A Platform.
Statesmen and newspaper edi¬
tors are having a lot to say just
now about what should be put
into the next Democratic plat¬
form and what should be left out
of it.
While suggestions are in order,
how would this do?—
America for Americans, and
protection for citizens of the
United States wherever they go,
on land or sea, so long as they
behave themselves and don’t
steal anything
A tariff for revenue only.
Smash the trusts.
A strong navy.
Dig the Panama canal.
Dead issues eliminated.
Beat Roosevelt.—Albany Her¬
ald.
This is a conservative platform
and we have no objection to
brother McIntosh presenting it to
the convention when he goes to
St. Louis as one of the delegates
from the 2nd district.
Best cough Medicine for children
When yon buy a cough medicine
small children you want one in which
you can place implicit confidence. You
want one that not only relieves but
cures. You want one that is unques¬
tionably harmless. You want one that
is pleasant to take.
Cough Remedy meets all of these con¬
ditions. There is nothing so good for
the coughs and colds incident to child¬
hood. It is also a certain preventure
and cure for croup, and there is no dan¬
ger whatever from whooping cough
when it is given. It hits been used in
many epidemics of that disease with
perfect success. For sale by

Political Gathering Was a Mon¬
ster One.
Amerirus, Ga, April 1(5.—
Seven thousand people, repre¬
senting Sumter and a dozen
neighboring counties, attended
here today the most stupendous
and successful political
ever attempted in
Georgia.
The thirty candidates for of¬
fice in Sumter were hosts of the
occasion, and welcomed the mul¬
titudinous voters. Speeches
were limited only to the candi¬
dates for solicitor general: Frank
A, Hooper and James R. Wil¬
liams, who thorougnly entertain¬
ed the multitude.
Two tons of barbecued meat
made up the dinner, supplemen¬
ted by hundreds of baskets, and
a monster feast was spread for
the assembled thousands. Ameri
cus never experienced a more
harmonious and enjoyable politi¬
cal occasion.

tions from reputable physicians, as
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.

American Wheat is Superseding
Oriental Rice.
A strong point made by the
flour-mill magnates of the West
is that when any considerable
number of the millions of China
shall call for flour, the entire
wheat-growing area of the world
wiil not be sufficient to supply
the demand. “Even if all Japan
should become a flour-eating
people/’ he said “the whole
available supply of the Pacific
Coast would provide this com¬
modity for only twenty per cent,
of the population of that king¬
dom.”
There is likelihood, too, that a
greater portion of the inhabitants
of Japan wiil acquire the habit of
using flour. It wa9 represented
to the Mikado by his ablest ad¬
visers that, in modeling the Jap¬
anese army on the latest military
standard of the modern powers
the important natter of diet had
been overlooked. Not only had
all modern nations a standing
army but the food of these for¬
midable hosts consisted in groat
measure of wheat products. Rice
oating regiments, it was feared
might not be able successfully to
contend with a foe whose sinews
were built of wheat. Japan, to
be up-to-date, must maintain
not only a big, well-equipped,
and well drilled military force,
but its soldiers, like the men of
arms of other lands, must eat
flour. So an imperial edict went
forth recently; and now every
soldier in the armies of Japan
gets a daily ration of Oregon,
Washington, or California flour.
This uka&6..of the Emperor will
make the beginning of a very
important chapter in commercial
history, for this mandate on the
part of the Mikado has already
greatly stimulated the demand in
the kingdom for wheat products,
the people being alert to keep
abreast of whatever is decided to
be progress along modern lines.

Nothing Equal to Chamberlain's Colic, Chol¬
era and Diarrhoea Eemedy For
Bowel Complaint in Children.
“We have used Chamberlain’s Colie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in our
family for years,” says Mrs. J. B. Cooke
of Nederlawls, Texas. “We have given
it to all of our children. We have used
other medicines for the same purpose,
but never found anything to equal
Chamberlain’s. If you will use it as di¬
rected if will always cure.” For sale

Pointed Paragraphs.
From the Chicago News.
Fair, but false—the blond wig.
Law is a great thing—for law¬
yers.
Don't take things as t’ ey come
if they belong to other people.
If the druggist has no con¬
science, he usually has some¬
thing he considers equally good.
What a happy old world this,
would be if the people who lose
their tempers were unable to find
them again!
A successful man is one who
succeeds in making others think
as well of him as he thinks of
himself.
The man who thinks a good
deal of his wife should not at¬
tempt to conceal his thoughts
when he is alone with her.
When a young man tells a girl
he loves her for herself alone it’s
equivalent to an injunction
against interference from the¬
reat of the family.
The frankness with which a
17-year-old girl refers to herself
as an old maid is only exceeded
by the frankness with which she
denies it ten years later.
