matism.
"For years when spring time came
on and I went into gardening, l was
sure to have an attack of rheumatism
and every attack was more severe
than the preceding one" says Josie
Mcdonald of Wan, Logan county,
West Va. II tried everything with no
relief whatever, until I procured a
bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
and the first application gave me ease,
and before the first bottle was used
l felt like a new person. Now I feel
that l am cured, but l always keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm in
the house, and when feel any symp-
toms of a return | soon drive it away
with one or two applications Of this
liniment." For sale by all druggists.

goods. and mills have been unable
to take care OF some of the duplicate
business offering. Many of them max
ing low grade goods have all the or
ders they can conveniently handle.
Some of the better grades OF the same
are also we'll sod up.
Foreign markets appear to be
stronger on medium and low cross
breds than on fine woods. The Ant
werp sales showed a decline of 5 per
cen on the latter and an advance OF
10 per cent on the former. At London
the auction sales opened on Tuesday
with competition spirited and all
grades in active demand. Merinos
and fine crossbreds were steady and
medium and coarse .c~rossbreds show
ed an advance of ~ to 10 per cent.
Several bales of coarse crossbreds
were taken for America. On Wednes-
day a good supply OF merinos sold at
rather slightly below the May average.
Territory Wool Strong.
Territory wool retains all the strong
features of our previous reports. There
has been quite a good business this
week in new and old wool. The sup
ply Of old Montana, which has been
the heaviest load the market has had
to carry since the first of the year, is
surely and steadily diminishing.
Houses which had a large supply on
haid are now practically cleaned up.
In the state as high as 17h cents has
been paid at Great Falls and no good
lots have been bought there or at Bill
ings at less than 16 cents. The new
Utah and Wyoming woods are selling
well on this market. A good many
million pounds have been sold during
the past fortnight and the demand
continues. ~
The first call for fine staple for a
long time has been felt this week,
and sales Of new, strictly fine are re-
ported on the secured basis of 81
cents. Anything in fine medium will
bring SO cents clean, and there are
no sellers on a lower basis. Medium
territory is in active demand and is
bringing higher prices if anything.
Only the most ordinary sort of me-
dunn clothing can now be bought on
the secured basis of As cents.
There have been sales this week OF
new medium Wyoming Of good staple
at II to 18 cents in the grease, or
Al to 48 cents clean. Oregon wool
has shown a little life here. Sales
OF eastern with clothing in are re-
ported at IA to Is cents This means
certainly stand so cents clean. No.
l staple cannot be sold at much it
any under IS cents clean.

Better late than
ONE COMMISSIONER.

'spect, but his logic is unsound.
First;
A sole commissioner cannot be
as impartial in the important mat
ters to be considered, as a board
OF commissioners,
Second:
In our humble. opinion
one good business man
can attend to the duties of the
office of Ordinary in this county
with the additional duties that
devolve on him in the absence of
county commissioners, and not
work harder than the average
business man or farmer. This
should not be construed to mean
that we favor a change back 10
the old system yet in operation
IN many counties of the state,
but merely as a suggestion of a
better plan than that of employ
ing sole com missioner.
Third:
The law creating Mr.. M. Hen
derson sole commissioner is a
most remarka bic document pro-
badly without a parallel in any OF
the 157 counties of the state
Editor Hanlon should read it. Il
should not be revived.
Fourth:
The county has not stood still
brother, on the other hand she
has made most remarkable pro.
gress. Our public roads have
not been improved, but let's see
why.
Who is responsible for
the suspension of road building:
| Did the board do this, or did the
sole commissioner lease the con
vlcts for long term after the
board of com missioners had beer
provided for and just before
their term began? Is the board
of commissioners responsible
or is the sole commissioner vou
again propose responsible
for the suspension of road
building? We make these sug
gestions in all kindness, but les
we forget.
With Difference to Com. Tuck.
er, Editor Hanlon and Ex-Com
llenderson--all good men,we are
decidedly opposed to the one
commissioner system.
| We have no personal reason
No ambition to satisfy. NJ
grudge or spleen to vent. Nc
friends that we would reward al
the county's expense.
Our interest is the county's
interest.
We would love to agree with the
venerable editor of the Dispatch
We have great respect for his
honesty of purpose, but we fear
his loyalty to personal friends
and recollections of the campaign
that wraught the change in the
system, has led him into a mis-.
taken view Of a question that is
OF great Importance to every tax
payer Of the county.

(Bt tier late than never.)

county, and gives some reasons
for so doing. 1t is evident from
the tone of his article, that his
opinions upon this important
have been formed more
from hearsay than from actual
knowledge Of the subject.
The dictator" idea is the
weakest of all. There has never
been a day since Irwin county
was organized when she held
within her borders a dictator,
official or otherwise, nor will
day ever come.
But we set out TO say a few
words about the actual need of a
return to the one-commissioner
plan, and not TO handy words
with our handsome metropolitan
brother, who is sincere even
when in error, and who, we know,
is open to conviction.
In the first place, the business
of the county needs the whole
time Of one man (she is not able
to pay for the whole time Of three
mem and he must be an honest,
capable business man to properly
attend to the multifarious duties
of this office. Bridges have to
be looked after; and just here
the right kind of man could
save the county a large part of
his salary in ways that our Fitz-
gerald brother may not dream of.
Public roads have to be, or
should be, looked after in every
part of the county. Then, in
the matter Of new roads, a COM
missioner whose whole time be-
longs to the county could, by
personal inspection, ascertain if
such roads would be of general
or special utility and make his
decision accordingly.
There are many other ways in
which such com missioner could
emp p1oy his time profitable to the
county.
We know nothing of the law
under which ex-Commissioner
Henderson acted, as we have
never read it or heard it discus
sed; but we are not prepared to
believe that the people Of Irwin
would submit to a law which
placed the business of their
county under the absolute con-
troll Of one man, making him re-
sponsiblc only to himself. Such
a proposition is too absurd for
argument. The hue and cry
against M. Henderson 8 admin
stration of the business of the
county served its purpose at the
time; but it has caused the
county to stand still for neary
three years. At last the people
are awaking to the fact that Mr..
Henderson, the politician, and
not Mr.. Henderson, the county
commissioner, was the real
object of the vicious attack.
He is bankrupting the
county," they cried. When he
resigned in the fall of 1900, the
books showed the county to be
in debt between $4,000, with
assets, availa bic in thirty days,
of between $4,000 and $4,000.
If this be bankruptcy, the county
should be ready to welcome it
again.
Of Mr.. NJ, Henderson, the
politician, the Dispatch has
nothing to say. 1t is with his
| conduct Of the county business
it is dealing. Under his long
service as commissioncr-twelve
or fourteen years--the county
steadily advanced from almost a
wilderness, with but no public
buildings worthy of the name,
to the front rank among the
wiregrass counties Of the state.
He gave the best years of his
life to the work of building up
the county Of his adoption, and
there are plenty of people in the
county to-day who know what he
has accomplished and honor him
for it, the writer among the rest.
