Sure of G. O. P, Cording Eack.
"No, New England is not coming
back into the Rennblioiin eohitnn " re
marked former United States Senator
Morgan G. Bulkeley of Connecticut, at
"Washington. "New England! is already
back, and back to stay. Troci was
proved last year, when in all of the
New England states tho Republicans
returned and defeated tie Democrats.
They will give an eveD more emphatic
demonstration of thf.ir attitude next
year.
"In most of the g.-eat industrial cen
ters of New England business is fairly
good, but it is. due largely to- the
European war. ;ut business men. saw
the sun risnts; after the November
elections; tkey saw that the people
M ere dissatisfied with Democratic con-;
trol of government, and that in an-:
other election they would be dis-
Phicjd. This gave rise to hope, and j
almost immediately there were evi-!
Klences of a restoration of confidence, j
If the European war should end now, j
I fear we would have a period of se
vere depression in business, but it
would not last long, for there is xi
forward movement in business, due
wholly, I believe, to the confidence
that the old party that brought pros
perity to the nation for so many years
: will soon be in power."
Republicans Will Get Together.
"The regular Republicans i and the
. Roosevelt Progressives will get to
gether within tine next few months
and begin an atctive campaign for
1910," says Edwaitd F. Lithgow of Chi
cago. "I am not a politician myself;, but I
have friends who are In close-, touch
"with some of the leaders in tlue Pro
gressive camp, and from what I hear,
('olonel Roosevelt will be invited' by
'he straight Republicans to a get-to-sethpr

Searching Graves.
From time immemorial there
have been men with such a greed
for gold that they would not hesi-
1 tate to rob the dead to get their
! heart's desire. Nov and then
there comes to light some new ex-
' ploit ill this line to remind one of
j tne search for treasures buried with
! 8unken g 18h Kalleons the dig-
. , , , , . , . ,
j ging for gold buried by Blackbeard,
the pirate, and those ghouls of
Dickens' Tale of two Cities, who
would cut off the fingers of dead
people to get their gold rings,
I But to get to our story, Dave
! Lowder, a man now 82 years of
who has lived for nearly 30
i & '
years at Lowden's Ferry on the
Yadkin River, acting: as ferryman.
iU"ua-' "
facts herein related:
I On Wednesday night of last week
whpn tho mnnn ws nhinincr in nil
yjously searched for gold, lotg
reputed to have been buried with
Montgomery side attended. Kron
Lowder, a son of Dave Lowder,
served as ferryman that night.
After the match was over he and
another young man set the party of
young people over to their home
side. Kron, noticing certain young
men standing idle on the Mont
gomery shore, asked what they
were there for. One fellow said.
"I ain't going to
tell you now.
1 our aaaay win Know soon en
ough," Those idle fellows had
worked in a field near the grave
during the day, and naturally their
actions have aroused suspicion.
It remains to tell something of
DeLamont. He came from France
about the same time that the late
Doctor Kron eame with bis two
daughters Misses Elizabeth and
Addie Kron. DeLamont being
rich bought much land both on the
Montgomery and Stanley sides of
the Yadkin. Before he died, hav
ing no relatives in America, he
willed his property in Stanly to
the Krons. For some reason a
law suit ere long followed, and Dr.
Kron, rather than lose his proper
ty, willed it to his daughters.
These two lived on the estate until
each in her turn passed into the
silent land, Whafc became of De
Lamont's money will probably
never be known until the sea gives
up its dead. Let us hope though
that his ashes will never again be
disturbed. Albemarle Enterprise,

Cotton Acreage Off One-Third.
-I am of the opinion" declared
Dr. H. Q. Alexander, president of
the North Carolina Division of the
Farmers' Union "that the cotton
acreage reduction in the State this
Spring will be at least SO per cent.
I have talked to leading farmers in
various sections and have received
reports from a number of union of
ficials and their statements bear me
out in this belief. There will be lo
calities of course in which the reduc
tion will be greater and vice versa
but this will prove to be the approxi
mate average."
A Specific Against Colds. -.
"If there is such a thing as a specific
against colds, it is to be found in the
sleeping porch or the open bed room.
Next to that comes the cold sponge bath
in the morning," says the Youths Com
panion. Be as careful as you can you

Sand-Clay And Weather.
Greensboro News.
From a published letter written
by N. B. Mills of Statesville, to a
citizen of Alexander county Little
Alex, being now ia the throes of a
road bond election campaign it is
learned that Iredell has an annual
road maintenance balance of more
than $11,000. This is 2.75 per
cent of the eost of the county's
roads, $400,000. This should dis
pel any notion current that Iredell's
new roads, coastitutieg a magnifi
cent system, are being allowed to
go to ruin. This paper has insisted
that the past wiuter must furnish
the final test of the sand clay road.
It has been our opinion that the
right mixture, the right drainage
and the right admission of sunlight
constitute a combination that with
proper care, win stand tne rigors
of the most revere winter, and did
in fact stand this past winter. An
official, Mr. Spoon, we believe, has
pointed out, as did the Daily News,
that this season has furnished the
lessons in sand-clay construction
that must be studied. On this
point Mr. Mills writes.
.I laixc; ia auji uvjuuc iu but;
minds of any of your people about
our keeping our sand clay roads in
good shape, tnen I especially in
vite them down to make a trip over
the whole system. Of course, this
has been an extremely hard season
on tho roads, and it is true that
some parts of our sand elay system
were in had shape during the ex
treme bad weather. However,
wherever this was the case it was
due not any defect in the sand clay
road but always where the road
was either improperly located with
out proper sunshine, or where the
foundation was rotten or where we
could not obtain a good surface soil.
We believe that this winter has
taught us a lesson, for we know
what ia needed to make the whole
system of our roads as good as
roads can be built, and for that
matter right now with the little
work we have done in rounding up
the roads with scraper, our roads
are in as good shape if not better
than when they were built. "
The sand-clay road is very pro
bably still the thing, for North
Carolina rural ways, if the condi
tions as to materials, drainage, ete,,
can be met.
Things Rotten In Iredell.
According to outward and visible
evidence and current talk, the
primary Saturday afternoon was
not an affair of whrch to be proud.
This has noreference 10 the result,
nor is it charging one side with
wrong over another. The agita
tion, long drawn out, was very
aeute and feeling strong. The
primary was a "soap box" affair,
there being no legal restrictions or
regulations, and there are charges
and counter charges of "dirty
work.'' We don't know whether
any primary law passed by the
Legislature, if one is passed, will
take eare of the municipal situation
in Statesville, but if it does not
stringent legal regulations should
be provided before another one is
held. The tendency to corrupt
methods in primaries aud elections
in Iredell to use methods that
good citizens eanuot excuse nor
long tolerate without serious results
has been very noticeable in re
cent years; and unless a halt is
called, and at once, the good name
of the town and county will become
a byword and a reproach, States
ville Landmark.
No Use to Try and Wear Out Your Cold
It Will Wear You Out Instead.
Thousands keep on suffering Coughs
and Colds through neglect and delay.
Why make yourself an easy prey to seri
ous ailments and epidemics as the result
of a neglected Cold? Coughs and Colds
sap your strength and vitality unless
checked in the early stages. Dr. King's
New Discovery is what you need the
first dose helps. Your head clears up,
you breathe freely and you feel so much
belter. Buy a bottle to-day and start
taking at once.
Mocksville Needs One.
One out of every four homes in
Winston Salem is built through
not thru, as the Sentinel says the
building aud loan association.
Many homes are built through that
agency in Raleigh and Charlotte
owes many of its great number ol
homes to the building and loan as
sociation. The influence of the
building and loan associations is
far reaching. Like the banks it
instills in the people the habit of
thrift and encourages them to la
their money away against old age.
A building and loan association is
a great factor in the upbuilding of
any community. Raleigh Times.
In Lenoir the Building and Loan
has been a most powerful and effec
tive agency in the development of
the town. Possibly none of the
smaller towns in the State have
grown faster in reeent years than
Lenoir, and more than seventy five
per cent of the houses erected dur
ing the past twenty five years have
been paid for throagh the Build
ing and Loan. An agency which
makes it possible for a man of small
income to become the owner of a
home, and therefore a more useful
citizen, cannot be too highly
praised. Lenoir Topic.
The Flirting Girl.
The first question a man asks
when he sees a girl flirting is whe
ther she is respectable girl or not.
Yon see how it is raised a doubt
at once. This being the case, surely
no modest girl can afford the
slightest degree of this pastime.
When the down is brushed from
a peach the beauty is mared that
it can never be restored, and bo
wher a young girl throws lightly
aside that sweet and modest re
serve so becoming to a maiden,
and which so elevates her and en
ables her to command the respect
of all, she loses her greatest charm
and comes rather common and
cheap, to use no rash terms. Flirt
ing may seem to the giddy aud
thoughtless girl to be wonderfully
amusing, and she may even get an
idea that she is quite fascinating,
but it is a most degrading thing
and should be downed upon by
every young girl who has an am
bition to become a worthy and
charming woman.
WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Women Finds AH Her Energy And
Ambition Slipping Away.
Mocksville women know how the aches
and pains that often cbme when the kid
neys fail make life a burden. Backache,
hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, dis
tressing urinary troubles, are frequent in
dications of weak kidneys and should be
checked in time. Doan's Kidney Pills are
for the kidneys only. They attack kidney
diseases only. They attack kidney dis
eases by striking at the cause. Here's
proof of their merit in a Winston-Salem
woman's words:
Mrs. M. D. Gantt, 458 S. Liberty St.,
Winston-Salem, N. C, says: "I had weak
kidneys and severe pains across my back.
When I stooped over, I had trouble in
straightening. Finally I used Doan's Kid
ney Pills and they gave me great relief."
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kid
ney Pills the same that Mrs. Gantt had.
