In the last presidential election
Pierce county cast for president A.
246 votes, 1892 of which were cast
for the Republican presidential ell
ectors. At the primaries the 4th
instant the highest number of votes
recorded was for the Office of sheriff,
the seven candidates receiving in
the aggregate ISIS, Robson receiv-
ing the highest number, 1888. less
than one-third of the votes cast.
For county treasurer 1874 votes
were cast, T. Tobias receiving GIL,
little over one-fourth of the num-
Der cast for that office.
Ernest Bradford Smith, son of
Jabez B. Smith, formerly of this
place, later of Hudson where he
was in partnership with Attorney
H. C. Baker, AND now of Madison,
has changed his name, making his
middle name, Bradford, the last,
and the last name, Smith, the mid
die one-Ernest Smith Bradford.
His mothers name was Bradford
and she is a sister of S. ]. Bradford
of Hudson. The young man is as
sistant professor of political econo-
my in the University of Pennsylva-
MIA. He was recently married. His
change of name from Smith to Brad
ford is compliment to his mother,
who is quite literary woman and
prominent as lecturer on temper
ance,
President Roosevelt, in recommend
ing that few words be curtailed
of superfuous letter or so, has
given the newspapers something to
talk about, although, as the Presi-
dent says, it is a very small affair.
Of the 800 words recommended by
the Board of Simpliied Spelling TO
be simplified in spelling, which the
President suggests to the Public
Printer might be abbreviated with
out great inconvenience, it is shown
that Isl are generally spelled ac-
cording to the suggestion of the
Board. In America the u" is now
left out of such words as honour,
colour, labour, etc. The dipthongs
Hs and G are seldom used. Words
that formerly ended in re now end
in err. Jail is never spelled gaol
and judgment is spelled as written
here. Of the 143 of the 800 that the
Board wish simplifed contrary to
the dictionary spelling, some of the
changes seem judicious while 9th
ers do not appeal to us as warrant
ed for any good reason. The past
tense of certain verbs is formed by
adding d or ed. The Board wants
this d or ed changed to t, as kiss,
kisst. Why prolong the smack to
include the double 81 Wouldn't it
be simpler-and just as good-to
spell it kist?

Rules of Health.

Don't worry. Laugh at yourself:
look for funny things. Eat good, nour-
fishing food regularly three times a
day, and between meals drink glass
of cream. Drink plenty of good, pure
water. Take all the rest you can, II
possible an hours sleep each after
noon. Be in the open air all you can
without exercising too much. Massag-
ing every night with cocoa butter will
help considerably. Above all, do not
be respondent. Get busy. Interest
yourself in people and things, not In
quisitively, but generously, and life
will be worth living us your condition
improves.

EMRALMER ARRESTED.

Negro Undertaken Did Not Have q , state License.
 Probably the first arrest made in Montgomery on charge of embalming without a license was the arrest yes terday afternoon of Nj. S. Finney. a negro, who has been engaged in em- balming work for local negro un- dertaking establishment.
 The warrant for the arrest of Fin ley was sworn out by T. F. Leak. Jr., a member of the State Board of Elm balmers. This board Is composed of five members and a person desiring to engage in the embalming business, must have been duly examined and licensed by one of these members be- fore he can proceed with his work. In the warrant. MT. Leak alleges that the negro has been practioing the art of embalming without license.
 MT. Leak is trying to put stop to the business of embalming without a license. He believes that it Is his duty. as a member of the embalming board, to ascertain the names of the violators of the embalming law and have them brought before the proper authorities. This. he thinks. will have a good ef- feet in stopping the unlicensed busi- ness.
 Finney was taken before Justice B. C. Young where he made a bond of $50. His hearing is set for Saturday at noon

plan being worked up by the pro motors of the big State Fair which IS to be held by the Alabama Agrtcul- tural Association in Montgomery, oo- tober 22 to 27. is that of having sepa- rate buildings erected by a number of the leading business firms or the city for private exhibits.
 This plan, which has only been started within the last few days, Is said to be regarded fagorably by most of the larger firms doing wholesale business with out-of-towp trade. and it is probable that in addition to the general exhibition buildings, there will be at least sx or eight buildings cree ted by private firms for their own in dividual exhibits.
 The idea, it is thought, will be fav- ored to a great extent by the northern firms and business houses which have branches or agencies in Montgomery Some days ago one of these firms ap- piled to President W. r. Vandiver Tor nernission to erect a building for Its own exhibit. This will doubtless De granted. and the idea of individuat buildings for those firms which desire them will be furthered as much as possible - Another inspection of certain pieces of ground which have been offered 10 the Association as sizes for the Far 1 Grounds. was made by President Van diver and number of the committee i on location yesterday afternoon.

Sugar Mems Petition.

Berlin, March 19.-The Society of the German Sugar Industry has sent to the Government and the Reichstag q poti- tion asking that in the forthcoming negotiations of q treaty of commerce with the United States, provision be made to place German sugar on an equality with cane sugar in the Amerl- can market. The petitioners say the existing provisional arrangement means that cane sugar, and especially the Cu- ban product. continues to be treated more favorahIy than German sugar which Is contrary to ihe treaty ana tha' all protestations against Anerica breach of treaty have proved fruitless Nine years ago. the petitioners say Germany's sugar exports occupied first place fin value but the total exports have now sunk to 50 per cent.

A NEW MARKET FOR SOUTHERN MERCH NsFS.

The full-page advertisement we car ried recently. setting forth the supe- rior advantages which Charleston. &. C., offers all merchants as a market, makes new and vital departure in the country's business. Heretofore the Northern cities really did offer the Southern merchant greater facilities and opportunities than were to be had anywhere else in the United States. but now the conditions are more than reversed. The same high grade of goods which has been imported to New York and other cities is now lnl- ported direct to Charleston, just as cheap, just as good and in just as great variety It also relieves buyers of the necessity of making long. expen- sive trips to the extreme northern marts, and likewise saves the inciden- tai freightage.
 Furthermore the patronage of home industry always appeals to ones sense of loyalty, and should be especially ap- pealing in the case of Charleston. when 1t appeals so strongly to ones good sense of judgment. Their business men are motel for unselfish hospItali- ty and for honorable dealing, and con sidered all in all we heartily recom- mend the advantages of that favored city as set forth in their advertisement recently carried in these columns.
