(Tho Record, 12th.)

(Tho Record, l2th.)
Mr. A. Howard Patterson, of Barn
WE'LL last night formally announced
his candidacy for Governor. He
made briof statement as to his
platform.
lie stands squarely for the dispen-
saly and says, that, if elected, he
i8WilI 500 that the law Id enforced

He believes in improving the pub
8 lie schools and favors the higher in
situations of leurning. Ho believes
isthats what might be formed primary
s$Bclasses in higher institutions of
3Slearning should be abolished as thoy
belong moro properly to tho high
SCHOOLS. He believes that none but
those who are unable to pay should
receive tho benefit of FREQ tuition in
theSState colleges.
Mr.. Patterson has had Tho guber-
Satoral boo in his bonnet for somo
time, but evidently ho did not know
whore he was at until the legislature
assembled. He says many promi-
$nent men have urged him to make
S5he raco and ho has consented to do
So.
The gubornaiorial campaign is
&thus fairly launched and somo in
Steresting debates may be looked for
this summer Governor McSwoeney
Will, of course, be candidate. He
stands on the disJ ensary platform
too. The Governor has grea! strength
l outside Of political considerations on
account Of his fine business qual;f-
cation, and this goes a long ways
nowadays.
81 political gossips have it that Col.
Willie Jones will ultimately announce
SAhis candidacy. Besides personal
popularity, Colonel Jones's main
strength, like Governor McSwee.
4ney's, lies in kis knowledge of con-
ssfdlpcting properly large business af-
fairs.
Congressman Latimor was talked
Sof considerably as a candidate some
months ago, but his name has boon
lSdropped from consideration, as it is
'scconceded that he prefers to stand for
IKE election.
Wv Senator NIayfield, of Bamberg,
smay be candidate, and Col. Knox

Stioned in connectian with tbs Gov
ernorship. There may be 9th srs
Quietly watching to see what turns
up.
ss An important factor in the contest
SWill be the prohibitionists. The
leaders Of that persuasion are to hold
a conference tonight. This is pri-
5Smarily for the purpose of organizing
5for action on dispensary legislation,
Since this is the time for gubernato-
S8rial booms to be started, the con-
Ference will no doubt consider the
5next campaign. 1t is gonorally be-

Bug in Paris.

One of many precautions woman
should bear in mind, if she proposes Wis
iting Paris during the exposition this
year, is to pack in her steamer trunk some
essentials of life that the French capital
does not afford at American prices While
delicate soaps, perfumes and toilet waters
are cheap and good in Paris, drugs are
difficult to find and expensive, and not
nearly so compactiy put up as at our
home apothecarys. The artful American
traveller who knows this should not fall
in loading capacious medicine case to
the muzzle before sailing away; adding
to the usual yoyager's list a good many
things that may not seem Immediately
essential, for In that gay French city it
is not possible, as in our own least town
or village, to shop for powders and po-
tions all night long if necessary.

Has Written More Than Six Hundred Hymns Which
| #EA Are Sung All Over the Country.


Miss Jennie Wilson, of Whitley Ind,
affords one Of the most remarkable in
stances of triumph over natural disad-
vantages ever recorded. Though a help
less invalid entirely unable to walk,
and. despite the fact that she does not
possess a technical knowledge of music,
Miss Wilson has written over 600 hymns,
which have attained widespread popular
tty and are sung in almost every civ
ilized country on the globe.
There is scarcely a church in the United
States in which Miss Wilson's songs do
not play a prominent part in the serv-
ices, and it may be fairly stated that
her compositions enjoy u popularity sec
ond only to that of such noted writer's
as Sankey or Fanny Crosby.
Yet strangely enough scarcely any of
the thousands who have sung these BEAU
tiful songs realize that their author has
been hopeless invalid for more, than
thirty years, and has been denied all
the advantages which usually are essen
tial to training for literary achievement
Of any kind.
To a great degree this has been due
to Miss Wilson's natural reticence and
sensitive desire that her hymns and
poems shall succeed on their merits and

1t does not come easily to every for

Americans who have a little money to
spend in clothes complain that Paris IS
as costly and twice as inconvenient AS
any American city. Now, as a matter Of
fact. Paris is not the place In which to
buy cheap, elaborate underwear, stout,
handsome, inexpensive shoes, and the d u

Vides so cleverly
If an exposition tripper has made up
her mind to lay out to the limit set by
the customs rules, then let her devote
her energies to the small things Of the
toilet that do cost very little in France,
and which are admirably made, that is
to say, handkerchiefs, gloves, hats, neck
ties. etc. These are to be got easily and
at the smallest prices by finding at the
superintendent office of one of the big
department stores what days are devoted
to occasions" An occasion Is no hing
