Making a Platform.

The Republican leaders in Wash
ington are devoting much attention
to their platform to be adopted at
the coming national convention in
Chicago. Senator Lodge, who is
slated for chairman of the Commit
tee on Resolutions, has prepared
sketches of various topics that he
thinks should be treated and has
submitted them to Senators and
others for suggestions. The prin-
cipal feature of the platform, it is
said, will be the tariff plank, which
will adhere to the principles of pro-
lection, but will not bind the party
not to revise the tariff.

A HARD STRUGGLE
Many a Mt. Sterling Citizen
Finds the Struggle Hard.

With a hack constantly aching,
With distressing urinary dis
orders
Daily existence is but struggle.
No need to keep it up
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure
you.
j. B. Lewis, of 426 Shelby ST.,
editor of the Frankfort Rounda-
bout, says: For year or more
suffered a great deal from dull
aching pain across my back. AT
times the aching was constant for
a day or two. If l sat still but for
short time it became almost un-
bearable and if 1 stopped or lifted
anything l felt sharp twinges in
the small of my back. The secre-
tions from the kidneys we're most
irregular as well as highly colored
and the odor very offensive. l had
my attention called to Doan's Kid
ney Pills through our papers and
got box. After using them few
days / commenced TO see an i'm
provement. l kept on with the
treatment and the pains on my
back entirely left me and the kid
ney secretions became normal.
From the great amount of good l
derived from the use of this medi-
cine have every reason to be con-
vinced of its merit and have had
the slightest hesitancy in giving it
my hearty endorsement"
Plenty more proof like this from
Mt. Sterling people. Call at the
drug store of F. c. Duerson's and

EASY WAY TO CURE CATARRa
Breathe Hyomei and Kill All Ca
tarrhal Germs. Money Back
if it Pals" Gays W. s.
Lloyd.

There is no dangerous stomach
dragging when using Hyomei. The
healing and aromatic balsams
which compose this wonderful
treatment are breathed through a
neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every 81 outfit.
In this way, the germ-killing and
health giving Hyomei penetrates to
the most remote cells of the lungs.
1t searches out and kills disease
germs in the air passages of the
head, throat and nose, soothes and
heals the irritated mucous mem
brane, and absolutely drives ca
tarrh from the system
Such remarkable results have fol
lowed the use of Hyomei by the
best people in Mt. Sterling, that W.
). Lloyd has the greatest conf
dence in its power to cure catarrh.
He believes in it so thoroughly, that
he will give his personal guarantee
to refund the money if 1T does not
cure, the purchaser to be sole judge.
This is an unusual offer and the
first time that any medicine or
treatment for the cure of catarrh
has been sold in this way. If it
cures, the expense is trifiing, while
if it fails, the cost is absolutely
nothing.
If you are fortunate enough not
to be troubled with catarrh, tell
your friends of w. S. Lloyd's offer
and get them to take advantage of
it. May IL, 25.

Sad Accident.

One of the most pathetic acct
dents that ever took place in that
neighborhood, occurred near Crock
ettsville, in this county. The wife
of Richard Combs. had gone into
the field to clear ground for plant
ing corn, and taken her babe, only
s months old. She had set fire to
corn stalks when high wind
caused the adjacent woodland to
take fire, and thus threatened fenc-
ing of the neighborhOod. Mrs.
Combs rar to where the fire had
caught. Returning to her baby,
she was Mortified to find that sparks
had fired the bed in the box in
which the infant lay, that the box
and bed were burned to ashes and
only a nearly cremated corpse was
all that remained.

EXTORTION OF RENTS In BAlTi-
MORE

After every calamity, when the hearts
OF most men and women ere open to
these who have suffered heavy losses,
ther are always those who look to I'll
their pockets from the ills that befaI
their fellow men. Baltimore is not with
out such two-legged hogs, as the following
extract from the Baltimore letter in the
Washington Star shows:
"Rents of offices, buildings and houses
of every character have been increased
from 80 to $50 per cent. There is no
attempt to defend the action, either. Tire
landlords say their places are needed and
SO badly needed as to make the exorbltant
prices unsuitable. 1t is difficult to re-
concile the honest, conscientious ctizea
to this view.
There are exceptions to the rule, OF
course, and some lessees of buildings have
gone so far as to tender whatever vacant
space was at their disposal to the fire
sufferers free of all charges. Others have
been content with normal and modest
rentals.
But in the majority Of cases the cor.
porations have found themselves face to
face with the most cut-throat proposition
ever imposed upon a dependent people.
For an office room that has ordinary
been considered steep at $25 a month,
they have been compelled to pay $75. III
addition TO the exorbitant rate, they have
been coerced into taking long term 4ease.
they will need the rooms Tor the
length of time specified or not. The av
erage advance, it was stated this morning
in the real estate Offices, has been about
fifty per cent.
Many of the buildings the losers have
been forced to occupy are the most anti.
quated, the most dilapidated of any in
the city They are buildings and rooms
OH which the "to let" signs have be-
come encased in cobwebs. Yet these IN
desirable quarters have taken on waltz
alton far above the rent exacted in tive
most modern of metropolitan structures.

in May, or he will lose his right to vote
in the November election. In the temper
ance election in Raleigh last October,
quite number of good men, who had
vote. They did not know that failure to
pay before May disfranchised them for
that year. Now, the November elections
are to be very important. Every citizen
should vote, but to vote he must be quail
fed by the payment of poll-tax, and it
must be paid before the first Monday in
isheed the wages of some until late in
the year, under the mistaken idea that
they were doing them a kindness to delay
as long as possible. Under the new law,
the greatest kindness a sheriff can do to
citizen who is negligent about paying
his poll tax, is to require payment before
May. Sheriff Page, in Wake, is pursuing
that course, and in so doing he sets
good example to other tax-collectors. Be-
sides helping TO save the right to vote to
a negligent man, the State Treasury ar1
the county treasures need the taxes due
to meet current expenses, and early pay
ment helps both.
Showing how our able and astute State
Chairman looks at this matter, we take
this extract from private letter received
Yesterday from Senator Simmons: Il hope
YOU will continue to agitate the subject
of the payment of poll taxes. Republi-
car politicians predicted that many white
voters would be disqualified by reaosn of
the poll tax provision. Their prediction
will come true if sheriffs do not press for
early payment and the citizenship of every
county does not exert itself to giving pub
licity to the necessity of payment before
May. No man over fifty is affected by
this law, no person too poor to pay, no
member Of fire or military company, ard
many others who are exempted from the
payment of poll tax. The law requiring
all men who are able to pay, to conSri-
tribute the amount of poll tax to the ex-
penses of government as a prerequisite 20
voting, is based upon sound principle.
