the extent, at least, of her vote, for a

band was not troubled with too much

Albany county this year is a direct
thrust at the present excellent policy
of republicanism and will tend to re
tard further progress in that direction.
1t is just as essential to have republi-
cans in the city and county offices as it
is in state and nation. and that lady
can best show her faith in the condi-
lions that bring peace and plenty to
her home by voting only for republi-

WHEN WHEELS STOOL STILL.

is difficult to refrain from reprinting
all of it. The following, under the sub.

The Republican deems it the part OF
wisdom to copy it, commencing it to

would vote to return to the Cleveland
condition of things:

a continental ruin of commercial in

In four short years and amidst the

Under the administration of Grov,

palsied and every wheel of industrial
activity stood still. The only time that
the wheels of industry ever turned in
connection with the career of Grover
Cleveland was when he met political
death at the polls under an avalanche

But, sir, the future political his.

Whose Say-so is Best?

With nearly all medicines put up for
sale through druggists, one has to take
the makers say-so alone as to their cura-
tive value. Of course, such testimony is
not that of a disintereSted party and
accordingly is not to be given the same
credit as If written from disintereSted
motives. DR.. Pierce's medicines, how
ever, form a single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to
the confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their makers say so or
praise. Their ingredients are matters of
public knowledge, being printed on each
separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid
sufferers are taken into DR.. Pierce's full
confidence. Scores of leading medical
men have written enough to fill volumes
In praise Of the curative value of the
several ingredients entering into these
well-known medicines.
Amongst these writers we find such med
zeal light as Prof. Finley Ellngwood. NJ. D.,

der. NJ. D.. late Of Cincinnati. Ohio; Prof.

The decision of the government au-
thorities to have the work of digging
the Panama canal done by contract
has caused no surprise in Washington,
where 1t has been well understood for
a long time that such a course would
be adopted. To those who are familiar
with the inside story of developments
at Panama from the beginning, the an
"nouncement has brought a n oil
decided relief. Friends of the canal
who desire to see it completed success.
fully, and within a reasonable time,
feel that the decision carries some
promise of the realization of their
hopes. Opponents of government and
municipal ownership, on the other
hand, are pointing ont the fact that
the government has practically been
forced to have recourse to private en-.
terprise for carrying out this great
constructive undertaking as another
proof of the fact that in this country,
at least, neither a federal nor a mu-
nicipal government a carry on purely
business operations so successfully as
private capital and enterprise.

Chitraus granting an order placing in
the hands Of a receiver the Bank Of
America, comes reports that two other
Chicago banks, both State institutions

COURT WEEK IN MANNING.
Three Negroes Tried for Stealing Cot
ton From a Barn, Only One Con-
yicte6l-Trial of Lee for Abduction.

Manning, February 13.-The flrst
case taken up in the Court Of Sessions
here today was that Of the State vs.
Johnnie Green, Feb Green and Dave
Williams, charged with breaking into
the cotton house Of Mr.. j. ]. Brough-
ton, on the 25th of last November.
and stealing therefrom some 800
pounds of seed cotton. The two
Greens were represented by Messrs.
Woods & o'Bryan and were acquitted;
Williams was found guilty.
The only other case concluded to-
day was that of the State against E..
L. Lee, alias F. Lee Ward. Lee, or
Ward, is white man who came to
this county from Florida last Decem-
Der, for the purpose, ostensibly at
least. OF marrying a Miss Wise, cf this
county, whom he had been cor
responding with for some months
through a medium Of some matrimo-
NAL advertisement. He was enter
tained at the home Of the young lady's
father, and the family was perfectly
willing for the match to take place.
On a visit to Manning, however, Lee
sought to induce the young lady to
marry him at once and go on to Flor
ida that night. This she declined to
do, on the ground that they had prom
ised their father to return home that
night, and his consent had not been
asked to. their marriage that day.
Thereupon Lee proposed marriage to
the 13-year-old sister Of Miss Wise who
had accompanied them to Manning but
could set no one to perform the mar
riage ceremony. He had persuaded
her to accompany him 70 the depot,
promising to marry her aboard the
train, and the two were sitting in the
depot waiting for the train, then over
due, when the matter came to the at
tention of some Of the citizens Of Man
ming, who at once had Lee arrested
and took charge of the little girl until
her; father could arrive. Lee gave a
cash, bond and was released.
He did not appear for trial this
morning, forfeiting his bond and being
tried in his absence. The jury found
verdict Of guilty. Lee is said to be
a man of good appearance, apparently
well supplied with money. He claim
ed to be editor of the Mariana News.
