One Of the greatest safeguards of
democratic form of government is
the primary. for it places in the
hands of all tho people the initiative
in the matter Of nominations for of,
tice. Many people do not realize this
aud fail to take sufficient interest in
such matters to attend tho primaries
and turn them to the popular good.
We get government for tho people
only when we get it of the people by
the people. We get this whom the
people turn out at the primaries and
really choose their own agents to dc.
liberate, free of stress and pressure,
ohicanery or sharp practice in tho
uhoice of candidates.

fact i'll itself WAS significant OF the
importance of the gathering of tho
strength Of the educational sen timont
in the county. There never was IL
time or place in tho county that the

good for the cause.

very happy in his remarks and illus

been making II close study of the
conditions of the public schools in the
counties and the strength and weak
ness Of tho public school system was
ably discussed and many important
and useful suggestions made to
trustees, teachers and patrons
The next speaker was DR.. George

very far in his modest unassumeno

had caught every car in the vast au

about it, that every hcarer seemed
convinced that ho was not only a

NO MORE RAINBOW CHASING.

We do not always find it possible to
agree with the Chicago Chronicle, but
we must admit that it speaks good
sense when it declares that Demo
Gratis of the south would show wisdom,
patriotism and good political judg-
ment by breaking away from the pop
ulstic-socialistic combination of 1896
1900 and exerting the great power
which they possess to retsore the Dem
ocratic party of the 'th.
The Advertiser does not agree with a
les that the southern states should at
tempt t. dictate either the candidate
or the platform in the next national
convention, for that would not be
good judgment Or good policy 1t is
very true that Democratic president
cannot be elected without the vctes Of
the southern states, but it is equally
true that those states cannot of them
selves elect the candidate. Our sec
ton might adopt platform and select
a ticket which could get no support
from any other portion of the unicn,
and in such case the campaign would
be a waste of time and effort.
But While we admit the truth Of this
we fully agree with the advice given
in the above extract. If the south will
cut itself entirely loose from the impos-
sible theories which have brought two
defeats and much humiliation and will
show itself ready to get back to the
sound Democracy Of the fathers, it will
have wonderfully heartening and
Strengthening effect on the Democracy
Of the Union. 1t will show that we
are sick of rainbow chahsing and thai
we desire success along the only road
that success is possible. We may
not dictate or demand, but we can
show faith in sound Democracy and
thus aid in the good work OF uniting
the Democracy on principle. That will

AsbeStUs Mats


he common custom of using rush
mats under hot dishes rs protection
to the polished wood does not appeal
to housewife as giving an air Of
dalntiness to a prettily set dining ta-
Die, and we suggest a pretty idea for
table mats. Cut round or oblong
piece of linen the size desired and en-
broider with sprays OF flowers or a
conventional design; then cut two
pieces half as large for the underside.
Place the two straight edges together,
which should be on the selvage at the
middle across the center When placed
i'll this manner, they are the size Of the
upper piece, and both should be basted
together and scallop worked around
the edge through the top and under
side. Now you have mat with an
opening in the center, into which You
can slip a piece of asbestus cut the

slip out the asbestus and launder same

TO Preserve Brushes.

Good harbrusles are costy items
and q way to keep the bristles stiff and
clean for years is worth knowing. A
Russian coitTeur gives this recipe
Have ready two basins; put lump Of
soda the size of walnut in one and
three parts fill it with boiling water
The other basin should be three parts
filled with water as cold as you can get
it, to which you have added sufficient
lemon juice or good white vinegar to
give it a noticeably acid taste. Shake
the bristles of the brush we'll up and
down in the boiling water till they are
clean, then at once rinse them thor
oughly in the cold water and stand
them up to dry in the air or in warm
place. but not too near the fire. Of
course the backs of the brushes must
not be wet.

Be Moderate

"A great writer tells us that "mCdera-
ton is the inseparable companion of
WISDOM" and another writer says,
"Moderation is the silken string run
ming through the pearl chain of all
virtues" When we try to do too many
things at once we are uniting our
selves for that practical usefulness
which holds no overcrowded state Of
affairs. She is wise woman who reg
ulates her life to take upon herself
no more duties than she can attend
to properly and successfully. She not
only saves her health and her strength,
but her work is satisfactory and her
pleasures. though few, are thoroughly
enjoyed. Indeed, there is no create
blessing than a we'll regulated hte.
