ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. therefore, shall have to let the people say no. The habit of machine voting by the people for the past fifty years lias been tin- outgrowth of political bossism and corrupt office holders. Through corrupt officials the money power of this country, has fastened it^ yoke of opproroion upon the people This year is noted for more machine-made candidates than ever before in. the history of the country. And the people are awakening to the fa t that they should fasten their seal of condemnation upon graft and greed, are more determined to stamp out bossism than ever before. The paramount issue to be considered In this state is the temperance question. We now have a local option law that should be maintained for the general good and welfare of the people, and to assist in the enforcement of such a law by the state, there should be some laws regulating the interstate commerce as well as the federal license law, which is a menace to the enforcement of prohibition. If I shall bo elected to represent the people of the Fifth District in Congress, I will use my best efforts to secure the passage of a law to prevent the issuing of government license to sell intoxicating liquors within a prohibition state. And every proposition for me to consider shall be balanced in tin* scales of equal justice *o all the people. D. C. BRACKNEY.

Impertinence of Genius. T>r. Johnson once culled upon Mr. Garrick in I<ond»n and was shown into his study. Unfortunately, a door being open, he strayed Into an adjoining room which contained the novels and lighter works which had been prerented ns tributes to the highly admired actor. Johnson first read a bit from one and then another and threw them down, strewing the floor with the expensive volumes. Garrick was angry at finding Johnson there and said. "This i*i a private cabinet, and no conip iny is admitted here." "But.” said Johnson, with impertinent coolness, "I was determined to examine your valuables, which I find consist of three sorts—stuff, trash and nonseuse.”

Mrs Denham—Aa the story goes. Rip Van Winkle slept twenty years. Benham—I wonder if his breakfast was ready when fie woke up.

The Juniors held a class party Friday night at the home of Irvin Brown. A good time is reported. The football team played Roachdale high school team Saturday on McKeen Field. Although out-weigh-ed the locals outplayed *he Roachdale eleven from start to finish and got the big end of the score. G. H. S. received the first kick-off and within two minutes made a touchdown, but Bittles failed to kick goal. At the end of the first half the score stood 10 to 0 in favor of the locals. In the second half Roachdale held us to two touchdowns and one goat kick, the game ending with the score 21 to 0 in our favor. Bittles, Thomas and Sellers carry the honors for G. H.

The Roachdale people turned out to the number of about twelve. Coincidence. •'Somehow I'm awfully stupid tonight.'' remarked young Borum Ian guidly the other evening. "Indeed you are," retorted Miss Cutting, somewhat impulsively. "Do you really mean that?" asked the jouug man lu surprise. "I merely Indorsed your remarks. Didn't you Just now assert that you were stupid?” she queried. "Yes.” he responded, "but I only said so without thinking.” “And up to the time you spoke of it,” she replied, "1 only thought so without saying it.”—Pearson's Weekly.

“Drunk With Thy Beauty.” Charles Dickens once had an argument with 11 friend about Byron's expression. “Drunk with thy beauty,” to which he made great objection. During the discussion the novelist gazed as if enraptured at his host's fair haired daughter, who was in the room. At lust he sprang to his feet, struck a dramatic attitude, clasped his heart with Ids hands and stalked to the window, where he wrote on the white woodwork: O maiden of the amber dropping hair. Would 1. Byronicaliy, thy praise might

utter!

Drunk with thy beauty, would that I might dare To breathe out paeans, borne upon a shutter!

Voted Twice. Sir Gavan Du fy, formerly speaker of the legislative assembly of Victoria, was on<e returned to Ids seat by a single vote majority. On visiting his constituents subsequently, he was received with u special warmth by an Irish fellow countryman. “And so,” said Sir Gavnu Duffy to his friend, "you were one of my sup-

porters."

"No. sir,” was the reply. “I was two of them.”

The Boss. "But," exclaimed the man of delicate sensibilities, "will your conscience permit you to do as you suggest?" “Look here, friend,” answered the New York politician, "1 am accustomed to lie Isiss even of my own conscience." —Washington Star. Not Modesty. “Sometimes,” said the press humorist. "I think my jokes are rotten. I s’pose Hint's my modesty.” “No," explained a friend, "that’s your common sense.” — Louisville Courler-

They Certainly Keep It Dusted. Women in all lands are the custodians of speech. They preserve Its purity To them must go much of the credit of the improvement in American English.—New York World.

The Way the Police Descend Upon Them In a Raid.

SKILL. CUNNING AND DARING.

Absolute Secrecy Is Maintained by the Officials, and the Policemen Are Kept In the Dark Until the Last Moment—Getting Into the Club. The police have recently carried out •ome sensational raids on big gaming clulis, and it may lie interesting to learn how these raids are effected. This is how it is done in London: As ioou as the detectives' suspicious have been confirmed they apply to the commissioner of police for a warrant to enter. The warrant nuthorixes certain officers mentioned by name to enter the club in the name of the king. Ordinary policemen are not permitted to carry out a raid, hut the detectives can call upon them for assistance at the critical moment. Absolute secrecy is enforced right tip to the moment of entry. There is no excitement at the station on that day, nml the men on duty have no suspicion of what Is in the wind. Plans of the house are drawn and carefully studied by the raiding officers, for the doorkeriier of the club Is prepared at the slightest alarm to send a warning to his customers, and every vestige of gambling apparatus will mysteriously disap|ie.ar and the raid fail. A carefully planned ruse, therefore, lias to be evolved which will disarm suspicion. During the day a body of "reserve" policemen will receive a communication from the station that they will lie required to parade at a certain hour, and they meet with no idea of what is expected of them. They are drawn up in line, and after names have lieen ; called over they are dismissed from the station one hj one, with the injunction to be in the immediate neigh bnrliood of a certain street In a couple of hours and not to get near the spot before the prearranged moment. The first officer to appear on the scene is the one in charge of the raid. , He is always disguised and usually looks like n well dressed man about town. He lias.-es the club carelessly, but It is sufficient for him to learn fi mi n coaf, derate Inside that gaming has commenced. A policeman then saunters to the corner of the street and stays there as though he were on "ixiiiit” duty. Then, not till then. Is j the Information "f the precise club to be raided secretly conveyed to the attacking force In their hiding places, while the club, unconscious of its Impending fate, pursues Its gambling. The first difficulty to surmount is to get past the burly doorkeeper. If this Is not successfully done the raid will end In failure. Presently the sound of a drunken song is heard in the distance, and two apparently rough looking men come staggering along. As they near the entrance to the club they begin disputing and soon come to blows. The doorkeeper peeps through the wicket and orders the men away. One of the men rushes at the wicket and challenges the doorkeeper to “come outside like a man" and at the same time shouts out something about the character of the house. The combatants continue fighting, and the officer at the corner comes along and orders them away. The men return, however, to “have It out with the doorkeeper." The noise Increases, attracting homeward bound gentlemen In evening dress, who gather round and urge the

men on.

Tlie doorkeeper by this time becomes alarmed, for the rowdy crowd will frighteu away ^ds clients. Perhaps Just at tliis moment a member of the club arrives and seeks admission. The door is opened with the utmost caution to admit him. Before he has time to fasten it the two officers hastily secure the member and rush upstairs. The two combatants were disguised policemen and tlie onlookers detectives. As soon as an entrance into the club has been effected tlie constable at the corner sounds his whistle, and before the sound lias died away the whole neighborhood Is alive with police. If the house boasts of a trapdoor on the roof, the flash of lanterns will be seen up there, the men having been concealed among Hie chimney pots since it was dark. The front door is secured, and the police form a guard around the house, so that escape Is impossible. Meantime the scene upstairs is one of the wildest excitement The gamblers, Intent on business, had not noticed the scuttle in the passage, and the first Intimation they get of the state of affairs is when the door is thrown open and the officer in charge calls on them to regard themselves as his prisoners. Then they realize their position. The tables are overturned, and card counters and money roll ali' over the floor as the members endeavor to escape They make for the street door, but. balked In this direction, hurry to all parts of the house to hide. The crestfallen members of the club are conveyed to the station, each In the enstody of two officers. Then the house is searched for the gaming apparatus. Every inch of the place Is examined, for ffnmblers have remarkable contrivances whereby they can hide their apparatus In the event of being raided. Pops of tables are knocked off. flooring taken up and walls searched for secret cupboards. Yards of chalked string nre regarded as prizes, and with these and more apparent proofs the case Is ready for the magistrate The evidence Is laid before him, and the proprietor and members are charged and the sentence passed or a heavy dim imposed on the prisoners.-Londoi) Tit-Bits.

ASSERTED HERSELF.

The Young Woman Also Had a Few Questions to Ask. The young woman was being interviewed by her prospective employer. The tiian bit off bis words and hurled them at her in a way to frighten an ordinary girl ou, of her wits. "Chew gum?” he asked. "No, sir.” “Tall; slang?” “No, sir." “Know how to spell correctly?" “Yes, sir.” “Use the telephone every other minute?" "No, sir.” "Usually tell the office force how Binch tlie firm owes and nil the rest of tiie private business you learn?” "No, sir.” He was thinking of something e!*e to ask her when she took a hand in the matter and put n few questions. "Smoke cigars when you're dictating?” "W hy—er—no!” he gasped In astonishment. "Slam things around when business Is bad?” “No.” "Lay for your employees when they get caught In a block some morning?” “No, Indeed.” "Think you know enough about grammar and punctuation to appreciate a good stenographer when you get one?" “I—I think so.” “Want me to go to work, or Is your time worth so little that"— lb* interrupted her enthusiastically: "Kindly hang up your things and let's get at these letters.”—Judge.

WOOD LOTS OF JAPAN. Example Furniahed of Tree Growing on Small Plots. In these times of great drains ou the timber supplies, caused by the heavy demand for forest products of all kinds, Americans may see In Japan an example of what can l<e done In growing wood on small plots. That country contains 21.000,000 wood lots, about three-fourths of which lielong to private persons ami onefourth to communes. The average size of the plot Is less than nine-teuths of an acre. They usually occupy the steepest, roughest, poorest ground. In this way land Is put to use which would otherwise go to waste and If unwooded would lore its soil by the wash of the dashing rains. From Japan's wood lots the yearly yield of lumber Is about eighty-eight feet, board measure, an acre and threefourths of a cord of firewood. In many cases the yield is much higher. More than .HXl.ntki.Ooo trees ore planted yearly to make up what Is cut for lumber

and fuel.

With nil the care lu cutting and the Industry In replanting It Is by no means certain that Japan’s forests nre holding their own. If the preservation of the forests Is doubtful there, It Is evident that depletion must be alarmingly rapid In other countries which cut unsparingly and plant very little. On the other hand. It Is encouraging to see what can lie done with rough, steep and poor land. The United States has enough of that kind to grow billions of feet of lumlier.—Pathfinder.

Too rich food and not enough exercise Is responsible for many bloodshot eyes, while too little sleep often bus the same effect.
