The president of one of the we'll
known colleges tells this story of one
OF his professors OF chemistry
IL seems that the professor and
his wife had not agreed upon some
domestic question, the professor as
sorting that his means would not
warrant the expense involved. His
wife had used her powers of per-
suaslon without avail. and at last
resorted to the final feminine expe-
dient--a flood OF tears. AZ this the
professor picked up his hat. but
paused to remark:
You might save yourself the
trouble of that. my dear: your tears
have absolutely no effect upon me.
Why should they, being nothing but
common water with small per-
centage of phosphorus salts and a
trace of chloride Of sodium?"-Har-

lives, liberty, character, and
property. AT all times the
safeguard OF the peoples
rights is in an upright and
'onest judiciary; their great
ct peril and danger to life,
liberty and property is in a
corrupt, subservient, cow
ardly and venal judiciary.
The Judiciary is the bulwark
OF our civil liberty, and no
greater calamity could be-
fall a people than to have
either a corrupt, subservient
Judiciary, or an inefficient
judge.
Your committee presents
to the voters of this Judicial
District a young man who is
absolutely clean in all re-
spects; of the highest char
acter as a Chrictian and gen.
tleman, and a lawyer of
good ability, worthy of the
support of every honest, in
telligent, upright, thought
full freeman in the Distrist,
"a man who at all times,
and under all circumstances,
will discharge faithfully,
impartially and without ia
voritism, his duties as Judge
to all men, of all colors,
classes and tongues, without
fear, favor or affection.
Without disparagement,
or criticism of anyone, if
such should even be just, we
most earnestly commend Mr..
French to the voters Of this
District, and most cordially
and earnestly invite all of
the voters Of said District,
without regard to past party
affiliations, or environments,
to rally to his support. We
have the man, but no money,
and place him before our
people with confidence that
he should win upon his mer-
it's, and if he does, you will
have a brave, upright, hon
est, incorruptible Judge.

TO THE VOTERS
Of the Eighth Judicial Cir
cult of West Virginia,
COMPOSED OF THE COUNTIES OF
MONROE, MERCER AND
MCDOWELL.

This is to make known to
you that Mr.. ID. s.. French,
OF Bluetield, Mercer county,
has been nominated for the
Office of Judge of the Eighth
Judicial Circuit OF West Vir-
glnia by a committee Of the
democratic party, to whom
was delegated the authority
by the SAID party in meeting
assembled, to name a candi-
date for said Office to be vo-
ted for at the election to be
held in said Judicial District
on the 9th day of November,
1906, for the election of Of
ficers, among others that of
a Judge of the Circuit Court
for said district.
In presenting the name of
Mr.. French, your committee
will state that he only
agreed to accept the nominal
ton at the earnest solicita-
ton of many voters of both
political parties,-he deem
ing it as a non-political
office.
There is no office within
the gift of the people of such
vital interest to them as that
of Circuit Judge. 1t is in re-
atty and truthfully a non
political Office, and should be
so treated and held by the
people; for the Judge of a
Circuit Court is the arbiter
between all the people with
out regard to political or 9th
er kindred questions. He,
as such Judge, is clothed
with the authority to pass
upon the dearest and most
sacred rights of a people,
who intrust to him their

A Farmers Just Complaint.

While Dawson gives the farmers one OF the best
markets in the whole state in which to sell their pro-
duce and buy their goods the city not dong all that
# should do for them A prominent farmer VINO does
GREAT deal of business in Dawson has called the at
tention of THE News to one thing the town mas long
neglected, and we are compelled to admit that his
oonnIqint is Just 1t is that there are no puoc
drinking paces-not a single one-in Dawson for the
farmers stock The farmers drive their stock to the
civ and while they selling their cotton and buy
mo GOODS of our merchants their mules and horses are
compelled to stand hitched in the sun for hours,
sometimes all day, without water
This is not as it should be- and the mere calling OF
attention to it ought be sufficient to cause the RENE
DIV to be Immediately forthcoming The farmers are
necessary to the growth and prosperity of Dawson
This would be mighty poor town without them ana
providing such small but necessary things for their
convenience and the well-beng of their stock as our
friend has called this papers attention to would be as
little as we could do show appreciation OF them
and their business.
Mavor Mercer and his council should take up this
matter at their next meeting.

Turning Southwark.

There are many indications that the population OF
the southern states will increase much more rapidly
during the next few years than ever before. The de-
o1o,ant of southern industries is not only drawing
immigration from the northern states and from Eu-
rope but it is also drawing southern labor from the
farms and plantations to the towns and the conse-
oence is that there is at present active demand in
this section for labor of all kinds including farm labor
The flow of population into the south has already
been large but it will be still larger when the advant
ages offered here are better understood One OF the
nrincpa of these advantages is the mild and healthy
climate that prevails in almost every locality IN the
south The summers little if any warmer than IN
the northern states and the winters are not nearly so
severe For instance the records OF the United States
weather bureau show that the mean summer tempera-
ture at Atlanta is about the as that at Washing
ton and little higher than Mt New York, while the
winters are much warmer This means great saving
in every household for fuel and clothing and the same
weekly wage will support a family much better in the
south than it will in the north New England cotton
" owners are aware of this and other advantages Of
fered bv the SOUTH and realize that if they are to hold
their skilled labor they must pay higher wages IMAM
the southern mills The Massachusetts, bureau of sta
tstcs has noted the superior advantages of the SOUTH
and in it's last annual report said: When the Euro
pean immigrant finds what excellent opportunities eX-
st for him in the south the tide OF immigration Will
undoubtedly turn in that direction.
Increased population Of course means greater pros
nerv not ONLY for the manufacturing establishments
that secure needed labor but also for the farmers who
secure an enlarged home market for their products.
This in turn calls for more farm labor, the supplying
of which is one of the most difficult problems with
which the south is confronted 1t is not probable that
farm labor can be drawn very largely from northern
states, and Europe must be looked to- Heretofore the
north and northwest have attracted most OF the agr
cultural immigration from Germany and Scandinavia
but some of these immigrants are beginning to TURF
southwark. In some southern localities agricultural
immigrants from the north of Italy have settled IN con
siderable numbers, and have proven to be very Ell
cient workers in the cotton fields. They much su
rerior to the south of Italy immigrants who have set
tied so largely in American cities, and some students
of the problem of the future labor supply for the cot
ton fields believe that it will be solved by the north
Italy immigrants

Mr. Fee, the United States consul at Bombay, gives
in his report interesting facts in regard to the
development and growth of the cotton industry in
India.
The first mill was built fifty years ago. There are
now one hundred and ninetyseven mills and fifteen
or twenty more are under construction with over five
million spndles employing two hundred thousand OPP
eratives and consuming one and three-quarter mil
lion bales of cotton. They produce nearly six hundred
million pounds of yarn, half of which is exported to
China and other foreign countries The dark side of
the ncture is the condition of the mill hands and their
wages The working hours in most Of the mills are
from sunrise to sunset and there is growing tenden-
CIV among some of the mill owners to proong the hours
of labor bv the installation of electric lights In these
mills the same set of hands work from five in the
morning till eight at night, with only half an hour for
rest The hands are paid by the piece, and the aver
age weaver says Mr. Fee, working thirteen hours
per dav for twentysix days in the month would earn
less than eight dollars and half
These are things for the people of the south, who
have always furnished the world with its cotton sup
ply to think about.

SPREAD OF INSECT PESTS EXPLAINED

From the Americas Times Recorder.
An observant planter in Americus
yesterday gave it as his opinion that
the spread of cotton weevils and other
destructive insects is the result OF the
wholesale slaughter of birds of every
species. Before the day of the deadly
pump gun and breech-loader birds
were very numerous and devOured the
insects. Now everything that wears a
feather is killed without mercy in
season and out, and the spread of in
sect pests is the result.
