 week last week that l thought there was no need to write any thing from Moro. Cotton pick l ing and ginning is all the go in Moro.
 J. P. Butterworth, the genial manager of the Miller store. has been very sick with he.nacura but we are glad to note that at this writing is his old self once again.
 | Miss Lizzie Wilsford. the popu- lar school marm here, visited homefolks in LaGrange last Sun day.
 Mir. and Mrs. James L. Miller, of Aubry, were visitors in Moro this week.
 Miss Ila Gresham has accepted a position with B. J. Bruen & Co., of Helena, and has assumed duties at that place. We are sorry to lose Miss Ila, and wish her all the success in the world in her new field. l We are sorry to hear of the death of E. Gillenwater of Oak Forest, which occurred last Sat urday. Funeral and interment was at Goodwin. We extend our sincere sympathy to the bereaved ones.
 l B. w. Hudson was a visitor in Aubrey last Sunday, and while there attended Sunday School. He says they sure have Moro skinned in a Sunday School, and they have no banner either.
 
 I guess from present appear ances Jack Frost is due with his first visit pretty soon.
 The Moro Land & Lumber Co. here sure must be doing a nice biz as they have both mills going day and night and also an elec- tric light plant which lights up the town of Moro.
 There is a great deal of sick ness in the country now, and mostly all hematuria. This is the month of the year when it breaks out and presume Moro has it's share from all indications. Mrs. Ada Cunningham and Miss Rhoda Partin were visitors in Brinkley last Tuesday on a shopping expedition, returning to Moro Wednesday. Dr. E. J. Chaffin was a busi- ness visitor in Rondo last Sum- day. What, Dr. making a busi- ness trip on Sunday? That doesn't seem just exactly right. How about it Doc?
 Both gins at this place are runningAway up into the night and some cotton is being ham, dled. l just forget to get their report, but will try and remem- Der it ne, t week. EAGLE EYE.

The Third Term candidates favor ite reply to the telling rnanswerable arguments of Gov Wilson is that the latter's opinions are based mot on ac. tual knowledge and experience but by reading musty books on political economy" The Colonel himself at a tender age was put at hard labor!

SECOND CHOICE TO DECIDE
fanth District Republican Congress
sionai Nomination. WIN Sc Settled
BY Official Ballot Count.

Eau Clsire-Returns from the re-
publican primary first choice vote on
congressman, covering all the Tenth
congressional district except fifteen
Buffalo county precincts give Gilbert
son 4.06S, Trear 4,101. and from all
except Buffalo county give Ingram
2,S27, Twesme, 1.725.
While this gives Frear a lead of
thirty-three over Gilbertson, it is re-
ported the remaining precincts of
Buffalo county will probably put Gil
bertson finally ahead on the first
choice votes, as the eleven Buffalo
precincts heard from give him a
plurality of sixty-one over Frear.
So many precincts have made de-
fective returns of the second choice
vote that recounts and new reports

VITAL QUERY OF CAMPAIGN
VIII the Business Men Change Ger
talnty for Uncertainty and In
vite General Depresslon7

viii the business man change Ger
tainty for uncertainty?
This is the one vital question OF the
present campaign. If business men
do not want a repetition of the dis
tressing times OF 1893 they will vote
for the reelection OF President Taft
The decision Of the question will af-
feet the business stability of the coun-
try.
President Taft has given the coun-
try a safe. honest and efficient admin
istration. He has done much to
strengthen business at home and to
extend the foreign markets. He has
faithfully and impartially administered
the laws. 1t has been his constant
endeavor to improve conditions. In
the four years OF his presidency the
country has enjoyed unexampled pros
perity and his continuance in Office
means further progress. II he should
be succeeded by q Democrat no one
can tell how far disaster will extend,
VIII the business man exchange
certainty for uncertainty?
THIS is the vital question OF the
campaign.

OF President Taft in vetoing tarift
bills passed by the present Demo
cratic house, the farmers would al
ready be experiencing the beginning
OF the distress which is certain to
overtake them as soon as the Demo
Gratis are given an opportunity TO en-
act free trade laws.
1t is also a noteworthy and inter
esting fact that while the farmer has
been receiving high prices for his
products he has not been compelled
to pay as high in proportion for the
things which he uses upon the farm,
Statistics show that the increase In
the selling price OF farm products
has been 70 per cent, while the in
crease In the cost of manufactured
articles has been only IL per cent.
The farmer, therefore has not been
seriously affected by the increase In
the cost Of living He has had to pay
more for some things, but he has
received so much more for the prod
ucts which he has sold that the bal
ance is heavily in his favor.
This condition OF affairs must GER
tainly appeal to the farmer and con
vince him that II he desires con
tinuance OF the prosperity he now
enjoys he must vote for the re-elec
ton of President Taft He may be
dazzled by the glittering promises
held out to him by political aspirants
who oppose President Taft, but when
he sits down to reason out the stu.
alton he must see that those prom.
ises are nothing but words and that
the practical benefits which Presi-
dent Taft has afforded him and which
will be continued II President Taft
is reelected are better than all the
promises In the world.
For the farmer, 1t IL a matter OF
experience against uncertainty. The
farmers Of this country, who are In
telllgent sensible people, will not
hesitate in deciding that they will
vote for President Taft. In doing
this they will make their present en-
viable position secure beyond doubt.
A vote cast for any other candidate
will invite repetition OF the dis
tress which during the last Democrat
&c administration rested upon every
American farm.

Fond du Lac.-A cast has been
successfully struck of the death mask
made of Bishop Grafton by Robert
Powrie, a local sculptor, presenting
accurately the impression of the dead
prelate's features, showing the strong
lines OF his countenance and his i'm

ever, appears thin and more sharply
drawn than when the bishop was In
good health. The cast, it is expect
ed, will be used as a model for a
statue to be placed in the crypt of
the cathedral.

FARMERS WELL OFF
THEY OWE THEIR PROSPERITY
TO BENEFICIAL REPUBLICAN
POLICIES.
ANY CHANGE MEANS DISTRESS
Under President Taft's AdmInIstra-
tlon Agricultural Interests Have
Received Great Aid and consldera-
tIon-SaVed From Tariff Danger
BY His Vetoes.

There are millions of farmers in
the United States. Every farmer to
day is better of than he was four
years ago.
He is getting more money for his
crops and the value OF his farm lands
has increased. In addition to this
the national government is doing
more today for the practical assist
ance of the farmer than ever before
in the history Of the country.
For all the benefits which he en-,
joys today. for all the comforts and
conveniences which he possesses,
the farmer owes a debt OF gratitude
to William Howard Taft. Under
President Taft's administration the
farmer has enjoyed unexampled pros
perity. The contrast of the condition OF
the farmer under President Taft with
his condition under the last Demo
cratic administration is overwhelm.
ingly IL fayoY of the farmer of today.
Corn was then worth about rs cents
bushel as against rs cents now
and wheat has advanced from 35
cents to nearly dollar a bushel
Oats. barley, rye and other grains
have advanced in practically the
same proportion. These are facts
with which every farmer is familiar
ct is also true that under Presi
dent Taft's administration the amount
Of money appropriated from the fed
eral treasury for agriculture has been
greater than under any other admin
istration. About $15.000.000 year IL
now being appropriated and every
cent of 1t is devoted to practical aid
for the farmer. No other class OF
citizens receives as much considera-
ton from the government. Under
President Tafts direction efforts are
constantly being made to improve the
fertility of the soil. to add to the pro-
ductive quality OF the seed, TO in
crease the value OF stock and to rid
the country of insect pests which de-
stroy crops in the field and fruit in
the orchard II is no exaggeratlon to
say that through the efforts OF Presi-
dent Taft In these various directions
millions of dollars have been saved
to the farmer and that the value of
crops has been immensely increased.
On the other hand, the record Of
the last Democratic house of repre-
sentatives shows that as soon as the
Democrats came into power they re-
duced the appropriations for agricul-
ture and discontinued many of the
efforts which were being exerted for
the good of the farmer. In addition to
this, they passed a tariff bill. which, II
It had been allowed to become a law,
would have placed the American
farmer in competition with cheap for
.eigR labor and thrown down the bars
for the admission of foreign-grown
grain and other products. II it had
not been for the courageous action

They tried to arouse him, but
failed Then one by one they knelt,
