I^—FOR TODAY—I RULES FQR RIGHT LIVINGHe hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly. and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God—Micah 6:8. HIS REPUTATION ALREADY MADE. “There seems to be,” announces The Atlanta Constitution, “a strong sentiment crystalMjiflg U} QftWji*- . man for Governor,—and, perhaps; the; man of a type who will.have to be draft ed into a wholly unselfish service for the State.” > The Moultrie, Ga., Observer agrees with the opinion of The Atlanta Consti tution but it goes still further and sug gests that Georgia would find it to her advantage to “cast about for a man of the capabilities of A. W. McLean, Governor of North Carolina, who was in no sense drafted by the people, but a man .the peo ple were delighted to have a chance.to en throne to the highest post within their political gifts because of their knowledge of him as a successful business man and their faith in him as an unselfish patriot.” The Moultrie paper thinks thafr a man precisely of the type of Governor McLean is Georgia’s need. It “would like to see Georgia £9 what North Carolina Hid, to wit: turn aside from the politicians and go to electing big business men andfstatesmen to;office. It has paid North' Catalina, and 1 ft will pay Georgia.” I Georgia no doubt \tould benefit from the administration such as Governor Mc- Lean is giving to North Carolina. When he ran for office he warned the people that he was no politician but rather a man who believpd (business principles should, be applied to'iljfc management of State affairs. He promised to use such a system if elected and he has carried out his promise. There is no doubt of the fact, we think, that people of North Carolina know more about the financial status of their State now than they have ever known before. They know of •the debts, the incomes and something of where the money is going. Governor Mc- Lean has nothing to hide and he is giv ing the factg to hie constituency just as the head of a business concern would t give facts to the stockholders of his company. , THE JUDICIAL CONFERENCE. A measure creating a Judicial Confer ence for the State was enacted at the last session of. the General Assembly at the suggestion of Governor McLean who feels that such a conference can befof great benefit to the courth of the State. The first meeting of the conference will be held in Raleigh next week. According to plans the conference will make a continuous study of court proced ure and «wfill endeavor to provide some way in which cases may be more speedily tried. There will be round table discus sions on the problems toward the solu tion of which the conference will lend itd efforts. Twenty lawyers and the judiciary of the State comprise the conference and these lawyers and judges should find it of great aid to meet occasionally and discuss the problems with which they are con fronted. Dockets in many districts are heavier now than ever before despite the fact that emergency and temporary judges are being used in an effort to dear them up. Something must be done and Gov ernor McLean' felt that such a confer. sL 'M tJLfuriUL*. *, , would solve the problem better than . would the creation of more judicial dis f, tricts and the appointment of more . judges. , £ CAN .ACCOMPLISH NO GOOD. ! I ■' 'W- > > j The Democrats of Denver,, Col., have taken a very unwise step with the orgun- I ization of a Smith-for-President Club. The less of this sort of thing the Demo cratic party has the better it will be. The West is not likely to vote for Gov ernor Smith for it has nothing in cqra* mon with him. There are few smarter raqn in the United States than the Gov ernor of the Empire State, but at the same time his. friends are doing him an injustice by the organization of such clubs, and if he can he should stop such practice. And William G. McAdoo should let pol itics alone. Already McAdoo clubs arc springing up, with members very active in many of theip. They are getting started now with the hope- that everything will be lined up for their candidate when the next convention is held. The fewer Smith and McAdoo clubs there are the more will the Democratic party prosper. The executive department of the-North Carolina State government consits of the governor, the lieutenant governor, the sec retary 6f state, the state auditor, the state treasurer, the superintendent ot, public instruction and the attorney gen eril, all of whom are elected by the peo ple for terms of four years. With the exception of the governor and the lieu tenant governor, all may stand for re election.

IT HAD WONDERFUL EFFECT ON HIM Concord Mill Man Says HERB JUICE la Best Laxative He Ever Used. “Your HERB JUICE has convinced me beyond a doubt that it is truly a wonder worker and does give almost in stant relief in the most severe cases of stomach and kidney trouble, and knowing from experience what it will do, I gladly add my name to help furth’er its cause,” said Mr. T. A. Rollins, connected with Brown’s Mill, and resides on White St., Concord, N. 0,, when he called to see the HERB JUICE man a short time ago. ‘Before I commenced . using HERB JUICE,” continued Mr. Rollins, “I had been a constant sufferer for a number of years with stomach and kidney trou bles. I could not sleep well at night on account of indigestion pains and would have to be up several times during the night I was bothered so much with myXkidneys. This broke me of my rest and sleep and I would arise in the morning all worn out and feeling worse than when I went to bed. It is needless to say that I tried many different kinds of medicines, but never found any gen uine relief until I started taking HERB JUICE, which I must admit is a truly wonder worker. The first few doses re lieved me 'of the heavy burning feeling after beating, and now after using it for some time. I feel as well as I ever did, bowels and kidneys are'regulated, I sleep , splendidly at night and get up in the morning feeling lit and ready for a bard day’s work. HERB JUICE has improv l ed my general condition of health so much and restored my health .after other medicines had failed, that I feel as though it is my duty to recommend it to other sufferers that they too may know about it, take it, and be benetitted in the same way. I expect to keep a bottle in my home from now on, when I need a good laxative, it will he HERB JUICE for me.” See the special HERB JUICE dent onalrator now at the Gibson Drug Store, «»Plahi the effects ot HERB JUICE that yon may get bast DINNER STORIES , DINNER STORIED .. eta 6 This Season’s Ford Joke.

CHAPTER Xl—Continued That night (our third in Maple White Land) we had an experi ence which left a fearful lznpres aion upon our minds, and made us thankful that Lord John had work ed ao hard in making our retreat impregnable. We were all sleep ing round our dying fire when we were aroused —or, rather, I should eay, shot out of our slumbers— by a succession of the most fright ful cries and screams to which I have ever listened. I know no sound to which I could compare this amazing tumult, which seem ed to come from some spot within a few hundred yards of our camp. It waa as ear-splitting as any whistle of a railway-engine; but whereas the whistle is a clear, me chanical, sharp-edged sound, this was far deeper In volume and vi brant with the uttermost strain of agony and horror. We clapped our hands to our ears to shut out that nerve-shaking appeal. A cold sweat broke out over my body, and my heart turned sick at the misery of it. All the woes of tor tured life, all Its stupendous Indict ment of high heaven, its innumer able sorrows, seemed to be center ed condensed into that one dreadful, agonized cry. And then, under this high-pitched, ringing sound there was another, more in termittent, a low, deep-chested laugh, a growling, throaty gurgle of merriment which formed a gro tesque accompaniment to the shriek with which it was blended. For three or four minutes on end the fearsome duet continued, while all the foliage rustled with the ris ing of startled bifrls. Then It shut off as suddenly as it bcgr.n. For a long time we sat in horrified si lence. Then Lord John threw a bun dle of twigs upon the (ire and their red glare lit up the intent faces of my companions and flickered over the great boughs above our heads. “What was It?” I whispered. “We have been privileged to said Lord Jo Vi n. "It was close to Lord John never hesitated, but running towards It with a quick, light step.-he dashed the flaming wood into the brute’a face. us—not farther than the glade." “We have been privlledged to overhear a prehistoric tragedy, the sort of drama which occurred among tho reeds upon the border of some Jurassic lagoon, when the greater dragon pinned the lesser among the slime,” said Challen ger, with more solemnity than 1 had ever heard in his voice. “It was surely well ter man that he came late in the order of creation. There were powers abroad in earlier days which no courage and no mechanism of his could have met. What could his sling, his throwing-stick, or his arrow avail him against such forces as have been loose tonight? Even with a modern rifle it would be all odds on the monster." "I think I should back my little friend, said Lord John, caressing his Express. “But the beast would certainly have a good sporting chance.” Suaunerlee raised hie hand. “Hush!" he cried. “Surely I hear something?” From the utter silence there emerged a deep, regular pat-pat. It was the tread ot eome animal— the rhythm of soft but heavy pads placed cautiously upon the ground. It stole slowly round the camp, and then halted near our gateway. There was a low, sibilant rise and tall —the breathing of the creature. . Only our feeble hedge separated us from this horror ot the night. Each of ua had seized his rifle, and Lord John had pulled out a small bosh to make an embrasure in the kadis. V "By George!” he whispered. “I think I osa see it!” rUa'..a. - ttin.a I stooped and peered over his shoulder through the gap. Yes, I could see it, too. In the deep shadow of the tree there was a deeper shadow yet, black. In choate, vague—a crouching form full of savage vigor and menace. It was no higher than a' horse, but the dim outline suggested vast bulk and strength. That hissing pant, as regular and full-volumed as the exhaust of an engine, spoke of a monstrous organism. Once, as It moved, 1 thought I saw the glint of two terrible, greenish eyes. There was an uneasy rustling, as If it were crawling slowly for ward. "I believe It is going to spring!” said I, cocking my rifle. "Don’t Are! Don’t fire!” whis pered Lord John. "The crash of a gun in this silent night would be - heard for miles. Keep It as a last card.” “If It gets over the hedge we’re done,” said Summerlee, and his voice crackled Into a nervous laugh as he spoke. “No, It must not get over,” cried Lord John; "but hold your Are to the last. Perhaps I can make something of the fellow. I’ll chance It, anyhow.” It was as brave an act as ever I saw a man do. He stooped to the fire, picked up a blazing branch, and slipped In an Instant through a sallyport which he had made In our gateway. The thing moved forward with a dreadful" snarl. Lord John never hesitated, but, running towards it with a quick, light step, he dashed the flaming wood Into the brute's face. For one moment 1 had a vision of a horrible mask like a giant toad's, of a warty, leprous skin, and of a loose mouth all beslobbered with fresh blood. The next, there was a crash in the underwood and our dreadful visitor was gone. "I thought he wouldn’t face, the fire,” said Lord John, laughing, as he came back and threw his branch among the faggots. “You should not have taken such a risk!" we dll cried. “There was nothing else to be done. If he had got among us we should have shot each other in tryln’ to down him. On the other hand, if we had fired through the hedge and wounded him he would soon have been on the top of us —to- say nothin' of giving our selves away. On the whole, I think that we are Jolly well out of it. What was he, then?” Our learned men looked at each v other with some hesitation. "Personally, l am unuble to clas slty the creature with any certain ty," said Summerlee, lighting his pipe from the Are. “In refusing to'commit yourself you are but showing a proper sci entific reserve.” said Challenger, with massive condescension. “1 am not myself prepared to go farther than to say in general tejma that . we have almost certainly been in contact tonight with some form of carnivorous dinosaur. I have al ready expressed my anticipation that something of tho sort ,might exist upon this plateau." “We have to bear in mind,” re marked Summerlee, “that there are many prehistoric forms which have never come down to us. It would be rash to suppose that we can give a name to all that we are likely to meet.” "Exactly. A rough classification may be the best that we can at tempt. Tomorrow some further 1 evidence may help us to an iden tification. Meantime, we can only renew our Interrupted slumbera” "But not without a sentinel," said Lord John, with decision. "We can’t afford to take chances In a country like this. Two-hour spells in the future, for each of ns.” “Then I’ll Just finish my pipe In starting the first one,” said Pfc- Tessor Summarise; and from that time onwards we never trusted 1 ourselves again without a watch- j man.
