he has tried to commit suicide by hanging
but was found in each instance in time to
save his life.

The story that comes from a neigh

that plenty of hard work (Which can

And if the democrats and independents
unite on strong county ticket next
week Friday the machinists may find
out numerous other interesting facts
about the political situation in this end
of the state. The republican leaders
are beginning to realize that their
bluff about a landslide in favor of the
straight ticket is wearing pretty thin.
This county has plenty of men in
whom the welfare of the state stands
ahead of the spirit of political partisan
ship. These men will vote for the can
didates whose qualifications best fit
them TO advance this welfare, regard
less of the label at the head of the
ticket on which their names appear

never cherished or manifested
any hatred for him, and has
not attacked the private rec

The amir of Afghanistan has issued a
notable pronouncement on the subject OF
education in his domains He says educa-
tion is retrogressing, but the fault does not
rest with the teachers, but with the gov
eminent, who discourage education, dread

warns the high born officials that they must
either change their attitude in this connee'
ton or be changed. Henceforth, he says,
education will be sole path to state service.
