All over the State the graves and
monuments of the sleeping heroes
were buried beneath profuslon OF
beautiful flowers yesterday. Though
they have long years ago "crossed
the liver and gone to rest" their un-
selfish devotion to the cause they
loved and for the defense of which
they gave up their lives, the sacrifice
they made is cherished, in the
archives Of memory as priceless
heritage to generations yet unborn.
1t is right and proper that we should
honor and revere the memories OF
the "hoys who wore the gray who
now sleep the sleep of the brave.

In speaking of Peruna, Robert Down

"I find Peruna preventative against
all sudden summer ills that swoop upon

is the finest travelling companion and
safeguard against malarial influences.
"You may notice that persons in poor
health always find the heat most intol-

The attendance upon the lss
county couvsntiou, was remarkably
large considering that there are at
present no grave issues involved in
the approaching political campaign to
stir the people up. Consequently it
m1st have been from a sense Of duty
to the party and to the State and
county witch induced the people to
attend this meeting. Another re-
markable and at the same time 8
pleasing and gratifying feature of
this gathering was the fact that
great many earstwhile Conservatives
were present and we're active partici-
pants in the proceedings, something
that has not happened before since
the stormy days of 1890, when the
Democratic party was so unhappily
divided and split asunder by the
wsrring factions then contending for
the mastery Of the political situation.
Truly the spirit of brotherly love is
again prevalent in the ranks and file
OF the Democracy of the State and
the party is wide and broad enough
to hold under it's banner men of
many minds but yet who are pstri-
otto enough tc bow in difference to
the will of tie majority whenever
that will is expressed through its
Legitimate channels.
Much interest, however, is mani
tested in the result OF the primary
election as regards county Offices.
These candidates are hard at work
promoting their own interests, and
their friends are taking deep in

as it is developing from day to day.

always and must inevitably attend
political elections, something will be

We believe that the late Democratic
County Convention made grave
b,under when it mixed the free
bridge question and politics. The
two will not blend together in har-
mony.
Building bridges and roads and
ferries has nothing whatever to do
with politics. Their construction
comes entirely within the province OF
the County Commissioners. If in
their Judgment either one, or all
three of them, is a public necessity,
if the convenience of q large proper
tion of the people of neighborhood
or section of their county will be
best subserved, then it becomes their
duty as county officers to supply the
demands If those whose interest
must be considered.
The proposition to submit this
question to the people in a political
primary election is in our opinion
out of place. Its only effect will be
to delay the Inevitable. We trust
that our present excellent and pro-
gressive board of Commissioners
will proceed at once TO commence the
work of uniting the two sections of
the county by the means of a free
bridge, for to do otherwise would be
doing the PEI PIE of the Fork an
Injustice. Our information is that
large per cent. OF the citizens Of the
Fork, as we'll as respectable num-
ber residing on the south side of
SaIuda river want this bridge and
they are entitled to it. Let the work
proceed.

Each Is also a personal friend of the new

There Is another eventuallty In this con-
