Platform of John R. Spence.
As it is impossible for me to make
a canvass of die county, 1 will state
my position through the press on
some of tlie questions in which the
people are interested.
1st. While 1 do not believe in a
\ miserly policy, I do think that those
j who spend the people’s money
I should exercise as much econony as
i the prudent man does in the con
duct of his own affairs.
2nd. We need better laws to pro
tect the farmers against spurious
fertilizers, should the goods fail to
come ud tojthe guaranteed analysis,
the purchaser should not be requir
ed to pay anything therefor, such a
law would protect not only the
consumer, but the honest manufact
ure! .
flrd. Gur jury system needs re
vision, surely tiiere are more titan
two hundred and fifty upright and
intelligent men in Carroll County.
4th. Our insectivorous birds
should be protected for a peroid of
years, their destruction with fire
arms should cease. If there be a
surplus, the farmers and his crop-
er’s boys should be permitted to
set traps during a limited season.
5 No discrimination in freight rates
should he allowed. The town with
out competition should have the
same rates as the town .with com
petition.
0 1 an in favor of paying the
solicitors of our courts salaries.
They should have no pecuniary
interest in the prosecution of the
of the accused.
7 Our county officers should be
required to keep the itemized ac
count of all fees received and sub'
mit the same to the Grand Jury
for inspection.
8 I am opposed to creating offices
for the sole purpose of furnishing
politicians out of jobs lucrative
positions.
9 The dog law passed by present
Legislature is a miserable failure.
It is void of equity or justice.
10. I am opposed to any infring-
ment on the rights of the people by
any organization, be it medical or
otherwise.
11. 1 am in favor of a Stringent
anti-lobby law.
12. Our road authorities should
have the power and should be re-
quired to allow those working out
their time on the public roads a
just and equitable price. It would
be difficult to set a price that would
be fait and just'all the time and in
all the counties. The price of labor
may be higher or it may be lower
next year than it is this.
I3 I would emphasize the neces
sity for better rural schools. 1 am
more interested in this than all the
other issues combined. The State
is very liberal when it comes to
making appropriations for our high
er institutions of learning but, con
sidering the vast interest at stake,
exceedingly parsimonious when it
comes to providing for our common
schools. Trained and experienced
lobbyists besiege t'ie Legislature in
the interest of the former, while
there seems to be no one to champ
ion the cause of the latter. 1 belitve
that in Carroll County, tne school
funds should be prorated to the
various school districts in proportion
to the number of children of school
age in said districts.
145 I am opposed to a cempulsary
education law. if you force the
white to send to school, you must
do the same for the negro. Give
us good schools and the white man
needs no compulsary law. Let the
negro goto the cotton patch where
he belongs.

Partial Forgiveness.
A farmer, believing himself to be
dying, sent for a clergyman and
somewhat shocked that good man
by the olfhand, easy wny in which
he announced his fitness to die.
Pressed upon certain topics, partic
ularly upon the question of forgive
ness to his enemies, he said he for
gave everybody who had injured
him, “except Johnny Smith.”
John had played him such a trick
about the sale of a certain cow that
the farmer declared nothing should
make him forgive him. Impressed
by the exhortations of the clergy
man and moved by fear of the con
sequences of dying unforgiving and
unforgiven, he turned to the minis
ter and said, with an air of satisfac
tion at having hit off a solution of
the difficulty: “All right. Jest as
you say. If I die I forgive him,
but if I live, by jiminy, he’d better
look out!”
A Long Greek Word.
What is believed to he the long
est word to he found in any diction
ary, one that loaves even German
and Dutch hopelessly .out of it, may
bo turned up in Liddell and Scott’s
lexicon by those who can read
Greek characters. Those who can
not may he content to know that
this word, which begins “lepadotev
ntachosclachogaleo,” proceeds in
like manner through Beventy-eight
syllables and counts 170 letters i»
all. Of course no ancient Greek
ever used such a word as this in or
dinary conversation. It is a comif
word invented by Aristophanes f(|
rythmical delivery in one of hii
plays and means a dish compounded
of all sorts of fish, flesh, fowl and
sauces, which arc enumerated in the
word. The most ingenious English
translation of it yet suggested if
“bnsli.”

CURES

to This Famous Remedy.
Oronogo. Mo.—“I was simply a ner
vous wreck. I could not walk across
tie floor wit It out
my heart fluttering
and I could not e veil
receive 11 letter.
Every month I had
such a bearing down
sensation, as if the
lower parts would
fall out. Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound has
done my nerves a
great deal of good
and lias alsorelieved
the bearing down. I recommended it
to some friends and two of them have
been greatly benefited by it.”—Mrs.
Mae McKnigtit, Oronogo, Mo.
Another Grateful Woman.
St. Louis, Mo. — “I was bothered
terribly with a female weakness and
bad backache, bearing down pains and
pains in lower parts. I began taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound regularly and used the Sanative
Wash and now I have no more troubles
that way.” —Mrs. An. Herzog, 5722
Prescott Ave., St. Louis, Mo.
Because your case is a difficult one,
doctors having done you no good,
do not continue to suffer without
giving Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound a trial. It surely has cured
many cases of female ills, such as in
flammation, ulceration, displacements,
fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic
pains, backache, that bearing-down
feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner
vous prostration. It costs but a trifle
to try it, and the result is worth mil
lions to many suffering women.
&
The Fourth District Agricultural and
Mechanical School.
The school is located one mile west of Carrollton on one of the
most public roads in the county. It lias a farm of 275 acres, three
handsome brick buildings, erected at a cost of $30,000, and a two-story
framed house used as a girls’ dormitory and a barn.
About one hundred acres of the farm is in cultivation. The re
maining lands are in original forest and second growth pines.
1 he boys dormitory has 42 living rooms, each of which can ac
commodate two, bath rooms and closets. The academic building has
six large recitation rooms, an auditorium with a seating capacity of
500, cloak, sewing and library rooms. The Aycock building, which
was named for, the lamented Joseph A. Aycock, has two stories. The
first story is used for shop rooms, and the upper story is used for din
ing hall, kitchen, pantry, etc. 1 his is one of the most convenient as
well as one of the prettiest buildings on the farm.
J he farm is fairly well equipped with mules, dairy herd, hogs,
sheep, goats and farming implements. ^
1 lie school was opened Nov. 6th, 1906, with more than a hundred
pupils, and during this year about 150 pupils have been enrolled.
The object for which the school was established is three-fold; viz.:
The training of farmer boys and girls, (a) in the ordinary high school
studies, (b) in farm mechanics, (c) in agriculture. The girls take a
domestic science course instead of agriculture.
1 lie school has had a hard struggle up to the present time. There
ha\e been many doubting Thomases as to the feasibility of running
an Agricultural School successfully. Many have thrown stones in the
way of its progress, forgetting that farming is a science of the highest
and noblest order, and that the farmer is the only class of people who
has not established for himself a school for learning his business. But
tlieii skepticism lias given way and those who have not seen have
seen those who have seen and the result is most all are convinced of
the practicability of an agricultural school.
Inseparably connected with the A. & M. School are the names of
L. C. Mandeville and J. A. Aycock. These men conducted the erec
tion of the buildings at cost of material and labor plus one per cent.,
and have not collected for their commission. In addition to this have
donated liberally of their money and influence.
There arc other gentlemen who deserve mention in this connec
tion, to wit: Messrs. J. C. Bass, H. C. Stewart, W. J. Stewart, Sidney
IToldetness and J. 1. Bradley, whose liberal contributions came at a
time they were most needed. The school is much indebted to the
many contributions made by hundreds of the citizens of Carroll.
The school derives its support by a tax imposed on fertilizer tags.

trict has a representative on the Board of Control whose term of office

agriculture, stock raising, horticulture, aborculture, and the conserva
