THE primary election is but seven days
off. and as the time draws nearer for the
democrats of the state TO select standard
bearers the interest becomes more in-
tense. The fight nov in progress in the
commonwealth between the supporters
of Messrs. Tucker and Mann for guber-
material honors is waxing warm, while
the contest for the position of lieutenant
governor is not, apparently, attracting
80 much attention. Mr. James K.
Oaton. Who for years has been the able
representative Of this city and county
in the legislature, and Mr.. r. Taylor
Ellyson, the present lieutenant governor,
are the contestants for this position.
The Gazette has heretofore expressed Its
preference for the Alexandrisn, while
at the came time it appreciates the
ability of Mr.. Ellyson and the services
he has rendered the party. Mr.. OalOn
has been untiring in his lsbOrs ever
since he entered the legislative halls,
and his many friends throughout the
state hope majority Of the democratic
party will show their appreciation OF his
worth by honoring him with this posi-
ton. He ia still engaged In making a
canvass of the state, and wherever ne
goes his personality and thorough
acquaintance with the affairs OF the
state have appealed to voters. He is
naturally. born representative man, pos
sessirg all the ability and energy Tor
the position he seeks, and the people
of the Old Dominion will make no mis-
take 10 selecting him.

Yesterday, it is understood, the Senate
rates on Lumbar we're agreed to and the
high House rates on gloves. The SEN
ats lumber rates are higher than the
House rates on rough lumber, but
lower than the House rates upon dressed
lumber. So far as can be ascertsined,
the bill has not been improved In con-
ference except by the reduction OF the
leather rates aud placing hides on the
free list. Senators are now discussing
the measure fscetiously, showing how
the different interests have been taken
care of. This, for instance, is partial
analysis OF the measure made yesterday

tures: the Waren.Smoot rates on ra"

feller.Stsndsrd Oil rates on products OF

The cheering which bera'ded the set

them to remsin one hour continually 10

Bingviile aint heard much from the outside world recently and the outside world aint heard much from Bingville owing to the fact that this town has been what you might call snow bound for moren two weeks. Tn other words, the in- habitants of Bingville has went into their holes and sort of denned up until spring opens.
 There is more snow on the ground in Bingville and vicinity at present than there has been during 1 the past many years. Most places lit is four feet deep and in other places where its dfifted, its over a lpcrsons head. Dad Henderson, our oldest irlhabitant says that he re- members during the winter of 1859 when the snow was much deeper than it is now, but then Dad is old and childish and he has a poor memry for deep snow or anything else.
 What has our road comnishion- CTS did concerning this snow with reference to their dooties as road commishioners7 Answer = they l have did notfling-the road in the vicinity of Bingville has not been broke out according to their swore
 dooty and as result nobody cant l get into this town nor out of it nei. ther. Some of our most respected citizens aint even cleaned the snow offen their sidewalks and when a person desires to go to the postoffice , or anywhere else, he has to waller
 in snow up to his arm pits.
 About the only place in town
 which can be reached is Hen Weath- ersby's store-there our citizens collect night after night for social lintercoarse and flow of souls to dis cuss the current topicks of the day
 and make vallyble suggestshions as
 to how the U. S. government could
 be run to better advantage.
 l Hen. Weathersby, prop. of the general store, says that sinct the
 snow has been so deep he aint sold
 enuff goods to pay for the wood he lburns in the stove in order to keep lthe loafers warm.
 l Miss Sally Hoskins, our talented lpoet writer, recently has rote fine lpoem for the Bugle entitled Beau Itiful Snow" which we declined to
 print with thanks being as we cal tkilated 1t would not meet with the Iapprooval of our subscribers. Snow lin small quantities may be booti-

It looks like snow as we go to press, bot goodness knows we don't need nc snow--we have enuH snow on the ground to last until late in the spring. Ham Wilson let Harve Hines, our tcnsoriai artist, give him hair cut last week. We don't know why In thrndera- shion Ham is having his hair cut right in midwinter, unless he is in love. Ruraor says that Ham has been paying attenshion to "a widow down Hard scrabble way. If Ham ketches his death of cold by having his hair cut she will probly continue to be a widow.
 Mrs. Seth Dewberry, wife of our town constable, has returned home after weeks visit with Mrs. flame Miller of Millersville. Mrs. Dewberry would of visited away longer but Seth wrote and commanded her to come honie--he said he was so tired cooking his own grub that he had nearly starved to death.
 Brent Williams visited this office one day last week and promised to pay us g on subskripshion some day this week, which he has not did. We are not sur prised, however, because Brent has been promising to pay us this g next week for the last three years.
 Cy Hoskins couldn't seem to get 2 fire started in the stove tother morning, so cy bored on about a pint of kero- sene to help the fire along. It helped the fire along considerable, blowing the lids ali offen the top of the stove and sinReinR Cy's whiskers for him. Cy says kerosene is a turrible spitetul thing when it explodes.
 Abe Witherow swapped horses with Doc Livermore, our talented horse doc tor and human speshalist, last week. Next day after they had traded, the horse that Doc got laid down and died. Doc says he calklates it was agoing to die before he traded 1t. Doc also says that Abe will haft to be purty sick man hereafter to seizure his professional service.
 Miss Phonicia Hiiderbrand was to of sung a solo in the church choir last Sunday, but owing 10 a attak of sore throte Phonicia's voice was badly kracked and so the solo remained un- sung.
 Cid Smalley bit on a nail he found in a plug of tobacco he bot in Hen Weathersby's store one evening last week. Gid says he gest they put most anything which they find laying around in plug tobacco so they won't have to use SO much tobacco. He says he oncet found a collar button in a plug of to- baeco, also a pants button and other artikles too numerous to mention.

Late Going to Prsss

The Bingville Bugle is little behind hand in coming out this week owing to the fackt that just as we was about to go to press we throwed the sprinklin' can at the office cat which was walking accrost a page of type, missing the cat and pi-ing about a quarter of page of type which we had to go to work and set tip all over agin. It would of ben some comfort if we had of hit the cat which had better keep out of the way hereafter unless it desires to participate in funeral.
 If there is anything makes us sick at heart and discouraged-makes us feel as if we had lived in vain--it is to go and upset lot of news items just about the time we are ready to go to press. Rev. Moore, the beloved pastor of Bing- vile, just happened in just after the acksident and hi- presence was the only thing that kept us from expressing our emoshions.
 We shall endeavor to get the .Bugle out in time next week as usual

NO; don't get here often enough TO

but the bread seems to have rough
edges which scratch and cut the hands

Mr.. Morton then laid down these
general rules, which he said it would
be we'll for young Americans to study
carefully:
Do the small things well.
Be civil.
Do not be afraid to work overtime.
Give and take in dealing with 9TH
ers.
Make it a rule to get along with
people.
If you know more than they do,
let them discover it; you do not have
to tell them.
1t is poor policy for you to assert
or even admit your knowledge is
superior.
You must be loyal.
Fidelity is one of the noblest traits
of man, and whatever interests you
make it rule to be faithful to it.
When you cannot be loyal to your
employer, better find another.
Be natural; do not pretend to be
something you are not.
Do not be too independent.
urge young men to learn to con-
troll themselves.
If for while your independence
seems menaced, bear in mind that
many a good man has swallowed his
pride and in time greatly profited by
his self-control.
Self-control is necessary to success
The chief ingredients of success are
hard work and common sense; en-
lightened and willing application to
whatever you undertake.
Whatever you do, do it with al
your might.
If you play it fair, if you are mar
of integrity, if you are a decent citi
zen, if you do your best, / am sure
great fame and fortune will wait or
you.

GROWTH OF INTEREST.

There is great arousement on the
Purity question. Many of our best
and greatest men and women have
become public champions of this
cause.
Physicians have become thoroughly
alarmed over the extent of venereal
infection, and are publishing the trag-
ical facts in untechnical language that
OUR homes and people may be pro-
tcctcd from this scourge.
Five years ago, prominent medical
journals would not print scientific
articles on this subject; now the
press is taking up the reform and
educating the people in purity work
Our schools are also joining the
active forces. Leland Stanford Uni
versity, Vassar College, Ypsilant
Normal, colleges, high schools, and
public schools are taking up the work
of instruction.
There are others. The w. c. T
u. has been a pioneer in purity work
Women's clubs, pulpits, a correspond
ence league, correspondence school
national and international organiza-
tons for special phases of the work
and local societies innumerable are
springing up to push the reform.
The psychological moment" has
come in the fight for a white life.
This activity is most encouraging
Let us, however, not overlook this
God-given opportunity to the church
and her Sunday-school. Without hei
remedial agencies we build on tn,
sand. LET us occupy till He come.
