CARD FROM PROF. BURRUSS.

Mount Pinson, Aug. Is.
To the State Herald:
"All people here know that in the
spring of 1892 Burruss was for Kolb,
but changed and voted for Jones'"
The above statement was made at
Mount Pinson on July 25, 1896. 1t was
claimed that the author of the statement
was Mr.. j. w. DuBose. Then and there
l pronounced the author, whoever he
might be. liar. After conference with
mutual friends l am led to the conclusion
that Mr. DuBose was under the impress
sion that his statement was correct at
the time he made it. In this he was mis-
taken, as he was in many other impress
sions concerning my political action and
record. / do not believe he intended
to perpetrate deliberate falsehood as
my acquaintance with him has always
impressed me with the belief that he is
a man of unquestioned and unquestien-
able honor and veracity. | now with
draw the offensive expression, liar,
and substitute the following exhibit:
During the state campaign of 1892 we
were familiar with the political position
OF Professor Burruss. and we know that
he supported Colonel Jones in 1892, and
we never heard of his being supporter
Of K Obj at any time during the cam
paigu or 1892

NAP0LEON'S VALUE OF VICTORY.
1t Finds Striking Counterpart in Recent
World Triumphs.

Napoleon knew well the value of vic

his. Fame invited, fortune favored, ev-
erything stimulated his aspiring ambi-
ton. With growing power he gathered
the fruits of victory. And SO has 1t ever
been. Success succeeds A notable il
Illustration of this truth is furnished by
the great victories won at the Worlds
fair In 1913 and the California Midwinter
fair in '94 by DR.. Prices Cream Baking
Powder. Ever increasing sales and pop
uiarity have been the result The people
have promptly ratified the official ver-
diets that declared DIR. Prices for lelven-
ing power, keeping qualities, purity and
general excellence the foremost baking
powder in all the world" Quite as quick
ly as the great emperor do they know the
value of q victory that means worldwide

Farmers say now that their crops will
be from 10 to 20 per cent shorter than the
estimates they put on them a few weeks
ago. This is on account of the terribly
hot weather, which has caused the bolls
to open prematurely, shriveling and
burning up the fruit after it was open.
