United States Senator Gore declar es that Republican National Com mitteeman Hamon offered him a $25,000, bribe. Republican National Committeeman Hamon declares that Senator Gore lies. Commenting on this situation, a Republican Organi zation newspaper organ here in Philadelphia sapiently observes: "It is still only one man's word against another's, and the knowledge that he would be unable to produce any evidence to prove the truth of his assertions should have led Mr. Gore to recognize the advisability of re maining silent. A man who will of fer a bribe will not hesitate upon oc casion to deny having done so, and if he had exercised ordinary com mon sense Mr. Gore must have re cognized the folly and the futility of his proclamation," Here is the Organization code of morals in a nutshell. The honest man who is offered a bribe must fw allow the insult in silence unless the* briber makes a point of con ducting the deal in the presence of two or three witnesses who can be depended upon to give truthful evi dence of the negotiations. If the fcnbee exposes the briber withoufi pos sessing sufficient proof of his turpi tude to send the tempter to jail he is * fool. The fact probably is that a great ra.my honest men in the legislative service. Federal, State and municipal, fba'e the Organization view. Because they do, the work of the lobbyist is comparatively safe and easy. Be caas; they do, some lobbyists and ex-lobbyists, who ought to be be hind the bars, are free to mingle w.ih respectable men and are high ly regarded by a large element of the community. if Senator Gore's charges are true, he may still be a fool, as the Organization organ in timates; but the Government ser vice would be cl.'aner if it contain ed a larger pi-opoition of fools of his variety.?Phi'adeiphia Record. Why He Advertises. A prominent business man of Michigan explains -why he advertises and why he uses newspapers for that purpose as follows: "I advertise in the newspapers be cause I am not ashamed of my goods or my work and to let people know about myself, my store and my stock; because I cater to the intelligent class, and they read the papers, and I believe in increasing by business; because I can talk to more people through the newspapers at a great er distance in less time and at a uiore reasonable price than in any oth er way; because my newspaper adver tising has brought me greater returns for the jeast expenditure of any adver tising I have done; because when I write an ad, I am not too stingy to Pay for placing it in the best pos ti'ole medium or to have it inserted k'O it is attractive; because I know ad is seen and read by every one in the bouse where the paper goes."?Exchange. Stagger* Skeptics. That a clean, nice, fragrant com pound like Bucklen's Arnica Salve will instantly relieve a bad burn, cut, ?cald, wound or piles, staggers skep tics. But great cures prove its a "?onderful healer of the worst sores, ulcers, boils, felons, eczema, skin eruptions, as also chapped hands, sprains and corns. Try it. 25c at Hood Bros. The Indians and Their Guardian. The story told by one of the Choc taws to the Gore Investigating com mittee Is sa'.d to have made a pro found impression upon the persons who heard It. But that cannot be due to cu.vthing in the story, for It j was not in we least unusual; It 1 u.uat be that public conscience--con science In public matters?has oeeu . stirred, ana this is encouraging. Thj Indians have been for more than a century the so-called wards of the nation. They have been rob- ^ bed by the Government and robbed by individuals under the eyes of the Government, and they have been bled on account of the neglect of | the Government. Whenever the speculators wanted hteir lands they hud to move to some lands that no white man hankered after. Whenev er the pioneers invaded a reserva tion the Indian had to sell out for what he could get and go anywhere he was sent. In many instances he was sent to a climate he was unac customed to, and under which he suf fered severely. In others he was planted on sterile soil and admonish- ! ed to cultivate it after the white man's style. He was often cheated by the Indian agents; he was regular ly cheated by the contractors who undertook to furnish him with sup plies. in tile present ease the Government did not rob him, and it did not ac tually Invite outsiders to rob him, it simply neglected him and gave the outsiders the opportunity of fleecing him. The Indian has streaks of ex treme &! rewdn'ess, but in the main he is still commercially an infant. He does not suffiicently reverence the Almighty Dollar, and he has not acquired the 1'abit of thinking for the future. Collectively he still needs a guardian. The Government assum ed this relation and undertook to sell bis mineral lands for him, and then it was too busy to pay any attention to his needs. The lands were not sold; the Indians waited impatiently for their money; McMurray saw his opportunity and came pretty near bagging $3,000,00?) in commissions. The Choctaws have within a few years paid lawyers $300,000, besides a large part of a fee of $750,000/^rhich! the Interior Department permitted McMurray to get away with, and they entered into wasteful contracts with McMurray because the Govern ment neglected them. It is about time that somebody got stirred up. ?Philadelphia Record. EUGENE N. FOSS. Eugene N. Fos? is a Democratic Congressman from Massachusetts, who, it is said, does not desire to go back. It will be remembered that he was elected late last winter to succeed the late Congressman Lover ing, who was a Republican. Lovering was elected in 1908 by a large ma EUGENE N. FOS3. jorlty over his Democratic opponent. But the tariff legislation enacted by the extra session of Congress last year so dissatisfied such a large num ber of voters in Lovering's district that when he died they were ready to put a Democrat in his place. Foss was elected by a large majority. Foss has a brother in Congress from Illi nois who is a Republican. Oldest Living Creature. What species of animal lives to the greatest age is a question that has not been satisfactorily answered, but It is contended that a giant tor toise brought to the London Zoologi cal Gardens from Mauritius about ten years ago is probably the oldest living creature whose age is positive ly known. This tortoise, which weighs a quar ter cf a ton, has lived at least 160 years, as historic documents prove. It is said that 100 years is a good old age for an elephant and that 10 other animals except certain birds and reptiles and the whale reach this span of years. In 1821 there died at Peterborough, in England, a tortoise whose age was said to be 220 years. One instance, at least, is known of a tortoise which was still growing when 80 years old.?Ex. 5 or 6 doses "666" v/ill cure any case of chills and fever. Price 25c. SONS OF PREACHERS. Facts Show Most of Them Prove Suc cessful in Life. A French scientist lias made an lavestteaMon to show that ministers' sons make up a disproportionately targe number of men in all conspicu ous calli'iRs. Hy study of the statis tics and by an even cursory observa tion, we can easily gee how striking ly true it Is, especially in our own country and Great Britain, and, at the saint time, how inaccurate and inexcusable the flippant disparage ment of preachers' sons one often hears. One glance ot the men in public life proves 'he contention true. The three most eminent instances to-day are Governor Hughes, of New York; Governor Harmon, of Ohio, and ex Governor Folk, of Missouri, while the lata Justice Brewer, whose place in the United States Supreme court bench Mr. Hughes has been chosen to fin. was the son of a missionary and born In Syria. It is no trouble to call up scores of them, know ing that thdy will be only a small J part of tho total list. There are Senator Palliver, Mr. Norton, secre tary to President Taft; Mornay Wil liams, Oliie James, Levi P. Morton ?but tho number is too large to write down. ? Three members of the Asquiih min istry arc ministers' sons?David Lloyd George, Augustine Blrrell and Rich ard Burdon Haldane. The late Sir Charles Tupper, of Canada, was a minister's son also. There is a long list of the illustrious dead who were potent in our past history. In this group Grover Cleveland, William Mc Kinley, Chester A. Arthur, Gen. John B. Gordon, Gov. James P. Eagle, Ed ward Everett, Henry Clay, and oth ers. It is not difficult to find the rea sons for this phenomenon. For one thing, they usually get a better ed ucation than other boys. The atmos phere of cul'ure was greater in their homes. Even to-day, when culture Is so diffused, the minister's home Is equal to the best. That both stim ulated the taste for an education and gave him a special opportunity. The leading schools of the past have been denominational schools, and minis ters have been their founders and trustees, and in many cases teach ers. For those and other good rea sons, their children have always been given special concessions and social encouragements. Brought up in homes in which the sense of public values and the sen timents of public welfare are in their atmosphere and education, they are trained in the most effective way for public life. It would reverse the laws of both heredity and environ ment if they did not rise above the average. They also see something of the world, for their fathers do. They usually grow out of the, provin cial and local. When Joseph W. Folk was chosen attorney of St. Louis, he went after grafters and startled the nation. His father was an eminent lawyer be fore he became a preacher. Of course, we must confess to such instances as Robert G. Ingersoll, the James brothers and James J. Jeffries. But they are freaks, what the scientists would call "sports," a curious case of atavism; or the pro duct of forces for which their father was not responsible, except in a general way; or the victims of that extreme altruism which often prompts to public service at the expense of private interests.?St Paul Pioneer Press. Champion Wheat Grower. Wake county Is the champion coun ty for corn and cotton, and I feel sure Randolph is the banner wheat county. On yesterday, August 8th, Mr. Paddy Swain, who lives a little west of Liberty, in this township, threshed off of four acres 208 bush els and didn't count any wheat that shattered out in handling, neither did he count any tailings. Mr. Swain planted 20 acres in wheat last fall and raised 620 bushels. On this same ground he raised near 400 bush els of oats last year. Mr. Swain started in this world some 20 years ago without a dollar and not a foot of land, and now he has three large farms, all joining.? News and Observer.

The germs cause chills, fever and ague, billiousness, Jaundice, lassitude, weak ness and general debility. But Elec tric Bitters never fail to destroy them and cure malaria troubles.
