He tells tiio delegation to have each person they recommend attach to their recommendation an affidavit setting forth that the person so recommenued is not addicted to the use of intoxicating liquor, and that he voted for the dispensary at at the last general election. The governor explained his position by pointing out that the people who had voted for the dispensary had the right to have the dispensary administered by friends of the institution, those who would con duct it right and fairly. He said that he would not appoint any one, political friend or enemy, whose recommendation was not accompanied by the affidavite as outlined. HAVE ODD BANKRUPTCY LAW Marawaris, a Tribe ifr India, Beat Insolvent Man Until Their Wrath Is Exhausted. They had a peculiar way of going i into bankruptcy among the Marawa- j ris in India, now unhappily giving ,wav to the less picturesque method of the white man. When a man could not par hnr-bflls he would summon his creditors. They were ushered into a room in which the thakur, or household god, was enshrined, but covered up with a cloth and with the face turned to the wall in order that j it might not witness the scene that was to follow. The insolvent would then, in garb of mourning, lie on the floor, pre- i senting his back to his creditors, who, on a given signal, would fall on him with shoes and slippers .and belabor him till their wrath was exhausted. ' The beating finished, honor was declared to be satisfied all around. ORIGIN OF WORD "CABINET." George I. is said to have been responsible for the word "cabinet" as | it has long applied to politics in the United States. "When he was king he ; could not take part in the delibera- j tions of his own privy council be- , cause he knew no English.

Afterward they informed him of the result of their discussions. It fol- I lowed, naturally, that the part of the privy council which was supposed to be in particular favor with the king, and especially close to him, came to | be spoken of as his cabinet council.

REALLY WASN'T A GOUGES Native of Arkansas Traveled Ssven Miles for 15 Cents, and Was More Than Satisfied. Telling further of the horseback trip made by himself and Ed Wilson through the wilds of Arkansas, an allusion to which appeared in this column Saturday, says the Kansas City Times, Harry Rubey relates in the Macon Times-Democrat, the following story, in which a native, who had gone six or seven miles out of his way in a pouring rain, after dark, to give the travelers their proper bearings, figures amusingly: " 'How much do we owe you. my friend?' I asked, as he turned to go back. "He hesitated, shuffled his feet and drawled: " 'Well, partner, I don't want ter be too hard on you uns, bein' as you're sorter up 'gainst it. How'd ttf* teen strike you?" "Ed whistled. "'Land o' Coshen!' he exclaimed. We better stayed out In the woods!' "I'd dickered with fellows before and I made up my mind to use a little diplomacy. " 'See here, friend,' I said, 'we are strangers here and we have only a modest amount of money to get through on. We want to be fair; you've served us well and wo appreciate what you've done for us, but (Jpn't y^u thinly xiq\\?&s. between maji and man?that $15 is just a little Bteep? Come, now, let's be fair.' The man looked from Ed to me, as if puzzled to understand what I was driving at, and then took off his hat and scratched his head, unmindful of the rain. " 'I guess you musta mistook me,' he said slowly. 'I said 15 cents, but If hit's too much?' "I couldn't get my dollar out quick enough, and when I put it in his hand and thanked him, he protested against the munificence of the compensation, and even followed after us, urging that we take some of it back."

Cotton Conditions Now 71.4 Per Cent New York, Aug. 28.?Reports from 1.939 special correspondents of The Journal of Commerce, bearing an av. erage date of August 22, show a cotton condition of 71.4 per cent, as compared with Sl.l per cent a month ago or a loss of 9.7 points. Only once in the past 10 years has this decline in August been exceeded, namely, the year 1911, when it was 14.3 points and the 10-year average loss is about 5.9 points. The condition a year ago was 75.4 per cent, while In 1911, the bannei year, it was 72.6 per cent and 70.1 per cent in 1910. The 10-year average .is 73.5 per cent. It remains to he seen how far a loss of 9.1 points in condition will he offset b> an inrease of 856,000 acres over last year, or about 2 1-2 per cent. Percentage conditions by States follows: North Carolina 80.2 South Carolina 77.3 Georgia 79. G Florida 79.1 Alabama 73. (J Mississippi 73. G Louisiana 72.1 Texas 63.1 Arkansas 77.

The Governor of South Carolina, who is widely known, if not favorably, has taken one step in the right direction. He has recommended that the State convicts be put to work on the public roads. We have never been abb> to see why the State should not use its convict labor to build prominent highways. It strikes us that this would be of more permanent value to the State than the maintenance of a great State farm, where the convict labor is mostly used at the present time. Had North Carolina adopted the policy of working the public roads with the convicts years ago. we would now have at least two or three main highways across the State that all would be proud of.?Winston-Salem Journal.
