Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind in the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
mouths, years. The story of weakness
and torture is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, in the list
less eyes, in the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Inboru modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope Of
relief lies in the exposure of examina-
tion and "local treatment"
Take ten cases of "female weakness"
and in nine of them 1ocal treatment"
is unnecessary, There is no reason why
modest, sensitive women should sub
nit to it. NHnEE, REEFS

A Conservative Estimate Gives the County
 to oJohnston.
 Dadeville, July 29.-(Special Core spondence.) .)-From now until Monday the democrats of Tallapoosa will not cease to work for Johnston and the county ticket. Good news Is coming from almost every quarter. The populites are altering to trade Goodwin for their county candi- dates, and 1t is almost a certainty that Johnston will carry the county. Besides the candidates on our county ticket, Messrs. T. L. Bulger, w. M. Lackey R. T. Parker, w. c. Roeck. A. c. Miller and J. P. Oliver, 'Jr, have been doing noble work for the democratic party. The forces, with few exceptions right here in Dadeville, are working harmoniously. Unfortunately, many falsehoods are be- ing circulated by certain populites to in- fiuence the unsuspecting by arousing their prejudices.

ature is engaging more thought and careful attention this year. probably, than ever before. MT. Heath's idea of campaign literature Is that 1t should be above question and even above suspicion as to accuracy and that 1t should be so prepared that 1t can give offense to no one, not even to the members of the op- position. In carrying out this idea every bit of manuscript intended for public distribution is read by at least three per- sons before 1t Is put into type, and then carefully revised. Mir. Heath reads con- tributions, first, to judge of their general suitability and availability. After that they go through the hands of two or three others, whose duty4it is to see that they are absolutely accurate.
 All epithets and harsh terms that might give offense, like "repudiation" and silver. craze" and t'fnancial heretie' are barred from campaign documents. The purpose is to make every bit of liter ature accurate in figures and terms and quotations, and impartial in tone, as if it were issued from a. strictly non partisan source. The republican cam paign managers intend to rely upon the logic of facts and figures instead of upon scintillating abuse
 One reason for the adoption of this rig i'd rule may be found in the character of some of the alleged republican campaign literature disseminated before the na- tional committee took hold of the work The Mckee book, issued from Washing ton, which has received some attention in the newspapers and has been found to contain arguments and deductions any thing but republican, and "The Silver snake" document prepared in the H. 1inois republican headquarters and cir culated hence, are cases in point. Almost every page of the latter work has been found to contain sufficient evidence to impeach the truthfulness of the whole argument. Neither of these books has ever been circulated by the national com mittee, and neither they nor any like them will be circulated The obvious po- sition of the national committee is that one error of fact in a campaign document not only destroys the value of that par ticular document, but also throws sus- picion on every document that may come from the same source.
 One of the first campaign leaflets to be issued will be one of interest to miners. 1t will give the argument of the silver miner who swings the pick, showing that free coinage will be inimical to his per- sonal interests, although 1t may be good thing for the corporations that pay his wages.
 National headquarters received 480 pounds of statistical matter from Wash ington yesterday morning for use in the literary bureau This consignment con- sists largely of government reports and tables covering every phase of the finan- cial question from mintage to currency circulation and bond issues. This is for the use of the experts.
 Fred H. Wines of Springfield became an attache of the literary bureau. He ment in Washington and is an expert in figures The republican managers are looking for skilled workmen only to pre- pare the campaign literature.

 Evergreen. July 29.-(special Corre- spondence 1.-The county democratic committee held its last meeting before the election in the court house on Tues day, the 18th instant. Twelve out of thirteen beats were represented. Each beat was canvassed in turn and a full re- port made as to the vote of each precinct. The outlook was anything but discourag- ing to democracy. The republican candi- date for representative and his kites tail" of pops have canvassed every hole and corner of the county, using the party lash for all 1t was worth, but light is dawning upon the better class of our peo- pie who four years ago strayed off after false gods. Since the Chicago convention the old time usage or custom of staying away from democratic speakings has passed and people turn out as in the days of yore to hear the old doctrines. Our county committee has issued an address to the voters regarding the new election law which, if strictly adhered to, will swing old Conecuh back into the demo- cratic column.

Chicago Times-Herald.
 The republican campaign in the west has actually begun. Yesterday found every department at headquarters in running order. The literary bureau is working full time, and the managers of the campaign are keeping regular office hours.
 Chairman Hanna is not expected to re- turn here before next Monday. Mean while Charles G. Dawes and Henry c. Payne of the executive committee are pushing details of organization, and Perry s. Heath is setting the printing presses in action on literature. MT. Hanna was in New York with the east ern section of the executive committee conferring in relation to headquarters and other campaign business. He will likely remain there until the system has been so perfected that he can come back to Chicago and stay here.
 The campaign will be given big boom in Columbus, O.. week after next. Au- gust 12 will mark the opening of the cam paign in that state. Major Mckinley will touch the button.
 The plan of campaign, as heretofore drawn, has not contemplated the appear ance of the presidential candidate on the stump. His appearance in Columbus will probably be his only one outside of Cam ton in public discussion of the political issues The campaign managers do not want to see him rambling around the country making speeches like a oandi- date for sheriff. but 1t is deemed entirely within the bounds of propriety that he should appear at Columbus before his served so eha many years in BSbc ties.
