ASyyELL AND THE CONFEDER-
ATES.

Candidate Aswell will double CD
the pensions of the old soldiers
when he is elected governor. When
he was president of the State Nor
nal School he prevailed on the ma
chine or the ring with which he was
allied to double his own salary. be
is going to cut the other fellow 5
salary half in two to get pension
money. he says.-Guardian Journal.
If Candidate Aswell is not more
careful an dconservative in his es-
innate he will eclipse Sanders as a
promiser of things he can never
have to deliver.
1t is positively amazing to note
the exuberance Of the candidates
for the Confederate soldier. 1t may
be said briefly that the extravagant
and almost senseless promises OF
Aswell and Sanders and Michel as
applied to the Confederate Veterans
is viewed with more pity than con-
tempt. II Judge Hall has ever placed
himself in a similar attitude as a
promiser he can not escape crltl-
eism. The Confederate Veterans are
no mendicants, but those OF their
number who are in need should re-
eeive from the State adequate rellel
without any paradings or Wanting
from any candidate.
II may be said that the treatment
heretofore accorded to the Veterans
in need has not been commensurate
with the possibilities of the State
and It's magnificent resources.

HANDkERCHIEFS
OF LAWN AND LACE
Designs With Hand Worked Mon
0gram Are Preferred.

Occasionally round handkerchiefs are
to be met with. but these are apt to
have the appearance of dotlies. and
the old fashioned square shape will be
found the best. The scrap OF muslin
or lawn trimmed with lace or embroid-
cry today finds place in the ward
robe of every well dressed woman. To
make a handkerchief very fine linen
may be used. and lawn and even
muslin are pressed into the service.
The size will naturally depend upon
the owners individual taste, but q
square measuring from six to ten
inches across will usually be found
quite sufficient.
For small handkerchief It. will be
found best to make the hem quite mar
row. half a dozen threads drawn an
inch and quarter from the edge.
which is then turned in and hem
stitched. being about the most suitable.
The hem being thus disposed of. the
question which next arises is that OF
ornamentation.
Drawn thread work is always pretty
and appropriate and may take the form
of a narrow insertion running all
round. half or quarter of an inch
inside the hem. or. better still. a square
or more or less triangular piece Of
work in one or each corner The
threads for this should be drawn In
squares. and there are innumerabie
charming and quite simple patterns
which may be found in any book on
drawn thread work and which are sim
gularly adaptable to this purpose.
For those who do not care about
drawn thread work there is embroid-
cry, which may take many forms-a
design more or less elaborate. accord

WooDRoW WILSON.

In the Democratic State cpnVeh-
ton OF New Jersey held in9the city
of Trenton on October 3, there was
presented resolution endorsing
Governor Woodrow Wilson for the
Democratic presidential nominal
ton. Before it was submitted to a
vote Governor Wilson, who was
present. requested the withdrawal
sof the resolution, which he declared
was contrary 70 the spirit OF the
law under which the convention was
called.
To some ordinary man or Office
seeker. such an endorsement would
have been accepted with gratiiiea-
lion as we'll as glorification, but the
Governor Of New Jersey is appre-
ciative Of the amenities and the fit
ness Of things which should govern
men even in politics. Il is not
strange that Governor Wilson IS
growing in the popular esteem OF
his people.

RAINS HAVE PROVOKED
VARYING PREDICTIONS
Last Years Season Feared
By Some

The ways of the weather are being
anxiously noted by not only farmers
but many others who are more direct
Iy concerned with the outcome of the
present weather On many sides the
comment is being heard that the dis
astrous weather of last year is about
to be repeated.
The rains which began Friday at
noon continued on Saturday in even
more marked fashion than during the
first day. Sunday was a typically wet
day-humid atmosphere and alI-for
a greater part of the day. Yesterday
presented the some unsettled condi-
tions, though with less rainfall. Small
wonder, then, that the weather pro-
phe.s have gotten busy and are predict
ing everything from a flood to a drouth.
1t has been pointed out that the
present rains began in almost the exact
manner as did those of last year,
which brought such dire results to
farmers. There are many optimis. S,
however, who see nothing more in the
present rains than few badly needed
showers which VIII soon cease.
