to instruct for him. Thus Col. b got
half Of Washington county.
How was this generosity, this mag
nanimity, this disposition to do right
and to act fair, on the part Of Judge
Hacker and General Fain met by the
opposing candidates? The answer is
a blighting, blasting, burning shame
to men who are now asking to be elect
ed to positions where it will be their
duty to enforce law and promote NOR
ality. Judge Hackers enemies in
Hankins, who we're for Brown because
they wanted TO beat Hacker, and
Canpbell's friends lead by his brother
in-law conspired together, and by
means that ought to make every hon
est man blush, packed a delegation
almost solid against Judge Hacker
and absolutely solid against Genl
Fain, and that too, in a county where
it isconcededby every man who knows
the facts and is willing to tell the
truth, that Hackers and Fain's friends
were largely the majority. If the
friends of Brown and Campbell had
acted as fairly as the friends of Judge
Hacker did in Washington, or as
friends Of Hacker and Fain did in Car
ter, the last named gentleman would
have been easily nominated. Bnt
alas, nobleness and generosity of some
was repaid by treachery ana rascality

The Republican party have fixed
them up an issue for the coming cam
paign. Speaking fguratively, it is
the same old bloody shirt with a new
tail. Speaking plainly, it is the Presi-
dents veto OF private pension jobs.
The Democratic party ought to be
more than willing to meet them on it
1t is a cry that is certain to come back
on the Republicans with a large and
enthusiastic rebound. In order tC
make the issue effective as a party cry
it will not be sufficient to deal in in
vectives and denounce the President
as an enemy to the Federal soldiers
The people will very readily under
stand that the President can have NJ
motive for dealing unjustly with thu
Federal soldier. They must show, anC
the burden OF proof will be on them
that the evidence did not justify thu
veto. Neither will it be sufficient t.
show that in some cases he has beer
mistaken, if it appears that he wa
generally right. Thepeople who hav,
begun to learn that great many job
manage to sneak through Congress
will beapt to believe that these are som,
of them. The appeal to soldiers predju
dice will also be in vain. The soldier
Of the war desire that pensions shall
be paid to those who deserve them
1t is in the nature Of an insult to tn
real soldier, who suffered in the ser
vice of his country, that he is place,
upon the same footing with the pei
| jured knave. Unless some check
placed upon this growing evil, tn
time will soon come when man VIII
gets his pension by private bill vii

There is but one way to rebuke the
fraudulent manner in which A. j.
Brown and H. T. Campbell werenom-
mated, and that is to vote for c. j.
st. John, for Circuit Judge, and Rob
ert Burrow, for Attorney General,
Hundreds Of good, honest, substan-
tial Republicans throughout the first
judicial circuit will do that thing.
A man who wants to wear the Judi
cial ermine, the man who wants to en-
force the law and promote morality
ought not to accept nominations that
his best friends declare were procured
by fraud.

1t has never been denied that the
chairman of the Hawkins county Re
publican convention, aided by Camp
bells brother-in-law scratched out the
names of two Hacker and Fain men
after they had BEEN agreed upon by
the committee on delegates, without
the knowledge or consent of the COM
mittee If these two men had remain
ed on the list, Campbell could not
have been nominated. The scratch
ing out OF these names was fraud
the nomination secured in this way
was a fraud. No man is obliged tc
support a nomination procured by
fraud. A party is better off when its
fraudulent nominees are defeated.

l. That there is any nutriment in
beef tea made from extracts. There
is none whatever.
2. That gelatine is nutritious. It
will not keep a cat alive. Beef tea
and gelatine, however, possess a
certain r%eparative power, we know
not what.
3. That an egg is equal to a pound
of meat, and that every sick person
a eat eggs. Many, especially those
of v or bilious temperament,
cannot eat them, and to such eggs
are injurious.
4. That, because milk is an impor-
tant article of food, it must be forced
upon a patient. Food that a person
cannot endure will not cure.
5. That arrowroot is nutritious.
1t is simply starch and water, useful
as a restorative, quickly prepared.
6. That cheese is injurious in all
cases. 1t is, as a rule, contra-indi-
Gated, being usually indigestible;
but it is concentrated nutriment and
a waste repairer, and often craved.
7. That the cravings of a patient
are whims, and should be denied.
The stomach often needs, Graves for
and digests articles not laid down in
dietary. Such are, for example,
fruit, pickles, jams, cake, ham or
bacon with fat, cheese, butter and
milk.
8. That an in1exible diet may be
marked out, which shall apply to
every case. Choice Of a given list
of articles allowable in a given case
must be decided by the opinion Of
the stomach. The stomach is right
and theory wrong, and the judgment
admits no appeal.
A diet which would keep a healthy
man healthy might kill a sick man;
and a diet sufficient to sustain a
sick man would not keep a we'll
man alive. Increased quantity Of
food, especially Of liquids, does not
mean increased nutriment, rather
decrease, since the digestion is oven
taxed and weakened. Strive to give
the food in as concentrated a form
as possible. Consult the patients
stomach in preference to his
cravings; and if the stomach rejects
a certain article, do not force it.

60 so far as to defend luxuries in
this way. Therefore we may only
keep fowls SO long as u doing so
does not intrude upon the comfort
or rights of our neighbors, and if it
can be proved that by our doing SO
either one or the other is infringed,
then if they like to defend them
selves, they car compel us to put a
stop to what is a nuisance 10 them.
In a country district this would be
somewhat difficult to do, but in a
town both reason and truth can
soon be worked upon, and several
cases show that the law is as we
have stated"

DON'T BE A GRUMBLER.

Don't be a grumbler. Some peo-
pie manage to get hold of the prick
Iy side Of everything, to u against
all the sharp and disagree
able things. Half the strength spent
in growing would often e things
right. You may as we'll make up
your mind to begin with, that no
one ever found the world 'qnite as
he would like it; but you are to take
your part Of the trouble and bear it
bravery. You will be sure to have
burdens laid upon you that belong
to other people unless you are a
shirker yourself; but don't grumble.
If the work needs doing and you
can do it, never mind about that
other who ought to have done it
and didn't. These workers who fill
up the gaps and smooth away the
rough spots, and finish up the jobs
that others left undone-they are
the true peacemakers, and worth a
whole regiment of GROWERS.

KEEP POULTRY AT HOME.

Mr.. Stephen Beale, an English
authority on poultry, has this to
say about keeping poultry that de-
predate on neighbors:
cit will be conceded at once that
whilst everyone has a right to keep
fowls, no one has a right to do so at
the expense of the comfort or health
of others. And as soon as it is found
that they become a nuisance in any
way, then the law at once steps in
and says that this must not be, nor
is it fair to expect that it should be
so. Poultry keeping in towns is a
luxury, even if the law permits the
carrying on of business though it
is annoying to neighbors, it does not

IMPOSITION AND POULTRY
RAISING.

1t seems the for keeping
poultry together in large numbers,
as advocated by a class of theoreti-
cal book writer's, has been as rife in
Great Britain as here. The place to
raise poultry is on the farm, but
nevertheless it may be undertaken
by one Of experience, if separate
runs are provided for each so to 100
fowls, and these run and houses are
kept perfectly clean, and the runs
changed from time to time and cul-
tivated. In relation to this matter
in Great Britain, a contemporary
writer has this to say:
"The age of imposition has by no
means passed away, as has been
abunduntly proved of late, but it is
really surprising to find what fool
ish ideas there + abroad with
respect to poultry farming, largely
due to some pamphlets and books
written by those who evidently do
not know what they + writing
about. These in a plausible way
have promised eggs at a cost which
sold at ordinary prices, would leave
several hundred per cent profit to
the producer. OF cours this was
only to be secured by following the
plans recommended in the books very
often found impossible in practice.
The result has been most disastrous.
Many persons have been induced to
launch heavily into pountry farm
ing,spending large sums pm houses,
fencing, ETC., and, having no previ-
Gus experience, have found the whole
a delu sion and a snare. Those who
by false statements deceive others
deserve more than ordinary repro
baton, and the injury done is not
confined to the immediate sufferers
but to the nation at large; as many
who might succeed r prevented
making the attempt from these fail

GODS LOVE AND MINE.

Gods love is like a lighthouse tower.
Ny love is like the sea;
By day, by night, that faithful tower
Looks patient down on me.
By day the stately shaft looms high,
By night its strong lights burn,
To warm, to comfort, and to tell
The way that | should turn.
Gods love is like a lighthouse tower,
My love is like the sea;
He strong, mistaken as the rock;
| chatting restlessly.
Gods love and my love! Oh, how sweet
That such should be my 10y!
Gods love and mine are one to-day:
No longer doubts annoy.
By day or night He gazes on
Ny bitter, blackish sea;
Forever tends it with his grace,
Though smooth or rough it be.
So, singing at it's base, it rolls,
And leaps toward that tower,
That all my life Eliminates.
And brightens every hour.
Gods love is like the lighthouse tower,
NY love is like the sea;
|, peevish, changeful, moaning much;
Steadfast, eternal, He.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

-Forty-two new chemical ele-
ments have been discovered during
the past ten years.
During the three days Of the
massacre of st. Bartholomew, Aug
ust 1926, 1872, there were over
$4,000 victims sacrificed.
The average rate Of yield for
the hay crop in this country this
year is IL tons per acre, and the
apparent total product $4,000, 900
tons.
The November crop report of
tn Department Of Agriculture
shows that the yield of corn is
twenty-five bushels per acre, a total
product of 1868, $50 600 bushels.
Potato is used to clean steel
pens, and generally acts as a pen
wiper. 1t removes all ink crust and
gives a peculiarly smooth flow to
the ink. Pass new pens through
a gas flame and then the ink will
flow freely.
The exports Of apples for the
week ending October %, aggregated
upwards of 10000 barrels, over one
half Of which was shipped to Liver
pool. New York is shipping only
a small portion Of the apples export
ed at present.
Late advices from France report
that millers there appear to be turn
ing their attention more to foreign
wheat, owing to the defective condi-
ton of home grain and the scarcity
of dry native wheat. French foreign
requirements r. placed at 44,OOO,-
600 bushels of wheat.
Wick says a spot for pansies
should be selected where it is a little
shady, at least in the middle Of the
day. A place entirely shady is not
desirable. A light soil, made rich
with well-rotted stable is
the place for them.
In 1870 there were about 20
600 blind persons in the United
States. The first public asylum for
the blind established in our country
was the Perkins Institute and Mass
sachusetts Asylum for the blind,
founded in 1892. In 1876 there were
twenty-seven institutions in the
United States for the instruction of
the blind.
Measuring the candle power
Of light is accomplished by com
pairing the shadow cast by a rod in
in the light of a standard candle
with the shadow cast by the light
to be tested. By moving the latter
toward or away from the rod a
point will be reached at which the
shadow cast by both lights will be
Of the same intensity. The inten-
sity Of the two lights is directly pro-
portional to the squares Of their
distances from the shadows, i. e.;
suppose the light to be tested is
three times the distance of the can
die, it's Illuminating power is nine
times as great.

1t is claimed that the increase
in the number of persons using
glasses is fully .335 per cent. over
previous periods. This is set down
as partly due to the practice people
have of buying glasses of unskilled
persons and partly to the notions of
economy in buying cheap glasses.
The number Of opticians, of course,
has correspondingly increased.
