Bids and FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make 1t the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without Their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, If we expect
them TO ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of ill health and suffering
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and twitch-
ir.gs Of limbs and muscles. They complain OF
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and ind;gesli,. All such symptoms and all
men,s mean that the seeds of disease Will have
fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, PANE S
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound.

The TiIlman Verdict.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
1t may be assumed that the South
Carolina jury which yesterday ac-
quilted observation-disclosures Till
man believed that the latter was not
guilty of deliberate and cold blooded
murder when he killed n G. Gonzales,
the. editor of the Columbia State.
The verdict will prove a disappoint-
ment, however. to those who hoped
that the majesty of the law would be
indicated and that South Carolina
would call a halt upon all who take
human life to avenge private griev-
ances. The evidence at the trial
showed that Mr. Tillman killed an
unarmed man, who had no intention
OF attacking him, but, on the con-
trary, was about to cross the street
to avoid meeting him 1t is true that
the relations between these men were
not OF friendly nature. Mr.. Gonza-
les had criticised Mr.. Tillman with
great severity in his newspaper. In
so far as this criticism was directed
at MIR. Tillman in the latter's capac-
ity as a public official, it was legiti-
mate, if it did not transcend the
bounds of propriety Even if it de-
generated into personalities, however,
the prOvocation was not sufficient to
justify the course which Mr.. Tillman
adopted to rid himself of his enemy.
1t is sad thing when human life is
held in light regard in any commun-
lty and when a man who kills another
oredress personal grievances escapes
punishment by the law. For many
years thoughtful South Carolinians
have been trying to create a public
sentiment against the use of the pis-
tol in the settlement of private dis
putes. The verdict in the Tillman
case will doubtless convince them that
public opinion has not yet spoken
with sufficient emphasis against this
practice. They should not be dis
couraged, however, but should con-
tinue their labors until the time
comes when the taking of human life
in South Carolina, except in self-de-
tense or for the gravest provocation.
will bring upon the slayer the heavy
hand of the law, regardless of politi-
cal or social considerations.

THE MEXICAN WAR VETERANS
Want an Increase of Pension-C0n-
gress VIII be Asked to Provide Tore
Adequately for the Survivors of the
Armies That Won Our War With
Mexico.

Special Correspondence Philadelphia Press
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. There will be
presented at the next regular session
OF Congress a measure which has
very close bearing upon a conven-
ton held here a few days ago-a con-
vention Of somewhat remarkable
nature, even in a day when conven-
lions have become SO common as to
excite little comment For three
days, in the middle OF September,
there gathered here $50 old men, call
ing themselves veterans, but worthy
OF the more honorable name OF pa
triots-the survivors OF the armies
which won for the United States her
war with Mexico.
At the last session Of Congress
bill was passed increasing the month
lv pension OF these old warriors from
IS to $12, without requiring them
to take the so-called "pauper's oath. -
The Danes of 1916 now propose,
under the leadership of Mrs. Moore
Murdoch, of Fort Worth, Texas. to
secure lor them a yet further Increase
The lawmakers at Washington will
be asked to recognize their services
and their age with "dollar-a-day"
pensions.
At indianapolis there were $50
men representing the 300 veterans
of the war with Mexico, still under
the Stars and Stripes. These men,
less than 4 900, are all that are left
of that vast army under Scott and
Taylor, who with the help of the
navy, conquered Mexico after hard
ships and difficulties unknown today,
going by sea in ships that the sailors
would now call unseaworthy, or
marching from st. Louis to Saltillo
with Doniphan, harassed by Indians
and fighting three battles on the
way, without paymaster or base OF
supplies from the beginning to the
journeys end.
These men won the war with Next
co and also $1SO,OOO prize money,
which in 1913 General Scott sent to
Washington to establish a home for
these soldiers when they became too
old or too infirm to fight fora living.
If u sum of money with interest
doubles itself every eleven years, and
this sum has been used by the gov
eminent since 1913, there should be
in the Treasury an amount large
enough to grant each of these veter-
| ans "a dollar a day"
The average age of these few thou
sands of veterans is II, They have
no time to wait for memorial
homes" to be built. What is to be
done for them must be done at
once.
Three of the veterans came all the
way from Pennsylvania, representing
SCOTS Legion of Philadelphia, the

officers club Mexican society in the

The newspaper is a wide field and

smiles; when you roast the preacher

saloon, the teetotaler smiles; if you
roast the, teetotaler the saloon men
set them up. If you swear you are a
wicked man; if you have any opinion
you get cussed, and if you don't you
are nonentity. The preacher knows
one thug, the lawyer and the doctor
another, but the journalist is expect
ed to know everything. And while
he does not lay claim to any such
thing, he usually knows a great deal
more than ne prints. If he did print

STREET WORK TO BE REQUIRED.
Council Passes Ordinance to Better Provide for Improvement of
 Streets and Alleys of Newport.

Another step has been taken toward improving the streets of this city, and most important one, which should furnish either force of labor or rev enue, that would insure paving of our principal thoroughfares within the next few years. Such an ordinance was introduced by Alderman Thomp- son Monday evening and after sus- pension of rules, was finally adopted by unanimous vote.
 The ordinance becomes effective upon publication and requires that all male persons between the ages of 21 and 45, residing within the corporate limits, except active members of the fire department, shall be liable and subject to four days street duty in each year, said work to be performed under the direction of the Street and Alley Committee.
 This committee must report to the council when such work becomes necessary and an order is then issued by that body directing such work through the City Marshal. All the people may not be called at the same time, matter which is left to the dis cretion of the committee. The Mar shal shall summons all persons liable to service by notice to each individual where same can be served, otherwise by posting notice at residence of per- son desired or in prominent place.
 Every individual summoned must supply himself with such tools as the Marshal may direct. He may furnish a substitute or commute such labor by the payment of 75 cents for every day summoned, taking duplicate receipts therefor, one of which he shall forth with file with the Recorder. All such payments must be made in currency and are to be set aside for repairing and improving the streets.
 Any person failing to respond to call for street work or to give satisfac- tory service through disobeyance of orders or interference with others, shall be subject to fine of not less than $5 nor more than $10 before the Mayor.
 The Street and Alley Committee are to furnish the Marshal the names of all persons liable to labor A resi- dence of 30 days within the city prior Ito notice for work shall subject male citizen not physically disabled from such labor, to the provisions of this ordinance.
 A resolution introduced by Alder man Bailey, limiting the membership of the fire department to fifteen, was unanimously adopted.
 Several accounts were allowed and the minutes of May 19 and June read and approved, after whicL the coun- cil, which had been presided over by Recorder Mayhan in the absence of Mayor Grubbs, adjourned.

The teachers of Arkansas who are thinking of attending a summer school this summer can find no place more desirable than the Summer School of the South to be held at Knoxville. Those in charge have provided for a faculty of the most distinguished edu- cators of the country, 93 in number. The location of the school is desirable as Knoxville is one of the healthiest and most picturesquely situated cities in the South. 2,0OO from the South attended this school last summer, and fully as large an attendance is ex- pected this year. On account of the cheap railroad rates, I am sure Ar kansas will be we'll represented in this school this summer. til
