Democratic Nominee lor,"State • Senate Addresses Voters of Lee County on the Political Issues. Hon. Dsn Hugh MoLesn, of Her lett, Democratic candidate (or State Senator from this dlatrlot, addressed the Wilsoo-Blokett Club of this plaoe In the City Hall last Thursday night. Had It been generally known that Ur. MoLsan was to speak there would hare been a larger orowd present. Mr. Mo Lean, who Is familiar with the polltloal history of the State and Nation slnoe the Olrll War, fully sustained his rep utation as an orator and oampalgn speaker. His arraignment of the Re publican party for Its failure to enact laws benedolal to (he masses was some thing terrific. As Col. McLean serv ed as a Democrat ic the Legislatures of 1876 and 1898, he could speak from experience. He told how the Repub lican Legislature of 1868 had Issued millions of dollars of bonds, claiming that It wsi jtor the purpose br'develbp lng the resources of the State, but It turned out that It was to line the pock ets of carpetbag and scalawag politi cians, the bonds being peddled out at about 16 eents on the dollar; that when the Democrats oame Into power they prompty repudiated these fraudulent bonds. He told how these bonds hare been oonstant menance to the State and bow Daniel Bussell and Marlon Butler tried to foroe their colleotlon through the agency of other States und read an advertisement signed by them Jointly published after South Jakota had collected ten thousand aoi ars worth of these bonds, stating that Shey were In position to undertake the 3olleotIon of.these and any other re pudiated bonds. Col. McLean also had something to say about the record made by the Fusion Legislature. He told, among other things, of finding the name of James H. Young, a negro politician, carved in the corner-stone of one of the State buildings, and after the Legislature of 1898 had ordered it erased, how a-great throng gathered and watched an Irishman chisel the name out free of charge because, as a white man, he wanted to help blot out this disgrace to the State. In discussing national issues Col. McLean state i that the Republican par ty was a sectional party and that when in power it had always legislated against the best Interests of the South. He told how the high tariff and other laws passed by a Republican Congress had enabled the Northern manufact urers to accumulate huge fortunes while the South was forced to help foot the bilk Col. McLean made a strong appeal to the young men who will on the 7th of November cast their first ballot. He held up before them the record of the Wilson administration and gave this as one good reason why they should vote the Democratic ticket. A was a strong speech and will accomplish good by aronsing renewed enthuslam among the Democrats. The Democrats ex pec! to carry this district at thg com ing election and send Col. McLean tc the State Senate. . ~ Straightening and Raising Bea 2t ?6rbe 6fbmen^ndTtSMi» are. busy raising the Seaboard track from the Sanford Cotton Mill to 41 mile post, a distanoeof one and three-fourth miles. The track will be raised about three feet covering a distance o£ some six hundred feet. The hands and teams are in camp at the cotton mill. The surrey shows that the track just south of the freight depot here Will be raised ten feet and one inch and at the old overhead bridge plaoe it will lowered four feet. Much of the curve will be pulled out the track a short distance beyond this point. For some distance the new traok will run about 80 feet east of the old track and crossing the old track at the Gonolla place will run about ISO feet west for some distance. In the neighborhood of Wortby’epoee ing the traok will be lowered* from five to 20 feet. The shovels will finish grading: at that point in a ween or two. The track from 44 to 46 mile post will be lowered and at some points re-located and straightened. The contracts call for the completion of the work between Sanford and Lemon Springs by the 23 of November.! In making a trip tc Pinehurst Friday we notioed that much of the grade work and straightening ol the strack in the neighborhood of VaBt and Niagara had been about finished A large sum°of money has been spenl on ttte track between Apex and Ham let and when the work Isffnlshed ther< will be great improvement on tha part of the system.

The best collection of attrac tions ever shown at the State Fair. Raleigh extends the glad hand of welcome. Three of the Important Require ments! tor Plant Growth. In the growth of a plant three of the most importanfrrequlrements are: First, water; second, free circnlation of air in the soil; third, plant food. Generally speaking, the Ifarmers are dependent on frequent summer showers » . taw wwtur' regwtrett lor the proper development of the plants. Ii these showers do not come in the right amount or at the right time crops are cut short. Cultivation of the crops is depended upon to enable a free circulation of air in the soil and if there is too much water, as there was this year, the soil cannot be plowed and the crops suffer for the lack of air. When a crop drowns it is the laok of air that causes it to turn jellow. Plant food is depended-upon almost entirely from commercial fertilizer. Each of the above requirements (la dependent upon the other and each is absolutely necessary for the successful development of a plant; Nature assist ed by the addition of humus to the boII will insure meeting the above require ments for the following reasons: FiFBt, addition of humus to the soil enables the soil to hold a larger amount of water; increases the bacteria life in the boU which will cause more plant food to be made available and a free circulation ol soil air. This humus can be added to the boI! post profitably by the growth of wlntei cover crops. A Suffragette Convention. A play, entitled “A Suffragette Con ventlon,*' will be given at the graded school auditorium Wednesday night October the 18th, at 8:30 o’clock. The women who expect tc have th« privilege of voting some day are urgec to attend. The men are especially invited come out and see what the women wii do whsn they get to vcting.

No one in Sanford who suffers back ache, headaches, or distressing urinary ills can afford to ignore this grateful woman's twice-told story. It is con firmed testimony that no Sanford resi dent can doubt. Mrs. W. Hudson, 315 W. Martin St, Raleigh, N. C., says*. “The kidney secretions caused me a great deal of annoyance by being too freqnent in passage. I had awful pains across my loins and constant, dull, nagging back aches. I couidn’t rrst well nights, and mornings I felt tired and languid and had no strength or energy. Doan’s Kid ney Fills removed the backaches and regulated the action of my kidneys.” (Statement given January 30, 1908). On February 8, 1915, Mrs. Hudson said: "I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills off and on for a long time, when ever my kidneys have got out of order or my back has been lame.
