BuncOmbe.

Col.Roosevelt who has been
criticised even by Eugene V.
Debs, in.this campaign, for reck-
less demagogism, has never been
guilty of greater buncombe than
the utterance at Patterson, n.
J., from which is clipped the
following:
Il believe in protective tariff,
but wish to see the benefit get
into the pay envelope of the
working man as we'll as appear
among the dividends. For this
reason | advocate the creation
of a National bureau whose bus
mess it shall be to investigate
protected industries and see that
the protection does really ben
eft the workingman."
When the English tariff was
as protective, and as sodden
with graft as ours, they reform
ed it by striking out protective
schedules and it was found that
only few articles paid a sub
stantial revenue to Great Britain
while a large number of sched-
ules meant protection of special
interests from competition. The
way to reform the American
tariff is not to create new ma
chinery for the perpetuation of
the graft. That Col. Roosevelt
well knows. But he does not
want reform. His whole course

The Perfect Laxative
For Elderly People

pie use, to the exclusion of all other
remedies. Trustworthy people like A. B.

say they take it at regular inter-

do now. You will do well to always
have a bottle of it in the house. 1t is

Age has it's attractions no less than
youth in a more serene and quieter life.
But 1T is this very life of rest without
sufficient exercise that brings with it
those disorders that arise from in
activity. Chief of these are chronic,
persistent constipation.
Most elderly people are troubled in
this way, with accompanying symptoms
of belching, droWSineSS after eating,
headaches and general lassitude. FIRE.
Guently there is difficulty of digesting
even light food. Much mental trouble
ensues. as it is hard to find a suitable
remedy First of all the advice may be
given that elderly people should not use
salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters
or any of the more violent purgatives.
What they need, women as well as men,
is a mild laxative tonic, one that is
pleasant to take and yet acts without
gripping.

A Sad Accident.
The following article is taken

The following article is taken
from the Honey Grove, Texas,
Signal, and the little boy who
was drowned was a nephew of
Mr.. Fayette Davis, of this place:
One of the saddest accidents
which has occurred in Honey
Grove was the drowning Of Car
roll Davis, the 12-year- old son of
Mr. and Mrs. l. M. Davis, in the
Robnett pool in the west part of
town, Friday afternoon.
When school was dismissed
Friday afternoon Carroll Davis
and Willie Bray went with Del
mer Yeager to the Robnett pas,
ture to drive home cow belong
ing to Delmer's father. On the
way they passed the pool, and
not knowing its depth, Carroll
Davis and Willie Bray pulled off
their clothes and attempted to
wade across it. About half way
across the pool there is a step-of
into about ten feet of water.
Neither of the boys could swim
and when they stepped off into
the deep water they sank. VIII
lie Bray held his breath and came
to the top of the water and man.
aged to stay on top until help ar
rived but Carroll sank.
Messrs. Ben Parrish, Barney
Harris and Ben Sam McCleary
were the first to arrive and i'm
mediately went into the water
after the boys, physicians being
summoned in the meantime.
Willie Bray was brought to the
bank Immediately and suffered
no bad effect as a result of his
experience. Carroll Davis body
was under the water twenty or
thirty minutes before he was To-
Gated and brought out. Every
effort was made to resuscitate
him, but to no avail, the sparks
of life had fled.
Funeral services were conduct
ed at the Methodist church, of
which Carroll was a member, by
his pastor, Rev. C. H. Buchanan,
in the presence of one of the
largest crowds ever gathered in
this edifce, following which the
little body was borne to lakewood
and tenderly laid to rest. |.
This taking away almost in
the twinkling of an eye of a
bright, happy boy who gave
promise of much usefulness, is
perhaps as sore an affection as
could be visited upon parents
and home. All of our people SYM
pathize with the stricken ones as
deeply as it is given unto hearts
to sympathize and pray that He
who can speak comfort to bleed
ing hearts may be near them in
their loneliness and sorrow.

Request of County Chairman.

Editor County Record:
From time to time we read in the
public prints of unpleasant episodes
and disgraceful scenes which mark
and mar many county campaign
meetings throughout our State. This
is the result of forcing State politi-
cal issues into county politics. This
is not as it should be and our best
citizenship condemns such proceed,
ure. State politics should not be
made an issue in our county cam
paign and any candidate who bases
his candidacy on these issues and not
on his qualifications to fill the office
and his own home record should be
dismissed IN the first primary.
In view of the conditions outlined
we make request of our county
chairman that he call meeting OF
all the candidates of our county, or
or before the morning of the 14tt
and that all candidates be requested
to pledge themselves to answer no
questions on the stump as to State
political issues.
