While it is the - right thing for the. law to take its course, there is a certain satisfaction . that comes when we read that prisoners in the Wyo ming State prison - showed their re i spect for womanhood by lynching a black brute who cruelly attacked an aged white woman. The menwho ac complished the lynching are suffer ing the penalty of the law for many and various crimes, but they would not stand for such an outrage, and in less than five minutes they had hang ed the . negro, who was" brought to the penitentiary for safe-keeping. It certainly is not night to take the law in our own hands, and no. doubt, the convicts in the Wyoming prison" will suffer for their, deed but. men are sometimes willing to suffer .and en dure when they believe .that . their punishment isbrought about on ac count .of '.some good they, have ac complished.. These r men , ihuld know better than to violate the law in a place -where-;t violation of ..the law. 4s punished, but at the same time they have the satisfaction of knowing that they have put out of the world ont who had no respect" for white wo manhood. The Governor of Wyoming shoalifshow some speical -hnnor'to these jawbreakers and convicts who know 'no better , than 'to hang' a man who attacked "Granny" Higglns, who wag their friend. ; v ' " ' J i i i. ; i i .1 i When you have a bad cc Id you want the best medicine obtainable so as to cure it with as little delay as possible.

Remove It! v 3 . for Flcfchcr'or Signature of The Poet and the Maid. : (Judge.) He was a very poetic and Impression able youth, and. though she was a very prosaic maid, there was something very attractive about her and he often asked her - to accompany him" on moonlight walks along the country 'lanes. He was sometimes nettled at her lnSerruptlons, but, lost in reverie as he often was, he allowed her to prattle on untlU he re covered the thread of his ."lscourse. They . were crossing ,-a, small ; bridge over a creek, when he said: - "Don't you admire" a little bridge" "Yes," she interrupted; "bridge is a great game X often play with Mrs. Van Duser as my partner" . As she gossiped -on he became , lost In meditation. Coming to. a. broad river they paused at . the , margin and . he ex claimed: -' "How wonderfully entrancing this Is! just to see the cleani on the waters! Don't you like the moonlight dancing " "Yes." she chimed in. "dancing In the moonlight is so tine! I attend a.lt- Jthe hops at the hotel, " and there, on the broad, open platform" He t betrayed no disappointment at her lack ?of fartecestf In their surroundings as they stood by .the edge' of V the .stream, and he wandered on with her Into the open country. They lingered by a low stone wall as he said. Impressed by the scene: ;rV" r. "How wonderful Is nature, In all her aspects. ' How inspiring the lofty trees and the grassy levels! Is it not a boon to get -away - 'front the -city's," heat? , I pine so for the country zephyrs! , Do you not feel a yearning in you f-r a cool" . "Yes," she said,' Td ever so much like to have an ice . , '." 1 And ; sadly he i took Aa way back with her to" the hotel, and ere long he " dis appeared into the narrow1 confines of his room, to get . what comfort he ' could from bis poetic musings, -v ; . , Why Not? "Madam, you wear 'too much false "hair; It Injures the "nerve centers and fatigues the blood cells of the brain."; .Young woman, 'what do you mean by such impertinence?"

The bar of the county has gone on record asi op posed to a special terra 'of court here to" begin- December 16 and continue for two weeks, yesterday morning's paper carried a card from Judge Car? ter, who is holding court at Jackson ville, reviewing the entire " situation and he intimates that the chairman of the board of county commissioners -le opposed to the term. A" majority of the members of the bar took ,. the statement of Judge . Carter to mean an attack . upon ;, the chairman of :. the board, Mr, . Duncan McEachern, , and resolutions expressing confidence . in Mr. McEachern and asserting that it was believed that ;he was; not in sym pathy - wi th the : law-breakers in " this community were offered at the meet ing, Finally the last clause in the resolution was ellmmated ' and as adopted - it s merely .expresses oonft dence in the chairman. At their annual meeting the stock holders ; of the Seashore Hotel C9m pany, v operating one of the principal hotels at Wrightsville . Beach, . de clared a' dividend of: 1 2 per cent, and decided to make considerable Im provements before the opening of next season. The main -part of the hotel is to be remodeled, the dining room is . to be enlarged and ; his part of the building is to have another story and a half, giving 50 or 75 additional rooms. ; ,' The two automobile fire trucks pur chased 8ome time ago by the city have arrived and were given a try out today. ; .The " Are department is greatly pleased wit h the new r appa ratus. Alter having visited four of " the leading fairs in Ohio and Michigan, where splendid " exhbte were -made, where splendid exhibits: were made, GardenSpot," ? has returned to Wil mington, and with it came ; the two officials of the road who accompanied the ar to the four . places visited. 4 mi - j I M r T!i TkT I .1 ue var was iu uudrse ui. stxi. m. Clark of Wilmington, agricultural and immigration agent for Virginia,. North and South Carolina, and Mr, Wilbur McCoy of Jacksonville, Fla., agricul tural and immigration agent for Flor ida. Georgia and 1 Alabama. ' Both are well pleased with the trip and are sat isfled, that the desired results will be accomplished. Leaving here on August 27, the "Nation's Garden Spot" car went first to Dayton, Ohio, where . an . exhibit was made at the county fair. The 'xhlblts collected by the Atlantic Coast Line came 'from all parts of the v great - railroad system and was fairly representative of the South land. There were exhibits of the vari ous crops that are raised in the dif ferent States traversed by the rail road, photographs and a mass of lit erature descriptive of this part of the country. The exhibit was pronounced as v being , one of the finest ever col lected . by a railroad and Mr. Clark,' who -practically prepared the exhibit. feels justly proud of the , showing. made. No exhibit was made at the Ohio State Fair: at Columbus for the reason - that space would not be al lowed. .The management of the fair in refusing space to the Coast Une gave as the reason that Ohio has none too many people now and that they did not want to aid in any, way in in ducing folks to leave ... for another State. ' ' .; ;i : , After spending a - week at Dayton the exhibit was taken - on the ; "Na tion's Garden Spot!, car to . the 'West Michigan State Fair at Grand Rapids.. Mich., for a week. ; ; Iieavlng Grand Rapids the car "went next, to Detroit. Mich., where an exhibit -was made at' the East Michigan State Fair. After, exhibiting here for ' a week": the 'car was parked for another week- and then was taken, to : Springfield, TIL..: where it remained for nine, days dur-; ing the Illinois State Fair. This was the last place visited. Messrs. Clark and McCoy distrib uted 20 000 bulletins and 13,000 copies of a pamphlet telling of the "Nation's Garden Spot." A large number of peo-: pie told the. Coast Une men that from' the exhibit they were very favor ably impressed with the South and would come to this section of the country on a proepectinar trlD. Mr. Clark "ad that the South is far the best part of , the country.! especially for agriculture, as the climate Is bet ter and ' fo many more crops can be grown here than In the West. -Grain, corn and Irish potatoes are the- prin cipal crops there. Th'.s is the first time the Coast .Line ever attempted this method of acqualntlns: the people of the West with what the South has to offer an-d it is believed that, the un f'erta'klne has. been a great . success Fine remits are expected to follow.

It is the One ..absorbing topic of . conversation' that scarcely escape disiusion , wher ever -'two or three women are gath-t" ered together. . Everybody - is - talking about it. ? But you-, most of all -.are feelin gthe effects. of -it.- For you, as the manager of the housekeeping -business in every home of the; United States, are the , - ultimate consumer who does the purchasing and the PaVr ing for what your family eats and wears.':, v- V "v ' . Year by year you have- seen pric.es going up.. . Have ?you "ever found them coming down ? You paid . $20 ythfs spring for a suit that once you could have bought i for , l 0. Or .if it was only a gingham 'apron, you; paid 10 cents a yard for vshat used to be, 6 cents. ; Breakfast bacon- that once cost 10 cents a ' pound Is . now .24 ents to 28 cents, and even 30 cents. . Beef is higher than at any other time in- 45 years. , 'Even a kitchen broom once 25 cents, now costs 40 cents. ? r' : And it is the housekeeper who has to. stretch the ; weekly pay . envelope, or the ; monthly ; Balary to cover i the . high price mark; k The price t mark -goes up of all proportion to the pay envelope, -Between the years 1896 and 191Q -.the - average price of - oommodi ties rose 61 per cent and -the average price of wages not more than 20 per cent. President's Taft's dinner table represents an increase; in price over PresWnt- McKinley'a of . from. 25 to, 300 per cent for the separate articles, of food; To- meet it, the President1 got his salary raised from! $50,000 to J75.000 a year, to say. nothing of the stray $200,000. allowed for incidental. White House expenses.. But, perhaps,' you' are a housekeep er: whose husband's salary hasn'.t; so conveniently . responded ; to his family necessities. Or perhaps . you are a business wOman who earns the pay. envelope as- well as - spends"' ; it". In: either event the ost of .living Inter ests you because it touches your pock etbook : hard, -r . . v - ;A -v -v -. Do you realize that the robbers of the American home are "taking :your money away from yoti every time that you go shopping, every ' day ; as ' you go tONmarket? But they do it .through a skillful system that holds you up so that you never knojv what did it. It Is time that every rliousekeeper should realize this. - There are a good many causes that the economists talk about for this Increased cost of liv ing. And some of them-we-.'can't do anything - about right .away. tBxxt there is one fundamental cause that can be reached in November. It is the high tariff that enables the trusts to force up prices, because, the tariff keeps , foreign producers from bring ing ; goods to the American market. Now you, as a housekeeper, perhaps have thought that the tariff was whol ly a political question that concerned only politicians and the. Government at Washington. T v But you are mistaken. The tariff is your questlo more than any ; one's else.;" It is charged up in the price you pay, for nearly every commodity. There is even a tariff on your sugar Jaowl. The sugar trust Is enabled by reason of the high protective tarixr to charge a little, stover ; two; cents. pound more for sugar thaixif there were no tariff on it. This amounts in the course of a-. year, to an average ,o $ 8. 0 0 for . each Americanf , family. Perhaps. you can stand tnjs tax. But there are workihgmen's families to whom it means a week's wages;-From these : families and tyours and every body's family In the United States there is taken annually an average of 125 each In ; extra prices caused by the high tariff on the various com modities they purchase, The Democratic party wants to do something, about this tariff question. They are eager and anxious to do it. And you can help them. During the. past year when the Democratic members of Congress got bills passed lowering the tariff, the Republican President, "Mr. Taft; ve toed the bills. That Is the Republi can" way.- During all the years that the Republican . party ; has been in uower, the cost of living has contin ued to increase. (Colonel Roosevelt did nothing to lower the tariff during his two administrations when he had the chance, and the cost of living con tinued to increase. ) Surely no, wo man engaged in - this business - or housekeeping would be willing to try again the man who has already twice failed to help her reduce the expenses that are making the struggle for ex istence harder every day. No ; other candidates may talk pleasantly about lowering the cost of , living, but .there is only one candidate, who. can , be trusted to practice it when he gets to Washington. . "V; . '-' -"'-,.-'. :-; . Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic nominee, Is not only pledged to a re-i ductlon ' of the tariff, but this is a fundamental principle of the party that - he 1 represents. ; - Remember that the tariff is costing you 125 a year. You .as a house keeper need to have elected the Pres ident who will lift your burden. Then won't you use your influence toward his election? We want your name for enrollment with the Wom an's National Wilson and Marshall Organization. Won't you send it to us? We want as long a list as possi ble of -the women who . stand for Woodrow Wilson for the next Presi dent of the United States. 5 If you do, whether you are a housekeeper or a business woman,,' or a college girl, send your name at once to, the Woman's National Wilson and Mar shall Organization.
