Jack Dempsey is to be married and then he will probably be afraid to claim the championship. LaFollette is young enough to be president, but so far as known he has no other qualifications. Anything is fair weather which does not restrain the crowds from attending the fair.

The days may be getting shorter at this season of the year, but there seems to be just as many of them between pay days. Eternal triangles have become SO popular in the divorce courts that we now have one in the presidential campaign. Those who like meat in a political speech, undeniable facts, were pleased with the political discussion of the issues by A. W. McLean at Lincolnton Tuesday night.

Mrs. Ferguson says she's going to be boss after her election as governor of Texas, but probably Mr. Ferguson will not notice any difference. With October the campaign is on in Lincoln. Voters are required to register however before voting.

Governor McLean inferred in his speech here that his Republican opponent was running for a federal judgeship rather than for governor. A. W. McLean, Democratic candidate for governor, rings clear as Democracy's leader in North Carolina. one could hear his speech without realizing that he is most familiar with the records of the two political parties in this state.

He raised the esteem of the Democratic record in this state in the minds of his hearers, and made Democrats proud of their party record, and proud of the fact that they have been with the party of progress. Democratic Presidential Candidates Always Wins on November 4. As the popularity of John W. Davis spreads throughout the country there is a growing interest in the historical fact that since the birth of the Democratic party every Democratic presidential candidate nominated in a year having November 4 as day has been elected. This election, the election of Jackson in 1828 and was repeated in 1856, and 1884, and 1912, the respective years in which Bulchanan, Cleveland, and Wilson were Mr.

A. W. McLean, of Lumberton, Democratic Candidate for governor of North Carolina, made his initial appearance at Lincolnton Tuesday night, when he made the opening speech of the campaign for the Democrats in this county. His speech here was pitched on a high plane and he was heard with a great deal of pleasure by both men and women voters. After listening to his speech many were the remarks heard that his speech contained much food for serious consideration.

That the Democrats have one of the very best men in the state selected for governor is agreed by those who heard him, and all seemed of the firm opinion that Mr. McLean will make a safe and wise leader of the state administration. FARMER GETS NO BENEFIT FROM TARIFF DRAWBACK' The big miller who imports wheat has a nice, strong string tied to the tariff tax he pays and pulls the money right back into his own, pocket. The string is the "drawback" clause of the Republican tariff law. But the string does not work for the farmer.

If he imports a little wheat for seed, he pays the full tax and gets none of it back. Representative Rufus Hardy of Texas tells how the skin game works. Mr. Hardy says: "The Republican farmers emergency tariff act put a duty of 25 cents per bushel on wheat. Their permanent tariff act placed this duty at 30 cents, but under both laws, every importer who expects the same wheat or like wheat or the products of the same wheat or like wheat, is entitled to a drawback of ninety-nine per cent of all the duty paid.

Now the only importers of wheat are the big mill men, who export more wheat and flour than they import, so that 99-100 of all the wheat tax collected is refunded, but if any farmer imports Canadian wheat for seed he pays the duty and there is no drawback. "This wheat was the backbone of the Republican emergency tariff bill and was carried over into their permanent Tariff act, to gull the Western farmer. It is a fraud which the farmers ought to understand. The same fraud exist in many other duties. For example, the Standard Oil Company can prosper under any duty on crude or refined oil, because should they import any of it they would get 99 per cent of the tax they pay refunded to them, while the tax would enable them to boost oil prices to non-exporters.

The United States Steel Corporation can pay any tax on iron ore and iron ore products they export and get back all the tax they pay, while they boost prices to the home consumers. This draw back clause of all the tariff is of, by and for the great big capitalists." Atlanta, Sept. Reduction in the retail price of gasoline of 3. cents a gallon in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, effective tomorrow morning, was announced here this afternoon by Sheppard, district manager of the Gull Refining company. The present retail price is 28 cents a gallon.

ALBERT LUTHER HOUSER The death of Mr. Albert Luther Houser comes as a shock, not only to his family, but to Lincoln County and the surrounding community. A man of unusually strong constitution, having scarcely known during his life-time what it is was to be sick, he was stricken on June 21 with a malady which seemed to come as the result of a sun-stroke. His death at the Lincoln Hospital, Lincolnton, N. in the early morning of September 29, was produced by slow absorption of puss which was formed in his head in the region of the nasal cavity.

For some weeks prior to his death the toxic condition of the brain had so affected his body that it was scarcely able to discharge any of its normal functions. For a fortnight he had not been able to recognize even the members of his immediate family. Houser was born on May 30, 1860, in the community of Bethpage Church. In that same community he established his home and reared large family. It was only a few months ago that he sold the farm in Lincoln County on which he had spent the greater part of his life and removed to Cherryville, to spend the remainder of his days.

His church connection, in which he had been faithful, had been from his early boyhood at Bethpage Lutheran church of this county until only a few weeks ago, about the time that he became sick, when he together with his wife was granted a letter of transfer to St. John's Lutheran church of Cherryville. In view of his sickness and inability to be at church it was requested of Mrs. Houser that the letter be not public- ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as administrator of the estate of D. T.

The letter was, however, received by the church council and his name recorded in the church book as a member in full and active standing. From his marriage on January 11, 1884, to Miss Hettie Roxine Beam there were born to Mr. Houser thirteen children, one of whome died in infancy, the others of whom survive to mourn his loss.
