that they formerly did ana nut same

which was q great saving to the State
instead of an expense, as Il am told

said Commission. M
As to the fourtl, amendment, rclat-
ing to the simpliacation Of Legislative
procedure by requiring but one read
ing Of a bill, Mr.. Barham thinks that
by retaining the present method the
members will become more conversant
with bills and that Tess foolish and
vicious legislation will be had.
TO those who are familiar with the
minutes Of the Constitutional conven-
ton it will appear ut once that Mr..
Barham has correctly and concisely
stated the reasons which prompted
that body to place the limitations In
the Constitution which the Office
holders now seek to tear out OF 1t. AS
he says. the very clauses which
the office-holders would blot out
were put into the Y Constitution for
wise purposes by a set OF patriotic
men. who had labored for twelve
months and more upon the formation
Of the organic law OF Virginia. He
further declares: St
We have good Constitution, said
by learned and eminent jurist to
be the best of any State in the South;
so do not let one WORD or letter OF It
be changed
In short, as Mr. Barham proves. the
Constitutional Convention simply had
the experience OF thirty four years as
a lamp unto It's feet, and 1t acted ac-
cordingly. For more than quarter Of
a century treasurers had wrongfully3
used the public funds, often misappro-
priating them, conducting their Offices
in the most unbusinesslike way, i'm
finance: for more than quarter OF al
century, Commissioners Of the Revenue
had considered their reelection para
mount to the proper assessment OF
property. depriving the State Of.
many thousands Of dollars; for more
than a quarter OF century a ninety
day session of the General Assembly
had been a wasteful and extravaganza
burden upon the State. made absolutely
unnecessary by the CONSTITUTIONAL Con-
vention when 1t reduced the work OF
the General Assembly by one-half.
It's for the voters to decide whether
they prefer to yield to the pleas OF a
band of selfish Office holders. working
for their own ends, or abide by the
deliberate decision of an unselfsh Con-
vention, impelled solely by a desire to
act for the welfare of the whole people.

people of to day, and along with
such things as rural free delivery of
mails, telephones and good roads,
the free transportation of children
to good public schools is likely in
in the near future to play an impor-
tant part IN the betterment of life
on the farm.
The great number of rural school
districts keeps most of the money
available for school purposes in each
district at so low level that it ID
difficult to procure efficient teachers,
The low rate of wages prevent the
employment of teachers who have q
normal or even high school educa
ton. Many of them have only the
limited education given by the
schools in which they teach, anC
many country schools have too few
pupils to stimulate the teacher to dc
his best work, or to provide compe-
tition for the pupils either in tn,
class room or on the playground
This is most discouraging to th'
teacher and pupils. Arkansas ha
over five hundred schools with tn,
enrolment of less than ten. Thes,
two faults of the rural schools car
be largely overcome by consolidat
ing small school districts into larg
er ones and transporting the child
ren who live too far to walk.
The funds of several districts gC
to one district, general expenses
are cut down, and better teacher
employed. At the same time the
number of children in attendance
increases, for the pupils find the
school more interesting.
If We are to improve our agriculture
and compete on the best terms with
our rivals in the worlds markets,
if we are to make the condition Of
country life attractive enough to
keep the bright boys and girls on
the farm, we must give Immediate
attention to the needs of the rural
schools. And this matter the
farmers have in their own hands -

The boys then stood on the guard
railing on the trestle ready to jump
when the engine sped near them. As
the train got within ten feet of the
boys, Sugars jumped from the trestle
down an embankment- Allison waited
an instant and when he attempted to
jump his foot slipped from the guard
rail and he fell on the track in front
of the engine, which ran over him,
crushing him to death.

EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

Are you one of those people who
think that vices and virtues. or what
commonly go by those names. are
north and south poles?
Because they aren't.
You may think that you can put all
the vices in one box and label them
vices and all the virtues in another
and label them virtues " and set them
side by side and that they will never
jump over into each others compart-
ments.
But they will.
We have as great a person as Gold
smiths authority for character,
"e'en whose failings leaned to virtues
side"
And we all know an unselfshness
that is so extreme as TO be selfish in
it's appropriation of all the selfabne-
cation in sight.
And there is also a less popularity
recognized example, in the sympathy
that is SO exaggerated that it is de-
cidedly more a vice than a virtue.
Which is what 1 started to talk
about.
1t is this sympathy that starts and
circulates and signs petitions to COM
mute the life sentence of the convicted
murderer.
There is in a Massachusetts prison
a man named Jesse Pomeroy who is
undoubtedly the worst type of degen-
crate. While hardly more than a child
from their homes and cruelty tortured
and mutilated them.
He was put in prison, but before
long was released through the efforts
of sympathetic woman-I am
sorry to admit it is more apt to be a
pathy into a vice. This time, besides
| mutilating and torturing several more
children, he killed three

shown recently when his request for a
cat as a comrade and pet in his soli-
tude was granted, and he tortured the
animal to death at the first oppor-
tun1ty. And yet every now and then
| movement to get his sentence COM
muted.
1t is this sympathy that calls JUS
| tlce cruel when the good of all de-
mands that some man should be made
| an example of.
1t is this sympathy that completely
spares the modern substitutes for the
rod-and thereby completely spoils the
child.
1t is this sympathy that refuses
| to step on the worm that DESTROYS the
beautiful trees and vegetation
Real genuine sympathy is about the
most beautiful quality a man or wom-
an can have, but this sloppy, mushy,
short sighted, indiscriminate emotion
| that dares to call itself by that name
| isn't sympathy.
| How can it be anything good when
IL places little present suffering
| above much future happiness?
| How can it be anything good when
| it places the welfare of a single indi-
| vidual above the welfare of the COM
munity?
It's just plain hysterical sentimen-
| tality.
And If, whenever you meet with it,
you will characterize it by that name,
and treat it as such, and avoid it as a
contagious disease, you may pat your
| self on the back for having helped to
diScredit a very discreditable imposter

Did you get one of those little
penknives which we gave away last
Tuesday with a fifty cent purchase?
Nearly every one who came to the
store bought enough of the tempt
ing eatabIes which we had in stock,
to get one of the knives and to
say that people were delighted with
them would be putting it mildly.
We may have another lot of them
soon, or perhaps some other useful
article. So you'd better watch

tally during warm weather when

WORK AND WORRY
ROB THE NERVES
If Your Blood Cannot Constantly
Make Good the Loss You
Will Haze Nervous
BrenRdoun

Every person is endowed with certain
amount OF nervous energy which is being
constantly drawn upon by the work,
worry and responsibilities of our daily
life. 1t is also largely drawn upon dur
ing the after-efects OF fevers.
Unless these drains upon the nerves
are replaced by nourishment from the
blood, the nerves become overworked
and exhausted and some form of nervous
trouble results.
The value of the tonic treatment with
DR.. Williams Pink Pills lies in the fact
that these pills do not stimulate the al
ready exhausted nerves to keep up their
work for a time longer but that thew
keep the blood pure and red and in that
way fully replace the nervous energy that
has been used up.
Mr.. G. G. Wilson, of r. F. D. No. 6,
Decatur, Texas, says:
From my eighteenth year suffered
from nervousness. 1t was brought on
by exposure and overwork and lasted for
twenty years. l was often confined to
bed for weeks at a time and there seem
ed to be depression of all of my en-
ergies. For years I couldn't sleep at
night because OF smothering spells and l
couldn't get my breath until sat up l
suffered from pains in the back. l gen.
orally weighed about 140 pounds but was
reduced to ITO pounds.
Il was living in Missouri when taken
sick and was treated by several doctors
there. They finally told my father that
he would have to move to Texas as
could not live through another winter in
Missouri. The change of climate did not
help me much. was treated by several
specialists but none gave me much relief.
They all pronounced my sickness as ner-
vous trouble. After trying numerous
medicines my father wanted me to use
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The pills
seemed to hit my case and I began to
feel better right away. / took several
boxes of the pills and was cured.''
As the health of the nerves depends up
on the blood, DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
equally effective in neuralgia, St. Vitus'
dance, sciatica and nervous headache.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists. or will be sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
