1t is almost unnecessary for us to
more than state that 'Fayette Wright
Is candidate for sheriff of Crawford
county. subject to the action of the
Democratic party. Mr.. Wright is well
known to nearly everyone in the county
and his friends are many. That he

to make Crawford county a good sheriff
and the Democratic party good
standard bearer, should he be the
choice. no one will gainsay. Give his
claims a careful consideration before
casting your vote.

About Stock.

The time for shipping cattle from this
and sections further south into northern
markets without quarantining them is
closed. An effort is being made by our
representatives to have established
dipping watts on the quarantine line on
the various railroad lines and we hope
they will be successful. 1t is an almost
established fact that the Texas fever Is
caused by tick and that dipping In a
certain solution destroys them without
injuring the animal. This dipping can
be done at very slight expense per
head and would mitigate the hardship
inflicted by the quarantine regulation
considerably.
Our attention was called recently to
the law enacted by the last legislature
that prohibits the importation of mules
into this state during the time that the
quarantine against cattle was in effect

An American Bible.

St. Louis Republic Special.
NEW YORK. Jan. 1S.-The year 1899
will be year of note in the history of
the Bible. Our familiar phrase, 1.-The
English Bible, will then take on a
new meaning. The publication of a
distinctively American Bible will be.
in limited way, sort of declaration
of independence.
Strictly speaking, the new Bible will
be Anglo American, with emphasis on
the American. 1t will represent the
combined scholarship of the kindred
peoples. distinctively marked by
American improvements.
The American Standard Bible will be
published in the latter half of 1899. 1t
will be what is now known as the re-
vised version, but with prominent
differences. These differences will
mainly be in the points of disagreement
between the British and American
committees of revision. AS to these
the "English Churchman has said:
1.-The transatlantic revisers though
frequently placed in minority. were
frequently much nearer accuracy thar
were the English company.
At present the American readings and
renderings to the extent of two dozen
pages stand in appendices to the revised
version. They will now be substituted
in the text for the British readings and
renderings. A few other changes will
probably be made in the correction oi
occasional "inadvertencies in the
revision. This work is now being per
formed gratuitously, as the entire worl
of revision has been. Its finished re-
suit will be noble gift Of self denyinf
scholars to their countrymen. Strict
stipulations have been made with tn.
publishers to maintain the American
version in its integrity as our standard
version of the Bible.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Philadelphia
Press from the South Carolina cotton
milling district writes that one Of the
main reasons why Eastern mills cannot
compete with Southern mills is because
of the employment of child labor and
low wages We think If the South can
only secure these factories at the ex-
pense of child labor and underpaid
adult labor it be better that they not
come. Will anyone claim that a
factory employing an army of men and
children at starvation wages is of benefit
