A soldier serving in the Phlip
pines was court-martialed for steal
ing a bar of soap valued at eight
cents and sentenced to hard labor
for six months. He made the
mistake in not taking a whole box
of soap. He then might have got
ten a few days at hard labor.
Yesterday, Wednesday, marked
the closing of Woodruff county’s
election campaign. Election day
here in McCrory passed off pleas
antly, not a single unpleasant af
fair oecured to mar the day.
Some of the candidates are
defeated and some are elected,
as yet we have not recieved the
returns from Meredith box.
Regardless of who is elected to
serve the people for the next two
years, let us all pledge ourselves,
regardless of personal difference
and factional fight, to unite in up
building our city and Woodruff
county. A people united in an en
deavor to build up and better the
city and country can accomplish
more in twelve months than they
could twelve years if they are split
up in factions.
The News wishes to congratu
late its self upon having passed
through the campaign just closed
without having gotten “mixed up”
with politics. Not one word has
the News said either way, in the
interest or downfall of any candi
date, except a few times when we
were paid to do the same. The
columns have always been open to
any candidate who was willing to
pay for such. Notwithstanding
the editor as a citizen expressed
himself (not through the columns
of the paper) but boldly and openly,
many times, yet not a single time
did we, nor will we ever, use the
News in a political way, Hoping
Done will censure the News for
the plain spoken manner in which
its editor, as an American citizen,
expressed himself asto some of
the candidacies, and with no apol
ogies to anyone, We are,
Respectfully,
Woodruff County News,
Walter W. Raney, Editor.
TALK WITH YOUNG MEN.
The young man with limited
means, who has but a few hundred
dollars to begin life with, or per
haps has nothing but a pair of
strong and willing hands, we would
say to all snch young men that the
farm is the best place in the world.
Do not be afraid of toil but set an
example to the weak, lazy loiterer
about town bv putting your hand
to the plow. If you are a young
married man then the farm offers
still greater inducements. We know
it will cost your young wife some
pangs to separate from friends and
home in the town, but if she is a
true woman she will do it without
a murmur, for the battle of life is
an earnest one, and we must each
sustain our part. Do not expect to
begin your married life in the same
style that your father and mother
are now enjoj’ing in their old age,
with the fruits of many years of
toil; but be contented to begin
humbly. Plant, and sow, and read;
build your dwellings, and garnish
them about with fruits and flowers ;
promote agriculture, one of the
great institutions of God; and
when your sons and daughters
grow up like olive plants around
your table, while you fail not to
remember their physical wants, re
member also to supply their intel
lectual food the mind craves; let
them have good books and papers
and proper recreation, that they
may not imbibe the false notion
that farming is drudgery and every
farmer and farmer’s wife a drudge.
As we look about us, how many
sons and daughters of wealthy
farmers we see who despise their
surroundings, and only look on
“father” as a very necessary
machine to coin money for their
expenditure, and “mother,” who
has labored for them every since
they were born, as a very useful
automaton for doing cooking and
general house work.
When you are tilling the rich
soil think how much worthier is
the cause you are prosecuting than
to crowd into some already over
stocked buisuess or profession in
your home town, with only one
object in view—to have white
hands and immaculate clothing,
and to be always struggling with
your limited means to keep up with
those in outward seeming who are
much wealthier than yourselves.
DON’T
Don’t say “He” when speaking
of your husband. Better say
Smith or Green or White than sim
ply “He” We recently met a young
bride of a week who always spoke
of her husband as “He.” “It is
just as he says” she would say,in
stead of “It is just as Mr.
says.” We would almost as soon
have heard her descend to the vul
garism of “My man” common am
ong a certain class of persons.
We do not know why any one ob
ject to a wife calling her husband
by his first name when among inti
mate friens, but it is seldom regar
ded as good form to do so except
ing in the presence of relatives.
No one however, can object to Mr.
Smith, or Mr. White. And don’t
say “Smith.” for “Mr. Smith”

If you want to nail your husband
“Darlingor Love.” pray do so as
often as you like, but always in
privecy aud seclusion of your own
homes. The- people who “love”
and Dove” and Darling” each oth
er in company are often the very
ones who call each other by stran
gely different names when at home
TO ALL nY FR1ENS IN WOODRUFF
COUNTY
I return my sincere thanks for
the very cordial support given me
in the campaign just closed. My
heart is full of gratitude for this
another expression of your abiding
confidence in me as your county
treasurer. Thankful indeed am
I that my friends in Caney and
Cotton Plant have given unreput
able evidence that I was not“couu
ted in” the last p rimary. Having
an abiding faith that the result
will be productive of good to me,
though I see it not now, accept it
aud will cheerfully seek some oth
er aveneue of sustenance.
“With a sigh for those who love
me,
And a smile for those who hatei
Whatever the skies above me.
Heres a heart for any fate.

TO THE PEOPLE OF WODRUFF
COUNTY.
My heart is so full of gratitude
towards the people of Woodruff
Count}7 that I must try to thank
you for your splendid response to
my plea of vindication.
To the mothers and wives who
have aided me so nobly, in my
fight I can but pray that a like dis
pensation of justice be meted out to
you and yours. I want to promise
you my best efforts as your sheriff,
and if I fail to do my whole duty it
will be an error of the head and
not the heart.
To the voters who have opposed
me in this contest Ihave no ill feel
ing, but on the other hand I be
lieve you acted as your judgment
dictated and hope that my further
record will prove my sincerity.
Respetfull Yours.
W. R. Cain.
Bruce Fakes has begun the
erection of his residence on the
corner of Second and Seaman
Streets.
H. S. Taylor’s residence on
Jackson Street, is nearing com
pletion and will add much to the
looks of that portiou of town when
finished.
Mrs. W- R. Foote, of Wynne,
was in the city this week, purchas
ing millinery goods of our up-to
date milliner, Miss Jennie
Thompson.
E. T. Wherry has wonderfully
improved the iuteror of his large
store building by the installation
of a set of six large gas lights.
The lighting system is of the
well known “F. P.” kind and Mr.
Wherry has made a good invest
ment, in the eyes of our citizens.
The dinner and supper served
at the concrete building Tuesday
by the Ladies Aid proved a great
success. Some 250 people were
served which made the receipts go
beyond $80.00. The above
amount will be expended in re
pairing the Methodist church. Not
with standing the Aid is rather
young in our midst, yet much good
is assured from the organization.

Of the Woodruff County Democratic Primary Held

The nominees are: Representative, E. M. Carl-Lee; County judge, J. F. Summers: County clerk
Ed B. Carl-Lee: Sheriff, W. R. Cain: Circuit Clerk, Will Moorman: Treasurer, C. L. Jackson: As
sessor, W- B. Fakes. The Meredith box which failed to report is said to have polled only 15 votes which
if were all cast for any one candidate would not change the result enough to defeat or elect anyone. The
official report for state officers has not, as yet, been given but it is conceeded that Donaghey, Jobe Lud
wig, Crockett, Wood and Hart are the nominees. The race between Andrews and Norwood is somewhat
doubtful. The district nominees are conceeded to be Macon and Williams. Asto the officers for DeView
township, no returns have been obtainable.

You are reading this one.
That should convince you
that advertising in these
columns is a profitable
proposition; that it will
bring business to your
store. The fact that the
other fellow advertises is
probably the reason he is
getting more business than
is falling to you. Would

Brewer, being abseut, she having
been called away on account of
sickness in her family, Mrs. W. B.

for this meeting after a short busi
ness session a delightful social
hour was enjoyed, during which
delicious refreshments were serv

ideal hostess; and a very pleasant
afternoon was spent by all pres
ent.
We were pleased to have several
new members with us, it being
their first meeting they were some
what apprehensive of the initiation
they were to receive. However
they came out without any broken
bones or scarred complexions.
! The Club has received quite a
I lot of handsome new books; which
' will be highly enjoyed during the
long summer days. The booh
committee showed excellent judge
ment in their selection of books
and all are highly pleased with
their work.
Mrs. Bull will be hostess of the
