Opposes the Charter.

Fair Grounds. Or, Nov. 10, 1907.
Editor Journal:-P'ease note in
your paper the purport OF section s,
in the proposed new charter. In my
opinion Secs. and 8 should not be
allowed TO remain In the charter, as
they are written. No city can pos
sibly escape from paying damages
for the negligence OF It's servants ana
the city owning the streets from
property line TO property line they
can't compel the property owners
20 repair or pay damages that ac-
crue on somebody's property that
they do not own which would be uu-
just, and / believe would not stand
in any court OF Justice. The street
and alleys belong TO everybody and
their use Is free 20 everybody. and
all Improvement thereon should be
borne by the whole city. Therefore
section In the new charter is wrong,
and should be left out. Rather than
w NhAA HAAA eth L MouA0 WV
against the whole charter.
The mayor has too much power
granted him, especially in appoint
ing the three commissioners, who
should have charge of all the dlffer-
ent departments, and transact all Il
the business OF the city without the
consent or approval OF the council.
they should be elective, and should
have reasonable salaries for their
services. The city cannot ask men
20 work for nothing, and thereby Of
fer n premium for graft, which they
are bound TO do. In order to recon-
pense themselves for their time and
necessary expenses. Further no
franchise shonld be granted by coun-
ell or commission TO any street or
electric or steam railroad TO use the
public streets of the city without
first furnishing an amount of the
route or course such road asks for.
With the amount OF the renumera-
tion the city shall receive for the
same 10 the qualified voters OF the
city for their sanction or rejection.
The streets belong to the people not
TO the mayor, council or commits
sioners, Further section 220 TO,
and including section 22S, simply
oonhscate property by making the
teams OF the appeal, such that the
cost, and rules OF procedure are an
outrage upon any citizen so ag-
grieved.
Further, TO pass section 251 would
be I'm my opinion a heinous crime
against the citizens OF Salem. Now,
Mr.. Editor, | have asked great
many OF the citizens on the streets
II they have seen a copy of the pro-
posed new charter, ana only about
one In twenty have had a chance TO
see IL. | would advise the citizens
20 obtain a copy. at once. and become
familiar with Il before voting on il.
and get out, and register, and vote
intelllgently on so important mat
ter.

r DIR. TALKS OF FOOD
! Pres. Of Board of Health.

sWhat shall I eat?" is the daily
inquiry the physician is met with. I
do not hesitate to say that in my
judgment, large percentage of dis
ease is caused by poorly selected and
improperly prepared food. MY per-
sonal experience with the fully-cooEed
food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables
me to speak freely Of its merits.
"From overwork, suffered several
years with malnutrition. palpitation
of the heart, and loss of sleep. Last
summer was led to experiment per-
sonally with the new food, which l
used in conjunction with good rich
cows milk. In a short time after l
commenced it's use, the disagYeeable
symptoms disappeared, my hearts ac-
ton became steady and normal, the
functions of the stomach were prop
eriy carried out and ! again slept as
soundly and as well as in my youth.
az look upon Grape-Nuts as a per-
feet food, and no one can gainsay but
that it has most prominent place in
a rational, scientific system Of feed
ing. Any one who uses this food will
soon be convinced of the sopndness
of the principle upon which 1t is
manufactured and may thereby know
the facts as to its true worth" Read,

BETWEEN SEASONS.
The Need Which Spring Brings to
All, and How 1t is Met.

That, after the long and wearing struggle
with Winter, there is need of a revitalizing
agency of some sort, the almost universal
demand for what is popularly known as
"spring medicine" would seem to indicate.
People feel, without doubt, that there has
been drain on their vital forces, and that
they are not up to the standard of health
and strength required by the demands of
daily life. They want spur, tonic, an
invigorant, and they look forward to the
coming heat of Summer with apprehension,
dreading the further call that is to be made
on their already impaired forces. In fact,
they want Spring medicine.
And the want is natural, and, fortunate
ly, as naturally supplied. Nature has pro-
vided the means, and science has applied
them. In Yager's Sarsaparilla with Celery,
is found combination, which, while of the
greatest general value, is especially adapted
to the needs of the weakened physical con.
dition which follow Winter and precedes
Summer. BY purifying and enrcbing the
blood, strengthening the nerves, giving
restful sleep, creating appetite, and aiding
digestion, Yager's Sarsaparilla with Celery
builds up the entire system and restores it
to its maximum of health and vigor. So
effectual is it, so unrivaled in its sphere,
that in thousands of families its use has be-
come as regular as the recurrence of the
seasons. 1t is "par excellence" the Spring
medicine. All druggists sell it, 30 cts.

The Irishman sees everything

q spirit of resignation and unwordli-
ness worthy OF the saints Of old.
The dread blight had fallen on the
fields in most Of the district where
we were visiting in Ireland, and the
potato vines hung limp and brown.
No word Of complaint was spoken, and
when the likelihood of famine was
mentioned the answer came:
Danger, ma'am? Yes, there is, in
deed. but God is good. He'll find q
way"
So, too, about the hay. The SUM
mer had been terribly wet, and for
days the new mown hay had laid on
the ground. 1t was an anxious time.
"What will you do" I said to Mike,
"If this weather keeps up? Your hay
will surely be ruined"
"Oh, please God, it won't keep up"
he answered. Hell send US bright
day sson, Just to see how well we'll
use It,"

They showed US, on the road to
town, a gentleman's place where, in
a stretch Of what not long since had
evidently been thickly wooded land.
stood stump after stump Of giant
trees. Four or five years ago, when
the winter was exceptionally long and
cold, the peasants suffered from scare
ity of peat They begged this landed
proprietor to sell them wood, offering
not only to pay his price but to fell
the trees and carry them of. He re-
fused.
Again and again they begged, for
the suffering grew intense, but he
would not let his hand be marred. One
night there came a wind so frightful
that 1t seemed for time as IL the
"big wind" were blowing again. In
the morning the highway along this
proprietor's domain was impossible.
Huge trees, blown to the ground, lay
across the road for a distance of two
miles, and the forest beauty was a
thing of the past. The town author
tiles ordered the obstruction cleared
away, and the peasants 'got for moth
ing more than they had been refused
for pay.
Twas the hand Of God was in
that, ma'am," 1 was told, "for, with
all the wind, not poor mans cot was
harmed, nor another tree on the coun-
tryside only those. God always looks

TRAVELLING HINTS.

One of the d,scomforts OF travelling
is the, difficulty one experiences in
standing or walking in a moving
train. The secret lies in allowing
the body to sway with the motion OF
the cars, the knees being slightlp bent
and the feet PLACID rathr far apart.
Those who difficulty in sleeping
on an all night journey may profit by.
the experience of salesmen and other
travellers, who insist upon having the
bed made up with the head towards
the locomotive Just why this
should make sleeping easier is not
explained, but the plan is highly
recommended.
Pains in the head after reading on
the cars are due to an unusual strain
upon the muscles of the eyes.
: TRY the plan of reading for ten min.
utes and then for five, reviewing what
you have read. If you wish to look
out OF. the window, look out of the
one on the other side OF the car, for
to look out OF the one next to you
will require quick changes of the eye
which are extremely fatiguing."-

FARM CONTRACT LAW VOID.
Act of South Carolina Legislature
Making Breach of Farm Contract a
Misdemeanor Held to be Unconsti-
tutional BY u. S. Judge BTaWleY.

Charleston, Special.-In the United
States District Court Judge W. Fl.
Brawley rendered his decision in the
case brought in behalf of Enoch and
Elijah Drayton, on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, declaring the act of the leg
islature making the breach of farm
contract q misdeameanor TO be uncon-
stitutional, null and void, and the two
negroes are ordered released.
Judge Brawley's decision deals al
most entirely with the law on the
subject. The case is, however, briefly
reviewed, showing that the two ne
groes were arrested in January, 1907,
upon a warrant for failure to per-
from their contract under section 357
of the acts of 1904 and that at this
time. they were under contract fol
q task Of the year, not yet performed.
The act provides that conviction
shall not operate for the release or
discharge of the violater and when
the negroes were arrested in January,
it was the second time that they had
been hauled up and put on the chain
gang for the same offense.
The only criminal act, in the words
of the decision, "was tie failure to
work"
While admitting that the legishla-
ton is part of the local administra-
ton in matters of great convenience
to the industrial life of the State,
Judge Brawley says: "The remedy
is not found in statutes which chain
the laborer to the soil and force him
to labor whether he will or not. HUI
man nature revolts at it and he will
escape it if he can. 1t is by improv-
ing his condition and not by still de-
grading it that the remedy may oe
found"
Judge Brawley concludes by ,le-
claring the State act to be in conflict
with the thirteenth and fourteenth
amendment of the constitution Of
the United States and orders the G.
lease of the prisoners.

a Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or starved
liver. 1t would be q stupid as well as
savage thing to beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
great mistake to lash 1t with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfesbled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and SEQ how
quickly your liver will become active.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of oliver
trouble" by Its wonderful control OF the
organs OF digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity OF the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
