STATE CAMPAIGN.
The biennial touring of candidate
for State otlices has about worn itsel
out. 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

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<

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

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

Dear Sir: The way to reckon the cost
if paint is to put both costs together:
lie cost of the paint and the cost of
>utting it on.
It would save the country hundreds
f millions of dollars a year: it would
ave you alone (if you happened to be a
-ictim) several dollars a year.
See how it works. It costs a much
o put-on one paint as another. don't it?
Yes,. if you use the same number of
,allons.
Well. don't I'*
No, you'll use twice as many gollons
f adulterated paint as of Devoe: and
ou've got to pay twice as much for
utting it on.

This is the most marvelous case on record, and has

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

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 ]

that a stimiulant such as Paul recommended to Timothy to be good -for my

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

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:
