charge the duties of the Office intelligently
from the start without laundering. But
word about Mr.. Damron, the nominee of
the Republican party. He is young man
for whom we have high
regard, who is sociable and
sensible But we must be permitted to say
that ne is not such man as the people of
Alexander county fancy for the states at
torneyship. He but recently arrived in
this city from Vienna, johnson county, and
came here with the avowed intention of
running for office. He is a caIpet-bag-
ger OF the true blue kind, who is yet unac-
quainted with the names of the streets upon
which he walks and who, since his arrival
here, has not enjoyed the luxury of appear
ing in single case, either civil or criminal,
in our police or any other courts. 1t is the
belief Of our people that he does not expect to
be elected, and is only making the race in
order to bring himself before the people.
But while these things are urged against
him we mast say that he is, every inch,
gentleman-a man of frank and pleasing
disposition who is apt to make friend Of
everyone with whom he comes in contact.
However, Mr.. Leek is the most deserving
of the two and being man after our own
heart, we unhestatingly express our prefer
ence for bim-as most of our people have
already done and give voice to the gen.
eral belief that there is no sort of q doubt
concerning his election.
1t is an axiom that nature wastes no
power. But the limited penetration OF man
has not been able to discover the actual use
of some natural forces. This, however
does not throw a question upon the econo-
my of nature, it only shows that man has
yet much to learn. One OF the natural
forces which has thus far seemed to be a
waste is the strength attaching to the sons
of Ham in the perfume which chung to
them when they left the spice
laden atmosphere Of the Orient. In
summer this is particularly noticeable
and even in the winter it may become in
tolerable. Many gallons of tears have been
shed by the elect who appreciated the an
noyance of the odor, and many devices
have been adopted to counteract it. All
failed like tho elixir our shrewd Republic
can friends used to sell them in the south
warranted to stake the kinks out of woolly
hair" Casks of extract of musk and
other strong perfumes have been used only
with the result Of intensifying the natural
odor. A boon for sweltering humanity
has been found at last, and by
young photographer named Emmett Hooe.
By the use of Hooe's elixir the most ebony
epidermis may throw up its poisonous cx-
haations in vain. These are neutralized
and sweet, faint smell like a shift of Glow
er-felds takes the place. The elixir is a
chemical preparation which acts as a deod-
orizer and evaporation of Precipitation. 1t
imparts cooling and soothing sensation to
the skin without leaving any bad effect
The discovery, like many others of note,
was made by accident. About six months
ago Mr.. Hooe had servant who discounted
Araby the Blest and Brazilian sandal-wood.
One day in pure desperation Mr. Hooe flung
some of the preparation used for other
purpose) over the highly-favored one, and
in short time was surprised that the dis
agreeable odor had vanished. Hooe was
struck with the idea at once that he had
made an important discovery, which he was
not slow to take hold of and to reduce to
perfection, at which point he says he
brought it about week ago. Since then
he has made several practical tests, and in
each case it worked like charm His
subjects were picked for the
strength Of their personal dis
tlnCtlon as obstacles to individual santa
ton. The discoverer intends getting pat
ent tor the preparation and until then would
rather have the ingredients kept secret.
He has, however, submitted the deodorzer
to the tests of several chemists, who have
pronounced it fine article, free from any
thing that would iniure the pores of the
skin or in any way affect the health. The
mode Of applying the deodorizer
is very simple. Two teaspoonfuls of
the preparation are put into a
half gallon of water, which is taken up
with sponge and applied to the affected"
parts by touch The place can be after
ward rubbed with towel without destroy
ing the effects, which remains for about a
week, when another application is neces-
sary, Mr.. Iiooe thinks The preparation Ca
pable of deodorizing the aroma Of a
goat The dcordorizer itself has mild
and pleasant ordor. The preparation, Mr..
Hooe says, is much cheaper than cologne
