Every Democrat on the Eastern
Shore should be at the polls next
Tuesday and cast his vote for the
Democratic ticket. 1t is duty we
owe our party and State and we can
not release ourselves from that obi
CATION under the excuse that our votes
will not be needed. This may be true,
but it is not sufficient excuse. Dem
ocratic votes are always needed when
our old enemy confrOnts us, and this
is especially true, when they are as
active as they are in the present cam
paign. The fact, that the Republi-
cans are making desperate fight to
win in many sections of the State is
enough to put every democrat on his
mettle and inspire him with a greater
zeal to discharge his full duty at the
polls. AS Democrats we surely can
not afford to be less lOyalto our party
than they are and we will not be,if we
remember, what Republicanlsmi in Vir-
ginia has been in the past and that 1t
is the same old party to-day, that it is
made up of the same old crowd ac-
tuated by the same selfish motives,
and that men who dominated it in the
dark days Of reconstruction, dominate
it yet. We have no right, surely, in
the light of their past performances
to regard their present fair promises
or expect more of them in the future.
Democrats especially who participated
in the Primary are in honor bound to
support the nominees of their party
party and they do not observe their
pledges either in spirit or letter if,ex-
cept for some good reason they stay
away from the polls on election day. 1t
is the duty of every Democrat in Nir-
ginia to vote next Tuesday-they have
entered into a solemn obligation to
be at the polls on that day and cast
their ballots for the full Democratic
ticket.

The Republicans are for free school
books and on that issue mainly, in
fact, have hoped to win in the present
contest. They have not told us, how
ever, in their efforts to deceive the
voters of the State, what free school
books mean, but the Superintendent
of Public Schools of Accomac does in
an article in this issue of the paper.
He tells us that free school books
would cost Accomac county about
81, 900, one half of what was spent
last year on public schools in this
county, and this would mean, that
the school term in this county neces-
sarily would have to be shortened one
half or taxes raised about 80 per cent,
and of that amount the whites would
pay approximately SO cents and the
colored people 4 cents in the dollar.
The fact, that school books are fur
nished free by the State to the chill
dren whose parents are unable to buy
them, emphasizes the demagogism of
the Republicans too clearly in the
matter to be mistaken. AS Demo-
Gratis we don't want free school books,
and as the Superintendent of Public
Schools of Accomac clearly intimates
no one having at heart the true well
fare of the State, whatever "his po-
litical faith" should want them.

Every true Democrat on the East
ern Shore, of course, will vote next
Tuesday who contrasts the record of
Judge Lewis, the Republican nominee
for Governor, with that of Hon.
Claude A. Swanson, the standard
bearer of the Democratic party. In
making that comparison, it is only
necessary to say, that Judge Lewis
has been lifelong Republican and
as such during the dark days of re-
construction and since has supported
every measure for the humiliation
and oppression of the people of Vir-
ginia. Mr.. Swanson, on the other
hand, has been a lifelong Democrat
and always in the forefront in the
conflicts in the best interests of the
people of Virginia.
AS the standard bearer of the Dem
ocratic party, able, earnest, progress
i've and without a blemish in his char
acter, Mr.. Swanson is entitled to our
support, and the Democrats, however
busy and whatever the condition of
the weather, must turn out and give
him and the rest of the ticket full
vote next Tuesday. We owe it to our
party, our State and ourselves.

No Poison In ChamberIain's Cough
Remedy

From Napier New Zealand, Herald
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board
of New South Wales, Australia, had
an analysis made of all the cough
medicines that were sold in that mar
ket. Out of the entire list they found
only one that they declared was en-
tirely free from all poisons. This ex-
ception was Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, made by the Chamberlain
Medicine Company, Des Moines, Iowa,
U. S. A. The absence of all narcotics
makes this remedy the safest and best
that can be had; and it is with feel
ing of security that any mother can
give it to her little ones, Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is especially
recommended by its makers for
coughs, colds, Group and whooping
cough. When taken in time it pre-
vents pneumonia. This remedy is for
sale by
B. S. Ashby & Co.,
Accomac, and all county agencies.

cost something.

$1l.225.65.

Total s1.22565
This makes 81, 225. so under the
most favorable estimate to introduce
free books in Accomac this term
After this the running cost in Wash
ington is S1.027 per pupil. This can
not be maintained in rural districts
on account of irregular attendance
and consequent broken grades. But
suppose it were possible to get down
to the Washington figures, it would
take from our school funds the first
year 81, 225.8O and each year there
after S5,612.9O. Is it not plain that to
maintain our schools as they now are
would require big raise in local tax
es, that is district taxes. Our district
taxes for the entire county last year
were S8,S15.52. So it seems that how
ever pleasing free books may appear,
to introduce them at this time would
seriously endanger the rural schools
of Virginia.
1 make these figures that all our
people of whatever political faith may
see this question from financial point
Of view.
Very respectfully,
G. G. Joynes.

Free School Books In Accomac-What
IL Means.

Z Mr.. Editor-Complying with yonr
request as to cost of free books to
Accomac county, l beg to submit,
first the cost for the school year end
ing July 81, 1905. The uniform graded
course of study being introduced in
the free schools Of Accomac cover in
the first seven grades the subjects re-
quired by law to be taught in all free
schools. BY this the average number
of books per pupil per grade is AT.
The average cost of book per pupil
per grade is .543 cents. This average
is taken from circular, No. 256, Text
Books for public schools, sent out by
the Department of Public Instruction,
July IA, 1904, and applied to the sub
jects cared for in the uniform graded
course. Hence the average costper pupil
per term for introduction of free books
would be in this county $2.551.1-5 and
this makes no allowance for any book
tapping grades. The number ofpupils
enrolled for school year ending July
81, 1905, was whites 4,49O-colored,
,, 1879. The cost of free books for last
term would have been 81, 45S.4S for
whites and S., $50. 80 for colored, total
$17O44SO.
We received last year from State
Funds $40, 532.67, from County fund
S6,971.92, from District fund $S,S15.52,
total $35, 1881. Take cost to intro
duce free books last year away from
this and we would have had SIS, 274.71
for all school purposes. This would
have necessitated about half school
term, or a big raise in local
school taxes. Go not think at this
period in our school work, that either
of these alternatives are for the best
interests of our schools. Last spring
Accomack people stood by our schools
as perhaps few counties (rural) in any
State in the South did in the way of
local taxation. The school popula-
ton under the old census was 1905,
aged limit to d. Under the new
school census, taken July 1905, age
limit to 20, Accomac's school popu-
lation is 1888. give it in districts.

$9,79O.5i I$i.432.95
.9,790.5i
$l4,223.35

:. Cost to introduce free books in this
county this school term S14,223.35.
Some readers may say this is over esti-
mating the cost in rural schools. In
view of this | beg to submit to the
people of Accomack the cost, taking
the city of Washington price per
pupil per term. The Superintendent
of Washington writes me the cost of
free books is $50, 800 per term. That
is the running cost per term is 1927
per pupil, To introduce free books
in that city we estimate the first year
cost at S2.05 per pupil. This in a city
where everything is favorable to uni
form grading and consequent cheap
ness, which can not be had with rural
irregular attendance. However let us
put the Washington cost to Accomack
taxpayers and it will be seen that free
books cost something.

O RHEUMAT1SM.

There are few diseases that inflict
more torture than rheumatism and there
probably is no disease for which a varied
and usless lot of remedies lave been sug-
gested. To say that it can be cured is,
therefore, a bold statement to make, but
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which enjoys
an exit lsive safe, has met with great
success L the treatment of this disease.
One application of PAN Balm will re-
lieve the pain, and hundreds of sufferers
have testified to permanent cures by
It's use. Why suffer when Pan Balm
