Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the Injurious

usually glad to lend their testimony

the meal was over, bought a package

whole family were so we'll pleased

used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-

Postum for a short time. she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was well and

There is nothing more charming than

that, with all the evidence Of shattered

TO THE PEOPLE
Outlines His Ideas Of The
Duties And Qualifications
Of A Circuit Judge.
o the People of Sharp County:

| VI COURSE yUu hlloW tldt uurlQg
the present year the term of office
of the Hon. j. w. Meeks, as circuit
judge of this, the 18th Judicial Cir.
cult, will expire, and that on the
25th of the present month the Dem.
ocratic Primaries throughout the
Circuit will be held at which his
successor will be nominated. You
are also aware that | am seeking the
nomination at such primaries to
succeed Judge Meeks. Therefore, it
is only fair to you that should out.
line to you my ideas as to the requi-
site qualifications such Judge
should possess.
In my opinion no man should be
elected to this high and responsible
position who is not morally clean,
strictly sober at all times, scrupu.
lously honest, possessed of executive
ability that he may be able to con-
troll his courts and expedite bust
ness, possessed of a judicial mind
that he may know how to apply the
law to the facts as they arise, in.
stantly and without hesitation,
and last but not least, be learned in
the law. One possessing these quail.
ifcations would necessarily be in.
corruptible, and would so transact
the business of the courts as to pro-
tect, not only the litigants, who, by
the way, constitute a very small
percentage of the taxpayers, but
also, the great masses Of the people
who pay their taxes but who, seldom
or never, have business in the
courts, except as jurors or wit
nesses.
Every minute of the time in
which your circuit court is in actual
session your county is taxed at
least thirty cents. Therefore, while
these expenses are fixed and can
not be reduced, yet, by prohibiting
unnecessary delays, the length of
the term may be. considerably
shortened, thereby reducing the tot
al expense of the term very mater

The lawyers are officers of the
court and should be in the court
room to attend to their cases. Lit.
eants should be present when their
cases are called. Jurors are paid
for their time at court, whether en-
Gagged in a case or not, and it is
their duty to be in the courtroom
when wanted; and this applies to
witnesses as well.
Every minute that the court, for
any reason, is unnecessarily delay
ed, at least thirty cents Of the tax
payers money are absolutely thrown
away.
Should be your next circuit
judge, the court will not wait for
lawyers, litigants, jurors or witness.
