THE DE3I0CRATS ARE
v TAKING A BIG CHANCE
North Carolina Democrats are
tempted to play with fire next year.
Many young and ambitious men
would come to Congress. They feel
that the tisie to make changes is at
hand. But, in some of the districts,
where the Republicans are strong,'
it will be dangerous to undertake to
swap horses. The Republicans have
made up their minds to carry the
nation in 1920, and once more as
sume control of the government and
the national pie counter. There is
every evidence here of a big cam
paign fund.
Recently rumblings .of dissatisfac
tion have been coming in from the
State. The long tenure of office at
Raleigh, and in Congress, seem to
be at the bottom of most of the out
croppings. Behind the "discontent"
is the desire of "outs" to take the
place of the "ins."
Fellows with the burning desire to
get hold of the public doughbag are
champing at the bit. They would
oust the Conrsessmen from their dis
tricts, or the various State offices to
make room for themselves or their
friends.
The situation is logical, Demo
crats here think, but if carried too
far just now it would hurt. Trouble
is brewing in the mountain dist
ricts, where Republicans lie hidden
for years like 17-year locusts, and
then burst forth to overwhelm Demo
crats. There is where the danger
lies.
The 10th district is represented
here now by Zeb Weaver, a very ex
cellent man, and a real Democratic
.Congressman. He has not been here
long. He made an excellent race last
year. He carried his district by a
large majority. It is safe to say that
he can get as many votes as any
other man the Democrats could put
up, and the danger is the strongest
man may lose out.
Leading Democrats who hope to
recapture the House next year count
on the 10th. They will look with dis
favor on any conflict that will en
danger the district.
There is to be a bitter fight in the
9th if Representative Webb becomes
judge, and that is as near a certain
ty as anything human can be. It is
understood that the appointment will
be made when the President returns
to Washington and resumes his rou
tine grind. Mr. Webb has been
picked by him for the place; it is
merely a question of time.
The 9th district likes , to keep a
good man at Washington. It is not
fickle in this matter. Mr. Webb has
been here a long time. His successor
may remain in for a decade or two.
Therefore, the job is a good one. It
is not tempting to a man who has
'the money-making inclination and
'gift, but it is a quiet, dignified posi
tion. It should be filled by a man
of sense and character. The people
of the district deserve a good Con
gerssman. They can name such a
man. They will have a large and
fine assortment to pick rrois.
The day the Webb nomination is
hung up the clamor for his place in
the House will begin.
If the woman suffrage amendment
is ratified in time Miss Julia Alexan
der may be a candidate for Congress.
The suffragists here like her plucky
way of fighting, and would help her
battle with the men. Her letter to
Representative King indicates that
she might bid for the Republican
vote of the district. She gives the
Republicans credit for putting
through the suffrage amendment.
She is ashamed of North Carolina
Congressmen who opposed suffrage.
Looking up to Charlotte from
Washington it is plain, that some
real fun is a short distance ahead.
Farmer Bob Doughion :n the 8th
is uncertain what he will do. He
thinks that he can carry his distrtct
by an increased majority unless the
Democrats get to quarreling among
themselves. He sees hard sledding
ahead of him or any other Democrat
who tackles the egihth. If the re
publicans drop a bucket of money in
there, as they threaten to do under
the Will H. Hayes regime, the issue
will be in doubt. The moonshine
business may play a part in the com
ing eighth district election. The op
portunity to make money out of high
priced intoxicants is going to be so
great that many good men will fall.
Money-making booze manufacturers
cannot stay out of politics.
Representative Stedman has not
put his hat in the ring, but those
who think he can't run any more
ate reckoning without the facts. The
Major never looked nandsomer, nev
er was politer, and never had a
more winning way about him. The
eighth may send Mr. Stedman back;
no doubt it will if he wants to come.

The Joy of Living.
To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can reasonably hope
to get much real pleasure out of life
when his bowels are clogged a good
share of the , time and the poisons
that should be expelled are absorbed
into the system, producing headache
and. indigestion. A few doses of
Chamberlain's Tablets will move the
bowels, strengthen the digestion and
giYje you a chance to realize the real
joy oriiring. Try it.

LETTER FROM SCOTLAND.
In Reference to the Visit of Mr. Sec
retary Josephus Daniels.
The following letter was written by
a cousin of Mrs. D. A." CoWo,,of Ox
ford. In reproducing this letter we
follow the Scotch style of composi
tion: Edinburgh, 21st May, 1919..
Dear Cousin, We were very pleased
te receive your letter of 24th March anu
I intended replying before now to tell
you that, acting on your suggestion, we
interviewed Mr. & Mrs. Daniels on the
occasion of their short visit to this city
three weeks ago. My father mentioned
to the Lord Provost that as relatives of
yours we should like to have a word
or two with your friends the U. S. Navy
Secretary and Mrs. Daniels,, and he at
once arranged for our meeting them,
behold then a trio, comprising my fath
er, my youngest sister, and myself, at
tending at their hotel and being shown
into their room to be received in the
most cordial manner. Mrs. Daniels had
arrived a day or two previously and
had the privilege (?) of seeing Edin
burgh under Artie conditions. It would
appear, however, that under the genial
influence of her presence, a rapid thaw
set in causing the considerable amount
of mow that had fallen to speedily dis
appear. Monday was a wretched day of
lush, and locomotion on foot was
troublesome, but on Tuesday the day
of our visit a distinct improvement
had set in. We had, notwithstanding
their numerous engagements and m
limited time at their disposal, quite a
nice little conversation with Mr. & Mrs.
Daniels and their son, and we left feel
ing very much pleased with our recep
tion. I must not tell you what they
said about you; I shall disclose only this
that we feel honoured in sharing with
them the friendship of those whom they
hold in such esteem.
Mr. Daniels had visited the North of
Scotland to see the ships which had
formed part of the German war fleet,
and I am afraid he would not carry
away favourable impressions of the
climate which sometimes asserts itself
in early summer. Its vagaries are
unique but I hope he and Mrs. Daniels
would derive some little compensation
in the warmth of the welcome extend
ed to them in all the places they vis
ited in Scotland. I may tell you I
took the liberty of carrying my birthday-book
with me to the Hotel intend
ing if I could gather up courage
to do so to ask them if they would
be so good as to enter their names in
the appropriate spaces as a memento
of our meeting. The kind way in
which we were received, however,
caused all my hesitation to vanish,
with the result that I am now the
pleased possessor of the signatures of
the distinguished visitors, Mr. Dan
iels , adding "with pleasantest recol
lections of a delightful visit to charm
ing Edinburgh."
My father posted to you two or
three newspapers containing details
of their intinerary, knowing you
would be interested in the doings of.
your friends. Mr. Daniels will tell
you of his having seen through the
"Scotsman" Office, the illustrated
pamphlet dealing with which you will
remember was sent to you a few years
ago. If I am not mistaken, you were
then somewhat sceptical of such a
vast amount of money having been
spent by the Proprietors on their
buildings, but I am sure Mr. Daniels
will tell you after inspecting the place
that the large sum of 1,000,000 dollars
was not an exaggeration, the sum
including of course the value of the
site and the buildings upon it which
were demolished to make way for the
block.
Mr Mrs. Daniels also visited the
Thistle Chapel, and will perhaps tell
you how highly ornate a building it
is. It has been described as an "Ar
chitectural gem"; indeed, the donor
(the Earl of Leven and Melville) told
my father (who was the builder) at
the inauguration ceremonial, that he
considered it to be the finest building
of its size in Europe.
Mr. Daniels asked me to write an
article on his visit to Edinburgh, but
I am afraid I have put off doing so un
til it is too late, for there are Ave
centuries 'of hours gone and meantime
the courage to attempt to act as spec
ial correspondent to "The News and
Observer" has been forsaking me!.
Tour affectionate Cousin,'

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
To the Memory of Mrs. M. P. Cham
blee,. Adopted By the Woman's Mis
sionary Society of the Oxford Bap
tist Church. -
On June 4 Mrs. M. P. Chamblee, our
friend and sfster, was called from
her earthly labors to her heavenly re
ward. On moving to Oxford, some years
aero, she became a member of our
Woman's Missionary Society. She
proved a good and faithful member,
doing well whatever she could for the
interest of the society. For the past
several years, on account of ill health,
she has been unable to take an active
part in the societies work.
We the members of the Woman's
Missionary Society of the Oxford Bap
tist Church wish to -express our ap
preciation of the life, and character
of Mrs. Chamblee., and the sense
of loss we have sustained in her de
parture from us. We also wish to ex
press our sympathy for her husband
and sons, commending; them to the
'are of Fim who loved us and gave
Himself for us.
To the' Father, mother and sister,
and devoted cousin we extend our
heartfelt sympathy.
May all of us who feel this af
fliction realize that our loss is her
gain and may we comfort ourselves
with the blessed hope of meeting her
again on that beautiful shore, where
there are no more tears, neither sor
row, nor crying, and partings are un
known. MRS. JOHN WEBB.. ,

AN INTRODUCTION TO
YOUR WORST ENEMY
He Massacres Thousands Upon Thou
sands Every Year.
Mr. Charles W. Bryan, of the Hor
ner Bros. Co., always full of life,
finds much pleasure in reading the
following to his friends and asking
them what is the greatest enemy of
the human race. Not one in. a hun
dred answers the question correctly:
I am more powerful than the com
bined armies of the universe.
I have destroyed more than all the
wars of the world.
I spare no one, and find my vic
tims among the rich and poor alike,
the young and the old; the strong
and ttie weak. Widows and orphans
know me.
I loom up to such proportions
that I cast my shadow 'over every
f field of labor, from the turning of
'the grindstone to the moving of ev
ery train.
I massacre thousands and thous
ands of wgae-earners in a year.
I lurk in unseen places and do
most of my work silently.
You are warned against me, but
you heed not.
I am relentless, I am everywhere
in the house, on the street, in the
factory, at the railroad crossings and
on the sea. . . '
I bring sickness, degradation and
"death, yet few seek to avoid me.
I destroy, crush or maim; I give
nothing, but take all.
I am your worst enemy.
I am carelessness.

Henry A. Page, Jr., who a few weeks
ago bought the Von Herff lands
around Southern Pines, is arranging
to put the land on the market. Fran

some time in making a survey of the
land and will soon plot it and cut it
into lots of various sizes that will
be offered to prospective buyers who
want fruit, tobacco, truck or other
farms. Prices will be based on the
cost of the land and a reasonable
profit, the desire being to get the
land into productive hands rather
than to get rich on every tract sold.
