There cannot well be two opin ion as .to who wll be nominated at Denver this week, Large bodies are said to move slowly, and it may take Mr, Taft some time to get around over the country this fall and make speeches. The enormous quantity of ham consumed at Gharlotteduring the session of the State convention, must nave created a ravenous thirst. Bryan and Towne. We are not in the predicting business, but these names may shine out con spiciously after the Denver cod vention has adjourned. The employees of the Southern, both present and former, will re joice over most any plan which will result in an increase of the force at Spencer, without any re duotion in wages. When they get through the con vention now in session at Denver, we will haye the supreme satis faction of knowing that we wil not be worried by any similar gatherings for awhile. It is pleasing to note that there is some prospect of the. troubles of the iWhitney Company being Batisfactorially settled at an early date, for this will mean a resump tion of the work at Whitney. Reports continue to come in as to the damage done in differen sections of the county by the re cent heavy rains. The greates damage seems to have been done to corn growing on bottom land If Gov. Glenn has a real good speech on tap, and he usually does, he may give some of them a run for second place on the Demo cratio national ticket, but the South, upon which the party must depend for success, can hardly hope for even this much recogni tion. several oi tne prominent men of the Democratic party are said to have already refused to accep the second place on the nationa tioket. Some'one will have to ac a a t 1 ll cept it or mere will be a poor how. Perhaps some obliging pa triot caD be found who is willing to take a chance on the vice-pres idenoy. For some time business in the national market has been exceed mgly dull. And this condition has not existed in any one locali ty but seems to have been genera throughout the State. Some o the omoials whose duty it is to hand out licenses to young con pies about to embark upon a mat rimonial career, have been look ing rather gloomy. We trust there .will soon be a boom of business in this line. arm tmd Oar den THE WOOD LOT. of A NARROW ESCAPE. Revenue Collector Darts Has a Close Call In Rising Waters. Deputy Collector J. M. Davis sustained a property loss and came near being drowned himself Fridav in a swollen stream in Alexander county. Mi. Davis was in Alexander county bonding some brandy dis tilleries. He was accompanied by J. A. Parker, of Statesville. About noon Friday they eame to a small creek or branch, near where it empties into Little river, about eight or ten miles from Hickory. When they reached the stream Mr Parker carried Mr. Davis' grip across the foot-log A boy was sent on a mule and it appeared that the stream was safe Mr. Davis had crossed it'about an nour before. The rtream rose very rapidly and when Mr, Davis drove in the swift current turned the buggy over and washed buggy and horse down stream. Mr Davis jumped out, made for the bank and was pull9d out by Mr Parker. The bank was so- steep that if Mr. Parker hadn't been there Mr, Davis would have been helpless to get out himself and would have been washed into Little river, where escape from drowning and being battered on the rocks would have been im probable. After Mt. Davis was rescued they turned their attention to the horse. They got him to the bank once but he could not get out. He became detached from the buggy after the horse and buggy had drifted nearly a mile down Little river but the current was so swift and the stream so rugged that he had no chance. He was finally washed into the Catawba river, over a mile from where he started, and was taken out on the opposite side of the river. The buggy was headed towards the ocean when last seen. The horse was taken to a home in Alexander county. It is so badly used up that Mr. Davis does not expect it to recover. He estimated his damage, including the loss of the horse, at $240, Statesville Land mark. Devices For Making the Cutting Timber .es Laborious. The increase of interest in timber raising . makes the consideration of any devices or aid to the woodcutter of interest. The accompanying sketch shows a support or guide for a saw, which may readily be attached to a log or timber with ordinary tools to THE SCHOOL FOR THE BEOPLE. he Thirteenth Year of This Well-Knowif Institution Will Ojen Sept 1. 1908. , There will be a prominent new eature in that those boys and girls who will not, under ordi nary circumstances, study will He under the - direction of one of the teachers to direct their studies at night.

The details of this attachment are shown. Says the Scientific American: The at tachment consists of a clamp adapted to be secured to the handle (A) of an ordinary ax. ' The clamp comprises two jaws (BK through which a bolt is passed. The upper end of this bolt terminates in a support The support consists of two parallel arms, between which a roller (O) is mounted to rotate. The bolt which passes through the Saws of the clamp is fitted with a wing nuk and by turning this nut the Jaws may be pressed together on thes handle of the ax. . In use the ax is driven into the log, and the clamp is then made fast with the support, standing ver tically. The saw is then guided be tween the arms of the support, and the back of the saw rests on the roller. With the saw thus supported and suided. it may be operated in the usual manner to saw through the log. The roller may be mounted near the outer end of the support or close to the Jaws. In the former case the saw will operate between the roller and the jaws, and the support must be mount ed to project downward, in order to permit of removing the saw from the support it is preferable to support the saw on the outer side of the roller, guiding it in the "open slot formed by the two arms of the support The damp is then applied, with the support projecting upward instead of down ward." This useful attachment for sawing logs has been patented by Mr. Levi Smith of Marshfield, Coos coun ty, Ore. A sawhorse for household use may be made like the ordinary 'sawhorse, except that at the back instead of a narrow edge a wide edge is put, with a top piece four Inches wide. It can be made wider If desired. Two strips along the side form a box, which will hold tools and nails. It is about the handiest thing the handy man around the farm can have. To bring the forests to their full productiveness they must be cut over. The ax is the forester's hoe as well as his scythe.

Miller, Atty. 7-1 2t A good many of the firms on which the rent was recently raised, because tb.3 occupants chose to use their own judgment as to how they should vote in the prohibition election, have found other places to do business, and the places va cated are vacant. As the own er of the buildings' started a sys tem of persecution, because of ones political, or rather moral convictions, it looks to us like business suicide for a firm to at tempt to make use of them. We do not believe in such meanness, but under the circumstances the people of this community will hardly run over themselves in an effort to do business with the new occupants. A recent Asheville disnatch states that a number of prominent Republicans of the State are en deavoring to persuade Judge Pritchard to enter the race for governor as a candidate against Kttohen.

Safrit is in Salisbury painting for a few days. Mrs, W. L. Sifford, of Salis bury, made a flying trip to the country to visit her father-in-law in this community on the 2nd. W. H. Bost, of this community, has rented his farm to Mr. Cook, and Mr. Bost will move to Salis bury this fall. Thomas Redwine, formerly of Greensboro, was in this commu nity looking over some land as he wants to rent or buy. M. J. Bost and son were both confined to their home on account of sickness for a few days. Rev. C. B. Miller, of China Grove, will preach in Salem church the second Sunday in July. Rev.

There were cot from the na tional forests during the last fiscal year the equivalent of a little over 280,000,000 board feet of timber. This involved cutting operations on slightly less than 860,000 acres of land, or about one f our-hundredths of the total area of the government b forests. In other words, hardly a beginning has been made in bringing the forests to their highest productiveness through use, and their reserve of mature tim ber has scarcely been touched by the operations under way.

To destroy the germs of smut on oats and other seeds add iu&t a pound of formalin to thirty gallons of water, spread the seed on a barn floor and sprinkle the solution over it, making it thoroughly damp. Then shovel it Into a pile and cover It with sacks or blan kets for about two hoars, so that the chemical may act on the grain. The grain may then be dried for future use, but It is better to sow it at once. The seed should not be so moist as to pack In the hand. Thirty gallons will treat 100 to 150 bushels of grain. Jos, McDaniels, an employee of the blacksmith shop at Spenoer, was painfully hurt last Friday. While engaged in stearing some heavy iron, a piece of the metal , struck him on the thigh, inflict ' ing injuries which may keep him from work for several days. Utilizing a Broken Hoe. Don't throw away the hoe with a broken handle even if there are only two feet of the handle left. Instead take it to a blacksmith shop and have the hoe straightened out eta a line with the handle. It would not be amiss also to have the hoe sharpened. You will find this useful in many- ways around tbe'chlcken bouse or In the gar den for digging weeds or lifting plants for repotting.

Great Blood Tonic The recent drug exposures in this Country have proven to all that deadly poisons and stimulants lurk in many Patent Medicines. You never know when you might be tak ing some of that class. Nature has made ample provision for restoring: vigor and vitality to humanity, and the public, as well as doctors, resort to Natural Remedies, when all others have failed. Are you troubled with Dyspepsia. Nervousness Malaria, Kidney or Bladder Trouble, Chronic Diarrhoea or Dysentery, and above all, that dreadful disease Scrofula, which has almost baffled human skill, or Diseases pecu liar to Females? Piedmont-Bedford Concentrated Iron & Alum Water Is Natures Remedy from impoverished or for Nature's Ills. Yes, when you consider that disease comes run down conditions of the system, this Natural Mineral Water furnishes the svstem what it needs. The analysis of this Water, shown on the bottle, tells you what Nature thinks you should take when sick, and the doctor who reads it will agree. Do you think the grouping together in this Water of 17 different minerals, which are recognized by medical writers as most powerful blood tonics, could have been accidental ? Reason answers, NO 1 An 18-oz bottle of Piedmont-Bedford Concentrated ;Iron and Alum water contains all the minerals of 25 gallons of the average natural water Then why buy a barrel of water when you can get a bottle of minerals at the trivial cost of one dollar. The dose is a teaspoonful in a glass of your own spring water. How this Water acts upon the system is not clearly known. It is judged mainly by its works. It has cured all the diseases numerated above, and many more, evidently through its action as a powerful BLOOD TONIC. We have many valuable certificates, which we will be glad to mail, if you are interested. J. M. ECHOLS CO., Lynchburg, Va. Sold and Recommended by T. W. Grimes Drug Co., Chestnut Hill Drug" Co., H.
