road has been assumed by him to have been advanced by the roads to any po- sltion of influence he may have attain ed.
 It would be supposed that MT. Conner posing in thls way would be the very last man In the State to make use oc the railroads to further his political interests. Could 1t be believed that he would use a railroad In any way to make votes, or that he could tol- crate the support of railroad repre- sentatives? Would not his stomach turn at the very thought?
 For years it has been customary for the roads to tender special facilities to the Commission to inspect their lines. Railroad officials have used their private cars and stocked them with everything good to eat and drink, and have gone along as hosts. When Mir. Conner was running for Commis- sioner he frequently held up these in spections to ridicule as junketing ex- petitions. and excited the prejudices of the people with his sneers at the Commissioners who accepted such courtesles.
 In spite of all this. 1t is clear that Mr. Conner has made bolder use of the railroads to further his political ambi- ton than any man in Alabama poli- tics for years. For weeks past he has been busy making the inspections he was so neglectful of last year. when he was not a declared candidate for Governor. Not content with the use of the mere passes, provided by the law for the use of the Commissioners l "ln the performance of their duties"

WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS,
Doan's Kidney pills Have Done
Great Service for People Who
Work In Leon.

Most Leon people work every day in
some strained, unnatural position
bending constantly over desk riding
on jolting wagons or cars doing labor
ious housework; lifting, reaching or
pulling, or trying the back in hundred
and one other ways. All these strains
tend to wear, weaken and injure the
kidneys unit they fall behind in their
work of tiltering the poisons from the
blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys, put new strength in bad backs.
Leon cures prove it.
Mrs. r. S. Conkle, living in the east
part of town says: wears ago lived
on farm before moving to Leon where
/ did my share Of the work and probably
at some time strained my back; be that
as it may, since then l have had attacks
of dull aching across the loins particu-
larly evident after hard days work.
l knew from the action and condition
of the kidney secretions that my
annoyed in this way | went to Van
Pills. AS a result of the treatment my
back was better and stronger than it
was prior to my acquaintance with
Doan's Kidney Pills. To show my faith
in the remedy have recommended them
to more than one friend and acquaint-
ance."

Accident At Lamont.

Last Friday, Just at noon, as Nathan
Weedmark was choring about the barn,
he received injuries from which it is
quite possible he may never recover.
lie had just set his fork down and turn
ed and put his hand on his family horse
without speaking. The horse is one of
which he is very fond and to which he
has been giving the best Of care. He
was in the habit Of blanketing the horse
with stable blanket that goes up over
the neck and head, only leaving peep
holes for the eyes, and it is thought that
the horse could not see him plainly.
This and the further fact that Mr..
Weedmark had white shirt on instead
of the usual dark one, served to brighten
the animal. At any rate the horse be-
gan kicking and stamping. The first
kick caught him on the right thigh
tearing the clothing away and cutting
an ugly cash eight or ten inches in
length and throwing him down. Once
down he was at the mercy of the newly
shod honfs. His body is a mass of cuts
and bruises from head to foot, his back
being especially bruised and lacerated
One blow on the side practically pulver.
lied four ribs over place the size of a
hoof.
Mrs. Weedmark heard the noise and
and at first she thought it was at
the livery barn near by, but on going
out found where the trouble was and by
few words succeeded in quoting the
excited horse. Help was called and the
unfortunate man carried to the house,
where DR.. Golf did all possible to make
him comfortable.

Trueness to type and breeding


This score card is arranged for a
number of ears of corn, ten being the
usual number entered as a prize. On
the first requirement of trueness to
type, it is required that the ears be
similar in every respect, and any failure
means one or more points Otf,and as to
color the grain must be uniform and
true to the type, and the yellow corn
must be on red cobs, and white corn on
white cobs. The market condition APP
plies to the tirmness and soundness of
the corn on the cob, it's freedom from
mould and injury from insects and the
like. The tips must not be to tapering,
and should be we'll filled and regular,
and on the butts the kernels should ex-
tend we'll over the BUTTS leaving deep
depression when the shank is removed
The kernels should be of uniform shape
and size and should touch on the cob
from tip to crown. In the northern
section of the state the standard length
of an ear is 81 to 81 inches, in the
central 81 to 81, and in southern Iowa
8 to 10. The circumference of the cal
two-thirds of the way up from the butt
should be, in the northern section g. tc
Z inches, central 81 to Il, southern tc
12aa. The proportion of corn should be
SO to 81 per cent. A red cob in white
corn or a white cob in yellow corr
should be cut five points; for one or two
mixed kernels cut Of one-half point
kernels missing from the ear are count
ed as mixed. Difference in shade O

HOW THEY JUDGE CORN.
Points That Make One Ear Better
Than Another Are Set Forth

Corn will be one of the topics most
discussed at the meeting of the State
Agricultural Society, which will be
held at the state house in December.
The points that make one ear better
than another will be discussed. Tho
Iowa is perhaps the greatest corn state
in the union, and corn is the greatest
staple of Iowa, it is perhaps true that
very few persons outside of those en-
gagged in the study of corn know the
methods of Judging ears. 1t is not the
largest ear always that is the best, as
people believe. The methods of judg-
ing corn at the Iowa state fair, which
will be the methods used at the meet
ing Of the state society in Judging the
corn offered then, are to rate perfect
ear of corn at 100 per cent, and for any
defect to subtract. On this basis the
score of a perfect ear of corn would
be as follows:
