COUNTY BUILDINGS

of new county buildings the follow
ing from the Morrisville Messenger
relative to the new Lamoille county
buildings will be of interest
The bids were opened Thursday for
the work of constructing the new
Jail and county court house. The
general construction work goes TO
the firm of Nichols & Parker OF Es.
sex Junction for $685. The iron
work in the jail goes TO the Pauly
Jail Building Co., OF St Louis, for
$1,000, whose bid was $3.50 under that
of the Van Dorm Iron Works Co., of
Cleveland, Ohio At bid of $425,
the Sherwin Electric Co., of Burling-
ton, gets the work of wiring for cleo
tricity The heating, plumbing and
yentilating goes to II. T. Wheelock
of Burlington for $SO9l.
This throws some light on what
new county buildings for this coun-
ty would cost, with the fact borne
in mind that Bennington county is
larger than Lamoille and would re-
quire somewhat more extensive
buildings. There is no question how
ever, with these Lamoille county fig
ures before us, that good and sufllc-
lent and properly located buildings
for this county could be built for
$4,000. The old courthouse would
bring $4,000, and possibly more, leay-
ing not more than $4,000 additional
to be raised by taxation.
Every time that anything has
been said about erecting new build
ings the voters, especially in the
north part of the county, have been
told that it was a selfish Bennington
scheme and have voted against il.
Now let them look the facts fairly
in the face. For the past twenty
years the building has been CRITICS
ed and condemned by the county
grand jurors and the county judges
have been trying to fix 1t up so as to
squeak along During the last ses-
sion OF the legislature the senators
and representatives, disregardlng the
advice of the member from Benning-
ton, voted a county tax of six cents
on a dollar, amounting to almost
$4,000 to pay for repairs already made
and to make a few more. Two years
ago under similar circumstances
county tax amounting to $500 was
voted Only a few years back the
taxpayers paid another $4,000 and
little farther back. but still inside
twenty years there was another tax
Of $4,000, Practically most Of this mon
ey except that put into the new vaults,
has been wasted or at least has
been OF no lasting good
In other words the county has
paid the whole cost of new county
buildings without getting anything
for its money. The old building Is
even now under suspicion of the
state board Of health and in danger
of being ordered closed Still the
side judges are preparing to e
ahead and blow in few more thou
sand dollars of the county money II
Trying to make repairs" Isn't 4
about time the taxpayers Of the coun
lty looked the matter squarely in thu
face, or do they desire to continue 4
follow the advice Of Hapgood, Arch
bald and others and waste their mon
ey without result, just to prove tina
they can.

For Constipation
A Medicine That Does Not
Cost Anything Unless
It Cures.

The active medicinal ingredients of
RexaIl Orderlies, which are odorlesS,
tasteless and colorless, is an entirely
new discovery. Combined with other
extremely valuable ingredients, t
forms a perfect bowel regulator, mites
final invigorator and strengthened.
Rexau Orderlies are eaten like candy
and are notable for their agreeable
ness to the palate and gentleness of
action. They do not cause gripping or
any disagreeable effect or incon-
venience.
Unlike other preparations for like
purpose, they do not create a habit,
but instead they overcome the cause
of habit acquired through the use of
ordinary laxatives, cathartics and
harsh physic, and permanently re.
move the cause Of constipation Or ir-
regulator bowel action.

The negro was taken to the Jail

His only reason for being on the

THE ISSUES IN THE
SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN
Tampa Tribune.

The Pensacola Journal confesses to
a disappointment at the trend of the
Blount-Bryan debate in that city. 1t
was not debate at all, according to
the reports we read Of it, and We ar&
not surprised to note The Journal
declaring that it was in no sense in
structive and that no important issues
were preached or discussed.
The Tribune would remind The Jour
nal that, so far as the campaign has
disclosed, there have been no i'm
portant issues injected outside that Of
the personality Of the candidates. 1t
appears to be tacitly admitted that
the three candidates stand together On
the great national issues and the
state issues have very little to do with
the selection of a United States sena-
tor. They have all declared them
selves thoroughly in line with Demo
cratic policies and there is no ground
for dispute among them on these
points.
The only issues raised in the cam
paign to date, II they may be digni-
fed with the designation of issues, )"
being purely personal in their nature
are whether or not Mr. Blounts past
connection with the Louisville &
Nashville railway has so injected the
corporation idea into his mind that he
will be unable to give good service
to the people; whether or not Mr..
Bryan is old enough and settled enough
to be worthy of a seat in the United
States senate; whether or not Mr..
Stockton IS a safe man and one who
can be trusted TO represent Florida
creditably and wisely at Washington;
and other questions of similar weight
We have also been assured OF the
high legal qualification Of Mr.. Blount,
Of the fidelity to the popular cause
Of Mr.. Stockton and of Mr.. Bryan's
ability 70 pop a cow-whip with the

We have been gTaveIy warned on

Gates that his election is desired -

hand that Mr.. Bryan hopes by inherit

Of.
Some will assure US that John

the members of the board for this
compliment and will endeavor to see
that the trust imposed will never be
abused. I bespeak cooperation from
my fellow commissioners and will
ever strive to promote harmony and
cooperation in the discharge of our
duties to the tax payers of the county.
These duties are arduous and we, as
the ingoing commissioners face
duties which may tax US to the fullest.
Above all we must practice economy
in handling the county's affairs.
Il also wish to thank the retiring
board, Chairman Oerting and other
county officials for the hearty co
operation and the many courtesies
which they have extended me and my
fellow members of the old board"
APPOINTMENT OF OFFICIALS.

The Journal insists that the candi-

Florida Democratic voter must meas

The Tribune has not championed
the cause of any candidate in this con-
test because it believes that, in a cam

are involved, where the questions are
all OF a personal nature, the Demo-
Gratis of Florida ought to be permitted
to risk their own judgment without
advice from the press. The Tribune
lost the fight that it made for the
