Oar readers should inform themselves
cortvrpT^t* the proposed
amendment* t ? ?m> Scute Constitution
upon wojt-n r;ey ?re expected to
vote in the cum?* &.? Heciien so that!
they can vote m;eiigently. These j
proposed ameDdmeots will be found |
in the notice of election for State aDd
County officers. The first beiD$ a
proposition to ampnd SectioD 9 cf
Article III of the Constitution, so as
to provide for biennial sessions of
the General Assembly. We believe
that the biennial scheme will prove
false economy. All the appropria
fcions of the State government are
made aoDQally and to make the
change will necessitate a change of
the entire machinery entailing a
heavy expense to do so, all for no
good in the end, consequently the
voter should vote "No" on this proposition.
To Amend the Constitution so as
to Permit the General Assembly to
Enact Local and Special Laws on the
Subject of Laying Out, Opening,
Altering and Working Roads and
Highways, and as to the Age at
Which Citizens Shall be 8ubj9ct to
* Road or Other Public Duty. The
road law needs to be changed so as
to give each county the right to
adopt laws that will be best suited to
local conditions. Oj this amendment
our neonle should vote "Yes."
""" " r 4r
Tbe proposition in reference to
municipal indebtedness has reference
to tbe City of Greenville alone, and
if the people of that city want tbe
amendment adopted, it should be
done, though tbe limitation of indebtedness
of tbe constitution is a
wise safeguard. Our people may, iD
this instance, vote "Yes."

Hon. David Meekison is well known, not only in his'own Stat" but throughout
America. He began his political career hv serving four consecutive terms as
Mayor of the town in which he lives,during which time he became widely known
as the founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. lie was elected to the
Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader <>f
his party in his section of the Slate. * j
Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman.
Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was J.is only unconquered
foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal
enemy. At last Per una came to the rescue, and he'dietated the following letter
to Dr. Ilartman as the result:
