Democrats are not wealthy folks.
President Wilson is about not to find
a sufficient number to fill the diplomatic
posts,those positions requiring" the Out
lay r'fit a .good deal more money than
they pay. What's the matter with
raising the salaries? This government
is able to pay for what it needs and
it surely needs men of democratic
tastes 'and tendencies in all foreign
courts; Men in this country who
have piled up huge fortunes unfortunate
ately have as a general thing lost the
simple,, tastes and sympathies which
are especially needed to qualify them
to, present a republic at the seat of
government of a foreign country.

THE., FRIEDMANN TREATMENT.
The . proof of the pudding is the
chewing of . the bag. Nine out of ten
patietns who received the Fried mann
treatment for tuberculosis on Mon
day of last week reported on Saturday
that ' they were feeling better and
stronger' in every way, also they had
gained from three-quarters of a pound
to four and one half pounds. If Dr.
Friedman n has not found the cure for
Consumption some other- doctor or
scientist will find it. Of course it is
possible that the improvement in the
condition of the patients who took
the treatment is only temporary and
it . is too early,all the experts say, to
pass an intelligent opinion on the effi
cacy of the treatment. .
: NOT WITHOUT PRECEDENT.
" When Secretary of State Bryan on
. St, i Patrick's Day predicted the early
coming of Home Rule for Ireland, some
of the Tory' papers in London pounced
oa him viciously as having twisted the
. tall f the British Lion inordinately
and unnecessarily . Such a breach of
diplomatic amenities had never been
beard of before according to those
.newspapers.
Friends of Mr. Bryan are now re
calling ; what Lord Salisbury said in
,1896,. when Bryan was defeated for
the-Presidency by McKinley and
' when the then English premier designat
ed the defeat of Bryan as a t -iumph for
the 'principles "which lie at the base
of all human society." '
With Mr. Bryan at the head of the
Department of State, "diplomatic ac
tivities promise to be divested of some
of the sharp-practice which has here
tofore;' seemed to be their distinguished
characteristic. ,

of baseball played by Bingham resulted
in a .vfcotry,for '.the' school over her
opponents by .a decisive, victory- of
eight to one.",-' i -; " ( '.."-? j . '
' Col. and Mrs. Gray seldom leave
their work at the school but recently
have. ha , several., pleasant visits to
Durham,; ': Upoa returning from the
last one, they had the pleasure of talk
ing with' Mr-: Frank Dalton of Greens
boro, an old Bingham ite who was at
the school in the seventies, under Col.
Wm.' Bingham, father of Mrs. Gray,
Mr. - Dalton interested them greatly
by pleasant reminiscences of his school
life and among other things, he called
the roll of the cadets who were at
Bingham during the years he was in
school. The recollection of the roll
call so accurately aftef the expiration
of over forty years shows how deeply
interesting to a boy the events of his
school life are. Several years ago, Mr.
Dalton entered his son at. Bingham
and he followed in his father's footsteps,
doing exceedingly "well in the school.
Mr. Dalton is now one of the most
prominent business men in North
Carolina.
Clarence Briggs, who was at Bing
ham last spring has returned again to
the school. ' All of his friend were
glad to see him.
Today, Col. and Mrs. Gray were
pleased to receive an invitation to
the wedding of Dr. Addison G. Brenizer
of Charlotte. After standing high at
Bingham, Dr. Brenizer continued a
successful course at the University , of
North Carolina and afterward -t at
Berlin. He is now one of the most
skillful surgeons in North Carolina.
Miss Isabella W. Gray had a pleasant j
visit to Hillsboro Saturday.
Mr. Henry Blanchard, the efficient
coach of the baseball team, has just
returned from a trip to Apex, Durham
and other points east. Henry says that
he was very lonsesome when he was
away from Bingham and wanted to
get back to the old place.
NEW BERN HAS JOYOUS EASTER,
ALL THE CONDITIONS
BEING AUSPICIOUS.
Easter in New Bern was a day long
to be remembered. The day was ideal
in every respect and hundreds of people
crowded the streets during the entire
day. At the mroning service, every:
church in the city was filled to its utr
most capacity and the sermons were
interesting and thoroughly enjoyed.
Special musical ' programs had been
arranged for the occasion and these
Lwere rendered in such a manner that
the large audiences at the different,
edifices were thrilled beyond compar
sion. In the afternoon it seemed that every
automobile ,and carriage in the city
was upon the streets and each of these
were filled with happy, joyous people,
each with the Easter spirit in their
heart and a cherry greeting for all,
In addition to these there , were hun
dreds .of pedestrians upon the streets
and every place of interest in the. city,
was vis! ted by many during the day, i;;

DrAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
ty local applications, as they cannot
ra.h the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remzdies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when- it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which' is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. -
