B!ease and the Militia. ^B The reason pivon by Governor V Blease for refusing to allow the W State militia to take part in the manouvres t<> be held in Augusta I a few days hence doubtless is j F satisfactory to the Governor him-; self, hut we imapine that he j will have to do considerable more I *? . u^ ?:i UA|Mcii MiiiK tw tut' iiiiuticiiiirii uc- | fore they agree that he is acting: wisely or in their interest. It will he recalled that it was the purpose of the War Department to hold the manouvres at the Die of Palms, but the order for the encampment at that place was cancelled owing- to the differences which arose between the Governor and the Secretary of War. On the heels of that! incident comes the refusal of the 1 Governor to consent to the i militia going to Augusta for the ! encampment. If the Governor < feels that he is embarrassing the ' War Department in this matter, he is mistaken. He is injuring himself politically with the militiamen and many of their i nenns arm we suspecr tnar1 when the votes are counted in the race which he is making for the United States Senate, if there were any way to identify the ballots of the militiamen! most of them would bear uneraced the name of E. IX Smith. 1 About the only compensation the ! militiamen get for their services as such is the annual outing pro- j vided by the national govern-; ment at the manouvre camp. To j be deprived of the outing for no : better reason than that oifered by the (lovernor is enough to put t he militiamen in a bad humor; with him. Why Sulzer Lost His Office. The last issue of The Protest-i ant Magazine, published in Washington. 1). C., contains aj news-editorial article relative to1 the impeachment, last year, of (lovernor Sulzer, of New York, which places the matter in a different light to that which is generally accepted as the reason tor depriving the Empire State executive of his ottice. The Protestant flatly charges the Roman Catholic hierarchy with the impeachment of Governor Sulzer and gives as the reason, for this organization's attitude toward Governor Sulzer his refusal to sign a certain bill passed by the General Assembly placing the entire control and direction! of the public school system of, Hew York City in the hands of i the Romanists, to disrupt or conduct in the interest of the undeniable effort they are prose-1 outing to* "make America Catholic/' Governor Sulzer would not sign the bill; instead, he vetoed it?in the lace of the hierarchy's j threat that if he did so he would sign his own indilual ucath warrant. With a Catholic General Assembly behind it. the hierarchy knew what it was at>oiit when it made the threat: Governor Sulzer lost his otlice. and was succeeded in the Governor's chair by a Romanist. But the school hill which cost Slllzer his oftice is not yet on the statute hooks of New York. Since the papist deprived Sulzer of his office a new General Assembly has been elected which does not receive its politico-religious inspiration from the Italian on the Tiber. If the General Assembly of New York which stole the Governorship from William Sulzer is representative of New York Democracy, we trust that State will never again go Demor? t-i! * j- i-J ctawc. uepuuucanism is oaa enough, but Romanism is ten time3 worse. Meanwhile, every true American who can afford to do so should send a dollar to The Protestant Magazine for a year's subscription. It is worth the money and will open the eyes of those who think our free institutions are not menaced. The North and South Road.

It was her testimony which had gone far toward convicting him. Until recent years Thompson was a man of good standing in his community. FOR SA LK A second hand, one-horse wagon.

Strong vigorous men and women hardly ever catch cold; It's only when the system Is run down and vitality low that colds and coughs get a foothold. Now Isn't it reasonable that the right way to cure a cough 1b to build up your rup down condition again? Mrs. D. A. McGee of Waycrons, Ga., ays: "I had a chronic cold and cough which kept me awake nights for two yoars and I felt tired all the time. Vinol cured my cough and I feel stronger in every way." The reason Vinol la so efficacious In such cases is because it contains in a delicious concentrated form all the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil, with tonic, blood building iron added. Chronic coughs and colds yield to Vinol because it builds up the weakened, run-down system. You can get your money back any time if Vinol does not do all we say. P.
