THE FOLLY OF THE COUNTY
BORROWING IT'S OWN MONEY

Where is the business man, where is
the corporation that would pay inter
est on its own money! The very idea
is preposterous. Yet that is what
Humboldt county is doing now and
has lone for years. The county de
posits it's money in the First National
Bank of Winnemucca and then borrows
the same money from the bank and
pays interest. The county borrowed
$4,000 recently to build a Jail with,
and must pay interest on the borrowed
money. At the same time the bank
has about $4,000 of the county's
money and does not pay a cent inter
est. If the county ever gets out u
the hole different methods will have
to be pursued in the future from those
in the past. This is a matter which
concerns every taxpayer, and one
which should be remedied at the earli-
est day possible.

FORMER HUSBAND AND
WIFE ARE REUNITED

A scene that might serve for q de
lightful bit of comedy in high life re
Gently took place in New York whe.
Mrs. Belle Perkins met her husband,
DIR. Perkins, after a separation Of
eight years. Mrs. Perkins is well
known in Nevada as Lille Maddox;
more especially is she known in Vir-
ginia City. where her father handled
important engineering work in some
of the big Comstock mines. Shortly af-
ter her fashionable wedding with Dr.,
Perkins the two discovered that they
could not agree on anything except t.
live apart. The doctor accepted al
important position under the British
government in the Orient and sailed
on a west bound vessel while his wife
took up her residence in New York.
Not long ago she wrote him that she
had decided that their separation had
better be transformed into a complete
divorce. Accordingly the doctor came
on from INDIA to help out as much rs
possible in the details. One evening it
happened that she was an early guest
at a party in the house of a friend. 1t
also happened that the doctor was
rather early, too 1t was their first
meeting in many, many years. Mrs.
Perkins was equal to the occasion and
greeted her husband with all the
cordiality at her command. He tried
to surpass her, with the result that
they both decided that they were very
much in love again. All ideas of a
divorce were dropp and now they are
on an extended honeymoon.-Town

MR.. aoMpERs, SUPPORT

The opposition press, as well ah the
leaders Of the Democracy throughout
the country are highly elated and rails
ing a great hue and cry over the fact
that Samuel Gompers, president of ths
American Federation of Labor, called
on Mr.. Bryan and promised to sup
port him.
Friends of the Democratic candidate
profess to see an unusual significance
in this incident and assume that Mr.
Gompers will deliver the entire labor
vote of the country, bound hand and
foot, to their party.
But they overrate the matter. 1t
only means that if Mr.. Gompers hap
pens to be at the polls on election
day that Samuel Gompers will east his
vote for Mr. Bryan. Only that and
nothing more.
The American working man is very
jealous of his political liberties, and
does not look to his labor organization
Tor instructions how to vote. He join
ed his union for an entirely different
purpose. In fact, should any member
OF a union attempt to introduce a
political matter on the floor at a
meeting, he would be promptly called
to order.
Mr.. Gompers has held his position
as president of the Federation for a
great many years, but during all that
time he has never attempted to die
tate how union men should vote, and
it is not probable that he will do ) .
now.
Heads of labor organizations have
never been able to deliver the goods
in a political campaign. In this re-
spect they wear the crown without
the sceptre.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by ali
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When this
tube is iniamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the re.
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which il
nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We win give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

Miraculous Escape.

A special from Gaffney says: "Yes-
terday afternoon about three o'clock
little Walter Sarratt and his brother,
who Is younger than he, were playing
over an old disused we'll, several hun
dred yards away from his fathers
house, when the boards which cov-
cred the mouth of the well gave way,
precipitating Walter to the bottom,
distance of rs feet, and at the bot
tom of which was seven feet Of wa
ter. The younger child at once ran
to the house to inform his father,
Mr.. Boyd Sarratt, of the accident to
his brother. The father, almost
frightened out of his wits, started for
the scene of the accident expecting
to find his son at the bottom Of the
we'll, but judge of his surprise and
relief when he met the boy coming
to the house. The little fellow had
crawled to the top after having gone
to the bottom. The only injury which
he sustained was an abrasion on the
back of his head. The we'll was wall
ed with stones and the child, who
was in his bare feet, had climbed the
wall and gotten out without assis-
tance."

Mr.. Counties Fine Crop.

Last week we published an article
in reference to the fine crop of Mr..
D. H. Counts, Of Laurens. Mr..
Counts is now spending the summer
with his family at Hendersonville,
n. c., and a few days ago Mai. Joe.
r. Ligon, of Laurens, wrote him the
following in regard to his crop:
Laurens, S. c., July %, 1908.
Dear Sir: Mr.. Bolt had your sor-
rel horse harnessed up this morning
and we drove out and looked at your
corn and cotton. While your corn
does not appear to be suffering for
moisture, a good soaking in a few
days would be beneficial, and l be-
lieve will make from go to Is bush
els per acre. Cotton fine and looks
to me will make an average OF one
bale to the acre. Fortunate that all
farmers have not as good crops as
yours, if so cotton would not bring
over five cents this fall and corn not
over thirty cents per bushel.
Yours truly
JOE T. LIGON.

Street Lighting in St. Louis.

Somewhat more than year age
the civic league of St. Louis appoint
ed a committee to investigate the
question of street lighting in that
city. This committee has just made
an exhaustive report, and in their
report it is stated that the city pays
$3.50 per arc lamp year and $19.-
65 for each incandescent. The COM
mittee discussed the matter of es-
tablishing a municipal plant, and ad-
vised against it if proper rates and
service could be secured from private
companies. They estimated that the
cost of municipal lighting would be
2k cents a kilowatt hour, or about
$50 per arc lamp per year. Bamberg
is furnishing it's arc lamps at rate
of $50 a year, and yet in a city the
size of st. Louis they estimate that
each lamp would cost s69 a year If
furnished by a municipal plant. From
these figures it seems that Bamberg
is getting it's street lights very cheap.

MIR. r. NJ. Hays Dies Suddenly.

Greenwood, July 22.-A telegram
from Chase City, Va, late this after
noon conveyed the sad message to
Greenwood people that R. M. Hays
was dead, he having suffered stroke
of paralysis shortly after noon today,
dying at $3.50 p. m. Mrs. Hays was
with him at the time Of his death,
they having gone to this Virginia
summer resort last week. The news
came as a shock to this community
for only to-day a letter was received
from Mrs. Hays to friend, stating
that Mr.. Hays was improving.
Mr.. Hays was one Of Greenwood's 8
foremost citizens, having been closely
identified with the business interests
of Greenwood for the past 20 years,
he having moved here from Bamberg.
Only last week he resigned the pres
idency of the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank on account Of his health,
however, retaining his interests In
several other business enterprises.
Mr.. Hays was about 49 years old.
The interment will take place at
Bamberg, his old home.
