am in no way a politician, and as
yet have made no reply to the inqui-
ries regar ding General Mccullough
in the Vermont senate of '9S, as l am
not of the opinion that so much news
paper talk on the matter will avail
much. But will say at this time
that the General was very popular in
the senate of 1913, and no one then
thought he was Sinking his duty as a
senator in any way, neither did it ap-
pear that he came there like some, to
air himself, which would have been
very unbecoming and unexpected
from so able man. [ am a true
friend of the Hon. Fletcher d. Proc
tor, but I did think it an inopportune
time last fall for him to announce
himself as a candidate for Governor,
all things considered, and was pleased
when learned he was not to do so,
and sorry when he again changed his
mind and commenced his canvass
1t would come to this in time. l was
very much pleased to have the OPP
portunity to announce myself SUP
porter of General Mccullough as
soon as l knew that he was candi-
date, and have seen no reason to
change my mind, believing that if he
were elected to the important pos
ition of Governor, he would conduct
the affairs of the Office in such an
able manner that all would be proud
of their Governor and Vermont
would be raised In the estimation of
her sister states.

AM ASKED WHY | SUPPORT
GEN. NC CULLOUGH.

| was a member of the senate in
1898 with Gen. Mccullough, also of
the judiciary com mittee of that sem
ate. l attended every meeting of
that committee. There was no other
member who attended more sessions
of that committee than did Gen.
Mccullough. In the meetings of that
committee be had an opinion upon
every measure which came before 1t
and gave his reasons for the opinion
entertained by him if the committee
disagreed. | was then thoroughly
impressed with the extent of his
knowledge of public affairs In Yer
mont and of what seemed to be for
the best interests of the State.
Among the members of that senate
were pine lawyers and yet there was
very little debate in the senate cham
Der. Substantially all the discussion
of the various measures occurred In
the committee meetings. While l
have not examined the journal of the
senate, from recollection l have no
doubt the journal record of nearly
every senator would be substantially
the same as that of Gen. Mccullough
during that session. From my per-
sonal intercourse with him there, the
ability ard thoroughness with which
he discharged every duty incumbent
upon him as member of that senate
and his extensive knowledge of and
familiarity with the affairs of this
state, then believed he would make
a most excellent governor OF YER
mont and one who would be an honor
to the State. l then determined to
support him for that position If he
should ever be candidate. Nothing
has occurred since to change my
views.
His position on the liquor question,
as shown by his published letter,
seems to me to be the best position
which a governor of the state can
honestly take. The majority of the
voters, as represented by the majority
of the members of the house and the
majority of senate concurring, have
the constitutional right to determine
what the law shall be on this subject
as on every other. The fact that the
most radical high license and local
option newspapers in the State seem
to be the most troubled about Gen.
McCullough's position on this question
is to my mind very suggestive.
After careful consideration of the
qualifications of each candidate, L
believe he is the best man for the
position. JOHN YOUNG.

The Messenger representative seems
to have found things in Orleans
County in condition that pleases
him. All going over to Proctor. I
think he failed to see few whose
votes will be counted for ano Their.
Having been prohibitionist from my
youth up, would do nothing to iniure
that cause, but believing in honest
of prohibition is safe in the hands of
J. G. Mccullough can most heartily
support him and to my certain know
ledge some of the strongest temper
ance men in this vicinity will do the
same.

I am in favor of Gen. j. G. McCul-
Tough for governor for several rea-
sons. First of all is his recognized
ability in everything that goes to
make a first class executives; second,
his long and active service in the
ranks of the republican party, and his
honorable career throughout long,
active and eventful life; third, he
being. as understand it, the unani-
NOUS choice of the republicans of
Bennington County, which county
has a claim upon the governorship
which I think ought to be recognized,
far more than Rutland County to say
the least; fourth, his age, although
carving his years we'll, he is getting
we'll advanced in life and if he is ever
to be honored by the governorship
il seems to me it should be at this
time. Other reasons could be given,
but to my mind these are sufficient
and were enough to make me a Nc
Oullough man from the start when he
and Webb were the aspirants for that
high office, and / see no good reason
for changing my mind now that Webb
has been withdrawn and Proctor
nlaced in the field. l am willing to
concede Proctor's ability. I do not
| think it necessary for me to try to
belittle Proctor in order to advocate
Mccullough. We have plenty of men
of ability in this state, more than a
hundred in my opinion who could fill
the chair of chief executive with
honor to themselves and credit to the
state. but they cannot all have the
office at the same time.
see nothing alarming, or in fact
out of the way in Gen. McCullough's
statement as to what he should con-
slider his duty to be were he elected
governor, in confirming or approving
the acts of the general assembly. II
it is the will of the majority OF the
voters, expressed by their represen-
tatives in the general assembly, that
matters of public policy should be
changed, what reason could COVER
nor give for vetoing or thwartine
that will whatever it may be? Why
his position can be called 'strad'
die" is more than I can see for he
certainly answers the question as tt
what he would do. | am as much
opposed to high license or to loca
option as any one, and should de-
piore its adoption in any form, ane
firmly believe as Gen. Mccullough
says that the majority of the people

TOADS IN FOLKLORE.
sfcilian Superstition Concerning the
Ugly Little Creatures.

Sfcilian superstition Concerning the
Ugly Little Creatures.
The toad has a prominent place in
folklore. We find the ugly little crea-
ture distinguished in popular tradition,
and that in its most permanent prov
ince, in local worship and belief. The
survival is so strange in itself and so
well fitted to illustrate the primitive
character of fairy mythology that it
may be accorded particular attention.
According to the statements of DR..
q. Pitre, contained in his excellent ac-
count of Sicilian tradition, the faith of
that island still recognizes supernatu-
raj beings known as dome di fuora
| Qadies from abroad, also entitled pat
ronesses of the house, who have at
tributes in common with the fairies of
England. Like the latter, during the
nighttime they enter houses, where
they expect to find everything in order.
Among mortals they have their favor
| ties and enemies. Fortune is consid-
cred to result from their kindness,
sickness and poverty from their perse-
cution.
1t is peculiar feature of their habits
that they visit the domicile not on any
evening indifferently, but only on
Thursday, making their entrance by
the keyhole or by cracks of DOORS If
day surprises them before they leave
the cottage, they change into toads and
in this state remain until the following
eve, when they are once more at liber-
ty to resume their proper shape of
beautiful women. During the interval
the toad is sacred, because it is impos-
sible to be sure that any particular
one may not in reality be the lady of
the house.
Legends abound in which is related
the reward or punishment consequent
upon the good or i'll treatment of Fri
day toad. On this day, therefore, the
usually unpopular animal is safe from
abuse and secure of attention, more
especially If it chance to belong to a
species possessing particular arrange
ment of the cuticle reminiscent of a
ladys head of hair. Any person who
occupies himself with folklore becomes
accustomed to remarkable survivals
yet it does excite establishment to find
so perfect an illustration of prehistoric
thought in central Europe of the twen-
tieth century.-Internation Monthly.

Thomas A Edison announces that he
can make an automobile to go so fast
that man cannot ride in it and live.
This is what has been wanted. The
present achievement of science and in
vention have beer great enough in
their way, but they have never salts
fled the striving toward that happy
goal which Mr.. Edison says is now in
sight. An automobile that man can
run himself to death in, is the achieve
ment of the age. The century bicycle
run that merely wrecks but does not
kill will be put away in the attic.-Er.

There are many very good people,
people of irreproachable character, who
are never liked because of their want
of tact. They are hospitable and like to
entertain, but they ask known enemies
to little family dinner. They expose
all their little household economies to
their guests. They never "spoll story
for relations sake" If guests are of
different religions or politics. they in
troduce the subjects and give most de-
cided views which do not convince and
only irritate. A lady is told that her
hat is unbecoming or a man that he
made bad speech. They never have
any appreciation of the fitness of
things.
Tact is of great Importance if one
would be agreeable or retain friends. A
man without tact can never exert a
strong influence. He can never become
a great leader. Tact is needed in every
calling in life.-Philadelphi Ledger.

OLD TIMES IN TENNESSEE.

when PeTfs Were as Plentiful as
Pennies In the state.
Probably few people know that the
original name of the state of Tennes-
see was Franklin or that in 17SS the
salaries of the officers of this common
wealth were paid in pelts, but the fol-
lowing is correct copy of the law:
"Be it enacted by the general assem-
bly, of the state of Franklin, and 1t is
hereby enacted by authority of the
same, that from and after the LIST day
of January. 1888. the salaries Of this
commonwealth be as follows-to wit:
Ills excelleney the governor. per an
mum, 100 deerskins.
Ills honor the chief Justice. 500
deerslins.
1.-THE secretary to his exeellency the
governor, 500 raccoon skins.
County clerk. 300 beaver skins.
"Clerk of the house of commons, 200
raccoon skins.
Justices fee for serving a warrant.
one minkskin."
At that time the state of Franklin

sissippi river, and on the west bank
was that great unknown forest region
of Louisiana. 1t was then terra in
cognita.' save few canoe landings
and Indian trading posts on the river
banks. 1t was known as the district
of Louisiana and in 1906 was made
the territory of Louisiana.
The state of Franklin, which be-
came Tennessee in 1796, was almost
as little known. The now great city
of Memphis was mere trading post
and was not laid out as a village until
1920.
Pelts were as plentiful in those days
as pennies and much better distributed
for purposes of currency and barter.
The pioneers were perhaps as happy
and as well contented as is the average
citizen now.-Arkansas Gazette.
