A recent Louisiana election was de-
cided by majority of one vote More
over the vote was unanimous in favor
of the sale of liquor in the parish
in which the election was held. The
explanation lies in the fact that
amendments to the constitution of the
state have made registration a pre-
requisite to the right to vote and a
single citizen of the parish had avail
ed himself of the privilege. He was
thus enabled to swing the election as
he pleased.

Austen Chamberlain, the new post
master general of Great Britain and
Ireland, seems to be something more
indeed, very much more, than the son
OF his father. Even in the camp of his
political opponents, where the enc
mics of the Chamberlain tribe cluster
thick as crows in corn field, there is
little cavilling at his appointment. Cen
orally the cabinet honor that has come
to him is regarded as a fit reward for
useful public service and as an index
of his future elevation to a place in
the government of the empire even
more conspicuous.

The great universities Of the coun-
try, at which the four-year collegiate
course has obtained from their incep-
ton, are coming over to the side of
a shorter period of enforced residence
for the bachelors degree. Harvard
led the way and the University Of
Pennsylvania is the most recent con-
vert. Two considerations-the gradual
perception OF the fact that better pre-
pared and ADLER students should not
be held back for the benefit Of their
fellows of less thorough preparation
or minor ability. and, second. the de-
mand of the professional schools for
matriculates who have won academic
degrees, have induced the change. That
it will be God-send to the young
man of high ambition and limited
means there can be little doubt.

fighter who. in ring-side .parlance,
made good in Savannah, has devoted
the savings of some years of the siren

somewhat surprising, to have evidence

OIL SPRINKLED RoADWAYS,

Experiments in sprinkling roads with
crude petroleum have been made in
France with unvarying success. In
California a like success has been
achieved. The surface on which the
oil is used becomes practically water
proof, while all the dust it distributes
comes from the surrounding country
and is no product of the road itself
The gray color the road assumes is
said to be at once pleasing and rest
full to the eye.
Might not the plan be tried with
advantage in Chatham county?
Here there are long stretches of
shelled roadways that, in the middle
of hot summer day, are anything
but restful to the eye and in the mat
ter of dust they are far from pleasant
to the traveller. The advantages of
dust from roads paved with gravel
are only in the color-taste and dis
comfort are about equally unpleas-
ant.
The treatment with petroleum is in
expensive and, If all that is said of
its benefits is true, 1t certainly would
reward a trial. A section of road a
few hundred yards in length would
be ample for purposes of demonstra-
ton and the results thus obtained
could be made with all safety the
basis of future action.
Would not the subject repay the at
tention of the county commissioners?

years old, is suffering from an un-
fortunate and painful acciden t
which happened to him at Faulkner
Saturday. He was working at the
round bale gin and a piece of steel
flew off Of some part of the machi-

eye. His father, Mr.. Sam Wood,
brought him to town and upon the
advice of physicians here took him
to Dallas to be treated by DR.. Nc

morning his boys eye is probably
ruined and may have to be taken

A WORD TO FARM TOlLERS
Paine's Celery
III Compound
The Home Friend OF the Farmer
and His Family in the
Autumn Season.

After the labors and tolls of the
summer time, and harvesting of
crops IN the early autumn, many of
our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in a con-
dition of health demanding careful
attention If suffering is to be avoided
later on. Many experience kidney
trouble i'm some form with some the
liver is torpid: there is billiousness
nausea and vomiting, with loss Of
appetite and depression of spirits.
Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while
toiliug in the harvest fields now feel
the twinges of terrible rheumatism;
others run down by worry, overwork
and irregular dieting, are toruiented
with the pangs Of dyspepsia.
To the thousands OF rundown,
sickly and half dead men aud women
in farm homes we recommend with
all honesty and confidence the work
er's friend, Paine's Celery Com
pound, the only medicine that can
quickly and fully restore strength
To the weak body and yigor to the
muscles. Paine's Celery Compound
tones the stomach; IL removes
poisonous acids from the blood
which cause rheumatism; IL feeds
the weak aud diseased nerves and
banishes neuralgia tortures; 1t puri-
ffes the blood and gives true vitality
and life. The use of Paine's Celery
Compound in autumn means the
establishing Of perfect physical
vigor To withstand the figors Of a
severe winter.

Some weeks since Messrs j A.
McCarty and Vet Cave, two ex-
perience4 cigar makers, came to
this city from Houston and opened
cigar factory in the Texas. Mort
gage Bank building. After a short
time they purchased the factory of
Mr.. /. Mincer and moved it into the
offices occupied by themselves. A
call call was made on them today.
Three men were busy making CT
gars and the quality of the smokers
they are turning out is simply ex-
cellent. Mr.. Cave said that they
were making from 600 to 800 cigars
daily, and were using the very best
stock in every piece of goods turned
out. Their five-cent cigar is an eX-
ceptionalIy good smoker, and it is
believed that when the smokers OF
this city come to appreciate what a
excellent article this home factory
is making there Will be a great de-
mand for their goods. Every smoker
should, at least, give the home
made cigar trial.
