Mr.. Walter Hastings has returned
from Chattanooga, where he went on
business for the Herald. While there
he purchased for the Herald double
end, two-cylinder, fat bed, Scott per-
fecting press. For job offices and
newspaper Offices combined, this is
one of the finest presses made. 1t is
about four times faster than our pres
ent press. 1t will do two kinds of
work at a time. For instance, it can
run the Herald and a large poster at
the same time: one in one color, one
in another 1t can print a magazine of
80 pages at one run, and it can run of
ten thousand in four hours. 1t is al
most as great a curiosity in the press
line as our Linotype machine is in the
type setting line 1t is larger and
faster and finer and more expensive
than the Herald needs right now; but
Columbia is growing and the Herald
expects to grow with the town, and
while we were in the market we
thought it wise to anticipate our needs
a few years in advance. We hope to
nave our new press installed within
the next four weeks, and shall be very
glad for our friends and the public at
large to call and see it.

GREATLY ENJOYED.

We're present, there being fairly
eood audience present, composed OF
the leading doctors Of the town and
county, together with men from other
walks Of life and quite a number of
ladies'
DR.. Mccormick, being introduced by
DR.. Porter, said he intended to talk in
a plain and practical way of the Duty
Of the Medical Profession to the Pub
lic' and, vice versa, the duty of the
public to the profession. He promised
10 tell the general public some things
they did not know but ought to know;
and he did.
He ridiculed the jealousies and
back-biting among doctors He said
they were IToyerblal for it the world
oyer that they were more given to
it, perhaps, than any other profession
or body Of men; and that because of
this they had brought themselves, col
lectiyely, and their profession into
general disrepute. If not generally
SO, it was at least too often true, that
man thought well of his own family
physician; and was taught by that
same family physician, to look with
suspicion and distrust upon all other
physicians in the town. These men,
he said, who were daily, almost hour
~, dependent upon each other for
counsel, help and advice, were too
often estranged. He portrayed the
folly of allthis, and counselled strongly
against it.
En- PEASANT, he paid his respects to
the clergy They had improved in
late years, to some extent, he said,
but still were not as broad-minded,
tolerant, and well informed as they
should be. They were too much
given to receiving charity" practice,
and paying for it by exchange of

when the clergy would demand and
receive better pay for their talent and |
work, and by refusing such treatment
place themselves upon a plane more
n keeping with their high calling.
DR.. Mccormick also paid his re-
'pects to the press. He had heard it
laid, and in many instances it was
doubtless true, that the pulse beat of
he counting room controlled the heart
hrob OF the paper. Patent medicine
read that the paper should
lot favor any law or express any SEN
iments contrary to patent medicine
interests. But while this was true

medicines, lake doctors, etc, in gen
eral, and Peruna, Hostetter Bitters,
Eliza Pinkham, Wine of Cardui and
others in particular. Some of these
so-called medicines, he said, had been
forbidden by the Federal government
to be sold to the Indians; and any
thing too bad for Indians was not
good enough for white folks. The
Woman's Christian Temperance peo-
pie, he said, were very solicitous about
beer drinkers, while some of the good
sisters themselves were swigging
these patent medicine cocktails, any
one of which contained more alcohol
than was contained in beer, some of
them having twice or three times as
much. All of this, or most of it,
came from ignorance. The people did
not know these things; the. Doctors
ought to tell them.
Speaking of diseases he said ty-
phoid fever, yellow fever, scarlet
fever, dyphtheria, smallpox and con-
sumption were all preyentable di-
seases. You can no more have one of
these diseases, the speaker said, with
out drinking or breathing or in some
way taking the germ into your sys
TEN, than you can raise corn without
the seed. They are preventable
diseases. The doctors know this,
and would prevent them if the people
would let them; and the people would,
let them if they had more confidence
in the doctors, and knew more about
these things than they do.
The conclusion of the whole matter
is, he said, that the profession ought
to get together themselves and hold
institutes at least once a week; and
the doctors who can should give lee
tures-a sort of postgraduate course
Ito their less fortunate brothers. |
And doctors who will not attend these |
lectures, who will not read and study |
and keep abreast with the age and |
new methods of scientific practice |
ought not to nave any practice If
your family physician is such an one,
get rid of him, he said. He will do
YOU and your family more harm than
good The day of the ignorant,
slovenly, whiskey drinking, swearing
doctors is about gone. the people will
lot tolerate him much longer
The doctors should not only meet
o help their brethren and each other;
out they should study and devise
places for protecting the public
against preventable diseases. And
hen the peoplc;-the clergy, the law
yers, the press, the business men,
should help them to inaugurate and
larry out these health reforms.
The foregoing is an imperfect sy-
lopsis of strong and very interest
ng address. cut Of which it is hoped
hat better understanding between
lie profession and the laity may grow
p, and much GOOD will result.

Col. H. G. Evans, candidate for
Trustee OF Maury county called at the
Herald Office today and asked to see
those "Clarksyille resolutions" about
which he had heard so much talk.
He said he had been so busy can
vassing that he had not heretofore
had an opportunity of reading them.
He was shown the resolutions and
after readig them, said they had his
heartiest endorsement and that the
Herald was authorized to attach his
signature. Who will be the next? The
people are wondering and asking why
some of the candidates are baking on
these resolutions.

by the committee and not attempt to
pollute the primary by any use OF
whiskey or money. 1t is not enough
for a man to say he has no money,
and everybody knows he cannot buy
because he has nothing to buy with.
Many a man who had no money has
pooled strength with men who had,
and paid back the dirty bride money
after he was elected. If a candidate
means to be clean in his methods what
possible objection can he have to say
ing SO over his own signature in public
print.

EoR A CLEAN PRIMARY.

Mr.. A. ]. Nichols, candidate before
the Democratic primary for Circuit
Court Clerk, is the first Of all the can
didates to express his willingness to
sign the resolu. ion published in
Thursdays Herald, pledging himself,
his managers ana friends, to a strict
u clean, anti-boodler campaign.
Whogwill be the next?
Mr.. Nichols is a near neighbor Of
the Herald, and gets his paper among
the first after it is on the streets.
Thursdays paper mad not been sent
out thirty minutes before Mr. Nichols
came to the Herald Office, with Her
aid in ais hand, and said to the editor
of the Herald, Il want to endorse that
editorial, and that resolution, every
word of it, and l am ready to sign u
right here and now"
Suppose none of the other candi-
dates sign it," he was asked.
THAT has nothing to do with me, )"
he replied. THAT resolution expresses
my sentiments. That is the way
think the campaign and the election
should be conducted. Whatever 9th
ers may do that is the way propose
to conduct my campaign, and l am
willing to sign any resolution or
agreement embodying those prin-
pies"
Who will be the next?
The resolution, which is a copy of
an agreement entered into by the can
didates in Montgomery county, we
think will bear repetition, and reads
as follows:
we the undersigned candidates
for various offices in the gift of the
voters of Montgomery, County, Tenn,
recognizing the vile and shame
tul misuse of money and other means
in corrupting the ballot for the past
several campaigns, and further recog-
nizing the BUSINESS Of a primary cleo
tion and the end it seeks to achieve,
do pledge ourselves to use every hon
orable means in our power to purify
and make sacred the right to exercise
citizenship by ballot: that we will not
use money or other means to pur-
chase single vote or hire anyone to
lobby or work for Us IN the various
districts before or on election day,
and that we will net prostitute, de-
bauch our fellow-men BY the treating
practice il Offering them spirituous
Or yinous liquors while soliciting
their vote and friendly influence; that

merits. On Feb % next we will go to !

as any other citizen and await the de-
cision of an honest bollot of our fell
bowman and abide by their verdict"

be rather backward about coming for
ward to sign the anti-bopdle .Eesolu-

right to ask them why And what

give it to the public. The Executive
Committee have pledged the people

told because the Herald Is insisting
on clean primary and on the candi-

claring for a clean primary 1t is no
new thing for some people not to like
what the Herald says They don't haze
to. And we have long since given
them our most cordial consent not to.
All the same the Herald is for clean
election. Not in the interest of any
candidate, except clean candidate
Not against any candidate except an
immoral, unclean candidate. We are
not fighting the battles of candidates.
We are fighting the battle Of clean

preaching this Just the same. And
