Driven to Distraction

You are nervous when the nerves
are poisoned by impure blood or
starved by thin, watery blood. In
such cases no nerve tissue need be
created, but the blood has only to
be restored to a normal, healthy
state to make the nerves strong
and well.
To make your blood rich and red
take DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Give them a thorough trial and for
get all about your nerves. The
chanceg are that your nervous
troubles will vanish when your
blood is made perfectly healthy.
Mrs. Fred A. Hampson, of Pleas
antville, Ohio, says: "My trouble
was nervous debility and when /
began taking the pills / was life
less, had no ambition or appetite,
was very weak and had lost con-
siderablein weight. Ny complexion
was sallow, showing that my blood
was impure. ANY little thing irri-
tated me. There were severe pains
in the back of my neck, like some
thing heavy pressing against it,
and when these attacks came on i
would have to lie down. / expert
enced relief after taking the first
box of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and / am now enjoying the best of
health. !"

NOT WORRYING
OVER PARCEL POST
Express Companies Do Not Believe
Their Business Will Be Hurt to
Any Great Degree.

I'VE are not losing any sleep over
the introduction of the parcel post"
said a local express man today,
''and | for one, do not think 1t is
going to hurt the express business to
any great extent. So far, we have
not felt any effects whatever from the
new system. and although it is a lit
tie 500 to express an opinion on the
subject | do not think there will be
many express company employees
laid off Of account OF ii. 1t will. of
course, hurt the business to a certain
extent, but ii may be only temporary.
1t will have to be demonstrated first
whether the system is a success, and
until the time comes when we have
to give up to ii, we are going to con
tinue on in the same old way without
worrying"
In this city the mailing of parcels
has not yet assumed any large pro-
portions, II not having been found
necessary as yet TO put on any extra
men. Bundles that are small enough
are given to the regular mail car
rier. while the larger ones are de-
livered by one of the substitute car
riers. AS the mailing increases from
time to time, extra men to handle the
parcels will have to be put on, and it
is likely that wagons will have TO be
furnished to take care OF the goods
before long.

tended and much interest was mani
fosted IN the proceedings. Amos Faalk
presided. Considerable time Was do.
voted to a discussion Of the auto hose
truck situation. Some OF the mem
beers thought that the city had done
only half It's duty in appropriating a
thousand dollars for the auto truck
fund. One member said he had been
assured sone time q that the city
Council would give $4,000. and he dg.
ured then that the Ryneal Company
would give $4,000 and the remaining
$4,000 would be raised by subscrip.
ton among the citizens. That's the
reason, he said. that he and other,
went into the auto project so earnest
ly.
II was pointed out to him az the
meeting, however. that adding togeth.
err the amount OF cash on hand. the
city appropriation, and the amount al
ready subscrbed tassuming that the
sub descriptions will be paid II would
leave a balance Of $3.50 to be raised
for the truck complete the estimated
cost OF which Is s5.450. The members
who stand for the auto proposition
firmly believe that the money can all
be raised and they are going ahead
and do It, Those persons who have
subscribed to the fund are kindly ask
cd TO pay up when called upon. which
Will be very shortly.
At all events the contract with the
Norwalk Motor Cad Co.. this city
will be signed UP this week.
The contract price for the machine

Was Named Temporary Presi-
dent By Clerk Harris.
REPUBLICANS REFUSE
TO HELP ORGANIZE
Democrats Name French For Presi-
dent But Republicans Refuse to
Join In and No Election Is Made
House Organizes But Soon Ad
%journs.


CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. s..
Senator Gray Silver, Of the Fifteenth
district, presided over the Senate at
the opening of the regular session
today. 1t took that body just sew
enteen minutes to show the hands of
the two parties.
The Democrats were ready to pro
coed with the organization Of the
body for the regular term, but the
Republicans blocked every effort by
refusing to name a candidate for
president or vote for q candidate
named by the Democrats.
The House got down to business at
once and organized for the session.
and now awaits the action of the
Senate.
At eight minutes after twelve
o'clock Clerk John T. Harris called
the Senate to order. He read the
constitutional precedent for the call
ing of the Oldest member of that
body present to preside until it was
organized.
The clerk stated that Senator Sill
yer was the Oldest member in con
tinuous service, he having been elct-
ed in 1906, and called him to pre-
side. Mr.. Silver took the chair
amid great applause.
After prayer the clerk called the
roll as certified to him for the ex-
traordinary session. All were pres
ent but Kidd and STROLLER, who have
been called home on account OF
death and sickness in their families.
President Silver called for nomi
nations for the office of president,
and Senator S. V. Woods, of Philippi,
nominated Senator French, of the
Seventh district for the Democrats.
Senator Marshall, of the First dis
trict, said in the absence of Senator
Strother that the Republicans had
no name to present for president.
A vote was hen called for, and it
resulted in French receiving thir-
teen and fourteen votes being regis
tered against him. President Silver
declared that there was no election,
and a motion to adjourn until Thurs
day prevailed.
The nomination by the Democrats,
and the refusal of the Republicans
10 name a candidate or vote for
French place the Republicans in a
position opposing organization and
preventing legislation. The Demo
Gratis are ready to organize and pro
coed to business.
At a caucus of the Democratic
senators held last night a letter was
received which was signed by all of
the Democrats in the House and 9th
er prominent Democrats here approx
ing the course pursued by the Dem
ocratic senators during the extraor-
binary session, and assured them Of
their hearty support.
The House organized by electing
the officers chosen at the extraordI-
nary session. j. Guy Pritchard, OF
Marion county. became the clerk to-
day, succeeding Clerk Nicely, who
held the office by virtue of his cleo
ton W years ago. The House ad-
iourned until 2:3O o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.
Senator Silver presided with grace
and fairness owe the Senate, and af-
ter adjournment was the recipient of
many congratulations.
