Want a Winner.

The debate now going on be-
tween the Democrats and the
availability of Mr.. Bryan and
Others for the nomination for
president leads the Augusta
Chronicle to declare: "Whlle it
is certainly desirable that south
ern man be made president, that
object must be accomplished at
least upon basis of merit both in
man and platform, and not alone
upon mere geographical accident
of birth. For the voters of the
country to cast their ballots for a
candidate merely because he is a
southerner would be as insane as
southern people casting theirs
against the candidate simply be-
cause he halls from New York OF
any other northern state, What the
Democrats want is a candidate
that can win, and the best display
of Americanism they can make
will be to unite in supporting suct
J a man"

Men Past Sixty in Da niger,

More than half of mankind over
sixty years of age suffer from
kidney and bladder disorders,
usually enlargement of prostate
glands. This is both painful and
dangerous, and Foley's Kidney
Cure should be taken at the first
sign of danger, as it corrects
Irregularities and has cured many
old men of this disease. Mr.
Rodney Burnett, Rockport, Mo-,
writes: 81 suffered with enlarged
prostate gland and kidney trouble
for years and after taking two
bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure |
feel better than / have for twenty
years, although I am now 81 years

Anti-Saloon League is to
Push County Local
Option Bill.

Columbus, August 1.-THE
Anti-Saloon League has begun its
campaign for the enactment of the
Rose county local option bill, that
now sleeps with the Senate Com
mittee on Temperance.
In spite of the fact that at the
recent meeting of the members of
the Assembly at Cedar Point,
where the feeling appeared to be
against the enactment of such a
law at this time, it is understood
that the league is working through
it's many powerful agencies to Sc
cure friends for the bill. In some
cases members who are serving
their first terms in the Senate and
the House have been threatened
with the vengeance of the league
if they do not favorably consider
the Rose bill. 1t is we'll known
that but for tine position of the
league at the last session of the
assembly the Rose bill would have
passed, but after the enactment of
the Woods search and seizure law
and the Jones petition law, the Or
ganization quit in the matter of
securing the passage of any more
measures.
The Rose bill was hung up in
the committee by Senator Atwell,
of the Newark district, who was
one of the strongest anti'saloon
members of the Legislature, and at
the personal request of Wayne b.
Wheeler, State Superintendent.
But the body is now arranging to
push the fight for the enactment
of the bill that they might have
made law nearly two years ago
had the leaders desired it.

A Judicial Boomerang.

The first United States statute
imposing an inheritance, or sue
cession tax, was passed in 1907.
Such taxes were also imposed by
the acts of June 80, 1864; August
2T, 1894, and June 13, 1893 The
leading caeee in which these acts
have been constructed by the Su-
preme Court are Scholey V. Rev,
20, Wallace 331 and Knowlton V.
Moore, LIS U s. 81. The statut-
es have all been held to be con-
situtional but the court has chang
ed its views as to the ground on
which such tax is to be.upheld.
The last opinion of the court
maintains that 1t is an excise tax,
and may believed as ordinary tariff
taxes are without being apportion-
ed among the states according to
pOpuIublOus ulE NlBW pluSCS aiA
the property in the county at the
disposal of congress, at the death
Of the owner. Those people who
successfully opposed the income
tax levied by the Wilson tariff bill
may yet have reason to regret
their success in that matter since
the decision of the Knowlton
Moore case enables congress to
grab their property at their death
without any constitutional limits-
tion except that the tax shall be
uniform thorougholt the United
States. The millionaries will, Of
course, be the first sufferers. But
their is no safe guard against the
c5nfiscation of all property, under
this decision.

X. X, Mine Burned

Fire rushed Though the Y, y.
mine at Shawnee Monday morning
completely destroying everything
in its path.
The valuable machinery which
had been installed to fight the
blaze was put out of business, en-
failing loss of several thousand
dollars.
Fire has been raging in the old
works of this mine for over twenty
years, but until lately has never
gotten beyond control, and though
they knew of the danger, men
went in to work Monday as usual,
fortunately they were warned in
time to make their escape, al
though it was narrow one.
At meeting of stockholders OF
the mine some days ago it was de-
cided to abandon the mine II TINS
last scheme for fighting the fire
failed, as it was only a matter of
a few months until the available
coal would have been worked out.
The NX was one of the oldest
mines in the Shawnee territory
and its stoppage will throw quite
a few men out of employment.
Now that nothing more can be
done with XIX works it is possible
that more strenuous measures
may be taken to protect No. 3
from the danger on that side, as
there can be no objection to the
plans presented, as there was some
time ago. -Straitsville Record.

This ls how the various items,

Then her name was sent to the
State Auditors office to be certi-
fed for Aiken tax collection.
Now the Auditor will ask her for

ly request was received at the
State Auditors office for a decision
as to the liability for the Aiken
tax of travelling salesman who
has been taking orders for booze

on order to various persons, and
collected on the spot. The money
was then remitted to whiskey
house outside of the state, and
the goods shipped in one package
to one of the persons ordering,
who promised to deliver the goods
to other purchasers.

Athens county authorities there
was no way to get the Aiken tax,

office nor the county officials
could promise the salesman i'm
munity from arrest by the "dry"
people of Athens, IL has been
learned that the "drys" may de-
eide to try to make the state law
cover this salesman's case.
