As a sequence to a telegram re ceived from Judge Harry W. Whedbee, of Greenville, bearing the information that on account of illness he could not convene Orange county superior court for several days, the promised notable criminal trial against the four hazers at the state university charged with bring about the death of "Billy" Rand, of Smithfield, in the early morn ing hours of September 13, was post poned until the March term of Orange county court. This definite agree ment was reached when the attorneys in the case, in consultation with Solic itor Gattis, recognized the apparent impossibility of the court's reaching the case until the latter part of the week, if then.

A Log Oo Tbe Track Of the fast express means serious trou ble ahead if not removed, so does loss of appetite. It means lack of vitality, loss of strength and nerve weakness. If ap petite fails, take Electric Bitters quick ly to overcome the cause by toning up the stomach and curing the indigestion. Micnael Hessheimer, of Lincoln, Neb., had been sick over three years, bat six bottles of Electric Bitters pat him right on his feet attain. They have helped thousands.

Democratic Rally at Hiilsboro. in spite of the incessant downpour of rain, Orange county's temple of jus tice was overflowed with Democrats from many parts of the county to par ticipate in the Democratic rally at Hiilsboro. It was a great day for De mDcracy. For two hours the speakers of the day Governor W. W. Kitchin and Mr. J. Ed Pegram, of Durham, expounded the principles of the Dem ocratic party to an eager audience of listeners. Other than those that had pointedly come here for the purpose of hearing the political speeches, there were prominent attorneys from dif ferent parts of the state in attend ance upon court, that rallied to the Cc.use of Democracy. The Catawba County Fair. The Catawba county free street fair which is held annually in Hickory, promises to be the most elaborate were held. As much as $2,000 in cash and merchandise has been subscrib ed as premiums. This is by far a larger amount than has even before been offered. The premium list, which has just been issued shows that premiums will be given on all exhib its that may be put up. There will bo prizes for the best displays of field and garden crops, poultry, live stock, dairy products, horticulture, manu facturers' displays, pantry supplies, children's department and a goodly number of special premiums. Lineman Gaddis Electrocuted. Neil Gaddis, a lineman employed by the Waynesville Electric Company, was instantly killed by an electric shock from a live wire. He was work ing on the line on Main street at Waynesville when he was observed to begin to fall and recover himself, clinging to the wire about which he had been working. When taken down life was extinct. This is the first ac cident of the kind that ever happened in Waynesvine. Postoffice to be Discontinued. Postmaster Willis Briggs received notice from the department at Wash ington that the postoffice at Rogers Store, Wake county, will be discon tinued October 1 and that the patrons from that office will be served by ru ral free delivery. This is taken to be a. considerable improvement over the eld service as it will make possible receiving a response to letters on the day after they are issued from Ral eigh. This has not been possible be fore. Hookworm Dispensaries in State. Three additional counties, Anson, Stokes and Franklin, have made ap propriations for the campaign against the hookworm, making fifty-six coun ties which have appropriated for the work. The campaign against the hookworm has been very successful in North Carolina, and the work in this state is attracting the attention of hookworm officials all over the country. Dr. Edward Fullenburg, a noted hyiscian of Germany, visited this state and inspected the different tree dispensaries. Henderson Finished It's Share. Henderson county has completed its share of the Greenville-Henderson highway from Hendersonville to the top of the mountains near the state line says Supervisor Justice. About a year ago an agreement was made with the Greenville authorities that if Henderson county would do its share of the grading that Greenville would meet the road with a well graded highway on the South Caro lina side. The late J. P. Goodwin .of Greenville was one o the leading ad vocates of this highway. J. W. Copeland, of Dayton, Ohio, purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Ckragh Remedy for his boy who had a oold. and before the bottle was all used the bovks cold was gone. Is that not 1 letter than to par a five dollar doctor's lull? For aale by all dealers. THIRD TERM QUACK PUNK Fraudulent "Blanket Policy" Of fered for Protection of Health and Life. IN INTEREST OF FAKERS "Theodore Rex" Promises to Shield Them Against Discrimination by Educated Physicians. The political tentacles of the third term candidate have been extended in every direction from which might be gathered voters irrespective of sex, race, color or previous condition, of all vocations, factions and trades into the Progressive fold. By specious prom ises cunningly adapted to each the colonel beckons them to follow with bleating approval wheresoever his bell wether adjutants may lead in order that Theodore Rex may again sit in the White House. Tempting bait is thrown to the work ing people in the mimimum wage, to the Socialists in the enlargement of government ownership, to the wom en In the furtherance of suffrage as pirations, to the farmer In blissful bet terment of rural life, etc. Now he ap peals to the quacks, those true and hitherto despised men of predatory wealth, offering them tenderest regard and freedom from prejudice "for or against." The following "blanket pol icy" is offered for protection of our most precious possessions health and life: "We favor the union of all the exist nig agencies for fundamental govern ment dealing with the public health into a single national health service without discrimination against or for any one set of therapeutic methods, school of medicine of school of healing, with such additional powers as may be necessary to enable it to perform efficiently such duties in the protection of the public from preventable dis eases as may be properly undertaken by the fundamental authorities, in cluding the execution of existing laws regarding pure food, quarantine and cognate subjects, the promotion of ap propriate action for the improvement of vital statistics, the extension of the registration area of such statistics and co-operation with the health activities of the various states and cities of the nation." Thus would votes for Theodore Rex be multiplied. Insults Educated Physician. This quack plank of the Progressive platform not only insults the intelli gent voter, but wounds the educated physician, In that it places the latter in the same category with empirics of high and low degree, rubbers, sun curists, magnetic and other healers and all other pretenders who fatten upon the credulity of the helpless sick and their terrified relatives. The Sun has adverted to the outrageous violation of propriety and justice which charac terizes the medical laws of several states in the Union, the last instance of which we deplore in the medical reg ulations of the canal zone and which the bull moose platform threatens to inflict upon all the states of the Union. These legislative enactments require all persons who propose to become physicians not only to pursue a more or less thorough course of preparatory education, but also to be trained in all branches of medicine and, besides, to be subject to a rigid examination by appointees of the state. All these serve to protect the public against ignorant pretenders and would be perfectly fair did not the very same enactments ex empt the latter from the provisions ap plying to educated practitioners. Favors for Cormorants. Thus do our sagacious legislators stultify themselves in the interest of the cormorants to whom they grant special privileges, because, forsooth, they claim to "heal" without medi cines! There is now no discrimination against "schools of medicine." There fore the special protection demanded for them by the bull moose platform is gratuitous and intended only to entrap votes. The "healers" belong to no school. Now comes Theodore Rex and dignifies them by a special provision and, expressing a most tender regard for their sensibilities, promises to shield them against discrimination by educated physicians. This platform would raise the quack and healer above the men who daily exemplify their personal and profes sional superiority by some unselfish devotion to the public weal. In his eagerness to placate the influential hord of empirics Mr. Roosevelt would have us oblivious of the fact that the educated physician is the only real altruist in .the community. Instead of arousing the public conscience (T. R.'s favorite slogan) this self appointed re former deepens the orylng shame and thus exemplifies again that "under no circumstances" need he be bound by his prior professions. President Tatt has won the approval of the quacks tud healers by his med ical regulations of the canal sons; hence tw Machiavellian policy. Fu ture generations will substitute "Roos eveltian" for "Machiavellian." Polities make strange bedfellows indeed. Be hnid Taft and Roosevelt under the imA blanket! New Ton Will The REAL FREEMEN Uphold Wilson's Hands? Woodrow Wilson has refused emphatically to accept contributions to his Campaign Fund from the Interests, from corrupting influences, irom any questionable sources. - , A He has given us, the Democratic National Committee, to understana that he will go into the White House with clean hands or not at all. only give one dollar. We believe in this kind of loyaity it's the kind that wins. Let every one contribute to the Woodrow Wihxm l Cam paign by the first mail. Let's have as big a fund as the cor porations can supply the other parties. For the peo pie jare mightier even in money than the Combinations-wfeen they get together. Who Is Getting The Money of The Trusts? So sure has been Wilson's stand, so well known his incor ruptible purpose, that no private interests have dared to approach either our candidate or his committee. We have not been offered a penny by the trusts, and we certainly have not solicited a penny from them. The money of the Interests is being spent against Wilson. No matter for whom we need not discuss that here it is now common gossip that the money power of the nation is being used in an attempt to defeat Woodrow Wilson. What Is a "People's Campaign?" We are addressing ourselves to the real freemen of America, the upright, Progressive Voters of the country who are doing the work of the nation and not the work of trusts and bosses. We realize that the salvation of every righteous cause rests with you. Often this cry of a People's Party or a People's President is raised by the very forces we seek to defeat and whom we must and will defeat. But look to our standard and our standard bearer and decide yourself as to which is the People's Campaign and must, therefore, be fought with the People's money. Woodrow Wilson Has Clean Hands Woodrow Wilson is the cleanest man in national politics He came of illustrious forefathers, who laid by blood and heredity the foundation of a future President through gen eration after generation of upright record. If Wilson is to be elected it must be by clean money and there is only one source of such money from the voters of the country who realize the importance of having a govern, ment uninfluenced by the almighty dollar. Wilson's hands are clean. Will yoo uphold them? How Much Money Will You Give? How Much Can You Raise? 5 There are big campaign expenses to be met if we are to win on Election Day in November. We must tell the voters of the country about Wilson, what he is, what he has done We must show them his record. We must show them his platform. We must point out to them the features of his platform which mean so much to this nation. This great work will cost a lot of money. We must meet the usual heavy toll necessary to present a platform and a candidate to a hundred million. r Your dollar, your f5, your $10, your $20 is needed. And don't mistake we want the man who can only afford the one dollar. We need him. We need the woman who can A Call To Those Who Will Club Contributions No live progressive voter can do more for Wilson's cause than to head a list with his own contribution and then to have his fellow-workers and friends swell the total with their names and money. If you work in an office or factory, mill, warehouse, on a railroad, ranch or farm, start tbe ball rolling. Line up the Wilson men. Sign up as many contributions as you can. And mail to us.
