WILSoN won't have to run this time-he'll get there in a walk. JUNE, June, oh! Glorious June-the poetic germ bit us but it didn't take. DR. WAITE seems to have got into a bushel of trouble by fooling with the Pecks. WE are hearing some pretty good fish tales now, but we are doing our best not to inflict our subscribers with them. THIS is the month in which a lot of trouble begins. There'll be lots and lots of June brides and roses and oodles and oodles of thorns. IF those Texas militiamen faint at the sight of the virus needle, what will happen to them should they have to face a .42 centimetre gun? "GERMANY short of food." This has been a standing head of many papers for many moons, yet the Teutons keep right on fighting-and winning. OF course Colonel Aftermath reads all the papers; but we just wonder if he has overlooked what has happened to his stage sweetheart, Billie Burke? EVERYBODY is cordially invited to at tend the Confederate veterans' reunion in Pickens next Saturday, June 3. It will be a great day for us all. Come. LITTLE boys often get a lecture from mamma for playing marbles "for keeps" with their chums. But big sister can win a cart load of vases at bridge whist without a murmur from mamma. .PROFE~SOR TAFT says he p)ositively wvill not support Colonel Roosevelt even if he is nominated. Which probably means that the professor w.ants to even up with the Rough Rlider for his 1912 - - ..prprmance. THE publicity department of the Na tional Wholesale Liquor Dealers associ ation says "This nation drinks more whiskey as a result of prohibition." Well, then, why do the liquor people kick so much about prohibition?' SOMETIMES it does seem a pity that there can be only one president of the United States at one time, when there are so many people in every town who could conduct the affairs of this country so much better than the president wve have. DR. RAMSAY in his sermon to the - graduating closs: "It doesn't make so much difference where you start in life; .its where you end that counts. ** * Those wvho are unduly exercised in the 'business of their neighbors are apt to neglect their own."~ * "GOLDEN GRAIN JUICE" is the name -of atn alleged temperance dIrink in arid 'Geor~gia. 'Tis saidl for it that it leaves 'no fur on the nongute nor that sad, mel.. ancholy taste the morning after. If thst be' so, it is different from any of the golden grain juice we have -ever experimented with.

A 44ght, Doet Charlotte antil l Nor h Carolina is willing., NEXT Tuesday, June 6, is our birth day, and we were just thinking how nice it would be if about one hundred ne*. 640 rpt*al subscriptions came in between now and then. While we are yry y~dfififor our age) we are not too young to be deeply touched by a deli 0.eocdjpli inet like this. A MAiN named Lamar has been con vieted of impersonating a congressman with intbnbto defraud Wall street finan ciers and sent to prison for two years. Any rhan -that would try to impersonate some of our congressmen should be kept in jail perpetually. On the other hand, he should have been given a medal had he succeeded in getting, ahead of that Wall street gang; but he, di4n't, and that'swhy he has to sex'vehis time. Would Have Only One Primary Over and over every two years we have this double primary election. I wish it could be changed to allow all officers to hold office four years so as to keep down the excitement, trouble and expense. Under the present law we have two primary elections, which means two days lost out of every two years. Allow me to suggest a change that I think would be better by doing all we-now do in two primaries in one primary. In casting your ballot for your first chdice mark both your figst choice and your second choice. If two or more are tqbe elected,- as commissioners or leg islators, mark two first choice and twc secofid.hic. ., For-)itnstance'.if-.four.'are running for one office, A, B, C and D, and you prefer A as first choice and E for second choice, so mark them oppo. site their names. When two or more are to be elected as stated above and you prefer A and B, mark A first choice, B first choice and C second choice, I second choice. Then when the first choice votes are counted, if no one re. ceives a majority, the two receiving the highest number of votes are to continue as at present. If two are to be elected there will be four in the race, but all others are dropped out or eliminated aE now, but the second choice on all ballot will be counted and the ones receiving the highest will be the nominee. Voting your second choice cannot hurl -your first - choice. If your first choice comes out one of the high men youm second choice is not counted, and if he does not come out high man he is dowr and' out .anyway. If your first choice proves a low man, then your seconi choice may name a winner. The present law will govern the com ing primary, but if the people woulk favor such a change as this it can b put in force before the next primary. MATTHEW HENDRICKS. CARDOFTTANASI (,a of thanks published for onie-half (eII To our many friends who at any time during the protracted ordeal througi which we have, just passed in the sick ness and death of our beloved wife and mother,' we extend our thanks for the many kindnesses shown us and will ever feel grateful, praying the Lord will remember you all in the final makc-up of rewards.
