In a recent issue of The Gazette
we put the question, "What's tne
matter, Democrats. Don't you want
Woodrow re-elected?" And in re
sponse to this query Mr. W. J. All
ran, of Cherryville, writes the fol
lowing interesting letter to the edi
tor of The Gazette:
"Yes, sir, we do want Woodrow
re-elected. Who said we didn't?
It's a rel pleasure to me to enclose
herewith $1.00 for The Gazette-
Wilson camapign fund. My con
science would condemn meSff I let
such a worthy cause as this pass
without lending it my support. Let
the good work go on; we must have
WoodroV for four more years."
Evidently there is no doubt in the
mind of Mr. Allran as to whether ne
wants Wilson re-elected. As a mat
ter of fact he wants him re-elected
&nd he wants him mighty bad, and
his faith in the Democratic party Is
of the kind thai cannot be shaKen.
Mr. Ed Rankin, of this city, tele
phoned The Gazette office late Fri
day afternoon saying:
"I believe you're right about con
tributing to the Wilson campaign
fund at home. Come by the tsore
I've got a dollar for you."
Clerk of the Court C. C. Cornwell
made his contribution Saturday and
said:
"I am going to give one dollar,
one vote and all of the influence I
can to help re-elect -Wilson this
fall."
"Here's my dollar for the Wilson
fundV' said Mr, D. A. Page yester
day. "I don't believe in changing at
this time and besides Wilson is the
best president we've had in many
years."
"Here's a dollar for the Woodrow
Wilson fund", said R. B. Babington,
general manager of the Piedmont T.
& T. Co., yesterday as he handed
The Gazette a full-grown simoleon.
"He's the biggest, best and safest
President we've ever had and we
want him to serve four more years.
Push the good work along."
Dr. Mc. G. Anders handed The
Gazette representative a dollar yes
terday for the Woodrow Wilson
campaign fund. "There's no doubt
about Wilson's being re-elected,"
said Dr. Anders, "and I want to do
my part." s

The Bugs Journey here for four

be called at 2:30. Morganton has
always been a good opponent ol
Gastonia and the games this week
will be the more exciting because
now there are only two games dif
ference in the two teams. Morganton
has lost only two less than the local
team, but Gastonia has played two
more games. Both teams have won
the same number ten each.
Because of the lack of interest In
the games at Kannapolis Friday and
Saturday, there was no report made
to the Charlotte papers, but the
Western Union Telegraph Company
furnished local fans with the inlor
mation by innings Which showed
that Gastonia won both contests.
Saturday's game resulted in a 1 to
0 victory for the locals, while Kan-

game, 3 to 0. Staunton pitched a

All the symptoms, say the physician,

CROSSES THE ATLANTIC.

Bringing $l,OOO,000 Cargo of
Oiemirols and Dyestuffs Made
4,O00-MUe Trip in 17 Days.
The world's first submarine mer
chantman, the German underwater
liner Deutschland, anchored below
Baltimore Sunday night after voy
aging safely across the Atlantic,
passing the allied blockading squad
rons and eluding enemy cruisers
watching for her off the American
coast. She carried mail and a cargo
of 7 50 tons of costly chemicals and
dyestuffs, and is to carry home a
similar amount of, nickel and crude
rubber sorely needed by the German
army.
Fifteen days out from Bremerhav
en to Baltimore, the submarine
reached safely between the Virginia
capes at 1:45 o'clock this morning
passing in on vthe surface covered by
a heavy pall. of darkness which set
tled over the entrance of the bay with
the setting of a telltale half-moon.
Once inside, the visitor threw cau
tion aside and began shrieking his
siren, signaling a pilot and at the
same time attracting the attention of
the tug Thomas F. Timmlns which
had been wating in the lower bay for
nearly two weeks to greet the
Deutschland and convoy her Into
port.
Not a Square Deal.
Miss Mason was explaining to her
Sunday school class the lesson for
the day, the subject being the tares
and the wheat.
"Now, remember, children, the
tares represent the bad people and
the wheat the good ones."
"Why, Miss Mason!" exclaimed a
rosy-cheeked boy, who had been lis
tening through the lesson with deep
interest. "Did you say the tares are
the bad folks and the wheat the
good ones?"
"Yes, James," replied the teacher,
pleased at the lad's interest.
"Well, that's funny, I think!" re
marked the matter-of-fact child.
"It's the wheat that gets thrashed;
the tares don't." Chicago Herald.
An advertisement for help at the
"Zoo' was answered by an old-fashioned
Southern darky. The keeper
accepted him and he asked: "What
do you want me to do, Boss?"
"We want you to help move a py
thon, a big snake from cage to an
other." ,
Rastus began to back towards the
door and the keeper said: "You
need not get scared there will be ten
of us and we can manage it."
No sah, Boss, said Rastus.
"They may be nine o' you but they
won't be ten o' us."

What to Io for Insect Bites,
State Health Bulletin.
Everybody going on country trips
or to the woods this summer should
know what to 'do for Insect bites, es
pecially those who intend camping
out. Besides, it's not a bad thing; '
to know if you are going to stay at
home within four walls. The most
common bites or stings are those ot '
the bee, wasp, yellow jacket, spider,
horsefly, yellow fly, red bug or chlg
ger, flea, mosquito and bedbug. '
In case of a sting of any kind the
first thing to do of course is to r-
move the sting. This can best be
done with the point of a knife or
needle but care should be taken not
to break the skin for fear of Infec
tion. Then the next, best thing, per
haps, is to apply ammonia water or
soda water to the affected parts.
In the case of bites as well as of
stings, when the sting Is removed, as
a rule, a paste of common baking
soda applied to the affected parts or
these bathed la ammonia water is
all that is necessary. V Where the
noi8onous effect is severe, however,
send for a doctor. In the meantime, :
the patient should lie down and keen
QUiet. .W'r'Ai i
An application of a 50 per cent so
lutio of a saturate solution of pot"
assium permanganate which you get
at the drug store Is very efficient for
insect poisons and for the poisons or
plants, too, such as poison ivy and
sumach.
