His Illness.

s'I think that [ can succeed in giving
this community what it wants in the
next eighteen months, said Governor
ltSCarter last night. ''There are but
eighteen months of my term left.

There is no need that / should worry
myself a great deal about what is to
be done. | will not try to initiate new
business, so much as / will devote my
attention to finishing up the things that

''Not at all. I viii not be here for
ever. The people Will be here for a

people are proud of it. The cleanness
of the town, and its wholesomeness are
a revelation They can never tell me,
