Correction.

Mr.. T. I. Hicks says the GoLn
LEAF did not quote his remarks made
in the Republican convention Satur-
day before last exactly correct. He
was quoted as saying it was a
straight out Republican meeting and
not a Lily White or White Lily az
fair, whereas he says that what he
did say was that it was a Republi-
can convention and not a Lily White
or Lily Black meeting. 1t appears
that Mr.. Hicks was misquoted in the
use OF one word. While the colOred
brother took no part in the meeting
under the call and owing to its char
acter he was not excluded from par
ticipating therein, nor were any
others calling themselves Republic
cans.
As to the reference about MIR.
Hicks wanting TO 90 to the Leglsla-
ture, he says that when he ran for
that position several years ago he
made up his mind then that he would
not run again. And yet it is an honor
to which any man may aspire and
it is not unreasonable that an am
bilious lawyer should desire TO rep
resent his constituency in the Legis-
lature at least one time. But Mr..
Hicks said he would not enter into Il
scramble even for SO great an honor
as this and if it ever comes to him 1t
must come in different way from
that in which political offices are
usually filed i'll this day and genera
ton.
AS to the number OF persons i'll the
court house Mr. Hicks thinks there
must have been at least 80 although
the GOLD LEAF said there were only
81.
And we'll let it 90 at that.

WOMEN AND JEWELS.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that is the
order of woman's preferences. Jewels
form magnet of mighty power to the
average woman. Even that greatest OF all
Jewels, health, is often ruined in the siren
uous efforts to make or save the money to
purchase them. If woman will risk her
health to get coveted gem, then lei her
fortify herself against the insiduons conse,
quences Of coughs, colds and bronchial
affections by the regular use of DIR. Boschee S
German Syrup. 1t will promptly arrest
consumption in its early stages and heal
the affected lungs and bronchial tubes and
drive the dread disease from the system. 1t
is not a cure all, but it is a certain cure tor
coughs, colds and all bronchial troubles
