Elliott a pamplet contain ing an act of the Legislature en titled "A Bill to be Entitled, An Act Giving the People Power to Name Their Candidates for Of fice." This bill if passed will do much eoward purifying our poli tical elections. It simply pro vides for a legalized primary for the whole State. We make our best bow to Bro. iH. C.

No Place Like Home What's the use, young man, old man, or any otaer mon, in going West, when we have right here the finest country in the world? Women take notice! Th re seems to be a dispen tion on the part of some of our pepple to throw up fairly good homes and surroundihgs, better prospects, friends and relatives and all that is near and dear, just to take a chance at the West where it is certain there will be in the new and undeveloped regions at last, nothing but hard ships and year? of hard work be fype anything like comfort equal to that enjoyed here can or will be realized. Women especially will have to suffer hardships as there is no help ana no conveniences in the undeveloped West; besides a great number of the women go ing from this country to the West never live to return, to their native Irnd in the Ssuth. Mr. R. 0. Alexander of Char lotte who has been all through the west says. "I only wish some means of warning our people against going west, could be brought about in time to prevent these who contemplate removing this winter or in the early spring." Continuing he says "As a mat ter of fact the place for folks to go who are anxious to move with the hope of bettering their con dition, is anywhere but in the new west," and adds, "the best country for a North Carolina farmer is is his own State." So we wish to sound a note of warning for those who contem- 1 plate making this great sacrifice as indeed it is a sacrifice to many and in more ways than one— th'nk twice before taking what may prove a fatal step. Women! Dissuade your No doubt you are having a rough road to travel as most women do, but you might have worse. Out in wild west they haveftt even a rough road but trails and un inhabited plains —yoing deserts as it were, and you will be the chief sufferer. Be content with even half "well enough" stay at home with your friends and dear ones. There is a big future before us This country will be sought for more than the west, within th'. next few years. If you have a home freeze to it—may be it's a humble one, no matter freeze the closer to it —its a home and a home if any kind is a treasure, the value of which cannot be reckoned in dollars and cents. Be content, therein lies the, secret of happiness. If there is a shorter road to happiness it is the sunshine route. Scatter sun shine first in your own home, then scatter it among your neighbors. Try it and see if you aren't happier. Get the "happy habit" and pass it along the line. Stay in "God's Coun try," love it. talk it, boost it and you will get well of wanting to go West. Gillie Wilbert. Fun! Fun!! Fun!!! Let* no in nocent man escape.

The "Favorite Prescript tion'' has proven a great boon to expectant mothers by preparing tho system for the coining of baby, thereby rendering ehild blrth safe, easy, and almost painless. Bear in mind, please that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is not a secret or patent medicine, against which the most intelligent people are quite naturally averse, because of the uncertainty as to their composition and harmless character, but is a MEDICINE OF KNOWN COMPOSI TION, a full list of all its ingredients being printed, in plain English, on every bottle wrapper. An examination of this list of ingredients will disclose the fact that it is non-alcoholic in its composition, chemic ally pure, triple-refined glycerine taking the place of the commonly used alcohol, in its make-up. In this connection It may not be out of place to state that the "Favorite Prescription " of Dr. Pierce is the only medicine put up for the cure of woman's peculiar weaknesses and ail ments, ana sold through druggists, all the ingredients of which have the un animous endorsement of all the leading medical writers and teachers of all the several schools of practice, and that too as remedies for the ailments for which "Favorite Prei>crlptton " is recommended.

Next week fashionable Flora was "coming out," and her proud mamma was so excited over the fact that she proclaimed it, metaphorically speaking, from the housetops. Even the charwoman had it "You will be pleased to hear, Mrs. Moore," said proud mamma, "that Flo ra 'comes out' next week." "Well, mum," replied the worthy washer, "1 am pleased. An' so does my husband! How long did Miss Flo ra get? William got six months!"— London Scraps. Bring your job printing to the Democrat office for good work. The Revolution's Darkest Hour. Of Washington crossing the Dela ware on Christmas night, 1776, a his torian has written: "That was the darkest hour of the Revolution. The American army was rapidly dwindling away, poverty was staring congress in the face, and the forces of the king, supplied with all necessary comforts, were flushed with victory. In those circumstances Wash ington executed a movement of the highest military skill. In the dead of a winter's night he transported his army, with its baggage and artillery, across the Delaware unpercelved and almost in the presence of the enemy. From his position at Princeton he compelled the British to abandon their operations In New Jersey and withdraw to New York." Does the Baby Thrive If not, something must be wrong with its food. If the mother's milk doesn't nourish it, she needs Scott's Emulsion. - ,It supplies the elements of fat required for the baby. If baby is not nourished by its artificial food, then it requires SCOTT'S EMULSION Half a teaspoonfu! three or four times a day in its bottle will have the desired effect. It seems to have a magical effect upon babies and children. A fifty-cent bottle will prove the truth of our statements.
