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.

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.

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 by Lewis Drug Co. 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. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat.
