The influence ot climatic condi- tions in the care of consumption is very much oeerdrawn. The poor patient and the rich patient, too, can do much at home by prop.

ORGANIZED DEMOCRACY.

Unfortunately the bolting spirit seems to be growing among Dem ocrats in Tennessee The disposi- tion to bolt has been manifested in several counties. Some of the more intense and excitable parti- sans of the senatorial candidates seem to be more interested in the election of their particular candi- date for senator than in the wei fare and success of the Democratic party. This spirit of factionalism and personal partisanship is with. out Democratic warrant or party justification. It shows a disregard for party in the championship of the individual If persisted in it will weaken or destroy the spirit of organization-and without or. ganization no party can succeed.
 Those who bolt the party and thus seek to disrupt and disorgan- ize 1t in the supposed interest of a candidate for senator make a

There was an intimation Tn the Little Rock Gazette, last week, that Gov. Davis was showing an inclination to culti- Yate the acquaintance of his as sociates on the different Boards of the State The Governor and his associates on these public Boards have not been on very intimate terms for sometime, and the public service has prob ably suffered in consequence of this fact. Now, If the Governor IS willing to "bury tine hatehet'' t'' and cooperate with his fellow members he ought to meet with encouragement from them, since the public welfare is of more i'm portance than the pique of the in dividual.

WHICH WAY ARE YOU PULLING?

WHICH WAY ARE YOU PULLING?
 There is in this world two sets of forces-one pulling down, the other pulling up. The homes, the church. es the ethical societies, schools, art museums, higher drama and various social organizations are pulling men up-putting more light and joy in human lives and increasing the sum total of the worlds hap piness.
 Arrayed against these benign agencies are the forces of greed. appetite and passion which through all time have pulled men down. wards. Every man and woman is influenced more or less by both of these forces. He yields more of ten and more readily to the one with which he is most in sympathy. Habits, purposes, ideals, associa- tions are all tendrils, or tentacles, by which one or the other of these forces gain hold on one.
 As time changes these forces as- sume new shapes. new phases, new names, but through all ages and under all conditions they are sub stantialiy the same-the one ami mated by love, the other by greed the one working for the great brotherhood in which there shall be d common glory and common good, the joy of d noble self-respeet, the other animated by seldshness that is ready to see humanity dam ned. root and branch, if 1t can only put money in the purse" and attain to the qualification of the Inst for place and power
 We are influenced by these for ces. but We blend into them and become part of them. Our very action is force for good or evil in some other soul. It is a fearful, intending battle, of vital and far reaching results, and it Is the first business of everyone to ask himself the question (Which side am l on:o Am 1 with the forces which diminish the sum of hu- man joy and dwarf the worlds man. hood, or am l on the side of those forces which flood the world with gladness and promote the charac- acter which is the basis of all true civilization :''
 Ii is purely q question of love or selGshness. of manliness or unman- liness, of the kindly human inter est that would live for the brother hood or the stupid brute inditfer- ence that would find its supremest satisfaction in its own miserable greed No matter how unimpor- tant you may seem to be in the worlds affairs you are vital force one way or the other. Which way are you pulling ?-Russellville Courier Democrat.

 Sheriff StiiweGl brought Joe White to Hamburg Friday after noon from Monticello. where he had been confined in jail for safe keeping. White was brought down in obedience to writ of habeas corpus issued by Chan csllor Hawkins on petition filed by w Whites attorneys in order that the Chancellor mlght hear evi- dence 10 determine if White should be granted bail. White stands charged with the murder of his wife, who was killed two or three weeks ago near Cypress, in the southeastern part of the county.  At the examination before Judge uewkins, White claimed that his wife was shot through crack in the house by someone outside It developed, however, that White had come home that night intoxi- eated and that he had been firing off his pistol in the house that all the inmates ran out of the house during the shooting done by White and on their return Whites wife was found mortally wounded. The story of White was evidently not believed by Judge Hawkins. who refused to liberate him. but granted him bail in the sum of SIooo, which White s friends are endeavoring to make.-lfamburg Clarion.

Ouail are Increasing.

The Denver papers have recently
noted the fact that quail have rapidly
multiplied in Colorado since they have
been placed under the protection of
the law, particularly in Mesa, Delta
and other counties in the valley of the
Grande river on the western slope.
Careful enforcement of the statutes
the last few years has given the quail
an opportunity which did not exist un-
til the case was taken up by the legis.
lature. There will be no open season
for quail shooting in this state until
October, 1907, but when that time ar
rives sportsmen will find plenty OF good
hunting in that line, although devasta-
ton must be confined to other varie-
ties than the bob White" quail, which
will not be freed from legal protection
until 1890. Permits have lately been
issued to Harvey Z. Golden and 0rson
Adams Of Grand Junction to trap quail
In that portion OF the state and as far
down ~ Delta county, where the bird
has hourished In abundance and be-
come almost too prevalent. The cap
tursd quail will be sent to MontssumA
and Garfield counties and other por-
