WATSON HEN CORNER STATE FOR DELEGATES
Although Wayne county Republicant who have Interested themselves
In supporting the candidacy of Harry S. New for the Republican senatorial nomination are confident New will defeat James E. Watson at the G. O. P. primary election in this county they made the startling discovery today that unless they got very busy there is an excellent chance for the election In Wayne county of a solid Watson delegation to the Republican state convention. The primary law provides that in the event no senatorial candidate receives the majority of the first and second choice votes cast at the primary election the senatorial nominee shall be selected by the state convention, and as there Is an excellent chance of this contest being carried to the convention, the Wayne county New supporters have finally realised the importance of selecating candidates for convention delegates to oppose the slate of Watson delegates, which is being carefully arranged by Linus P. Meredith, Watson's active and industrious Wayne county manager. It is understood that Meredith has already arranged to place on the county ballot seventeen candidates for state convention delegates, all known to be tried and true Watson men. Incidentally Wayne county is entitled to only seventeen delegates to the Republican convention. The Richmond Republican who has interested himself in promoting the New candidacy says he merely volunteered to assist in New's campaign and did not understand that he was expected to do all the detailed organization work.
PURE HEART MAKES PURE LIFE
BARONESS ACCUSED OF WRITING PASSPORTS

Since her departure for Europe in December, 1914, with her husband, Uuetenant von Weddell, her friends here have had no word from her other that that she is rumored to be studying art in Munich.
"A man cannot live a pure life with an impure heart. We must be humble to God but have a conscious strength so we can look everybody square in the face. When we boast of humility." The above are some of the pungent sentences taken from the sermon of the Rev. William J. Sayers, who is conducting an evangelistic campaign at the East Main Street Friends' church. Mr. Sayers' subject was the "100 Per Cent Man." "Great men are always unconscious of their greatness. Efficiency has two 'r8. Religion comes into our lives to make us more nearly perfect. We are
not defeated until we are defeated Inside; as long as we keep our heads above water we won't drown."
CONSIDER CHANGES IN SCHOOL HOURS

Their attitude toward the lengthening of school hours was given. Superintendent J. T. Giles of the city schools spoke for fifteen minutes before the committee, reiterating the facts which he published some days ago. Dr. I. S. Harold also delivered a brief address on the subject of the new Main street bridge.

Curling Iron Kills Hair; ' New Method Improves It
Crime increases at the rate of 300 per cent every twenty years.
Many a woman loses the silky, fluffy and brilliant appearance of her hair tbrough habitual use of the hot curling iron. Certainly it can do th. hair no good to dry up its natural oil, singe the life out of it, making it harsh, brittle and dull. And there's no excuse for continuing the use of that destructive instrument, now that we know what can be accomplished by applying plain liquid silmerine. The use of this harmless product really preserves the life, lustre and beauty of the hair, and the curly and wavy effect Is perfectly natural looking and most captivating. If you've never tried it, by all means procure a few ounces from your druggist and use enough to moisten your hair from root to tip, putting it on with a clean tooth brush. The liquid silmerine is neither gummy nor greasy, but quite pleasant to use. Adv.

said Mr. Reller, has it come to this in j Wayne county that a man can drink j a pint of whisky and several bottles
of beer, go out and kill a man and then get by with it. That is the defense that has been put up by the defendant. They make Intoxication a defense for a crime in spite of the fact that intoxication is recognized in law as a crime in itself." "Knapp has had the most convenient memory of any person I have ever seen on the stand," continued Reller. "He would give the men of high finance a run for their money when it came to lapse of memory." "Has it come to pass that a colored man, because he calls a white man a vile name has to be shot down. If you jury men return a verdict for the defendant you will say that a pint of whiskey and three bottles of beer will allow any man to kill another."
Automobile output of the United States for 1914 was 700,000 cars.
