ANXIETY WAS FOR THE KEG
OVercharge a Small Matter, but Gus
toner Did Hate to See Good
Material Hurt.

Every nail-keg in the store had Its
ing overtime, and mittens and muf-
flers were stuffed in bulgy pockets, as
their owners drew closer round the
big, rusty stove.
The door opened noisily, letting in a
blast Of the storm raging outside, and
in its wake followed Rufe Blevins a
giant wood-chopper, whose good ma
ture and ready wit made him a vel
come addition to the store circle.
The loafers moved a little closer to-
gether to make room for Rufe on a
soap-box, but he marched past the
friendly circle, pumped an empty
molasses-keg down on the counter,
and drew a stained bill from his
pocket. which he held out to the pro-
prietor Of the store
An expectant grin went round the
circle, for Storekeeper Jones had the
reputation Of never wronging himself
by overweighing or undercharging
The merchant adjusted his glasses
and looked expectantly from the bill
to the wood-chopper

A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
Il suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia, but although incapacitated
at times for my housework, | did not
realize the gravity of my condition till
was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was so bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
| was a widow and had a child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that | wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, l happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from man who had been
affected in the same way that | was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
flied by leaving of coffee and using
Postum. | grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
My health began to improve imme'
diately The headaches and neuralgia
disappca ], gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back TO me. Greatest
OF all. my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to hy out of my mouth
Then | again made application for

Governor Sends Special Message to
House.
To the House Of Representatives OF
the Eighteenth General Assembly Of
the State Of Colorado, April 2S, 1911
Gentlemen:
There has been transmitted to this
House, Senate Bill No. 324, entitled,
. "a bill for an act relating to banks
and banking" When introduced it
was intended to comply with the plat
form pledge to enact a bank guaranty
law. It was amended and changed to
such an extent that it no more re-
seubles the measure promised to the
people, than night resembles day.
The platform pledge upon this sub
iect was in these words: Fourth
Bank Guaranty-We demand a state
law by which this states banks shall
be required to establish state guar
anty fund, for the prompt payment to
depositors of any insolvent state bank
and denounce the last Republican Sen.
ate for defeating a bill to that end
which received the vote of every Dem
ocratic Senator"
The bill now contains no provisions
whatever for such a state guaranty
fund. Do you suppose that the people
are going to accept such measure as
compliance with the platform
pledge?
The Eighteenth General Assembly
has been in session for one hundred
and thirteen days; twenty-three days
| longer than any previous session for
thirty years, and yet not one platform
pledge has been placed by this Legis-
| lature upon the statute books. Is there
any excuse for this failure?
The pledges were made in the con-
vention of 1908 The same platform
was re-affirmed in the convention, by
/ the unanimous vote of every county,
| 1910. after a thorough discussion, by
hut one. of this state. We were elect
ed upon these solemn obligations. Are
| the people going to be deceived again?
| Are we to affirm the perfidious saying
/ that platforms are made to get in on
but not to stand on" Are we going
| to be recreant to the trust and con
/ fidenCe in us reposed? Are we ready
/ to repudiate our agency of the people,
and again demonstrate that represen-
| tative government is a failure2 He
who thinks that such a betrayal can
be made without censure and condem-
nation, little understands the trend of
events now taking place in all parts
Of the United States in behalf of the
rule OF the people.
/ Abraham Lincoln once said: You
can fool all of the people sometimes;
/ you can fool some of the people all
/ the time: but you can't fool all of the
people all Of the time"
warn you now that an avalanche
Of public sentiment is coming, as sure
as right is right, against those who
refuse to redeem their contracts OF
honor
urge you, in the interest of honest
government, to make this bill, and all
others concerning the platform
pledges, conform to the promises we
made to the people.
Respectfully submitted,
THE GOVERNOR.

News From Pisgah.

Pisgah, July June ended with
the most severe heat ever experienced
here. Both man and beast and the
advanced corn tagged and Withered
under the terrible heat. Yesterday, a
fine rain fell along the Wateree River
but did not reach here. Without
rain in few days, the advanced
corn will be severely injured. Cotton
is beginning to show the want of rain
although it is holding up remarkably
well. Watermelons are late this year
and the Fourth will come and none to
eat.
Peaches are very few and scatter
ed. Some places have none, so the
housewife will have not too many to
can.
1t is a pity that we have not a can
ming factory here to can all kinds of
vegetables and fruits. Such a busi-
ness would handsomely pay. Mr..
A. B. Stuckey of Sumter has demon
strated that this can be done, judg-
ing from the fine pears that he can
ned last season and put on the mar
ket. They are certainly fine. The
output of a factory of this kind
would have ready sale, for who would
not rather have the home products
than the imported stuff. Like home
eggs and watermelons, they are al
ways the best.
The marriage license law goes into
effect today to the pleasure of all
sane people. 1t is to be hoped that
more safeguards will now be put
around getting married. This State
