pie subseryient to their own self
ish wills. let us take the advice of
ex Gov. McCreary and hold prima
ries throughout the State and get
an expression from the people con-
corning the election of a United
States Senator, Which is to take
place next winter. Except in a
few instances where Doodle might
get in its work, the State Senators
and Representatives would he glad
to vote under instructions from their
constituents, and the holding Of "a
primary election concerning this
matter would be framing instruc.
tions to influence the senators and
representatives. The choice of a
majority of the Democrats in each
county and legislative district is
what would certainly control, and
we know of no better way to get at
the matter than to hold primary
elections to get an unequivocal ex-
preston. No candidate can offer a
reasonable objection to any plan
that will show forth in plain terms
what a majority of Democrats
want.-Harrodsburg Democrat.

A Lesson for Young Men

The young man who expects to
succeed in life must cultivate the
saving habit, says the Sedalia
Democrat. The men who are at
the front in business and profess
ional circles are those who learned
to save their earnings and invest
them. One of the successful men
of Sedalia once said to the Demo-
crat; II never had much trouble
making money after l had saved up
my first $1,000" Why2 Because
he then had a small working CAPT
tai and had formed the habit of al
ways saving something from his
earning. There is a lesson in this
for young men who really desire to
succeed.

Editor In Trouble.

Editors sometimes get into trou-
BILE when no trouble is dreamed of,
as did the Missouri editor who
thought he was writing a very nice
obituary notice. In speaking of a
respected old lady in his town he
made his paper say; She was a
devoted Christian until about four
years ago. when she joined the Bap-
fist church."

OTHERS ATTACKED

With parting injunction to do
what he had sworn to on taking his
oath, Mrs. Nation, followed by an
army of people and with a body
guard of newspaper men, started
for the county attorneys office.
"The Governor and Attorney Cen
eral are lodging" she said, "but
there's no lodging my Ratchet"
To County Attorney Nichols she
repeated her demands, and finally
said she wished to swear out a war
rant for the saloon keepers wife
who attacked her with a broom
stick.
She then went to the Office Of
Sheriff Cook. The Sheriff was
soon in a rage and boiling oyer with
anger under her scorching attack.
Cook finally asked Mrs. Nation to
private office to continue the ar
gument alone.

First.-When bona fide house
Keeper with a family has used and
cultivated tract of land for the
support of his family from the time
of its acquisition, the fact that it
was not contiguous TO the tract on
which his dwelling house was loca-
ted does not deprive him of the
right under the homestead statute
to have the deficiency in value of
the dwelling house tract supplied
by enough OF the larger tract to
make his homestead of the value Of
$1,000.
Second.-a debtor is entitled to a
homestead exemption in land occu-
pied by him with his family as a
home, to the extent that he had
paid for the same before the crea
ton of the debt to which the prop
erty is thought to be subjected,
Notwithstanding a part of the pur-
chase money remained unpaid at
the time of the creation of the debt
sought to be recovered.

MRS. NATION
Continues the Crusade Against
Saloons.
Accuses the Governor of being
a Law Breaker and
Perjurer.

Mrs. Carrie Nation. who has at
tracted so much attention by her
attacks on the saloons and whisky
men of Kansas, is said by some peo-
pie to be crazy. We make no such
accusation. While her method of
procedure may not be lawful, the
object to be accomplished is GER
tainly a prisworthy one-the abol-
ishing. suppressing the whiskey
traffic. The following report will
Do interesting:
On Jan. %, at>Topeka, Kas., Mrs.
Carrie Nation visited the Office ofthe
Governor, VIM. E. Stanley, and
for a solid hour arranged the chief
executive OF the State for his fail
are to close saloons in Kansas.
Then in turn she visited the offices
of Att orney General Goddard.
County Attorney Nicholas and
Sheriff Rorter S. Cook and demand
ed OF each that they close saloons.
Mrs. Nation in turn upbraided
Governor Stanley for his failure to
uphold the laws against liquor sell
ling or begging him for aid to carry
. on her crusade. She put her ques-
lions with fierceness and answered
them herself, without giving the
Governor time to utter complete
sentence.
.'LAWBREAKER, PERJURER."
'sYou can close every saloon in
Kansas II yoa viii, Governor Stan
ley" she said with force.
"You can do tiff you want to,
hut you won't. You are a law
breaker yourself if you don't. You
took your oath of office to keep the
constitution. You refuse my re-
quest, you are not only lawbreak-
er, but a peUurer."
She repeated these words of &C
eusation again and again. He
tried to make reply, but she gave
him no chance.
Finally, his temper gone, Gov
ernor Stanley rose from his chair
and shouted back: "You cannot
come here and talk this way to me.
You are g woman. but went stand
it. 1 will have to leave If you can
not :"
al am a mother. am
grandmother and represent the
mothers of the State"
"You don't. You don't represent
them" almost shouted the Govern
or.
The room was in an uproar.
Then Mrs. Nation talked more
calmly, pleading with the Govern
or to aid her.
INVITED TO HELP SMASH SALOONS.
"You come With me and help
smash Saloons" she urged, and then
she added: "It you won't help US
If you won't help me, I'll go
around and I'll smash smash
smashl Governor.
"The devil seems to have cinch
on men, but he hasn't cinch on
the hatchets and rocks
Finally Governor Stanley volun-
teered; "You get the prosecuting
attorneys of different counties to
put the joint keepers in Jail and
I'll see that they are not pardoned
out"
This promise instantly trans
formed Mrs. Nation. She fairly
beamed with joy, and thanking the
Governor, started to the office of
Attorney General Goddard. She
forced her way into the private of
fee and introduced herself with
these words:

TIMBER SOLD CNEAP.
Ten Dollars for the flights of $40
Acres i'm BuIIOch.

Statesboro, Ga, Aug. 6.-The entire
timber right, and it is good we under
stand of it's kind, on three hundred and
forty acres of Ogeechee river bottom
timber sold here to-day for $40. There
was only one bidder and one bid. The
trouble seems to be with getting it out
of the swamps. The river is not nav
igable, and is not kept open for drifting
and the swamps are impossible prac-
tically all the year. The equipments
used by the Bulloch county chain gang
while they were worked on the county
roads, were sold also. They consisted
of tools and camping outfit, spades,
saws, etc.
Mr.. A. NJ. Johnson gave up the man.
agement of the Johnson Hotel to-day
and moved back on his farm near Ru-

who once operated the Stillmore Hotel,
but late of the Hotel Meter, will take
his place. ...-.
Marshall Hixon of Meter brought in
a negro from that town, named Frank
Pollard, this morning, charged with
raping woman of his own color. The
crime was committed Saturday, and
Hixop says feeling was running so
high among the negroes that the pris-
oner had to be brought away for safe
keeping. He says the negroes would
have been sure to break into the guard
house and lynch Pollard.
