Old Age.

Old age as it comes in the orderly
process of Nature is a beautiful and
majestic thing. The very shadow of
eclipse which threatens it makes it the
more priced. It stands for experience,
knowledge, wisdom and counsel. That
: OLD age as it should be. But old age
IS it so often is means nothing but "a
second childhood of mind and body.
What makes the difference? Very
largely the care of the stomach. In
youth and the full strength OF manhood
u doesn's seem to matter how we treat
the stomach. We abuse it, overwork
it, iniure it. We don't suffer from il
much. But when age comes the stom-

4 Bug Under the Chip.

It is the belief of the Daily States
that there are d great many people ir
the South who are beginning to be-
lleve that the so called Southern
Educational Bureau conceals bug
under the chip, and no harm will be
done by keeping an eye on it from
now on. Certain it is that period OF
reflection has been reached by many
southern newspapers which short
while ago took very lively interest in
and were decidedly enthusiastic over
the movement TO improve social and
mental conditions in this section OF
the country-we men the section this
sid e of the Ohio river. The distinct
odor of rat has been detec,ed in what
is known as the ogden moyement,'
and our esteemed contemporary, The
Charleston News and Courier, is well
within the mark when 1t says the peo'
pie of the south are beginning to sus-
pect that there is something more in
the movement than appears on the
surface.

A Car Load Of EN- Coming.

A cargo of "princes, dukes and
counts" it is announced, have started
from Italy for the United States, Eng
land and France for the purpose of
laying siege to the hearts of American
heiresses wherever they may be found.
1t seems that their hurry to make al
liances which will bring them fortunes
is due to the fact that their titles will
lapse within a certain time, and unless
they are able to win moneYel wives
within the next few months there will
be no prospect of the renewal of their
claims TO nobility. The understand
ing seems to he that if the fortune
hunters nave good luck in baggiug
big game they will be continued on
the roster of noblemen.

Those who have business at the

PARKER and HEARST
IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE
NEW WORKERS ARE CENTRAL Fig
uRES IN THE CONTEST.
ErstwhiIe Followers of Cleveland ana
Bryanswant the Other Fe'lO" to
Make the First Advance.

Presidential booms are now the up
nermost topic in political circles since
tho adiournmert of the special session
of the senate and in the absence OF Cnt
legislative activity at the capltol' says
a Washington dispatch.
The republicans are making an eX-
treme effort to stand pat on what they
have done, while the democrats are
irving to harmonic and gather togeth-
err the fragments of the party and pre-
sent a solid front. The great question
with the democrats seems to be: VINO
shall do the harmonizing? On one
corner you will find group OF CleVe-
land men insisting that the Bryan
men must come over and harmonic
with them. On the opposite corner
YOU will find collection of Bryanltes
loudlv proclaiming that the Cleveland
men must come oyer to their way OF
thinking
The BRYAN enthusiasts insist that
the gold democrats want the harmon
izing done on their side of the fence'
and the gold democrats say that the
Bryanites want TOO big share OF the
harmonizing.
So. there you are.
BRYAN and Cleveland represent the
two extreme types of the two demo
cratic factions. If both names could
be forgotten the dove of peace might
adorn the Easter bonnet of Miss Dem
Ocracy.
1t is becoming more evident all the
while that at the next democratic
convention the Bryan people must be
reckoued with. The candidate who is
To be nominated canDot afford to have
strained relations with this, the regu-
lar element of the party. 1t possesses
yirility enough to be counted life size.
PARKER AND HEARST.
It seems pretty well settled in the
minds of the democrats that the presi'
Dental nominee of the party must
come from New York. There is still a
vast deal of Parker talk. AS vet moth
ing has developed to prick his boom
Ills said that an inspired story Is be-
log circulated around the white house
to the effect that Judge Parker Is The
'trust candidate.
This is not so difficult to explain.
President Roosevelt has an idea that
the trusts are on his trail, although
perhaps every one but himself will ad
nit that he has done the octopus no
special harm. Politicians in New YORK
seem TO think that the business men
will not be so ready this time TO put up
money for Roosevelt. They do not
think he is a safe man. The New

whether a president is democrat or t
republican. What they want IS MAJ

The report shows that since June 81

the amount of 50, 833, 814.01, and spent
that sum in the improvement and OK

in the same time the company has

In many of our thriving towns
land cities the citizens strive In
! friendly rivalry to exceed each
/, other in identifying their homes
land premises. Fences are kept
lin faultless condition, lawns, flow
er beds and shade trees are OBJ
|jects of pride and receive con-
slant care. Even the streets on
which the up-to-date town or
city residence front, are kept
scrupulously clean and free from
weeds and debris. The result OF
this watch care is a decided rise
in the value of real estate, and a
town so attractive that visitors
are inclined to seek it as an abid-
ing place. Our own town per-
haps has as many cultured,
brainy citizens as any IN the
State, or even in the South, con-
sidering the number OF inhabi-
tants. We have thriving business
enterprises, splendid educational
advantages and the best water
that can be found, but dirty,
weed-grown streets and care
lessly kept yards mar the at
fractions Of our town. 1t is i'm
possible for the authorities to
keep the streets in perfect condl-
tons unless they have the aid OF
resident citizens. If each house,
holder saw to it that his premesis
and the street on which his house
fronts were kept free from weeds,
paper and debris of all kinds,
there would be no trouble about
having a clean, presentable town,
besides each owner adding great
ly to the value of his property.
