A No Time to Lose You cannot afford to disregard the warnings ot a weak and j diseased heart and put off tak- I irur the orcRcrinrion t-h?. I world's greatest authority on heart and nervous disorders? Miles* Heart Care. If your heart palpitates, flutters, or you are short of breath, have smothering spells, pain in left side, shoulder or arm, you have heart trouble and arc liable to drop dead any moment. Malor J. W. Woodcock, one of tho best kuown oil operators in tlic country dropped dead from hourt disease recently, at his homo in Port land, lud., while mowing his lawn.WfYu rrrm. Mrs. M. A. Hirdssll, Wutkins, N. V., whose portrait heads this advertisev' " ntent, says: "I write this through gratitude for benefits I received from Dr. > Miles' Heart Cure. I had palpitation of the heart, severe pains under the left shoulder, and my general health { was miserable. A few uottles of Dr. Mtles'Heart Cure cured me entirely. Sold by all Druggists. Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind. priseR can confidently rely upon the fidelity of our operatives so long aH they are fairly treated. It is desirable that every avenue should bo opened up for the profitable employment of honest labor. It is as true now as it was of old that "the laborer is worthy of his hi ire." And while on this subject of labor nnd capital I want to aay "that, our late State convention endorsed something else thai I am in favor of with some qualifications?that is, what is known as the "Child Labor Bill," of which I may speak of more fully at some future time in the campaign, as my time is limited today, ^ The qnestiou of taxation is one of treat' importance. In order to meet the current expenses of the government and secure an equitt able contnbutiou from every taxpayer, a careful, and tfr far as possible a uniform system of ran. dition and assessment should be established. It is not every man that < isj disposed to render his property at fair taxable values. Boards of equalization, however careful they may be, cannot always correct the failure of the assessor nor thwart the disposition of hina who would seek an under "valuation of his property. Discretionary power on the part of any oflicer is' liable to abuse and preversion on one side or subject to be duly inllueuced or overreached 011 the other. The thine desired is equality and jus-, tice "ad vblorom" and tho pro curance of the needed; .revenue . without unnecessary harshness or burden upon any one.

The people and thei I agents are entitled to know o short notice the condition of th fiscal affairs of their governmen If anywhere wastefulness or mil management prevails thereougli to be some way for its easy dn covory and speedy correctioi This I think is entitled to boih consideration. One of the most interestin subjects that has in recent year attracted public atten tio throughout the country is th betterment of our public high ways.

Good, and good only j can be the ultiipa^e product o n the manifold operations of civili e zatiou. One result ot that blood) H war following the abolition o! slavery, was the raising of south 6 em character to a fuller under e standing of its own powers as wel j. as its own deficiencies and to t e spirit of emulation of the thrift e the energy, the industry and tht e ingenuity of other and more pro , gressive people.

While it may not be perfect, and may from time to time be improved upon, yet it has been sustained for (J or 10 yearn by the people, or at least by a large majority of them.
