BR ITT WILL HAVE TO ANSWER
- The nomination of Prof. James J.
Britt for Congress, by the republicans
of the tenth district, was to have been
expected, notwithstanding his recent
"letter of withdrawal" from the contet
in which he deplored the "unseemly
conduct ot certain republican leaders,
It turns out that Mr. Britt'a letter was
a grandstand play and its evident pur
puse, that of creating sympathy for
him has been accomplishsd. It was
clever scheme the professor worked on
bis republican opponents, but he has
quite a different proposition to deal
m with in the opposing party, the leaders
of which will be on to his curves at
every turn in the game. Then there is
an element in Mr. Britt's own political
house-hold who are going to want some
things explained. The following com
munication appearing in the Asheville
Gazette on June 29. indicates, some
what, the current of things in republi
can circles:
"And Abraham replied to Isaac, the
Lord will provide a sacrifice. So quot
ed Col. V. S. Lusk, the republican war
horse, yesterday when asked what the
republican party of the tenth district
would do for a candidate for congress."
. An admission that whoever mounts
the alter in this contest against W. T.
Crawford he does so as a burnt offer5
" ing, and that there is no chance for a
republican to win in this contest ui.der
the present situation of discord and dis
sension sowed in the republican party
by the former federal ring bosses of the
Holton, Harkins & Rollins brigade.
This being a truthful admission, I ap
peal to the republicans of the tenth con
gressional district to stay the hand and
blmnt the dagger that otherwise will be
plunged into a innocent Isaac by plac
ing on that altar, as Mr. Harris said,
"that nice young man," Thomas S. Rol
lins; and the blood be upon thy own
head. If Prof. Britt had been nomi
nated he would have had to account and
been responsible for the malicious prose
cution of Spencer Blackburn at the
-hands of the revenue bosses through
whom Mr. Britt got a special appoint
ment to appear in the prosecution of the
only federal government officer in North
Carolina, holding a commission from
the express dictation of the people.
I appeal unto republicans to render
unto Caesar that which is Caesar's.
Nominate Thomas 8. Rollins for a
carving subject, of William Tecumseh
Crawford, tne statesman from Crabtree.
A Moss back Republican.
Fair View, N. C, June 27, '06.
Just how the republican nominee is
going to reconcile these matters re
mains to be seen. He claims not to be
a factionist, yet withal he was the can
didate of the Harkins-Rollins wing of
his party two years ago and has been
their ohoice during this entire col test.
He has accepted favors at their hands
and who doubts if, perchance, he should
be elscted to congress, that he would be
the servile tool of Butler, Harkins, Rol
lins & Company. However W. T. Craw
ford will beat hiin 2000 votes and repre
sent all the folks.
WANTED: NEW OFFICERS.
'The evil effects upon a party of keep
ing one man in an administrative office
for a great number of years have been
demonstrated a number of times in this
county. It has a bad effect upon the
party because it discouraged many de
serving men who feel that the party of
fers them no hope of advancement, al
though they are just as capable of fill
ing the position as those in office. It
has a bad effect further because the in
cumbent feels after awhile that the of
fice is his private property and he re
sents any attempt upon the part of any
one to interfere with it. Then sooner
or later the people get tired and defeat
at the polls a man whom they think has
had an office too long. E. M. Hendrlx,
in Greensboro Patriot.
This is well said. Frequent changes
in official circles should be demanded by
the people of all political parties. There
are just as capable men out of office as
can be found among the elect who are
holding down positions by virtue of the
people's suffrage. The above quotation,
- by Mr. Hendrix, refers to the democrat
ic county of Guilford, but applies, with
equal force, to boss-ridden Henderson,
which has for years been dominated by
republican ringsters who have come to
believe that the offices belong to them
and their family relations. How long
will a suffering public be thus imposed
upon? The time ia ripe for a change,
but the same old crowd will again nom
inate the republican ticket.
A. H. Price, assistant district attor
ney, will not give up his job yet awhile
The department has informed him that
the matter will go over until Septem
ber. Judge Doble, of Statesyille, how
ever, it is stated, has certainly been ap
pointed to succeed Price.
Congressman Chas. E. Thomas, of the
third congressional district, was renomi
nated for his fifth term last Wednesday
Mr. Thomas ii one of ihe ablest con
gressmen North Carolina has to repre
sent her.
Congressman E. Bpencer Blackburn
was nominated -to' succeed himself in
congress in the eighth district republi
can convention held last Wednesday in
Wilksboro. There was no contest and
no dissensions. He was nomin ated by
acclamation and amid much enthusiasm
Hon. W. T. Crawford was on Saturday
nominated for congress in the tenth die
trict over Congressman Gudger. who
has represented the district four years
The "convention also endorsed Bryan
but a resolution endorsing the free sil
ver idea was overwhelmingly snowed
under. Lexington Dispatch.
Yes, "a resolution endorsing the free
silver idea was overwhelmingly fcnowed
under." The democracy of the tenth
district proprses to deal only with living
issues.
Congressman W. W. Kitchen, of the
fifth North Carolina district, was nomi
nated last week, by acclamation, as bis
own successor. This will give him a
term of service in the House covering
a period of twelve years. But so well
has Mr. Kitchen served his const! tuen-
cy, that there is no intimation of dis
placing him and unless the state dem
ocracy insists upon making him gov
ernor two years hence, he will continue
to represent the fifth district in con
gress. And little Charlie Frenchie Toms
"orated" at the republican congression-
m
al convention in. Asheville last Saturday.-
Reporting this feature of the
event the Gazette says: "He referred to
his recent conversion to republican
principles and said he Was delighted
that he had been received at the front
door of the party and given the right
hand of fellowship. "Had I not been
received at the front door,' said he, 'I
would have come in at the back door,
and had the back door been closed to
me, I would have b-r-o-k-e in." Think
of Charlie Toms, or any other gentleman
of respectability and common decency
offering to break in at the back door of
Marion Butler and Jim Young. Per
ish the thought!

SHAVE WITH HOT STEEL.
Ah Old Cutler's" Advice to Men Who
Ce a flasor.
"Whenever I hone a razor," said an
old English cutler, "I always give some
advice with it, free, gratis, and I tae
great satisfaction in knowing that I
have made shaving easier ajid more
comfortable for more than lOOO men.
Almost'every barber will tell you how to
strop a razor, but it takes a cutler to
tell you how to care for your strop and
how to get the best work out of your
blade. '
"A swing strop, canvass on one side
and horse hide on the other, is the best
Always hold it taut and draw the razor
lightly, but swiftly, from heel to point
If you let the strop sag you will put
a round edge on your blade. Don't for
get to cover your strop or put it away
in a drawer after using. If It hangs
In a bathroom near a window the dust
and grime get into it and sexy take
the edge from your, razor. Whether
you keep the strop covered or whether
you don't, rub your open hand over the
two surfaces to free it from dust
"But what I consider my most valua
ble advice Is how to do away with
shaving paper entirely and at the same
time improve the cutting quality of the
razor's edge. Nine' men out of ten
shave themselves in a room where
there is running hot water. Now, the
way to get a most gratifying result is
this: Lather thickly and well and let it
remain on the face hlf a minute be
fore you begin to shave. If you have
time wash it off, for with it will come
the grit and dirt that you have loosen
ed up in the pores of the skin, and then
apply a second coat It will be as soft
smooth and clean as new velvet
"Now turn on the hot water faucet
and let it run. .Hold the razor under
the stream until it Is heated. Then
take a slanting, or diagonal, stroke, like
a farmer does with a scythe, not a
square pull, and you will be amazed to
find how beautifully and easily the hot
blade cuts the beard.
"When it Is filled with lather hold it
under the running hot water instead of
using shaving paper. This will wash
off the lather and at, the same time
heat the blade again. Don't be afraid
of taking out the temper. That would
be impossible if you put the razor In a
kettle and boiled It Try the hot blade
and you'll never shave with the cold
steel again." New York World.

HOT AND COLD WATER.
flow to Cie Theie Remedies to the
Best Advantage.
- Hot or cold water is excellent as an
application for inflammation, conges
tions or abrasions, but how many peo
ple know which to apply In particular
cases while awaiting the : arrival , of
medical relief? Not many, and the mis
takes made in some instances are lu
dicrous. Take the barber, fop example, who
has cut his patron's face. He generally
washes the face with a towel soaked.
In warm water, often pressing it right
into the injury, and then wonders why
the blood flows from the cut so freely.
In ninety-nine cases out of a-hundred
if he had used cold water, , and the
colder the better, the blood would
have ceased to flow from the injury al
together, as the cold would have a ten
dency to contract the openings In the.
torn blood vessels. In all cases of such
cuts or abrasions -very cold water will
at least reduce the amount of Bleeding
if it doesn't stop it altogether, and yet,
singularly enough, boiling water . will
have the same effect.
Water below the boiling point in
creases the flow, but above that de
gree decreases it. In surface inflamma
tions or congestions cold water ought
to be used, while if the condition is sit
uated below the' surface hot water is
necessary as an application because it
draws the blood toward ' The surface
and thus stimulates the circulation
through the part where it is most
needed.
In cases of abscesses or pimples
with pus forming in them, but which
have not yet come to a head, the secre
tion of pus can be rapidly Increased
and the duration of the annoyance
thereby decreased by applying hot wa
ter to them at frequent Intervals.
"Where the eye is inflamed or smarts,
after a period of eye strain, such as
night work often induces, hot appli
cations are the things for relief, but
the water used should be gradually
allowed to cool off toward the end.
Tired eyes will Invariably be rejuve
nated by adopting this method of treat
ment, and many headaches resulting
from such a condition may .thereby be
prevented or cured. St. Louis Globe

BLEAK SHETLAND.
Its Swarms of Sea Gulls and Its Lone
Tree.
Up a little lane off Lerwick's one
street there is a garden. At least, it is
an inclosed space. In the middle of
this space there is a tree. It is not a
very tall tree; you could, in fact, toss
a biscuit over Its branches, but still it
Is a tree the . only tree In Shetland.
And Shetland is proud of it. Children
who are brought for the first time to
see the wonders of one streeted Ler
wick are shown this tree. This is not
fiction. It Is the only tree in Shetland.
As there are no trees in Shetland,
there are no birds, except, of course,
the sea gulls, which you can number
by the thousand. The sea gulls are the
sparrows of Lerwick, and, as such,
they have a greater share In the town's
life than have the sparrows of London.
In the morning time you will note that
a sea gull sits on every chimney pot
Sea gulls swoop and hover over every
roof in the town.
The air Is full of their strange, high,
plaintive, haunting cries. Their sad,
shrill, long drawn cries are to Lerwick
as the chattering of sparrows or the
cawing of rooks are to us in England.
Every house has its own familiar sea
gulls and every street its own band of
sea gulls. They never mix. The chil
dren in each house have a pet name for
their own particular sea gulls, and,
having called them to them by those
names, they feed them every day. And
each sea gull knows what is meant for
him. No sea gull attached to one house
ever seeks to eat the food scattered
from the bouse next door. He does not
dare; the other gulls" would kill him.
So all day long the sea gulls hover and
call over the roofs of Lerwick. The
people of the town, if they come across
a little pile of rice laid upon the road
way, step over it with care. They
know that it Is placed there for some
sea gull. And at night the sea gulls
leave their own appointed chimney
pots and fly gracefully away to their
resting places on the rocks of the Isle
of Noss. London" Express.
