Judge Ray's Candidacy
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an open letter from Judge J. Bis Ray
to the Democrats of McDowell county.
We call it to the attention of our read
ers. Judge Ray has made a splendid
impression wherever he has held court
according to reports from the Western
Districts of North Carolina. His friends
say he has made good, and the fact
that he is sticking to his duties on the
the bench and leaving his candidacy to
the voters, rather than neglecting his
offical duties for his personal interests
is most commendable and should meet
with the hearty approval of the entire
citizenship. Marion Progress.

To Do and Do It
It may be you are recovering
from a sick spell or may be your system
is run down and your blood so weak that
you are in a poor shape to resist infec
tion But if you don, t feel and look ro
bust you are not robust. Such state is
often due to weak blood, not enough red
blood cells, a conditon known as anemia.
The best remedy for anemia bloodless
ness with its low mental and physical
vigor is Gude's Pepto Mangan. Pepto-
Mangan supplies the weak, watery blood
with the very elements it needs to put
new life into it. It repairs' re-creates
and vital fluid of health and life. Try
Pepto-Mangan if you are "run-down."
It cannot harm you it will certainly help
you unless you have some deep-seated
chronic disease requiring the phsician.s
care. Be sure the name "Gude's" is on.

a decade of experience, and of my
record as a Judge on the bench. Ask
any lawyer of the 19th, 20th or the 11th
Judicial District where I have presided
their opinion of my ability as a Judge
and I will abide the answer.
i Handicapped as I am, from being
compelled to hold the Courts, I trust
, the people of my District and of Ruth
- erford County will appreciate my posi-
I tion and give me, this the first endorse
ment I have ever asked of my people.
