they may be expected to make rapid

MANY SEEKING NOMINATION
Report of the State Secretary Fails to
Show Democratic Candidate for State
Senator in This District Many Can
didates are Practically Unknown.

Secretary Of State Frear has sent out
to the county clerks of the state the list
Of nominees for state offices and for
congressional and senatorial offices. The
list will be interesting as there are
some names of candidates not even
known to the voters in this section of
the state. The list fails to contain the
name of a Democratic candidate for
State Senator in this district, but the
party leaders declare that this is an
oversight and that the petitions of
John F. Leigler, of Racine, were filed
in time to give him place on the bal
lot. The list as sent out from Madi-
son, is as follows:

1t is always a disappointment to the
officials of the reformatory institutions
when the parole officers are obliged to
return paroled prisoner to serve the
balance of his sentence and to the credit
of the influences which are brought to
bear on the prisoners before they are
paroled it may be said that this very
seldom happens. 1t may be that the
parole officers are prone to overlook the
first infraction of the rules on the part
of a paroled prisoner but if they err in
this respect they err on the side of
mercy and may be forgiven, for pris-
oner returned for violating his parole
is hopeless case nine times out of ten.

The question that is agitating what
might be termed the inner circles of
the city is whether the police really
mean to stop gambling or whether the
raid Of Saturday night was only a
sporadic outbreak on the part of the
force brought about because the COM
plants against one particular place
were becoming too numerous to ignore
entirely and that no further trouble
may be expected. The raid Saturday
night was certainly a very businesslike
proceeding I'll the way through. No
body tipped it off and there were none
of those remarkable escapes" which
marked another gambling raid not so
long ago and which at one time threat
ened to result in trials with much
graver issues than hearings in The po-
lice court ON mere gambling charges.

Answer.
In the meaning of our law the term
"signature' includes the making of
ones mark in the presence of an
other, who witnesses the touching of
the pen. Therefore, I am clearly of
the opinion that a man can sign his
name in the voters book, just as to
deed or will, by making his mark and
having it attested by a witness.

DOES BROTHER TWITTY WANT
TO FIGHT?

Dear Mr.. Watson: much
longer will we have to sit and listen
at the preachers beg the congrega
ton for mission money? We have a
Baptist preacher tending the church
at Buford, Ca, who lives at NOrcross,
Ga, and breaches at that place also.
You may have heard of him, Rev. T.
T. Twitty. 1t seems that he can't say
hard enough things about you. He
has just preached one of his mission
airy sermons, and declares that he has
Scriptural proof for building free
hospitals, and said that he would
meet any man on the question, and
he went on so far as to say that he
did not believe God called any man
to preach the doctrine you preach.
He told to a large congregation that
you had tried twice in life to paint
your hands with the blood of your
fellow man.
Now, Mr. Watson, if you have
space and time [ myself, as well as
other citizens. would like for you to
bring him down button hole or two,
for the general talk is, I wish Tom
Watson would get after the Rev. T.
T. Twitty.
Please answer in The Jeff, and if
the preacher denies it | will sign my
name in full. A FRIEND.
Buford, Ga.
Answer.
If Rev. T. T. Twitty is just spoil
ing for fight, and if he wants to get
the worst licking mortal man ever
received. let him go into the contro-
versial ring with Brother J. A. Scar
boro, of Magnolia, Ark I will ven
take the hide off Bro. Twitty with
neatness, despatch, and to the
Queens taste.
If he had rather debate with a
regular Primitive Baptist, let him
try his strength with my friend, Ell
der G. H. Cayce, of Martin, Tenn.
Elder Cayce is a debater from Wran-
gleville, and can eat Bro Twitty up
with both hands tied behind him.
The literal truth is, that the Bible
nowhere sanctions the crazy doings
of our Foreign missionaries. The
Bible plan of Foreign Missions is
very simple, and any one who wants
to understand it can do so. Christ
made no provision whatever for the
collection Of funds in the Home Field
to support workers in the Foreign
Field. The simple and rational plan
of Christ was, that every field should
support it's own workers. All the
Twittys that ever twittered cannot
successfully attack this proposition.

Answer.

AS I understand the new rules,
they grant proportional representa-
ton to minorities. Suppose that
your county should cast twelve hun
dred votes, and that each one of the
four candidates for Governor should
receive three hundred of them: In
that case, each candidate would re-
ceive one-fourth of the vote of your
county in the nominating convention.
If minorities are to be represented
in conventions, it seems to me they
might as we'll be represented in the
Legislature and in Congress. These
new-fangled rules will probably be
very unacceptable to the people, who
understood that, in the last cam
paign we won great victory for the
simple county unit plan, which has
been in use for the last thirty-one
years. t. E. w.

BERMUDA TRIP.
Beautiful Island To Be Inspected BY
Maine Party In March.

There are fine hotels at Bermuda, the
objective point for a large party of tour
lists in March with a chance for 100 from
Maine to join. The choice of five is al
lowed on this particular trip, the Fras-
cati, New Windsor. Imperial. Kenwood
Hall and the American w. r. Francis,
SAT Congress Street, Portland, has en-
gagged quarters for 100 on the palatial
steamer Orotava, and is making daily
bookings which is not singular when the
price. S671 10 is taken into consideration.
This sum does not seem adequate for
the trip, two weeks. but it is. That pays
railroad, hotel. taxicab fare in New York,
the steamer passage and hotel bills in Ber-
muda The average per day is low and
it simply is an instance of the wonderful
travel privileges of this generation.
There is more beauty in Bermuda than
any other island of any sea. 1t has a
charming climate, there is a fine class of
inhabitants, the natural beauties are I'M
surpassed and the island affords a variety
of diversions and amusements for the
stay of eight days. Better than all that
is the privilege to get away from March
in the bad two weeks of spring when this
climate is obnoxious even to the Esqui-
mauX.
Mr. Francis has complete details Of the
trip which may be had on application.

There are three general rates-the
per capita, the mixed, and the per

The first and second general rates
have five subdivisions each.
The per diem rates range from 81

Glass A, 9 cents; class 3, ~ cents;
class c, cents; class d, 3l% cents;

tors will also be paid for each farm
as follows: Glass A. 90 cents; class
&, 221h cents; class G., % cents; class
d, 27h cents: and class E, 30 cents.
These rates are in each case cents or

Census Director Durand in the adop-

rates of compensation. within the linn

Census law enacted by Congress.
The different classes of rates will be
so applied that in general the aver
age enumerator will earn substantially
the same actual amount in one dis
trict as in another, even though the
population may be much sparser in
one than the other, with other condi-
tions also different. Regard is paid
to the fact that prevailing wages and
salaries are higher in some parts OF
the country than in others, but, aside
from this, the Directors aim is to ad-
Just the rates so as to make the earn
ings of enumeratorS substantially uni

would not give sufflclent pay, the per
diem rates are prescribed. The rates
in general will be so adjusted as to
give a slightly higher average amount
to the enumerators than they re-
ceived in 1900.
Per diem rates of pay will be paid
to the census enumerators in the
sparsely settled rural districts of Ari-
IONA, California, Colorado. Idaho, Mon

We are so positive that our rem
cdy will permanently relieve con-
stipation, no matter how chronic it
may be. that we offer to furnish
the medicine at our expense should
it fail to produce satisfactory re-
suits.
1t is worse than useless to at
tempt to cure constipation with
cathartic drugs. Laxatives or cathar-
tics do much harm. They cause a
reaction, irritate and weaken the
bowels and tend to make constipation
more chronic. Besides. their use be-
comes habit that is dangerous.
CONSTIPATION is caused by a weak
ness of the nerves and muscles OF the
large intestine or descending colon.
To expect permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strengthen these
organs and restore them to healthier
activity.
The discovery Of the active prin-
ciple of our remedy involved the
labor of the worlds greatest re-

are exceedingly pleasant to take. being
