CANDIDATES SPEAR AT RALEIGH

CANDIDATES SPEAR AT RALEIGH
Raleigh, Miss, OF. 15.-Three
candidates for governor, Messrs. Truly,
Brewer and Sisson spoke here today
in the order named.
The first speech was made by Judge
jeff Truly, who spoke for about two
hours. His speech was undoubtedly
one OF the greatest speeches ever de-
livered in this county. He spoke in
q plain, intelligent way and carried
conviction to the hearts Of his hearers
At the conclusion Of his speech he was
warmly greeted by the great crowd
present, aud assurances Of support in
his gubanatorial race came from all
quarters.
The next speaker, Hon. Earl Brew
er. made a splendid speech and q good
impression. He reviewed at length
the controversy between himself and
Mr.. Scott; and at the conclusion of
his speech all who heard him were
satisfied that the election Of Mr.. Scott
would be better for the railroads of
the state than it would be for the in
terests Of the people.
Next came Mr.. Sisson, who advo-
Gated his claims for governorship with
great force and vigor.
The general impression here at the
close OF the speaking is that Judge
Truly will get large majority in
this county.

A plan for drawing trade to town
that has been successfully worked at
several points might be adopted to an
advantage in Brandon. The plan il
as follows: An agreement was reached
between all the merchants whereby
they offered special sales on certain
days, each merchant selecting some
special line Of goods upon which be
made lower price than usual. Thus
one dry goods house would sell gloves
at 8 special price, while another
would offer bargains in dress goods.

FAVOR A NEW
COURT HOUSE
PRESENT ANTIQUATED BUILDING
MAY BE REPLACED BY $780,
600 STRUCTURE.

Several years ago, James Fergus.
in writing to the Argus. favored the
erection of a new county court house
here. Mr.. Fergus was not the first
to favor such step, but he was rec
OgniZed as an able business man, and
one who was extremely conservative
in regard to the expenditure of public
money. Since that time, 1899, a strong
sentiment has grown up all over the
county in favor of the plan, and there
appears to be no opposition to it in
any quarter. So strong has this SEN
timent become that it is proposed to
submit to the taxpayers next fall a
plan for issuing bonds to the amount
of 100000, the money to be used in
erecting a court house that will meet
all needs, and at the same time be a
credit to the county. The discussion
of the matter has SO far been infor-
NAL, and nothing has been done to-
ward putting the matter in definite
shape, but it seems very likely that
this will shortly be done.
An Anticipated Building.
The present three story barn-like
structure is antiquated, and although
it has been repaired and to some ex-
tent remodeled, is very inconvenient.
Furthermore, it has become extremely
rickety in the course of years, and in
addition to being unsafe, is very far
from meeting the requirements. The
splendid site owned by the county
could not be improved upon, and no
expenditure would be required for that
purpose. The county is in as good
shape, financially, as any county in
the state, and will, perhaps. never be
better able to undertake this improve
ment than during the course of the
next year or two.
outside People Favor It.
It is not the Lewistown people alone
who favor it. The men who come in
from all parts of the county on jury
service or other business that takes
them to the county court house, seem
to be unanimously in favor of new
building, and under these conditions
it certainly looks as though this much
needed improvement will not be lone
deferred.

POWER OF THE IMAGINATION.
Many Suffer from MaIadies Which TX

Medical papers have just been tell
ing us Of still more wonderful cures
of non-existent maladies. Burke al
ways fancied that he had something
in his throat and was held by some
to have shortened his days by the
drastic treatment to which he sub
mitted himself for his imaginary OBJ
Struction.

porters bitten by serpent, should
find the man writhing in agony and

ing? The man must have his way,
he really appeared poisoned. With
Spartan courage he hacked off his
hand with a knife, and though he
lacked antiseptics, straightway recov-
cred.
When the caravan came across a
doctor the hero showed to the
latter his mutilated stump and the
serpent which had bitten him. The
doctor applauded the courage and wis
dom of the man, but contided to the
latter's master that the mutilation
need not have been undergone-the
snake was harmless. Imagination had
made the native believe himself al.

ENGLAND's REDUCED WINE BILL
Big Restaurant Company Finds Tea
Is Hurting Its Profits.

The remarkable extent to which tea
is taking the place of wine in Eng
land was indicated at the lamentful
annual meeting of great London
company, Spiers & Pond, limited,
which operates stores, hotels, restau'
rants, places of amusement, etc.
The bad showing for the year was
explained by the steady falling off in
the consumption of alcoholic drinks.
In 20 years, while the population of
the country has increased by 10000
900, the consumption of wine and spir-
its has fallen off by $55,OOO,OO0, and
the consumption of beer in proper
ton.
At one restaurant in single even
ing only single bottle Of champagne
was ordered, while few years ago
Is or 80 would have been required.
The golden stream of profits, it was
lugubriously said, now flows from the
teapot rather than the wine bottle.
The railway restaurants have special.
ly suffered.
