Fesii al cf Reformation.
At Lenoir College on Sunday
evening at 7.30 a special Refor
mation service will be heJd. It
has been the custom for years t«
observe this religious festival at
the College. It is plees'ng in
deed to note the growing inter
est of the church in this impor
tant celebration. And it is safe
to predict a yet greater interest
herein for the future, for as man
kind in general grows in the ap
preciation of the work Dr. Mar
tin Luther and his ce-reformers
this annual commemoration of it
will be enlivened and strength-
Every civilized man has rea
son to feel thankful for Luther,
and much more especially every
Christian. This year's Reforma
tion service should be greater in
interest and attendance than at
any past time. It is safe to say
that perhaps much more time is
being given to preparation for it
than at any past time.
Dr. J. H. Harms, President of
Newberry College, Newberry, S.
C., will deliver the Reformation
sermon. Dr. Harms is a very
popular preacher in the South
and much in demand. The mu
sic is being worked np by Miss
L. B. Hallman and Miss E. V.
Schultz, teachers at Lenoir Col
lege. Some of the special music
to be rendered is as follows:
Eye hath us seen, The Holy
City. A. R. Gaul, Miss Schultz.
Be Not Afraid, Elijah —Men-
delosohn, chorus choir.
Solo —selected, Mrs. B. K, Pat
terson—The Son of God goes
forth to War. Double male quar
tette.
The Lenoir College Orchestra,
with Miss Hallman, pianist, will
offer several selections.

A "warm" breakfast —the kind that sends
you out ready braced for a good day's work —
should be eaten in a warm room.
You lose half the good of the meal if you are shiv
ering in discomfort while you eat it.
A Perfection Smokeless Oil Heater makes breakfast
a cosy meal for the whole family.
No smoke or smell with a Perfection. Easily cleaned. Easily
moved from room to room. An ornament anywhere; a luxury in
the bedroom; a necessity in the sewing-room or the bathroom.

Judge Councill to Mr. Jonas
Judge Councill requests the
Democrat to say as his reply to
Mr. Jonas' card in the last issue
of the Democrat that he was told
by a person whom he had no rea
son to doubt that Mr. Jonas had
sent a man to ask for a division
of time but that the man made
it convenient not to find him.
He was within proper bounds
in asking where Mr. Jonas stood,
for Roosevelt is not the nominee
of the ReDublican party, and the
Progressives repudiate the Re
publican platform. It still looks
as if Mr. Jonas is trying to ride
two horses at once.
Judge Councill acceded to a
unanimous general request of the
splendid Democracy of Lincoln
and Catawba to make the race
for the State Senate and has no
doubt of his triumphant election.
As to the senatorial race, which
is a family matter and no affair
whatever of Mr. Jonas, Judge
Councill will support the nominee
of the Democrat party.
The Judge has his own list of
appointments, but if Mr. Jona*
wishes to concel his, the Judge
will do so likewise, and make out
a new list for a joint canvass.

Wilson, Progressive
Bryan's Commoner
Read this, progressives, whether you
call yourselves democrats or republi
cans:
"My first allegiance is to the progres
sive policies to which I have openly and
solemnly dedicated every power I pos
sess. Everything else must stand asice
in the interest of the country and of
the great state of which I am governor.
I have' pointed out to you facts
and ftr-ces toward which you may per
hapSj bavegrownindu'gen;lymdifferent
jin this brighterday of New Jeisey's
■ regeneration. I .know you wi:l act
' when you are re-minded of them.
. We cau indulge|nothing when the stake
! is our country's welfare and prosperity
; and the honor of our party"*
Is that not a bugle call? How many
public men would write such a letter
at such a time? And yet' it is in line
with what he has done before. He pre
vented the election of this sarae nwn to
the senate when, ignoring the primary
election law, Smith attempted to use
his corporate connections to take the
prize away from Martine; he reftfsed to
allow Ryan to contribute to the ex
penses of his campaign for thenornina
-1 tion—branding Ryan as the national
convention did later; he insisted upon
the selection of a progressive tempor.
ary chairman to sound the keynote of
the campaign; and later he entered the
lists again to prevent the election of a
senator who, calling- himself a Demo
crat, is committed to reactionary poli
cies.
Do not these acts prove him both pro
gressive and courageous? Do they no
entitle him to the support of all pro
gressives? He is the only thotoughly j
prjgressive candidate for president.
Mr. Taft is progressive in nothing; Mr
Roosevelt is progressive in something?
and reactionary in others; Governor
Wilson is progressive in everything,
and he is growing every day.

SYMPTOMS OF CONSUMPtiOH
Yield to Vinol.
The medical profession do not be
lieve that consumption is Inherited,
but a person may inherit a weakness
or tendency to that disease.
A prominent citizen of Evansville,
Ind., writes: "I was ill for five
months with pulmonary trouole, and
had the best of doctors; I had hemorr
hages and was in a very bad way.
Through the advice of a friend'l tried
Vinol, and I feel that it saved my
life. It is all you recommend it tc
be. I believe it is the greatest medi
cine on earth. I have advised others
to try Vinol, and they have had the
same results." (Xame furnished on
request.)
Vinol soothes and heals the Inflamed
surfaces and allays the cough. Vinol
creates an appetite, strengthens the
digestive organs and gives the patient
strength to throw off incipient pulmo
nary diseases.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un-
Jerstanding that your money wi'! be
•jturned if it does not hel~> *--•* i
