WHO SKALL OUR NEXT GOVERNOR
 BE-

The above question is one of very grave importance to the people of this state. It Is a question that should call for so- Der reflection and calm, deliber- ate consideration. In it's solu- tion prejudice, passion and bias should be discarded and every motive save that of the public good should be lain aside. The privilege ot citizenship Is high one, and one which every true man should not fail to appre- eiate. Each individual invested with the prerogative of citizen IS a unit in the making of good or bad government, and upon him rests a responsibility equal to that of every other voter.
 The ballot of the humblest cit 1zen counts as much as the most notable one, and therefore 1t is a little less than criminal negli- genee for any man to exercise the right of suffrage except for the good of his country, and this he will rarely do if he is swayed by blind prejudice. and allows his passions to override his judg- ment.
 The plain duty of every citizen Is to carefully study men and measures and, then with the best lights before him. discharge his duty of citizenship for what he conceives to be for his couu try !. good. The man who does

 Tn the first opening of Oklaho- ma to settlers III 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after fortune who made the big race one fine day'in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gavo him very se- we're diarrhGa which t seemed al- most impossible to check, and along in June the case became so bad he expected 10 die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Cham berlain s Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Rem edy as last hope. A big dose was given him while he was roll ing about on the ground in great agony, and in few minutes the dose was repeated. The good eff feet of the medicine was soon no. tieei and within an hour the pa tient was taking his first sound sleep for q fortnight.

It IS extremely unfortunate for hl1e negro race that so many of them are imbued with criminal natures Many negroes are peaceabie and lawabiding; but 1hev suffer in consequence of the vices of their kindred. Innocent aegroes, it is true. should not be fensured for the misconduct of slie vicious and immoral of their race, but unfortunately for the .better element among them, an mdiscriminating public does not always draw the line, and when mean, low-down negro com mits heiuous crime the whole race is judged by such q stand ard and held responsible for 1t in acertain sense. This being true, 1t IS plainly apparent that 1t k alFinportant for the leaders and educators of the race to strive to fneuleate into their people the principles honor, morality and a high regard for the laws of the land.

Politics. which has for so many years been the leading industry of Mississippi, next to the culti- vation of cotton, is becoming in creasingly disadvantageoas to politicians in that state. A short while ago the farmers of one county adopted resolutions agreeing to make each candidate that solicited their votes hoe a certain number of rows of cot ton. These fellows were joking. but there is no joke about the action taken by the various county organizations to make the candidates pay the expense of holding the primary election. Several counties have fixed $2 as the price each candidate for United States senator and for state and county offices must pay. Lee county cut the price to 25 cents each for candidates for all except county offices, the fee being 50 cents i'll the latter case.-GaZette.

Many Times a Millionaire.

Many of our readers will remember
Edward l.. Dwyer whom the daily pap
ers last week reported to have failed in
New York for 1910, 1000. with assets $3.50
as former resident of Fulton, and
school mate of w. S. .Heddles and others
living there at that time Dryer was a
protegee of the late Geo. VanEtta and
came to Fulton when VanEtta owned
stock farm there. At the age of % years
he went to Mexico, where he realized a
million dollars through the development
of land and the construction of rail
road. Then he went to Chicago and en-
tered into wheat speculation. In his
wheat speculation it is said he made sew
eral million dollars. but finally lost all.
In 1898 he met and married the Duchess
de Castelluchia, New York woman who
many years previously had been married
to an Italian nobleman. The duchess
possessed many acres of orange groves
in Florida. She was 73 years old, and
Dwyer was 3d. Not long after the mar
riage Mrs. Dwyer died. leaving an estate
of over 100000. She bequeathed $40
of this amount to Dryer. The will was.
fought for six years, but finally was ad-
mitted to probate by the surrogate of
New York city. After the death of his
aged wife Dryer went all over the west,
organizing mining and land companies,
many of which are said to have returned
vast sums of money to investors. From
these deals he says he received little or
nothing. In 1900 Dryer enlisted in the
marine corps in the Brooklyn navy yard
| for term OF three years and was sent to
Manila, where he was known as the
millionaire Marine" After one years
service, on the application of friends, he
| received an honorable discharge. Dryer
spent several weeks last summer at Vim
cents on Lake Koshkonong and was
| frequent visitor in Edgerton.

THE UNLUCKY THIRTEEN.
A $4,000 Tobacco Loss Caused by
Lightning.

A heavy thunder storm passed over
town between IL and II o'clock Friday
night, accompanied by terrific lightning
discharges. After an especially heavy
crash that awoke many sleeping people,
Night Waterman Ratzlaf discovered
smoke issuing from warehouse No. 13,
and Immediately turned in fire alarm.
The torrents of rain that were falling
did not prevent the hurried gathering of
the members of the fire department, but
those first on the ground say the entire
upper part of the building was in flames
so rapidly did the fire spread. Lines of
hose were quickly laid and several
streams of water were drenched upon
the burning building, but it had scarcely
no effect in staying the progress of the
tire which soon consumed the entire
structure. There was but little to do
but protect the exposed property, the
nearest being the warehouse used by Fl.
". Child for wool storage. Fortunately
there was but little wind and the rain
dampened the surrounding buildings so
there was little danger from sparks. A
work car in which a number of bridge
builders were sleeping stood upon the
siding near the burning building and the
men hurridly hustled out and showed
their car out of the reach of the flames.
The property destroyed was leased by
Chas. l.. Culton and contained between
400 and 500 cases of 1900 tobacco besides
quite a quantity of strips. The loss
which is total one is partially covered
by an insurance Of S13 1000 which he car
ried. The building was owned by j. L.
Sanders of Lexington, Mass, valued at
$500 and insured for $780, If ware
house was doomed to be DESTROYED in
Edgerton, one could scarcely be selected
that con tanned so little tobacco or where
the loss would have been so small, and
In this respect the fire may be consid-
cred fortunate. The firemen were treat
ed to lunch and coffee by Fl. w. Child
after all the danger of the night had
passed.
Insurance adjusters were here early in
the week to arrange for the settlement
of their losses. They were soon con-
WINGED that the property loss was greater
than the amount of the insurance. and
the face of the policies $4,000 on stock,
must be paid, Nine companies are i'm
plicated so the share of each will not be
large.
