Party Policy and the President.
Our Washington Correspondence.
The fate of Federal office hold
ers, especially in the South, is excit
ing a good deal of interest in this
city nowadays, one essential ques
tion being whether President Roose
velt will continue in South Carolina
and other states the efforts begun
by President LcKinley to build up a
white Republican party and throw
overbeard the old scandalous black
and tan republican combination.
Another question, even more im
portant, concerns the future of Sen
ator Hanna. It is well known that
for the last year or two, practically
every appointment in the South was
made only with his approval, and
that he had thus built up for him
self a most powerful machine on
which he relied to secure his nomi
nation in 1904—this despite his as
sertions ihat it was foolishness to
talk of him for president. Now the
question is whether these men, who
owe allegiance to the Ohio man, will
be reappointed when their terms ex
pire. If they are, they will consider
that Hanna saved them, will still
maintain their fealty to him, and
will support him when the national
convention meets. If, on the con
trary, Mr. Roosevelt puts in his own
men, they will support him.
An almost identically similar sit
uation exists in regard to New York,
where Senator Platt,'who has always
been regarded as Roosevelt’s enemy,
has dictated the disposition of the
offices. Will he be allowed to re
tain this control, and use it to an
tagonize Roosevelt in 1904, or will
the new president build up a ma
chine of his own there? To those
who undertand the great power ex
ercised by the Federal office holders,
the question is a most interesting
one.
Stricken With Paralysis.
Henderson Grimetb, of this
place, was stricken with partial
paralysis and completely lost the
use of one arm and side. After
being treated by an eminent phy
sician for quite a while without
relief, my wife recommended
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and af
ter using two bottles of it he ia al
most entirely cured.-—Geo. R.Mc-
j Donald, Man, Logan county, W.
1 Va. Several other very .remarka
ble cures of partial paralysis have
been effected by the use of this
liniment. It is most widely
known, however, as a cure for
rheumatism, sprains and bruises.

What He Took With Him.
Jerome K. Jerome had an uncle
of unusually methodical manner who
was noted for always being supplied
with necessary comforts on the jour
neys he was compelled to make, says
the Chicago Chronicle, and Mr. Je
rome says this was the system he
followed:
Take a piece of paper and put
down on it everything you can pos
sibly require. Then go over it and
see that it contains nothing you can
possibly do without.
Imagine yourself in bed. What
have you got on? Very well, put it
down, together with a change You
get up. What do you do? Wash
yourself. What do you wash your
self with? Soap. Put down soap.
Go on until you have finished. Then
take your clothes. Begin at your
feet. What do you wear on your
feet? Boots, shoes, socks. Put them
down. Work up till you get to your
head. What do you want besides
clothes? Put down everything.
This is the plan the old gentle
man always pursued. The list made,
he would go over it carefully to see
that he had forgotten nothing. Then
he would go over it again and strike
out everything it was possible to
dispense with. Then he would lose
the list.
A burgler broke into the house
of Charles Sainuel, in Syracuse,
N.Y., the other night, and was so.
careless as to upset and smash
some crockery. Mr. Samuels was
awakened by the noise. Seizing
a small cologne bottle which he
held as if it were a pistqlj Mr.
Samuels bluffed his burgler into
a corner and made him hold up
his hands. Then he*went through
the burgler’s pocket and. extract
ed $10. Estimating the value of
the broken crockery,- Mr. Sam
uels took the worth of it out of
the $10, handed the. burgler the
change and kicked him out of the
door. At least that is a newspa
per story of the occurrence.
There is much talk now about
so amending the immigration laws
as to exclude anarchists, and it is
hoped that it will be done. The
law should be strict on this point
and the emigrant should be com
pelled to assert his belief, not on
ly in some form of government,
but his belief in our form of gov
ernment. And while he is swear
ing, it would not hurt him to de^
clare that he accepts the Declarac
tion of Independence as his polit
ical creed.-—The Commoner.
The excitement incident to
traveling and change of food and
water often brings on diarrhoea,

leave home without a bottle of

As a result of the conference be
tween President Roosevelt and Gen
eral wood, governor general of Cuba,
it has been determined to negotiate
a reciprocity agreement between the
United States and that island, the
agreement to be- sent-to congress
early in December.

THE HARVEST MOON.
The harvest moon is the full moon
which comes on or near the 21st of
Septe mber. Its peculiarity is that
it rises more closely after sunset for
a number of evenings after the full
than any other full moon in the
year. This results in four or five
successive nights being almost en
tirely moonlit, and the opportunity
thus given for evening work in har
vesting has led to this full moon be
ing distinguished by the name of
harvest moon.
The difference between the moon’s
time of rising on successive nights
averages about fifty minutes. The
greatest difference, "occurs in the
spring, when it may reach an hour
and a half. The harvest moon may
rise over half an hour late each
night, while under the most favora
ble conditions the difference is only
about ten nrnutes. The full moon
following September likewise rises
but little later from night to night,
and is called the hunter’s moon.
The moon’s orbit makes the last
angle with the horizon at the autumn
equinox, and as it becomes, in ad
vancing one day’s motion along its
orbit, depressed below the horizon
than at any other time, it has but a
little greater hour angle to travel
over each succeeding night after
sunset to bring it into view. Hence
the full moon for so many succes
sive evenings in late Sep tern ber.-Ex.
When the funeral dirge has died
away,. when the sad heart sobs are
hushed, when the emblems of exter
nal grief have been laid aside for the
more real things of daily life—say a
year hence—we can better decide
whether or not we really desire to
erect in Georgia a rharble shaft to
the memory of the late President; or
whether it would be more appropri
ate to contribute, if individuals so
desire, to one which will be erected
in time at the capital of the country.
There is no occasion for haste or
hysteria; nor will there be any im
propriety in' any Georgian contrib*
uting to a monument to. McKinley,
provided he sees that his name ap
pears as “cash” in the printed roll of
subscribers.—Macon Telegraph.
A Fiendish Attack.
An attack, was lately made on C.
F. Collier of Cherokee, Iowa, that
nearly , proved fatal. It came
through his kidneys. His back" got
so lame he could not stoop without
great pain, nor sit in a chair except
propped' by cushions. No remedy
helped Him until he tried Electric
Bitters which effected such a won
derful change that he writes he feels
like a hew man. This marvelous
medicine cures backache and kidney
trouble, purifies the blood and builds
up your health. Only 50c at
Hoitzclaw’s Drug Store.
Much of the unhealthfulness of
country life comes from inattention
to or neglect of sanitary details.
Not to mention the suffering and
possible death occasioned by sick
ness, the amount paid for one doc
tor’s bill through a protracted case
of illness would pay for all the work
necessary to keep the filth, around a
farm house removed for a whole
year.—Southere Farm Magazine.
