THE HERALD is the only demo-
cratic paper in the county doing a
general printing business, yet
there are several candidates and a
few office holders who have print
ing patronage to give out, who
lose sight of this fact. When it
comes to little matter of gra-
tuitouS newspaper publicity they
do not forget the paper, but they
give the other fellow the pay
work. Very often it is an out-of-
town fellow, too. The HERALD is
growing tired of it, and is going
to tell the dear people Il few
things the first thing somebody
knows.

THE Jacksonville Reformer gives
the following rs the number of
cars of truck shipped from that
town this season: Solid cars
Potatoes 20, tomatoes no, peach

225 cars; and the bulk of the
peach crop is yet to be moved.
When Palestine gets into the
movement on that scale nobody
will care anything about what the
boil weevil is doing.

THINK of a candidate who does
not know how to shake hands.
Yet he is here. There is but one
way to shake hands and every
man ought to know how. 1t is
not enough to hand out your hand
and simply lay it in another like a
pair of s1.4S pants, but the vot-
er's hand should be grasped firm
ly and moved quietly. Let some
thing of your sincerity go through
the hand clasp.

A SOUTHERN MAN.

When it comes to questions
bearing on the financial issues
and this includes the issue of pro-
lection, there is, to the HERALD's
mind, very little difference be-
tween the average northern DEM
ocrat and the average northern
and n northern DEM
ocrat who claims to be strictly in
line on the tariff issue, is mis-
trusted in the north.
The southern democrat is sin
cere in his professions as a rule.
So then, it seems to the HERALD
that the time is at hand when a
southern man should be put up
10 lead the democratic hosts. A
southern democrat could poll more
democratic votes today than any
northern man that could be NOM
mated, and there is no valid
why a democratic leader
should not be chosen out of DEM
,cratic territory. Ii is time the
'outh was coming into her own.
Let us have a southern man as
III lard bearer.

New ENGLAND mill owners are
fast losing out and the Southeast
ern states are becoming the manu-
featuring states. Perhaps Mr..
Daniel Davenport of Bridgeport,
Conn, now in the South advising
mill owners to crush out unions
in their mills, is Il Greek bearing
gifts. Southern mill owners
should be able to regulate their
own business and make amicable
terms with their employees without
the aid of Mr.. Daniel Davenport.
New England mill owners realize
that the South is in the saddle now

pie. Why should they concern

no man will question that the

entitled to party patronage.
What an individual candidate

IT has been held by the second
court of civil appeals sitting at
Fort Worth that there are no con-
ditions or circumstances which
will Justify a liquor dealer in per-
hitting a minor to enter and re-
main in his place of business.
The decision was in the case of
the State vs. Douthitt, from
Somerville county, the suit being
on the liquor dealers bond. Dam
ages had been recovered IN the
lower court and the defendant
plead that while the minor had
been in the saloon he had been
there for the purpose of repairing
Il gasoline lamp. The court of
appeals held that the fact that the
minor went into the place to work
was not excusable, declaring that
''if a minor were permitted to en-
ter and remain in a saloon when
ever and for whatever time he
had real or imaginary business,
the beneficient purposes of the
statute would be entirely frus-
trated." This is the most far

dered by a Texas court and in

A PROMINENT visitor in til

diversified farming is slow arou,
Palestine because of hide-bound
methods of our merchants. The
HERALD does not charge that this
is the case, but it does know that
the greatest progress has been
made in those towns and counties
where the merchants have CO
operated and aided in every way
possible. Take Crockett, for in
stance: The merchants furnished
the seed potatoes from which that

a pIsoraeefuI Appointment.

AddickSism has been taken into the
Republican fold, Notwithstanding it
represents all that is censurabIe in
politics. The Addicks delegates from
Delaware were seated in the Republi-
can National convention although it
vas well known that political debau-
cherry was the cause Of their being
there. President Roosevelt has again
approved of the rotten side Of Della
ware politics by appointing William
NJ Byrne as assistant district attOr-
ney for New York, who has been one
Of the principal Addicks strikers and
partisans. He has only resided in
New York for a few months so his,
appointment is therefore the more re-
markable. and when it is remembered
that the United States Senate refused
to confirm his appointment as dis
trict attorney for Delaware, it is the
more extraordinary. To inject the poi
son of Addichsism into the Republi-
can organization Of New York by
planting one Of its shoots in that
fertile soil for strategy and spoils, in
the important Office Of United States
district attorney, where the oppOrtun-
ity for political evils are so numer-
Gus, is almost beyond comprehension
Talk Of home rule and civil service
reform and boast, as the Republicans
do, that President Roosevelt is for
their honest enforcement, and then
think Of such an appointment when
the facts were all well known. Usu-
ally excuses can be made for bad ap-
DOintments by the president, he has
to rely upon what others tell him
about these who seek Federal appoint
ments, but in the Byrne case, the
appOintee. Addicks, and the debauch-
ing Of Delaware, were all notorious
and no one had more wealth OF de-
tails of the rOttenness than President
Roosevelt
This, the last straw says the
New York World, we can stand Ad-
dicks in Delaware if Delaware can;
we could stand the Presidents
'stanch and loyal friend Quay in
Pennsylvania if Pennsylvania could;
we can stand Plat and Odell in New
York if we have TO; but when it
comes to making New York the
dUmping-grOUnd for Addicks refuse
which even Delaware viii not tOler-
ate, New York draws the line"

Odd Names for Newspapers.

The strangest thing about Russia's
popular papers is their curious names.
Strekosa CGrasshOpper), BabOtchka
butterfly, Svistum CThe Whistler,
Vetr CThe Wind, are some names OF
popular publications. A paper which
was started in Moscow some years
ago was christened Beelzebub. Tcher-
nilnitsa CThe InkbOttle) was the name
of another.
Russian popular papers have, as a
rule, small calculations. Like the
daily papers, they are subject to the
censor, who stops the sale for time
or altogether if, in trying to be funny,
anything offensive to the authorities
is allowed to appear. Many papers
are subject to what is known as the
preventive censure"; that is, the edi-
tors must submit everything to the
authorities before publication. A cen
sor who allows any serious anti-gOv-
ernmental hint to escape is dismissed
from his post for neglect; but this
does not prevent the editor also being
punished.

called him, was an idle, dissOlute fel-
low. with a wife a great deal too
good for him. She bore with patience
his shortcomings. found excuses for
him, and took in washing to help him
earn the living But one day Booty
came home more intoxicated than
usual. He threw himself upon the
bed without stopping to take OF his
shoes, and went to sleep.
Then Mrs. Flinders patience gave
way, and she resolved to administer
suitable punishment. She procured
at once a large gunnysack, ripped it
open, spread it on the bed by the
side of her husband, rolled him over
upon it, and sewed him up in it with
good strong Irvine, leaving only his
head free.
Six or eight hours later, when she
thought he had had enough sleep for
her purpose, she rolled him over on
his face, and with a stout, seTviceable
rawhide, borrowed during the inter
val. she began operations
"Wh-what's all this?" demanded
Booty, rOusing himself and beginning
to squirm.

been developed at the washbOard.

Does the devil enjoy seeing US
make mistakes? Systematic fore
thought is an enemy of mistakes.
Amos r Wells tells the following in
the Young Peoples Weekly:
There was sold not long ago in New
York city what is probably the most
expensive land ever sold anywhere;
certainly the most expensive ever sold
in New York.
It was a tiny strip of land, and, in
its widest part, it measured only
seven-eighths Of an inch. It was forty
feet long. 1t contained, in all. only
seventeen and a half square inches.
1t couldn't be seen on the map except
with a microscope.
Yet it was undoubtedly there. It
lay alongside an expensive plot Of
ground that was to be used for a
dwelling By some error in calcula-
ton IL had not been included in the
purchase, and it had TO be bought
Why must it be bought?" you ask.
NO one could do anything with so
small a piece Of land"
Indeed, you are wrong. An evil
minded man could do much mischief
with il. That seventeen and a half
square inches, you must remember,
reaches up into the air as high as the
sky. He could raise on it an iron plate
that would cut OF air and light and
view from the forty feet on both sides
Of it, and utterly ruin the finest
houses that might be built there.
Just such abOminable things have been
done So the land had to be bought
Fifty dollars was the price decided
upon as fair, and it was promptly paid.
That was at the rate of S2.S6 a square
inch. At this rate the average city
