Arthur Abernathy, author of '"The SHell You Say' and other quaint lit kle folk lore tales, has announced through the columns of The Greens boro Daily News, his candidacy for frthe United States senate. He is broke, dead broke, but he proposes that if The Greensboro News will print his announcement he will ;pay it in the event he is elected, and taking a gambler's chance The Xews prints it, asserting it will charge, if Jhe is successful, in the ratio of the sextreme hazard taken. Abernathy says he wants to run on a conjoint bull moose and regular plat form. He proposes to weld together incompatible elements; to cause the ' lamb to nestle in the lien's embrace; to make the goat's tail point in a hori zontal rather than a vertical direc tion. He asserts furthermore that if these two wholly irreconcilable ele ments may be caused to agree upon him, he is certain that he will beat Overman to a frazzle for two reasons. One is that he is related to half the people in North Carolina either by blood good or bad or by marriage. Abernathy is blissfully single. He is certain, then, that he can poll the solid "relatives and friends" vote. Ani to the other half he says he owe? money, and being people with good business sense, his creditors, he is cer tain, will risk a vote on him with the chance of being "paid in full." Abernathy keeps a suspense-stricken people in doubt as to his platform, but he declares it will ring true on such vital and all important subjects as woman's suffrage, the sheath gown and other fashionable as well as po litical issues. When Overman sees that announce ment he will no doubt buy a front seat in the storm cellar and wait there for the returns. Abernathy's hat is in the ring. His shoes are in the ring. His pants, his coat, and his shirt are in the ring. In fact, all that is, or that pertaineth to Arthur I. Abernathy, poet, acto:, Ecribe, philosopher, politician, may be found in the center of the ring defying consequences. Now pay us for this. NEGRO WOMAN'S HEROISM. A negro woman by the name of Liz zie Blair, who resides in Greensboro, Is in line for a Carnegie i.ero medal, bo dispatches tell us. Wednesday she was passing near the railroad track and saw two small white children playing on the track. She heard the whistle of the train, and realized that the children were ignor ant of its aproach. She was some dis tance from them, and the train was coming in full speed. She didn't stop and yell, as some people would have done. She rushed to their rescue as fast as her legs could carry her. She beat the train there by a moment Snatching one child she threw it from the track, and seizing the other one In her arms she carried it to safety 3ust as the monster engine crushed ii. . .i..,iu: p i i .... uie inaymmgs oi tne children to pieces. She saved their lives at the risk cf her own, and though her skin is black her heart is true and she deserves al the praise that is being given her, The children were unknown to her There was no reason for her act ex cept that she possessed the true spirit of heroism. Charlotte is in good hope of secur Ing one of the regional banks. Why . not: one is not quite so big but every wnit as wormy oi mis favor as Rich mond, and her location is better. Charity and Children. And we believe the location feature will be given first consideration, and that is why we think Charlotte has a good chance. An interesting report emanates from Lexington to the effect that Edi tor Varner is contemplating entering the congressional race for the seat now- held by Congressman Page. It is said that Friend Varner has been conduct ing a sort of blind tiger, or subrosa campaign among voters feeling their pulse with a straw ballot as it were, in order to ascertain if he is really wanted, and he is gratified by re- snnnsps received. All of which means a hot time in De Seventh. We trust that Varner will not mis take the signs as did the old negro who saw a heavenly vision of two shining letters "P. C." and who immediately set about to preach Christ, but who was later informed by a bored flock that "P. C." also meant plow corn. Reveling in the ecstacies of Durham ozone, the editor of The Sun puts on paper the thrills cavorting in his bosom as he gazed upon Trinity church steeple: 'Trinity steeple looked as if it were a fountain pen ready to write a sen tence upon the ethereal blue of the sky, 215 feet above us. With the ethereal blue sky only 215 feet above Durham it is no wonder that her citizens are subject to strange fits of mental transfiguration. Huerta says he intends to "die with his boots on." Is he planning to ruu himself to death? It is said that General Villa can neither read nor write, but he can make signs. i.".--ii--..-'. -.".-,ev vi--i"ir-A"i--A-'A --a- '.-?- S From Other Sanctums ! Effect of Prohibition. In North Carolina there still ex ist a few biased, pessimistic anti prohibitionists who claim that prohi bition under the present state laws does no good and that there is as much liquor drunk as there was before The state went dry. This of course is ab surd to any reasonable, thinking man, especially when it is seldom a drunk man is to be seen. Last week the ed itor of The Enterprise was in, conver sation with Capt. Claude Morrison, a conductor for the Southern Railway, and who has run out of Charlotte by Mooresville for the last twenty-eight years, and among other interesting topics that of "drinking" was broach ed. Captain Morrison stated that for he past twenty-five years he has run his iiain out of Charlotte consecutive- y on Christmas, and for the first time urbii all those years at Chrstnias timet last year was the first one to pass when he had hauled pass3iist?r3 nat showed no evidence of strong driiiii. He says the state has brought asout conditions that make railroai- ng for the passenger conductors a great rie-isure now, whereas during the days of f.uoons the drunks that usualy got abefifd trains caused trouble and iin- o'nc.o a in u ii iue inuiuau men ns Y as among passengers.

And now the boys and girls are to be taught not only how to raise eggs and poultry, but also how to market these invaluable products. The Amer ican hen may truly be termed an in stitution, for she and her much prized egg represent now something like $600,000,000 a year in the United States, and besides our own products of this character there are large im portations from Canada to meet the tremendous and growing demand. The United States agricultural de partment, which is fully co-operating with the state, is going to show the oest methods of raising poultry and ggs and putting both on the mar ket. Catawba county leads all the state in its development of unity of effort on the part of farmers in producing cream, butter, eggs and poultry and n marketing these, through an asso ciation formed on such excellent lines that it has been copied :n various parts of the country. Marketing in a proper way is as mportant as production, for sensible and up-to-date placing of products on the market lies largely in avoidance TIDC rrrT LU rtti II CUED FOR IZ Let your sore, swollen, sweaty feet spread out in a bath of "TIZ."

(Charleston Post.) It looks as if Mr. Henry M. Pindell, of Peoria, 111., is to have his year in Russia at the expense of the United States and to the glory of his poster ity. The senate committee on foreign relations has agreed to report favor ably his nomination as ambassador to the court of Czar Nicholas, after a full investigation of all the circumstances-attendant upon it, including the letter that was not written by Senator James Hamilton Lewis and the letter that was written by Mr. Pindell, to Congressman Stone, of the Peoria district. The correspond ence, spurious and genuine, was dis cussed verv freelv bv the members of the senatn committee and the opinion is eaid to have prevailed that it added nothing to the dignity or prestige of the candidate for ambassa dorial honors. It is said that Senator Bacon, of Georgia, chairman of the committee and a staunch democrat, was one of those who criticized ad versely the nomination of Mr. Pin dell. The conclusion reached by the committee to report the nomination favorably i said to have been arnv ed at bv a process of reasoning not particularly creditable to the sena tors. It is stated that they determm ed that, while the nomination was not a desirable one, still, if the pres ident. in full knowledge of the facts, wan willing to have as his personal representative at a foreign court a man of the type of Mr. Pindell, the responsibility would be left with him. Certainly the country is entitled to look for better service from the sen ators in the matter of confirmation of appointments than that. Mr. Pindell, it seems, wants the place as ambassador for a limited period only, and has been urged to take it for a year in order that he may carry through life and pass to his children the dignityof having rep resented his country at the capital of a first-class power. Meantime so runs the tale, at any rate he is to have nothing, serious to do in the diplomatic line, as the state depart ment w-ill see to it that no import ant questions are brought upon the carpet between this country and Rus sia during his incumbency. That will be Mr. Bryan'e part of the business, and not a very difficult one, either Mr. Bryan himself is so busy witn other than official duties that he is hardly likely to 6tart anything re quiring serious attention by the for eign representatives of the United States. At the end of a year Mr. Pin dell ii to come home and resume the work of running his newspaper, while the president will find a first-class representative of the country to send to the czar s court. It is a conven ient program for Mr. Pindell and doubtless a satisfactory one to Mr Bryan and to Senator Lewis and to the rest of Mr. Pindell's sponsors The president must feel, however that he has been rather badly served in the matter by thorse who should have been more jealous of the posi tion of the administration, and though circumstances have caused him to accept and to make the best of the situation it is hardly to be believed that he takes much satisfac tion from the business, and when he chooses a successor to Mr. Pindell he will very probably choose by his own standards of fitness rather than by those of others. WHAT IS OLD AGE? Some Younger at 65 Than Others Are at 40 Years. Old age is not marked by years but by the stiffened frame, the hard ened tissues and arteries. So many people whom you meet about the time they reach 40 begin by saying "I can't do this, and can't do that, because I'm getting old and they are older in appearance than many who are much -more advanced in years. When you begin to feel old, when 3'our energy begins to fail build your self up with our delicious cod liver and iron tonic, Vinol. It is a won derful blood-maker and strengthener H. C. Klyce of Corinth, Miss., says "I am 75 years old and my blood was very poor. I was in a run-dow condition and felt that I must have tonic. Vinol was recommended and it built up my strength until I felt as strong and well as ever." Thousands of old people have found in Vinol just the medicine they need to build up the feeble, weakened sys tem and create strength. If it fails, we will return your money. R. H.

There was a little boy who began to keep a diary. His first entry was: "Got up this mornine at 7 o'clock." He show ed the entry to his mother, and she, horror-stricken, said: "Have you been to school? Got up, indeed! such an expression! Does the sun get up? No, it rises." And she scratched out "Got up at 7 and wrote "Rose at 7," in its place. That night the boy, before retiring, ended the entry for the day with the sentence: "Set at 9 o'clock." MAKING BOTH ENDS MEET.
