K. Gi aa Mcond-cIaM Batter, x New Bern, N. C June, 11. 1912. AN EQUAL DEMOCRATIC EN DORSEMENT FOB EACH. The North Carolina Democrats in convention at Raleigh June 6, gave equal endorsement to the de mocracy of Senator Simmons and Governor Kitchin, that cannot be successfully impeached. That the democracy of either should be ques tioned, could only come from prej udice, from personal desira to gain a possible political advantage thro' distorting actual fact. The Ral eigh endorsement has removed from possible campaigu controver sy the question as to the degree of democracy of F. M. Simmons, in his public senatorial service, or that of W. W. Kitchin, in his public acts as Governor of North Carolina. This is a happy clear up from a party standpoint of a political situation that might have developed and grown into party bitterness, through questioning the political party probity of two great North Carolinians. No element in a political cam paigu is so harmful, so disintegra ting in its effect upon the voters, as this question of political probi ty of leaders. It upsets in the vo ter's mind party standard of prin ciples. because those who are stan dard bearers are reported doubt- iui in ineir party sincerity, x ue voter must feel and acknowledge that honesty only, is in his leader, and this once realized, party plat form and principles are assured of a a a. k. fTL - hearty acceptance and endorse ment. Any question of personal Demo cratic integrity in the present sen atorial campaign in this State has been eliminated. The candidates must stand each upon his own in dividuality, must merit being the wisest selection to fill this great seat of Senator in the National Council. . THE COMING OF LOCKE CEAIG. Few things have in them possi bilities for such radically changed conditions as politics. This is no tably true in the present selection of a gubernatorial candidate , by the State Democratic party, com pared with the previous campaign leading up to the conven tion, and the struggle on the floor of the convention at r Charlotte, where all was noise and tumult, int bv the aiDiranfj throuehout tne Bute. , The nomination of Locke Craig tm a -1 aImmmI. m 1 mm m party vindicating itself, . and py ingjust tribute to this illustrious Democrat The time has passed quickly, but the yean passing each added a certainty to the noon ination at the Democratic Conven tion of 1912, of Mr. Craig, and this without solicitation or the usual preliminaries hading to a nomination. The very strife, the personal endeavor of candidates, the strenuous efforts 'of friends, theneiseand hustle of the con vention, with the struggle of the ballots of the previous gubernato rial eampaigo, found Its counter part ia the scene of June 6th 1912 at Raleigh, when a great party unanimously asked ona man to be Its staadard ttarer.

Hla helmet tossed as he looked back. '1 guess we airve got our little prejudices," he remarked sententious ly; "I know I have! I'm from tn south!" ' . . ,., And without another word, Mr. O'Keefe presented his broad back to us, and swinging his stick carelessly, sauntered doWn the drive. "What the deuce!" I exclaimed, looking after him.' "I say, Jenkins, what did he meant" Jenkins' face expressed mild re proach and surprise.. "Can it possibly matter, sir?" he questioned wearily. ' "Persons of ei ( that sort, you know, slrT" "Jove!" I uttered, relieved. Jenkins' coldly elevated brows dis missed the matter from further con sideration. He lifted the parcel with' a slight gesture of Inquiry. I had already come to a decision about it: I would send it to Billings! Perhaps the retrieving of the pajamas would have a soothing effect upon his poor mind! I gave Jenkins instructions. "H'm! Of course, manage to speak with him alone," I cautioned, having thought oi Judge Billings; "and don't forget the message." "Certainly, sir," said Jenkins atten tively. "I'm just to say: 'Mr. Light nut's compliments, sir, and he saya you'll know what to do with these.'" I nodded. "Exactly, and I'll wait here-pbut, oh, hurry, dash it!" And I looked longingly at the pavilion and tried to feel if my part was right. He did hurry! By J6ve, he was back almost Immediately and looking a bit rattled. , "Yes, air!" he coughed as I screwed my glass Inquiringly "I got there Just aa the judge went into his room across the corridor, end Mr. Billings opened the door the minute 1 said I was from you. I gave him the package and the message and he took ft over in a corner; and then in about a minute I heard him chuck it some where and say some long word. Ue came hack to me, looking kinder Irri tated and with his eyea snapping." "Ohl" I uttered nervously. "Er, what did he say, Jenkins T" Jenkins 'sighed, "Oh, well, sir, noth. lng aa you might say was anything, really; he Jerks out kinder crossly: 'Tell Mr. Lightnut, I say one thing at a time, and give him this!'" On the scrap of paper I clutched out of Jenkins' hand was a crazy scrawl of Just a half-dozen words: I'm a biped, not a centipede! I squinted through the dashed cblng twice, but could make nothing ot it I even tried it backward! "Jove!" I muttered perplexedly. "It's ram, Jenkins!" Jenkins' mouth tightened and re laxed. "H'm, what I thought, sir," be responded soberly. "The demon rum, sir!" CHAPTER XXV. "If Ever I Find a Man!" "I trust you've not been getting Into trouble, Mr. Lightnut!"

Yet she would have drawn it and her good one, too. Bhe said! "Jove!" I said feelingly. "Would you, really?" And I almost took her hand' and again remembered the Win dows! So I Just shot her a look. Her glorious eyes sparkled. "That is, I would if I had one," she said smiling; "but I'm afraid poor Arthur lost the last and only one. Sad, Isn't It?" "Oh!" I just felt my Jolly heart sink like what's-lts-name. Who the deuce was "poor Arthur?" This must be another some other thundering chap who had been engaged to her. And what a rotten, careless beggar, too, to have lost it that Is, If he really had! Ot course, he would say so, anyhow. And bow the deuce did he get It, In the Grst place did she give It to him, or did he By Jove, how I should have liked to punch Arthur's head! Always did hate a chap with that name! I flushed guiltily, but she did not see. For the moment, she Was looking off dream ily across the valley. "I wonder," she said pensively, "why It is one can never find another man like Arthur. Do you suppose It Is because he was the ideal?" For an Instant, I swallowed hard then I plucked up bravely, or tried to, don't you know. "Jolly likely!" I chirped. Then gloomily: "Oh, I say, you know, was he your ideal?" "Always!" the blue eyes llg'3d wistfully "I suppose it's because he was my first love; I found him ao brave, so noble-mannered, you know so simple!" Simple! Dash simple people never could stand them! Thing I admired was brains! Aloud I said gently al most humbly: "So glad you like him, don't you know did like, I mean!" "Did like? I do still!" her ton lifted in earnest protest "I love to think of brave, dear Arthur and his knights so few, and yet ao full of love, of gallantry and daring!" So his nights were like that! By Jove, I was devilish glad then that they had been so few that was soma comfort, dash it! I wondered If the beggar was dead. But what difference did it make now, after all? She waa mine now and ahe knew I knew It; that was why this sweet, ingenuous child was laying bare to me her past the darling I Really, I ought not to let her go on. "Never mind, them now," I urged soothingly. And heedless ot the win dows, I hitched a wee bit closer. "That's all past and gone and you and I will yet see as good nights aa they ever were." I spoke with assurance. "Don't you think so?" I added, softly. She sighed. "1 don't know I hope lol" she lingered dubiously over it, looking away again, the while her hand put . back the fleecy, golden what-you-call-lt that was snuggling .to her eyes. . I looked at the goddess like forearm, bared to above the el bow, where it slipped from sight un der the roll of sleeve, and thought of that night In my apartment when ahe had made me feel of her biceps, don't you know. ' "Yeu don't know?" I repeated with gentle reproach. "Oh, I say, you know! You know you know yon know I" By Jove, that sounded rather rum, but I knew she knew I knew she knew see? , She looked 'at me sidewlse, her slender forefinger pressing the halt parted lips slowly shaping In a curve. Then her little teeth flashed, Jewel like regular Jolly pearl aettlng In the frankest, sweetest smile! and then her glorious arm and wrist arched suddenly toward me. "Yes!" she said contritely, and with the most delightful, kindest Inflection and laugh such a laugh! a laugh gurgling melodious h, . dash It, yes; I mean Just that! like the flute notea In the overture to what's-hls-name that aortl , , "That's the way I love to hear a man talk!" she said warmly. "I think It takes an American to stand up for bis own place, his own times please!" And gently, but with a lovely smile, she withdrew her hand that I had folded close In mine. I let It go, for I saw her look toward the houae, and. of course, I understood Jolly careless of me not to have remembered but ahe would know from my nod and shrug that I comprehended. I sighed, and .my deep breath brought her gaze back to me and her flashing amlle as well. "And so," she said, lifting her little bin, "you think there are Juat "perfectly sure of it, don't ' tnowi" (TO T'Z tc:xr:v: ) ) Boy Taken to Hospital After School Flogging. ? NorfolkVa., June 4.
