Work For Temperance.

The Arcadia, (DeSoto County, Florida,
News of June s, speaks thus of the
voluntary temperance work there by ex-
Mayor Woods, of this city, while he was
on recent fraternity trip to that state
ION last Wednesday night all the prayer
meetings of the town merged into one
big union meeting to listen TO the
temperance address by Hon. c. E.
Woods, OF Richmond, KY.
This meeting was not only an evil
dence of the great interest our people
take in the temperance cause. Ii also
testiies to the great expectations we
had TO Mr.. Woods Our brightest ex-
pectations were realized. The personal
appearance of the man, his fine flow OF
refined diction, his earnestness, his first
handed experience and his taetful state
ment of conclusive facts held every one
friends and foes to his cauSe-rapt
attention.
'Mr. Woods based his address upon
his own experience, as mayor of large
Kentucky town, that drove the liquor
traffic from its midst and prospered
thereby. He based his hatred of liquor
upon the devastation it has wrought in
his own family and upon its corroding
and wrecking influence upon his fellow
men. He is devoted to this temperance
work and is giving his life and money
to the cause. He travels and lectures
at his own expense. He has delivered
addresses in Florida at St. Petersburg,
Tampa, DeLand and Arcadia, as well as
in New York City and indianapolis. At
DeLand he offered his service gratis to
the temperance cause in Florida. He
did this in the presence Of our Florida
Anti-Saloon League superintendent. His
is a work of love. He is accomplishing
great good. May Gods richest blessing
rest upon his Unselfsh efforts"

auto drivers Of ibis section and travellers
along the Lexington pike Taking the
initiative among Bluegrass counties Of
the State in the matter of model road
building, Fayette county is now engag
ed in the experiment of constructing
two miles of asphalt binder road accord
ing to the most modern method of road
construction, which the present county
administration has undertaken with the
view Of demonstrating the superiority
of this modern type of road over the old
macadam pike.
The road selected for the experiment
is the muoh-traveled Richmond pike,
for two miles, extending from the city
limits to the Water Works gate, paral-
leling the Mcdowell gpeei way and in
front Of historic Ashland the former
home of Henry Clay. Local autoist:
claim that the road after crossing the
river is bad and greatly inferior to the
Madison county division. From the
river to Lexington is one Of the worst
pixies in Fayette county.

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.

The first campaign publicity state
meut, those of Senators Martin and
Swanson, of Virginia, filed in accord
ance with the campaign publicity law
passed at the extra session OF Congress,
were made public Tuesday by order
Of Secretary of the Senate Bennett.
They had been kept secret because the
act contained no requirement for pub
licity of individual statements filed by
candidates for the Senate and House.
Both Senators Martin and Swanson,
showed that on the day their report
were filed which was exactly the re-
quired 10 day before next Thursday,
when the democratic Senatorial primary
election will be held in Virginia, they
we're far below the maximum $4,000
which Senatorial candidate may spend
to secure his election. Each had dis
bu-sed $500. OF this 5000 was re-
quired OF each candidate to help defray
expense OF the election. Senator
Martin spent $S4S for newspaper space
and Senator Swanson 1882 In ad-
dition, each said he expected to in
cur further expence of several hun
dred dollars for space and editorials. "
They declared that other small amounts
doubtless will de spent by friends for
publicity, and that they will meet any
reasonable expense of this sort.
Senator Swanson engaged hotel head
Quarters at Richmond $50 week and

account would be Small"

ducted-as all should be-decently and
in order. Men quietly approached the
booths, prepared their ballots and after
depositiug them went their way. The
unseemly conduct, too often in evidence
on election days, has been eliminated.
There was, however, an earnestness
which was wellmarked, and while the
suffragans exercised their privilege of
voting for the candidates Of their choice,
a good feeling prevailed, and there were
no heated colloquies or attempts on the
part Of the champions of the four
candidates for the Senate to influence
or divert voters from their purpose Of
casting their ballots according to their
preferences. While the voting has not
been spirited, those qualified to partici-
pate in the primary election have exer-
cised their privilege, and it is believed
by those who have been near the poll
ing places during the day that nearly
all of the democratic suffragans will
have cast their ballots by the time the
polls are closed.

Attacks British Government.

Calcutta, India, Sept. "A series
of violent attacks are being made
upon the British government and
King George in particular as a re-
suit Of the announcement here OF
the plans for the Kings visit to In
dia in December for the holding of
the Durbar at Delhi.
The trip of the King and the roy
al escort will cost approximately
500, 100000. Most of this expense
will have to be betrayed by the In
dian government and large portion
of the country is now suffering from
drought, famine and plague.
The cost of the Durbar and the
grand review alone will be nearly
S6,000,000, and this means but two
days of the months stay his males
ty will make in India
The native press suggests that the
King omit his visit, as the Hindus
are already sufficiently impressed
with the power and majesty of the
British Raj; instead, that the
100000 be used to relieve
suffering.
The Delhi Durbar" is the most
magnificent and splendid of the mys-
tic oriental ceremonies. The climax
Of the ceremony is the reading Of
proclamation by the native chiefs
declaring the British monarch their
king-emperor This proclamation
will be read in the presence of 1907
900 people and thousands of British
troops transported from all parts of
the world.
4 new liner, the Medina, planned
to be one of the finest-ships ever
launched, is being built for his ma
jesty to use on the voyage to CAL
cutta. The flower of the British
navy will escort him. Many thous-
ands of troops will be moved to In
dia. The Indian war Office must find
the funds for all these expenses be-
sides entertaining the visitors dur
ing their months stay. Despite the
seemingly incredible estimate Of the
cost, officials declare that it is con-
sentative.

REFUSED THE Aston GOLD.

In these days. when some people
speak tboughtlessly OF ministers OF the
Gospel, and, if not in plain words, often
imply that the shepherds are more 10
search of filthy lurre than souls, atten-
tention should be called to the fact that
Diogenes, without his lamp, could to-
day find men among the wearers Of the
cloth who cannot be tempted in the
conscientious discharge of their heaven
ly calling. The prophet Elijah sup
posed he was the only true worshipper
during one of the darkest periods Of
Israel's history, and was doubtless sur
prised when told there we're seven
thousand men in Israel who had not
bowed their knees to Baal 1t is proba-
bly, so now, and for the benefit Of such
as have a decided propensity for casting
contempt upon a calling which deserves
the respect and encouragement OF all,
it should be stated that two ministers
of the Gospel have refused Colonel As
tors gold and will not do violence to
their consciences by uniting him in
natrimony to Miss Force, although the
fat fee of one thousand dollars has
been offered. The ministers referred
to are Rev. Edward A. Johnson, pastor
OF Baptist Church at Newport, R. l.,
and the other, Rev. F. L. Brooks. OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church Of
Little Compton, N. ]. It was said by
One who spake as never man spake
that Of all men born OF women there
had not risen one greater than John
the Baptist At the time these words were
spoken the latter was in prison for hay
ing told Herod it was unlawful for him
to have his brother Phillips wife, whose
husband was then living. The Baptist
lost his head, being faithful even unto
death. 1t is refreshing to know that
some, armed with bis spirit, are still in
the world.

issues.

governors, and for years successful
manipulation of the political campaigns
of the populist party, was found dead
early yesterday in one.room howell,
in Denver, where she had evidently

talent and ability and her promises of
a brilliant career, according to her own
confession, were blasted by her craving
Tor drink. She said less than year
ago that politics had caused her down.
fall and drink her ruin, and that late
caucuses and meetings." had started
her on the down grade. She began her
career as an actress in September, 1878,
appearing in Esmeralda. From 1885
to 1895 her friends included governors
and prominent politicians. She acted
as leading spirit in tue populist move
ment, which swept Colorado in 1891
and 1892. and resulted in election OF
David H. Waite as governor. Mrs.
Dixon lately had been in abject poverty
and lived by begging.
