PANSIES.

The pansy or heartease is one or
the oldest and most popular of gar
den flowers. The brilliaDce and va
riety OF their colors make them most
useful as border plants.
The amateur may SOW seed in the
spring, where the soil Is moist and
not too warm, and be will get plants
that will blossom In summer and
keep blooming until fall. The flowers
must be kept picked closely to insure
steady blooming
II earlier blossoms are desired,
plants that have been carried through
the winter in cold frames should be
obtained from the florist. The plants
should be set out as soon as the
ground is In condition for working
and the danger OF frost is past The
only cultivation necessary Is stirring
the ground TO keep II from baking
and keeping the bed reasonably free
from weeds.
The grower who wishes to have his
own early plants should SOW seed In
August or September and transplant
the seedlings to pots to be kept In the
house or, better still. TO cold frames
with good soil where they may renal.
until winter when they should be pro-
tectod by glass and boards.

ECZEMA ONLY SKIN DEEP.
Local Cure of Diseased Surface Now
Recognized as Proper Treatment.

In gathering data for an address be-
fore the Pathological club, DR.. ID. ID.
Dennis. the skin specialist OF Chicago,
prepared~a table of results on micro
scopical blood examinations of 46S
sufferers from skin disease.
These tests were from the blood of
persons who had called at his office
within a period OF two years. Less
than 10 per cent Of all these cases
showed anything at all the matter
with the blood. and in not a single in
stance could the physicians present
trace the slightest connection between
the skin affection and the blood
humor.
This personal experience furnished
the Chicago physician with the basis
Tor a brilliant exposition of his con-
tention that eczema, psoriasis, salt
rheum, BARRIERS itch and other skin
diseases are first and last diseases of
the skin and have nothing at all to do
with the blood. At the Conclusion Of
- ithhlE was tOIbl dNu-
lated on his demonstration by the
prominent medical men present.
For several years DR.. Dennis has
allowed private company to manu-
facture and sell his celebrated COM
pound of thymol glycerine and oil of
wintergreen known as d. ID. d. Pre-
scription. and 1t was particularly
gratifying to him that other first-class
physicians, free from prejudice and
Jealousy, should recommend the d. ID.
ID, Prescription to all skin sufferers.
II is simply wonderful-the instant
relief-the complete taking away OF
the itch the very moment this oil of
wintergreen compound is applied to
the skin. We know, we vouch for It!
II. W. Walker & Co. Just try 1t. We
recommend ID. ID. ID. Prescription es-
peclally when used with d. d. d. Soap
Call at our store and we will tell you
more about this scientific cure.

THE nuFAuLA TIMES.

journs hstic change. which has its own special interest is that by which Messrs. R. M. Lee and Chester E. John son assume control of The Eufaula Times. Mir. A. L. Muir who has owned and edited the paper for the past nine years retains ownership of The Times, but under lease 1t will be conducted by Messrs. Lee and Johnson.
 MT. Lee is a member of the Alabama Legislature and he has been prominent in Barbour County for a long term of years. Mir. Johnson has lately edited and published The Clio Free Press. He made it an excellent newspaper. Although The Free Press was pub lished in one of the smaller towns which boast a newspaper the energy and intelligence displayed by MT. John son in its conduct made it one of the brightest weekly papers of the State. He is a good newspaper man. one who was born with the "knack" and not every man editing a paper has it. But he had the gift and he made the edi- torial columns of The Free Press bright and influential. Eufaula offers a wider and better field and the prediction may be ventured that the new editor of The Times will occupy 1t and make felt the influence of The Times.
 Eufaula for half century has had It's own peculiar reputation for intel ligence and culture. It's Journalism has been served by some of the most brilliant writers in the State The list of its editors would include such men as Edward c. Bullock, Captain J. M. Macon and former Governor William D. Jelks. On The Times the former Governor began his successful career.
 Eufaula Is repository of some splendid newspaper traditions. The character of these traditions should be an inspiration to those who come after wards.

BRYAN FOND OF FRIDAY.

First And Third Nominations Made On
 The "Kzoodoo" Day. Chicago Record Herald.
 There can be no question that Will liam Jennings Bryan was nominated on the ''hoodoo" day.
 This being the fact Democrats Of Chicago put the best face on the mat ter possible. They declared that the peerless ,ne has 10 fear of super sti- tions and that if Friday had always horre bad reputation the mere fact that Bryan was nominated oy' that day would start 6 new tradition.
 Besides. they say, Bryan Is fond Of Friday. It was on Friday that he secured the Democratic nomination Tn Chicago the first time that he ran. He had wakened the echoes with cross of gold effect on the day preceding and risen at a bound from obscurity to national prominence. On Friday he was given the honor of leading his party at he polls and even if he did suffer defeat. they say, still he had put himself in the way of national November end of the story to be a repetition of November, 1896.
 Other Democrats said that the party is pre- eminently the party of initta- or or busting the tariff it is only proper that it should have a shy at entrench- ed superstition. Down with tradition to perdition with bugaboosl Long live
 
 Besides there Is much to say for Friday. they insist. and in proof of their contention they turn over the pages of history. Here are a few of | the successful exploits which were undertaken on Friday:
 August 1, 14s2-Columbus set out on | his voyage
 March IS. 14s3-Columbus arrived at l Palos
 November 22, 14eS-Columbus arrived at Hispanola on his second voyage. January 13. 1494-Columbus discover ed North America.
 September 2, 1565-Melendez founded St. Augustine. the oldest city in Ameri- ca.
 December 22. 1e2o-Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. | Tn addition to these instances George | Washington was born on Friday and | 6 number of other historical events of | Importance, among them the seizing of Bunker Hill took place on the supposedly i'll omened day.

 Why all this talk by heads of the police in different cities of Alabama ,a.,nt aS9nt diissregardins the new pistol

TUsEDAY, JULY 14, 1908.
A BIG JOB AHEAD.

Tn something less than two years the periodic roundup of the American people by the census takers will begin, and all good citizens will be expected to stand up and be counted. It is some trouble. of course. but all of us want it to be known that we are here. and when the census man comes around it fs our duty to sit or stand up and look pleasant, and answer all the questions that may be fired at us. That's what we are here for, or part of the reason.
 It Is estimated in advance that it will cost the government not less than fourteen million dollars to take such a thorough census as Is contemplated for 1910, but we are assured that it will be the most thorough and com pIete job of the kind that has ever been attempted. We do not know whether the above sum is to be ex- pended in the actual work of taking the census or whether that amount IS to cover the compilation. printing and distribution of the reports. Either way we may reasonably expect, as is usual with government work. that several ad- ditions to the fourteen millions will be needed before all is done.
 But let us hope that it will be com plete before 1t is done. We suppose the enumeration will extend to the Philippines, Guam, and our other out lying dependencies, for we suppose the intention is to go the whole hog and round 'em all up. But even if the work only covers the actual inhabitants in the States and Territories on this continent it will be we'll worth the cost. This is big country. with lots of people in 1t. and it will be interest ing to know just how many of us are left. The job will give employment to many thousands of people. and will help to distribute the money where it will do most good.

THE COMMITTEES INDEPENDENCE.


 The Advertiser is not In the con- fidence of the membership of the Second District Executive Committee Of the Democratic Party. Neither is 1t in the confidence of any of the several candidates' avowed or probable for the nomination from the Second District of Alabama.
 The Advertiser. however. exercises the right to protest against the fai- lacy advanced that the committee at its meeting today is bound by the action of the State convention of 1906 or by the action of the present State Executive Committee in laying down rules and regulations for the primary of May IS. This fallacy would not he urged by anyone familiar with party history and party precedent.
 The Second District Congressional Committee Is not dependent upon or subsidiary to the State Committee. It is a coordinate body with it's own in- dependence. The District Committee can take its own action and that action is not subject to the supervision CT ap- proval of the State Committee.
 As a matter of fact had any one Of the nine district committees chosen to exercise its own right 1t could have called the congregational primaries Of last spring on some day other tkan that named by the State Executive Committee for the general primary. A combination of the State and congress sional primaries was cheapest and most convenient and the district com- mittees acquisced in the union of primaries ordered by the State Com mittee. But the district committees did not have to do this. One or all of them could have met ard called for separate congressional primaries.
 Whatever a majority of the commit tee prefers today will be ordered ir- respective of any action of the State Executive Committee. If plurality primary commends itself to majority of the committee then a plurality primary will be ordered. If the com mittee decides that the old fashioned Democratic doctrine which declares that a majority shall rrie, even in a congressional committee, shall be main tained. a majority primary will be ordered and thers is no man and no body to say tte committee nay.
