ginia:
In response to resolutions of
the executive committees of Mer-
Ger, Mcdowell and Mingo. coun-
ties, and the expressed wish of

ferent sections Of the State, !
have decided, after careful and
earnest consideration, to become
a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor at the
primary election to be held June
9th.
In becoming a candidate, | am
prompted by no desire to oppose
the distinguished gentlemen who
have announced themselves, but
do so in order that the Democrat
ic voters of the State may choose
from among us whom they will
have as their candidate for Gov
ernor. However, in justice to
to those who support me, l shall
endeavor by all honorable means,
to win the nomination and carry
the standard of Democracy to vic
tory in November.
In seeking so high an honor at
the hands of my party, deem it
just that / express my views up
on subjects which. in my opinion,
will demand the consideration of
the public in the coming cam
paign.
In the first place, heartily en-.
dorse the administration Of Pres
1 ident Wilson and the many great
constructive measures enacted
for the benefit of the people by
our Democratic Congress.
Proud of our great President
and the achievements of his ad.
ministration. ! view with shame
and Indignation the administra-
ton of our State. In a State
whose very motto breathes the
spirit of freedom, unjust and in
iquitous burdens of taxation are
laid upon the people for the sup
! port of a political machine which
Expresses them and robs them OF
their liberties.

"A Thief of Health"

"The man who coughs or sneezes In
your presence without covering his
mouth with a handkerchief is thief -
the bulletin Of the st. Louis health de-
partment says.
"He Is a thief Of health and COM
fort" continues the bulletin. "Of
course he does not know 1t, and he
does not mean to injure his friends
and companions, but he does that very
thing every time he coughs or sneezes
without protecting his mouth and nose
with his handkerchief.
Watch the people who are afflicted
and take note Of how few persons use
a handkerchief when sneezing or cough
ing. They scatter grip germs in Of
fees, workshops, stores, and within
twenty-four to forty-eight hours thou
sands Of persons are infected. Nobody
seems to think 1t worth while to use

On one occasion Herr steinitz, the
famous chess master, was discussing
political economy with distinguished
professor in England, and the NAL

usual arguments the veteran chess
player thus wound up the controversy:
'Tts all nonsense what they say.

Plants That Give Feat.

We do not, as a rule, think Of plants
as giving out heat, yet at certain times
some flowers show an astonishing rise
Of temperature. Most remarkable in
this respect are certain kinds of Arum.
Just at the opening Of the flower In
these cases there Is a great liberation
Of heat. This is due to the fact that
the respiration, or breathing, is at
such times very vigorous. Some very
interesting experiments have been car
ried out in connection with these
Arums by means of placing a Their
mometer just inside the spathe. One
of the most remarkable cases was that
of a species growing on the Mediter-
ranean coast and known as Arum
1talicum. The temperature of the air
was 60 degrees at the time of the ex-
pertinent. That inside the spathe was
ITO degrees. At that time the bios
SONS, which when expanded are prac-
tcally scentless, gave out a fragrance
suggestive Of wine. 1t Is said that
plants Of this type are particularly
common In MeXico.-St. Nicholas.

Both Wara EnYloua.

1t was in Cleveland, and the day
was hot. The Mastodons had just fin
ished their parade, and Charles Froh-
man, perspiring and wearing the alb
horred silk hat, entered the box office
Of the opera house on Cleveland ave-
nue.. Sitting in the treasurer's seat he
saw a sturdy lad lingering a pile of
silver dollars. He slipped them In and
out with amazing dexterity. Hearing
a noise. he looked up and beheld young
Frohman with the tile tilted back on
his head. The boys eyes met. Into
each came q wistful look.
81 wish had that silk hat of yours"
said the boy at the window.
81 wish I could do what you are do
ing with that money" was the re-
Spouse Of the envied one.
Such was the meeting Of two men
who afterward became dominant fig
ures in the theatrical world. The boy
with the dollars was A. L. Erlanger.

From Emerie to America.

From Emeric to America.
The transformations that take place
In a name as it passes through differ
ent languages can only be accounted
for by carelessness in transmission.
One would scarcely expect the name OF
Emeric, the name of a pious Hun
garian prince of the eleventh century,
who was made a saint, to take the
form Of Amerigo in Italian and of
Amery and Emery in English. The
name In German, but little changed
from the original, is Emmerich. This
obscure Hungarian saint has been a
person Of consequence In this world,
for from his name has come that of
this great continent In the fifteenth
century, in the Italian form of Ameri-
go, it was bestowed upon an Italian
navigator surnamed Vespucci, and this
continent, by still further mutilatiOn
of the name, came to be known as
America. When King Stephen Of Hun
gary was choosing name for his son
he could scarcely have imagined that
the name chosen was to be the parent
Of the word America and that poor old
Christopher Columbus was thereby to
be despoiled of a recognition that Is
far from being compensated for by the
term Columbia.-Indianapo News.

MiIkmaids In London.

At one time 1t was a common thing
TO see milkmaids In Fleet street. Lon

1t is difficult to say. Yet only a few
years ago a milkmaid actually prac-

London. Two cows were attached to

near Spring gardens, and a tumblerful

Some Bean.

On our desk lies an iciele bean twenty five inches in length. Owing to the drouth this bean was stunted in Is growth. Next year we hope there will be no drouth for we would like to see to what length the bean would reach by favorable weather conditions. The seed was brought from Green Forest by John G. Puiliam and planted in the Landaker yard -Times-Echo.
 This is some bean for Eureka Springs, but such is very common in Berryville. The editor has vines grow ing in his front yard that are covered with beans that will average more than.thirty inches in length, is fine ornament, excellent forage crop and are good to eat-when beans of all varieties are from ten to twelve cents per pound. Will have plenty of seed to supply the demand. Progress.
 Shucks! John says the seed that grew the above mentioned bean by us was planted from bean that measur- ed forty two incees. Gan you beat it? --Times-Echo.
 The bean planted by John was grown in Green Forest by Bruce Phillips, and upon interigation about the said bean, Bruce said earlier in the season beans on the same vine that grew the bean that John got grew beans that meas ured from sixty-four inches down.
 We beat!

Trip to the Mountains

A crowd of our young folks spent last Sunday out on the mountains south of town. Those in the crowd were Messrs. Sid Vilines, Adrian Firestone, Ira Gurley, Newb Edgmon, and Ralph Shaffer, and Misses Roxie Porter, Ola Aired, Laura Villines, Viola Shpman. and Mollie Burkett, all chaperoned by Mrs. Morrow. They carried with them potatoes, eggs, beans, meat and other things too numerous to mention, which they cooked at the Wise Spring. Re- ports say that it was a fine dinner even if Sid did upset the meat in the ashes while cooking it and some one else stepped in the eggs, breaking several of them. There were two kodaks in the crowd and lots of nice views were taken. They came back by the Pin nacle and there the quarrel begun about some field glasses that had been taken along. But by taking it by turns each got to view the scenery on every side which seen through the glasses was nothing less than picturesque. They got back to town about sunset, tired but not hungry, promising themselves another such trip at some furture date.
