Prone to Prejudice.

In a Southern county of Missouri
some years ago, when the form of
questioning was slightly different
than now, much trouble was expert
enced in getting jury in "a MUIR
der trial, says the Kansas City
Star.
Finally an old fellow answered
every question satisfactorily; he
had no prejudices, was not opposed
to capital punishment and was gen.
orally a valuable find. Then the
prosecutor said solemnly.
Juror, look upon the prisoner !;
prisoner, look upon the juror"
The old man adjusted his specta-
cles and 'peered at the prisoner for
full half minute. Then, turning to
the court, he said:
Judge, durn if / don't believe
he's guilty"

The Editors Paradise.

Frederick G. Byer, a we'll known
Cleveland editor, told, at a recent
press banquet, newspaper story.
"a Medina editor died, and was,
of course, directed to ascend to the
Abode of the Just. But during the
ascent the editors journalistic
curiosity asserted itself, and he
said
Is it permitted for one to
have a look at-er-the other
place."
Certainly was the gracious re-
ply, and accordingly descent to
the other place was made. Here
the editor found much to interest
him. He scurried about and was
soon lost to view.
"His angelic escort got worried
at last and began systematic
search for his charge. He found
him at last seated before furnace,
tanning himself and gazing at the
people in the fire. On the floor Of
the furnace was a plate, saying :
Delinquent Subscribers.
Come said the angel to the
editor, we must be going.
You go on the editor answer
ed, without lifting his eyes. I'm
not coming. This is heaven enough
for me. .a-Louisville Times.

BYRNEs FOR CONGRESS.
Solicitor Byrnes of Aiken Will
Oppose MIR. Patterson For
Congress in Campaign
This Summer.

Aiken County is to have candi-
date for Congress in the field this
summer It has been rumored for
several days that Solicitor James f.
Brynes was considering making the
race and reporter Of the Journal
and Review interviewed Mr.. Byrnes
as to his intentions. He stated that
he had had the matter under conside-
ration for some time and had finally
decided to enter the race in the ap-
preaching primary; that at the
proper time he would through the
press and from the stump make
known his views upon public ques-
tions and present to the people of
the Second District his reasons for
asking their support.
Mr.. Byrnes will undoubtedly
prove a.strong candidate and has an
excellent chance of 'being elected.
In his race for Solicitor he received
$500 votes in the Second Circuit
against two able and popular gen
tlemen. The colnties composing
the second circuit, together with
Saluda, Edgefeld and Beaufort
counties compose the Second Con-
gressional District. 1t will take
6,4OO votes to elect a Congressman,
and if Mr.. Byrnes can succeed in
holding his vote of two years ago,
and from the counties of Edgefeld.
Saluda and Beaufort receive only
900 votes he would have a major
ity.
As Solicitor, Mr.. Byrnes has made
an excel MT record; according to
the report of the Attorney General:
one of the best in the State, and it
is thought that his friends through
out the Circuit will help him to Sc
cure the coveted promotion AikeSr

their consideration.

ple's money strictly in accordance
with the law and not the practice of
custom. will see that every dol
lar is properly expended.
/ am in favor of using economy
with immunity, which l mean to
say when there is dangerous place
in the road, or defective bridge,
that is unsafe to the public, it is
better to spend a little money in
such cases than to take the risk of
having to pay for broken leg
horse or damages to some injured
person, while waiting for the gang
to come around to make necessary
repairs.
I am in favor of giving every
man something in return for his
money, and have no favored sections
to work.
am in favor of working the
sand roads in the winter while the
sand is damp, and the clay road,
during the summer which will give
the time to pack, and form a good
solid he'd before the winter rains.

A GOOD REASON.
Leon People Can Tell You Why 1t
Is So.

Doan's Kidney Pills cured the
cause of disease, and that is why
the cures are always lasting. This
remedy strengthens and tones up
the kidneys, helping them to drive
out of the body the liquid poisons
that cause backache, headache and
distressing kidney and urinary COM
plants. Leon people testify to per-
manent cures.
M. j. Hamilton, of Leon, Iowa,
says: II begun to suffer from kid
ney trouble few years ago, brought
on no doubt by hard work. The com
plant started with pains in my back
and lameness in my hips and loins,
and finally rheumatism set in. The
doctor told me l had uric poison in
my system, and although l took his
medicine, got no relief. One day /
heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and
resolving to give them trial, I pro-
cured a box. In a short time after
beginning their use, I improved and
my general health is excellent at the
present time. think very highly of
Doan's Kidney Pills."

And the thoughts of men are
widened with the process of the
suns"
The ninth grade zoology class is
studying bat this week.
Ralph Thompson is absent this
week on account of farm duties.
Bryan, the peerless orator, visit
led Leon last Wednesday and gave
an interesting lecture in the after
noon to a large audience. All we
can say of him is that he is worthy
of his reputation.
Several members of the Lamont
high school and of Graceland College
visited high school last Wednesday
morning. An impromptu program
was arranged which was greatly en-
joyed. Mr.. Hopkins, the latin pro-
fessor and coach of Graceland's foot
ball team gave very pleasing talk,
then Mr.. Otto Voelker announced
the football game. Afterward Miss
Smith from Lamont gave an inter-
esting reading, and Miss Hazel Moore
spoke Billings of 40" in an inter
eStlng 1aShlOn.
The football game between
Graceland and Leon Wednesday af-
ternoon was very exciting, the score
being to 5. However the victory
may be considered Icons for La
moni had a much heavier team than
ours.
1 Miss Marie Goodman of near
Crown visited school with Lelah
Ryan last Wednesday.
Leland, Hebener is back in school
after an absence of many days.
Miss Hurst prepared a delightful
program for last Friday morning.
Miss Georgia Hurst played a relig-
ious medley which was very pretty.
Miss Ruth Farquhar sang There

companied on the piano by Georgia
Hurst. And Alta Hart read paper
entitled "If the Passion Play is Ever
Produced in America"
Our football team went to Cory
don Saturday morning where they
were entertained royalty until the
game was called at three o'clock in
the afternoon. Corydon's team
played fast game but Leon held
them down. The score was to 0
in Icons favor. Corydon had a
dandy bunch of rooters who were a
great help to the Corydon players.
