ment within the Republican party

Abbott knows better than that, or,
If he does not, he should select other

write:
The total campaign expenses OF
Judge Baldwin, the successful can
didate for the governorship OF Con-
nectieut. were just 1900. This is
the smallest sum for which the gov
ernorship was ever obtained in the
memory OF the present generation.
Although his personal means are
large, and although the chairman OF

Judge Baldw declared that it was
matter OF principle with him not to
contribute more than one years sal

the History of the Mccormick

company sent a man all the way
from Chicago to my fathers house
that they might get these facts d.

are faithfully written up there and
due credit given to all persons who
in any way had any important part
in the getting up Of the famous
reaper.
1t has been repeatedly told at Mr..
McCormick's expense, and in his
prese2ce. that he never gave Mr..
Buchanan anything for the idea"
which was indeed the secret OF the
machine itself. But Mr.. Buchanan
was at the time and till his death a

idea" was doing d eighbor o kind.

thought OF receiving remuneration

Thus. we see that too many were

WASHINGTON AND LEES PART
Many Alumni Hold Places of Trust
and Honor in Nation

The following letter from Mr.. W.
G. Mcdowell appeared a few days
ago in the Richmond Times Dis
patch, in which he recounts some of
the achievements of Washington and
Lee alumni in the field OF high en-
deavor, together with some refiec-
tions concerning the environment
IF Lexington and Washington and
Lee. Mr.. Mcdowell pertipently
says:
In your issue OF October 6, in an
editorial article on the South in the
United States Senate, you made an
error which | know is unintentional,
and believe you will gladly have me
correct it.
In speaking Of the Senator'S who
are alumni Of Washington and Lee
University. you banned three-Owen
m Oklahoma; Poindexter of Wash
iugton, aud Foster of Louisiana,
emitting George f. Chamberlain of
Oregon, who took both his academic
and professional degrees at Wash
iugton and Lee University. Cham
berlaiD is so gifted and so loyal to
his alma mater that we are unwill-
ing for him to be left out OF any
thing that affects our institution.
The late and lamented Senator w.
j. Bryan of Florida, was also an
alumnus of Washington and Lee Uni
versity. You will note that Sena-
tors from Washington and Lee Uni
versity almost entirely, if not alto
gether, took their academic as well
as their professional course at Wash
ington and Lee University. We
generally manage to see them all the
way through.
Mr.. Editor, again, there is kind
OF senatorial atmosphere about the
little town in which Washington and
Lee is located that seems to be
catching. With Lexington as CEN
ire and a radius of ten miles, you
may describe a circle, which will
include the birthplaces of eight
United States Samuel
Houston, the President of the Re-
public OF Texas, Senator from Texas,
and Governor of Texas and Tonnes
see; James Brown, Governor OF
Louisiana, Senator from Louisiana
and minister for ten years to France;
R. Fl. Adams, United States Senator
from Mississippi; George Matthews,
Governor and Senator from Georgia;
John Brown and William Lindsay,
Senators from Kentucky; Samuel
Mckee, Senator from Alabama, and
General Andrew Moore, the first
Virginia Senator west OF the Blue
Ridge.
Seven of the natives OF Rockbridge
have been Governors OF eight South
ern States; all are Washington 'anC
Lee alumni; so 1t is to be seen tina
the mountaineers of whom Washing
ton spoke in the. highest praise as t.
their valor in war. have occupied NJ
humble stations in the councils O
our Southland.
} 1t would take up too much of you
valuble space to enumerate the Con
gressmen and judges from Rock
bridge; suffice it say that they al
drank from the same fountain of ed
ucation. which is now enjoying it
greatest height OF usefulness, witt

WHAT CURES ECZEMA /?

We have had so MANY inquiries lately
regarding eczema and other skin dis
eases, that we are glad to make our
answer public. After careful mvestiga-
ton, we have found that a simple wash
of oil OF wintergreen, as compounded IN
d. d. d., can be relied upon. We would
not make this statement to our patrons,
friends and neighbors, unless we were
sure OF it-and although there are many
so-ealled eczema remedies sold, we our
selves uhhesitatingly recommend D. D,
d. Prescription,
Because--We know that it gives IN
slant relief to that torturing itch.
Because d. d. d. starts the cure at
the foundation OF the trouble.
Because--lt ccanses, soothes and
heals the skin.
Because-lt enables nature to repair
the ravages Of disease.
BecauseThe records of ten years Of
complete cures OF thousands of the most
serious cases show that D. D. d. is to-
day recognized as the absolutely reliable
eczema cure.
Drop into our store to-day, just to
talk over your case with us.
