AJihiPgfc Hailng Strong Opponents Were
Nominated K Saturdays Pdinary.
The County Democratic primar
Us were held throughout the coun
ty. Saturday aud seeme to have
been quite emphatio as to certain
candidates. A large vote is said
to have been polled and while
sufficient returns have not be re
ceived to give any accurate figures
it is known that Messrs Jps Kri
der candidate for sheriff, has more
than enough votes to give him the
nomination over his oponeuts, J 8
Hall and J Frank Miller. The
yote for J Frank McCubbins, olerk
of the oourt, was a surprise to all.
He also win be uiw d on the first
ballot. r chiving nv re than the
combined vote of his opponents,
A. L Smoot and Robert Van Poole.
The opponents of J C Ksler,coun-
ty treasurer, Wm M Erwin and
Geo H Shaver, did not develope
enough strength to defeat him. C
M C Bargex, though opposed by
strong men, Harry Uzzie and Ed
Oauble landed the Salisbury Town
ship colleotorship easily. The
vote for register of deeds wa s bad
ly split up, there being six candi
dates for this office. J C Deaton
leads with almost enough to nom
inate on first ballot, with J W
Rideoutt a good second. Those
who had no opponents of course
will be ratified promptly by the
oonvention. The vote on commis
sioners is badly divided ard it will
be neoessary for the oonve j'
to make the nominations. H C
Trott will probably be named as
tbe candidate from Salisbury
TowLship, although W L Kluttz
received a splendid vote.

plice of Sid Finger in the
murder of Preston Lyerly at

missei in the Rowan Superior
Court last week. The indK
cations, as has been previous

lieve that Finger alone was
the murderer, this Finger
confessed to. After giving
Alexander his liberty, Judge
Harding ordered the doors of
the court house locked and
instructed the sheriff to per

was done as a precautionary
measure although there had
been no threats of lynching
and no one -seemed to want
such a thing to take place.
Finger was taken to Raleigh

To Reconstruct Langlei's "Aeroplane . '
With the purpose of demon
strating the fact that a prac
tical heavier-than air flying

by the late Prof. S P Langley
Glenn Curtiss proposes to
build and Lincoln Beachy to
fly an exact duplicate ;of the
original Langley machine.
It will be copied from the
"aerodrome" of 11 years ago
which is preserved in the
Smithsonian Institution at
Washington, with the excep
tion oi tne engine, rne mo
tive power for the replica of
the now historic air craft will
be an 80 hp. Gnome motor.
In June number of Popular
Mechanics Magazine appears
a page view of the Langley
aerodrome, as it will appear
in flight when reproduced by
Curtiss and Beachey and e
quipped with a modern motor
For purposes of comparison
the artist also shows one of

experience with coughs and colds
that lead to nervousness and debility.
Tells Others How to Get Strong
and Well.
Mrs. W. W. Lake of Aberdeen,
Miss., says: "The grippe had left me
In a weak, run-down condition from
which I suffered for some time. I
tried different remedies but nothing
seemed to do me any good until I
took Vinol, from which I received
great benefit. My cough is almost
entirely gone and I am strong and
well again, and I am glad to recom
mend Vinol to others who suffer as I
did." )
Mrs. Lake's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from cods' livers
combined with the blood making
and strength creating properties of
tonic iron, which are contained in
Vinol, and her cough disappeared as '
a natural result.
We guarantee that Vinol will do all
we claim and will pay back your
monfey if Vinol does not satisfy you.
P. S. Stop scratching, our Saxo
Salve stops itching. We guarantee it.
