The candidates do not attract u many people as do the local candidatez and as there are only candidates fo Railroad Commissioner who have opp sition. we doubt exceedingly if thei circling around the State will pay ther for their trouble. The people as a rul know very little ab6ut the otice of ,ai road Commissioner and look upon it a somewhat of a sinecure or a stall to: stable and fatten broken down politica horses. The class who nave busines with a railroad commi.sSionl are Coll stantly complaining of its lack of pro teetion for the people. and that so fa as the practical etfect to the massesi concerned, bette results are obtaiue direct from the railroad authoritie than are by appealing to the commis sion. Hon. C. w. Garris is the presen chairman of the board. and we believi he has made a study of his otfice, an< has not only carried out the law. bu through his intelligent researcnes number of valuable improvenients fo the public benefit can be placed to hi credit, and so far as we are concerned we see no reason why Clarendon shoul< give the magnificent vote it gave hin six years ago to another simply becaus the other wants the job, and unless th opponents of Mr. Garris can show tha he has not been mindful of the people' interests, but on the other hand ha been neglectful er corrupt. we think they will lose time here. Our peopl4 think if it is right to give the Governoi and the other State officers a secon term it is also right to apply the sami to the Railroad Commissioner. Si: years ago, after watching Mr. Garris efforts in behalf of the people, we wer the first to nominate him for Railroa Commissioner, and the people of Clr.r endon endorsed him very flatteringly this was gratifying to us then, andi we had any reason to feel that he ha not beer faithful to his trust, now tha he stands for re-election, we would bi found urging our readers to vote agains him, but his record so far as we hav< been able to learn is clean, and we en dorse him for re-e> tion with pleasure and sincerely hope the people of Clar endon will do likewise. THE BOARD OF TRADE. In another column we publish a let ter signed " One of the MIembers which to our mind is very timely an worthy of due consideration by ever well wisher in this town. We profes to be enterprising, and yet when w organize for the purpose of securin advantages which can only be obtaine by organization, our efforts are shelve and nothing comes of it. This shoul not be. A board of trade is a necessit to every well operated commerci! town. and because we do not accon plish what we set out to do at once, no reason why we should give upi despair. There should be an activ~ interest taken in the organization. an wherever such is the case good has r< sulted. We venture to say, if tb board of trade had some attachment 1 which its members might manipulai a few dollars out of it. the intere: would not lag and everyv fellow woul be punctual in attendance. Well, board of trade has dollars attached it, but they are not counted out at tb meeting, these dollars come indireeth they come by bringing our business ii terests together in an organized etfoi to induce buyers here for our cotto and tobacco products, to arouse healthy competition. to secure bette prices, to awaken a stronger contidenc with the patrons, to persuade tht transportation authorities to grar more rapid and cheaper facilities an by an organized effort hold out ii ducements for new people with brai! muscle and thrift to come here. No town can thrive commercial] which confines itself in a cloister. must brush aside clannishness. na: rowness and bigotry, and throw wid open its gates. The town of Mannin has advanced considerably in the pai few years. but the good work shoul not be allowed to stand still-the lim is not reached if our people will a~ with a clear-headed judgment. board of trade should be an active fa tor in advancing the town's interes and it should be revived by all meanm The fight in the sixth congressionm district protnises to be a lively on< Hon.

The contest will be of interes to our readers as this county until rc cently was one comprising the sixt district. Hion. .lohn G. Capers has beea honor edl by his party to be one of the sipeaker to second the- nomination of Presidea Roosevelt at tihe llepuiblican Nationti Convention. Ni :r.

The battle is now il the hancs of political strategists wh 1are -chening daily, and when the con e vention assembles it will be so arrange< before hand that the "favorite sons" States will be lresented and receive complimentary vote, then. when dLi smoke of the first skirmish clears away it will be found that Parker has no enough to give him the necesstry two thirds vote. and the 'favorite sons will be dropped and the hattle royn begun.

Watch George McClellan of New York. and see if hi will not come out winner as a healer o factional divisions. We think Mc Clellen will be acceptable to Bryan i the platform is right, and in our opin ion it will be unwise to ignore Colone: Bryan at. this stage of the game. le i; a factor in politics there is no doubt and his opponents may sneer as much as ther please. but if the Democrats arc reallv making aneilort to win in the coming presidential contest they will need all of Bryan's help, and this the% Scannot expect by repudiating everx thing Bryan and Democracy has been ad0vocating-. The News and Courier is now. and I has always been opposed to the dispen sarv system. we are not. but we do no, favor forci.ng a dispensary upon a com munity that, does not want it. It is oui opinion the tratlic in liquor is better reg ulated through the dispensary system than any other so far tried.even granting the system is reeking with corruption vet. for certain communities the sys tem is very satisfactory. in other com I unities however. we realize it to be a curse. it has brought on demoralization, induce( i men to violate. not only thc law. but their oaths. made them feel oppressed by a tyranny not prompted wt h motives for the general welfare, but for political advancement and grafi as the main. object. There is only one way t- settle thi, I troublesome question. The peopli have never been permitted to have voice upon it. If our lawmakers wil .lay aside polities, and enact a law whiel will permit the people of each county t< vote on Prohibition. Dispensary and Li cense, we believe the solution will be found. .Just so long as the law is foreei jupon comminities where it is obnox ious. just so long will there he irrita tion. We have been an ardent advocate o: the dispensary and wve still would voti for its continuance, believing it-a bettei liquor regulation than barroonis or pro hibition not enforced, nevertheless, w4 realize that in seaport cities the dispen sary law is an oppression. and in prohi bition communities the law is very dis tasteful and obnoxious. .and to force law upon a peCople, is not calculated tt elevate its citizenship. Whereas if thi people by a majority vote were p)ermit ted to have a liquor regulation, whether it, be dispensary. prohi bition or license. then whichevet they voted upon themselves would b4 their own making and would be respect ed accordingly. The law as it now stands 1 permits a few people in a town to have a dispensary established, vet if that in stitution becomes a nuiisanice to thie saecitizens.,n turns out to be ai eintrumnent for evil, the same number o: citizens cannot have it removed: t<. seek relief the question is hurled int< the political arena. aind factional aui othte- prejudices a r~ e apipealet eto for i'ts continuance. Once lec the dispensary octupus fasten its tentam 1i ces upon a town, its grip cannot b< shaken loose until a majority of th< county has consented thereto, and pos sibly the voters outside of the tow, have none other than a political intei est worked tup by politicians. This i wrong in lpractice as well as principle and we cannot stand for any law which so liagrantly shows a p)urpose to build a pltia strutue t thre expense o 1 How's Thise .i We oer One iHundred Dollars Reward mo: any case of Catnrrh that cannot be cured b: HaI~ll' Caitarrh Cure.

Waco, Texas, has made an affidavit that he is 11 in possession of all his faculties. He says thai [SKEY has been his only medicine and has kept him AT 148 YEARS OF/UAGE. This is the most marvelous case on record, and has puzzled a great many leading physicians who have visitec Mr. Joice in behalf of scienee. The doctors admit that there is no doubt but DIUFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY pos. sesses some peculiar medicinal properties that kill all dis. ease germs and prevent decay of the tissues and prolong life far beyond the Biblical allowance of threescore and ten Waco, Texas. February 1, 1904.-Stephen Joice, who appeared personally befor 'V. L. Ttcker, Tax Collector of McLennan County, after being duly sworn, said he was 14S years of ago. re is a well-known citizen, residing a ti M1ann st., East Waco. The representarivo off the 'Nws drc.ve to" "ncle Stev's" residence, where , for forty years he has been a law giver and a phet to his people. "I was bora," he said to thpe reporter, " o d the eastern shore of the Ches apeake, near the liaryland line, and was well acquainted with the vassals o: Baron Thomas Fairfax when he ruled that region. When the first Colonia . Coinrebs met at Philaehia, I was there on a. visit to my ents, being then stout young man, accustomed to active life on both sea end land. While ] have alwyits been a teuperance man, novertbless, I find with advancin' years that a stimiulant such as Paul recommended to Timothy to be good -for my stomnach and to prevent the infirmities of old roge. and I always useDuffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, which I find serves as a superb tonic and general renovator For diet I prefer pork, but can eat a little beef and digest it when I take a littli Dufly's Pure Malt W hiskey after each meal." Hore the old man went to his cupboard and brought out a bottle of Duffy' Pure Malt Whiskey and a teacup. "Some people," he continued, "put herb in their stimulant. I take mine in half a glass of milk or water. I take no other medicine." He then fixed up his midday dose, and, replacing the bottle in the old cup board, said, " I was born under the reign of George II, but he died before I cam remember, and the first King I heard much talk about was George III. I worke< for some of the Revolutionary soldiers, and I used to hear them talk lots abou George III and his tyranny. My young mistress sang ' The Star Spangled Banner' when it was first set to music, and I wa s near enough to hear the cannonading of Fort McHenry. It was about the tir ne when the city of Wash ington was burned that people began to call me old r nan Steve." To combat the forces of disease and pres :rve vigorous old age, yet must feed and nourish the vital spark with Du ffy's Pure Malt Whiskey the true elixir of life. There are nearly 4,000 men and women in America who have passed the century mark, and nearly every one of them owes, not only his or he: long life, but health, happiness and buoyancy of sp- irits to this great medicine. No other remedy can show such an army of liv ing witnesses to its health giving, life prolonging properties, CAUTION.-When you ask for Duffy's Pu re Malt Whiskey be suri you get the genuine. Unscrupulous dealers, i nindful of the excellenci of this preparation, will try to sell you cheap in uitations and malt whiske: substitutes, which are put on the market for prof it only,and which, far fro= relieving the sick, are positively harmful. Demand "Duffy's" and be surt you get it. It is the only absolutely pure !4ialt Whiskey which contain medicinal, health-giving qualities. Duffy's Pur e Malt Whiskey is sold ix sealed bottles only; never in bulk.
