Now the Sumter Item is not only an
Nonesa, bat an intelligen newspaper.
It's opinion is frequently worth consid-

Is the idea Of sovereign State
creating by legislation a monopoly in a
particular subject Of merchandise, al

the merchant and monopolist Dem
ocratic principle?"

1t is a great pity that an election
cannot be conducted without so much
pulling and hauling Of voters to the
polls It would be an ideal condition
if every man would go to the polls and
cast his ballot without the aid and as
sistance Of workers, but ideal condi-
tions never exist, and can only be hop
ed for.

Sumter, S. C..

Dear Sir: Thomas ]. Bannon, drug
gist. Westerly, r /, says:
Westerly painters expect gallon OF
paint to cover 19 sets Of blinds; Devoe
covers 20; there is no such thing as
rubbing this out.
(The usual reckoning is for gallon
to cover 16. We suspect the Westerly
people don't wear their paint till it
gets very shabby.
Devoe covers more; Of course. we
know that; we know Why too; it's all
paint and full-measure.

Gold Prospecting Still Uasuccessful.

column il the ST. Paul Dispatch Of
saturdaywe find the following ia.
teresting article relativeto the gold
'fields Of the Vermilion, in the early
days Of the north country: s:.5 .z @z:sz.:
"Maj. Newson and his Mutual Pro
lection company have safely reach.
ed the Vermilion gold mines with
their train complete, consisting Of
three horses, twenty one oxen and
thirty six men. They were seventy
days on the trip, and most of the
time the thermometer ranged from
10 to 40%degrees below zero, with
snow about three feet deep. The
last forty miles was travelled at the
rate Of about two miles per day, as
they had to cut their way through
a heavy timbered country. On the
morning after their arrival the
party separated, number locating
claims and the remainder staying
on their 'townsite,' erecting build
ings for storing the supplies and
residence purposes. There are about
one hundred men encamped on and
around the lake-a small number,
but the vanguard of a mighty host
who will soon be dwellers in that
virgin wilderness. Capt. c. E. Da-
vis' party have taken possession of
Pine leland, one of the largest is
lands in Vermilion lake. Pierre
Bottineau's party, from Minneapo-
lis and St. Anthony, have already
staked out claims. Prospecting for
gold has not been very successful
as yet, because the hills are covered
with snow. Rock crops out every
where which seems to be rich in
metal. The Chippewas seem friend
~ and come around the camp oc-:
casionally to beg provisions or to
sell furs. They are apparently in a
destitute condition, and are ready
to undertake any job of packing
freights for a small amount of flour

The enormous losses of spring pigs
this year will probably cause good
many hog raisers to have their pigs
come later in the season. For the care
less man or the man without proper
equipment this may be best, but the
early pigs have decided advantages
which should lead rather to more at

THE WAR ON DUST.
How Coal Tar IL Used on the swis
Highways.

How Coal Tar In Used on the Swiss
Highways.
In ever progressive Switzerland there
Is ali anti-dust league which Is carry
ing on war against the principal fac
tors of dust composition. The processes
under consideration are oillng, water
ing with deliquescent salts and tarring
1t Is said that the three processes have
given general satisfaction, but that the
tar Is the most efficacious Of anything
heretofore tried
For tarring the product used Is
coal tar, the product of gas works. 1t
is black and viscous and its density
varies from 10 to 1.25. 1t can be APP
piled hot or cold. It's boiling point
varies between 10 and 80 degrees; and
thereafter it is impossible to raise 1t
to a higher temperature 1t Is spread
during warm and dry period, with
watering pots after the road has been
thoroughly cleaned After spreading
the tar is gently brushed, and no traffic
Is allowed upon 1t for at least twenty
four hours. The tar most preferable is
the product from gas made by car
bureted water.
The French government, after four
years trial Of the tarring method, has
obtained satisfactory results fully JUS
tifying the expense of from 2la to
cents per square yard. The annual
economy OH the wear and tear is
found to be about . cents a square
yard, and for watering l cent a square
yard. 50 that the process of tarrng Is
Of no expense while its benefits are |
evident.

LIFE ON EASY STREET.
1t Is an Ideal Place and Worth Striv-
Ing For.

Ing For.
There are more strong limbed, clear
headed, brave hearted people living on
Easy street than anywhere else in this
broad land, and their prime condition
there, for, although you may not have
thought Of 1t, there Is a close relation
ship existing between good health and
the consciousness of getting on well In
life. You can see this for yourself If
you will note how strong man droops,
Ike frost nipped flower, who by some
mistake loses his position, his posses
slons or the esteem of his fellows, one
or all. Shylock made hard bargain
with n borrower, and in his effort to
foreclose the bond lost his cash and
won the contempt and scorn Of all men.
Mental disturbance followed, including
physical Ill being, and, staggering away
from the judges bench and clutching
at the air, he cried, II am not wellp'
But you need not go back so far to get
an Illustration
And on the other hand you can see
by observing for yourself how the gain,
or even the anticipated gain, Of home
on Easy street will make a sick man
well, quicken dying hopes into life and
change the water of sorrow into the
wine of JOY. Recent literature has re-
minded us how happy turn In the
tide Of the affairs Of Josiah Wedgwood,
afterward to become the worlds great
pioneer pottery artist and inventor,
raised him from an inyalid's couch and
started him upon the road to affluence
and distinction among England's in
dustrial princes. Similarly Mary Woll-
stonecraft, afterward the mother of the
poet Shelley's wife, Ill from neglect and
discouraged by hardships, was, by the
success Of her modest ventures In lit
erature. heartened to undertake her
great life work, which soon yielded her |
a handsome royalty
Read the story Of Angelina, who |
lives on East street and has no desire |
to move and lose her clear medicines |
and her health. She was engaged to |
be married to Allan. He was a clerk |
receiving $12 per week, and she earned |
$s5 month teaching school. After a |
few years Angelina explained her con-
tinued spinsterhood by saying that she |
had given Allan time to develop into |
larger money getter, and he had not |
done 1t, so she decided against the adj |
Visibility Of exchanging an S95 a
month position for a $50 a month hus-
band. 1t is quite true that when pov-
erty comes In at the door love flies out
OF the window, but 1t is not because
the Angelinas are without sentiment.
1t is because love cannot feed on in
competency and thrives best on Easy
street.
So the Importance of everything that
VIII aid any one to get on in the world
Is established on a sure foundation
the testimony Of facts We do not ex-
alt mere money getting above those
qualities of head and heart which
make life worth living, but rather en-
phasize the honorable getting of it as
conserver of them. And hence the
wisdom of living on Easy street-Cent
