Secretary Bonaparte has brought
strange notions with him into his cab
met Office. He starts out by returning
railroad passes sent TO linn by the rail

has been in danger Of being classed as
a crank Now, at the risk of insuborna-
tion he ranges himself with men who
have been retired from public posi-.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS

Health is WORTH Saving, and Some
Rock Island People Know How

Many Rock Island people take their

Kidneys can be quickly and perma

BAD BLOOD

The blood supplies nourishment and

cannot supply the uutrinent the system

diseases and troubles that are constantly

Corruptions In Elections.

We think great injustice has been done to
the people in the charges that they are cor.
rupt, and sell their votes.
4. In one Of the Western States IL is charged
that from 100 to 5000 votes are on the
market. II we strike q divide between 1900
and 5000 we would have, say. 5000 votes that
could be bought. 5000 votes at S10,0 90 apiece
would be $4,000. Who could afford to pay
$50 600 for the votes OF q little Office, even II
the votes were for sale?
One thing Is certain, Abbeville County Is as
straight as q .shingle, and as honest as a
dollar in the matter Of elections.
oIfa man was known to seek to advance his
interest by treating, his defeat would be GER
tain.
Ifs candidate hould be caught in the act OF
trying to buy the vote Of any religious de-
nomination by subscribing to a church In
which be was not interested, his defeat
would be Insured.
II It IL known that q candidate Is trying to
buy his election by lending q quarter to the
impecunious voter, he may be awakened to
the realization Of the fact that corruption In
elections is condemned In Abbeville County.
II an injurious story is circulated just be-
fore the election, the report is charged up
against the party who would like to be
benefited by the evil report.
Abbeville is as near right as any county In
any State.

Kind Words.

When we see enough OF character assassina-
ton to max the heart sick, n when we see
the Withholding of the Just need Of praise
that may be due to q fe~llow-coworker. 1t is
refreshing to see a word of kindness. This
expression is prompted by the notice Of the
death ofMoses Winstock which appeared in
the News and Courier Of recent date. The
unreserved praise seems to have been spoken
with perfect sincerity. M the words were so
deserving Of the man whom we respected we
copied the piece in the Press and Banner.
The newspapers, as q rule, throw SO much
vitriol that it is truly refreshing to see a
word Of kindness. We do Eot see q great
many Of the city newspapers outside OF this
State, but those with which we are acquaint-
ed seem more kindly and are less disposed to
depreciate the worth or the merit Of those who
attract their attention. For instance: The
Atlanta News not 80 long ago had an article
~bestowing uureserved praise on his competi-
ton whose name had been associated with
the candidacy for governor. John Temple
Graves, II by nothiug else, in that article
proved that he was q gentleman who lives
and moves in an atmosphere above the
petty spites and jeslousies that 80 often move
men'to little or mean acts.

The lSwayne Trial.

Judge Swayne Of Florida Is on trial before
the Senate for "hish crimes and misdemean-
ors." One of the "high crimes and misde-
meanors' lies in The fact that Judge Swayne
charged $40 q day for his daily expenses, per-
haps for railroad tickets and hotel bills, while
holding court. He perhaps did not spend
over IS a day. or he may have boarded with
friends and kindred with. no cost lat all for
hotel bills, and he may have done the doubt
full thing in accepting free passes.
1t Is very naughty for the judge to charge
q profit or his outlay for hotel bills and rail-
road tickets, and 1t Is eminently proper and
right that Senators Inc Representatives
should sit as jurors in the trial Of this Judge,
who has disgraced the ermine. The jurors In
this case never having ridden on free passes
land never collected mileage for the
miles travelled can have a clear object lesson
In the enormity Of making charges for ex.
penses that were never incurred. Perish the
thought that any of the Jurors should have
been guilty Of a crime like that OF Judge
Swayne In accepting free railroad passes and
then collecting mileage.
1t Is a poor rule that doesn't work both
ways. If our Senators or Representatives have
ridden on free passes and then collected
mileage wherein does their act differ from
that Of Judge Swayne9 II they have done
so,:.would they be qualified to sit az jurors on
his case?
The charges of errors or crimes in Judge
Swayne's judicial acts are proper subjects Of
Investigation. The facts should determine
his guilt or innocence, even II they should be
barred by the statute of Limitations. 1t looks
very much:like spite or persecution to rake
up things five years old. II the Judge exceed.
ed his authority the fact should have been
brought to the attention Of the proper an.
thorities at the proper time.

New WarehOuSes

We believe that three new warehouses are
in contem plation. one on the Seaboardi and
two on the Southern. Whether any Of them
will materialize we do not know. but we do
know that there is q disposition on the part OF
a few citizens to make the venture. Farmers
will always keep cotton for better prices. and
some of them will want TO borrow money on
their warehouse receipts. The warehouses OF
the county afford a safe and cheap storage.
The storage enables farmers to draw money
on their warehouse receipts. The plan of
storing. and drawing money on cotton makes
the planter master Of the situation. When
be draws money he can afford to hold his cot
ton.

The Cold Weather.

The country has been In the hands Of a
blizzard for several days, and we see by the
newspapers tina the thermometer In many
places registered the temperature until the
mercury wanted to get out OF the bottle. Ice
and snow, sleet and rain played hjjinks.
About the worst froze up place was the city
of Atlanta. Street cars and all sorts OF
vehicles were frozen still on the tracks. The
telephone and telegraphic messages were
roze on the wires. People In their hurry 10
lay down on the sidewalks and kick up their
heels, broke their arms.
Abbeville had her full share OF the cold
weather. Ice and o sleet and rain, came
with the wind, but in our city we see no
frozen street cars. and We miss no hacks
carriages or automobiles from their accus'
toned tracks. Bill Williams, king Of the
best and swift moving vehicles. meets the
trains with the regularity of the dinner bell
And all the drays, wagons and other vehicles
speed their way through the slush.

has delivered only 81 sscks-or 2 tons and l
