Why Do Governors Of
Carolina Die Young?
No Ex-Governors N*w Giving, But
l ieutenants and Hunners” Man
age to Exist, Why?
Raleigh.—AVhat kills North Caro
lina governors, has been nske.i many
times si nee the death of the last ex
ecutive. W. W. Kitchen.
One goes to South Carolina ami
see> half a dozen former chief magis
trates of that commonwealth. Going
to the. north one finds just as many,
or more living former executives. The
Oates seem to testify to the fact that
the Virginia and South Carolina gov
ernors do not take their jobs quite as
seriously. It is not written that when
either commonwealth undertakes to
lift itself from the mud that its gov
ernor drops dead from sheer exhaus
tion. In (Teed Governor Tringle hut late
ly shifted down the lubricated shaft
of least resistance and in the late bond
effort of Virginia went with the ma
jority.
So it is assumed that North Caro
lina governors work harder than their
neighbors hut the good old doctrine of
work gets an awful jolt in this ex
nlanation. Again it is recalled that
North Carolina makes more calls on
its executives. They just must speak
every time they have a chance. But
Virginia' and South Carolina’s gover
nors are not noted for quiescence.
North Carolina lavs a tremendous bur
den on her excellencies by imposing
pardon case- on them, hut it is not
written that Virginia and South Car
olina governor escape these killing or
deals. Every effort to explain why
North Carolina governors cannot go
through a campaign and live long aft
er their terms have expired fails. It
is not the campaign which kills. Ma
jor Stedman survives while Glenn has
been long since dead. Max Gardner is
the disappointed man, so is Bob Page,
but they are much more eauable and
happy than their successful competi
tor. Linney lives young and Biekett
died suddenly almost old.
The exact reverse is true in the
nation. Vice presidents die much more
easily than President, alhiet. there
are several presidential death which
have made their runing mates go up.
The vice presidents always have shown
greater mortality, while the North
Carolina lieutenant governors abide.
Charles Reynolds, R. A. Doughton,
Living ex-leutenant governors now are
Charles M. Stedman, Francis I>. Win
ston. W. D. Turner. W. C. New land
and Max Gardner. There may be oth
ers. And of Republican candidates for
governor there are Judge Spencer B.
Adams, Charles J. Harris, Iredell
Mtars, Frank Linney, John Parker
and Ike Meekins and there may be!
more of them. It is not the running |
or the beating that kills. It seems to
be the office, but what is in it, nobody
knows. Norlh Carolina never has
found out $’hat kills he'- governors.
And here within a day after the burial
of Kitchin it comes to mind that the
Morrison administration has been
marked by the death of three former
governors.
If we could see ourselves as others I
see us there would be a great ileal i
more humanity in the world.
SURE PROOF
"I had shaken down my furnace.
The ashes had been shoveled into
tne can. I noticed what I thought
was a dead cinder on the floor. I
picked it up to throw it with the
others. Inside it was still red hot.
uly fingers felt like they were on
fire. I rushed upstairs and poured
L.ICARBO on my hand. The pain
subsided at once and not a blister
appeared. LICARBO is certainly
Lie most wonderful preparation
liiat I have ever heard of.”
That man has never since been
v/ithout LICARBO. It not only
heals burns but cuts, scratches,
bruises, insect bites, sunburn, foot
and toe infections, prickly heat,
chafing, rashes, eczema and all cases
of skin affection of external origin.
LICARBO kills all germs, pre
vents infections and heels the af
fected spot. It is a household neces
sity. Get LICARBO today from
your druggist and be prepared.

It’s A Manner
That Women Have
W hikes Wamboldt, in Charlotte Ob
server.
"They ain't going t<> hang you.
Jimmy,” declared Maine.
Marne was Jimmie's They had
been engaged a year, when Jimmie
killed ah ank messenger in a holdup
Jimmie did not share Marne’s con-1
viction about the hanging question,
for 12 men more or less good and
true had decided that Jimmie most
pay the extreme penalty for his
crime.
Bn* Marne stoutly maintained,
“They ain’t going to hang you. Jim
mie! We will carry the case to 'lie
Supreme Court!”
That august body however, after
due deliberation, carrte to the condit
ion that ilie verdict of the 12 citi
zens was about right and they let, it
stand.
“They ain’t going to hang you.
Jimmie," reiterated Marne, undaunt
ed “We will go to the Governor.”
But the governor, after thoughtful
deliberation, decided that there are
some things a man must not do and
live. And he was further of the opin
ion that the tears of a pretty sweet
heart can not wash away the stains
of n blood crime.
“They ain’t going to hang, \ou,
Jimmie,’ persisted Maine, ami her
voice was tenser and her face .vh'ter
and her eyes brighter.
It was the morning of Jimmie's
execution. Maine had been allowed to
see, him for one minute. She put her
arms around him and pressed her lips
passionately to his. As she did so she
pushed a capsule with her tongue in
to his mouth. “Swallow it," she whis
pered. And then she was gone.
Ten minutes later Jimmie swayed,
staggered forward and crashed to the
floor of his cell.
One hour afterward when an officer
knocked at the door of the nlace
where Marne lived a white faced old
woman silently led him to a back
room. He gazed at the still form ly
ing on the bed, removed his cap, and
quietly left the house.
It used to be the custom among cer
tain tribes when a man died to bury
his wives with him. When civilized
Governments prohibited the practice
the loudest protests were from the
women themselves who demanded to
accompany their husbands down the
long trail.
Women are faithful, tragic little
creatures. It is said that 75 per cent
of the men released from orison find
their women waiting for them when
I they come out. • \
