Watt, of Charlote, will be the man whom Corporation Commissioner W. T. Lee, will race with if Mr. Watt's friends have their way. A Watt boom is unquestionably going on. So far nobody has been able to link Mr. Watt himself with it. It started several weeks ago when the tax question dropped out of the list of excitements. While the present " commission was gathering up the fragments from a dozen fights, three of the state's acknowledged leaders in their fields of thought, began "sound ing" their fellows with a striking re sponse to the suggestion of Mr. Watt's name. The Charlotte man's tax record com mended him to his boosters. He has never been an officeholder. As chair man of the Mecklenburg board of ed ucation he is credited with having found about $2,000,00 of hidden prop erty and further with having placed it on the books. That didn't heir him much and he was beaten on the board later, but he got the money for his coutny and the pTalse of the peo ple. A list of prominent men "tugging" at Mr. Watt and urging him to come out would leave nothing short of a startle. He is a man of large property interests but what is generally known as the "interests" do not look upon him with favor. That's admitted. His record in Mecklenburg is a tax-finder. He would prove acceptable, his friends say, because he finds the fundamental trouble high rate because the property has not been uncovered. It is admitted by his boosters that he will make no scramble for the office, though they believe that he will allow his name to go into the primary if they will do the work that he has been assured they will do. He would make a personal sacrifice in making the race, but it is the one office that he would hold if tendered him. Mr. Lee was supposed to have an opponent in the far west, Plato Dur ham Ebbs, the solitary Democrat who ,, has -been, able .to carry JVTadisnn naun-J ty in about , two centuries. Mr. Ebbs represented that county in the lower house last spring and shortly after returning home announcment of his candicacy was made. This is the only commissionership open this year. Mr. Watt was in the lifetime of Joseph Caldwell, one of the greatest friends of .that editor who always wanted the state to get the service of such a citizen. Not even Joe Caldwell could persuade him to enter politics. He woudn't do it now. His friends are attending to that. well long be happy Keep well and you will live long. Keep well and you will be happy. Keep clean an dyou will keep well. To keep well: we must keep our bodies clean, we must keep our homes clean, we must keep our community clean we must eat clean food. "Cleanliness is next to godliness." (Write) Cleanliness is next to god liness. XL c?fizen its thee also flag liberty State of -' sing country I must be a good citizen. A good citizen loves his community. He also loves his State. A good citizen loves his country and respects its flag. "My Country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing." (Write) A good citizen lores fiis country. General Carranza may think he's making a popular bid for popularity by saying he wants baseball in Mexi co, but what his worthy peons want is a little more pulque. FOB BENT. Mrs. B. G.

LAID TO BEST. The last sad rites over the remains of young Mr.N. F.Thomas, were held in St. Mary's Catholic church thi3 morning in the prsence of a crowded congregation of sorrowing friends and countrymen, many being natives of his own town, Hammana, Mt. Leba non, and coming for many miles to attend his funeral, which was conduct ed by the pastor of the church, Rev. Father Freeman, who delivered a most beautifol, comforting . and inspiring sermon on the occasion. A special choir rendered the funeral hymns, and a male quartet sang "Lead Kindly Light" and "Nearer, My God to Thee." . ' The remains were laid to rest in the beautiful plot of Mr. W. Ellis in Wil low Dale cemetery, who some months ago laid the remains of a brother to rest there. The floral tributes were very many and very beautiful, coming from friends and relatives near and far.
