Those who expect the Republi can Party in North Corolina to take a stand against prohibition or indeed, to take any positive stand whatever will be woefully disappointed. Some of the strongest Republican counties in the state are among the strong est prohibition, counties, notably Mitchell and Madison. The Re publican party will not dare to offend their voters in the few sections of the State where they have a large white following. "On the side," wherever their . political leaders can find a dis satisfied Democrat they will preach to him that the Republi can party opposes prohibition and then go off and laugh in their sleeves about how they "fooled that guy." Everything will be grist that comes to their mill. In one sense of the term they fully understand how to be ' 'all things to all men." Mr. Kitchin Coming. Hon. W. W. Kitchin, candi date for the Democratic nomina tion for governor, will be in Hickory on Tuesday Mar. 17th and will address the people that night. Mr. Kitchin will receive of course a warm welcome from our people, regardless of their preferences for governor. Hick ory's hospitality is well known and in the case of a distinguish ed visitor like Mr. Kitchin, who is recognized among the ablest men in congress, this town may be expected to "put the best foot foremost." Those who hear Kitchin will hear a public speaker of convincing force and power and will have no occasion to regret being present. Rutherford College Note.

The site suggested by our peo ple is as desirable as could be found and the large and liberal contribution now offered by our people should, it seems to us, command the attention and the favorable consideration of those who have this matter in hand. In natural advantages we think that this town has superior claims to all others and now that our people have shown them selves willing to "put up the price" we say bring tne orphan age to Hickory.

Dear Sir: Here's another problem of those arithmetic and algebra scholars: If Dovoe is worth $1.75 a gallon, and spreads a hall further than average paint, and wears twice as long, what is average paint worth a gallon put-on painters' wages being $3.50 a day and a day's work a gallon «f paint. The answer is minus $1.75 a gallon. That is : you could afford to paint with average paint if somebody gives it to you and pays half the painters' wages. Yours truly, 44 F. W. DEVOE & CO. P. S.—F. B.

SKIN DISEASES There is an evaporation from the body going on continually, day and night, through the pores and glands of the skin. This is nature's way of maintaining the proper temperature of our systems and preserving the soft ness and flexibility of the skin, and so long as the blood is free from impur ities no trouble will result. When, however, the blood fpom any cause becomes infected with humors and acids, these too must be expelled, and coming in contact with the delicate fibres and tissues with which the skin is so abundantly supplied they produce irritation and inflammation, and the effect is shown by Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and skin affections of various kinds. These impurities and humors get into the blood through a deranged or inactive condition of the system ; the members whose dutv it is to carry off the waste and refuse matter of the body fail to properly perform their work, and this impure, fermenting matter is left in the system to be absorbed by the blood. The skin is not only affected by poisons generated within the System, but poisons from Without, such as Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, V. . __ e . .. „ Nettle Rash, etc., enter through the f „ open pores and glands, and SO thor- entirely relieved me of a form of Eczema oughlydo they become rooted in the which m T doctor «u unable to cure.
