HCKORY, N. C. JUNE 20, 1912. A PIONEER OF THE AIR. "My business is flying, no teaching," said Wilbur Wrigh when thev offered him the chai of aeronautics in the College oi France, after having decorate* him with the Legion of Honor. Wright was the greatest bird man of the age—a pioneer of th« air. He died the other day ii his quiet little home in Dayton, Ohio, a victim to the needles disease of typhoid fever. He anc his brother Orville developed the heavier than air flying machine. They were quiet, modest men, and did not seem to realize that they had attained to the front rank of 20th century scientists. Perhaps their failure to blow their own horn is the reason Americans have not yet realized the fact. Our old boss man on the Charlotte Odserver, J. P. Cald well, had an unfailing faith ii the eventual success of the fly ing machine. He had a lot oi fun in his defence of flying witl the skeptics of his day, but h( was always serious in his faill in the conquest of the air ever when discussing it in a vein of , levity and frolicsomeness. He lived to see the day when the pioneer masters of tne science, the Wright boys, chose the un frequented sand dunes of Kitt> Hawk on the North Carolina coast for 'the trying out of then latest models. There less than half a year ago Wilbur carried his machine up and remainet poised in the air for a few mo ments, as a bird often doe? Wright was one of the greates of contemporary Americans. A FARMER FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. It was a piece of good judg ment, as well as an act of jus tice, in the Democratic State Convention to put a farmer in so prominent a place on the tick et as Lieutenant Governor. Mr. Daughtridge, of Edgecombe, was virtually a beaten man, aftei the second ballot, but for Cataw ba and Burke. Both were t - wards the head of the alphabet of the counties, and when, cn the third ballot, Burke flung hirr 9 and Catawba 13 —their solid votes —his stock rose, and othei counties began to fall in line. W. J. Shuford and W. A. Self seemed to be the leaders in the Catawba delegation, and W, C. Ervin and A. C, Avery, Jr., in the Burke delegation, in working for the former candidate. Daughtridge quickly saw where his friends were and came ovei to where the Catawba and Burke placards were, remaining here till the end of the balloting. He made a very neat speech of t hanks for the honor, showing that a farmer can talk as well as plow. He is a giant physically, a man of fine presence and will no doubt be just as able to pull the bell cord over a bunch of quarreling lawyers in the State Senate a over a pair of mules on his Edge comb plantation, from which he has supported his family of sev en children. WILSON SENTIMENT GROWS. Gov, Wilson wrote sometime ago to a friend in this State that on account of his happy former associations with North Carolina, he hoped that the State would give him its support. We are glad that his wishes were grati fied, and the best stroke made by the recent State convention was its endorsement of Wilson, which, with Minnesota's endorse ment of the day before, puts him in the lead for the presiden tial nomination at Baltimore on the 25th. He will then have on the first baliot 366 votes, Clark will come next with 349, then Underwood 86, Harmon 35, Foss 39, Baldwin 14, Marshall 30, Burke 10, with 142 uninstructed and 6 contested. The New- York World, the Philadelphia Record, the Rich mond Times Dispatch and the Charlotte Observer are highly influential newspapers which have recently come out for Wil son, and the sentiment is increas ing that he is the logical man for the nomination. The betting, an unmoral but accurate gauge, is in his favor. NO LIQUOR EVEN for SNAKE BITES. Charlotte's aldermen have re fused liquor licenses to any drug store after July 1, and have re quired all clubs to give bond in the sum of $5,000. to be signed by three responsible parties, same to be forfeited if the club is convicted of selling liquor il egally. This will break up the miserable pest holes that have | cursed Charlotte. The drug stores may not even handle liquor for prescriptions. This plan has worked well in Statesville and there have actual, ly been no deaths there by reason of failure to use liquor as a med icine. Charlotte is taking the right step to have prohibition that will prohibit. HARRIS AND THE OBSERVER. i 1 To the editorship of the Ob server Wade H. Harris will bring the ideals and methods of J. P. Caldwell, and the editorial page will regain some of its old flavor. Harris knows North Car olina and her traditions, and this is a very needful thing in an ed itor. His trend of mind was long ago attuned to the plow point and the anvil hammer. We hope he will bring to the Ob server that judicious cream skimming of the Scate weeklies, which ornamented the Chronicle. Hail and good day, Wade. Al ready you put us in mind of old times. WILL THEY TAKE IT? The fact that Mr. John Bar ringer, of Newton, after selling S2OOO worth of sweet potato slips had to return checks for S6OO worth in addition, ought to give Catawba farmers a strong hint. We have got the man nomi nated for Governor we have been wanting for some four odd years. Craig will make one of the best governors North Carolina ever had, and we are pleased to hear chat he has said he intends to be the agricultural governor, Elisha, the son of Shaphat, was called from the plow to the pro pht's office. Elisha, the son of Daughtridge, will be called from the plow to preside over the Stat Senate before the farmers of the State get through with him. « r Truly death is a democratic monster, and is no respecter oi persons. When the King of Denmark, traveling incognita, fell dead on the streets of Ham burg, a policeman took the body to the morgue. You might almost say that Watt Shuford sent Daughtridg the nomination for Lieutenant Governor in a can of Catawba county butter milk. The State Normal. We desire to call attention to the advertisement of the State Normal and Industrial College which appears in this issue. Every year shows a steady growth in this institution devoted to the higher education of the women of North Carolina. Including the Training School, the College last year had a total enrollment of 905 students. Ninety-one of the one hundred counties of the State had rep resentatives in the student body. Nine-tenths of all the gradnates of this institution have taught or are now teaching in the schools of North Carolina. The dormitories are furnished by the State and board is pro vided at actual cost, Two hun dred appointments with free tuition, apportioned among sey eral counties according to school population, will be awarded to applicants about the middle of July. Students who wish to at tend this institution next year should make application as early as possible, as the capacity of the dormitories is limited. Obituary.

Statements That May Be In vestigated. Testimony of Hickory Citizens. When a Hickory citizen comes to the front, telling his friends and neighbors of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. The statements of people residing in far away places do not command your confidence. Home endorsement is the kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes timony is convincing. Investigation proves it true. Below is a statement of a Hickory resident. No stronger proof of merit can be had. Mrs. J. W. Neil, 423 Tenth Ave , Hickory, N. C., says: "No remedy could be better than Dean's Pills and I willingly praise them again as I did some time ago when I gave a public statement recommending them. My back ached and there were pains across my loins. My kidneys did not act regularly and I felt miserable. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Moser & Lutz's Drug Store acted as a tonic to my entire system and made me strong and well.'' For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Memory Vers.s, 37, 38 or 40—Goldon Text, I Tim, i, 15, R. V.-Comm.ntary Proparod by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This anointing of Jesus by a penitent woman is recorded only by Luke. There is another anointing later in His ministry which is recorded by Mat thew. Mark aud Johu. but not by Luke. That was at Bethany, and Mary, the sister of Martha, anointed Him for his burial. This was probably at Naiu. and the name of the woman is not given. Both anointings were in the Louses of men called Simon, but the one is called Simon the Pharisee and the other Simon the leper. In to day's lesson the woman washed His feet with penitential tears, wiped them with her hair, kissed them and anoint ed them. At Bethany Mary anointed His head as well as His feet, but there is no record of her washing them. They are manifestly two wholly dif ferent incidents at different times and In different places, but Jesus Christ Himself is the center in each, as He is in all the Bible, and everywhere and at all times revealing God the Father. In our lesson He is in the house of one who knew Him not nor treated Him with common courtesj, as we learn from the words of Jesus in verses 44- 45, "Thou gavest me uo water for my feet; thou gavest me no kiss; my head with oil thou didst not anoint." At Bethany He was in the house of those who loved him. This Pharisee remiuds us of the one in chapter xviii. 11. 12. and in verse 30 of our lesson chapter we read that "the Pharisees aud lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves." In chapter xvi. 14, it is said that the Pharisees derided Him and His teaching. He went wherever He could do good and heal a sin sick soul or a diseased body, never thinking of Himself or of Ilis unkind treatment by others. He did not hesitate to touch the world in any form for its good, but He was as separate from it as light from darkness. He came to save sin ners. to seek and to save the lost. aud. inasmuch as He Himself said. "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repeuteth" (Luke xv, 20). He was no doubt full of joy when He found any one like this woman, or the woman of Samaria, or Nicodemus. or Zaceheus, or the pen!-: | tent thief, willing to be saved. Per \ haps she had heard His "Come unto me" or His words to another, "Daugh- I ter, be of good comfort; thy faith huth : made thee whole" (Matt. xi. 28; ix, 22). Somehow had heard and believed and had wasted her opportunity to ' thank Ilim. Now it had come within her reach, nnjrt she hastened to do all that was in her heart It mattered not to her that the house was that of Simon the Pharisee; she was not think ing of either Simon or his house, but of just one person who had made her blind to all but Himself. She knew her sin better than Simon did, aud so did He to whom she had now come. How unusual such tears and such de votion, and how refreshing all must have been to Him. She washed His feet with her tears, but He had washed her soul by His precious blood, soon ( to be shed for her. See her humility, at His feet behind Him; see her contri tion, weeping over His feet and think ing how her own had wandered. Some one has said that the essence of her heart was distilled to bathe His feet aud the glory of her head unbound to furnish Him with a towel. Had she kingdoms to give they would have been laid at His feet but she did her best, and He accepted. She did not send by another. She rendered per sonal gratitpde. She was so occupied with Him that Simon's frowns were nothing to her. There Is no record of a word she uttered; but, oh, how the tears, the disheveled hair, the precious ointment, did talk for her! She had no thought of calling any one's attention feo her; she cared for no one's opinion: she was endeavoring to thank Him. He accepted her gratitude, He looked at her, He took her part, He spoke to her and said t© her, "Thy sins are for given; they faith hath saved thee; go in peace" (verses 4S. 50). Her name we know not. but it is written In heaven (Luke x, 20). May the joy of sins for given be a reality to us and a whole souled devotion to Him be seen in our daily lives. Simon thought that he knew her, bu£..tbat Jesus did not know her, whereas Jesus knew both of them as they did not know themselves. H* 1 would have saved Simon as readily as He did the woman if Simon had con fessed himself a sinner, but there is neither salvation nor a Saviour for self righteous people. He came not to call the righteous, those who think they are righteous, but for all who know themselves sinners and bankrupt there is salvation. Many wbo are called Christians seem never to have been forgiven much, for there Is no devo tion to Him tn their lives. How very different the devotion of this one. or the woman of Samaria, or Paul, or Peter, or John! Why are we not con strained by such love as His? Do we know Him? On the special occasion of my re cent attendance as commissioner to the General Assembly oi the Presby terian Church at Nashville, I was taken with a severe dysentery, accompanied bv great pain. Two doses of Dr King's Dysentery and Diarrhoea Cor dial gave me permanent relief and en abled me to be in regular attendance and participate in the leading move ments of that body. JOHN W.
