In discussing the political sit uation in the various Congress ional districts, Mr. H. E. C. Bry ant, popularly known as *lled Buck" writes interestingly in a recent issue of the Ch: rlotte Ob s ?rver. While there is a certain ty, according to his ideas, that Congressman MVebb will have some lively opposition "* in the Congressional nominating con vention. several of the candidates coming from Bryant's own coun ty, Mecklenburg, he unhesitat ingly picks our present able and useful Representative Hon. E. Y. Webb as the winner in the contest, and we entirely agree with him. Mr. Webb has been of real service to his district—he is honest/ capable, intelligent, and has at all times measured up to the expectations of his consti tuents by doing things, and we a&ain exDress hearty accord with the viewstf A. J. Parker Which appeared in our last issue, and with him agree that frequent changes are to be deplored. But read what R?d Buck says: "The ninth is looming up. Mr. Webb is going to have opposi tion. W. C. Dowd, of Mecklen burg has lead friends to believe that he would run. If he does Mecklenburg will have two or more candidates in the conven tion, The names of J. D. Mc- Call and W. C. Maxwell are be ing used in this connection. There is another man who has almost regained his old time popularity by several recent legal battles; that is Judge F. I. Osborne. Some of his ardent admirers would have him enter th* -race. t The county of the decendants of the signers can always be counted on to do the extraordinary thing. Its citizenry ljkes not a dull thiag. Judge W. B. Council of Hick ory will be in the thick of the fight. He will not ask for a re nomination. Mr. Isaac Avery, of Burke, is said to be in a recep tive mood. The ninth is full of promise, with the odds in favor of Mr. Webb. So long as Gaston and Cleveland stand shoulder to shoulder and Mecklenburg con tinues to remember the differen ces of fifty years ago Mr. Webb, has a cinch. The Republicans if they act wiselv, which they rare ly ever do in North Carolina, may give him some trouble. — From the Cleveland Star. The tribulations of an editor are varied and harassing. The Hedesicktown, (0) Free Press puts it this way. "Last week a man stepped up and said he would pay us every cent/that he owed us if he lived until Satur day night. We presume the man died. Hnother man said he would pay us in a day or two as sure as we were born. Query—Did the man lie or were we never born? Another said he would settle as sure as shooting. We presume that shooting is very uncertain. Another man said he hoped to go to the devil if he did not pay us within three days. Haven't seen him since. Suppose he has gone, but trust he did not hope in vain. Quite a number said they would see us tomorrow. They must have been stricken blind or to morrow hasn't come yet. One man told us six months ago he would pay us as soon as he got the money. The man would not lie, of course. He has not had a ■cent since." A number have promised us recently they would sure pay as soon as they sold their cotton. Guess they are waiting to get SI.OO per pound for it. Take PrecauLions.

Ail Druggists. , THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1909. Bible Still The Popular Book. The publication of nearly 19, 000,000 copies of the Bible each year and the steady increase of the circulation of this holy book in the United States are encour aging signs of the times. These facts we gather from the report of the American Bible Society for 1909. This society, of which Mr. Daniel C. Gilman,. of Ihis city, was president at the time of his death, has in its lists of Bibles in no less than 83 langua ges and dialects. It issued dur ing the last year 2,153,028 vol umes. Its agents are in all lands. It has its Colporteurs going from house to house, carrying the Word of Life among the snows of the Arctic regions and on the burning sands of the tropics. Its receipts during the year were 607,132,35 and its disbursements about the same. It urgently needs funds for its great work. In explaining its pressure for money the report says: Take, for instance, the case of the vast empire of China, with a popula tion amounting to one-fourth of the whole globe. Opportunities for Bible distribution have in creased to a degree never before known. Multitud s of people are clamoring for the printed Gospel." Then, too, Mrs. Rus sell Sage offered a gift of $500,- 000 in endowment, provided a like sum should be collected by the end of the year 1908. The time limit was extended to De cember 31.1909. Up to March 31, of this year, £140,803 of the half million had been pledged, and all friends of the society are urged to help to raise the re mainder &y the end of the year. The work of the three great Bible societies—American, Brit ish and Scottish—is not merely a religious work. It is P work of civilization of the world has pro gressed almost along with the spread of the Bible. Its pages give to men their only assurance of "the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come." "To him, therefore, who sees in reliance on God the stay of human life," says* a re cent writer, "the Bible will be the book of the human race." "The Bible," said Charles Kingsley, "contains no mere hu man science no mere secular knowledge, but it is the textbook in which is contained the highest of all sciences—the knowledge of God. It contains eternal life for every humble, faithful stu dent of its sacred pages." - A glory gilds the saced page, Majestic like the sun, It gives a light to every age — It gives, but borrow none. Baltimore Sun, Accidents will happen, but the best regulated families keep Dr. Thoma's Electric Oil for such emergencies. It subdues the pain and heals the hurt. Black Hand at Canton. W. T. Sharpe, a wealthy man in Canton, Haywood county, has been scared pretty badly endur ing of sometime past bv a "black hand" letter which said that un less he deposited SI,OOO in bills under the corner of a certain church before 11 o'clock last Fri day night, he would be killed by dynamite, and perhaps hi 3 fami ly also. He arranged with de tectives to watch while he hid the money, but his nerve gave way and his blundering doubtless prevented the capture of the "black hands." He was so fright ened when he went to place the bogus package of money prepar ed that he carried with him SIOOO in money in case he ran on the thieves and be called on for the thousand or his life. Efforts will be made to chase any black hand minded persons out of the com munity. A healthy man is a king in his own right; an unhealthy man is an unhappy slave. Burdock Blood Bitters builds up sound health —keeps you well. Raleigh Notes The Southern Textile Associa tion which meets at the College next week, has arranged the fol io wing programme: "Humidifying Textile Mills," W. P. Hozhwood, Atlanta, Ga. "Care of.operatoryhealth," H. S. Winslow, Clinton, S. C. "The card room," H. N. Lan don, Charlotte, N. C. "Future of the spinning fame," T. F. Cuddy, Chi, S. C. "Weaving as a skilled opera tion," Wm. Nelson, Neuse, N. C. While this body is here the member., v/ill inspect the Textile Department of the collfge and will also visit all the other de partments. From two to three hundred are expected to attend. Rev. I. McK. Pittinger, rector of the church of the Good Shep herd, has been conducting morn service at the college for the past week. Wednesday of fair week the four companies of the college battation will take part in a com petitive drill on the fair grounds. The winning company is each year awarded a flag. The com panies are drilling daily with sharp emulation. The college exhibit at the fair will occupy one whole side of the east wing of Floral Hall. The Agricultural Department, the Engineering Department, and the Textile scho®l- will furnish most of the exhibits. Prof. W. F. Massey, formerly Professor of Horticulture in the college and one of the best known agricultural writers in the South, was a visitor at the college this week; and on Friday morning made the students a Short ad dress after chapel services. Dr. G. A. Roberts, of the Vet erinary Department, was one of the judges of live stock at- the Hickory Live Stock Fair the 12th. Early in November the college will have as its guests twelve hundred leading farmers from all over the union. These far mers are members of the Far mers National Convention which will meet in Pullen Hall. Among the speakers will be some of the foremost men in the country. Prof. Arny last weuk took the class in Live Stock to the State Fair in Richmond to take part in the judging of the five annuals always exhibited there. The beef cattle there are always a source of much interest to this class. The Press, The Farmer's Best Friend. In a public meeting in Alaba ma recently, a member of the Farmer's Union spoke right out and told to his audience who he considered the farmers best fri end and gave «ome wholesome advice. Said he: ' 'As a rule the farmer has no firmer friend than the press. The home paper is distinctly the far mer's own paper, supported di rectly by farmers who compose the backbone of the subscription list of the printer and largely for what the enterprising mer chant advertises. Now brother, let us not forget to see that our subscription is paid a year in ad vance. We can do it. * "The man or paper that fights my battles shall have my sup port. Another thing, the mer chants advertising are the ones that make it pos- ible for us to get a good home paper. The man or local firm that is too pen urious to advertise and help sup port the local press has no right to the farmer's patronage. "I promise hereafter to go to the live advertisers and the man wno doss his share supporting the local press, thus contributing to my support, rather than buy of*a man who proposes to take all—give nothing back. If far mer's as a class would support their friends, the other fellow would soon go out of business," —The Times, Florence, Ala.
