The new directory of the Southern

livered to the subscribers in Ameri-
Gus by Manager E. w. Tullis. The
new directory is attractive in appear
ance and contains all the changes and
corrections in listings that have been
made since the last directory was
printed.
The number of ne Wnames appearing

are constant additions to the number
of subscribers in Americas and the
vicinity and the telephone develop
ment is continuous.
The Southern Bell Company has
evolved a plan whereby it furnishes
telephone service to farmers and other
rural residents on an economical ba-
sis. AS a result the telephone is now
the rule rather than the exception, on
the farm and farmers in all sections
of the state are installing telephones

condition.
He will claim that the only times
he met Miss Linnell this fall were at
her request, and to offer her friendly
advice.
He will admit buying cyanide OF

will deny that he said he wanted to
kill "a female dog about the house
or that he asked Hahn to keep the

He will produce the original vial

Breezelets.


Several days ago when California
rose up and told the ladies to go
as far as they liked, we began to
wonder what Williamson people
Thought Of the transaction. So we
set about to find out, and, in series
OF little interviews with those whose
opinions count most, we uncovered
many interesting things.
Among those interviewed we found
surprising number who approved
OF the action OF the Californians, and
expressed the hope that the good
work go on These had evidently
considered the matter from all sides
and had their minds made up, but
the curious fact is that they all adj
vanced the same set of reasons why
they we're in favor of the movement,
ana mentioned the same benefits
which they hoped would accrue, be-
cause Of It. to the ladies and others.
This dull monotony was not no.
ticeable, however. in the statements
OF those who opposed the equal
franchise movement The most be-
wildering variety prevailed here. Be
low are some Of the statements We
elected

enough reasoning power to sit down
calmly and figure out the right way

OF their own, ami are blown about
this way and that by every wind OF
doctrine They lack stability OF con-
viction and of judgment"

or wrong, is practically impossible. :

The Doctrine of Democracy.

In an address at the democratic
banquet at st. Paul on June l, 1911,
Joseph W. Folk defined his idea of
democracy in these words:
Democracy is religion; the re-
ligion of brotherhood among men,
and of equal rights for all. 1t is a
religion that would demand more of
the Golden Rule, and less of the
rule of gold in government and in
our 3aily lives. 1t would not array
class against class but would pro-
tect the rights of ali by having each
respect the rights of the other. 1t
would not attack wealth honestly ac-
quired, but would wage unending
war against the privileges that pro-
duce tainted riches on one side, and
|undeserved poverty on the other side.
It would protect property rights, but
would recognize the fact that prop
erty rights are best protected by pre-
serving inviolate the public rights.
1t would not combat men, but the
evil that men do. 1t would seek
as remedy for existing evils, not
less government for the people, but
more government by the people. 1t
would place conscience above cunning
and the public good above private
greed. 1t would not offer man an
advantage in the shape of a subsidy,
or bounty, or protective tariff, enab-
ling him to make money at the ex-
pense of his fellowmen, but it would
assure him that it would give no one
else such a special privilege over
him. 1t would guarantee to all an
equal opportunity to live and labor
and enjoy the gains of honest toll.
This isaaJemocracy as understand
It." -

We notice from the newspapers
that Attorney Harry Scherr, of the
law firm of Sheppard, Goodykoontz
4 Scherr of this city, is prominently
spoken Of as candidate for the Re-
PUBLICAN nomination for Attorney
General of this state.
Mr.. Scherr is thoroughly qualified
for this position and, If republican
is to be elected, we know Of no bet
ter man for the office. He has re-
sided in Williamson for five or six
years, and has gained prominence
and reputation in his profession. He
no doubt would make very excel
lent candidate for the republicans.
1t is we'll known that Mr.. Scherr
is the son of Ex-Auditor Arnold c.
Scherr. Of Charleston, and who was
at one time prominent candidate
for governor of this state.
