The Lincoln County News. Issued MONDAY AND THURSDAY JOHN T. PERKINS. Editor and Proprietor. Entered lecond flam matter December SI (908, at (he font oiBoe it Lincolnton, N. (J., UDder tot of Cougrew of Marob 1, 1879. Monday Afternoon, May 1, 1916 DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN TION. The large attendance on the State Democratic State Convention in Ral eigh last week was a surprise to many, but an agreeable one. It had been expected by party leaders that the crowd would be small on account of there being no contests in the conven tion' for nominations. The unterrified Democracy of the state was there from every quarter, and it was harmony and good feeling that prevailed, and all were confident of success in November, State Chair '" man Wr.rren predicting that the Dem ocrats would win with the state tick et by 50,000 majority. . The State platform adopted by the convention declares that "so long as the Democratic party is in power, the forces that have made for the great progress of the last sixteen years will be maintained." The platform strong ly endorses President Wilson and his preparedness program as well as the legislation proposed by the adminis tration forces. The platform endorses the national and state administrations. The party is pledged to continued development of public education, con- scrvation of public health, construction and maintenance of improved high . ways, development of rural communi ties, warehousing systems for farm products, fostering of all legitimate en terprises, and a close protection of the suffrage amendment to the State con stitution. The platform declares that so long as Democracy rules in North Carolina the people have assurance that the State is safe from the designs of those who would inflict upon it the pay ment of the fraudulent bonds issued in its name under a Republican re gime; and they cannot have that as surance otherwise. So long as the Democratic party is in power, the peo ple have the assurance that this State shall be conducted by white men. The keynote speech of Senator Sim mons went fully into state and nation al matters and we are publishing the speech in full for the benefit of News readers. GATAftiul IS It has been said that every third jx:iso has catarrh in some form. Scie nce has shown that nasal catarrh ofioti indicates a general weakness of the body; and local treatments in 1 he'form of snuffs and vapors do little, if sr.y gocd. To correct catarrh you should treat Its rat.se by enriching your blood with the oil foou In Scott's Emulsion which is a r-.edicinal food and a building-tonic, free (rot!' alcohol or any haruifuldrugj. Try it. " - tt ft Borne, BioomSeM, N. J. The question is often asked: what has become of Villa? Don't know, friend. Your Uncle Samuel is still on his trail, though not as persistent as formerly. However, there are more troops going into Mexico, and the chase will perhaps be started with re newed energy soon. The last note to Germany sent by President Wilson put it up to Germany very strong, and most people have had a fear that the U. S. might get a scrap on her hand or at least a sev erance of friendly relations with Ger many, but the indication now is that there will be a peaceful adjustment of the trouble, at least that is the feeling in Washington. All wish for continu ed peace. All of creation seems to bo in favor of good roads. Out in Indiana a farm er who lived in a good roads county drove over into a county that had mud dy roads, and the mule from the good roads county refused to walk in the mud. The farmer did not beat his mule for not loving bad roads. No. He had his mule put on a truck and haul ed to his barns, and the mule is report ed to have enjoyed the ride. Previous to commencement last week the graded school children stood the regular examinations. The promo tions to higher grades were very num erous. Some of the little tots in the primary grades were heard to remark after their promotion that they wish ed their teacher to be promoted also, that they might be in her grade. This coming from young America, we con " aider a grand compliment to a school teacher. ' April 2nd was the closing date for entries in the State primary. All un opposed candidates in the primary election June 3 will be declared the nominees without being voted for. The candidates who have no opposition will not be placed on the primary ticket at all This means that the Hon. E. Y. Webb's name will not appear on the primary ballot, but he will of course be in the general election next Novem ber by a large majority. LIFE VS. PROPERTY.

We have the word of Mr. Tom Boat that the Democratic convention at Raleigh Thursday "was a perfect ly terrific crowd, much larger than the Republicans, with -every thing delectable could gather." It was, in fact, an astqnisher to even the most enthusiastic Democrat. It was the first convention held under the new order of things with the nominating features eliminated and one for which there was no necessity for an outpour ing as in the old days, yet it was one of the largest conventions in the his tory of the party. It was certainly the most harmonious and united. From the personnel of the gathering one easily got the impression that more of the "wheel horses" survive than was generally believed. A no table fer.ture of the attcndr.ncu was the number of men who have been prominently identified with the his tory of the party in this State as workers and leaders and they were flanked by the younger and more ac tive element of the North Carolina politics in enthusiastic numbers. One could not make inspection of the body without gaining an impression of the growing strength of the State De mocracy. All sections of the State were represented, by men intelligent and well-informed and the reports they brought indicate that the ticket is certain of an increased majority at the November elections. The Slte convention dispelled any doubts that mignt nave lingered as to the mili tancy of the Democracy in North Carolina. The party is in finer shape than since the disruption by t he PonuKstic-ReDublican fusion and it has been solidified by the develop ments in the Republican convention. while at the same time, the Repub licans are far from united. The Dun can and anti-Roosevelt faction has sharpened its knife, not for open demonstration, but for secret work and the defeat of the Butler plans is going to give it joyous revenge for the ousted faction is "lavinp- low" for revenge. If Roosevelt is nomi nated and some Republicans in this State are plotting to contribute all in their might to that end there is going to be some bolting, some scratching and a good deal of stay ing away from the polls. The Re publican animosity lurking under the surface is something fierce. Thcv are going to "get even" with But ler, ana subsequent events will prove that The Observer has obtained a correct line on the designs in that direction. Priveleged to jjrint all that a review at this time The Observer would snow the skies looking mighty bright for the Democrats of the State. Butler's catpure of the Re publican convention and his nomi nance of Republican affairs is con tributing to Democratic happiness in many ways, Dut m none so materially as in the measure of Republican re venge that is being hatched up for him. The bloody eyed Republican is a terrible thing to behold and he is numerous down about Raleigh and in the State. . The Landmark Is rather with Judge Carter's way of inir of the Gaston countv man. con victed of second decree murder. His honor, as mentioned in the last issue of The Landmark, required a young man who had killed his companion to nay his victim 8 hospital and funeral expenses, to pay the dead man's mother half his weekly earnings for a term of seven years, and to give S500 bond to appear in court from time to tame and show fr.ithful com pliance with the requirements. That was in effect requiring the murderer to take the place of the dead son in support of his mother, which was practical and helpful. Moreover, if the folks who are so handy with guns and knives find out that taking hu man life is going to cost them real money, that may give them pause. Fear of the State prison, the olectric chair or the chain gang doesn't stop them because they figure, with reas on, that they can get by these. But if the courts take up the practice of taking money from them and making them pay it why that is another mutter. Statesville Landmark. GIVE $1,000 EACH TO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES Washington. March 2. As a per petual memorial to the great interest in Southern farming manifested by the late President Finley, President Harrison, of Southern Railway Com pany, has arranged to give $1,000 each to the State Agricultural Colleges in Virginia. North Carolina bouth Caro, Una, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis sissippi, Kentucky and Tennessee, to be designated "Southern Railway Loan Fund: William Wilson Finley Founda tion," Loans from the funds from each State are to be made by the College authorities to worthy students in such way as the authorities of each college may determine, subject only to the restriction that the students receiv ing the benefits shall be from counties traversed by the lines of southern Railway Company or its associated Companies. k ' This permanent loan fund will take the place of the four-year Southern Kailwav scholarships provided by Mr, Finley which will expire with the close of the present school year.

Now, when the President, at the end of a great patience, hass poken to Germany and to Congress the last word about German submarine war fare, many Republican voices at Washington disapprove him, not the German submarine policy and acts. ; There was a noticeable number of young men in attendance at the Dem ocratic State convention yesterday. The forward looking young men of the State are joining the Democratic party. News and Observer. A Crying Demand. A certain fcmily in a small Ken tucky town is notorious for its lack of domestic harmony, according to The Philadelphia Record. Late one Summer afternoon tie small son of the house was leaning .-.gainst the dooryard gate, crying with great energy. : Old Mrs. Beals passed. "What's the matter, little boy?" "Th-they won't take me to the m-movie show!" he howled. "Do they ever take you when you cry like that?"

That is why dentirts hurt teeti: so much when drilling holes in them for fill ings or when grinding them down for gold crowns. Any one who will invent something that can be put on a tooth to render it insensitive tor 10 minutes, without injurL'.g it, has a fortune awaiting him. Cocaine and novocaine, which are used as local anaesthetics in other ports of the body, have no effect upon the teeth as they cannot pene trate the hard tissue of which these are composed. ploased CANDIDATES IN TnE PRIMARY, dispos- Entire List For State, Congressional And Senatorial Offices Has Been Made Up Both Parties.

METHODIST IN CONFERENCE SYMPATHIZE WITH WILSON Saratoga Springs, N. Y., April SO. Assurance that Methodists of the United States wero in sympathy with President Wilson's efforts to keep the country from becoming, involved in the European war, was voiced here today by Bishop Earl Cranston of Washington. Bishop Cranston, who will open the twenty-seventh general conference of the Methodist-Episcopal Church here tomorrow, was address ing a preliminary service "I would assure the President of the Umted States," Bishop Cranston said, "that whatever temporary back sliding may happen when a few Methodists here or yonder may fall under thhe spell of -a mngnetie politi cal leader, the great body of our peo ple aro in full sympathy with all of his patriotic nnd Christ:nn endeavors to keep this Nation out of the Euro pean embroilment. 1 "Wo Methodists do not bel'ove that it is patriotic for a few Americans to insist upon their techn-cal right to travel at sea in such a time as this, for personal reasons, at the risk of bringing the horrors nnd desolations of war upon millions of their fellow-Americans."

Although Mr. Kit chin took a very strong stand early in the session of congress against most of the important pills President Wilson recommended, the President will not take any part in the fight in the second district. The presi dent is said to admire Mr. Kitchin, and really wishes him to remain in Congress.- If - the primary had been immediately after Mr. Kitchen's let ter to his district antagonizing the president's programme tor prepared ness, he would certainly have been defeated.
