A mottier who is in good physical — - :i ~ *■- 1 — cnilc 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.

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.

But It is an imposing array, and Sumter is proud of the fact that those 1 ■ i„ „„ nfnxlnl caua- 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; Mint tho wnrlr nf tha fftdher is to be It Matters About the Nothing adds so much to the attractiveness of a pretty home as does pretty matting, and the season approaches when the sitting room, the parlor and sleeping rooms as well should be given their new spring dressing. From the standpoint of attractive ness and sanitation, nothing equals matting as a floor cov ering. 6 __ ** The A. W. Smith Furniture Co.

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.
