Never in the history of this county
have the people taken a keener or
greater interest in the legislative
race. Never have they wanted to
know the exact standing OF the can
didates on all of the important issues
of the campaign as they do now. In
the past several elections for egisla-
tive Office the people have paid little
attention to the men Offering for the
legislative race and they have not
demanded of them to know their real
position. Men have been elected
whose real political complexion was
not known until it was too late Can
didates have been sent to Jackson
who have not represented the people
The people are not going to take
any chances this year, and when the
stump the county,as they
will surely do, they will have to come
out in the open, they will have TO
state what they are for, who they
are for and why they are for. The
people want to know and they are
going to demand it.

A Graat Curse.

Cncof the greatest curses Of this
intellectual age is the great lack Of q
proper education of our g.ri. j. ,-v
practical affairs Of every day life.
They AL want to be school lnarms,
governesses or the wives Of rich men.
Housework which should form The
basic principle of our economic life,
is shunned by them as something de
grading. A young woman will stand
behind a dry goods counter fourteen
hours day for a mere pittancc-not
enough to clothe her-lose her health
become anaemic and untitled for the
performance of her natural duties,
rather than accept position as u
domestic where she would have a
comfortable home. good health and
become properly fitted for the duties
Of a wife and mother.
The spiritual advance made by man
is seen chiefly in this, that SO much
of the money he earns goes to the
ministry OF refinement, education,
establishment, TO the wife and chill
dren he loves. But the woman sees
no money FOR her toll. Her sufficient
her ample reward is IN a husband,
content, happy, growing in grace; in
bounding TO gracious ma
furity.
There is just as much reason that
a man should work within the house
as there is that a woman should work
outside the house. He is just as well
qualified to work indoors as she IS to
work outdoors. 1t is just as much
his duty to do the one as it is her
duty to do the other. But it seldom
or never occurs to his wife to ask
him to do it, or to think that he
ought to do it.

peace in fame or honor, or even love

PAY HOMAGE TO THE DEVILS
Curious Ceremony In China Which Is

Once every year. during the first

out the ceremony by offering up vali

unearthly noise by beating gongs

TO the devils can do so by payment

These lights are for the benefit of the

able to see their way about on dark
nights-a little attention which it is
to be hoped these maritime demons,
appreciate Having finished this per-
formance, the person on whose behalf
1t has been carried out goes away

not lose any of his family throughout
