LITTLE JOE MAKES SHORT WORK
OF CANDIDATE YANCY CARTER.
Points Out the Bad Faith of the In
dependence Candidate in Not
Keeping Primary Pledge.
Mr. W. Yancey Carter, the candi
date of the Independence party for
governor, had forgotten evidentlyl
Joseph M. Brown’s ability to handle‘
a pen when he challenged him to a
joint debate on state issues. In d‘
short statement given out at Val
dosta Mr. Brown states three rea-.
sons why he wouldn't notice the chal
lenge, any one of which is so con
&lusive that Mr. Carter will hardly
renew it.
Mr. Brown points dut that, accord
ing to his own admission, Mr. Car
ter entered the gubernatorial prima
ry, and because his candidate was
defeated he proposes to bolt and run
for the governorship himself. Very
quietly, but none the less emphati
cally, Mr. Brown .says that he
"wouldn't show proper respect for his
party if he were to recognize a bholter
as a legitimate candidate against its
nominee,
It wasn’t necessary for Mr. Brown
to say anything more. That was
enough to settle Mr. Carter. The
latter went into the primary and,
therefore, should abide by the result
of it. = He doesn’'t scem disposed to
do so. ‘'therefore, the democratic
Warrenton, N. C.—l was nearly dead
with kidney affection for six months,
growing worse all the time. My case
was hopeless—was unable to get about
but little. I had tried everything with
fittle benefit. 1 took three bottles of
Stuart’s Buchu and Juniper and was
perfectly cured. Am now well and all
right. I owe my life to Stuart’s Buchn
and Juniper.—H. T. Macon.
If you suffer with backache, dull head
ache, Bwollen feet, stiff joints, and have
no energy and see imaginary specks in
the air, you have symptoms of kidney
irouble.

candidate for governor is under no
Carter more than a- #moment's
thought. If he wasn’'t prepared to
abide by the result of the primar'y
he shouldn’t have taken part in it,
and if he was he is estopped from
asking support Jfrom the people.
When he voted in the primary he
virtually said that he approved the
doctrines of the democratic party,
land would support its candidate. He
ihasn't kept faith with the party, and
' hence, there is no good reason why
%Mr. Brown should regard his chal
lenge seriously. If he were to accept
ithe challenge he would subject him
' self to criticism from his party.
i Mr. Carter says Mr. Frown was
chosen in the primary by means of
(frauds. Why didn’t he find that out
'before he was nominated by the In
|dependence party, and why doesn't he
|undertake to show there were
|frauds of a grave character? Ts it
ibevauso he cannot? That will be
| the impre\ssi(m unless he backs up
| his statement in a convineing way.
'A simple charge counts for nothing,
"especiull_v when it is denied.
The other charge, namely, that
Mr. Brown isn't a democrat, that Mr.
Carter makes against Mr. Brown
isn't worth noticing. A man who
has voted the siraight“denu)oratic
ticket sinc® he was twenty-one wpars
of age, and who is going to vote it
‘again this year, is good enough dem
~ocrat to be the candidate of the
%dmno('r:lt'i(- party for any office. Mr.
‘iCzn'tvr hadn't considered the reasons
| for his challenge carefully when he
}issued it. In view of the fact, how
l(+w'e*r. that the people of the state are
inot very much disturbed by Mr. Car
| ter's candidacy it is a safe statement
that they are not permitting his chal
lenge of Mr. Brown to worry them.

changed his mind and fled. He says
fnarriage was not his idea, anyhow.
‘“Miss Hauff's mother used to he

“and I had seen her a number of
times when she came to visit her
mother, One night recently I went

What Happened to a Girl in New York
What happened to seventeen-year
old Lucy Green last winter when she
arrived in New York seeking work,
without friends or money, is the real
story of a real girl, told by the girl
herself in October Woman's Home
Companion.
The first day she was directed to
the Margaret Louisa Home, conduct
ed by the Young Women’'s Christian
Association. After many waits and
delays she was passed on to the chap
lain of the institution. This is what
took place with the chaplain:
“As gently as poss.vle she broke
the news that the Margaret Louisa
Home was not the boarding place for
which 1 was seeking. The rates were
too high for any one save a girl who
was already well fixed in business.
A single room would cost me sixty
cents a day, breakfast and luncheon
twenty-five cents each and dinner
thirty-five cents. I was probably
looking for a working-girls’” home.
1 apologized for my mistake, saying
that I had ‘read much of the Mar
garet Louisa Home and Supposedgjt
was a home for working girls. And
then as gently as before she ex
plained that it was a transient hotel

UNCLE SAM THIS YEAR POISON
ED 1,000,000 OF THEM.
The Little Animal Is a Pest to the
Western Farmer, and a Hin
drance to Agriculture.
Mercilessly Uncle Sam has been on
the warpath this summer, and more
wholesale murder has been the result
than at any time in the history of
the country since the ruthless extinc
tion of the buffalo.” This savage war
fare has not been waged with powder
and shot, but with subtle poison,
and the victims haye not been men or
rattlesnakes, but the pretty and ap
parently harmless prairie dogs. For
years the prairie dogs have been the
pest of western farmers, who have
tried, but ineffectively, to get rid of
them. The department of- agricul
ture, quick to aid the farmer in ev
eYy possible way, took a hand in the
matter this summer, and after trying
several other ways of annihilation,
decided that poison was the most
practicable means of ridding the soil
of the pests, with the result that
nearly a million victims fell at the
for self-supporting women, not for—
er—working girls. 1 saw the dis
tinction.
‘“She then gave me the addresses
of real homes for working girls—
Mrs. Huntington's at 140 East 16th
street, and ‘The Co-operato,” 444
West 23d street.
“*‘Can you suggest where I had
best look for work? I inquired has
tily.
‘“‘Work? Well, this is a very bad
time of the year to get into the
stores. They are letting girls out.
Governesses, too, have all been en
gaged!’
“By this time she was stanging up.
She hoped I would enroll with the
association. It cost only one dollar
a year, and T would enjoy the libra
ry. The Tuesday night lecture for
members was especially interesting.
She said good-by, without offering
to shake hands—and my relations
with Young Women’s Christian Asso
ciation were closed. o
‘“Apparently the New York branch
of the Y. W. C. A. is for women who
have proven their ability to be self
supporting. It offers nothing to the
girls starting on the road to self
support. The Margaret Louisa Home
is not a ‘home.” It is an admirably
conducted, reasonably priced tran
sient hotel for women who do not
care to patronize hotels where,men
are admitted.” .

~ The prairie dog is a great hin
}drance to agriculture. If he chooses
%a spot that appears suitable for a
pleasant home he gathers his kith
and kin, and in a comparatively short
time his tribe has multiplied at com
pound rates until solid acres are not
commodious enough'for the family.
They make the soil almost useless.
Their holes are connected by minia
ture .tunnels, ‘5O that while the
ground may appear solid it is in
reality unsafe and dangerous to man
and beast. The death of many rid
ers on the plains is a silent testimo
nial to the iniquity of the prairie
dog.
How the Poison Worked.
The stockmen of the west urged
the department of agriculture to take
some measures to check the increas
ing annoyances from the €ogs, and
the relentless warfare followed.
Range improvement in national for
ests is one of the.chief objects of
grazing regulation, and the forest
‘service was charged with the work
!ot‘ extermination. The first experi
| ments were made in parts of Lead
lvil]e and Pike national forests, where
{the praria dogs populated a territory
lof 300 square miles. A dog town
;of 75 acres was selected, and poison
iwas prepared by coating wheat with
Istrichnine solution made alluring by
imolasses and anise seed, a combina
gtion which no prairie dog can resist.
| This poisoned wheat was placed at
'the mouth of each hole, and the men
!soon became so expert at their work
| that they could ride along on a horse
'and drop the death dealer with great
irapidity. The dogs ravenously ate
{the poisoned grain, and in less than
:an hour 90 per cent. of them died.
‘The crafty ones which escaped the
Ifirst feast, or those who were not
' hungry at that time, were killed on
'the second trip of the foresters, and
ih a short time every dog was dead.
;Next spring the forest service prom
ises to go into the killing business
on a larger scale.
’ When you have a cold you may be
sure that it has been caused indi
rectly by constipation, and conse
quently you must- first of all take
something to move the bowels. This
is what has made Kennedy’s Laxa
tive Cough Syrup so successful and
so generally demanded. It does not
constipate like most of the old fash
ioned cough cures, but on the other
hand it gently moves the bowels and
at the same time heals irritation and
allays inflanfmation of the throat.

THIS METHOD OF DISPOSING OF
DEAD IS NOT IN FAVOR.
Thirty-Six Crematories in the United
States, and Last Year 4,000
Bodies Were Consumed.
The French International Crema
tion Society of Paris is much dis
couraged because the people all over
the world will not become more rec
onciled to the burning instead of the
burying of their dead. The society
was organized for the purpose of
making cremation popular, but it can
not bring the average anan and wo
man to see that it is better to he
incinerated than placed in the
ground. Almost every person who ig
cremated goes that way becauze of
an expressed desire before death t 0
be disposed of in a crematory after
the visit of the grim monster. Those
left behind seldom dispose of their
dead in this way, voluntarily.
The society is doing its utmo=t 10
induce the French peofle to burn
rather than to bury their dead. OW
ing to its efforts the number of in
cinerations is growing from year 10
vear, but the increase is hardly per
ceptible,
Most of the eremations in I'rance
occur in Paris, as the country people
do not take to this method of dispos
ing of the dead. America has the
largest annual number of (‘l‘emzniun‘s.
There are thirty-six crematories 1
the United States, in which last vear
nearly four thousand bodies were
consumed.
The greater number of the cremds
tions in this country, it is cluimed,
take place in the case of f()l‘(*i:l;n?l'sv
Germany has fifteen crematories
which last year incinerated uearly
three thousand bodies. In the AT
gentine Republic there were 976 cre
mations, in Switzerland 721, in (ireat
Britain 705, and in Italy 442.
Cremation has never been 1”‘1””3"
among the people of the south. Thi
may be because it is necessary 10
send bodies such a great distance to
be cremated. Crematories are €¥
pensive things, and they cannot be
erected in a community where t.hefe
is not sufficient sentiment in [aver
of cremation to keep them Dbusy.
