The Democrat has reeeivec the 1912 new; paper director* issued by N. W. Ayer & Son, oi Philadelphia. It is a huge voi eme of 1414 pages, and givt the circulation of 24,345 publ cations in the United States an Canada. There appears to be a ten dency toward the lessening o the number'of small dailies. It is an herculean task t gather the information neces sary to make a fairly accurate annual. The. postal matter used in the preparation of the 1912 edition included 33.800 two cent stamps, about 28.000 stamped return envelopes, 8,000 stamped wrappers, 500 single postal cards. 5,000 double postal cards, about 2,000 Canadian stamps and sun dry West Indian, Cuban and other stamps. These stamp® and cards were used so'ely foj the work of revision, and do not include any of t';Ose used in sea ling the Annuai, or in connec tion with the advertising in it, these being matters entirelj outside the province of the de partment having charge of thf editorial work on the book. The Democrats average cir culation is 1650 copies. There were 700 names in the Demo crat's books when the present editor took charge. Of these about 200 were quickly cut off. so that the increase under thf present management, in two years, has been gratifying. The Annual Directory like wise presents a vast amount of up-to-date gazetteer informatior showing the transportation, bank ing and other facilities of every town in which a newspaper if published, together with refer ences to its leading industries and characteristics. This fea ture is supplemented by a special ly prepared map of each state, showing every newspaper town. Convenience and have been carefully stuaiec throughout, and the book at the disposal of puVishers, ol advertisers, of buisness men, students, librarians, etc., a vast amount of fresh information not to be procured e'sewhere. LUTHERAN LAYMEN] 'S CONVENTION. The Lutheran laymen's con vention in Salisbury mightily stirred the hearts of all those who attended. The program with it* 34 speakers during a period of three days was a magnificent one, and marked its maker, Rev. E. C. Cronk, as a genius. Mis sionary information was force fully presented and the inspira tion was great. Catawba county as a strategic centre of Luth eranism sent a large delegation and will doubtless feel the uplift for years to come. FIRE WASTE The distressing fire of a few days ago should make people careful. Insurance Commis sioner Jas. K. Young recently sent out this statement: The fire losses in North Caro lina amount annually to prac tically $1,500,000, or $4,000, a day. It is accepted as true that by the exercise of ordinary £are two-thirds of thes fires could be prevented—a saeing to the citi zens of North Carolina of sl,ooot -000 a year, or over $2,500 a day. • By my count last year 21 per sons lost their lives by fire in North Carolina; and already, with only a few days of the new yjir gone,l have seen all of three death from this cause. Is not the saving of 14 or 15 lives worth our while, to say nothing of a million of dollars in proper ty? In the above figures no ac count is taken of the cost to our cities and towns of fire depart- ments and their maintenance. To add this would ioerease the imount to at least the value of i!l buildings erected in the State during the ywr. vir. McKesson's Word For Prohibition.

HOW OU9PEOPLE May Prolong Their Lives At an advanced if* waste is mon rapid than repair. The organs act more slowly and less effectually than In youth. The circulation Is poor, tho blood thin and watery, the appetite poor and digestion weak. We want to say to every aged per son In this vicinity that Vlnol, our de liciouß cod Hrer and iron tonic (with out oil) will prolong life. It creates an appetite, aids digestion and mat— good blood. In this natural manner Vinol retards waste and replaces weakness with strength, giving new life to the worn system. If people In this vicinity only real ized how Vlnol Invigorates old people we would not he able to supply the demand. Try a bottle of Vlnol with the un derstanding that your money will be returned If it does not help you. Foraale by Mmr and Luta Drug store. 1 Corn tilub Prixe.

SEVEN YEARS GF MISERY How Mrs. Bethune was Re stored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound. - "For seven years I ig. I was in bed for four or five days at a time every month, and so weak I could hardly walk. I had cramps, backache and headache, and was so nervous and weak that I dreaded to see anyone or have anyone move in the room. The doc- Sikeston, Mo. - suffered everythi: tors gave me medi- cine to ease me at those times, and said that I ought to have an operation. I would not listen to that, and when a friend of my husband's told him about Lydia E. Finkham's Veg etable Compound and what it had done for his wife, I was willing to take it. Now I look the picture of health and feel like it, too. I can do all my own house work, work in the garden and entertair. company and enjoy them, and can walk 'is far as any ordinary woman, any dav in the week. I wish I could talk to ever suffering woman and girl, and tell their what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me."—Mrs. DEMA BSTHUNE, Sikeston, Mo. Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It has helped thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irreg ularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means have failed.
