ing of his death. Tho funeral was

Greensboro, N. C., Nov. 6.—Repub
lican headquarters for the state, which
lias been maintained here by Gilliam
Grissom, secretary of the. atate com
mittee, since the last election, now
boasts a -new sign. This is an dec-
trically lighted board, about three
feet square, with an elephant painted
upon both sides. Upon the side of
the animal that represents the once
dominant natiorral party i.-i the word
“Republican" in large letters and un-
der this in smaller characters,
“K’d’q’t’s.’' The last abbreviation or
contraction has aroused considerable
speculation. Mr. Grissom stoutly
contends that it mean^ “headquar
ter.'?,” but tp the thirsty it suggests
Buch things as “hundred quarts.^’
This quantity of anything designed to
quench thirst, however, would be so
small that it w^uld not begin to sup
ply the demand that would be made
on a state political organization.
To Mr. Grissom the prospects of
the gj-aiid old party in 191S are ro
seate. He is sending the paper pub-
'lished by the state ojmmittee, "The
Protectionist,” to every county in the
state and the organization or indi
viduals are paying for a lat-ge circu-
iation list. Ettrly in the spri.ng a
vigorous state campaign will be oom-
mcnced and this wiil be carried for

Old Zelce Perkins sold his logs one
day, and the gosh darned fool threw
his money right away. He rode into
town sitting on a board, and came
riding home in a darn litle Ford.
When he came to the house and up
to the gate, he shut down the throtle

the rein, gjat the throttle instead and

nation in a positien wherein it can ef-
fertiyely defend itself if attacked is
so firmly in accord \vith Republican
feeling and conviction that there can
be little doubt that the President's na
tional defense program will be ap
proved if it gets only a mode>-ate sup
port from the Democrats in House and
Senate.
Strictly party measures such as
were dragooned through the last Con
gress and kept it in almost continu
ous session for two yeai's will not
have the same good fortune at this
session. We doubt if any part of the
Proident’s unfinished program of the
Ijwt Congress wUi'cut much iigure in
this one. The shippurai^se bill prob
ably will reappear in a modified form,
but with less chance of adoption than
it had in the last Congress. The La
J'ollette Act should be repeal^ and
the tariff law mo^iiied. The Presi

“The taxes will have to be increas

larger crmy and navy they will have
to pay for it. Generally speaking
changing the tariff will not meet the
situation because the inipoa'ts have
been cat down by the war. Of course

distinction of being plaintiff in three
divorce case-s, the first divorce of W.
L. Cates came in ISOa, when he se
cured absolute separation from Fannie
Cates. On the same day that this
verdict was rendered he re-courted and
re-married Fannie Cates. Later he
secured another divorce from Fannie
Cates, making it twice that he married
and divorced the same woman. He is
now suing Dorcia Cates, his third le
gal, but really second wife for ab

I .
I One of the nio.st ingenious bits ef
j gossip that have been circulating in
jWashingtjon since the announcement
j of tiie engagement of Mrs. Edith Bol-
! ling Galt to the President is that Lha
I chief executive, consciously or uneon-
j.sciously, “cut out” Dr. Gary Grayson,
i the handsome young Virginia naval
officer who is the White House phy
sician. Dr. Grayson had been show
ing the lovely widow a -vood deal of
attention, and it was through him
chat she became acquainted at tha
White Hcuse.
Those who relate this variant of
the ro,-nance which is interesting
Americans more than >iny other clinch
its appaal with the thetorical ques
tion. What chances could a poor young
naval surgeon have against the Presi
dent of the United States in a con-
tet;' .or a woman’s hand?
>.ons of the parties concerned is
likely to afBrm or deny the story or
to pay any attention to it, and thqre
is no harm in giving it for what it is
worth in the Old Dominion, the moth
er Stale of all three.
Woman is considered tise cusiiodian

stints all his life to build a fine home.
When it is finished, too often, it is too
