Friday, Way v, 1( ) t2 'ft looks like Teddy. Now for the Democrat who can kick bis bat , dear «ut of the ring. 'The Presbyterians assembled at \ Bristol had two important ques ' tioos to settle—the elect infant clhk ind what to do with the Church of Rome. They decided on Che infants btit granted a respite to j*he Pope and his followers. , - ==-= 'lf there were more women like tfaeone la Charlotte who not only helped her husband in a personal • way to fight the demon drink, but mttmt before the courts and indited 1 the booze sellers, there would be leas violation of the liquor law. The Democrats of Martin Couuty instructed for John H. Small. This is tbe first time that such action has been taken- and was a wise course to pursue. No man in Con gress de'erves tbe commendation of his people more the man from the First District. In the common pailatice >f th.' day: "lie is always on biajob." from the number of ex hnrtcis. on the street Saturday, we are a i>;ople bndiy 111 need of the Gospel. There wtre live men set ting toitb their respective beliefs. No town will give a more respect ful hearing to the truth of the Scriptures, hut he irinii is not be iteviug ami doftig. Shall It Be Wilson? On June 6th, the Democrats will meet in Convention at Raleigh Then it will lie decided whether Wilson or Underwood shall secure the vote of the State at the Balti more Convention. It is very a;> parent that National Committeeman Joe Daniels is for Wilson as the News & Observer has !>een fighting his battles vigorously for weeks. No doubt, Wilson will get a cent of the vole from North Caiolinn if not all. The Democrats of North Carolina can be depended upon to do the right thing, and harmony should lie the main issue. It is time of all times to stand together an l tight the Reduhlican putty to a successful finish. The moment now is when the South combined with the West can dictate to the money interests of the North. These interests fire arrayed against Wilson especially. But then Wall Street is against any Democrat. They cauuot have sufficient "pull'' with the paity whicbr stands for principle. The fight for the nomination be twet; 11 the President and Roosevelt is said by Republican politicians to he "the most pitiable, execrable and disgraceful exhibition that has . ever been seen iu American poli tics " It should be an easy vic tory over either of them if the Democrats will do the sensible thing at Baltimore aud then kevp it up. Whether it is Clark, Wil son. Underwood or Harmon, the party should hew straight to the line and gain control of the govern ment before the arrogance of the Republicans reaches that point where the freedom of the masses will be assailed. "'.To your tents, O Israel." Be "Ueve in victory—fight for it and it be ours. Some very foolishly Chink that-if Teddy is nominated, there is none to beat him. Such people can not read the signs right, l Americans are still free and want ao third termer whose arrogance surpasses that of any king in the - annals of ancient times. Mystery of the \ Orchid Gown 5 "I am bead over heels In work," an nounced Dorothy, bursting In on Mar jory, "but I Juat bad to run orer to " bear all about laat night's dance. Who went with whom and what did evory . body weur?" "I don't know anything about laat night's dance (or tbe simple reason that I waan't there," answered Mar " Jory.

During the frenzy of the hunt I even 1 l'ourid myself looking In my thimble : jcase. No use! Thf.t dress was gone." "I can well Imagine your agony," . sighed Dorothy. ' "There was nothing lor me to do." ! said Marjorie, "but call up Jack, ex ! j plain matters and tell him It was im possible fo r me to go." ' "JUy heart bleeds lor you," mooned Dorothy. "Why, didn't you wear your pink?" I "Us at the cleaner's." "Vour yollow?"

Ancestry, p According to the Revue 3cientiflquo, It is possible to trace in modern and ' quite poor people the marks of armor -1 bearing ancestry. The wearing of . casques and armor presalng on the . necks and bodlea of generations pro duced certain birth-marks which can e be found today on members of f&mll e iea "not in good social position." But (nveatigation has proved tbey aro ot geatle descent t His Able Effort It was ten o'clock on Saturday morning. Nothing disturbed the stlll ' n«HB of the office except the click of ' the typewriter. Suddenly the door wm cautiously opened and an anxious face Inserted ' itself in the aperture. SatLJed that 1 the coast was clear and that he was unobserved, the body of the or.ee ' boy swiftly followed. But the stenog rapher's ears were keen, and without turning her head, sbe sang out sweet -1 ly: "Qood morning, Jimmy I thought you bad gone on a vacation." "Aw, bunk!" was the ungracious re joinder as Jimmy hung up his bat and smoothed his pompadour in front of the office glass, "Is the big boy In?" nodding bis head toward the Inner office. "Not yet; which Is a mighty good thing for you. Better get busy and distribute that mall. It has been ly- j lag there since tbe second delivery You deserve to lose your Job, .being | late so often. I'm going to call up j j your house nnd have a talk with your I father He ought to give you a good j ' lickin'."

"I did, nnd, gee, maybe he wasn't I sore! He told me If I couldn't treat 1 him with respect I could get out, ari l | a lot more things. Then I got mad, gatheml up my clotheH, put 'em In dud'a boat nuit case and went down to the Voorhees hotel. Some Eport, eh, Llzzlp? "I reglatored n3 a salesman from Toledo, and told the glnl: at the deck , I wanted a room with a bath. He J said. 'All right, sir," then yelled, 'F-r-r --r-r-ront!' "The hell hop came a-runnin'. grabbed my tyill case and took me up In tbe elfvator, opened the door of M-4, turned on the light, pulled down the shades and said: 'Anything more, sir?' !

The old man's afraid of me. I'm going to let him worry for a while. > | He'll want me back bad enough." "You're entirely too conceited If I was your father I'd let you shift, for i yourself. Where did you get the money to pay for your room? Hid you j have any breakfast?" "Did 1 have any breakfast?

I think ' your conduct Is outrageous." "Aw, forget It, and lot mo take a ! couple o' beans." "Well. I should say not. You can i waste your own money If you want ! j to. but. you can't waste mine."
