HlooreVi land near' the junction , of the - iBd neyvdlle and Blue Ridge roads. BIr. Moore has been making pre parations Ton a large scale for the summer ettove wood business. He already had ; a large "amount of wood cut &nd corded, and .a force of (hands was at work cutting in in the woods. One of the hands found a colony of spiders, and, in spite" of the resanonstrances of the otthers, insisted on burning it out.

S. &1AXWELL AND COMPANY During these daya of food adul teration and evasion oif; the. so called (National pure food Jaws, it is of (highest importance that con sumers study the conditions un der which their food supplies are handled. It fia a distinct pleasure to call attention to the Pvxe Food Gro cery of S. Maxwell & Co., on Mairi street, (near the Electric Line Oor- betr. v This well known' firm not only buys pure food products but while they Iremain in their very beauti ful and modemly arranged store, every precaution is taken to keep them panitarily pure. ; , For; instance, sugar, rice, etc. etc, We kept in dust proof recep-t tacles, . Nearly aW other articles are kept under glass. Tlhe old fa&Aioned sugar, : cracker bnd cof fee 'barrel are all conspicuous by their -absence. " - : : ; V There is too mbre attractive or modern jatore in any city -no mat ter what, itis size. The igreat display windows are a" consitant, temptation to step in and buy of the appetizing pure foods there displayed, and once inside the courteous attention of Messrs. S. Maxwell or E C.

Stato'nt v.. Chairman. H. .W. Allen, County Auditor. W. H. CALE Superintendent of OtySclhools DUCKS The rapidly growing popularity of the Indian Runner duck yjx Hen- demsotn county makes the breed a matter of getneral interest. J. S. Holbert, who lives on the Clear, Creek IRoad, jusit outside of itowm,- has demonstrated what may be done here with' these duck wonders. , . - . Mr. Holbert (has . six English Standard Indian Runner ducks, of the white egg strain. These ducks laid 186 eggs during March and 172 during April, or 358. in two molnths which establishes 3 new recordin jegg production. It is (needless to say Mr. Holbert is re .ceiviing more orders for Bettings thaln he can possibly fill. , ' The Indian Runner is email in size, imitiensely active, and their peamstent laying has given them the liame fof the Leghorn of the duck Ifamily. The shape differs greatly 'from that of other breeds of ducks, and they lack the char tacteristic duck aVble, In a recent egg comitest in Aus' tradlia four Indian Runner ducka averaged 266 eggs each for ; the year. -' 1 !

' For myself laasd thoisje who ran on thie ticket with' me in the re-. cent municipal election, I wish to 'heartily thdnk those. men who vot ed and fworked tor ua.We cer- tadnly fapprociate their efforts in our behalf. '-,.'- ; We are not, under Ihe circum stances much disappointed at the result. Before we jwere inomii&ited a tist of the registered voters pf fhJe city was canvassed. The re sult of this canvass showed that the Democrats had too large a ma jority for jus.to overcome, if any-i thing like fall the Democrats of the to wn approved thie manner in which the affairs of the city had been handled for the past year by a board thie majority of whose members were democrats. But i not withstanding our decision that j Hhie majority -Was too large for us 1 to overcome under the- circum stances, our leading party , men tlio-ught: fit .best for us to run a ticket, nd ; laccordingly a meeting of our people was called, land my self, . and Messrs.' Griffith Stepp and Gibba were selected at that meeting: to make the fight. And we are glad !t)o know that those who stood by us so loyally, are pleased with the fight we put up; We pitched our contest upon ft 'high plane, fand we believe ourop poxjents will admit that we fought a clean tfighjt. I hope to see the day come when our public officials can be elects! by the votes of conscientious cit izens who may be permitted to go to the polls and vote as free men, for the Candidates of their choice. If this day should ever come in this . country we will, no doubt, generailly.et the bea tmen elect ed to office. .1 hope the people of North Carolina, will at no late date wake up to -a full sens of their duty fin this , respect, and bring such, pressure to bear that the Leg islature will not dare refuse to pass a law under, the yorkinigs of which every voter can !go up to the bal- lot box, with la full realization of what he is (going, there for, and: Cast his vote absolutely unfettered. Would not fa (situation Hike that be a "great improvement over our presenlt methods? , J However, let ae sfaly in nfclus io.n (that I fully believe there re a considierible number of Demo crats in our city who do not ap- prove of the manner in which the affairs of our town jare being ad-' ministered by Dejnocrats, and who would have volted for our men last Tuesday, but for the f act that they thought if 1 they old so they would probably Jbe hazarding jthedr chances for ja place at President Wilson'a big pie counlter. If there is fanything in the World that -will induce the average Democrat to do something he idbes blot desire to do it" is the probability, or bare possiihdlity, that he taay be given a islice of Federal pie, fa"' thing : which Is )so rarely dished out to him.
