GLADSTONE'S MEMORY.

William E. Gladstone had marvellous
memory. Sir Algernon West tells this
story OF it: I'VE were discussing in 1881
the conversion OF the malt tax into beer
duty. / had told him that the estimated
profit OF the malsters was three per cent
on each quarter OF malt The following
day he said: I understand that the mails.
ter's profit Is four per cent. No, sir
said. three per cent I certainly thought
IL was four. And then, turning TO Mr..
Young, said: Can you recollect as far
back as 1892? Was not the profit then sup
posed 70 be four per cent? IT was then,'
he replied 'Ah,' Mr.. Gladstone said Il
see how four per cent has got into my
mind. ] recollect studying the question

How They Stand.

The position of the candidates for
governor on the dispensary question
may be briefly stated as follows:
Mr.. Blease is satisfied with the dis
pensary as it is and insists that there
has been no corruption or dishonesty
shown.
Mr.. Brunson is opposed teetotally to
liquor selling in any shape or form,
and is against dspensaries, State OF
county, and in favor of straight pro-
hibition.
Mr.. Ansel and Mr.. Jones are in favor
of local option-letting each county
decide for itself whether it shall have
dispensary or prohibition.
Messrs. Manning, .McMahan and
Sloan are evidently convinced of the
rottenness, but still insist the dispen-
sary-a purified dispensary, they
SAYS the "best solution
Mr.. Edwards stands for local option
and is unalterably against the South
ern and all railroads monoplizing
traffic and travel with consolidated
lines.

Hunrar and Starvation.

A correspondent of the Associated
Press has just completed tour of the
provinces of Samara and Sarato, Rus
sia. He reports that the drought is
finally broken but the rains have come
too late to save the crop and help the
peasants, who are in a pitiable condi-
ton. Their cattle have either been
sold or are starving in the fields.
The government relief grainaries
were completely emptied during last
years famine. The present agrarian
disorders, which can be expected to
grow worse, are due largely to the
necessity of the peasants seizing food
and forage to preserve their lives and
save from starvation the remainder
of their cattle. These disorders have
reached the highest pitch in the pro-
vince of Voronezh, where the troops
and Cossacks, although in consider
able force, are practically helpless
and on the defensive. Many peasants
have been killed or wounded in despe-
rate attacks on the military patrols
and the rural guards.

by It Ye Shall Be Judged" "

Editor Holmes of the Barnwell Peo-
pie seems to think that just any sort
of old thing will do for governor, and
that a level headed senator or repre-
sentative is a far more useful and i'm
portant parsonage; that the people
should take more interest in the selec-
tion of the men who do the real work
than in the choice of the ''oversee."
but the trouble is we are only to
judge them: by the whiskey gauge as
to what proof they may be able to
stand in the present contest. Merit
and all other qualifications are side
tracted and seems to be of minor i'm
portance. just so he pulls the popular
chord, whether he "has the pass or
not, others have it for him." and he

Taking no Chances.

An old Pennsylvania farmer, while
on visit to Philadelphia, says a
writer in the Public Ledger, was taken
with violent toothache, and calling
on dentist, was informed that the
tooth must be extracted, and that he
had better take gas for the operation.
'The patient agreed to this, and
then started to count his money.
The dentist remarked: "Oh, you
need not pay until I have finished"
II reckon not" replied the farmer,
''but if you are going to make me un>
conscious thought I'd jest like to see
how I stand"

That's a. Fact.

Abduction cases are getting too
numerous. In former days horse
stealing was a capital offense. A 49,
year-old girl ought to be worth half
as much as horse and the abductor
should be made to hug a whipping
post. Preachers and notaries who
marry such should be touched up a
little just to remind them that there
is a hereafter.-Car. Spartan.

Claims to Be Paid.

ttBy majority vote the investigat-
ing committee has decided that claims
of liquor houses will be paid, but in
turning them over to the commissioner
and the State board of directors, it is
urged that each one be given the most
careful scrutiny before being paid.
This settles a matter about which
much has been said. It was brought
out by members of the committee that
many of the prices were exhorbitant,
much more than was charged the
small dealers in other States, but the
committee has decided that these are
debts of the State and as such ought

writes: ga severe cold contracted twelve
years ago was neglected until it finally
grew into asthma. The best medical
skill available could not give me more
than temporary relief. Foley's Honey

cent bottle entirely cured me of asthma
which had been growing on me fo1
twelve years. If I had taken it at the
start would have been saved years OF

that if the State made bad bargain
