THOSE Richmond contemporaries
that some weeks ago let the cat oat
of the bag in their contemplate
whoop for Stuart for Governor, AID
seem to be in cahoot in crying "ma.
chine" to scare the voters, are prett y
busy taking down opinions from
Stuart men coming in from the Re-
publican Ninth, and also proclaim
ing from the house top that Stand.
ard Oil drummer fluids most of the
drummers for Stuart. OF course the
Ninth Is going to send tidings for
Stuart; for are there not more Re-
publicans there than Democrats, and
don't the Repu blicans dote on Mr..
Henry Stuart since he s'turne d
States evidence?" And of the DEM
ocrats of course the Stuart faction,
which could have elected Democrat
over old Slemp but chose not to, are
all for Stuart. And if you are bank
ing on Standard Oil mans cue,
you are barking on a cold trail.
There was time when the travelling
gentry were bibulous fellows, and q
few of them are still left and these
few will undoubtedly be for Stuart !;
but that fraternity in recent years
has undergone a aattering change.
The majority of drummers are up
right, sober, virtuous and chivalrous
men. In fact large majority of
the many we know are actual stem
perance" men. Now just you Rich
mond Supremes watch the roll call
of the country. Mr.. Stuart NAV
carry his own Ninth district, and
most probably will. You think you
will lambast the Third into line for
him! Just watch and see. Will
you not, as favor to the other can
didates advertise to the State that
you are going to carry the Richmond
district for Stuart? Please; we want
to see your Influence at large IN Vir.
ginia since you have concluded to
pose as the Warwick to Virginia hon

lar aspirant for Governor. Remem-

Mark the prediction, though made in
obscurity and humility: Stuart may
carry his, Tucker his and Glass his |
District, bat if Mann loses out in |
any of the remaining seven it will not |
exceed the mineral 1. The people
know be is Objectionable to the Rich
mond newspapers because of his
temperance views, and all your scare
headings between this and another
summer will simply add to his stand

and when you make the issue and

from q swatting and wonder when

Lewis English, aged Is years, and
the youngest son of George w. Eng
lish, of near Kinsale, was instantly
killed at Kinsale Friday afternoon by
the wheels of his wagon running over
his head.

at the wharf and was letting off
steam, which frightened the horses.
AS the animals sprang off he attempted
to catch them by the bride bit, was
thrown under the wheels of his wagon
and instantly killed.

DOES it pay-us, the obscure and

izen? The Southern Railway has
reduced the number of trains in lis
summer schedule. The Southern, the
r., +. & p, the Seaboard Air Line
and other railways have taken away
the towels and soap from the white
compartments. Thns are we being
leveled down. The public gets tit
for tat. IL the States aud General
Government cut down the income of
the roads by taxation, and hamper
them in their operations, the roads
have Only one remedy-to reduce ex-
penses. In many places in the
South three railway men are now do
ing what five to seven men did year
ago. So We ask does it pay us =?
Some will say yes; anything to
whack railroad or other corporation;
but the satisfaction is like unto the
satisfaction of that Eastern Shore
trucker who wasjubilating over two
cent passenger rate. Personally be
saved about $500 year in his trips
to town. At the same time ne was
paying about $25 a car increase of
freight, and he shipped about three
cars year. He was getting square
with the railroad-at cost of
S72.40 year-but satisfaction" is
worth heap to some individuals.

CAMPAIGN OPENED.

As may be seen by the official
call from the chairmen of the
state, congressional and county
committees, the fall campaign
will take definite shape at the
court on Tuesday night at about
8 o'clock.
We believe it to be the duty of
every American citizen to study
the conditions and environments
surrounding him and in every
manner possible seek to obtain
the best results for the commu-
nifty in which he lives. In local
affairs we are often guided by
feelings of friendship for our
neighbor and friend, knowing full
we'll his fitness and qualification
for the position, hence we often
lay aside our political proclivities
and permit ourselves to he guided
by friendship and brotherly love.
Now comes the questions of
broader and deeper significance
in which the canvass is extended
to cover one vast and mighty
army of happy and contented peo-
pie. By your vote is the future
veal or woe of this nation to be
determined, hence you owe it to
your family. to your friends, and
to your country to take an active
interest in a National contest.
If you believe the interests of
our people would be safer and
surer with Taft as President
do your duty as a citizen by COM
ing to the. court house on Tues
day night and. enrolling your.
name as a member of the first
Taft club organized in Benton
county. Let US start a red-hot
fire under the political pot in the
county seat and keep showing in
the fuel until the glow of heat
will be felt in every school dis
trict in the county. :..'. ..
Let us wage q nice, clean cam
palgn, worthy of the cause we
represent, and when the returns
come in we will be pleased to see
the largest republican vote ever
cast in Benton county. Don't
fail to show your smiling face
among the faithful and have your
name recorded with the brethren.

issue the regulation of depart

the defeat of the Republicans be

which they had enforced the
smoke ordinance. But in 1924.
when great concourse had gath
cred in front of Fairview, Mr..
Bryan tottered out upon the
porch and said /: Fellow citi-
zens, the paramount issue this

MORMON QUESTION.

The Mormon question seems to
be cutting quite a wide swath in
the Democratic party in Idaho.
Ex-senator Dubois has waged a
bitter warfare against the Nor
mons during the past two years,
hence this element of the party
has sought out a new Moses-by
name Alexander-and nominated
him for Governor.
They intend to 60 right down
into the Mormon settlement and
line up the unterrified. after
which they will beard the lion in
his den in the northern counties
where the Dubois sentiment is
strongest.
This Moses proposes to show
the Mormon brethren that the
Dubois wing has prosecuted them
during the past two years and if
his pernicious doctrine is not
checked the time will soon come
when a man cannot have more
than a half dozen wives, even in
Idaho or Utah.
Moses Alexander tells them a
bitter warfare has been waged in
their behalf and that their prop
