There is little doubt that a strong sentiment in thi county has crys talized in his favor as evidenced by the continuous swarm of visitors, m- luding many of the most alert polit ical leaders of the county, who as sured bim of their support during his visit hero. His visit hsa done much to arouse enthusiasm among his supporters and they will leave no stone unturned in is behalf. Not enly are the ties of friendship fonrod lack in the day of the Bus- sell and ISutler regime, when the Dem ocratic host wore led to victory un der the guidance of Senator Simmons and the Constitutional amendment waa adopted, thereby putting an end to negro dmninilion . of polities .in North Carolina, bringing him sup porters, but many of his staunchest supporter say they are for him sole- on account of his worth and achievements during the ten years he has been in the Senate. - Bisr friend point with pride te the fact that should Mr. tSimmona be re elected he will be the ranking dem ocratic member of the finance eommit- tce; the most powerful legislative committee in the world, on account of the. retirement of Senator Bailey.

"Prudent SaTinf." A Hero In Ufe. Reformed Church Corinthian. A great deal was noted in the pa pers concerning the heroic deed of Senator Luke Lea, of Tenn., when blood was transfused from him to his wife in order that the life of his wife would be saved. But there are others just as heroic. Mrs. A. W. George, who is better known to our people as Miss Fannie Lippard was at the pint of death in a hospital in Greensboro and her hie could only be saved by the transfusing of blood. So her heroic brother was willing to make the sacrifice and now sue is im proving. All praise to Mr. Crooks Lippard. We trust that Mrs. George may. soon fas. walL. returned the Are, but were complete- ' ly outranged. Information is ineom- ' plete as to whether th Turk coffer- ; ed casualties or whether Tripoli has ' surrendered. It ia reported from Borne that n- ' gotistions for ths surrender of Trips- , Ii will be entered into tomorrow.- It is also uncertain whether any Ital ians landed, but the first contingent " of the expeditionary fore haa left ' Italy and, according to Malta reports, the occupation of Tripoli will begin Thursday or Friday by the landing of contingents' from th warships. The postoffiee and the Italian con sulate at Malta are accepting mail for Tripoli and th consul ha prom- . ised newspaper correspondents that they will be allowed to land in Tripo li Friday. While Italy is thus carrying out the program of establishing herself in Tripoli, the Turkish government ia in helpless tangle. The ministry ts . virtually non-existent, dissension be tween the Young Turk and th men of the older regime' rendering the . adoption of any definite line of policy impossible.
