C, by registered let ter, check or noney order. What follows in this column is contributed. Trueness is. better than success. But real succes j is, after all impossi ble without tneness. One way to < ure worry is to break away from one ?elf md take a larger interest in lifo: For every ms n to sweep in front of i his own door i i one effective way to help make the "City Beautiful." i ? ? ? ? That is a pit ce of work is but half done is not go d. It indicates super ficiality and a lack of resolution and thoroughness on the part of the worker. If the time spent in useless con troversies was spen'; In actual work ing and obs'e; ration how much ill feeling would be avoided and how much more g >od would be accom plished. No man is v hat he ought to be nor what he car. be. There is always room for advj nee and if to advance means strugg e so much the better as it is that w ly life is made strong er. Steadily the world has been emerg ing from darkness into light and the process Is r>\ ill going on. While there is need for alertness, caution and effort, th ?re is still no room for pessimism. The hen ivao fails to lay an egg all winter w! en eggs are dear and lays in spring when eggs are cheap^ and the man who busies himself ov er trifles to leglect matters of im-i portance are striking examples of misdirected eiergy. The man who adevrtises wants the best retu rns for his money. He gets this whei in attractive and gen erous manne; he informs the public through the (olumns of his home pa per what he has in stock and bar gains he has to offer. It is said hat there is a tribe in Africa that \ ill not allow a speaker in tribal co incils to speak longer than he can stand upon one foot If the custom were adopted in our congress and state legislatures there would probt bly be less talk and more work. A man safeguards his own indepen dence who h yo up for the proverbial rainy day. The man who at the first blast cT adversity, whether of sickness or non-employment, is de pendent upo a charity has usually himself to 1 lame for his dependent condition. 'Sixteen Jten stood in front of a window to v atch a man paint a sign on the glass Evidently time was no object to tb?m yet more than likely if they had C 3en home and their wives wanted theri to do something around the house taey would have had ur gent calls d >wn town. One can never tell what a man amounts to while under restraint, whether the restraint be environment lack of mea is or anything else. Only when the m in is freed and with full ability to < hoose and act does his true charac :er and the extent of his resources r ?veal themselves. The very general and unfavorable comments l lade upon the approach ing marriage of two members of New York and Newport smart soci ety are significant as showing the high regan most people have for the sanctity of marriage and home life. Ordinarily t is nobody's business ex cept those immediately concerned when two j eople join their lives. But when the c rcuinstances are notorious and offens ve to public sentiment it is a different matter. Even in America one occasionally comes across a man who regards wo man as an inferior animal and a sort of be ist of burden. Such was the man i i Missouri who harnessed his wife tc his team, and the man in Wisconsin who brutally beat his wife to make hi r love him. But these are but spora lie cases. Old world and dark ages ideas as to the nature and .position o* woman have no place in the Amer can social and domestic life. Th( lamentable instances re ferred to ?ut serve to emphasize this truth. The pa ;sage of the veto bill by the Britis i parliament is a great tri umph for democracy. It means the emancipation of the masses from the feudal ru e of an irresponsible aris tocracy a: d is the most radical legis lative Tel orm since the passing of the refon i bill of 1S32. The victory of the go /ernment insures the pass ing in the near future several greatly needed n xisures which hitherto have been blocked by the lords. Among' them are Irish Home rule, non-sec tarian < ducation^ the disestablish ment of the church in Wales, and the abolfc ion of plural voting. Where Is the Proof. Prof. W. E. Dodd, of Chicago Un iversity, says "all over the South the Southern Railway threatens, blusters and domineers; and small congress men tremble before its president and its great lawyers in a manner posi tively shameful to Southern man hood." * This is news to most of us who live on the line of this great railway system. If the Southern Railway "threatens, blusters and domineers " as Prof. Dodd says it does, it must do dt very quietly as we have never heard of it before. Nor have we ever heard of a "small congressman trembling before its president and its great lawyers in a manner posi tively shameful to Southern man hood." If Dr. Dodd knows these things he should give us the proof. The President of the Southern Rail way is a Southern gentleman, and so are most of the gentlemen asso ciated with him in the management of this great Southern Railway. While we have never heard of the Southern Railway doing the mean things Prof. Dodd says it is doing, we have heard of its spending thous angs of dollars helping the farmers along its lines to fight the cotton boll weevil and in other ways better their condition. We have heard of it spending thousands of dollars in ad vertising South Carolina anu other Southern States trying to induce white settlers to come to us from the Wost. According to our observa tion the Southern Railway never loses an opportunity to do what it can to better the condition of the people living in the territory through which it runs. Prof. Dodd in his Chicag- home may know more about the doings of the Southern Railway than those of us who live on its line, but we do not believe he does, and when he says it "threatens, blusters and dom ineers and that small congressmen tremble before its president and great lawyers in a manner shameful I to Southern manhood," we will be I compelled to believe that the profes j sor is talking through his hf.t unless he substantiates his charj\-> with I something more than hot air. I The Bamberg Herald endorses! I what Prof] Dodd says, and possibly ?it can tell us the name of the small congressman that trembles before the Southern's president and great lawyers, and when and how the Southern Railway threatens, blus ters and-domineers. Railroads should oe regulated and made to respect the rights of the people from whom they hold their charters, but there is no sense in abusing them as seme poli ticians do. Railroads prospers as the people whom they serve pros per, and it would be suicidal in the railroads to impoverish the people that supports them. President Taft Hedging. If the report that comes from Washington that President Taft wants as his running mate* next year Senator -Cummins instead of Vice President Sherman is true It is evi dent that the President is trying, to hedge on his tailff record. We agree with the Greenville Daily Piedmont that "Taft and Cummins would be an incongenous combination. While both are Republicans, their views on many questions are diametrically an tdaphetic. In the first place, Cum mins, who is going west, will proba bly object to being yoked up with Taft, who is bent upon going east. It Cummins should stutil'y himself by being a candidate with Taft upon a platform built to meet Taft's views, he would make himself a by-word and ruin his own political future. Cummins is a Progressive. Taft may have at heart sympathy with Progressive ideas but his actions? and men must be judged by their actions?have put big rocks in the way of accomplishment of those things in national politics for which Cummins is actively worked. Oil and water will make a better mixture than Taft and Cummins <ya the same ticket, unless Taft is going to break loose from the reactionaries or stand patters who have had the benefit of his official actions however little his sympathies may have been with them. Sherman is the natural and proper running mate for Taft, as he Is open ly and candidly,' frankly and avow edly in favor of the highest kind of high tariff, and that Is what Taft fa vors, if he be judged by his official conduct and not by hiB words. "And even his words condemn him, for in his speeches he has en dorsed the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, which was enacted in repudiation of the platform pledge of the Republi cans, in the campaign resulting in Taffs election in favor of a down ward revision of the tarii". The talk of putting Cummins on the platform with Taft is like the grasping at straws by a drowning man. His nomination, instead of helping Taft, would tend to defeat him, because it would be a confession of the tariff shortcomings of his administration without the honesty of an open avow al thereof. The fight of .'93 2 will be waged upon the tariff issue and thera will be way of ducking or dodging." I Applauded Him 3lf. Representative Littlepage of West [Virginia was censured by the House I for writing "applause" fourteen j times and "loud applause" once in a speech printed in The Record with out being delivered on the floor. The State says early in the session Mr. J Littlepage got pesmission to "ex tend his remarks In The Record." Minority Leader Wann then noted "applause," "loud applause," "great applause " and finally "ioud and pro longed applause and congratula tions" for remarks that were never made. It is suspected that copies of The Record in which the rebuke ap pears will not be assidulously circu lated by Representative Littlepage among his constituents as that in which he so cordially and unani mously extended his "congratula tions" to himself.

Buchanan writes from this place: "I suffered for three years with womanly troubles, and had such pains I thought I would die. I could not stand up long enough to cook a meal. I would work a little, and then have to sit down. At last, I had to be in bed half the time. My husband read a Cardui advertise ment that described almost the way I felt, so I sent for some Cardui. After taking it, I began to get better right away. / Now, I am cured, and I am very grateful, indeed, for what Cardui has done for me. I shall always praise it." Cardui is a woman's tonic?a strengthening remedy for women, especially for women, from perfectly harmless, vegetable ingredients. That's the reason for its 50 years of success. It will pay yon to tt s t it for yourself. ?. B.?Write to: Lakes' WrUory Dei*.. Ch*?irt ?ow Medicine Co.. ChMUri?*?. T?nn..-for Bpeoxat Instruction^ and (A-vise book.
