THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD - - Editor. OFFICEr-Second Story Angel Building, Main St. Entered atthePostoffice mMocks ville, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter, March 8. 1903. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance 50c Six Months, in Advance 25c WEDNESDAY. August 10, 1910. Senatorial Convention. The Republican Senatorial Convention of this, the 29th Senatorial District, com posed of the counties of Wilkes, Yadkin and Davie is hereby called to meet at Yadkinville cn Monday. Sept. 5, 191U. at l o'clock, p. m.. for the purpose of nommat ing a Senator to represent this district in thl next Senate of North Carolina The delegates elected to said convention will take notice accordingly. This Aug. 4. 10. F. W. Hanes, Chairman, 29th Sen. Rep. Ex. Comm. The people love John Morehead be cause Josephus Daniels hates him. The census figures have not. been given out yet, but we believe that Davie county and the town of Mocks ville will show a substantial growth. Politics should have no place in the religious papers throughout the coun try, but we notice that one of our neir neighbors keeps dabbling with them. ' Mocksville has another chance to secure a cotton mill. No town needs factories and mills more than we, and it is to be hoped that our citi zens will not let this opportunity pass by unheeded. We wish to brand the editor of the Cooleemee Journal a cowardly, con temptible liar, and defy him to sub stantiate a single charge he made against us in his sheet last week. We shall give him a chance to prove some of his charges publicly. Sunday's Observer says some Democratic papers have overdone the thing. In opposing the More-head-Butler combine, thev have help ed it. If Democrat papers want Morehead ' defeated, Republicans should want him elected. Ex. "As evidence of the fact that pros perity is marked in Thomasville, one bank alone on last Saturday paid out $4,474.41 for weekly pay rolls for the wpek ending July 30th. Lexington Dispatch. We are indeed shocked to read such glorious news, as the above in the Dispatch, a paper that has been howling panic for the past two years. The Cooleemee Journal will please copy. . ENDORSES McNINCH. We see that ex-President Roosevelt in "a letter comes put and endorses the candidacy of Hon. S. S. Mc Ninch. Now, what has our towns man who have been opposing Mr. McNinch, got to say? Lincolnton Times. Patterson is Defeated. Nashville, Ten n. Aug. 4-Thongh the returns are meagre, the indica tion tonight are that the anti-Patterson, on the "free and untram melled" ticket for the supreme court has been elected by a good majority. The Patterson ticket for the big; court is composed of McAlister and Bell of the present court. UooKe, Barton and Maiden. The "free and untrammelled' ' ticket is Beard Shields arid Neill of the present court, Lausden ahd Green. A Mysterious Affair. Out on the new Mxjksville road; about three-fourthe of a niile sonth east of Oak Forest lives a colored woman named Julia Gaither. Peo ple passing by near the woman's house discovered a strong odor of something dead. Buzzards came and perched on trees about the place and these two things attract ed so much attention the neighbors suspected something wrong and went to make an investigation and found where something had been dragged from the house to a ravine thiee or lour hundred yards away that was filied ' with honeysuckle vines There the trail was lost and nothing could be found. But be fore the search was made, it is thought, the body that was causing the search had been moved to some unknown spoj. In the meantime the woman told about in the neigh borhood different stories, she would ask if any one heard the noise at her house one night in tne week, and one of the stories she told was to the effect that two men came to her house one night last week and they had gone a short time wnen she beard a scream that sounded like a wild animal. This woman has a husband who is separated from her and there is a suspicion that he may have came home and these parties she refers to put him him out of the way. But so fat no evidence of foul play or crime can be found. A mystery surrounds the whole matter. Statesville Sentinel. Letter from Oklahoma. Nardin. Okla., July 29.- Editor Record: Having been a reader of The Record for a number of years, and at one time a citizen of Davie, take this means of letting my old friends know where I am. , Okla homa is a hoe country, but we are having exceedingly dry weather this year, no rain to speak of since last January. ,lt is very hot here, and the hot winds have about ruined the crops. Wheat dveiasred about 12 bushels to the acre. Oats was fairly good ,vI,aver aarinsr about 25 bushels to the acre. Times will be very close here for the next year. With success and best wishes to The Record, I am yours truly, F. A. CLIFFORD. We wisb to apologize to our cor respondents this week lor leaving their letters'out tor lack of space We promise to do better in the fu tore, and would be glad to "receive your letters lor next week. Meeting the People. Wilkfsbarre ,P , Ang. 3. -Theodore Roosevelt, traveled for 150 miles today among the mining vil lages in the Wyoming valley. He mingled with people in all stations of life. Late tonight he started back to Oyster Bay. The colonel had the same smile tor them all. He said, his chief delight however, was in meet ing the wage-earners. An incident which was typical of i he day's happenings occured at Wyoming, a mining hamlet, a few r.ules above Wilkesbarre. An old. Irish woman stepped up to him and thrusting out her hand, exclaimed "Hello," Teddy, You're looking line.' The former President sgfm ned with delight, aud said he ws glad to see her.

V ' pa aid Better Sanitation.; It has oome to my ears that there is a sanitary organization in Mocks ville lor the betterment of the san itary arrangement of the town and also beautifying the public square, calling itself the Civic League. While I am not a member of that league, ! am in sympathy with them. - believe the time has fully come wbven we should be aroused fiom iir lethargic state of indiffer ence to thcje fall realization of our duty to oiirselives and our fellow raeu. and fthe1 highest type of civi , lizatjon isltbie clean man,. and that town is progressive just in propor tion as it m$i1ie8 adequate sanitaiy arrangements according to up to date metho dst whether it increases in population or not. The first thing tor usv to do is to make our town cltan, 'so the traveler who chance to pass our way will not be compelled to hold his nostrils while passi ng uow?u Main street to pre vent iuhahrg the various odors that float upo n the gentle breeze, wh ich odors, a re not those of violets noiv suggest! v" of , the perfumed zephyrs.

And the fly, the germ laden fly, the death-dealing fly; what shall we say about it. Solemn thoughts come over us when we think of it, aud a great soughing sob of sadness wells up in our heart when we think of the number of lives that have been sacrificed to his germ carrying pro pensities. Born in filth, rocked in tne cradle of filth, carries filth wherever he goes, comes to yonr table uninvited, with bis feet load ed with typhoid germs, infects your food so you may have a taste of the deadly disease, and then jou won der where you got it. Know you not that flies come from the prem ises where some patient is or has been sick with fever, and who either did not know or did not care to properly disinfect. And the mo squito, that has such a pleasant sound at dusky eventide; who has not beard it and felt its gentle touch,, and said a word that was not in the Sunday school quarterly. 2Tbt you and I, dear reader, but the other fellow. Know ye not that, he carries the deadly germ of malaria, and that he does not come from some distaut pond on your neighbor's premises, but from an oyster can or tub of stagnated wa ter in your own back yard Again, let me present to your imagination a fair young girl in the first Mush of womanhood one of the fairest creatures that ever bloomed in an earthly Eden, with the roses of health on her cheeks, with eyes as bright as the morning dew drops. We see her again fading, withering and dying under the malignant in fluence of some subtle poison. A gain we see the broken hearted mother as she takes the last fond lingering farewell of that - loved form, trying to be comforted in the faith that it is the Lord's will. Know ye not that it was not the Lord's will, but a tuberculosis germ which found lodgment in her lungs during an hour of momentary de l rission of her system, inhaled in germ-laden air infected by the dried spitum of some victim of tu berculosis, who did not know or d id not care to d isin feet . Now 't gentle reader, I will tell to you a secret, and you may shout it from the housetop: tell it in Gatb. The ladies of Mocksville, always ih the foresront of every good movement, are entering upon a crusade against everything that goes to make our town unhealthy, and the" edict has gone forth that our little pets, the buzzing fly, and caressing mosquito must have the death-dealiLg pow ers curtailed, and while we may miss them very much; especially while trying to take a noonday nap, it foreshadows heir doom and parks the hour of their passing. Shall we heed the call of these fair ladies, and with our uhitedefforts, endeavor to make our town one of the most sanitary as well as the most beautiful of any town' in the State of its size, or shall we sit by in inglorious ease, in fancied secur ity while death dealing germs are multiplyijg in geometrical ratio in divers places and floating on every passing breeze. No nation, town or state, has ever become great or ever can, that neglects its sanita tion. The man who cares not for cleanliness, who has not an eye for the beautiful, no taste for aesthetics, does not belong to present day civ ilization.' The curtain of yesterday has already rolled , down, hiding from hisfvision the glorious today. I heard a man only a few days ago. who is traveling the State partially iu the interest of better sanitation. remark ihat we . had the poorest sanitary a rrangeinents of any. town in the State of its size. We should not lie under such imputations as these, but rise up in the full power of our manhood and declare by the eternal it shall be, so no longer.

We have been having some hot and dry weather. Misses Lela and Lula Miller, of Lexing ton, have been visiting their sister, v Mrs. Sallie Foster, of this burg. . " : . ; - Mrs. Ann MiUer and little son. of Cooleemee, have been visiting her broth er, J. F. Owen at this place. " Mr. Dewit Cartner's daughters from Winston are visiting friends and relatives at this place. Miss Sallie Call gave her many friends a delightful ice cream supper last Satur day night, and it was very fine; everybody seemed to enjoy it very much. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cash, of Winston, is visiting his mother at this place. We are glad to see our bid friend Mr. F. P. Cash at home again preparing some canned fruit for us to eat this winter. Mr. C. G. Call has traded off his calico mule. Sorry he did this, for we are not up to plowing Sky Ball. Wild Bill. Mot Sisters Honors Come Thick and Fast. Some men are born lucky and rich, others have U thrust upon them. The latter is what happened to Hon. John Motley Morehead the popular Congressman U om this dis trict last Saturday. He was not only endorsed for CougTess, but was endorsed for State chairman also. There is such a thing as overdoing it, but we hope it is not applicable in this instance. State Dispatch.
