disposes Of the interest of the wage
Garner i'll this Presidential campaign
thus:
This wage question is filling a
large place in the campaign, but it
cannot be too often presented.
Stripped of useless verbiage, it may
be stated thus: Wages are payable
in dollars. not in commodities. 1t is
proposed to reduce the purchasing
power of dollar 40 per cent, or to
put up the prices of commodities by
that amount, which is the same
thing, without any guarantee or
promise that the employers will III
crease the rate Of wages oL1 cent"
Wages are payable in dollars not
in commodities. True enough. If
they were payable in commodities
and commodities were dear, wages
would be low. Eeing payable in
money, as the Evening Post points
out, if money becomes dear wages
will 60 down. The only effect of
such contraction OF the currency as
the Republican party is now striving
to pring about will be to make mon

The Tazewell Republican takes
mp good deal of space this week
trying to prove that Democrats

We desire to call our contempo.
raries attention TO the following
clippings from letter to the Bris-

which give the closing remarks of
Gen. Walker and Judge Williams
in joint debate at Stratton in
that county:
General Walker said:
"Thcre are two kinds of men
who never change their opinion.
One is those who have not sense
! enough TO change. The other is
those who know enough, but who
are so deeply dyed in part san
spirits that they cannot change
and those are the damn fool demo
Gratis"
Now we would like to ask the
editor of the Republican fair
question and desire an honest an
swer.

the case we would like to ask
what right has a man to make all
these statements in "a public
speech and then expect the peo.

creep to his feet like whipped
cur and lick his hande
Judge Williams closed his side of

one third for waste, that would mean n

clusively rock elm. This is for the rims

A MEDICINE CRAZE.
An Englishman Who Swallowed Over
100000 Pills


A man in Vienna has developed r.
mania for medicine. of which he swal-
lows large doses daily, although suffering
from no illness, says the New York Jour
nal. This is Il form of lunacy not alto
gether unknown.
To Heckington, in England belongs the
honor of being the birthplace of the
largest consumer of medicine the world
has ever known. This was Samuel .Jes-
sup, Il rich glaZier, who died in 1917. He
was in many ways eccentric, but in none
so much rs in pill taking, or what u
cbronicler of the period describes as "a
most inordinatc craving for physick."
The following figures may be regarded
as incredible, but there seems no reason
to doubt their accuracy. In the twenty
one years from 1895 to 1916 Mr.. Jessup
consumed 226,03l pills, which is at the
rate of 10,SO6. year.. or twenty nine n
day.
Many more of these were taken in the
latter than in the early years. From
1911 to 1916, II period of five years, the
rate of consumption averaged seventy
eight per day, while in .one single year,
1914, Mr.. Jessup swallowed as many rs
81, 800 pills.
These astounding figures came out in
the course of an action tried at the Lin
coin assizes in 1917, when an apothecary
of Bottesford, who had supplied the
whole of the medicine, sued Mr.. Jessup
for the amount of his bill In spite of
taking all these pills. with the addition
of 10000 bottles of juleps and mixtures
and electuaries, Mr.. Jessup, who was I'M
married, lived to the age of 65. The
apothe;ary's bill, for the amount of
which he was sued, covered no less than
fifty.live long and closely written pages
