I believe can be OF great use to the

if 1 misunderstood the temper Of the

VOTERS MUST WATCH OUT.
There Is one more matter upon
which beg to warn bhe people. There
are evidences in plenty to show that
the same Clique or ring which is fight
Ing the dispensary and which has al
ways fought me- intends or hopes to
bring about change in our primary
regulations 50 as to prevent any Dem
ocrat from voting in the primaries
Sho is not at the same time qualifi-
ed voter. They hope to use the club
which has proved so effsctive in the
Brice laR, TIA Of confaing the cleo
ton to qualified electors to obtain
control Of the Democratic party to re-
sumo their sway, undisputed until
1890. I warn the farmer and all other
Democrats, especially operatives, who
are busily engaged aud have little time
to devote to politics, to attend the
next meeting OF the D mocratic clubs,
fourth Saturday in April (2S5h,) and
get their names on the rolls and send
delegates to the next county conVe:--
tions who will represent them. Tne
allies and directors Of the new Colum-
ola ring will be on the alert and carr
all Of their forces to these club meet
ings and unless the people take more
Interest than they did in tae Brtce law
elscticuS, the next state convention
will be controlled by this element and
tie possibilities a;e that the reguia-
lions Of the Democratic primary will
bs changed to suit their purposes. The
alliance men OF 1890 need not be re
minded OF the old anecdote Of the p--
litician who told the farm rs to "plow
on'' he would attend to their public
affI:rs. L,t all Of the peop.e taze an
interest in politics this year, which is
their duty in order to protect them
selves against the schemes Of these
tr!cAsters and all will be well.
I have felt it my dlty to give this
warning and whatever the result /
will bow to popular will without muir
mur. II the people want prohibition,
either the actual article or the hum
bug which ne nov have, I do not OBJ.
j7c: if they want county dispensaries
lnstesd OF state dispeusary, I do not
object; what I d. cbjsct to is that
they shall neglect to inform them
selves and be le7 by the ncse by de-
signing men. When the Democratic
party has spoken authoritatively, I
will bow to the will Of the maj )rity,
out let it be all OF the Dem jcratic
party and not small faction which
claims to represent our best people.

What Constitutes Republican"
A republican writing to the Ch1ca-
20 Inter-Ocean says. After forty.
five years OF active political life I am
compelled to ask WHAT constitutes
republican? 2" The Inter Ocean de-
clares that many republicans are In
the same state Of uncertainty, and
says this Is so because so many rec.
ogn;z:d republican leaders do not seem
positive that ttey stand for anything,
nor to be uncoppromisinglY tor CT

submitted By the Inter Ocean reader
would perhaps be more readily an.
sWered by citing those who have been
read out Of the repubI can party says
The Commoner. Distinguished Iowa
republicans do not regard Governor
Cummings as republican; Cunmins
has insisted upon the destruction Of
the shelter which the trusts find in
the tsr,f, and demands that the pee
pie Of Iowa be granted protection from
corporate iupositiop. LaFollette's
fight along ami monopoly lines is well
understood. and the republican ma
tional convention of 1904 read LaFol-
lette out OF the party and refused to
give his following 2 seat IN that con-
vention. The republicarism OF such
men as L.Folletse and Cuumins has
bsen repeatedly assailed but no cne
has had the tenerity to question the

Thomas G. Platt, Dspew, Aldrjca OF
Elkins. The men WHO stand resolute-
ly for special interest and who never
raise voice against corporate impo-

The men who dare to suggest that the
republican party do somsthing by way

OUTRAGEOUS CONDITION.


It is therefore obvious that the pee
pie must look more to the integrity,
honesty, truthfulness OF the candi.
dates who ask for their vote than to
the mere capacity to speak gllo!y,
and the plausible address OF the oily
politician. The people should bio
fence s'rac d:ers 70 get to the rear;
they should demand ousspoken de-
clarations OF policy and no man who
failed OF his duty in the past should
oe again entrusted with cf5ce. Look
at the present disgraccful and out
rageous condition in Columbia. The
old board Of directors OF
the state dispensary has loaded down
tue state with about 100000 worth
Of liquor, bought on credit, IN open
and Girect violation OF the law. Why
are not these men arrested tor NAL
teassnce in cfio8? Why were they
not removed last sum ner when the
evidence Of gross ncompstencV ana

cIact such men? Why in the face OF
absolute proof in the letting OF glass
contracts and in the purchase OF
ab.ls to say nothing Of the purchase
OF wh!skey tna5 they were guilty Of
gross misconduct, why 1 say did the
legislature refuse to change the law

THEATRE PARTY AND DINNER.

 The following appeared in the Richmond
 Va) Evening Journal in reference to Miss Wakler:
 Rarely have we seen a better and more capitalized cast in Richmond production. times masterly and telling in its power From Miss Charlotte Walker to the mod est and unpretentious Lucy Cress, the characters threw heart and soul into an attempted realization of a generation gone era, and they almost succeeded in the attempt.
 As Constance Pinckney, Miss Walker proved herself an actress of surpassing ability. Her genius was every where evident; 1t showed on the surface, and if you cared to look deeper, you saw the inner meaning of great soul exerting It. self for expression. And her smile-that lingering smile; that sweet. je ne scais quoi, dlmpling of the face--it Is something to rave about something to lay beneath ones pillow and dream on.
 In the third act, when she enters the drawing room of old Pnckney Place. dressed In a wide-hooped skirt and with hair delightfully."- held firm to the side of the head, she is a vision of loveliness Said 1 a young lady in the audience sitting be- 1 hind the critic, 'She has an angels head above an hour-glass balloon" This com mentator spoke more and deeper than she thought.

DISTRICT NURSING,

The subject of District Nursing" among the poor of our city. which Is be- ing furthered by the Graduate Nurses association, conjointly with the United Charities, was forcefully presented by Dr. John w Stagg last week at the min isters conference It is almost superflu- ous to say that this progressive and phil anthropic movement received the heartiest Endorsement from the ministers of all denominations represented.
 In a letter which will be sent each of the ministers this week they will be re- quested to present this matter to their several congregations, and on next Sun day, the 14th of October, ask that the small sum of S25 shall be donated by each church for the years expense The churches which have so far contributed to this benefcent work are the Firs. Methodist church and St Mary 's-on-the- Highlands. The following is a copy of the letter to be issued:
 Birmingham, October 6, 1906.
 Dear Sir--I would appreciate your pre- senting this communication to your con- gregation October 14, 1906:
 The Graduate Nurses association wishes to enlist the interest of the members of your church in the District or Hourly Nursing" which they hope to see estab- lished in Birmingham this fall We be- lieve it will be of untold benefit to the poor of our city, and to the poor of your congregation
 The plan is as follows
 I he Graduate Nurses association" will keep the nurse in the field, secure the services of a competent nurse and pay her salary. to which salary each grad uate nurse has subscribed s5, expecting the citizens Of Birmingham to pay the oistrict nurses board and car fare and to bear the expenses that readily suggest themselves to your minds, incident to nursing in the homes of the poor Ice. milk, broth, be0 linen and oftentimes clothing must be provided.
 The movement is under the auspices of the United Charities. which provides an office and phone arrangements A responsible person with a salary must be secured for this office, to which the dis trict nurse shall report twice daily for orders and supplies.
 It is need dless to emphasize this bene- ficent work. as 1t has been successfully tested in Boston, Chicago. New York, Baltimore Memphis and in our nearby city, Atlanta. Birmingham will not be a laggard in so good cause. We ask that your church donate $25 to the yearly ex- pense of the district nursing. Respectful ly, the Graduates Nurses Association and the United Charities.
