TASTE IN
GERMAN MEAT SHOPS
American Consul Writes They Are
Handsomely Tiled.

In a letter to the State Department
United States Consul II. W. Harris of
Mannheim, says:
americans visiting Mannheim fire.
QUently comment on the attractive meat
shops to be seen here. This attractive
ness is secured largely by the use Of
ornamental tiles for floors. walls. and
even ceilings and counters.
The tiles on the walls are similar To
those used in bathrooms in the limited
States. They are generally OF light
shades. arranged in patterns Of artis-
tie design The floors are also laid
with tiles Of different coIors. These
tiles. however. are unglazed. and are
heavier, aad OF cheaper quality than
those on the walls
In one Of the most attractive Of these
stores. the walls are OF ivory-coIored
tiles with panels OF flowers and other
designs. The counter. which runs along
two sides or the room. is of the Same
ivory-cOlOred material. ornamented in
gold. Il presents a rich, handsome an
pearanee. Even the bookholders. scales.
end gas fixtures are tiled The general
effect Of the room is suggestive. above
all. OF cleanliness.
''Stoneware furniture for stores is a
novelty in Germany, and seems TO he
applicable especially to meat shops fish
and other markets. kitchens. scuIleries
etc. The most important center for ita
manufacture in this country is Nett

with great doors, like stables. No engine
house had a second story or hall until
after the great fire OF 1926. when two
ponderous hydraulion engines were
brought from Philadelphia and located
at a two-story engine house where the
police station now stands.
The Friendship. about 1885. united with
the Crescent fire company and moved
west on King Street. near Fayette This
department saved the town from many n
conflagration. About 1868 all the
engine companies procured new er
gines and most of them built new
houses. When the civil war came on
the engines fell into disuse and the Gov
ernment brought a steamer from Phila-
delDhia TO protect its property
This is now tbs old hydraulion steam
er. but double pump engine has just
been placed In charge OF that company
The Columbia company. which repre-
sents the old Star. has also a steamer
and the ola Relief has become a hook
and ladder company. New houses have
been built on new locations and Alexan-

began to make little easy money by
mixing with his cotton mud. stones. old
tow or anything else that would in
crease the weight and cost him nothing
a practice which hurt the market at
home and abroad
Another cause for the decline is the
lack OF manure and irrigation The rails
ers have no chance to develop new land
and the scarcity of manure causes them
TO raise cotton year after year on the
same ground. resulting in an enormous
loss of seeds. No effort is made to OBJ
tain good seed because the raising OF
the tariff on foreign cotton has made the
grower certain of selling his product OF
whatever quality.
The remedies suggested for the pres
ent conditions are: Establishment OF ag-
ricultural banks; extension OF the areas
under cotton by means OF Irrigation;
furnishing the population with seeds OF
good quality: increasing the number OF
model plantations. In order TO propagate
the necessary technical knowledge
among the natives; Improvement OF the
roads; regulating the trade in cotton.
In Khiva and BOkhara the cultivation
OF cotton has replaced that Of wheat.
The average yield OF the cotton planta-
tion in Central Asia was greater in 1902
than in the previous year. except in the
district of Tashkent. Compared with 1901
the total yield OF cotton in 1902 showed
decrease OF about 50, 792 900 pounds.
the estimated figures for last year being
1882 600 pounds. of which 81 .504 600
pounds were American cotton.

PatrOnize Home Merchants
The Money that Never
Returns

A Western farmer ten years ago
put an X mark on a dollar and
came TO town to spend it with a
merchat. Before the year was out
he got the marked dollar back for
poultry and spent it again with
the merchant. Four times IN six
years that dollar came home to him
for produce and three other times
he heard OF it in the pockets of his
neIghbOrs. The last time he got
it in change, nearly four years ago
he sent it to Sears, Roebuck & Co
the Chicago mail order house that
has amassed a hundred mill ion
dollars by selling third rate goods
for second rate prices. He has
not seen that marked dollar since
and never will till the crack of
doom. The dollar will never pay
any more school or road tax for
him, never help to build up the
town or county, never bless or
brighten the homes of his neigh
bors. He sent it entirely out of
the circle Of usefulness to him.

Be Careful How You Vote

When true men with no axe to
grind; no debts to pay and no
political favors to ask go to the
polls to cast their votes for a
candidate for governor of the
state in which they live for the
chief executive, officer of the COM
monwealth-they should and will
think carefully of the merits of
the ~aspirants before casting their
ballots. There may be a good
friend, personally, in the race,
he may be a plausible speaker
and a pleasant gentleman: but is
he the man for governor? Is he
a man of executive force? Is he
a man under whose administra-
ton the state would advance
morally, educationally, industri-
ally and commercially? Such
questions come to the mind of
the free and untrammeled voter.
And these questions when an
swered thoughtfully will defeat
Maj. j. X. Vardaman in his can
didacy for governor. He has
never proven a conservative force
in business life, his course as a
newspaper writer has been radi-
cal, his platform as a gubernato-
rial candidate is radical, decided
ly SO. His election to the office
of governor wonld be an endorse
ment of his radical platform
whether so intended or not, and
the mere endorsement of such
views would have a tendency to
retard the material progress of
the State. Personally we would
have no objection to Maj. Varda-
man as governor; but the risk is
too great; we believe him unsafe
for the position and so believing
we would be derelict in our duty
as a citizen and a Democratic
journalist did we fail to give ex-
preston to our honest opinion

Cost of the Primary.

Candidates for State and county
offices are naturally anxious to
know what the primary elections
are going to cost them on Aug. 9th
and 9th IN the matter of the ex
pense of its holding. The primary
election law provides that the
cost of printing ballots and trans
hitting ballot boxes and booths
shall be fairly apportioned by the
county executive committees
among all the candidates voted
for in such primaries. county and
district candidates bearing their
pro rata, The above expenses
chargeable against candidates.
No candidate for State or district
offices shall be assessed more than
each candidate for county offices.
This leaves the matter in doubt
and uncertainty touching the cost

the law allows them to be taxed
