Nothing so appropriate as a gift, or so nice; Nothing in value so great for the price, Nothing more appreciated, enjoyed to the full, Nothing insures you more of a pull. Though often repeated, al ways a joy As a present, a dandy, none quite ko handy, As a box of our high grade quality Candy. Piedmont Grocery Co, '3k WHAT LUKE McLUKE SAYS ABOUT SOME THINGS. Woman isn't as much of a mystery as she used to be. You can see most other in any department store win dow. It a man has a pain and a . hun dred dollars he gete am operation for appendicitis. If he has a pain and a dollar he gets a dose of. castor oil. The Legislature are butting into every thing and they might as well revise the marriage ceremony by compelling the bride to promise not to &hoot her husband. The new corset that funs from the waist to the knees will never be come popular because It deprives a girl of that sassy swing when she walks. ' v.-. . - Women have more sense than men. As soon as the child gets big enough to walk father wants to give away the baby buggy. But mother takes it and stows it im the cellar- When there are three small chil dren in the family and another one comes along, the neighbor women treat father as though he had been caught setting fire to an orphan asylum. . Talk isn't always cheap. Every now and then it costs a man the price of a woman's beard for the rest of her life. The goods missing in the holes In the peek a boo waists la probably made up into the petticcats that they don't wear. A girl would Just as Boon' have rett hair as amy other kind if it wasn't for the color. A proud mother of a day-old Mby will gaze at the little red faced, stub noesd, baldheaded bundle ufi flesh- an tell you that it Is the perfect image of its father. A woman may hang en, to the world and the devil but she is al ways willing to renounce the flesh after she loses her waist line. When a woman buys a dog she wanits 'his pedigree, but she isn't that careful wheal- she takes a hus band. "' TO THE VOTERS OF THE TOWN OF reidsville; An effort is being made to de feat me for Solicitor of the Re corder's Court for the reason that I have tried to enforce the law in this town since I came into office. There are certain people working against me for the reason that In the enforcement of the lav they have been' hurt and their reputa tions somewhat impaired. - These same people a little more than two years ago petitioned the board of commissioners of the town to elect me Solicitor. I have the peti tions With their names attached now in my office. They are urging now that I should not be reelected, crit icising me for deeds committed sev eral years ago. I hope I am a better main now than I was at the time these people petitioned for my election. I believe the people of Reidsville know that I am. If I was worthy of the Bupport of these people then, why not now? It Is simply because a record of fidelity to duty and strenuous law enforce ment does not appeal to them. They would crush me and humiliate me by defeating me because I have dared stand in that court for the majesty of the law. They petioned for my reelection in 1911, and now psk the people to refuse me re election because they say my past life makes me unworthy. f I appeal now, on the eve of this election, to the citizens of Redds vllle Irrespective of faction or party, who believe in law enforcement, to help me and not permit these peo ple to defeat me and turn me out of office because I have dared do my duty. I appeal to the law abiding color ed citizens of the town who vote to help me, because I have tried in tfhe administration of the office to treat them fairly and Protect their race as Justice demanded. I have made mistakes in the ad ministration of the office of Solici tor, but I have tried conscientiously to do my duty, and now in the midst of a campaign to defeat me and humiliate me, I make this ap peal to men who believe in Jus tice and fairness. I do not doubt tjhe result When reeVcteri t shall redediccate whatever ability God has given me to a strenuor enforcement of the law in Ih'r community, and I shall as I have in, the past, find comfort in th fact that the best people approve my cause.

Airy.-- A large crowd witnessed the pre sentation of the two-act comedy. "Brown's Arrival." at the Graded I School Friday night. The comedy, i under ' the personal direction of lTrs. John T. Adams, of Indianapo lis, given for the benefit of the Episcopal church, was a big success every way. .'. The play has its setting in the country home of Miss Rebecca Luke, who Is fond of cats, a fact that brings no small amount of annoyance to the minds or ner niece, Katherine Rogers, and her nephew, Jack Royson, a college man who is fond of yachting. On the day with which the play deals, Miss Luke is expecting an architect with plans for a home for destitute cats which she Intends to have built; Jack is expecting a college chum, Ned Royson, and Katherine, or Kitty, Is expecting a girl friendMarion Bryant,whom she calls "Mr. Bab" The unexpected arrival of Robert Brown, a law clerk, an ef feminate man who has called to see Miss Luke and whose Identity be comes lost so entirely in, a maze of strange names that he almost doubts bis existence, causes no end of hu morous complications, which are un raveled In the second act. Jenkins, an English butler, and Patty, a maid who loves dramatic art, take no meagre parts in adding to the conjfuskn of the much abused law clerk. Mrs. Scott Fillman, in the role of Rebecca Luke, "Aunt Becky," prov ed highly capable. V Katherine Rogers, who, perhaps, more- than any other character in the play, Is responsible for the hu exceedingly well done by Miss Ida exceedingly well done yb Miss Ida Womack. Miss Irene Butler was win some as "Mr. Bob" and easily won the unstinted favor of her audience. Jenkins Is a splendid specimen of the English butler as he is portray ed o. the stage, and in the hands of Mr. Henry Clark this role was pre sented to good advantage. The part of Patty, the maid, was portray ed by Mrs. Manton Oliver. ' As Jack Royson, Mr. Ben Garter Trotter gave an excellent redltion of the part. Mr. Lawrence Clark handled the role of Robert Brown with much skill, contributing largely V the riot of fun that pervades the two acts of the play. Special mention should be made of the chorus work. The chorus of seventy little girte in white, upon whom the curtain first rose, sang "Hello, Mr. Moon Man" in - a most pleasdng manner. The minuet by fifty tots, was the occasion for hearty applause as the participant made their grace ful bows to their respective partners and "tripped the light fantastic In manner of deserving credit to those who trained them. Immediately following this the chorus, "Lula Lee," was sung in a thoroughly delightful manner. Mr. Mortimer Cosby and Mies Ruth Bur ton rendered the solo parts very ef fectively. The military chorus, composed of eight girte rendered delightfully "Mr. Yankee Doodle, with Mr. Alex. Irvin as sollst. Lithe and graceful. Misses Lady Ilairls and Eunice Pritohett rendered the "Boogie Boo," and this number won much deserved applause. Miss Kate Anderson, was at her best in her solo which was encored.

PROGRESS XAdvertiBementl.- The news of the death of "Uncle Joe" (Mr. Joseph H.) Fetzer comes as a distinct shock to many and great sadness to the peopl gener ally of this community. Evrybod knew him, personally or through the columns of The Review, to which he had beeen a contributor from time to time for a long number of years. And everybody who knew "Uncle Joe" loved him. The peaceful end to his long lifi came Sunday at th home of T Sheriff T. F. Rankin, near Reids ville, where he spent much of his time in recent years. He was born April i, 1934, and was therefore 79 years and one month old. He was a member of St. Barnabas Epis copal church of Greensboro. His wife died several years ago, and two sor survive (Messrs. Frank Fetzer. of Greenwood, S.C., and J.A. Fetter, of Reidsville. "Uncle Joe" was stricken with. Paralysis some time ago, and too-; who knew of the seriousness of his condition were not surprised the news that he had passed away Sunday. He retired from ; active business life many years ago, and spent his tlm In the country new Reidsville or at mountain resorts throughout the State. In his younger days he was an old-time printer and newspaper man and even in later years he had a fondness for writing for the press, and in Ms peculiar and highly Inter esting style always Injected InAo his letters enough of sunshine and hu man Interest features to cause the papers to be delighted to get his copy. He was especially popular among young people. The remain were brought to Reidsville Sunday night and carried to the residence of his nephew, Mr. C. H. Fetzer, where fihey remained until noon yesterday, when they Were taken to Greensboro. A short ser vice Was conducted at the " grave artd the body was laid to rest In Green Hill cemetery there. SOMETHING ABOUT THE ' JAPANESE ALIEN LAW. There has been much talk about the Japanese barring aliens from holding land in their country, but it turns out that such is not true. While ths may not Interest Amer icans to any great extent, because Americana would be foolish to want to Invest In property In a country which Is sq touchy and with which Americans have more or less strained relations, still it is inter esting to note the. true status of the case. Dr. R. B. Tesusler, di rector of St. Luke's International Hospital at Toklo, explains ' the Japanese position as to aliens holding land as follows: "Under Japanese law there are at least two methods whereby foreign ers may own land in Japan. The first is by the right of sperflcles. This gives the title clearly and legaly to the purchaser for 999 years. The only possible restric tion on this form of ownership which might arise would be if a mine or oil were discovered on the Property. "The second way for foreigners to hold land In Japan Is by the forming of a 'Shadan.' This is a group of three or more foreigners legally incorporated and constituted to hold land in fee simple any where in Japan for the purpose men tioned in the articles of Incorpora tion." , ".: . . a ' I t President Wilson went to New. Jer sy last week to confer with legtsla-. tors on the subject of Jury reform. John T. Pullen, a Prominent banker and big hearted philanthropist, died at his home In Raleigh Friday.
