^V h ^ Quality Goes Clear Through

T
f,]. Built Solidly
to "Stan dUp"
As you know the Dort has won a national
- name for its "stay put" qualities.
Observe especially the stalwart frame, the
massive side members, the solid construction.
This over-size frame is particularly valu
able in a light car such as the Dort because
it keeps the car rigid under continuous road
pounding.
Everywhere throughout the Dort structure
where there is a working strain you find
this over-size and over-strength.
Now you know why the Dort goes to the repair
shop with such extraordinary infrequence.
It's built to "stay put" as veterans of the
road phase it.
And, observe please, how accessible it is.
Accessibility has always been a pronounced
characteristic of the Dort%
Whenever your Dort does need a little
("tuning up" or an adjustment here or there
you don't have to disemble the car.
One of the foremost thoughts of Dort engineers
was to build the car so its owners
- " could give it the ordinary service attention
easily and inexpensively.
We are receiving requests daily for demonstration
drives and we would like very
much to arrange one for youPRICES

THE REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE
j The election of Warren G. Hard- 1
i 1
ing on November 4 was not unexpected
by those who were able to read
j between the lines. For several
months previous to the election politicians
who read much and talked a
good deal seemed to feel that Mr.
Cox had little chance of winning.
There seemed to be a sort of dissatisfaction
in the air. And dissatisfaction
with things in general boded
no good for the party in power.
There were millions of discontents
throughout the land and these voted
for a change of party. The Democrats
had had eight years in ollice.
uuruig uie uemocratic aaministration
America entered the great war
and won it for the Allies. During the
eight years of Democratic administration
the country passed through a
period of great prosperity and naturally
some sort of reconstruction became
necessary. War-time prices
could not continue.
Each of these changes in conditions
made enemies for the party in power.
And each of these enemies registered
his protest by voting for Harding
and the Republican party.
Had the Republican party been in
power before anl during the war and
up to the present time, the Republican
party mould have suffered defeat
at the hands of the voters, just
as the Democrats were buried in an
avalanche of protest.
Beginning away back in 1914 the
Democrats made enemies of all those
people who wanted America to plunge
into the war at its beginning. In
1917 those who deprecated our entrance
into the mar resolved to vote
tne Democratic ticket no move. Then,
it must be remembered that there
are many thousands of pro-Germans
in the United States whose votes
would be for any party other than
the Democratic organization and for
any man other than Woodrow Wilson.
There was also resentment against
the administration because the League
of Nations had not been adopted and
resentment by others because the administration
had tried so hard to
adopt it.
There were those who lost sons in
the war who blame the administration
for entering the war; for the
draft law and for various other details
in connection with the conduct
of the army which they thought worked
a hardship upon them or their
sons.
The administration has been blamed
for financial fluctuations, for the
rise or fall in the price of commodoties.
Many Republican votes were
cast in the Democratic South by farmers
who blamed the administration
for the low price of cotton.
So, all in all, there were many factors
contributing to the defeat of
Governor Cox and the party behind
him. The success of Senator Hard
[ '"K wus m nu way a personal success.
The landslide was not drawn toward
Harding and the Republicans; it was
pushed that way from Cox and the
Democrats.
At the General Elections last week
the amendment to exempt Chesterfield
from certain restrictions was carried
and is now law. This amendment
is also known as the "water
works bill," because it enables the
town to issue bonds for the amount
necessary to construct water works
and a sewerage systed. A petition
having already been circuited and
signed, it is now only necessary to
hold an election and vote for the improvement.
The election will be arranged
for early in the spring.
While the County Fair comes at a
time whes our farmers are unusually
busy, due to the lateness of the cotton
crop, it is better late than never.
The state of mind ol the majority of
our citizens has of late been such as
will ben It by relaxation. Fair week
is a good time to forget troubles, lay

throng, laugh and be merry. We
have been thinking in figures, anywhere
between 12 V4 and 20 cents for
so long that it will do us good to get
away from it *11 for a few days and
have a good time meeting friends, riding
on the merry-go-round, shooting
the shutes and being childish and
foolish generally. We get enough
tragedy out of life without trying,
let us try for a little comedy.
It is gratifying to note that at least
half the cotton that is being ginned
in and near Chesterfield is being held
off the market. It is also gratifyng
to note that about half is being sold
That half that is being warehoused
or otherwise held for better prices
will undoubtedly have its effect on
bringing a fair price when the factories
begin to needl cotton. The half
that is being sold now is paying debts,
buying necessities and keeping money
in circulation. Each half, the dormant
and the active, are therefore
souring a purpose.
Primarily, tiffed Croaa was meant I
for every man, woman and child in
America and in the world. It is a hu- |
mane agent created by your dollar, tl
your neighbor's dollar for the sole nt
and single benefit of humanity. w
If you are tKe sort of fellow who P
delights in the knowledge that "man's **
inhumanity to man makes countless! k
millions mourn," then you want to I 81
jet as far away from the Red Cross a
ss you possibly can.
If you belong to any sect or or- fi
ganization which opposes aid to your tl
fellows, the Red Cross is not for you. h<
If you believe that health is a mat- a
ter of no importance, that cities 3
should have jails, policemen, theatres, hj
. hurches and schools, but no nurses,
doctors, hospitals, relief of suffering r]
or take precautionary measures m
against disease, then Red Cross is p
not for you. ?
If you think that when a communi- h
ty is swept by fire or flood, or by any g
other calamity that strips people of Sl
their all, leaves them maimed and f,
wounded?if you think these starv- y
ing children, that the sore and help- n
'ess victims of disaster should be left ^
to themselves, should be denied an or- n
ganization that would give such a n
people physical comfort, bind up their
wounds, and afford them the greatest
of all panaceas, mental ease, then j
Red Cross is not for you. ^
If you are deaf to pain, blind to g
misery, hardened to pity, dead to feel- ^
ing for your fellowman, then Red r
L.ross is not for you.
But if you believe in doing the
most possible for humanity, then Red
Cross is for you and all like you. s
The fourth Red Cross roll call of
members is on. It is your Red Cross I
because it acts as your personal rep- b
resentative in humane work. Renew S
that membership today.
GOOD HEALTH HINTS jj

Oklahoma Farmer Gives Sound Ad* 0
vice on Avoiding Sickness.?
Used Black-Draught c
30 Years. <=
Cameron, Okla.?"I hare used 0
Thed ford's Black-Draught for about r
thirty years, and certainly ought to n
know by this time what a good medicine
it 1b," eays Mr. T. L. Bostler, a
well-known fanner of this place. Mr. I
Bostler has passed his three-score-and- s
tenth year, hut declares his health c
still is good, "and I can aay BlackDraught
did Its part."
"Where there is a lot of malaria, a
liver medicine is a necessity, and I t
nave never round one better tnan .
Black-Draught," continues the Okiehoman.
"It is one that I know to be 1
reliable. I sure use It for the liver, (
stomach, constipation. Indigestion, and j<
it has done me a world of good. We
use it for the family, and it gives a
satisfaction. a
"Most trouble, or sickness, comes a
from the liver, and If taken in time
can be avoided. That Is why I use
Black-Draught as I do. I am much pleased
with results obtained."
Thedford's Black-Draught is purely
vegetable. It acts on the bowels, gent- r
ly stimulating the liver, and helps in- ^
crease the normal flow of bile into the r
Intestines. It assists in the digestion c
of food, and relieves constipation in s j
prompt and natural way.
Ask your druggist for a package to
day. Insist on Thedford's. NC-13i
