according to age. "If a person has malarial fever (chills) he should take from 20 to 30 grains of quinfne a day for three days and then continue one day in each week as above mentioned. "Recent rains have caused num erous mosquitoes in every section of Kobeson county. All people who are exposed to mosquitoes should resort to quinine as a safe preventive of malaria."
