LEMON DEALER HANDED

Objected to Even Fifty Cents Per Week
AlimOny.

New York, August ?<.-Failing 10
pay an alimony OF 80 cents a week as
ordered by Magistrate Corrigan, in
the Jefferson Market police court,
Vincenze Calderone was sued yestelG
day in the Supreme court to pay a

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
Unframed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Euctachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness
IS the rebuilt, and unless the infiam-
NATION can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of The mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

BACK TO THE LAND-A WARNING
(Washin gton Post.l

washington POSL.)
The rapid growth of population, as
indicated by the figures now slowly
trucking through the census office
goes far toward proving that our cities
are oyercrowded All await with in
terest the figures for. the rural dis
tricts.
The overcrowding Of cities and taa
great misery and suffering which this
entails from the major premise upon
which sociological enthuiasts base
their widespread advice that intensive
culture of small tracts of land in the
country is the way out for these SUI
ferers.
AT bottom this advice is good within
certain limitations and the advice is
doubtless we'll intended. A movement
from oyercrowded cities back to some
form Of agricultural life might amei-
iorate hard conditions of life. Bat
heavy responsibility rests upon all
who are prominent enough to COM
mand attention and whose station IN
life gives weight to such advice, es-
pecially when they utter it in the gen
eral terms in which it is SO often
given.
The very large majority of people e
whom such advice comes as a ray OF
light amid lives of unhappiness and
misery are in no degree physically,
temperamentally, or financially ftteI
to conduct the farming business sue
cessfully or to endure the unsupported
hardships and privati0ns which a bad
start in such a differnt mode of life
entails.
The unfortunate feature of the whole
matter is that there is no form of
life so susceptible of bright painting
and deluding descriptions as is the
ideal country life; while the very con
ditions and qualifications which are
requisite to make it at all approach
the ideal, the WORKOUT, disappointed
and enervated city failure is in nowise
able to supply.
II it is contemplated to tear up a
city-bred and city-dependent man ana
family by the roots and to transplant
them ilGo country surroundings to
cope with new and discouraging con-
ditions, then that undertaking must
be first thoroughly systematied and o.
ganized.
1t is time to modify such exr,
berant, tempting and delusive coloring
and to use much more moderation and
practical truthfulness in painting the
picture with greater regard to val
ues For as it is, there are too manv
who have already stood up under as
much Of the worlds buffetings ana
disbursements as their hearts, minds
and weakened bodies can stand. Those
whose self-imposed mission is to send
across to such a word of courage and
cheer ought to see to it very clearly
that their good intentions do not cause
lstill greater sufferings.

THE COUNTY UNIT PLAN.
(Rome Tribune-Herald.)

The county unit plan of selecting
delegates to nominating conventions
does not appeal to that sense of fair
ness that should animate the minds Of
electors. 1t is not the best method OF
exploiting the elective franchise. 1t Is
un-American, and not in accordance
with the spirit of our Institutions The
county unit plan means election of del
egates from each county to conven-
tion called for the purpose of nominal
ing a candidate for office. Under is
workings, occasionally minority candi-
dates are placed in office.
This is similar to the plan followed
in the election Of president and vice
president of the United States But
there is some excuse for its use there.
Each state is sovereign in itself, 81
though an integral part of the Ameri-
can union. 1t is not altogether iHaf-
propriate that the voting power Of
each state should be exercised in that
way, although even in this case the
method has its disadvantages. A not
able instance of a minority president
was the case of Rutherford B. Hayes,
who was declared elected by a major
Iity of one electoral vote, although SAM
uel j. Tilden had nearly 100000 por-
ular majority.
Among the states, however, a county
is a mere political district formed for
the purpose of convenience in the al
ministration of laws and local govern
ment. They are not sovereign in any
sense, and have to unit plan is an I'M
| fair dissemination in favor of sections,
and frequently amounts to defeat of
the popular will. In the election just
past, Hoke Smith will have a very
vote is concerned Then again in the
sixth district r. w Hardwick has a
considerable majority of delegates
and only four popular majority. IN
| the eighth district Tribble appears 10
be the winner over Howard because
he carried the county of Ebert on tn ;
face of the returns by four votes. 1t is
not known whether he received ma
jority of the vote throughout the dis
trict or not.
In the Seventh district the majority
rule prevailed, although an attempt
was made to adopt the county unit
plan.
The county unit plan is usually ia
vored by politicians who are afraid Of
q free expression of the popular will
They seem to think it opens the gates
for manipulating the vote in favor OF
minority candidates, and it does. 1t
is a relic of bygone days when the old
convention delegate system prevailed
Unuder the recent plan of nominations
by popular vote in primaries, conven-
lions and delegates are mere formal-
tiles who assemble to formally de
clare the will of the people. There is
really no use whatever for a conven-
tion where the majority vote rule pre-
walls. Why not just declare the Jesuit
and let it go at that. The convention
is an unnecessary feature. The county
unit plan ought to be abolished al
over Georgia, and the method of non.-
mating candidates for Offices by prima-
ries, and direct vote of the people
adopted, the candidate receiving the
majority of the votes being declared
successful.

ROOSEVELT, THE REFORaTER.

Theodore Roosevelt is once more
openly in the center of the pueblic
| thought of the nation. He is the most
talked of and the most interesting pub
lie man in the entire country Presi-
dent Taft pales into insignificance be-
side him.
Although he is not making ostensibly
a political tour in his trip through the
| West, nevertheless the people wac
hear him speak regard his utterances
as such. He is representing a well
known weekly publication, and is
speaking what he thinks as he goes
along, Crowds of eager listeners
throng the places where his tram
stops, and his reception is such as
are usually given to presidents or to
members of royalty.
What does it all mean? Colonel
Roosevelt has left little doubt in the
minds of those who listen to him as
to what his purposes are. He lis wag-
ing war for civic righteousness
throughout the nation. Colonel Roose-
welt is an insurgent by nature, and he
is the mouthpiece of the militant por,
ton of that section of the Republican
party. His purpose is to awaken the
West to militant opposition to cor
pOrate interests, where such corpora
tons are exceeding their rights in the
nation.
1t goes without saying that the
American people are backing the co.,
onel The reception given to him at
every point along the line indicate that
He should be able to gauge very ac-
curately when he has finished his
tour the temper of the people of the
West with regard to his policies and
the manner in which he is this year
managing those policies. He is only
preparing for the battle which he vii!
wage in New York when he returns
from his western trip
The real struggle will occur when
he returns to New York state to take
up the fight against the bosses in that
state His recent defeat at the hands
of these bosses has been a carton call
to Colonel Roosevelt, which he has
answered and which will mean a fight
to the finish between the two factions

VACATION AND DURING II
kenneth 11arl'iS.)

About three weeks ago l sat and
dreamed
Or meadows green and widely
spreading trees
And cooling doves and gentle drontn3
bees
And babbling brooks where speckled
beauties cleaned.
Time moved by imperceptible de-
grees,
was distract, impatient, i'll at ease,
And my accounts with glazing er-
rOrS teemed.
Only few more days Will pass"
said,
And l shall leave the smoky town
be1ind
Country delights will safe my soul in
stead
Of this Internal, dreary, daily grind :"
Sucn chump ideas I'd got into my head
For such a fair fools paradise l
pinned.
Now with glad and grateful heart /
say,
Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow, comes
the boat,
BY ten O'Clock at least I'll be afoat
And speeding to the city, bright ana
gay.
There can have my drinks once more
frappe
And take in my accustomed table
d'hOte
Instead OF drinking stuff that sears
my throat
And eating grub that tastes like
mouldy hay.
What madness seized me that Left
the joys
Which no man with a lick of sense
should lack?
Why was l drawn by all those stale
decOys
That lead man each year his trunk
to pack,
TO search for flies and heat and dust
and noise?
Well, thank kind heaven, shall soon
be back!"
