LETTER FROM Dr. WILCOX-
Hs Explains His Position on the Issues
of the Campaign-
Willacoochee, Ga., August 3rd, 1904.
—-Editor Breeze: I find quite a large
number of the leading citizens of our
cnunty in favor of electing the City
Court officers and the members of the
board of county commissioners by di
rect vote of the people.
In view of this fact and in order to
make known my position on these
questions I ask space in your columns
for this statement. I have alwa; s
been in favor of making all these offi
cers elective and if elected to the legis
lature I will do all in my power to pass
such a law. lam in favor of making
the board of commissioners consist of
eight members, one from each district,
so that each section of the county will
be represented on the board and then
allow each district to elect from its
citizens the man they want. I ask the
publication of this statement in justice
to myself and friends. In fact the
above has been my platform from the
first, a fact which I can prove by at
least 200 reputable citizens.
I also wish to say, last Monday I
proposed through a mutual friend, Mr.
Daniel Gaskins, that if judge C. A.
Ward would sign a written agreement
to withdraw from the race for repre
sentative that I would do likewise and
and let some other man enter the race
as he and myself have been before the
people nearly ever since 1892 and I
thought the people were tired of us
and would feel much refreshened if
we would give them a rest, but re
fused point blank to do anything of
the kind. I thought then and think
6o yet, that it would have been best
for him, the people and myself. I
think it very unfortunate for us all
that he could not be induced to look at
it in that light. ‘
I certainly feel that I am not to
blame to-day for being a candidate. I
shall now tight the thing to a finish,
but along lines honorable to the Judge
and myself. I shall not indulge in any
personalities or mud-slinging, nor al
low my friends to do so, if I can pre
vent it, and I sincerely hope he will
do likewise.
Respectfully,
JEFFERSON WILCOX, M. I).

Portland, Mains, Oct. 17, 1902.
I consider Wine of Cardui superior
to any doctor's medicine 1 ever used
and 1 know whereof I speak. I suf
fered for nine months with suppressed
menstruation which completely pros
trated me. Pains would shoot through
my back and sides and I would have
blinding headaches. My limbs would
swell up and I would feel so weak I
could not stand up. I naturally felt
discouraged for I seemed to be beyond
the help of physicians, but Wine of
Cardui came as a Go;l-send to me. I
felt a change for the better within a
week. After nineteen days treatment
I menstruated without suffering the
agonies I usually did and soon became
regular and without pain. Wine of
Cardui is simply wonderful and I wish
that all suffering women knew of its
good qualities.
Treasurer, Portland Economic League
Periodical headaches tell of fe
male weakness. Wine of Cardui
cures permanently nineteen out of
every twenty cases of irregular
menses, bearing down pains or
any female weakness. If you are
discouraged and doctors have
failed, that is the best reason in
the world you should try Wine of
Cardui now. Remember that
headaches mean female weakness.
Secure a SI.OO bottle of Wine of
Cardui today.

THE AFTERNOON NAP.
Modern Coniliiicnx Killin'? the sic
t» liuhit In Mexico.
There nre people in Mexico I’iiy who
take their afternoon nap every day,
and are greatly benefited thereby, but
their number appears to be growing
less year by year. Whether the siesta
Is beneficial or not, or whether in this
high altitude it is a necessity for many
persons, as Is claimed by some. Its
death knell as a general custom seems
to have been sounded since the city
adopted Its modern enterprise and
push. Many old residents will tell you
of the time when a person in the city
of Mexico would have been considered
almost crazy if he neglected his after
noon rest, but gradually, with the ad
vent of the railways, the. street ears
and the electric lights, came the in
evitable sleeplessness which Is one of
the most noticeable characteristics of
modern civilization.
There are several supporters of the
siesta idea in this city who express re
gret that the custom appears to be
passing away. These persons, who are
themselves devotees of the practice,
claim that it is a healthful and nerve
restoring habit and that if it were In
dulged In systematically by the people
of the United States and other pro
gressive countries there would be few
er cases of nervous wrecks for the
newspapers to report. “Early rising
niul a short nap after dinner’' Is what
these people advocate, claiming that
the best work of most persons is per
formed In the morning.—Mexican Her

FIRST USE OF TEA.
Am Anclrnt I,rgrn<l Ascribe. It to s
King of China.
By whom or when the use of ten for
drinking purposes whs first discovered
Is lost In antiquity. It is spoken of as
a famous herb In Chinese literature as
far back as 2,000 years B. C., at which
time its cultivation and classification
were almost as thorough and complete
ns they are today. One of the ancient
legends says that its virtues were ac
cidentally learned by King Shen Nuug
She, the Chinese monarch who is also
known as “the divine husbandman,”
who, the record says, flourished forty
centuries ago. He was engaged in boil
ing water over a fire made of the
branches of the tea plant and careless
ly allowed some of the leaves to fall
Into the pot.
The liquid which he expected to come
from the vessel simply as sterilized
water was miraculously converted Into
an elixir of life by the accidental ad
dition of the tea leaves. Soon after It
became highly esteemed in all the ori
ental cities and was used as a royal
gift from the Chinese monarchs to the
potentates of southern and western
Asia.
This same King Shen Nung She not
only earned the title of respect by
which lie was known through the dis
covery of the virtues of tea, but be
cause of being the first to teach his
people how to make nml use plows and
many other implements of husbandry.

whole case of Gordon, the slave
trader, point by point, and added that
he was not quite satisfied yet, und
meant to refresh his memory by look
ing again at the evidence. All tbi
showed a fidelity and conscientiousness
very honorable to him. When 1 was
introduced to him he said, “Oh, Mr.

In Old Stnaceconrli lluya.
There used to be rate wars In the
old stagecoach days in England. At
one time, early last century, one stage
coach company not only cut the price
from Lewes to London to a very low
rate, but gave also other Inducements.
As the coach started from Lewes at
a somewhat uncomfortably early hour
in the morning, by way of tiding over
the difficulty the proprietors allowed
the more slothful of their passengers
to go overnight to Brighton, where
they were accommodated with good
beds free of expense and could proceed
comfortably to London by the com
pany’s morning coach.

• Veet* or Tills Form o t Mental anil
Physical Derangement.
In a paper read before the congress
•f French alienists at Grenoble Dr.
Gaston Lalanne pointed out that
anxiety is a disturbance which is ex
pressed by the entire being. The ex
citing causes are sometimes physical
aiul sometimes psychical, and the
symptoms manifested are botfi phys
ical and mental. The physical symp
toms comprise cold feelings and chills
of the scalp and body, general lassi
tude, incoordination of voluntary
movements far more apparent than
real emotional coloring of speech, and
vertigo, which is dependent upon vaso
motor cerebral disturbances or upon
digestive troubles. In the anxious
states there are always circulatory
troubles, such as accelerated heart beat,
Irregularity of the heart’s action,
heightened nrterinl tension and cold
ness of the extremities. Respiratory
disturbances are also present.
The psychical symptoms of anxiety
Include various degrees of vague dread
and apprehensiveness, often taking
definite forms, in which case they are
designated as “phobias” or “obessions
of fear,” weakening the capacity of at
tention and of memory, and a tend
ency to confusion of ideas. Halluci
nations of the senses are prone to oc

COMEDIAN SAM VALE.
He Wn« the OrlKlnnl of Snm Weller
of rirkwlrk Fnme.
The original of Sam Weller was Sam
Vale, an English low comedian, who,
In the early part of the last century, was
quite popular In the south of England.
In the year 1811, and for a few years
after, he made quite a reputation Id tlie
musical farce called “The Hoarding
House,” written by Hensley. In this
he played the part of Simon Spatter
dash, a person who indulged in odd and
whimsical sayings. “Come on, as the
old man said to the tight boot;” “1 am
down on you, as the extinguisher said
to the candle;” “Let every one take
care of himself, as the donkey said
when dancing among the chickens,”
are fair illustrations of his witticisms
In the course of that play, the resem
blance between them and some of the
sayings of Sam Weller being very
marked. In private life Vale was a
wit, and many good things In his own
time were credited to him. A man of
excellent temper, lie had no enemies,
and the good humor which pervaded
every saying, together with the droll
ery of his manner, gave his witticisms
unusual value. Ills sayings were called
Sam Yalerisms, and on ilie appearance
of Pickwick in 1 Slid the character of
Weller was generally recognized as a
portraiture of Vale. The comedian died
In 1848 at the age of fifty-one.
THE WILLOW TREE.
John I’urk* Cuntln the Flrat
One In Tlilm Country.
When the soutli sea bubble in Eng
land collapsed one of the speculators
went to Smyrna to repair his fortune,
lie was a friend of Alexander Pope
and sent him a box of figs In which
had been placed a twig of a tree. Pope
planted the twig on his grounds on the
shore of the Thames, not knowing of
what tree it was. It grew and was a
weeping willow. In 1775, when the
tree was over fifty years old, one of
the young British officers who came to
Boston with the British army brought
a twig from the tree, which lie Intend
ed to plant on his lands after the re
bellion had been crushed. John Parke
C’ustls, son of Mrs. Washington, going
on errands to the British camp
a flag of truce, became acquainted
with the owner of the willow twig,
which was draped In oiled silk, and ob
tained It from him, which he planted
near his home ut Abingdon, Va., where
it became the progenitor of all the
weeping willows In America.
Anemone Fiictfi.
Naturalists have duly recorded that
that if a sea anemone be divided in
halves longitudinally a new animal will
In time be reproduced by each half, as
suming tlie anemone is kept in pure sea
water. An old zoologist relates how ho
watched an anemone which somehow
or other had contrived to Half swallow
one of the valves of an oyster shell.
Practically the shell struck in its giz
zard and gradually cut its way down
through the soft tissues of the anem
one until it halved the animal as by
a partition. Perfect reproduction of
two anemones through the division of
one was noted to be the result of this
accident. Even a fragment or two of
an anemone body left attached to its
rock may in due season reproduce a
new body.—London News.

Anaong *lbe numerous superstitions
of the Cossacks there is none stronger
than the belief that they will enter
heaven In a better state if they are per
sonally clean at the time they are killed.
Consequently before an expected battle
they perform their toilets with scrupu
lous care, dress themselves In clean
garments and put on the best they
have. This superstition Is not confined
to the < 'ossacks alone, but is widely
prevalent In all branches of the Rus
sian army.
