LTr ?A TaRotaS NOT eOUTrICS IrEa. The legislature is now in ses sion, the first week very little of importance will be done, but there is au opportunity at this session to test the smncerity of those who profess to deplore factional divisions. The writer has long ago determined to lay aside factional differences, and strive to do his part towards bringing about a sane condition, which cannot exist if the masses are going to be content to grati fy the personal ambitions of a *class of politicians who find con tention and strife a ~method to hide their purposes, just as the cuttle fish muddies the waters to strike his prey. - There is a class of men whose interest in politics is to gratify enmity, these would go to any length--slander. vilification, and abuse to prejudice the public mind against those they would destroy, but this element has had its day, no longer will citi sens submit to their misrepre sentations without making the creatures show up; when they go about lying and misrepresent ing Ian opponent, they will be jerked up and proven to be cbar aeter assassins, and held up to the execration and scorn of de -cent people, as they deserve. The factional division in this *and in other States has done harm, there is no doubt, it it stopped with the individual, no great harm would come of it, but it does not stop there, it ex tends to the making of and the execution of the laws, favoritism conmes in for its share when fac tional feeling continues as it has *been the past four years, result ing in the laws being impar tially enforced, friends of the faction in power are a law with in themselves, while others are made to toe the mark. We do not want such a condition, but things are rapidly pointing that way, and they will get worse un-1 1- thinking masses 151I >ck of Suits, tunity to buy E D. January 20t will spurn the course of those who feed upon agitation for heir political gain. The present condition need iiot be laid at the door of any an or any faction, both factions nust share in the blame, and un til, there is a disposition on the part of both factions to ignore femagogism, and to bring things o a meritorious condition, the professions of wiping out fac ionalism. amount to nothing. he masses are not going to be ooled-they will not play the urkey and buzzard role that was roposed to the Indian by the hite hunter "Indian you take he buzzard and I will take the urkey, or if that does not suit, [ will take the turkey, and you, ndian, may take the buzzard." here must be a compromise ased upon equity, and patrio ism-each side must be sincere n the effort to restore harmony, ad, with a consolidated effort to work for the material welfare of he masses and let the profes sional politician go to grass. As we said in the outset of this article, the opportunity is t hand to prove the sincerity of hose who would elevate rather han pull down. The main rea son for the injustice done last year to the free schools of the State when the effort was made o have a one mill State tax for the benefit of enabling the weak schools, was a mean, contempti ble factional spirit, had it not een for this, the schools need ing help would have been great y benefitted; as it was, the peo ple had to pay an additional one mill tax, and, in a number of ounties the money could not be used for the reason there was o need for it, whereas, had the tax been put on as recommend ed, the rich counties would have sent what they did not need into those counties suffering from a lack of funds, -a-dog-in-the-man ger-spirit robbed Justice of its own merely to gratify a factiona grudge. Let reason now pre vail. We want the members of the general assembly to forget to which faction they were allied in the last, and the previous campaign, and remember, they represent the material welfare of the State as a whole-all of the schools and all of the other interests which go to make up the progess and life of the )vercoats, Tr 'Fine Clothin Nothing C JECHl h. State. We want, when this ses sion has done its work, and gone into history, to have it said "there was no political antago nisms, differences of opinion were sincerely and honestly dis cussed, there was a disposition throughout to labor for the gen eral interests." Thbe rule in the past has been, that a session preceding a pri mary,was used by the politician, as aboard to play the game of politics on, nearly all of the moves were for political posi tion, we hope it will not be so this year; the man witir ambi tion, if there is anything more in him that what passed down his throaL, and he is a patriot, can leave off his political ma neuvering until he strikes the hustings, to devote his time and his talents to an endeavor to make the session a business one, keep down appropriations as far as good service will permit, and adjourn. NO CHANGE ?4ECESSARY. In the matter of the Bill sent out by State Bank Examiner B. J. Rhame, as stated in our last issue, we have no opposition to Mr. Rhame, but we see no good reason to change the present law with regard to the appointment ofa bank examiner. However, with regard to the Lexington matter referred to in our editor ial, we nientioned the trouble be tween the Governor and the Examiner growing out of the failure of tha Roof Bank, and stated the case was referred to the courts, "but so far nothing ad been done." in this we were mistaken. The supreme court did render a decision in favor of the Examiner, but it had es caed out notice, this does how ever,not altar the situation in the least, our contention is, the leg islature should have a better reason for changing a law than the convenience of an official or jan aspirant to official position. The present Bank Examiner isentirely satisfactory to us, if the legislature had the selection of the officer to fill the position, the probability is we should vote for the present incumbent, the legislature however, does not have the selection of this officer, and, under the existing law the appointment is made by the Governor, who may advise with the Exeutive Committee of the -C' ousers, Unde flSE g- and Furnis harged. Evei ANOL SUM' State Banking Association. The Bill Mr. Rhame is urging, pass ed the House last year, and is now a second reading senate bill, unless it is shown to us there is a necessity to relieve the Executive of making this appointment, we shall vote against any change. It is contended by some, the Bank Examiner should not be appointed by one man, this con tention does not appeal to our mind, because, the method of appointing this official has been perfectly satisfactory in the past, and tbere is no reason why it should not be satisfactory in the future; we seriously object to changing the method of ap pointment at this juncture, es pecially, since it is the desire of ourself to avoid anything which might be construed as opening up factional sores-we are seek ing to heal the breaches occa sionedf by bitter factionalism, and, such a measure as is pro posed by Mr- Rhame at this time, urder existing circum stances, instead of being an ol ive branch, would be a branch of poison oak. And too, it is more important to the general masses, and the business welfare of the State, for the legislature to devote its time to those mat ters of vital interest to the tax payers generally than to scheme for the welfare of individuals. Ojinaga has been evacuated by the federals, but Huerta still clings to his job in the city of Mexico, and the United States must care for the refugees- The Mexican situation gets more complcated daily, and unless this country or some other power steps in and demands the peace the war will continue on indefi nately.

I am in receipt of the following let ter which is self explanatory: "I am writing this letter to call your attention to the violation of the law by trustees and principala of some of the schools in your county in allowing chil dren to attend school who cannot pro duce satisfactory evidence of having been successfully vaccinated within the last five years, as reuired by Act, of the Legislature, No.43 and approvd the 22nd day of February, A. D. 1905. Your attention is called to section 4, 5, 6, of this law; also to Rule 1, of the State Board of Health passed under this Act. I am sending you a bulletin containing these laws, which, of course, can also be found in the code for 191", both Criminal and Civil. I will appreciate it very much if you will call this matter to the attention of the principals of the schools in your county and let them ignow that this law will be rigidly enforced. Smallpox is prevalent all over the State, and this is the only way the children can be protected." Signed, 'JAMS A. HAYNE, M. D., Secretary State Board of Health. There is no doubt whatever but that the Board has ample authority for en forcing the law. Self preservation is the first law of nature, and It woula be well if the school auth orities whose attention is directed hereco will rake notice, and get on the right side of this question at once without running any risk of smallpox, or of the necessity of having the State Board of taking legal action.

Stukes, who departed this life, on Monday morning Jan. 5th at four o'clock. Our entire neighborhood was sadden ed when it became known that she had passed into the great beyond. Grace was the charming wife of Mr. E. L. Stukes, beautiful In form, at tractive in manner, cultured, refined, possessing the many graces that adorn girlood and young womanhood. *She was a member of Home Branch church since early childhood a consci entious tireless, energetic christian, of a bright cheerful optimistic spirit, such was she and that is why we mourn her untimely death and miss her- from her home. Grace leaveN a heart broken husband, mother, father, three brothers and four sisters to mourn her untimely depart ure. Though it is hard to part from those we love. knowing that all things work for good to those that love Him. We shall know in the bright and happy world when the misterles shall be revealed. She was not quite 19 years of age and was loved by old and young, always a bright smile upon her face, and only been married about nine months but it was not for her to remain with us, the call to her heavenly father was made Gods Will must be done. "We saw her fade as doth a leaf, Beneath the torch of deaths cold Our sighs and sobs brough no relief, The message came at gods command, And when our tired feet from time's worn path may rs, We then may fully understand our fathers Will is the best, We saw not the white robed angel as it entered with folded wings. To Summons home our dear to the arms of our beavenly King. But we knew by the sweat upon her brow, by the hands so clammy and cold, That the death angels wing her form had touched, An tead a ad beehan told, to every We knew that the Saviour bad caied er to a blissful mansion on high, To shield her' forever from sorrow nd eare to hisfar@ ooe in the sky, We knew that the Pearly Gates on high for her would open wide." She was buried at Home'- Branch hurch on the 6th. The Rev. M. J. Ciser hrpastor COnducted the services mong a large concourse of relatives nd friends. May our deepest sympa hy be for the heart broken husband. rom one who loved her. Mas, J. W. CocuR AN. As lassesi ShwIs.
