and the difficulty we are under is that
Columbia is as innocent of a
press machinist as baby is
of worry or care, hate or NAL
ice. The Herald force, and such
other help as we could get here have
been trying to probe the matter, and
we have been trying to get press
man out from Nashville; but they
seem to have troubles of their own
there, as we cannot get the promise
of one before Monday The Herald
is also negotiating for the purchase
of another press SO as to have q
duplicate press to cover such emer-
gencies as this.
OF one tnIus -. 1888 may be
sure. The Herald Company is pre-
pairing to issue them better paper
cleaner, clearer and newsier-than
has ever been issued in Columbia
With this end in view we installed
the great Linotype machine, which
alone costs twice as much as the
average country newspaper plant.
Pursuing this same purpose we gave
an order today for another press to
give US faster and cleaner press
work, and to this we added quite a
little bill for ad display and heodlins
type.
We are getting ready, slowly per
haps but surely, to give Columbia a
Daily paper Columbia will be proud
of; and until Columbia is satisfied
with the Herald, both in newsmatter
and appearance, we will not be.

FOR A PURE PRIMARY.

All the candidates for Office in
Montgomery County, says a Clarks-
vile special, who are asking for the
nomination at the Democratic pri-
mary to be held in that county on
February %, have signed the follow
ing pledge:
I'VE the undersigned candidates
for various offices in the gift of the
voters of Montgomery, County, Tenn,
recognizing the vile and shame
full misuse of money and other means
in corrupting the ballot for the past
several campaigns, and further recog-
nizing the business of a primary cleo
ton and the end it seeks to achieve,
do pledge ourselves to use every hon
orable means in our power to purify
and make sacred the right to exercise
citizenship by ballot; that we will not
use money or other means to pur-
chase a single vote or hire anyone to
lobby or work for us in the various
districts before or on election day,
and that we will not prostitute, de-
bauch our fellow-men by the treating
practice in offering them spirituous
or vinous liquors while soliciting
their vote and friendly influence that
we will go before the public on our
merits. On Feb % next we will go to
our polling places and cast our vote
as any other citizen and await the de-
cision Of an honest bollot of our fell
lowman and abide by their verdict
That sounds like business. 1t has
the right ring to it. And it comes
from the right source. I'VE the un-
dersigned candidates do pledge our
selves etc. They are the ones to do
the pledging. for they are not only
the bene1ciaries, but they can, if
they purpose in their hearts to do so,
have a clean election. True, they
work through others, and others may
do some things of which the candi-
dates have no direct knowledge; but
these campaign managers will not do
that, if the candidates themselves set
their faces firm against it, 1t may re-
quire some courage; it is a strong
temptation sometimes to fight the
devil with fire. But that temptation
to fight the devil with fire should not
be so overpowering in this election:

clared their purpose to unhorse

dates who purchase votes or resort
to other corrupting methods.
Accompanying that, an agreement
like the above, signed by all the can
didates, would give to this county, we
believe, an honest, fair, clean cleo
ton, for the first time in its history.
The Herald will be very glad to
publish without charge, the names of
any of the candidates who may be
willing to sign this pledge, or a SIM
liar one If some of the candidates
would sign it, doubtless al of them
would. If some of them did and some
Of them did not, then the good people
of the good county of Maury would
know how and where to draw the
lines between the boodlers and the
anti-boodlers.
There is a universal demand for a

do their level best to hold one, and all
the candidates should commit them
selves and their managers, to this
much needed reform.

TO EXTEND THE 500.

The st. Paul, Minneapolis G Sault
Ste. Marie Railroad (the Soo) will
this year build from Duluth west, 200
miles, to connect with it's main line
to the wheat fields of the Dakotas and
Western Canada. This is regarded as
the most important move this road
has made for years, for it gains an
outlet at the head of Lake Superior,
and places itself on par with the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
in competing for this traffic.

ST. LOUIS LIVE STOCK MARKET
Reported By Evans -Snider-BueI c o
Live Stock Commission Agent.

Special to the News National Stock,
Yards, ILL.,, Apr. 1Sth.-The cattle trade.
this week has developed into dull
lifeless condition that is hard to des-
cribe and the Indifference displayed by
the buyers can only be realized by those
having cattle OH sale. The eastern de-
mand is practically eliminated the 10
cal buyers, both packers and butchers
wanted very limited number at great
ly reduced values. Most of the beef
steers changed hands slowly at prices
fully 2j cents lower than a week ago.
Receipts were pretty heavy at other
markets aud while we had only mod
crate supply it took the whole day to
dispose OF them. The clearance is poor
each day with a good many bids flatly
refused.
The same condition prevails in the
butcher cattle trade as on beef steer s
and prices on COW and heifer stuff is at
the low point for several weeks past.
Some extra good handy weight heifers
sold for s. 6j with the bulk of the good
700 to 900 ID. steers and heifers at round
$3.50. Fair to good Gamers and cutters
s. 15 to $500.
The trade in the stocker ard feeder
division is so light that it is useless to
make quotations.
The hog market has made its usual
advance. Receipts havebeen light and
prices are now at the high point for
three years past an extreme top of sos
having been reached, with the bulk of
the good hogs selling from SO 90 to
1910. Most of the weights below 150
lbs sold from $500 to So 90 with best
pigs at s. so. The demand is good at
these prices and hogs should continue
to sell satisfactorily for some time to
come
The sheep market continues good and
fully three times the number received
could be handled to advantage. Good
native sheep are selling around IS IS
and spring lambs s.. 50 to $3.50.

ton may be had from

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful,
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or

some arrangement of the female or
ganism.
