C. m :oE=iEao] TO ERADICATE QUACK GRASS Young Plants Are Easily Killed If At tacked Before They Have Formed Underground Stems. Toung quack-grass plants, If at tacked before they have formed un-j dergrotind stems, are as easily killed' as plants of wheat or other-grains of the same age. ' Manure containing quack-i^'ass seed may be applied on plowed cround be fore preparing the soil for a cultivated Quack Grass. crop. The seed will grow the same season and the young plants will be killed in the preparation of the seed* bed and the cultivation of the crop. Digging by hand and removing from the field all portions of the plant, smothering with tar paper, and spray ing with a solution of sodium arsenite are best for the complete eradication of quack grass on smiill spots. All methods of eradication on large fields are based on thorough tillage. CHEAPEST GAINS ON PASTURE Feed Cost for Brood Sow With Litter Cut in Two by Turning Them on Alfalfa or Clover. ' Pigs make the cheapest gains on pasture. Trials at the North Dakota experiment station indicate that brood sows running on good pasture and nursing litters will do as well when receiving one to one and a half pounds of grain per 100 pounds live weight of sow as LOWS in dry lot receiving two and a half pounds grain per day per each 100 pounds live weight. The pas ture just about cuts the feed cost in two. The pasture alone does not fur nish enough feed for either the brood sow with litter or for the weaned pigs. They should be fed some grain, so as to make a rapid growth. In this way the spring pig can be ready for market before real cold weather sets in. Alfalfa, clover, bromus and winter rye make the earliest pastures. When these have not been provided, early spring seeding of such grains as oats and barley or rape are the next best thing. Equalization. Professor Brander Matthews was overheard once talking with Mr. Car negie. “1 notice, Mr. Carnegie,” he said, “that you don’t limp.” “And why should I?” asked the phi lanthropist. “Well,” slowly answered the profes sor, “maybe they pull them alter nately.” Judffe John W. Prescott, of Camden, N. J., will nominate President Wilson at the St. Louis convention.v SoutEiem Railway Opei ating Over 7,000 Miies of Railway ^QUICK ROUTE TO ALL POINTS J^orth~Soxith~Ka,4rt-'We>r-t.

Dellinger, Former Legis lator From Gaston County, An nounces His Candidacy, Subject to the Democratic Primary June 3, 1916. Mr. David P. Dellinger, of Gaston county, announces that he is a candidate for the office of Commissioner of Labor and Printing. Mr Dellinger’s whole life has been spent in close touch with and in the in terest of the working man. He has had large experience in legislation and was prominent in the 'House in 1913, when a particularly hard fight was made on the subject of labor legislation. His knowledge of the printing busi ness is thorough, having been gained through actual experience in the print ing business. He advocates the policy of the State furnishing text books frea to the children of the public free schools, and believes it can be done for less than one*-half the cost to the public under the present system. His record in the legislatures of 1909, 1913 and 1915 commend him to the con fidence and support of all the people. It Voting in the Primary. There is some complaint that the primary law disfranchises the in dependent voter; that unless one is a party man—a Democrat or a Re publican and so declares—he can’t vote in the primary and is, there fore, disfranchised. The primary law was of course made for politi cal parties—to enable the voters of a i5arty to select the candidates for the party; and being a parfy af fair it was not expected that voters who claim Ito party allegiance would seek the privilege cf help ing to name candidates for a party. AH voters, of course, have the privile>re of voting for whom they please at the regular election. But in the primary affair—to name candidates to represent the party— the voting is supposed to be the peculiar priyilesre of the party members. In North Carolina a good many voters vote the Democratic State and county tickets but vote for Republicans in national elections. As Attorney General Bickett in terprets the primary law, a voter who votes the Democratic State and county ticket can vote in the State and county bexes in the Democratic primary, regardless of his national party affiliation; but he can’t vote a mixed ticket in the primary—for both Democrats and Republicans—because the primary is a party affair and the law is made for the convenience of mem bers of parties—simply provides a method for selecticg party candi dates.—Statesville Landmark. McConnell Flies OverGerman Lines Paris, May 17.—Corporal J. R. McConnell, of Carthage, N. C., to day took part in the lirst aeriarl ex pedition which the American avia tors in the servic^ of the French army have made over the German lines sioce the Franco-American laying corps was orjjanized as a separate unit. Though Corporal McConneJl was flying at a height of twelve thousand feet the Ger man shells were bursting all around him, showing that the range of the German anti-aircraft guns has been lengthened. As the corps recrossdd the front they were subjected to a particular ly heavy shelling, but all escaped uninjured. A Symbol of Health.

Science has sho^vnthat nasal catarrh often indicates a g^enera! weakness of the body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors do littio if any good. To corr‘ct catarrh you ikould treat Its enriching your blood with the «mulilon which i» a medicinal food nnd a building-tonic. free from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Try it. Scott & I!owne, Bloomfleld, N. J. COMFORTING WORDS Many a Mt^ion Household Will Find Them So. To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed—to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is enough to make any kidney suffered grateful. The following advice of one who has suffered will prove comforting words to hundreds of Marion readers. J. M. Clay, Marion, says: “My kid neys were weak and the kidney secre tions were nnnatural and irregnlar in passage. My back and kidneys pained me. I think the trouble was caused by a strain. I was never much of a hand to take medicine, but I procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Streetman’s Drug Store and began their use. They soon cured me and my back and kidneys have been strong ever since.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim ply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—ihe same that cured Mr Clay.
