FIRE AT CHESTER

A disastrous fire occurred at Ches-
ter Saturday evening which wiped out
Weldy's store and the Chester Signal
office. NJ. Y. B. Scribner, publisher
of the Signal, had no insurance, and
the Weldy store was only partially in
sured. Mr.. Weldy places his loss at
about S., 500 and Mr.. Scribner at$lO00.
The latter saved his job press and a
good share of the type and the paper
will be printed on the job press until
larger one can be procured. From
all the circumstances it is surmised
that the fire was the work of an in
cendiary, but the motive in setting
the fire is a mystery which is hard to
| solve.

It is q fact that the fellows in
this world who turn the other cheek
and allow their enemies to smite it
also are not cutting much ice. The
great common herd of people refers
to them as rabbits. The world
likes a scrapper. We don't mean
by that q man who is always look
ing for trouble and who goes out Of
his way to hunt a fight. But a
fellow who stands up for his rights,
who is fair and decent in all things,
but who will fight at the drop OF
the hat when some one tries to run
over him. So now when man
puts the knife into us we must run
along and remember it. Some day
the opportunity comes to us to
strike back, and we always do it..
The opportunity always comes.
There is nothing so sure as the law
of compensation. The pendulum
may swing pretty far north at
times, but it is sure to go just as
far south a little later.-Okolono

The Senatorial Outlook.

a man must first have served n

pire 10 "A seat in the United States
Senate Mississippi, especially, has
lot Of editors who can be- placed
on this question. If among the
candidates for the United States
Senate there Is a governor, You can
set them down heart, soul and All
for the governor. Whether they

ties Of a senator, or whether II D.
the dignity of the executives posi-
tiOn that carries the weight Will b.
difficult To discover At any rate,
there is enough voluntary newspa-
per gIsh at the incipicncy Of every
senatorial campaign To induce the
incumbent governor To- offer for the
place. Since reconstruction days,
every governor has been an aspir-
ant or candidate for the United
States Senate with varying success
or retirement from political life.
First came Alcorn, then Amcs,
both Of whom were successful. Then
came Governor Stone, who aspired
but did not make the race because
Of views he held at variance with
the views of his people on the
money question. Governor Me-
Lauren came next and was success
full over Governor Lowry and Con-
gresham j NJ. Allen. Governor
Longino followed and went down in
defeat. Now comes Governor Var
daman, and with what success, the
political annals of 1907 will dis
close. Governor Nardaman il like
ly to be opposed by Hon. John
Sharpe Williams, one Of the most
famous Mississippians of the times,
and political contest rivaling in
brilliant Oratory and interest that
of the FoOte-Prentiss affair may be
looked for. In forecasting the out
come, ii might be- well To bear in
mind that wherever senatorial hon
ors are sought, as between n COVER
nor and congressman, the cover
nor has won in almost every in
stance.
This will not appear strange ii it
is remembered that the governor
office j. the center of considerable
patronage, and the chief executive,
whether by motive or otherwise,
holds his appointees in bonds Of
gratitude or appreciation.
Casting the searchlight into the
campaign Of 1907. however, by no
means, discloses the advantage in
the pending contest; for, the adj
vantage which the one may hold
over the other, will bc cclipscd by
the play of cloquencc and the pop
ularity Of the candidates.

A well known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for a cough medicine,
whether it was wanted for a child or
an adult, and if for a child they al
most invariably recommend Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The reason
for this is that they know there is no
danger from it and that it always
cures. There is not the least danger
in giving it, and for coughs, colds and
Group it is unsurpassed. For sale by
