FINE WESTERN HUMOR.

There will be a state and con-
gressional election in Oregon II
June, aud the great Republican
organ of that state, the Orego'
Man, fearing the effect of recent
events upon the public mind, is
pleading desperately and humor'
ously for loyalty to Roosevelt.
"For Oregon to desert the presi.
dent now" it proclaims, would
be as base as for a regiment to de-
sert it's commander when the fate
of battle hangs in doubt. 1t Is
all important at this moment to
convince the plutocratic enemies
of the president that the country
is with him heart and soul. "
How can the country be with
Roosevelt until it finds out where
Roosevelt is? The last we heard
of him he was with Aldrich, the
representative of tht oil trust and
the railroad combines. A short
time ago he was with the Demo-
Gratis on the rate question. with
the revisionists OH the tariff ques-
ton, and with the socialists Oil
the question of confscation of
private property. Where is Ted
dy now?

The cables have brought many
dispatches recently telling of the
unsatisfactory condition of the
health of the Pope Plus X. Pri-
vate letters from Rome received
in Brussels say that the real cause
of the Pope's poor health, is the
fact of his confinement in the
Vatican. Until his elevation to
the papal throne he had always
been an active man, passing much
of his time out of doors in the
open air and taking long walks in
the woods. His present high office
will not permit of such liberty Of
personal movements, and it il
said that his confinement within
the walls of the Vatican is SLOWLY
killing him.

ANOTHER PLEA FOR ORPHANS.

The appeals for the orphans are
coming thick and fast this week.
The following is from Rev. w. P.
Jacobs, of the Thornwell Orphan
age, at Clinton, S. G:
As summer time comes on, the
thought of vacation fills every
mind. We are apt, in our seeking
after leisure, to forget that there
are orphans to be thought of and
cared for. Ask the superinten-
dents of our orphans homes and
without exception they will tell
yen that the hardest time in the
whole year, is "the good old sum-
mer time" Provisions gets scarce
and money great deal scarcer
still. It is a splendid time to re-
member the orphans then. When
the wheat crop comes in, send
samples" TO be tested by the
palates of the little people. The
200 pupils of the Thornwell Or
phanage could test several hum
dred bushels of wheat, for the
neighboring mill makes the gift
of wheat as acceptable as flour.
And as for money. only $500 will
care for a little child for whole
month and there are 200 little
children to be cared for here.
Provisions can be sent to Thorn
we'll Orphanage, Clinton, S. c.
and money to Rev VIM. P. Jacobs,
at the same place.

The Missouri hog which sold for
$4,000 has a rival now in Mis-

This is the highest price ever paid
for q rooster in the history of the
State. AS high as $500 has been
paid on occasions, but it remained
for William Miller, of Crescent,
to pay $500, the top price. The
rooster is of the white Plymouth

INTERURBAN RAILWAYS.

The statement comes from Georgia that interurban electric lines are to be built between Atlanta, Griffin and Ma con and between Macon and Albany by way of Americus. Surveys are already being made and 1t is announced that cars will be running on the Atlanta Macon line within a year or less. Re- ferring to this work The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says:
 Contemplation of what the construc. tion of these interurban lines will mean to the sections which they will traverse unfolds vast and wonderful picture that has for it's background increased desirability and profitable ness of farm life. It means more cit izens. intensified farming and. even point where in many sections 1t will be difficult to tell where one town leaves off and another begins. The convenience of schedules for passen- gers and freight will be a magic worker almost. The dairyman. the vegetable gardener. the truck grower and others will find market at their very doors, virtually.
 This may be called the beginning of such enterprises in this section. In some portions of the North and West long electric lines have passed the ex- perimental stage and have become suc- cessful fixtures. The line from At lanta to Macon, or from the latter city to Albany will be long enough to furnish a fair test of the practicabil- ity as well as the desirability of such lines. If these lines are popular and profitable there need be no doubt as to the extension of the system in oth- CT sections.
 We do not agree with some. of the pcssimists that the extension and mul- tiplication of electric lines will work any permanent injury to the steam railroads of the country. They will be an assistant and a feeder for the others. Travel and freight have so in. creased in this country that the olC roads cannot keep up with it. Con- stant complaints of delayed travel anC conGested freight can be found in ac- counts from all over the country, anC these trolley lines will be relief. Be- | sides, they can be conducted moro | quickly and dt less cost than the oth
 CTS, and in many places one of thes, | electric roads can be proftably bull | and operated where the steam road o l the old style would not pay.

Trees and Paving. Columbus Sun.

Columbus EnquirerSun.
 Referring to an item in The Adver- tiser about the Topeka man who pro posed to enjon the city against cut ting down his shade tree The Colum- bus Ledger says: Columbus has had a similar case and the complainants won. The tree stands where it was originally planted" Doubtless the cit izen was thoroughly right. Of course there may be instances where it Is absolutely necessary for a tree to be cut down or removed in order that paving may be properly done. But there are others where it is little less than sacrilege to destroy tree. The trees are the result of years of time and effort and should be saved when 1t is possible.-Montgomer Advertise CT. In this case in this city the tree was planted by the father who has passed away and his devoted daughter objected to the despoilation. The tree is giant and spreads wide it's branch es. It Is the tender associations more than the fact that the tree is a val uable one as a shade tree the objec- tion is made. The tree stands by the edge of the sidewalk and pavement might easily be laid around any part that touches the walk. No pavement has as yet been put down there.

HARMFUL STOMACH DOSING.
No Need of It When Hyomei Is Used
 to Cure Catarrh.

Physicians ana scientists agree that the less medicine one swallows. the better. It is in keeping with this idea that Hyomei is recommended by lead ing physicians throughout this ana other catarrhal sections.
 When this treatment Is used Tn ca tarrhal troubles, there is no stomach dosing, for the medicine is taken In with the air you breathe. and goes right to the spot where the catarrhal germs are present. healing the innamed and irritated mucous membrane Kill ing the disease germs and entering the b.Aod with the oxygen. driving all ca tarrhal germs from the system.
 Do not try to cure casarrh Of the head by putting medicine into your stomach.-this Is neither scientific nor common sense treatment. Breathe inc healing balsams of Hyornei and in Q few days you will notice relief. and its continued use will result in com nlete and lasting cure.
 E q. Fowler has seen so many cures r,ade by Hyomei amongst his custom CTS. several of them cases, where all hops of relief had been given up. that he gives an absolute guarantee Of cure or money will be refunded with every outfit he sells.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs hut sl, while extra bottles Of Hyomei. if needed. are only 50 ceue

The State Fair.

Talladesa Reporter
 Birmingham had her fair last week and Montgomery had hers this week. Those who saw both, say Montgom- cry had very much the better of it on the lines of less blow and far more of real merit.
 It did have the stock, the horses, the poultry and general exhibits in big shape. In fact, the buildings. new and spacious as they were, were al ready too small for what they had. and it was just opening up good on editors day, when the newspaper men of the State were there.
 They didn't have Dan Patch. but they had other horses by the hundred, and many of them were fine and hence the racing was good and of high class. The exhibits of the ne groes of the State were fine and cred itable the flying machine was a suc- cess, and went and lighted where it wished. The sideshows were dis tanced by Pains fire works. which were very excellent.
 Montgomery asks the State to unite to make a great State Fair a fixture for every year, ana this effGt will encourage the public to favoV that move.

Montgomery Justly Proud.

GadSden Journal.
 Montgomery county is proud of her woman cattle raiser who in competi- tion with the best breeders from a number of States, including Tennessee and Kentucky. made away with the lions share of blue ribbons of herd of Shorthorns. And not only Mont gomery county but the whole State may feel proud of this achievement Not so much because Southern wo- man has defeated all corners in an open competition as because through this defeat has been demonstrated to the world the possibilities in this line of effort within the State. To eStab- fish the fact that here in Alabama can be grown as good beef cattle as can be produced anywhere in the world is of far greater moment than the mere qualification of any personal am- bition even though cherished by d wo- man. If to our many other advan- tages we claim by actual demonstra- tion that we excel in the production of high class beef cattle there re- mains little to be desired by those seeking exceptional agricultural op- portunities.
