The Governor Endorsed.

The Constitutionalist, w. A. Hol-
lands paper published at Eminence,
Henry county. has the following TO say
of Gov. Beckham and his candidacy for
reelection:
Next November the people OF Ken
lucky will again elect a Governor. 1t
is, therefore, time for the members of
the Democratic party to determine
among themselves who is 10 be selected
for the nominee.
Gov. Beckham has made Governor
Of whom any State could be proud
What he has done to bring together IN
harmony the factions OF the party is
well known to those posted ON political
affairs In the State. He has drawn to
his administration most of the really
strong men in public lie; his positive
character, combined with natural, but
| steady, conservatism, has been beacon
light for all classes who seek prosperous
conditions and radicalism; and his
sound judgment in executive matters
has detied the efforts of his critics and
put TO final rest the fears and doubts
that grew out of the stormy scenes and
history during winch ne was ushered
unexpectedly into the position he has
held with such conspicuous success.
We believe he should be renominated
and elected. and we believe there is
not the slightest doubt that he will be.
For some weeks We have had much
information from Democrats all over
the county on this subject, and the con
densed report is to the effect that there
is strong and abiding sentiment favor
ing the young Governors reelection.
The question of eligibility has been
practically settled in an able opinion
from Judge William S. Pryor. and TO
the lawyer who makes close study of
the constitution there can come no
doubt.
The chief objection heretofore nrged
is the Governors youth. and he has
aptly replied that he Is overcoming that
every day.
These are the days of upright, able.
deserving young men. They are in the
front of every battle. aud although some

Tendency OF the Times.

The tendency of medical science IS
toward preventive measures. The best
thought OF the world is being given 70
the subject. It is easier and better 10
prevent than TO cure. Ii has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia.
one of the most dangerous diseases that
medical men have TO contend with, can
be prevented by the use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from an attack of in
huenza (grip), and it has been observed
that this remedy counteracts any
tendency OF these diseases toward
pneumonia This has been fully proven
in many thousands of cases ia which
this remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip in
recent years. and can be- relied upon
with implicit confidence. Pneumonia
often result from slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is sud-
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing aud pains
in the chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on the
safe side and take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. i: always cures. For sale

Hendrick, this same Honest John left
us good Democrats in 1897 and joined
the Palmer and Buckner forces and did
all in his power to break up and disrupt
the party. This action of Palmer
Buckner forces did more damage to
pure Democracy than anything else has
ever done. Good men were led estray

John comes into our forces and asks for

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
BUILDING IMPERATIVE
Priceless Records, Dating Back to
Colonial Days, in Constant Danger
of Destruction by Fire.

Officials Of the Department Of Justice
are taking a keen interest in the move
ment TO procure an appropriation at
the present session Of Congress for a
new building for the department The
present arrangement is incOnvenient
and extensive.
1t is pointed out that the force of the
department numbering go, Is now dis
tributed in seven buildings and the
total rental paid is SIS. 200 per year. The
library of the Department is several
squares from the main offices. causing
much delay and Inconvenience. The
three main buildings on X street were
erected for residences and need repairs
constantly. They are not fireDroof. and
aside from the papers that can be placed
in two safes in the department. nothing
whatever is protected from fire.
The danger caused by the absence of
fire protection is seen when il is realized
that the records Of the Attorney Cen
erals Office run back to 1859. These are
stored IN the easements OF the three
main buildings in X street.
