Sumter county enjoys just now the
distinction of leading all of the 145
counties of Georgia In the number of
candidates for office, and the strength
of this valiant host increases as It
marches to the polls.
Twenty-nine patriots have thus an
nounced a willingness to lay all other
business aside and serve their county
—if the consent of the voters to this
end is given.
And others still will join the can-
didatal host.
The campaign is one of the most
spirited here in years, and the dis
cussion of politics and candidates Is
the all absorbing theme. Many have

LYDIA ELPINKHAM’S
VEGETABLE COMPOUND
All’s. M. Gilmer, of West Union,
S U, writes to Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass.
" I was greatly run down in health,
Buttering from a weakness peculiar to
mv sex. I hegan to take I.ydia E.
Pi'nkham’s Vegetable Compound, and
I was not only restored to health but
am the proud mother of a tine baby
..girl, 1 wish every sick and ailing
woman would give Lydia E. I’inkham's
Vegetable Compound a trial.”
IMrs. Paul Oliver, of St. Martin-
yillc, La., writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
i, “ For years I suffered from the worst
form of female troubles, and the doctor
said I could not get well without an
operation. Lydia E. Pinkham s Vege
table Compound restored me to perfect
health, and I have the sweetest little
baby girl. I will never cease to
praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s medicine.
FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia L. PmK-
ham’s Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, has been the
standard remedy for female ills,
and has positively cured thousands ot
women who have been troubled with
the worst forms. Why don t you
try it?

Others, still, will get into the

But it is a good-natured race, and

One thing can certainly be said in
favor of President Roosevelt. He
has the quality of persistency devel
oped to an unusual degree. When
he gets his mind directed toward a
certain end no one can ever accuse
him of faltering in his efforts to
accomplish what he is aiming at, or
with being fully satisfied
with one or two expressions of opin
ion. He has tenacity and aggressive
ness beyond measure, and while it
may seem at times as though the
country would he better off If be
would allow these traits of character
to have a well earned vacation there
are other times one cannot but en
dorse and applaud his continued dis
play of them.
Throughout his public career, and
more especially since he has been
in the White House, the president has
battled vigorously for the elimina
tion of false ideals as to labor.. He
has stressed the dignity, the impor
tance, the value of manual labor, of
association of brains and hands in
work that tells for the development
of the national industrial life. It
is not bis fault if men are not in
clined to take a more sensible view
as to the relative value of physfeal
as compared with mentaf labor. He
has certainly used his position
witli all the force at his command to
make Americans understand that
there is nothing degrading about
physical work, and that mental work
is not a whit more honorable than
that done by sheer brawn.
In his recent address to the Nat- i
ional Association he reiterated his -
views on this line, with ail of his!
old time forcefulness. No one can
question the wisdom and the accuracy
of such remarks as these:
‘‘One thing that I would like to
have you teaeh your pupils Is that,
whether you call the money gained
salary or wages does not make any
real difference, and that If by work
ing hard with your hands you get
more than If you work with your
head only It does not atone for it
to call the smaller amount salary.
“The term, ‘dignity of labor’ implies
that manual tabor Is as dignified as
mental labor, as, of course, it is.
Indeed, the highest kind of labor is
that which makes demands, upon the
qualities of both head and hand, of
heart, brain and body. Physical
(towers, physical address are neces
sities. They stand on a level with
intellect and only below character.
“Teach the boy and girl that their
business Is to learn their own live
lihood; teaeh the boy that he is to
be the homemaker, the girl that she
must ultimately he the homekeeper;

the attractiveness of a pretty

equals matting as a floor cov

The Amerlcus parish of the dio
cese of Georgia is greatly pleased at
the acceptance of the Bishopric by
Dr. F. F. Reese, which was tendered
at the diocesan convention, held in
Augusta recently.
When the committee called upon
Dr. Reese at Nashville some days
ago he asked for several days in
-which to consider the matter.
The salary of Bishop Reese will be
34,000 a year. Three or four months
will probably elapse before he is
<conspcrated bishop.
Bishop Reese is well known per
sonally to many of his parishioners
in Amerlcus and it was one of these
Captain John A. Cobb, who presented
his name in the Augusta meeting for
bishop of the diocese.
The Diocese of Georgia is to be con
gratulated upon having such a strong
and able man to preside over It.

Interest is added to the legislat

one of the two seats in the House.
Mr. Griffin’s announcement has been
expected by his friends for several
days, and now that he is actively in
the race they will accord him a very
strong support. Mr. Griffin is one
of Sumter's best known citizens, a
lifelong resident here, as was his
father before him, and his eminent
qualifications for the office he seeks

will secure for him a heavy vote in
