GOOD FOR PRESIDENT ELLIOTT,

Did all the officials take the same
practical, common sense view of rail-
reading and the duty Of railroad men
toward the public, that Warren G. FL
lott, president of the Atlantic Coast
Line does, there would be fewer and
smaller damage verdlcts against them
by juries, and not half as much adverse
legislation. In arguing the exceptions
of his line to the new passenger rates
before the Commission the other day,
Mr.. Elliott took occasion to make the
following very wise and timely observa-
ton:
Zone OF the faults of our business, I
think, has been our reticence. If we
would go out among the people and
educate them as to what we are doing
and trying to do for them and their
State, they would be more friendly to
us and our interests. If we would only
take them into our confidence we would
get better treatment from them. I've
been one of the people myself, before
I became railroad official, eight years
ago. I've often gone up to a ticket
window and had the fellow behind it
peep out to give rude answer to some
question I've asked him; and I've
gone home cussing out agent, railroad
and the whole business.
"Of course that was wrong view of
the matter. The proper way to do un-
der such circumstances would be to
sit down and write some official of the
line, giving the facts. And my word for
it, that fellow would be bounced. That
is the proper thing for everybody to do,
but they don't know it. We don't
want rude and incompetent officials
any more than the people want to deal
with them.
~ tell you we must change our
course In this matter. We lose much
by our reticence. When the people
are treated properly they will treat us
properly. "-News-Ob

A STRAIGHT FIGHT.

Let an appeal be made to the reason,
the conscience of the people. Let the
contrast between the records OF the
Democratic party and the record OF the
Fusion party be plainly, truthfully and
sharply drawn. Let the scandals, eA-
travagances and evil tendencies OF the
party in power be fully exposed, and
this glorious old State will be redeemed
and its control given to the tax-paying,
decent, intelligent and conservative
element.-ConcordT Times.
THE COMMONWEALTH prints the tore
going from our contemporary in the
upper region of the State to let our
readers see what chance fusion stands
up there. The press of the State al
most unanimously have already declar-
ed for straight fight, with no mixture
or fusion of any kind, and those who
shape the policy of the Democratic
party for the coming compaign will do
we'll to heed what the papers say.
THE COMMONWEALTH believes now
has believed all the time, that if the
Democratic party had held its head up
two years ago and declared for its
rights and left off the "mix" that was
showed upon the people Hon. Cy. Wat
son would be our Governor now instead
of Dan Russell.
At any rate, we can not make it any
worse so We declare for a straight
fight and victory if we can in, and
a straight fight and defeat if we can
not win.
We dislike muddy things. Let the
color be true whatever it is.

A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys, Malaria or nervous troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right
away by taking Electric Bltters. This
medicine tones up the whole system
acts as a stimulant to Liver and Kid
neys, is blood purifier and nerve tonic.
It cures Constipation, Headache, Faint
Ing Spells, Sleeplessness and Melan-
choly. 1t is purely vegetable, mild
laxative, and restores the system to its
natural vlgor. Try Electric Bitters
and be convinced that they are mir
acle worker. Every bottle guaranteed.

PER DIEM OF PENITENTIARY
BOARD.
NeWs and Observer.

A Republican, who is in position to
know, said yesterday that the per diem
and mileage expenses of the present
Board of Penltentiary Directors, during
the thirteen months that they have
been on the Board amount to more
than the Democratic Board spent during
the whole four years OF service.
Why not have report from the new
supervisor, SO that matters of this kind
could be shown up?

ONE QF TWO WAYS,

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the
urine. and as such it is not liable to
any form Of disease except by one OF
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action OF the kidneys. The sec
ond way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause OF bladder trou.
bles. So the womb, like the bladder
was created Tor one purpose, and it not
doctored too much is not liable to
weakness or disease, except In rare
cases. It is situated back OF and very
close to the bladder, therefore any pain
disease Or inconvenience manifested IN
the kidneys. back, bladder or urinary
passage is often by mistake, attributed
to female weakness or womb trouble OF
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be AS easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine for twenty
four hours a sedemeut or settling in

mild and the extraordinary effect Of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kid
ney and bladder remedy is soon applied

FOURTH OF JULY DINNER OF TIE BAENUM
q BAILEY SHOW IN GLASGOW.
Dispatches from the American forces at Gla5-
cow delayed in transmission shed light never
shed in this country On the reason OF the great
ness of the Greatest Show on Earth. 1t may
well be that the employees Of Barnum & Bailey
are able to produce great a show because
they feed themselves so greatly-if, that Is TO
say, they eat as much every day as they did
on the Fourth # July.
Tho Glasgow papers say that the snow poo
pie had tn, big dinner in that city on the
Fourth e July partly because il was Indc-
pendencc Day AMI parity because 1t was Mr..
Bailey birthday. That may be true. hut has
not Nh Bailey had a birthday on the Fourth
az July in every year that the show has been
at hons. and has not that day always been In
dependence Day? Yet no such elaborate ALTAR
this was ever thought necessary at home.
Perhaps it wGs just because they were away
from home that the show people felt more
mOvcd to celebrate the National holiday than
before And perhaps the glory Of American
arms which Is ringing around the world also
inspired them
