ELECTION COMMISSION
VIII Enforce the Law Requiring Elec-
ton Officers TO Serve.

Election commissioner VIII II.
Farley stated this afternoon that the
election commissioners OF McCrack-
en- county had decided to strictly en-
force Section 140 of the election law,
which prescribes a fine of from $25 to
$500 for failing or refusing to serve
as election officers.
A great many people probably do
not know that the law is very strict
about requiring persons appointed
election officers, to serve unless ex-
cused.
The election officers for McCack-
en- county say that there have been
more requests to be excused this
time than ever before, and that they
might as well set precedent and en-
force the law. If those appointed
were allowed to exercise their own
Judgment about serving, there could
be no elections, because of no one TO
conduct them. and in order to hold
elections the commissioners have de-
cided that every election officer who
fails to report for service will be
prosecuted.

PEOPLE CLAMOR
FOR PAYNE
UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND FOR
HIS REMEDIES.
DECIDES TO STAY ANOTHER
WEEK.

In an interview with Payne the ear
ly part of last week, he prophesied
that before he left this city thousands
of people would visit him at Smith q
Nagel's drug store. His prophesy mas
been fulfilled. He has been besieged
with callers since his first day here
and stlll hundreds upon hundreds OF
people are waiting to see him.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
has decided to extend his hours as
announced yesterday by remaining at
Smith q NageIs drug store until 10
p. m. on Saturday and also on sun
day morning. still he realizes that ev-
en- then he will be unable to meet all
the people clamoring for him. The
sale of his remedies here has been un-
precedented and the demands for
them are growing larger and larger
each day. Although Payne had con-
templated to stay in this city only
two weeks, the pressure to remain
longer has been so great that he now
wishes to announce that he has de-
cided to remain another week so that
all without exception will be given
an opportunity of meeting him.
Payne showed letter which he
received in his mail today. which IL
worthy of publication.
Mrs. Clifford Hall 1857 Peach
tree street, Atlanta. Ga, writes him:
81 was in wretched condition for
over eighteen months, suffering with
the troubles peculiar to women until
life lost it's charms and everything
seemed black to me.
81 suffered with chronic inflamma-
ton. was morbidly sensitive and so
nervous and irritable that | was a
burden to those around me.
eff | was out of bed one day, !
would be in bed two or three days
after.
81 was no use to myself or my fam

pense. Payne's New Discovery cured
me in a few short months. | had
hardly dared believe that my cure
was permanent, but having now en-
joyed the best of health for over
eight months feel that | am entire
ly cured.
Your medicine conquers that shat
tered condition of the system so COM
mon among women. removes that
tired feeling and gives new life"
These wonderful preparations are
now being offered the public here by
Payne on trial and all should take
advantage OF this most liberal offer

Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia, is
being quoted by some of the pa
pers as favoring municipal owner
ship. Here is how much he favors It.,
quoting his own words: "If politics
enter into the running of affairs of a
street railway company, then | agree
with Mr.. Ely that municipal owner
ship is out of the question:; but IL
politics can be eliminated, then l
can see no reason why a municipali-
ty can not run its own railways" The
word "if'' is what makes all the diff
ference. If city runs a street car
line and the politicians run the city.
the politicians are pretty apt to run
the streets car line. The people may
rule a city part of the time, but it's
the politicians who do 1t the greatest
part of the time, and as long as pol;-
ticians' rule or control a city they
will control whatever the city does.

Il thus: 'fThe grand jury visited the
police headquarters yesterday morn
ing and asked Chief of Police ]. J.
Regan to show them the sweat box
The foreman of the grand jury ex-
planned to the chief that he had read
so much in newspapers about how
prisoners are put through the sweat
box that he wanted to examine that
important piece of machinery. II
was the opinion of some of the men,
bers of the grand jury that the
sweat box was a wooden structure
in which the prisoners were placed
and then the atmosphere in the box
raised to a temperature where the
heat would sweat the secrets out of
the prisoners. The grand Jurors were
surprised when Chief Regain explain
ed that it was only a figurative term
that was used when the prisoners are
put through a rigid examination by
having questions applied to them"

MEsMERIzED BY WHITE.

Now that the peace conference Is a
thing of the past and the plenipoten-
tiaries of Japan and Russia have left
for their respective countries, the
question is puzzling many philoso-
question is puzzling many philosoph-
ical observers, why 1t was that ever
since MIR. Witte, the Russian pienif,o-
Tertiary landed in New York, a COM
plete reversion of public sentiment
took place, says the Lexington Lead
err. The former open preference for
the Japanese gave way to a decided
pro-Russian sentiment. What caused
that change? Before the arrival of
Mr.. White every reference to the war
and to the remarkable successes of
the Japanese on land and sean evok-
ed the most pronounced enthusiastic
demonstrations in favor of the Japa-
nese. All that seemed to be forgot
ten as soon as Mr.. White appeared
upon the scene.
This complete reversion of senti-
ment presents an interesting psyche
logical problem. 1t must be admitted
that Russia as a nation had done
nothing to bring about that change.
The military operations in Asia were
practically at a standstill and there
was nothing in the reports from the
seat of war that coufd have infiuenc-
ed the public mind in this country
one way or the other. The only ex-
PLANTATION that offers itself is that the
change was merely due to the per-
sonality of the Russian plenipoten-
tiary.
Comparative little was known OF
Mr.. Witte before he arrived here, and
even less of Mr.. Komura. Both were
spective countries, selected for that
important mission because OF their
eminent fitness. In that respect there
was no advantage on either side. But
II is strange fact that Mr.. White
made more friends for himself and
for Russia in one day than Baron
Komura during his entire stay in this
country. The Americans are a pecu-
liar nation. Social brilliancy, APP
proachableness, jovialty and conviv-
ialty are characteristics which the
Americans admire and the lack of
which they resent.
Whites frankness won him many
friends, although he could not speak
word of English. Baron Komura,
although Harvard graduate and
thoroughly familiar with the English
language, made few II any friends.
He kept himself aloof from contact
with the people and sacrificed his
popularity to what he considered the
dignity of his mission.
In many respects the Americans
are like children. They are easily
swayed. easily aroused, inclined to
become hysterical at the least provo
cation. and worship success above ev-
erything. A man may be the most
INSCRIPTIONS scoundrel and black
guard and II he is clever enough to
steal creditable sum of money, or to
cheat somebody out OF a fortune,
Americans are apt to forget his NOR
al defects and worship him as
great man, a hero.
