! QUITS JOURNALISM I OR OFFICE
I Governor-elect Bickett has made a jo.xl selection in
I chosiiur Santford Martin, editor of the Winston-Salem
'- Journal to be his private secretary, but the pres3 of
No th Carolina loses one of it best editors. Santford
Martin is one of the younger men in the St:ite, placed' In
, the responsible position in charge of the editorial policy
of one of the State's leading papers, who ha-; made good.
His ability is evidenced by the splendid progress that the
Winston-Salem Journal has made since he was place!
at the helm.
The editor of The Free Press congratulates Governor
' Bickett in being able to secure Mr. Martin, and con
gratulates Mr. Martin for the honor shown him. The
editor of The Free Press, however, regiets exceedingly

'Every one of these warm spells revives a few of the
fly pests to remind us that unless the swatter is now
worked, the 1917 crop will be as prolific as usual.
Til K STATE LOSES.
.n 'gely because the Farm Loan Bank district Wen
net arranged so as to place the States of Virginia and
North Carolina in the same district, the coveted bank for
this, the third, district has been lost to the State, and
instead of being located in Raleiigh . or somewhere in
North Carolina, goes to Columbia.
North Carolina being the northern state in the thirl
di-trict, logically lost its claim to become the cento, o'
capital. One of the intermediate states very nafi rally
had to be chosen by the Farm Loan committee. The
Free Press regrets that the bank was not located at Ba
leigh. It would have meant a good deal to Raleigh aur
the State, to have had this center created within its con
fines. Be that as it may, let us not be unminuiul ol tne
good work that was done to land the bank and for the
assistance rendered by our Virginia friends, who did
what they could to advance the claim of Raleigh.
With a -word of thanks and appreciation for those out
side the state, who worked in behalf of North Carolina
in this matter, we congratulate our friends of the Pal
metto State for having secured the prize, and we be
speak for the new institution success in promoting the
interosts of the planters of the district.
'The time forthc 1917 legislature is near at hand.
There are matters of concern to this section which
should be considered before the arrival of the "eleventh
hour." Enough of the latter kind of legislation, if you
please.
President Wilson is today celebrating his sixtieth
birth anniversary. It has been sixty years full wrought
and replete with achievement. The Free Press is glad
to add its word of congratulation to the thousands, which
go forth to the executive mansion today, and to wiih
for Mr. Wilson many niore years of active usefulness ir
'.he councils of the nation.
vIf the Independents really have the, balance of-.ipowr
in the House, which is very likely, the organization or
that historic lawmaking body will furnish the most in
teresting of fights. And then after organization the
"on tops" must keep a full house always or else the
other will put something over them.
Congressman Adamson of eight-hour law fame is re
puted to be a connoisseur on the wuter question, and es

Our old frkd Rhcumatiz is having
hir, inning this year, and a few words
of caution from one who knows all
about it may not be amiss.
Wear rubbers in damp weather; !
keep your feet dry; drink plenty of '
lemcnade, and avoid strong alcohol
ic drinks.
If rheumatism gets you, or sciatica.
and you have sharp twinges, gnaw- '
ing pain or swollen joint3 or mus- j
clcs, you can get rid of all agony in j
just a few days by taking one-half
teaspoonful of Rheuma once a day. I
All druggists know about Rheuma;
it's harmless, yet powerful; cheap, '
yet sure, and a oO-cent bottle will last j
a long time. Ask J. E. Hood & Co., '
or any druggist. ady

says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., In
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's,
tonic. She says further: "Before 1 began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, V
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to d any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, 1 do all my housework,
well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
The Woman's Tonic
a tri.il. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good."
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's
