Those big gifts. while bestowed il
form for work done. were not the re.
suit Of any special or effective work
for the Republican party, as 1t has
already been shown that the county
scherr hailed from most of these
years was rock-ribbed in It's Repub.
licanism even before Mr.. scherr be.
gan feeding at the public crib so long
as thirty-eight years ago.
While this bounty is to be cut of,
yet the party has never issued the
edict that Ii shall never again be

able that Scherr can well AFFORD to
step aside, and, II deemed best, not
again become a Beneficiary OF the

Whore Is scher,s EducntInn2

A high educational Qualification
has been especially dwelt upon by
some of the followers of Arnold C.
scherr for governor, yet in all such
assertions they have not once ascrib-
ed any such qualification to him,
and, so far as his autobiography is
given there is nothing therein to
show that he possesses any such
qualification or is any way superior
in this respect Of any who are men,
toned in connection with the COVER
norship in either the Republican or
Democratic party. II he ever went to
school 1t is not known and in all his
campaigns there has been nothing to
show that he is scholar or even a
man able to make a speech of any
force or character.
About all we do know about Arnold
G. Scherr in this respect is that he
was born in the city OF Zurich, Swift
erland, and came with his father to
this country and settled at what Is
now Eglon, Preston county. There
IS nothing published so far as this
paper has been able to gather that
he had any schooling at all. Even
so early in life as seventeen years he
was not In school, and when he ar
rived at age in Grant county be went
into politics and was so soon elected
sheriff. There is no record of his
educating himself after that
And, thus If he has a superior
qualification in this respect it re-
mains yet to be shown. The studious
evasion by his followers of this sub
ject is a guarantee that they recog-
nize the fact that he has no such
superiority and their effort is to di-
vert the people from this by charg-
ing others with the lack of the very
thing that Scherr does not possess
himself.
1t is an effort so thin so weak, so
apparently unfair, so foolish, as to
lead the masses to the possession Of
a righteous contempt for the meth
DDS and those employing them.

Party's Gifts to Schcrr.

The stupendOus amount OF about
two hundred thousand dollars has
been drawn by Arnold c. Scherr and
his family from the public crib OF
West Virginia the twenty years he
has held Office. This is an average
yearly amount of ten thousand dol
lars.
This is an exceptional case as but
few, If any, families in the state have
received such a large apportionment
of county ana state funds. Yet in
this case 1t is as true as gospel
Amazing as it may seem. the bounty
is still sought and perpetuity is de-
sired.
Arnold c. Scherr was barely TWEEN
ty-one years Of age when he began
to feed at the public crib. and the re.
ward was not for that kind Of party
service described in his own words of
the day. when he boasts OF fighting
the battles Of the Republican party,
when it meant something to be a Re.
publican, for mt that early age youth
itself precluded a service worthy OF
such a reward. Again, the avenue
to the public crib was easy for him
rs there were no thorns to be en-.
couutered, the county being over.
whelmingly Republican and thus not
requiring any such struggle as his
words imply.

Commenting upon William ].
Bryan's grand stand offer to give
to the Democratic campaign fund all
the profits of his newspaper, The
Commoner, a leading Democratic
newspaper, the Baltimore Sun, says:
1T is assumed that the rule Unit.
ing contributions to $4,000 will not
be enforced against Mr.. Bryan OF
the Commoner. Whether this con-
tribution will come under the pub.
LEFTY rule is not stated. This ar
rangement will give vast number
of Democrats the opportunity to
make modest contributions to the
cause. Accompanying the announce:
ment that the profits OF the Common
err will go to the campaign fund. the
statement is made from Lilcoln-On
MIR. Bryan's authority presumably
that these profits are not large. II
the profits OF paper the size of the
Commoner, selling at 2 cents and
having a half million OF subscribers
as has been asserted, are not large,
Mr.. Bryan had better look into the
business management"
The inference here is that Mr.,
Bryan is not making bowling sue
cess ont of his Peruna sheet. If
the Peerless One cannot practice
some principles of success upon him
self and upon his own enterprises
what tangible assurances have the
American people that these principles
will be Of a successful nature If ap,

A Cure for Nervous Headaches.

Are you bothered with ner-
v0us headaches?
Here is said to be one of the
simplest yet most effective cures.
All that IS required is an empty
beer bottle or even the rolling
pin. Anything will do, in fact,
if it is round and hard.
Lie down fiat upon your back
and place the bottle under the
back of the neck, allowing the
weight of the head to press down
the neck hard against the bottle.
Retain this position for five or
ten minutes and note how the
headache disappears. The press
ure cures because it presses
down upon two large nerves in
the back of the neck, causing
them to rest or sleep for the
number of minutes the pressure
is maintained. This rest allows
the nerves to be toned up to nor
nal condition.
The treatment is intended for
the nervous headache. 1t will
have no effect upon the sick head,
ache, wherein the stomach is the
cause.

Advice of a Weeyil Expert.

SJfdUlOU Ntl VI
States Department OF hgricul-
ture. spoke Friday at TalIuIah'
La. on the boil weeyiI. DR.. 5 A.
Knapp is in charge OF the DEM
onstration work for the entire
South, and Mr.. Evans represents
him in the States Of Louisiana
and Arkansas. Mr., Evans has
been identified with the boil wee
vii fight since the pest first ap-
peared in Texas about fourteen
wears ago, and is an authority on
the subject. His excellent adj
vice was expressed as follows;
There seems to be an Idea
prevalent that the weevil is not
here permanently, but that 1t
will move on in the next year or
two and conditions will be as
they were previous to it's advent.
This is a false idea, for the wee
vii is here and is here to stay.
There is no reason why it should
desert the country which it has
oyerrun, as conditions are to It's
liking and it is satisfied to stay
It is first, last and all the time a
cotton pest, attacking no other
species Of vegetation, and VIII
naturally remain in the cotton
country. The planter is placed
toa great disadvantage in his
fight on the pest by the fact that
there is nothing to indicate It's
presence, as with the other cot,
ton pests, untiIitreaches maturl,
ty, all its various stages OF
growth being hidden from sight
within the boil. The planters
viii be forced to adjust them
selves 10 the new conditions
brought on by the WeeVil anc
planting in the Delta lands before
and after it's advent will be two
different propositions as remote
as the poles. [ would like tt
hold out encouragement and as
sure the planters that the dam
age will not be great; that tht
situation has been painted too
blackly, but [ cannot, as the mat
Ter is serious in the extreme, ant
the probable damage is incalcula
bic; how great it will be will de
pend to q great extent upon thu
planters themselves. The Pre-
position Of how best to cOmba
the pest is a fearful one to tn
cOttOn-grOWing country, and
fatal mistake has been made il
awaiting its appearance befOr
making any effort TO prepare 70
and cOunteract its work. ph
planters should have been pre-
pairing themselves during tn

ten to fifteen days means the
difference between a good crop
and no crop at all; also, in plant
inc, [ would advise that the rows
be ) u to 6 feet apart, the wider
the better, and that the plants be
far enough apart that there Will
be no tapping, at least not until
maturity of the plant.
Grows close together, and the
plants overlapping, as under
present conditions, means apara'
disc for the weevils. The hot
sunshine will prove to be the
planters best aid, for, with the
rows and plants far apart, there
will be no shelter for the pest,
and all squares and young Dolls
which have been punctured and
drop to the ground will be dried
ND and the Weevil killed before 1t
natures. The length of time 1t
takes for the egg to mature into
a weevil varies from tWenty-three
DAYS in the fall and spring tel
eighteen days in the hot summer
months. The boil Weevil hlber-
mates during the winter months,
and thousands, yes, millions, OF
them do not survive the frosts
and freezings, but as the Govern
ment entOmOlOgiStS have Inquired
that under ordinary conditions a
pair of male and female Weevils
will at the end of a season have a
progeny of about 100000 wee
wills, YOU can see at q glance what
a fearful thing they are. II you
9 do not have your cotton made by
Aug. 1, the chances are against
your making any crop at all.
The points | wish to impress
upon you are these:
"Prepare your ground with ut
most care, select your seed care
fully, securing if possible an
early dwarf variety; plant early
and shallow, use acid phosphate
fertilizers, have wide rows and
thin your plants we'll, and cult
vate. On the cultivation depends
your salvation.
Il remember that we thought
in Texas, before the Weeyil came.
that we were doing exceptionally
well to cultivate a crop three OF
four times; now [ know Of crops
that have been cultivated as high
., as eleven times and | have seer
the ploWs and pickers in the
field at the same time. | would
suggest that you arrange a stlcE
- or brush on your plOWs or cult
vators that will knock or jar eacl
cotton plant as it is passed over
- and knock the weevil to the
ground, and it will be killed by
the heat, if you have planted
your cotton in the open name:
suggested; also, it would pa,
you we'll to have all the punctur
ed bolls and squares which have
dropped to the ground picked u
and burned, for in this wa,
