STATE SENATOR.

1t is time the Democrats oI
Montgomery, Clark and Bourbon
we're looking about for a suitable
Democratic represent them in the
State Senate. We don't want any
kind of a thing to represent us
and the Democracy will have moth
ing short of a representative citi-
zen and Democrat. 1t being
Montgomery's time according to
precedent, to furnish the man, il
becomes our especial duty to be
on the lookout. Clarke and Bour-
bon have furnished us from their
best men and we should return the
favor as of heretofore. In these
times parties are demanding men
OF their own political faith, unwa-
voring, and who will contend un-
til the last for principle. A
State Senator should be an honest
man, a sober man, one who is at
tentive to business. Such man
must be called from business, beg
ged and plead with in order to get
him, but only such will meet the
demands of the Democratic party
now. Who will it be? We have
good material and we have that
like the old preachers Deacon,
comparing him with a beautiful
shaped tree, its branches waver-
in the winds, said: "They are
not always as they seem, for some
Of these beautiful forest specimens
are rotten at the butt, a sound
man, one who knows only what is
right, and with the courage to
carry out his convictions. Yes
such men are employed, all their
time has been taken, but from
such the sacrifice must come. We
have many good men, and none
better than Caswell Prewitt. 1t
will take pleading to get him, but
a good quality can be obtained no
other way. What say the Dem
ocracy?

FOR GOVERNOR.

The Hon. James d. Black, Of
Barbourville, has announced his
candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for Governor He is
a Democrat with a consistent rec
ord, and is one Of the most popu-
lar men in the mountain counties.
He is not an extremist, purely a
Democrat strong in debate, void
Of abuse and winner by conclu-
sive arguments. Mr.. Black would
in addition to sweeping the noun
tains, have the strongest following
over the entire State.

Ideas.

Ideas are often poor ghosts; our
sun-filled eyes cannot make them
selves felt. But sometimes they are
mahe flesh; they breathe upon US
with warm breath, they touch us with
soft responsive hands, they look at
us with sad, sincere eyes, and speak
to us in appealing tones; they are
clothed in living human soul, with
all its conflicts, its faith and its love.
Then their presence is power, then
they shake us like a passion, and we
are drawn after them with gentle COM
pulsion, as flame is drawn to fame

FOR CONGREsS.

In this issue we place the
claims of Hon James Banford
White, of the county of Estill, be
fore the people Of the 10th Con
gressional district and ask their
consideration. Do you know
Bob Taylor, "The Fiddle and
the bow?' Judge White is lack
ing in word painting, when com
pared with Taylor, but the deli
cate touch of the bow in his hand
produces that enchanting raptp-
rous vibrating melodies from spea-
king chords that are uplifting to
the very soul. In string melodies
he rivals Taylor, and in the funda-
mental principles of the great
Democratic party, Bob Taylor or
anys.other man is not his peer.
Judge White is strong man,
honorable, industrious, attentive,
and should the party give to
his keeping the trusts he asks, it
would be safely guarded, and re-
turned free of blot or stain. He
is a man OF mature thought, much
experience and a store Of knowl-
edge, so that he would be of no
little aid in the presentation and
passage OF Democratic measures.
To his constituents he would ever
have a sensitive ear, and the needs
OF our country would not be for
gotten.

HOW TO AVOID LocKJAw.
Causes of the Dreaded Tetanus and the
Best Treatment for II.
Bathers have long looked up

Bathers have long looked upon
death by drowning as their chief dan
ger, but there is another peril, less
known but a thousand times more
frightful, the peril Of death beside
which drowning is summer after
Moons diversion - death from the
germ of tetanus, or lockjaw.
The bacillus tetani distils poison
so terrible that the venow Of a rattle
snake is nectar compared to it. One
grain will kill 3O0men.
These death-dealing creatures love
a hot, damp climate. Any grain Of
sand, any tin can or rusty nail or
scrap of meat, or broken clam shell
may have score of them clinging
to it.
These are precisely the conditions
of our American beach resorts-the
moist, warm air, the beach too often
strewn with rubbish, and in any case
Uttered with broken shells and with
bits of wreckage from which broken
nails protrude.
It is strange that the most deadly
work Of the germ is done in late spring
and early autumn. Fifty per cent.
of the deaths from tetanus are due
to wounds on feet or hands.
After the bacillus has entered the
wound from five to fifteen days may
elapse. The bacilh do not themselves
pass into the system. They remain
in the wound, but generate poison
which does their work.
In most cases there are preliminary
symptoms similar TO those of an ap-
preaching cold-a dull ache, located
before the ear, followed by stiffness
in the muscles of the lower jaw. There
is a growing difficulty in opening the
mouth, and attempts to swallow ex-
aggerate the symptom. The jaws
then become locked and the disease
passes downward to the rest of the
body.
In the open air the bacillus remains
inactive. 1t is only when it enters
more deeply and gets away from the
air il becomes dangerous. 1t may be
rendered harmless by cleansing the
wound with a mixture Of one part
carbolic acid in twenty of water. Aft
erward the wound should be filled
with tincture Of iodine.
If the wound should be a deep one,
caused, for instance, by nail, or if it
should be lacerated wound, caused,
for example, by gunpowder, or a
crushed wound, as with a hammer,
the operation Of cleansing may be
difficult matter, and a physician
should be called in, who may inject
antitoxin.-San Francisco Call.

WHO?

A delegate to the National Con
vention must be considered by the
Democracy of the 10th Congress
sional District. We have in mind
from this county three mighty
good men, either one of whom
would represent the district with
credit:-T. G.. Denton, Rufus
Hadden, James d. Upton. They
are not politicians, but depend on
it, they are just men and will be
found on the side of right.

NO CHANGE.

The trustees of the City School
have selected the same faculty for
the coming school year. Prof.
Warheld is Superintendent, but
we hav'nt any knowledge as to
the course of study. 1t seems to
us money could be well spent in
a catalogue, and now between ses-
sions would be the time 70 get it
up. Now that a Superintendent
| and teachers have been selected,
it is the patrons that will take cog
nizance ofadvanced methods and
Improvements. The responsible
ty is with the Superintendent. He
must be acquainted with the meth
ods in teaching, discipline; every
thing, and the teachers must con
form to his methods, be they right
or wrong. He is responsible to
tine trustees and the trustees to
the people. The greatest prog
.ress and most perfect school is
when every factor is agreed and
when one pulls this tension is felt
by each.
The Superintendent is a sugges-
tive force to the trustees, and a di-
rect commanding power to those
under him. He says 60 and teach
mathematics; how? my way, no,
according to the direction Of the
Superintendent.
This school deserves to be ofthe
same grade as Winchester, Car
Isle, Paris and other towns about
us. 1t should enter its graduates
into the College course proper.
Can't it be done?
