The Canvass closed.

The canvass which has been 60
ing on for the past twelve months
for state and county officers closed
last night at six o'clock when the
last votes were deposited in the
ballot boxes. The people of the
state have never before been APP
pealed to directly for their indi-
vidual votes for state officers and
the canvass has been one to try
mems souls. The amount of work
which this character Of canvass
ing has forced upon the candi-
dates has been severe strain up
on the constitution and those who
have undergone it will find that
many months of absolute rest will
be required to restore them to good
health and fit them for business.
1t is to be regretted that during
the closing days of the canvass
much bitter lnvictive was indulg-
ed in elimination and recrimina-
ton on the part of the partisans
of the opposing candidates for
governor. If either was as bad a
man as he was presented to be
neither was fit to be governor. But
what is said in the heat of politics
counts for nothing when men have
resumed their sober moments and
either of the distinguished gen
tlemen, Critz, Vardaman or Noel,
would make an excellent chief exc
cutlve. The winner is to be con
graduated, and although he has
gone through with crucial test,
he comes out Of the race with the
respect and confidence of the en-
tire people who expect confidently
from him a clean, pure and pro-
gressive administration Of the
states affairs.

The South 5 Position.

The position Of the South gives
the manufacturer peculiar advan-
tages for reaching his raw material
and for distributing his manufac-
tured products over a wide region,
and every suggestion from its con-
dltion and resources ilnpels the be-
lief that the time was never more
propltlous than at present for re-
lleving the agricultural classes by
Increasing the manufacturing in
dustrles Of the South. The COM
MERGE of the South must be enlarg
ed and extended by diversifying
its industries. Less land should
be cultivated and CRATER yields
made by enriching the soil; less
labor should be employed on the
farms and more in the factories.
AS these changes are gradually
made the manufacturer and the
farmer, the railroads and CONNER.
cIal classes, each constituting a
component and essential part Of
the social organism, become the
co-relatives and complement of one
another, mutually aiding and sus-
tanning one another and forming q
pyramid whose strength and sta
bility are derived from the equili-
brium Of the social structure and
from the resulting prosperity and
happiness of the whole people by
reason Of this equilibrium The
arraying of one class against an
other in this economic system with
the expectation of benefting either
one is the delirious dream Of po-
litical fanaticism. For the railroad
to war against the farmers or the
manufacturing class, or for either
of the others or both to war against
railroads and the commercial class
es falls like a whitening blight up-
on all progress and prosperity.
Harmony and JUSTICE and sound
wisdom, discretion and common
sense should characterize the ac-
tions of all these strong elements
that build up the greatness of
States and nations and advance
men to a higher plane in the CIV
llization and enlig htenment of the
work.-Southern Farm Magazine.

The Editorial Column.

The discussion of the value OF
the editorial column goes merrily
on. 1t was provoked by an article
before some association or other
inquiry. Does the editorial column
payg" There is in the very ques-
ton suggestion Of the CONNER
clal instincts of the times and a
hint that nothing is worth doing
that pays in dollars and cents.
1t makes no difference to self
respecting newspapers whether
the editorial column is pecuniariIy
profitable or not. By those to
whom journalism is a profession
and not trade, the editorial
column is not conducted by a
policy department. 1t is the We
hicle by which the newspaper in
part performs it's missions as a
great educator.
With high conception of duty,
a newspaper must often give ex-
preston in its editorial column to
sentiments which are not popular.
1t must be true to its principles
regardless of the power of those
it offends. 1t must be honest, free
and independent regardless of the
consequences.
These qualities in a narrow
sense do not pay. The newspaper
like man with convictions makes
enemies. But in the long run
fidelity to principles pays. The
fearless and incompatible news
paper gains the respect Of those
who differ from it. 1t makes charac-
ter and character pays. The color
less newspaper may be temporari-
ly prosperous just as the sycophant
often seemingly bootlicks his way
to success. But enduring success
is not attained, fortunately, by SO
contemplate a method. The man.
ly man ard the courageous news
paper attain the victories whose
results are worth while.
Does the editorial column pay?I
Yes, unless cowardice triumphs
over courage, error vanishes truth,
and policy overcomes principle.
A newspaper without an editorial
column is as much Of misfit as a
Judge who would not hand down a
decision. Birmingham News.

system requires to successfully combat
malarial conditions. Don't wait until

The Beaver A as DAM Builder.

A remarkable beaver dam has
lately been discovered near Stourds-
burg, Pa. The work of the animals
is SO extensive that it seems al
most incredible they could have
built the dam in question, but this
is proved by the evidence of resi-
dents of .the vicinity, who are
strictly reliable.
The dam in question was dis
covered about two years ago, by
farmer living near its site. 1t is
located IN a swamp, which for
many years had been drained of
it's surface water. except in a few
spots. Noting that most of the
swamp was under water, although
but little rainfall had occurred, the
couriosity Of the farmer was arous-
ed, and he made an investigation
! which led to the discovery, The
dam has been constructed around
the northern edge of the swamp,
extending in zigzag course, cyl
IDENTIFY to avoid obstruction, and
to increase it's strength. 1t is about
l25 feet in length, and the top Is
wide enough for a man to walk
upon, without difficulty, ranging
from foot to two feet in width.
At present the top is about three
inches above the surface of the
pond which has been created by
the dam, the water being from
two to four feet deep.
The farmer who made the dis
covery at first thought that the
work had been done by boys for
sport, but noticing the footprints
of animals upon the top of the
structure, he followed these, and
found some pieces of wood, which
apparently bore the marks of an
animals teeth. The wood was talk
EN- to a naturalist who resided In
the vicinity, and after careful ex-
animation the latter pronounced
the marks to be from beaver teeth.
Further investigation in the vi
cinity showed that the animals had
felled number of trees near the
dam, to use in It's construction.
The largest pieces yet found in it
are 8 inches in diameter by actual
measurement. The principal ma
terial used. besides branches and
twigs, was mud, which had been
deity, worked into it so solldIy
that a man weighing 235 pounds
has walked upon the top without
affecting it.
The wood Which has been used
inclues beech, white ash, and oak.
In cutting the trees, the animals
worked in a circle around the trunk.
making deeper intentions on the
side toward the dam so that the
trees would fall into the water in
the proper direction. Judging by
the size of the marks found, it is
believed that some OF the beavers
are unusually large animals, but
there have been only two or three
seen since the dam was construct
ed. The discovery has aroused
such interest that many naturalists
have since visited the locality.
Their belief is that the swamp has
been "beaver ground" for many
years, and that here has existed
one Of the very few colonies eli
these animals in the northern
part of the country. The swamp
is owned by Judge Edinger, of
Stroudsburg, who has been MAX
ing study of the dam since it
was located. So interested has he
become that he will allow no one
to attempt to trap or shoot the
animals, and, with the aid of the
Geological Society of Philadelphia,
has had a State law enacted pur-
posely to protect them.

TO ALL cATARRH SUFFERERS.
Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure by Perdy
w. Means and Bowditch & Webster
or Money Refunded.

The popularity and increase in the
sales of Hyomei are unique in the an
nails of medicine. Such astonishing
cures have been made by this remark
able remedy that the proprietors have
authorized Percy w. Means and Bow
ditch & Webster to sell every package
of Hyomei under an absolute guarantee
that it will cure catarrh. If it does not
the purchaser can have his money re-
funded.
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy 1t
is the only method of treatment that
sends by direct inhalation to the most
remote part of the air passages, a bal
samic air that destroys all catarrhal
germs in the breathing organs, en-
riches and purifies the blood with addi-
tional ozone, and makes permanent and
complete cures of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.00 and consists of a pocket inhaler
that can be easily carried in the vest
pocket, a medicine dropper, and a
bottle of Hyomei sufficient for more
than a months treatment.
Breathe through the inhaler for a
few minutes four times day and your
catarrh is cured. That's ALL
If not cured your druggist will re-
fund your money.

THRILLING WITH YOUR HEALTH
Is Like Playing With Loaded Gun.
If you Have Kidney Trouble Attend
to il at Once.

1t is easy to tell whether your Kid
neys OF bladder are diseased. Take a
bottle or glass tumbler and fill it with
urine. If there is a sediment pow
der-like substance-after standing a
day and night, if it is pale or discol-
ored, ropy or stringy, there is some
thing wrong with the Kidneys. Other
sure signs of disease are a desire to
urinate often, pain in the back, Or if
your urine stains linen.
There is no question that DR.. David
Kennedys Favorite Remedy is the best
and surest medicine in the world for
diseases of the Kidneys, Liver, Blad-
der and Blood, Rheumatism, Dyspep-
STA, Chronic Constipation, and the sick
nesses peculiar to women. 1t quickly
relieves and cures inability to hold
urine and the necessity of getting up a
number of times during the night, and
puts an end to the scalding pain when
passing urine.

Baptist Church, Spartenburg, S. c.,
writes:
For eleven years I suffered with kid
