the only Soothers 8tat that enj yk (T)
thU anenTtabla diattnotlon, and yet the
boaata of htf lag famished more soldiers
to the Confederate army than say other
State.
This year is the best opportunity of
electing en ex-Confederate soldier Got
ernor of this State. Four jears hence
the cry will be raked that no one Is snf-
flctently vigoroas to make the campaign,
and too old and fesUe to discharge tUe
duties of Governor. The Confederates
feel that this is thtir last chance to have
one of their number oar Chief Maglt
trate, and therefore they are terribly in
earnett and have selected as their candl
date one who Is In every leipect worthy
of being the GOvernofof oar grand old
State.
All true North Carolinians proudly
boast that oar soldiers were "the first st
Bethel and the test at Appomatox," and
It is emtaently appropriate that tht old
soldiers candidate1 should be one who
was lltortfif n4 truly one of the first at
Bethel and Oae of the lut at Appomatox
They present their candidate one who
Tolunteeied in 1891, as a private in Com
pany H, Of the "Bethel" rrgimeut and
was paroled at Appomit ix as Major of
the 44th r giment, and who iervtd most
gallantly and faithfully all those f.inr
years from Bethtl to Appomatox. Ha is
a true and magnificent type anliepie-
sentatlve of those brave men who offer
ed up their lives in defense of their State
and Is also the type and representative
of the courtly Southern gentlemen of
whom "(he old Sooth" was so jattly
proud. And with that he la a splendid
type and representative of the progress
ive basiaeasiaen efthe "new Southland"
and is oae who has at til times and un
der all circumstances, in peace and In
war, been true to every trust and faith
ful In all things.
Are the sarvivors of the gallant "Tar
Heel" soldiers aftlng too much when
they ask; for the nomination of so distin
guished wmrede. It is all very tight
and proper VP erect marble monoment.

honor the living also ? Why not honor
the dead and rejoice Ihs hearts of tbe
living soUtersof North Carolina by elec
ting so worthy a representative of them
Governor of our State f And especially
when this k the Irst opportunity of thus
honoring either the dead or the living.
With ail dae respect to the other most
worthy aas4reaJ4 for the nomination,
the old CoalederaUS appeal to the young
Democrats of North Carolina to give
them this, their last chaaos, of hoaorlag
one of their Bomber. The old Confeder

of Frank Davis, who murdered Charles
Pate of Lenoir countv on the afternoon
of September 30th, 1908, took place to

necessary fficers, acd few others, pet

visited by H-vs H Cunnioulam and W

cept that he expiesird a willingness for
the ordeal, ststicg 'hat he htd made his
De&ce for "the world to come" The
only exception was he said mat he found
It a hard thing t forgive one Philip
Howard, who bad swor.i agatoet blm la
the trial.

into eternity
The pulse seemed stroog for seven
minutes after the drop, which occurred
a 12.16, but In 11 minutes life was ex
tinct.
The body was allowed to bang for 80
minutes or nntll 1046. when It was cut
down, placed in a nice coffin and tnrned
over to bis friends.
The hanging was orderly throughout,
Its solemnity seeming to affect the spec
tators even more than it did the culprit
himself.
A considerable crowd gathered around
the jail, though nothing could be seen
from tbe outside, attraoted by a morbid
curiosity, but no demonstration was
made. It being the universal opinion'
that Davis had received "his just de
serts," The most affecting scene was when
Darts' brother was admitted In the fore
noon. The brothers engaged In a pri
vate conversation for some minutes,
embraced, -weeping the while. After
wards Davis became almost Immediate
ly calm, submitted himself to a bath, s
shtve, wis dressed In' an neat black suit,
hair combed, and announced himself
ready.whlle waiting In the cell he asked
for a smoke. Borne one gave him a

emotion shows by the condemned man
was a slight Inclination of the head, aad
he retained thronghont the entire horri

Even the muscular .twitching after the

BEAUTY OF SKIM
PURITY 0FBL00D
Andent and Modern Ideas on
These Interesting-.
Subjects.
UP-TO-DATE METHODS
For Purifying and Beautifying
the Skin. Scalp, Hair
and Hands.
Socrates called beauty a short-lived
tyranny, Plato a prlvflege of nature,
Theocritus, a delightful prejudice,
Theophrastus a silent cheat, Carneades
a solitary kingdom, Homer a glorious
gift of nature, Of Id a favor of the
gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
waa better than all the letters of rec
ommendation in the world, and yet
none of these distinguished authorities
haa left us even a hint of how beauty
1s to be perpetuated, or the ravages of
age and disease defied. Time soon
blends the lily and the rose into tha
pallor of age, disease dots the fair face
with cutaneous disfigurations and
crimsons tbe Roman nose with unsight
ly flushes, moth, if not rust, corrupts
the glory of eyea, teeth, and lips yet
beautiful by defacing the complexion,
and fills the sensitive soul with agony.
If such be the unhappy condition of
one afflicted with Blight skin blemishes,
what must be the feelings of those in
whom torturing humors have for
yearn run riot, covering the skin with
scales and- sores and charging the
blood- with poisonous elements to be
come a part of the system until death r
It is in the treatment of torturing,
disfiguring humors and affections of
the skin, scalp and blood, with loss of
hair, that the Cutlcura remedies have
achieved their greatest success. Orig
inal In composition, scientifically com
pounded, absolutely pore; unchange
able in any climate, always ready, and
agreeable to the moet delicate and sen
sitive, they present to young and old
tbe most successful curatives of mod
ern times.
