Senator czosson Speaking For
Prohibition,

Senator Crosson made one of his
strong haracteristic- speeches for pso-
hibition at Addy's barbecue last Sat.
urday, with telling effect. He will
speak at Summeriand next Wednes-
dav and at Edmunds and Summit on
Saturday. He is invited to deliver
the annual address at the reunion OF
old soldiers at Prosperity on August
26th and to address the Pythians OF
EthereGye at their annual picnic on
August II.
Senator Crosson says, "that the
statement made by those who do not
favor prohibition, that prohibition
will not prohibit is but an assertion, a
travesty on our government, ludlc-
rous, a jaded spawned hobby, incred-
ulous by the liquor element and dis
provened by the records in the treas
urer's office. As the United States
government recognizes today and ill.,
forms US, that the prohibition States
have prohibited to the amount of sew
enteen million dollars of revenue.
Such 'twaddle' is too weak for argu,
ment. They tell you also, There Will
be more liquor sold in dry counties
and states.' Why then are the liquor
houses, breweries, and distilleries
fighting prohibition and spending
thousands of dollars to defeat prohi-
bition. You may be assured, that
they are open-eyed, as to their bust
ness interest. They stand on the side
of their own gain. Time and legisia-
rion will remedy this. The amount
that has been spent, or sent out OF
Lexington county, since the war,
would have built forty.four one hun
dred thousand dollar cotton mills. or
at least one mill in each school district
in the county and would have educated
handsomely our children, made US the
most prosperous people on the globe,
but where is our money to day? Gone
to enrich Western. Eastern and North
ern liquor houses, brewers and distill-
ers and been squandered and has de-
bauched our people and left them un-
educated, poverty strirken, weak
minded and very dependent" Is this
not food for thought? In the face Of
this, is there man 90 derelect to his
duty, that will rot be at the polls on
August 18th, and vote forprohtb1tien' ="

before the bill went into effect. Had
they not known that rates were in

There are number of deceptive claus
es which give everything desired by
Mr.. Aldrich's pets, and others which
are partisan in the extreme. Take
binding Irvine for instance. The west

with that Irvine. 1t is'on the free list.
But cotton ties and cotton bagging
which the southern farmer must use
to bind his crop and haul his cotton to
market, have high duty put on them.
This iniquitous action was called to
Mr.. Taft's attention in every possible
way, he was begged to interfere. But
no. A.word from him would have
stricken out the tax. But no. he
could have shown his sincere desire tc

Mr.. Taft will visit the south. The

him. Let him understand, however,
that those who flock to see him and
make noise over him Will not be all

IS STAUNTON SPLIT?

Ominous rumblings come from the
depths of the Staunton Spectator. That
newspaper editorially declares that the
republicans will be heard from on cleo
ton day, and that the democratic tor
ganization" has been paving it's own
way to disastrous defeat. The Spec
tator adds:
sThis is going to be strange election.
There is no use either mincing matters
or rem naming mum. Whether the or
ganization took hand in the wet and
dry fight in Staunton may never be
actually known. There are a great
many persons who believe it did, and
SO believing, are going to exercise their
own judgment as to what they will do
in the approaching campaign. This is
as sure as the sun shines. 1t may be
that the organization did not open its
mouth, the circumstantial evidence,
however, is so strong that it did, that
nothing now would convince some peo-
pie otherwise. There were 50 many
sudden and startling conversions from
drunkenness" to "sobriety," from the
wet to dry, that something more than
mere 'tmoral uplift" is credited with
the change. The organization has made
many independent democratic voters.
These will now do as they please"
Can it be true as the Spectator states
that the State democratic machine ac-
tually took part in the local option cleo
ton in Staunton ON the anti-saloon side
and that Staunton people in conse-
quence are holding themselves free to
bolt the democratic ticket?

special case. We do know that the

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
conditions, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send Tor circular free.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of tie kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcor1es that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swaulp-Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause Of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

The smallness of the vote in the
Democratic primary both in Staunton
and Augusta county, must give rise to
apprehension on the part of the DEM
ocrats, and should cause them to be
particularly active from this on.
There are in Augusta practically 1000
registered voters, about $500 of whom
can be relied on as voting. Of these in
the last presidential election Mr.. Bryan
got 1857 and Mr.. Taft 1887, the rest
went to the prohibition candidate. In
Staunton there are practically 1000
voters, of which Mr.. Bryan got 514,
Mr.. Taft 347, the residue went to the
prohibition candidate or did not vote.
In the present Democratic primary in
the county Mr.. Tucker got 1917 votes,
Judge Mann 305 votes. In the city Mr..
Tucker got 1866 votes, Judge Mann IS
votes. The smallness of Judge Mann's
vote in both county and city discloses
the fact that amongst those voting he
is not popular candidate. If, there
fore, some should fail to vote for him
who went into the primary, and those
who staid out should vote for Kent,
Mr.. Kent's majority here would lie
large.
We do not know whether the disaf-
fected Wet vote of this city, normally
Democratic, can be brought into line
or not. Just now it is doubtful, later
on it may be. The disaffection, we
hardly think, extends further than to
Judge Mann. The rest of the ticket Is
not charged up against the organiza-
ton in the same manner as Judge
Mann is. Nothing was omitted calcu-
lated to push him through, and he was
known to be entirely in the hands OF
the organization. 1t is going to be hard
to mix "oil and water" here. The pro-
hibition vote and the license vote are
two very widely divergent PROPOSE
lions, but when it comes to the Anti
Saloon League and the liquor dealers
of this section they have no place just
now in unison, and could not be held
together with rivets. These are things
for those in power to look after, mel
low if they can, assuage, calm down
and pacify, else even the rock ribbed
county of Augusta and city of Staun-
ton may give the organization jolt
calculated to draw s'claret" if not en-
tirely knock it out.
