in the aporoachinir election f.r roun vi
officers and a Legislative ticket, and al
ready several aspirants for political
honors have announced their intention
of B.iking the voters' support in the

11th.
There are three avowed candidates
for the nomination of Sheriff, these
being Messrs. John D. Meador, of neat
stoneville, who until recently was one
of Sheriff Pinnix's deputies, Mr. Wm
W. Sharp, a planter of the New Bethell
section, and the present incumbent,
Sheriff M. F. Pinnix, who has recently
consented to run again.
For clerk of the court Mr. J. V.
Price is again a candidate, and has one
opponent, Mr. J. T. Smith, of Spray,
formerly of Reidsville. These two
gont'emen had a pretty contest for this
for this nomination four years ago, and
their campaign wan conducted on such
high plane many compliments were pa d
them. ...

Small, a prominent young school, man
of the Wentworth

up a very tine practice and is averse to
accepting political honor at this tune,
but his supporters bank on his loyalty
to the party and assert that he is to
good a Democrat to decline any t all
made upon him.

Mosquitoes Are in Sieusou.
Now thai the mosquito season is
upon us, some observations that have
been hid before the French Academy
of Medicine by Dr. Chatlin have a cer
tain interest for all crowded centres
of population. Dr. Chatlin points out
that stagmni pools, gutters, water
tubs and bottles of standing water are
the external source of propogation,
which can easily be dealt with either
by keeping the water n the flow, by
constant swilling or by laying ovei the
stagnant 'surface a thin layer of pe
troleum. In the case of takes and
ponds f'mh will do the cleansing work
with complete efficiency, But the
greatest danger is a tangle of dtains
open to the air. There Hushing of a
very thorough kind will alone serve the
purpose. London Globe.
A young man went to a preacher to
get married, and the preacher auked
"How old are you, John?" He replied
"I am half as old as my father. He is
two years older than my mother,,.: My
eldest sister is two years older than
my youngest sister. My youngest sis
ter is four years older than my young
est brother.". How old are they al
together?" asked the preacher. The
young man replied that the five chil
dren are seventeen years older than
his father and mother. How old is
John and each of the children und his
father and mother? Exchange.
Well, if the young man
isn't married until the preacher gets
his age figured out, Methuselah would

Thin
, "Pparrnt excess m appropriations is
I'oit than accounted for in the folloW-
ing items:
"For the Isthmian Canal $42,447,000;
under the Statehood bill $10,250,000:
toward the constructions of new build-
j ings authorized at this session $10,321,-
ooo, making a total of ?b3,01b,000, to
which might properly be added $5,000,
000 for San F rancisco.
Other notable increases are $3,000
000 on the agricultural bill for inspec
tion of meat products, and $10,600, 000
on account of the Postal service.
"The total apparent appropriations
made at this session, 880,183,301, do
not constitute in their entirety
charge against the revenues of the
government for the next fiscal year
for the reason that there must be de
ducted from this sum deficiencies that
are chargeable to the service of the
current year and to meet expenditures
already incurred on account thereof,
approximating at least $35,000,010.
This sum includes 16,000,000 for the
Isthmian Canal.
"There should be deducted $57,000,
000 for the sinking fund, which may
not be met in whole or part, as it is
purely a matter of discretion with the
secretary of the treasury to utilize the
surplus in the treasury fur that pur-
"There should also be deducted the
sum of $22,000,000 which is estimated
and included in the whole sum of ap
propriations to be paid out of deposits
of national banks in redemption . of
circulating notes of banks. The de
posits are not credited ss a part of the
revenues of the government, and there
fore redemptions made from the fund
thus arising should not be charged to
expenditures.
"The amount of $25,45ti,415appropri
ated for work on the Isthmian Canal
during the next tided year is payable
from or reimbursed to the treasury
out of proceeds of bonds that are au
thorized to be sold for that purpose and
should also be deducted from the sun
af appropriations tor 1907.
"The sums mentioned amoun to
mire than $139,o00,0uo, and when de-
ducted leave appropriations, ot on:y
appropriations, of
$741,000,OJO to be met out of the reve
nues of tne next fiscal year.
"In my judgment the total apparent
resources of the government next
year are not less than $781,573,000 or
at least $40,000,000 in excess of ap
propriations that may be chaigid
against them."
Mr. Livingston of Georgia, the rank
ing Democratic member on the appro
priations committee of the house made
a brief reply to Mr. Tawney, and war
ned the Republicans that unluss they
provided some means to increase the
revenues that the next Congress would
be called upon to explain for the de
limit .He will submit a statement of
appropriations later. ' '.

Samuel S. Osborne, the young man
charged with bigamy, was bound over
t j Superior co .rt under a bond of $300
at a preliminary healing before Mayor
Murphy yesterday afternoon.
The case was c ntinued from last
Saturday on the ground that Osborne
had been given no time to summon his
witnesses, and yesterday Col. J. A.
Barringer, his counsel, asked for an
other continuance on the ground that
the witnesses had not responded to the
summons. Col. J. T. Morehead, who
represented the prosecution, however,
urged the hearing, and after much par
leying had told them that the first mar
riage was illegal because wife number
one already had a husband or two The
Rev. L. F. Johnson testified that he
had recently married Osborne to a
young woman of this city.
A smiling, and seemingly much ex
cited, rosy cheeked man by the name
of Wyrich, was then introduced by the
State. lie swore chat he was in Salis
bury Monday night, and had seen Jessie
Lynn, the woman who has alleged Os
borne first married. His evidence was
no surprise to the defense, who makes
no claim that the woman is dead, but
rest their case upon the ground that
the marriage was null and void, since
the woman already had a husband. Col.
Barringer, however, saw a chance to
have some amusement at the exnense
of the witness and the cros-i-examina-tion
was conducted something like the
following:
"Now, Mr. Wyrick," began the law
yer, "you say you know the woman
ulr. Osborne first married?"
"Yes, sir," was the smiling reply.
"And you also know, or knew, his
present wife, didn't you, Mr. Wyrick?"
continued the liwyer.
"Yes, sir," and the smile grew lar
ger.
And you intended marrying her,
were even tngaged to her, were you
not, Mr. Wyrick asked the merciless
attorney.
'Yes, sir," and the smile changed
into a gnu.
"But," continued the interrogator,
"you let this fedow, Osborne, cut you
out and even marry your girl; isn't that
a fact?"
"Yes, sir," and the beaming counte
nance of the witness was suddenly
flooded with a scarlet tinge.
The witness could not positively say
that Ofborne had ever married Jessie
Lynn,, and his entire testimony wad
thrown out by the court.
Col. Morehead contended that the
only defense Osborne offered was that
while in a drunken condition he had
married the Lynn woman at Salisbury.
He heard she was already blessed with
a husband and deciding that he was no
longer bound to her, n arried another
woman. s
On the other hand Col. Barringer
argued that the first marriage was null
.. , . ,
a divorce from the first woman he mar
ried because the marriage was void.
The mayor decided to let the higher
court decide the matter and he bound
Osborne over to court with the remaik
t.iat he "believed marriage too sacred
a state to be trafficked in any such
manner." -Greensboro News.

Renominated for a Fifth
Term In Congress.
The Democracy of this district last
night, for the fifth time, unanimously
nominated W. W. Kitchin to represent
the district in Congress. The conven
tion was held in Greensboro and fully
250 people were present. It was a
brief but harmonious meeting, lasting
just an hour.
Mayor O. B. Eaton, of Winston-Salem,
pre ented, in a ringing speech of
several minutes the name of Hon. W.
W. Kitchin, the present member from
this district. Mr. Eaton said that it
was a great honor to De nominated for
the fifth time in this district, in which
there are bo many able men. he paid
a high tribute to the Congressman and
his course in Congress. J. W. Forbis
moved that the nomination be made bv
acclamation and the motion went
through with a whoop.
After thanking the convention for
the honor conferred upon him, Mr.
Kitchin plunged at once into the dis
cussion of political conditions in the
district and nation. He said that he
realized that some of the Democrats in
the district did not agree with him in
all matters, but he could not expect of
his every act to meet the approval of
all, for he did not agree with the views
of all Democrats.
The speaker said that the man who
approved the course of President Roose
velt approved the Democratic platform,
lor rreaiuent Kooseveit a views are
synonomous with the principles of the
Democratic party.
The Congressman Baid he would be
willing to canvass the district with the
candidate tho Republican convention
may nominate. He here lef erred to
his position in Congress in opposing the
special appropriation for fast mail ser
vice. Mot Thai One Meaning,
Mr. Jas. F. Anderson, who is a trav
eling man and "on the road" much of
the time, was talking the other day
about the use of the expression, "on
the road" to designate a traveling
man's (drummers they used to call
them) business. A colored tenant of
mine," said Mr. Anderson, "was in
the habit of sending his rent weekly by
his boy. Some weekB passed and
neither the boy nor the rent showed up
and meeting the old man I asked him
where the boy wa?. 'He's on the
road,' was the answer. What's he
traveling for?" Mr. Anderson asked.
'Oh, he.s out heah on de chain gang. "
Mr. Anderson thinks it would be well
in using the expression, "on the road,"
to specify. It may mean one is a trav
eling salesman or it may mean he has
a chain on his leg and is helpimr h'l ld-
irg county roads. -Statesville Land
