THE FIRST GUN OF THE COUNTY
CAMPAIGN FIRED HERE
TUESDAY,.
The Candidates for Public Iono-s
Submit Their c la:ms to Their Fell
low Citizens and Define Their
Positions on Public Matters

Positions on Public Matters.
The county campaign was opened
here Tuesday. The meeting was
held in the court house ard was
we'll attended. County Chairman
\. II. Williams, presided. Nearly
all the candidates were on hand and
submitted their claims to the "dcur
people The ball was opened By
the aspirants for legislative honors,
and some of the speakers made their
first public speech. We give a brief
synopsis Of what each speaker said,
and regret that space will not allow
us to give a report of the speeches Of
all of the other candidates.
Mr.. ". W. Kennedy, candidate for
the legislature, was introduced, aad
took occasion to express his thanks
for the fattering vote given him two
Years ago, and said he felt en-
couraged to come before the. people
again. Defined his position on the
liquor question, saying he was in
favor of the dispensary. Fayors
making the term of all county of
ticcrs four years instead of two, and
Gienmiel sessions of the legislature.
If elected he would support every
measure that would improve the
common schools. Favors the liberal
support of State colleges.
J. DAVIS CARTER
Was introduced and began his
speech by telling a joke. Was a
candidate in response to the request
of his fellow citizens and if elected
would devote his time and attention
to his duties, would look well into
all legislation affecting the interest
of his constituents. Believes the
disprrSary Law the best system Of
controlling the whiskey traffic; faTors
the liberal support of State colleges
and thinks the common scOols should
be better provided for.
P.S. WALL
Would give the people his best
services if sent to the legislature.
Would always be in his seat and
answer every roll call unless proyi-
dentially prevented. Would stand
by the dispensary law. Does not
think the time has come when pro-
hibition would be practicable Mr..
Wall was applaude6.
W. NJ. EEl:Ls
Was called next &ad made good
speech; said grave issues were now
pending and the people must settle
them. The time has come when
every citizen should study the prob
lens before us and be prepared to vote
intclligently. He thought freight
rates should be made more explicit
and that more equitable scale of
charges should be adopted, so that
the rates between local points would
be the same as the rates between
foreign points. Thinks legislation
should be enacted against the forma
ton of trusts and combines, which
inAict such unjust oppression upon
the people. Regards the dispensary
law the best solution of the liquor
problem. The people have endors-
ed it and he would stand by them.
Favors giving State colleges sufficient
money to maintain efficient services
and thinks the common schools
should be more literally provided for.
Promised to do his duty faithfully.

T. =. GOURDiN

T. p. GOURDiN
Advocates broad anG liberal ed
ucation Ill this time of competition.
Has had no experience in legislative
work and was not prepared to adEo-
cate bienniel sessions Of the legis
!aturc, but thinks the matter should
Be submitted to the people; stands
| for good roads but thinks no changes
should be. made in the present sys-
TEN Of maintaining them until a
Better one is devised. Does not
think whiskey drinking can be pro-
hibited by law, and although he
deprecates the evil Of whiskey, and
would b" glad to see it blotted out,
yet under the present conditions the
dispcnsary law should stard.
W. 5. GRAYSON
Declared himself in favor of the
dispensa"y. and said be did not think
prohibition could be enforced. If
elected would do everything in his
power that would promote the best
interests of his county.
JIG. MCCULLOUGH
Was absent on account of sickness
in MS family and sent note OF re-
grcts.
j. L. BH5CKINTON
Favors the dispensary, the selling
of State farms and the employing
Of conyicts in building good roads.
Also favors liberal appropriation
for State colleges and the improve
ment of the common schools.
Thinks the old soldiers should be
provided fer, and if elected would
faithfully endeavor to render COED
account of himself.
j. J. b. MONTGOMERY.
Said the preceding speakers had
touched on al the issues but one
"broad tires IC had been said that
the Legislature had slapped progress
in the face by killing the broad
tire bill, but if given a chance he.
would slap it three times before he
would allow such law to be passed.
Has always favored the dispensary
and if sent to the legislature won!d

Birds That fight Eagles.

In Fouia, one of the Shetland islands,
the natives make a business of rearing
skau gulls in order TO rid the island of
the eagles that congregate there and
commit many depredations. The mag
nificent red sandstone cliffs that skirt
the northwestern coast became a ia
porite haunt of the eagles, and in this
inaccessible spot they increased SO
rapidly that they became a terror to
the farmers and fishermen who dwell
on this isolated spot. The skau gulls
are also strong and fierce and the in
veterate foe OF the eagle. In battle
the gulis are nearly always victorious
and so the Inhabitants Of Fouia hit
upon the novel plan Of feeding and car
ing for the skau gulls, which. though
formidable to their feathered enemies
are very peaceful and docile when
brought in contact with man.

Gastronomic Anarchy.

They say the art of cooking is dying
out in France. Cooks and public agree
In this, but they charge each other
with the cause.
THE French public is degenerate"

be artists. but they are no longer
cooks"
If you want the matter demonstrate
ed" says a Partisan who may be con-
sidered to represent the public. look at
the so called culinary exhibitions given
in Paris every year. These exhibitions
do not ask the judgment of the palate
They ask the judgment of the eye.
They ask you to criticise Swiss chalets
made in butter and Louis XIV furniture
made In cake. They wish to initiate
the salon, and they show lard sculpture
sentimentally disposed In palm bowers
and canvases, with fairgrounds of
string beans, and sunsets Of tomato
catchup. 1t is the last word in impress
sionism, if you like, but 1t is not cook
ery--it is anarchy.-Sketch.

Women. Shoe. and Their Heels.

1t certainly is a pity that women,
with all their neatness and correctness
Of dress, should be so dreadfully lax
about the heels of their shoes. If it is
not clearly understood what is meant
by this, just take a look at the heels OF
the next woman passing. AS she
raises her skirt daintily to cross the
street, there is swish of silken dra-
peries. a wee bit of bright hued rufde
displayed. and, alas, two woefully
downtrodden heels.
The run down heel is a characteristic
of almost every woman-the athletic
girl not excepted. They are exceeding
ly remiss In this direction. When a
mans shoes begin to get run down, he
Immediately bundles them Off to the
shoemaker, who speedily makes them
presentable. Women should take les
sons on this score from their brothers,
and attend to the sloppy" shoes with
out delay.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

And winds that sweep DER oceans plain
