Life'S Car.

Hurry up.
No lingering by old doors Of doubt,
No lettering by the way:
No waiting a Tomorrow Car
Here comes along Today;
Success is somewhere down the track
Before the chance is gone
Accelerate your laggard pace:
Swing on, say, swing on.
Step lively
Belated souls are following fast:
They shout and signal Wait
Conductor Time brooks no delay;
he rings the bell OF Fate;
But you can give the man behind,
With one hand on the bar,
A final chance TO trick defeat
And board the moving car.
"NIove up
Make way for others as YOU SIT.
Or stand. This crowded earlh
Has room for every journeylng Sout
En- route to Higher Blrth.
Ave, room and comfort if no one
Took double share OF space,
Nor let his greed and seltishncSs
Absorb another's place.
"Hold FAST
The jolting switch of Obstacles
With jarring rails is near:
Stand firm OF foot, be strong OF grip.
Brace we'll, and have no fear,
The Maker OF the Car OF Life

Mad Dog Ridden.

4 dispatch to The State from Char
lesion says the mad dog which bit DR..
Edward Rutledge on Wednesday after
noon was killed Thursday night, not,
however until it had bitten number
of persons and dogs and as result,
there is a great mad dog scare in
Charleston. Mayor Rhett issued a
proclamation Friday afternoon, forbid
ding dogs on the streets without a
muZzle for the next ten days, and all
dogs which are found on the streets
will be arrested and impounded and
after 3 days will be executed unless
reclaimed and a fine paid. Women
are especially fearful Of the dogs and
there is a marked miminution in the
number Of children to be seen on the
streets and parks as a result Of the
scare. The dogs which are known to
have been bitten by the mad canine
will be shot by order Of the mayor
without regard to the wish Of the
owners, and every possible safeguard
will be put into practice, according to
the city official for the protection OF
the public. One dog was shot Friday
morning in battery home and Fri
day afternoon a large newfoundland
dog which was bitten Thursday, al
though the owners deny that it was,
was taken up and the order will doubt
less be given to kill it. The public
approves of the vigorous measures for
abating the dog nuisance.

Seven Years Welded.

Mr.. and Mrs. Mas Preble Ct lnde.
pendence Iowa, have just celebrated
their SEVENTEEN wedding anniversary:
and, it is believed, hold the record for
married life in Iowa. if not in tie
United States. Mr. Preble is 81 years
old and his wife is 81.
They are both in good health, and
Mr.. Preble was found splitting wood
by the friends who called to congratu-
late. lie reads the newspapers and
keeps abreast with the affairs OF the
day. Mrs. Preble is quite deaf. but
otherwise. in good health. OF their
long married life, forty-eight years
have been spent in Buchanan county
and forty years in Independence. Both
were born in Vermont. They have
had seven children, and three are now
living.

Pointed Paragraphs.

When a married man loses any
thing he suspects his wife Of taking
it.
Most of our worry is due to the an
ticipation of things that never nap
pen.
A girl never learns to play solitaire
until she no longer has matrimonial
hopes.
Any mar who says he is satisfied
with his lot is either Shiftless indl-
yidual or a liar.
An ideal woman is one who is will
ing to spend more Of her husblnG, S
hardearDed cash for groceries than
or dry goods.

a Campaign Imposition.

The Columbia Record directs atten-
tion to campaign imposition that
ought to be suppressed, and which
prevails 10 greater or lesser extent
in every section OF the State. Candi-
dates are besieged on every hand for
loans or contributions of money, and
it would be well for them to adopt the
suggestion made herewith to organize
against the grafters generally, for it
is time the practice OF bleeding candi-
dates was stopped: Some candidates
for county offices object to their names
being announced in newspapers so
early in the game because j. sub
JectS them to the constant demands Of
the grafters, and it is stated that even
thus early the court house is daily
beseiged by these fellows. The candi-
dates themselves are largely to blame
for the continuation Of this deplorable
and most harmful political condition.
Last election an attempt was made to
get all candidates to agree to refuse
the constant and costly demand Of
grafters, but the plan failed because
some refused to enter into it. Why
they did so cannot be explained be-
cause it was a scheme for self protec-
tion. 1t would be good idea for the
plan to be revived II carried out it
would save candidates a great deal Of
expense and would do more than any
thing else to rid our elections of what
cannot be called truthfully anything
else but bribery" We wish the can
didateS in this county would adopt
the suggestion Of the Record. We
are sure that they would lose moth
ing by it, as these grafters have very
little influence. ANY man whose sup
port can be bought for a few dollars
amt worth much to any candidate.
