The closer the capital is to the
people the less the taxes will be.
4 vote for Mitchell is a vote TO
reduce state taxes for all time
70 come.

The benefit of having q man Of
ability representing the state in
the q. S. senate is very forcibly
brought to mind by the fact
that Senator Kittredge is likely
20 be given the chair manship Of
the Panama canal committee, at
present one Of the most impor-
tant committees of the senate.
Mr.. Kittridge has been but q
couple Of years in the senate and
this signal tribute to his ability
i not only something Of which
he may justly feel proud, but it
i an honor in which the state OF
South Dakota has q rightful
share.

comes Mitchell Of Oregon, Mil

enfeebled condition Of Platt, the
objection is made to both him

advocates Of the Nicaraguan

RECALLING BOYhOOD SCENES.
A NEW BRITAIN FRIEND WRITES THE
 BEE.
Ma" prito;n \

New Britain, Nov. 30, 1904.
 Editor VIEWPOINT BEE: 1 have just accidentally come across an issue November II, 1904, of THE BEE con- taining the letter from H. J. Rowland from Missouri, It seemed like a sig nal from among the echoes of the past years calling a halt and a backward look while the memories of bOyhood's days come dropping by. Not Warren, birthplace, and my home for my early boyhood years, and among my dearest remembrances are of the hours and days spent rambling over the hills of old Litchteld county with cousin Horace Rowland, my playmate and comrade of those early days. In look ing over the columns Of your paper 1 see jottingS from here and there. Warren, Kent, Washington, New Mil ford, Marketable and other places, and do you know it brought to my mind the little couplet we used to hear so often and which l don't know as l was lad and went to school:
 ''HoW doth the little busy bee,
 Improve each shining hour"
 You will remember it, and how he gathered the honey from "every open ing fOwer." Your paper seemed full of it for you seemed not to have missed a nook or a corner of old Litchteld county and I could fairly feel the breezes of those old hills and valleys and inhale the OdorS of the sweet clover and the honeysuckle. Only a few times in these later years have 1 been over the old stamping ground, but change is written over it all. The old red schoolhouse in Kent Hollow. where my first years of school life were spent of course is gone: it was replaced, 1 think, in the sixties, by more modern structure. The old willow tree which stood in the fork of the road at the Boomers" and whose shade was our summer playground has long since Succumbed to time and to the elements and has passed away, probably even from the memories of the present resi- dents. The old house on the corner where I spent my early days, with many others has passed away, and 1 looked almost in vain for even a representative of the old names that were once so familiar there. Uncle Jesse Benedict, (you know all the old men were "Uncle" in those days) Uncle Tracy Beeman, Uncle John May, Uncle Ager Beardsley, Uncle Henderson Benedict, Uncle Harmon Beeman, Marshall Straight. Miles Camp, Bird sey Beardsley, all were gone but when I came to visit the 'burying-ground' we had no cemeteries in those days) l found most of the names there, carved in the silent marble that marks their last resting place. I visited some of our old play grounds but nothing looked as it used to look. The trees were gone, the brooks and streams seemed shrunken and drying up, and nothing seemed as it used to do, or is it I that have changed and am out of touch with those old times and scenes. With excuses for trepassing so long and regards to all,-[C. F. Sheldon.

Shall we in any way celebrate next July, the 2OOth anniversary of the birth of Newtown? That is the ques- tion. An Old Home Week, or, rather, an Old Home Day, occurs to us as a very fitting mode of celebrating so im- portant an event. We have no furth- CT plan at present than to moot the idea enough to see whether citizens of all classes will help in carrying out such celebration; and the only way to find this out is to get them together and talk it over. We, therefore, ask that men and women of all classes, from all parts of the town, come to- gether at the High school building, next Monday evening, December 12, at 8 o'clock, to air ideas as to how to go to work at it at all. At this meet ing a permanent committee would be appointed, and steps taken that may bring the project down from the air upon firm ground. Talk the matter over w4h your friends before next Monday evening, and let us arouse the impetus of getting the ideas upon lips and tongues. .-tOtis w. Barker, E. L.. Johnson, A. P. Smith, Milo A.

 RUTLAND, VT, August 5th, 1902. Dur Sirs:

The Price Of Cotton.

Yesterday and today, cotton in
Brookhaven brought 1926. The
threatened war in the East be-
tween Russia and Japan seems to
be powerless to do anything more
than spasmodically check the up
ward tendency Of the market. 1t
would not be surprising if the
price Of the staple reaches Is cents
by March 1st.
Later.A This afternoon, as The
Leader goes to press, the price Of
cotton has dropped to 1915, due
to information today that war
has actually been declared be-
tween Russia and Japan. As a
result of this news, March con-
tracts dropped over 40 points.

A Good Measure.

Hon. w. Calvin Wells, who
represents Kinds county in the
Legislature, has introduced bill
to break up vagrancy, and which
it is believed will result in placing
idle, shiftless negroes who swarm
the streets of cities and towns on
the..farms, where they belong.
The law is a copy of what is
known as the Calvin vagrant law
of Georgia, where it has worked
10 successfully, and in Alabama,
where it has been productive of
much good.
It is drastic, and imposes a
heavy fine upon anyone who is
convicted for loafing, or having
no visable means Of support.
The vagrant is placed under a
heavy bond to 60 to work, and if
be does not begin to make liv-
ing within a certain limit of time,
the bond is forfeited and the
vagrant, upon conviction, sent
to the county farm. Representa-
tive Van Watts, Of this county, is
q warm advocate Of such meas

A Birthday Celebration.


On last Sabbath there was q
happy family reunion at the home
of Mrs. Ada Davis Smith, a few
miles northeast of this city. The
occasion celebrated the seventy
fourth anniversary of the birth
of Mrs. Smiths father, Mr..
Woodward Davis, of Caseyville;
and there were present Mr. and

Mrs. G. W. Poets. of Brookhaven
and a number of other small rela-
tives, besides the editor of The
Leader and his wife.
A sumptuous and delicious
menu was served at table, which,
from the oysters to the coffee,
did great credit to the generous
hearted and sweet-spirited hos
tess of the occasion. After din
ner was served, those two ac-
complished and cultured young
ladies, Misses Dora and wise
Smith, who are daughters of Mr..
Ford Smith, we'll known to many
of our readers, as we'll as cousins
of the Davis family. charmingly
entertained the admiring assembly
with music or recitation, much to
their pleasure and advertisement.
The central figure throughout
the happy hours was the revered
gentleman, in whose honor the
day was observed. His benign
countenance, bearing its lines of
benevolence, good nature and
sturdy character, makes his life
one to be known and read of all
men; and there are none but who
devoutly wish that Time may con-
tinue to deal as leniently with
him in the future as in the past;
and that the CHEEKY companion of
his latter days may continue to
brighten the way that leads on,
for such as he, to ''Heaven's i'm
mortal spring, where mans ma
jestic beauty may bloom again,
bright through the eternal years
of Loves triumphant reign"
Every guest was deeply indebt-
ed to Mrs. Smith for a most de-
lightful day in her pleasant and
cozy home, and innumerable good
wishes went out to her and her
two splendid children for future
years of happiness and prosperity,
in which the writer heartily
joined.

Congratulations.

Mr.. John H. Cullom, Editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written a
letter of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy as follows: sixteen years ago,
when our first child was baby, he was
subject to croupy spells, and we would
be very uneasy about him. We began
using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
1887, and finding it such a reliable
remedy for colds and Group, we have
never been without it in the house
since that time. We have five child
rem and have given it to all of them
with good results. One good feature
of the remedy is that it is not disagree
able to take and our babies really like
it. Another is that it is not danger
Gus and there is no risk from giving
an overdose. / congratulate you upon
the success of your remedy" For sale
