HOW IT SEEMS.

Authoritative United States Sen
atorial breeze has subsidized with
general editorial expression from
the country press. Many reasons
were given why Judge Paynter
should be chosen. Samples Of
which in substance are as follows:
He is a sober man, an active
man that brings things to pass, be-
cause of persistence, determine
ton and arguments. He is a
truthful man, conservative man
that speaks after mature delibera-
ton and it looks as il the Paynter
chorus will be general.

NEVER STOLE AN UMBRELLA
In This Mans Case No Question Of
Morals Was Involved.

81 enjoy the unique distinction of
being able to state that | have never
stolen an umbrella" he said, "and
l suppose you would have to travel
few miles before you could find
another man who could boast of the
same thing. But honestly l never
stole an umbrella in my life. The
fact is that | never had any use for
an umbrella. | never owned but
one, and l paid only SO cents for it.
1t soaked up water like a sponge,
and it was almost impossible for me
to carry it during rainstorm. /
have always wanted to meet the
thief who stole it, so ! could thank
him for taking it, for if | had kept
it l know | would have been hump
backed by this time just on account
of the weight of that umbrella. Yes,
l am prejudiced against umbrellas.
| grew up in the country, and often
/ have known negroes to work in
the hot sun all week, and on Sunday
/ have seen the same men plodding
down the road toward the country
church with palm leaf fan in one
hand and an umbrella in the other.
All week long they would pillow in
the hot broiling sun, but when the
Sabbath rolled around they would
have to get under an umbrella. That
early impression of the umbrella
has never quite left me. So l never
use an umbrella. Since / do not use
this useless article useless from my
standpoint, mind you, for | do not
pretend to speak for the balance of
mankind(, there Is no reason why !
should steal umbrellas. 1t is not,
you will see, question of morals.
Really | am not inclined to think
any question of morals is involved
in this business of taking umbrellas.
But that is another question. The
point had in mind was that it
would probably interest you to see
man who had never stolen an UNI
brella, and that's why | brought the
question up. / am the man.

BY WHAT IS A POLITICAL
PARTY JUDGED?

Political parties are estimated
and judged not only by the princi-
Piles for which they stand, and the
work accomplished but by the
men who are the opponents Of
those principles--the doors Of
things. These parties are COM
posed of individuals. The reputa-
ton, character, in short the life OF
each individual is factor in the
make up of the party.
A majority Of men who hold
certain views, or whose lives are
the embodiment of moral or
immoral principles determine the
status OF tine whole. Honor is re-
hected upon political party when
its chief ruler or its leaders in the
formation and execution Of laws
are truthful, honest, capable, clean.
self-respecting When these prin-
ciples exist the "great common
people" feel secure and the per-
manency Of that party is assured ;
but when trickery, deceit, fraud,
rascality and Immortality flourish,
there is just cause for humiliation,
the outlook is dark, and the foun-
dation whereon the structure rests
is tottering and after awhile there
VII be a wreck.
Again, a people, a community
whe Their Of town, county or state
usually get what they WANT and
what they DESERVE. History con-
firms the declaration that frequent
ly when either the Democratic or
Republican party dominates by an
overwhelming majority these evil
dences Of decay manifest them
selves, and it behoves patriotic
men to be careful.

The other day we heard two men
talking about hogs. One of them
said: "There is no telling how much
a man can lift with one hand. Yes
terday / sold a hog that weighed
$50 pounds, and l could lift him
from one pen into another easily
with one hand. / commenced to do
that when he was a little pig, lift
ing him every day from one pen
into the other by the ear with one
hand" Said the other: 81 do not
doubt it, for l have done the same
thing, and l will tell you another
thing l did. l built two pens close
together and put pig in one of
them. fixed up that pen for a
bedroom and fed him in the other.
l made a hole in the partition just
large enough for him to crawl
through comfortably, and every
time he was fed he had to 90
through that hole. Well, yesterday
/ sold that pig, and he weighed just
400 pounds. He seemed to get
through the hole on the last day as
easily as he did on the first" Liar

that while the bones OF man and ami
