' - Mr. VadderfordV candidacy is now quite encouraging- The re cent rulings of the executive com mittee has greatly strengthened him. -- " - " It is a strange thing that good citizens will vote for and support men for municipal office, that they would not think of trusting to handle their private . business. There ought to be no trouble in finding suitable men in Salis bury for aldermanic timber. We have plenty of them in each ward and we should make it a point to select the best. If the Democracy would 4hrow some of the httlepolitical j)iosti-tuteSjit-iarnow encumbered with, overboard, its voting strength would be materially increased thereby. But is this gag rule to continue till only th dictators remain? It is with great pleasure we note the appointment of Hayd e n Clement, Esq., of this city, to the position of Assistant Attorney General, a position created by the last legislature. Mr. Clement is a young man of many excellent qualifications and will no doubt fill the position in a V6ry credita ble manner. The man who refuses to abide by the action of a party that steals his franchise; or allows it to be stolen, in Its primary, and gives. it to another, is more honorable and trustworthy than the little political prostitute who wears a boss' collar that comes up ' so far above his ears that he cannot tell the difference between day c and night. A noted English lawyer once remarked that he would under take to drive a coach and four through any act of parliament One might almost do the same with theecorder bill. It is de cidedly ambiguous in places, is loosely worded, is susceptible of a variety of constructions, and with al, such a bill as a good lawyei would have no difficulty in tear ing all to pieces It is a peculiar thing to see how some people will vote for a can did ate- because a little curbing or a few shovels full of cinders, or sand, has been thrown on a pave ment near his residence. Why not elect a man who will dp these things because it is his duty to do so, not because he believes he is buying your votes with the city's -money. Citizens and taxpayers should be above such traffic. They, should demand proper at tention to their streets and side walks and remain free to vote as their consciences dictate. It has been circulated that the friends of prohibition in Salis bury jure making preparations for the purpose of holding an election in Salisbury at some early date. Wdo not doubt that these good peopje would gladly take: advant age of any favorable ; opportunity that might present -itself. But after careful inquiry nothing can be learned of such a movement, in fact the report seems to have been circulated -for reasons just the reverse, in other-words: to f ighteh the bar men into' a more determined fight against Mr. Van derford and thus possibly aid in tBoyden 's re-election. That is all there is in the ; story, ; m erely C a cheap piece ; of campaign bun combe, originated in a large, Jurid vacuum ajid without sufficient vi- talitxto bear repaating.- j : i urreau stress nas oeea lam on the alleged fact that I. the expense of a recCrder's court r here-will -be but f $720 -a year'Cbisisinis leading.-whether intentionally "so or. notf we do-npt.fcnbw'. ;.The. bill saysjthe compensation . jofthejre corder c shall not4s& t68f'than;$8& per i month but thweas nothing in the. bill to: prevent the:alder: ear,:rif they see fit to do so:r Bo s ides this tiie'biU- provides for.W recorder's clerk, and he will haye t v be paid; Thero is little - need; we think, to worry. over the" mat ter, for it is doubtful if the meast ore will be carried at the election iu May. . Howevery "when-' we at tmpt to explain the provisions of ihe bill to the voters of thecity, i t is just as wel 1 to state facts and not draw on our imagination. As the Salisbury and Rowan v " - Democracy is now constituted it can .elect' any candidate it may see fit to nominate It can elect a negro with" convict stripes on him as easily as our most reputa ble citizen, that is, if the party stands together, as it has, and voesfbr the nominee merely be cause he is labeled "Democrat," J'his is a. very dangerous position for a party controlled by "corrup tion is ts to get into. This is why some exceedingly unworthy men were elected last fall, and, it will be the responsible factor if these fellows are ever re-elected: The present efforts of those who are now daring - to make rules by which freemen must abide in or der to .vote in thr coming mnnici pal primary, is by no means cred itable to anything that has a semblance of Democracy about it. It is a dastatdly effort to kickout some of the best men in the party, merely to assist the present mayor to break the third term rule and to tie the hands and better judg ment of the voters two years hence. In short they hope to break this rule to re-elect Boydea and :make, tb e vo teirs ; obligate themselves to stand by thii same rule two years hence and re-elect the present county officials. Are freemen going to allow themselves to be handled thus? Who are these men and ot wnat authority have they to say "how you shall vote now or at jome future date? Such usurpation of authority and dictatorial methods may be used to tide over matters in a case of emergency, they may succeed, they may even flourish for a time, but so sure as death there will, sooner or later, be an end of it. As for us, we believe in the jus tice and righteousness of our peo ple and are content -to leave it with them. - ECZEHA GERr.l DiSCO V- Dr. Dennis, Wef!

The skirts of her gowns never, have - a stringy look because thdy 'are always hooked and then hung by two" loops. For a tailors made" szirt she uses a small coat hanger with the ends bent down a little. This keeps -the skirt-in excellent shape and' causes It ta -hang in even' folds. The strings, of her un derskirts are. tied and the garment Is hungry the Joops, thus never showing a hump where It has rested on the hook. For the same reason ner snirt waists -are alwavs hxms by the arm- holes, unless they have hanging loops, Handsome waists have both sleeves and body stuffed with tissue paper and are then laid in drawers or boxes r Shoes are easily kept In shape by slipping a pair of trees Into them as soon as they are removed from the feet. If trees are not available,, news paper will do, If it is stuffed In tight. It is well to roll each veil on a stiff piece of paper. A single foil will often spoil the "set of , a veil and sometimes even mar the expression of a face. Gloves should always be removed- by turning them wrong side out They should then, be turned back again, blown ; Into shape, and each finger smoothed out Ties, especially four-h hand or golf ties, should be nung to avoid creasing. Hats, of course should be kept out of the dust and placed so that the trim ming will not be disarranged. This dis nnslHnn' Ytenends so much , on the hat and the available space that each wo- j j . man mu3t use ner own ingenuity. However, -it is safe to say that no hat should be laid flat down "on a shelf. Furs, also, should be protected-from dust, and a muff should always be stood on end. - - How to Wash an Automobile. When the owner of an automobile has' engaged a new driver he should stand by to watch the method adopted when the new broom washes the car for the first time, says the Pittsburg Press. If a hose is provided1 and the new man forthwith plunges a sponge into water and commences to wipe the mud and dust off the paint work it is' clear that he does not know, his job and should be stopped at once. Mud and dust should never be wiped off, even with a wet-sponge, but should be washed away wlthwater just running from the hose pipe without force. .It should be sluiced away, and' that can not be done properly If the water ts pouring forcibly through the . nozzle! Where mud. has caked upon the car water must be allowed to run gently over the incrustations until they break up "and are washed away. Then a clean sponge and clean water must be used for finally washing the paint work when all the mud and grit have disap peared. The final drying and polishing can be done with perfectly clean, grit less chamois learners. Cars should be washed Immediately upou coming into the garage. Wherever dried mud rests for any time a dull stain remains which nothing will remove. How to Care For a Watch. If a watch Is expected to go well and to keep good time7"tbe first and chief demand Jt makes is that it should have regular attention, says the Pitts burg Press. As far as possible it should be wound up every day about the same hour, and If it IS worn let it be worn regularly, not taken out for three days and then returned to Its case for the re mainder of the weekT Extremes of temperature should also be avoided, as sudden cold or heat works havoc with a valuable watch and Its delicate mechanism. Another point to be noted Is that the watch should be kept In the same position. If it is carried by day In an upright position, hang it on a hook "at night, preferably against some thing soft. How to Remove Grease Prom Carpet. Grease may be removed from a car pet by spreading over the spot a thick, paste of potter's clay. Tack down tightly over this some thick brown paper, and at the end of a week re move this paper and brush oil the clay. It may be necessary in some cases to repeat this process, but one applica tion is usually sufliclent. If the grease has penetrated the floor it may be necessary to raise the carpet and put the clay on the floor in the same man ner if it cannot be removed by hard scrubbing. How to Remove Fish Odors. The smell' of fish that is so hard to remove from pans and plates by wash ing or soaking will yield to lemon "skin rubbed over them.
