OF hides In on the tannery siding, and
as there is a sharp curve In the track

taken to the Dubois hospital where
he died about 1910 p. m. The body

al service was held at residence on
Brown street at 200 p. m. yesterday,
conducted by DR.. A. j. Meek. The

ceased was a member, attended the
funeral in body. Interment was made
in the Reynoldsville cemetery.

20, 1888, and was 10 years, 7 months
and II days old at time OF death.

when the entertainments began. Had

entertainment the people became more
careless about getting there and drifted
into the ''any old time" habit. Monday

two-thirds of the audience had not art

Induced the French to Walk.

The celebrated DR.. Tronchin, friend
of Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot,
whose biography has just been pub
lished, was the inventor of walking.
II. France until his epoch (1709-
17SD the leisured class never walked
either for health or recreation. Walk
ing was only practised by the Tiers
Etat; folks footed it from one place
to another simply because they pos
sessed neither coach nor sedan chair.
DR.. Tronchin, an initiator in many
other respects, induced les elegants
ct les elegantes," writes a historian,
to take what is now called a consti-
tutional.
To stroll abroad was name d tron-
chiner, after the inventor, and for
their airings both sexes had special
costumes and shoes, the latter being
more especially necessary. The verb
tronchiner, by the way, has not had
the fate of our Ito boycott" having
passed into disuse long ago.-West-

PROHIS ARE JUBlLANT
In State Of Mississippi Over the Nom
ination, in Primary, of Hon. e.
F. Noel for Governor.

The prohibitionists in Mississippi are
wearing broad smiles these days, and
the cause of their good humor is the
election of Hon. E. F. Noel to the gov
ernorship, which they regard as almost
equivalent to the enactment Of a stat
utory prohibition law that will put
every saloon in the STATE out of busi-
ness.
Although Mr.. Noe:'. Opponent was
pledged TO prohibition the temperance
leaders do not believe that he would
have given the aggressive support to
the measure that they expsct from Mr..
Noel, taking it for granted that the,
latter will not only urge the legisla-
ture by message to put the saloon ont
Of business, but that he will also be-
come a worker IN the ranks, and use
his influence with the lawmakers to-
secure the passage OF the bill, which
means much more than his moral sup
port.
Not a saloon keeper in Mississippi
voted for Mr.. Noel, and it would, there
fore, seem that the prohibitionists
have good grounds tor rejoicing. They
have felt confident OF their ability to
get the statutory measure through at
the coming session, but with a pro-
hibition governor in once they now
regard success as absolutely certain.
The prohibitionists will not; be con-
tent. however, with mere statutory
enactment, which would be subject to
repeal al any succeeding session, thus
letting down the bars asath. They viii
also demand the enactment Of con-
current resoluGea Submitting an
amendment fer constitutional prohibi-
ton to the people, TO be voted on in
1908, and this is where they will have:
to make their main fight. Ths pur-
nose of the statutory law is to be ef.s
fective only until prohibition can be
made a part of the organic law.
Opposition from tie National Liquor
Dealers Association IS expected. In
fact, it is known that the association
has already sent st.rral scouts into.
the state. doubtless for the purpose OF
ascertaining public sentiment. But the
prohibation element is in better baetle
array than ever before in the state.

Er;of7t Outlook for Chester.

From the way Chester county farm

it looks as if the crop in this section
is going to be far beyond the average
Weld. AS consequence both farm
ers and business men feel greatly en-
ccuraged and this feeling is to be >oo-
served in a great many ways.
First OF ali the farmers seem bright
and cheerful, and there is q lack OF
that spirit OF pessimism which too
cften marks the fact that the year has

ton is fine. in fact, the present crop

Road Improvement in the South.

Good roads people were never
more active than they are to-day, par
ticularly in the South" says Cassius
F. Baker, who has lately completed a
tour of the Southern States. Con
vict labor is being used for road
work, and even in the most remote
neighborhoods the highways are be-
ing put in first-class condition. In
some sections I saw as many as 100
and 200 men who were under SEN
tence working on theroadways. While
strict discipline was maintained at all
times, the convicts were accorded the
very best treatment.
In most Southern States each
county is obliged to support its own
prisoners, and by using them IN
building roads the county officials
probably believe that they will get
the largest return for their expendi-
ture. The South holds so much that
is beautiful in nature, so much Of his
torical interest, such great natural
resources, and is so rich in industries
that the news of good roads will be
good news to every one. THE Mo-

Taxinq the Railroads.

The state board Of railroad assess
ors has not yet announced the figures
agreed on for the assessment OF the
various railroad properties in the state
and it is possible that STILL another
meeting will be held some time soon.
The beard mas met several times With
in the last few months, and has had
ample time to come to some under
standing, but SO far as the ruDhc
knows an agreement has not yet been
reached. At the first meeting Attorney
General Lyon introduced a resolution
that all the railroads be assessed a.
100 per cent Of the value Of their prop
critics in this state, as the law requires
and this resolution was adopted and
has never been rescinded so far as
announced, but the difficulty in car
rying out it's provisions has evidently
become apparent to the board, and be-
sides it is manifestly unfair that the
railroads should be required to pay
on a 100 per cent basis when no other
corporation or person pays on that oa-
sis. The railroads have submitted fuil
statements as to the value of their
property and the comptroller general
has given the board his figures, but
there is still some hitch somewhere.
The board consists of the comptroller
general, the attorney general, the Sec
re+arv of state, the state treasurer and
tho chairman Of the railroad commits
sion.
While this beard resolved to assess
ali railroads al 100 per cent the state
hoard of assessors went ahead and as
sessed all cotton mills and cotton Oil
mills ct 50 per cent of their stock
value. This shows the possible lnjus'
tice which may result from having
one ho6v to fix assessments on one
class of property and another body TO
fix assessments on other property. Il
illustrates the need of some sclentlhc
land we'll conceived plan of taxation
in South Carolina, some system to take
tho n]2ce Of the lack of system which
is now APPARENT. The present way OF
doing things in the tax department
works injustice or the large taxpayer
and the small taxpayer, on the corpo
ration and the individual. The lesls'
lator Or statesman who will cause d
revolution in this department OF the
state government will be genuine

Am candidate for the republi-
can nomination for president? No, !
have not the bee, personally. Would
I acent the nomination? No citizen
has ever declined it, nor never will
I would rather contribute to making
the next session Of congress a sue
cess, so that my party will deserve
and win success in 1905, than have
the presidency tenoe-sd to me on a
golden salver.
Now. want to make this point:
If congress does not act wisely at tnes
next session; if it is not actuated by
calmness and patriotism; if it MAKES
a great mistaNe and fails to meat the
approval of the reasoning Americn
public, there will not be much need
for the election OF delegates to the
next national convention of the repun-
lican party.
In the great masses are men nots
talking politics row. continued the

tion is to see that nothing is done TO
make them idle. This country IS very
