We had occasion to visit the
Office of Turner u Sewer, insurance
agents, yesterday. and found them
snugly fixed up with new furniture,
new carpets with a freshness about
the Office that was truly refreshing,
This firm, who has just launched
into business by buying out Major
A. H. Sewer, has since added seve-
eral strong companies to their list
and we were pleased to hear them
say that their business was good
and growing. To the reporter
Mr.. Turner said. 81 did not EN-
bark in this,business as an idle pas
time with the expectation of turn
ing it loose when l tire of it, but |
expect to make it a business and
will build the same up with the a d
of my partner, who is something OF
a hustler himself" Mr., Seyier was
not in and we could not interview
him but from the looks of the cozy
quarters, we are of the opinion
that he will hang to the business
with the same tenacity as Mr.
Turner expressed for himself. We
wish the young men good business
which we know they will pick uI
as time goes on.

Bucket Brigade.

Friday afternoon we received a
telephone message.trom that clever
gentleman Mr.. S. G. Patterson of
the Hardin Brothers store asking
us to take a ride with him over to
Rose Hill. We accepted the invi-
tation and spent an hour riding
over the various streets.
We found the streets badly
washed aud needing work and the
weeds growing rank on sidewalks
and vacant lots on many of the
streets.
We found Ed Walker at work
erecting another brick store house
near the 4C mill.
We visited the Cotton Belt yards
and round house and found many
tracks filled with empty cars and a
company of men at work repairing
cars, cleaning coaches and at other
jobs that required attention.
We happened to be at the 4C
mill when the six o'clock whistle
blew for a change or shift of men,
and was surprised at the great
number this mill has employed.
They all quit to man and each
one picked up his bucket and
as they filed past the refuse pile of
odds and ends sawed from the ends
of dressed boards, each one should
cred enough to cook their meals,
and they made quite a sight as
they passed out of the yard and de
parted in different directions for
their homes. We only thought if
our city was more on the manufact
uring order than it is, we might
have a dozen factories here employ
ing as many people as does the 4C
mill, and our city would be the bet
ter off for the same.
We enjoyed our ride with Mr..
Patterson, and hope he will find it
convenient to call us up again when
he is on his rounds.

Town Clerk Parkhurst of
Templeton Blew Off the
Top of His Head.

Templeton, Sept. 21.-The town of Tenn
pleton was shocked today by the report
that Charles C. Parkhurst, who for the
past 20 years has been town clerk, had
committed suicide.
For some time past he has been in poor
health, and became Respondent at times,
which led to desire to end his life.
At about o'clock this morning he arose
and taking a shotgun went into a closet.
He rested the gun upon the floor, plac d
the trigger. The top of his head was
blown completely off, and the brains were
blown from their cavity.
The sound aroused the family, the door
was forced open and the body was found.
Medical Examiner e. A SAWYER of
Gardner viewed the remains.
Mr.. Parkhurst was born Feb. IA, 1850, in
Lebanon, n. H, and was a son of the
late Paul K. Parkhurst. Since he was 10
years of age he had lived in Templeton.

marched in the greatest political strug-
gle known in American history, will not
be abandoned by the democratic party
Harmony on the basis of negative
platform, we absolutely refuse. 1t would
mean the defeat and destruction of the
democratic party under an avalanche
of votes.
I'VE pronounce for bimetallism, for
the money of the constitution, for the
free coinage of both gold and silver, the
policy which was followed by this
country from 1889 to 1873, and under
which we grew great, happy and pros
porous.
"On the question Of income tax, the
democratic party stands today as it
stood in 1896.
1.-THE American people have made up
their minds to crush out this serpent of
monopoly, realizing that unless they do
1t will crush them. The republican
party offers no hope of any real oppo-
sition to crush out trusts.
I'VE denounce the policy of the Nc
Kinley administration in it's treatment
Of the island wrenched from Spain as
antagonistic to the principles contained
in the declaration of independence.
1.-THE policy Of criminal aggression,
which was repudiated by the president
by his administration and is being re-
lentlessly carried out upon the people
of the distant Asiatic archipelago
THE honor of the flag which has
been invoked, is not involved. The
American people and the American
army have no business in the Philip
pine islands.
ut is no dishonor for the flag to come
down from over those islands. 1t is a
dishonor for the flag to stay there when
it does not stand for the principles of
liberty, freedom, equality, independ-
ence We have no moral or legal right
to reduce 10,000.0 900 Filipinos to bondage
by fire and sword. The commercial
returns for the conquest Of the islands
would not Justify the sacrifice of the
flower of our youth and manhood in
the tropical swamps.
Nobody pretends that the Philippine
Islands could ever become states of the
American union. and, therefore must
be held as a vassal country, subject to
our control.

The democratic party in Massachu-
sets should, through its representatives
in the legislature, propose legislation
for the public ownership and control
of street railways, electric lighting and
power plants, gas plants, plants for
heat and distribution of power, and for
all services connected Herewith. The
present act providing for municipal
ownership of gas and electric light
plants should be amended so that cities
