MISS MAYME f. SMITH, Ala East
1vl Mound ST., Columbus, Ohio, writes {:
"Have used Peruna for catarrh and
hay fever. The results being remark
able, I can highly recommend it to all
who are suffering with the above dis
eases. 1 am happy to be able to say it
has helped me wonderfully"
What is known as hay fever is in
reality endemic catarrh, n catarrhal
condition of the nose, throat, some
times the bronchial tubes, induced by
some local irritant.
The irritation is generally due to vege-
tai carnations of some sort. Hay has
been suspected as being the cause Of
this malady, hence its namc, hay fever.
1t has been attributed to rag weed and
other vegetation clso. 1t is very
capricious disease, coming and going.
A medicine that will help one case may
not help another. Such treatment has
always been very uncertain and unsat-
isfactory.
Peruna helps some cases without a
doubt, although it. is not claimed to be
an infallible remedy for such cases.

in elections as in Henderson.
The county officers for many
years past have it is believed
been literally bought. The prin-
cipIe Of local self government is
endorsed, at least in their plat
forms, by al political parties, but
there can be no real local self
government where local Offices
are bought and sold. If it were
provided that all the three or
four hundred offices in Hender-
son County should be filed by
officers elected by direct vote of
the people and the officers were
elected as the present officers
are, Henderson County would
still have no local self govern
ment. Local self government
surely cannot mean the purchase
of offices by the highest bidder,
for cash, for votes in the cleo
tons. When we are able to have
fair elections in the county-un-
influenced by the use of money
and whiskey and when it be-
comes possible for good men to
be elected to office-men who
will obey the law and respect
their oaths of office, then there
will be no objection and no rea-
son for objection to having all
officers, State and Federal,
elected by direct vote of the peo-
pie. At present however objec-
tionable, many good men in he
county believe it better to have
some of the most important Off
GERS. State and Federal, appoint
ed, than to have the offices
bought and sold.

The present time things have
grown worse and worse in this
white Republican county among
the mountains of Western North
Carolina, until conditions are
now almost intolerable. Through
lad management on the part of
or county commissioners. our
county has a floating indebted
ness of many thousands of dol
lars. Our taxes are high 81. Is
this year on the one hundred dol
lars valuation of property; $62,
900 being collected and spent
each year.
But notwithstanding all our
troubles and humiliations about
not having an ideal system of To-
cal self government in which
Republicans hold nearly all the
offices of every description
whether by popular election or
experimentation county and
town are developing along in
dustrial and educational lines and
we are a fairly well contented
and happy people. Our public
school property is worth seven
times what it was ten years ago
under republican management,
and the school terms one month
longer. Twenty-seven new
school houses have been built,
ranging in cost from So, 600 down;
thirteen local tax school districts
established. seven graded schools
and two state high schools,
twenty-five rural libraries in
stalled and ten supplementary
1ibraries-the enrolment and ac-
tual attendance upon the schools
has increased at least forty per
cent, and all this by these pesti-
ferrous democratic officials ap-
pointed from Raleigh.
We are also improving our
public roads and making travel
easier. It was, of course, un-
fortunate that the Republican
Constitution makers of 1868
wrote into their constitution that
the justices of the peace should
have charge of the public roads.
But, Notwithstanding this draw
back, according to the pretend
ed belief of present day republi
cans) we are making some pro
gress, and will, no doubt, whel

politicians can take charge maxi

INSURGENTS
WINNING

Washington, Dec. 19.-The Insurg-
ents against the present rules of the
House are leaving for their homes,
5ubilent with the progress they have
made in stirring up an i~nsurrection
in the Republican ranks. They will
tell their constituents that before the
end of the session the rules will be a.
mended. The Insurgents expected to.
day that it is certain at least one
change will be, made. 1t is said that
it is believed there would be no oppo.
sition in the Republican daucus to an
amendment that would provide for one
day each week for the calling of the
committee on enrolment of bills or
the union calendar and on the House
calendar. This morning the most op-
timfstic claim this is all thai is nee
essary to from the present rules and
that this change would enable the
committee to get before the House
the important bills of various
kinds. This. it is urged, would relieve
the speaker OF the liability of charges

A Nut for Someone to Crack.

Why do people who do not eat pork
as, meat continue to use it in the form
of lard? Lard is just as indigestible
as pork. In a recent article on cook
ing fats. DR.. Paige Emery, the eminent
specialist, writes as follows:
1.-The healthful and economical solu-
ton of the cooking fat problem is the
use of Cottolene. Cottolene is purely
lated. and aids digestion. Dietetfc ex-
periments have shown c~onclusively that
when a vegetable oil is used in cook
Ing In preference to animal fat, it is
more easily assimilated and yields far
more nourishment to the body
.Cottolene is sold only in sealed pals,
of special design, which keep it sweet
and fresh indefinitely.

Bryan C0nYting Hearst.

What right has Mr.. Bryan to expect
the help Of William R. Hearst? The
overtures which the Nebraskan is public
ly making to the New Yorker prove,
once again, the desperate eagerness of
w. J. B. to reach the Presidency.
In 1896, when New York and all the
East was the enemy's country" Mr.
Hearst not only championed Bryan in
his papers, but put up dollar for the
campaign for every dollar contributed by
everybody else.
Later, Mr.. Hearst paid Mr. Bryan very
large sums, which were most welcome,
for the Nebraskan was not SO rich then
as now. The money was paid for news
paper articles which did not rise above
the commonplace,
In 1900, Mr.. Hearst and his papers
again gave Mr.. Bryan ardent support.
In 1904, Mr.. Hearst was a candidate
for the Democratic nomination, and
Bryan was not. But Bryan swas dele
gate to the convention and had it in his
power to make Hearst the nominee.
Instead of doing anything Of the kind,
Bryan threw his support to poor old Gen
eral Cockrell who had about as much
chance to be nominated as Bland had, in
1896, when his brilliant young lieutenant,
BRYAN, came to the convention determine
ed to capture the nomination himself
Yes, Bryan played his selfish game to
the very last card-votino for an inlpos-
sible candidate, rather than help Hearst
who had done so much for Bryan.
and why did Bryan persevere in the
farce of voting for Cockrell?
Because the old General could never
become an obstacle to Bryan's ambitious
plans, whereas, if Hearst should have be-
come the Democratic nominee Bryan
would ever afterwards have had rival to
fear.
Bryan's calculations are based, always,
upon an elemental selhshness,
