Az to the Floater Legislative
Candidate

| fkS W III
Candidate
To the voters Of Rockbridge County
and the City Of Buena Vista:
am a stranger to most of-the Dem
ocraIic voters OF your County and City
and as ] am prevented from making Q
personal canvass By professional en-
gageinents, take this means of CON-
muricatlng with you.
The Democratic voters OF the Coun-
ties OF Bath and Highland have In
duced me to offer for the nomination
before the primary on August 9th, 1909,
for the House OF Delegates for the Dis
trlct composed OF Bath, Highland and
Rockbridge Counties and the City of
Buena Vista, upon the idea that under
all the rules of equity and justice Bath
County is now entitled to the dele
gate.
Highland County has had the dele
gate for several terms and now con.
cedes that Bath County lie entitled to
her turn.
Rockbridge County and the City OF
Buepa Vista have one delegate In the
House independent OF the other two
counties, and Is 1t not fair and right
that Bath and Highland should have
the foaterH This would be equitable and
give O representative to each section
OF the district. This 10 good policy for
the party, 1t promotes unity end har-
mony In the party and insures success
after the nomination.
The Democrats of Bath and Highland
Counties Insist that at the time the Dis
trict was formed 1t was distinctly UNI
derstood with the leaders OF the party
that the foater delegate should come
from either Bath or Highland.
Now, Of course, no one could make
binding contract to this effect; but if
this was stated at the time and was
used as an inducement to thus folm
the district for the fioater (and / am
informed from the very best authority
that there can be no question about
this, and By permission l refer to Hon,
Vim. A. Anderson as to these facts),
is 1t not best for the party that
the Democrats Of Rockbridge County
and the City OF Buena Vista live up to
this understanding and give the dele
gate to Bath County,
AS the candidate from Bath County
l present these thoughts for your con-
sideration, believing that the Demo
Gratis OF your County and City will do
what Is fair and right when you come
to vote. Respectfully,
JOHN w. STEPHENSON, !

CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNOR

Thursday of next week, August
9th, will bring to close the most
remarkable gubernatorial campaign
of recent years, campaign charact-
cried by the indulgence of Offensive
personalities that borders on vitu-
peratiou. No good can result from
such campaign. The followers OF
the defeated candidate cannot
help from bearing hard feel
ings towards his successful COM
petitor. Besides, it is wrong to
have such divisions in the Demo
cratic party. This line of conduct
is simply giving to the Republicans
campaign thunder, and they will no
doubt be wise enough to use the
same.
Four years ago, in the three-cor-
nered race for gubernatOrial honors,
the best of feeling prevailed among
the candidates, and when the pri-
mary had made selection the other
two defeated candidates accepted
the verdict with as much equanim-
ity as possible, and took the stump
for the success OF their former oppo-
nent. In the present state of affairs
such a course can hardly be looked
for, considering the charges and
counter charges made by the two
candidates. There is certainly
plentiful supply Of ginger" in the
present campaign.

 What property has he acquired?" Mrs. Latham asked. T thought he'd got all the buildings he needed, an more, too"

A MEXICAN HERRADERo,
First Day of Cattle Round-Up a Dfs-
 play of CharrO's skill.

E'1E8t Day or Cattle HOun0-Op DAb@
 play of Charro's skill.
 Preparations are being made in many ranches and haciendas for the annual ceremony of the herradero. or branding of the new cattle, which is a motive for a grand fete in all stock raising ranches and haciendas of the country, according to the Mexican Herald.
 The herraderos are held on big plains called de brote tierno. These plains are usually beautiful prairies, where grandstands are erected for the guests of honor, while other witnesses see the branding of the cattle and the ''suertes" executed by skillful horse riders from carts prettily adorned for the occasion.
 From early in the morning people begin to flock to the prairie where the herradero Is to be held. There are a number of tents or shades made with petates fixed to a single pole, around which people assemble and take their breakfast, which consists of cheese, milk and atole, with some piloncillo. There are also, under petate shades, several small orchestras. As a rule musicians who form such orchestras are men in white brooches and shirt, with very big sombrero, but with very little knowledge of music; they call themselves musicos liricos, be- cause they know nothing about music, but they claim to have 'muy buen oido Ia very good earl.
 These orchestras play all the time. until the amo, or owner of the hacien- da, comes with his party to see the herradero.
 The arrival of the amo Is saluted with enthusiastic vivas. This Is the signal for the charros who are going to take part in the herradero to ap- pear, salute the amo and get ready. These charros. as a rule. are young men of means. either relatives of the amo or owners of neighboring ranches and haciendas. They are all mounted on very fine horses, wear rich clothes and sombreros embroidered with silver and gold, and have rich saddles oi the kind called sillas vaquer embroid- cred all over with gold and silver.
 Cattle are let one by one into the inclosure, which has been surrounded by wire or cord fence. AS soon as an animal appears one of the charros runs after it. catches it's tail and by rapid turning of the direction of his horse the charro throws it to the ground. When the animal regains its feet other charros lasso it and take it to the place where it is to be brand ed.
 Some of the charros are extremely skillful with the lasso and the feats they perform cause the spectators to go wild with enthusiasm.
 The herradero lasts all day long. But this is only the first day, general ly a Sunday. After that day the branding of cattle is continued without much ceremony, if any.

Temperament md Disease.
 In former article some facts were stated concerning the different tenn peraments or types of vital action into which mankind is divided. These are usually reckoned as five, although the classification is not very definitely fixed Each of these types Is distin- guished by a predisposition to certain maladies and by special mode of re- action to the poison of the infectious diseases. Those of the lymphatic or phlegmatic temperament are sluggish and disinclined to exercise, their mus cles are soft and fabby, and there Is general absence of tone in the sys- tenn. The diseases from which they suffer are usually those marked by debility, and they have often to be keyed up with tonics even when not really i'll.
 Those of the nervous type are of small frame, active in mind and body, light eaters and light sleepers. Their tendency Is to diseases of the nervous system. They tire easily after squirt of work or play. but above all things T6SlSI Iu0 L0lnpLdllOu LO IcSOTIr to "pick-me-ups." which have fatally good effect for the time being. These people need sleep-but must not resort to drugs to get it-and restful vaca- tions.
 The jolly people of the sanguine temperament. with their f1orid com plexions their hearty appetites and good digestions. enjoy life as 1t comes, The diseases to which they are most liable are gout and premature hard ening of the arteries. with its conse-f quent heart and kidney troubles and apoplexy The regimen best adapted to ward of these maladies is a re- stricted diet. especially as regards flesh food. avoidance of alcoholic bev- erages. and the drinking of plenty of pure water to wash away waste ma terials.
 Persons of the bilious temperament are prone to diseases of the liver. gall stones. intestinal indigestion and cog situation. They are large consumers of food, but derive little enjoyment from eating. They are often much benefited by a course of dieting and consumption of mineral waters, after the plan developed to- a high degree by the German watering-place physi- clans.
 The strenuous type Is less distinctly a temperament than an actual ten- dency to disease There is little repar- ative power here: wounds heal slug gishly. the glands in different parts of the body often swell and sometimes break down. the appetite is small and digestion poor. Persons of this typs do not bear confinement well. and are prone to become consumptive unless they live much in the open air Youths Companion
