The llamas at the top of this column constitute the county democratic ticket A beetter Bet of men could not have been selected to fill the various offices for which they have been nominated. (t if* the duty of every democrat to go to the polls next Tuesday and cast 11 elean" balled, I jet 's see how many democratic ballots will be cast. Don't stay away from the polls say ing there will be enough votes without mine. The responsi bility of this government rests upon each individual voter, and he who stays away and fails to vote is not a good citi zen. Election is here, and Ameri cans are übo it to perform that duty which alone can preserve the liberties of this country. If this sacred duty bo neg lected, then it will be 11 short time before those blessings of u free government fur which tun forefathers gave their lives and fortunes, will bo sadly absent. A representative government is "just as good us the prople will it", and no better. If we wint good laws and just legislation, then send only those men to Congress and legislature, that are "above suspicion" and free from gralt and "trust influence''. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE There has been a great deal of sickness in this town duriug the past month, more than has ever been known in the his tory of the town... If what we have heard is true (and we have been reliably inform ed) about there being no fires at the graded school these cold days, there will be a great deal more sickness in the near fu ture- It is understood that the children are not allowed to re main in school to eat their lun ches, but, are sent out into the cold. It is bad enough to have to eat a cold lunch beside a nice warm (Ire, but when «t comes to eatiDgone in the cold like it has been for the piu>t few dttys, then it becomes al most unbearable.. The school trustees should see that there is plenty of eoal or wood at the school house and that there is some one to keep up the fires. We call the attention of our readers to Ihe announcement in another column of the meet ing of the Corporation Com mission to be held in Williams ton on the 14 th of November. The object of the meeting is to hear the people in the matter of an extra train for this sec tion This is the opporlunity of our jieople.

The Elizabeth City Kconcmist lias the following ti say ahou' dollar bills: "A dollar bill mav carry to its re ceiver the yilest infection. It is a sponge that takes up filth and di sease germs from every hand through which it passes and from everybody with whom.it comes in contact. We hope our delinquent subscriliers arc not holding back their dollar bills for tear they may carry some contagious disease to us. If they are, we assure them we are safe,- having had the mumps, whooping-cough, measles, scarlet fever, small-pox and a variety of other diseases. So bring along your dollar bills and we will give you a nice clean receipt for them." It is quite evident from the way Martin county |>eople are holding theit dollar bills that they are afraid the Editor will catch some of the disease germs their dollar bills contain. If this is so just whistle anil we will liorrow a fumigating apparatus aud oluce it in a cn«ivu««rr>». so the bills can be thoroughly fum igated liefore coining in contact with us.

The old and cheap way is called air cured; the later discovery and im proved way is called flue cured. In flue curing the tobacco is token from the fields and racked in barns especially built to retain heat and there subjected to a continuous high temperature, produced bv the direct heat of flame heated flues, which brings out in the tobacco that stimulating taste and aroma that expert roasting develops in green coffee. These similar processes give to both tobacco and coffee the cheer ing and stimulating quality that pop ularizes their use. The quality of tobacco depends much on the curing process and the kind of soil that produces it, as ex pert tests prove that this flue cured R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, WINSTON-SALEM, N. 0.

That's why chewers prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps cheers more than any other chewing tobacco, and that's why chewers of Schnapps pass the good thing along —one chewer makes other cnewers, until the fact is established that there are more chewers and more pounds of tobacco chewed to the population in states where Schnapps tobacco is sold than there are in those states where Schnapps has not yet been offered to the trade. A IOC. plug of Schnapps is more economical than a much larger ioc. plug of cheap tobacco. Sola at 50c. per pound in 5 C - cuts. Strictly 10 and 15 cent plugs. Notice.
