Work OF Democracy.

Gov FrnZl, OF Tennessee, in ace, ut
ing the renOmiuati n for the office. ,.X-
pressed some noble truths that W. uld
apply with equal force Ia all the
Southern States. Among o,hrr things
he said:
Before the Democratic panty came
into power, when the state was under
republican rule, il was bowed down in
poverty and ashes, its credit gone and
its treasury empty. 4 debt OF appnll-
ing magnitude weighing down the peo-
pie hampei ed :heir Industrial progress.
The Hover Of the states manhood was
DISTINGUISHED and denied a voice in the
government of their own affairs, while
ignorance and vice held sway and
5quandered the money and trampled
Upon the rights of the people. Under
Democratic rule these ills have been
ured, these wrongs have been Iighted.
Che debt Of nearly $4,000, 900 be-
lueathed to us by the Republican
party was adjusted and settled upon
terms lair alike to the creditors and the
people. Under laws wisely passed 10y
he Democratic party II sinking fund
vas created by which the principal 81
the debt is being paid with rcas,nai lie
rapidity. The credit of the state has
been restored, until today, in the money
markets of the world, the credit OF
4 Tennessee stands among the first OF
the states OF the Union.

The Democratic Candidate.

1t Is now a settled fact that the Hon.
Joseph G. Wysor will be the Democratic
candidate for Congress i'm the Ninth
Congressional District. He was the
only person who filed an application
with the District Committee to become
a candidate, and will. therefore, be pro-
claimed the candidate, as was done
with Judge Rhea two years ago.
Mr.. Wysor Is an able lawyer, eloquent
speaker and honorable gentleman; but
his political convictions are not in AZ
cord with those held by large major
ity OF the voters OF the district, and he
can hardly be elected as it's representa-
tive in Congress. His candidacy, how
ever, gives promise OF improved election
methods. Ifhe is the man he is reputed
TO be, and we believe him to be, the
Republicans will not have to contend
against the fradulent methods that were
employed in the last three Congress
sional elections In this district. We
take it for granted that he would not
desire to hold a seat in Congress OBJ
tanned by such fraudulent devices as
the Scott county ballot. In fact we
have heard him express his disgust for
that and the similar ballots that were
used in the election OF 1900.-Taze-
we'll Republican.
The above complimentary notice of
Mr.. Wysor is just, and will be appre-
ciated no doubt, by Mr.. Wysor. But 1t
would have lost none OF its force IL the
allusion TO fraudulent methods that
were employed in the last three Con-
gressional elections In this district, .
had been omitted. In view OF the re-
cent exposures in Scott County, the
question may well be asked il Col.
Slemp will consent to occupy a seat in
Congress If elected by the 400 voters in
Scott County, whose poll taxes were
paid by Mr.. Sloan, with somebody's
money, in violation Of the Constitution
and the BarksCale law, both in letter
and spirit? The Scott County ballot
does not merit mention in the same
generation with the Scott County poll
tax matter, as charged, and it has new
er been denied so far aswo have seen.

The poll tax list just completed,
shows thaC the Democrats OF the
county have paid their taxes generally.
Only few were left out, and some of
these overlooked the date, etc, and no
fund was furnished by any aspiranI

FARMER IN WINTER TIME.
Steady Jobs Are Feeding the Stock
and Keeping Warm.

The great steady vinter jobs on an
American farm in the north nowadays
are feeding the stock ard keeping
warm. And keeping warm nowadays
means hauling coal. When | lived in
the country. it meant cutting wood. 1t
meant for our large family constant
teaming day after day from the woods
to the wood yard ard wood pile that
must have covered i quarter of an
acre. 1t meant toward spring the COM
ing of men with horse power and
buzz saw to cut tircwood. and that was
almost as interesting IN operation as
thraShing
There We're other stirring days when
The lake had frozen hard and the ice
house was filled. involving ice cutting
and more teanny and more precarious
hitching on behind loads and going
back in empties. And early in the Win
ter there was the momentous and CORY
killing of pigs. Oh. that WAS indeed 4
stirring time! They kill a pig every
second, no doubt. in Chicago now
adays. but that is mere mechanical
routine. with no quality CT sport in it.
There was nothing SO very slow
about the country winter N days as
late as the civil war. suppose soap
making as Il domestic industry is as
dead as household spinning. In those
times of wood fires and wood ashes all
self respecting families made soap.
Our family had an outstanding kitch-
en- expressly for that use. with a big
cistern-like hogshead behind it in which
ashes were leached and convenient
tubs for holding the soft soap. \ very
handsome substance is soft soap Of the
proper consistency and complexion. and
a pleasing exercise it used to be for
the young to stir it with a stick and
watch its undulations. All the super
fuous fat Of meat from our kitchen
was turned into soft soap in those near
by old times.-Harper's Magazine.

Do You Want Strength?

If you want to increase your
strength you must add to and not
take from the physical. In other
words, the food that you eat must be

intestines. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure

strength to and builds up strength

Mr.. R. E. Miller is making great
improvements on his dwelling and
he, too, like Uncle George, will be all
smiles to night. But of the two, we
must think Uncle George will be the
happiest, for be not only has a new
dwelling, but the scorched cakes
prepared by clumsy hands are no
longer, instead biscuits, ham and
eggs prepared in the most skillful
manner will be served. Well, we all
can rejoice with Uncle George that
ever had 10 live in bachelors hall.
But others are rejoicing, too-the
young folks are talking of paying
him visit already.

them as they are said to have done.
