With the Candidates.
The Herald held open house
all day Saturday and met many
i
and
subscribers;
of new
old friends,
and made a number
friends.
The afternoon was giyen prin-
cipally to candidates, who were
a jolly gentlemanly crowd, mak
ing things pleasant and lively
Noah Roark, candidate for coun-
ty attorney, made his first per
sonal call upon us, but had made
an acquaintance by proxy several
weeks ago when he placed hi|i
name in our columns. Chas. A.
Tosch, candidate for Tax Col-
lector, whose name is also in our
column, made us a short call and
took a few of his cards tor which
he had placed ,aa order when
here last week, Ben F. Cullum,
candidate f o r 'County Clerk,
seemed to think we had hot
treated him right because we
had failed to send him his bill,
but we promised to make that
right. R. M. Hudson, who is m
race for Tax Collector, accepted
the invitation we extended to
come over in his car to see the
Trades’ Day crowd, and was ac-
companied by Mrs. Hudson and
his son, Allen. Dan Harstor,
who was among the first to so
licit the support of the Lancas
ter people through the Herald
tp his candidacy for Sheriff
looked in on us. Crocket Low
rey. for commissioner from this
district, came in to fill his pock-
ets with cards. Matt Cobb,*who
claims Lancaster as his good
good luck corner, called and left
his announcement. Curtis P.
Smith, who desires to fill the
;v; ^ \
place to be vacated by lodge
Whitehurst, as ' fudge of the
County Court at Law, left his
announcement, and paid his re-
spect to the people of the com-
munity in general. Will Rey-
nolds, who is asking the people
for the office of Sheriff, came
while there were several others
in, and a very pleasant few min-
utes were spent. C. D. Smith was
•t home, so did not call. Other s
o were on the i
ed to call, but whose names had
previously been placed in our
announcement column, were
Judge W. F. Whitehurst, who
is asking to be promoted to the
Judgeship ot the 68th District
Court. Ollie Rawlins, candidate
for Sheriff, and S. T. Jackson,
candidate for District Clerk.
Sheriff Brandefiburg came m late
and, left his official announce-
ment. 4
Up to The Officers.^
The citizens of West Lancas-
ter were very indignant over a
performance pulled off in that
section of the city Wednesday
night. As reported to the Her-
ald seribe by a number of citi-
zens, a crowd of boys—some say
giris also—rocked the boose in
which Hunt lives, and Hunt pro-
ceeded to defend himself bv fir-
ing two shots in any direction
they might happen to go and fill-
ing the air with non-polite society
explosions. The citizens de-
mand protection from these riots
and as long as Hunt is a citizen
pf the town *he should be pro-
tected from such annoyances.
It would be well for every par-
ent to know tbe whereabouts of
their children before making too
much public demonstration, as
possibly some of it should be
us^d in a private seance with
said children. There is no ex-
cuse for being bullies or ruffians.
SHAVED HIS WAY
THROUGH COLLEGE
Some years ago, while visit-
ing a town in North Texas, a
former President of the Univer-
sity of Texas went into a barber |
shop to get a shave. Becoming^
attracted by the ruddy-faced,
pleasant mannered young bar
her who waited on him, he fell
into a conversation with him, in
the course of which he inquired
if he would not like to go to
college. The young man re-
plied, “One of the ambitions of
my life is to become a college
graduate. I see little hope of it
now, for I have a mother to
support and, besides, I am pay
ing the expenses of a sister
who is away at school. They
are both entirely dependent up-
on me and I must work to'sup-
port them.” “If you will come
to the University of Texas,” re-
plied the President, “I will let
you have a room at Brecken-
ridge Hall for your shop. I be-
lieve you can go to the Uni-
versity and still make as much
as you can in this small town.
The young man thought over
the proposition carefully and fi-
nally decided he would make tha
attempt: When October came
he shipped his barber’s outfit to
Austin, fitted up an attractive
shop in the boys’ dormitory,
took his examinations for ad-
mission to the University, and
went to work. His shop became
so popular that during the sec-
ond year another barber who
had a shop near the campus,
saw the advantage of having h
student barber connected with
his business. The young man
therefore moved his * chair,
where he worked short hours
and received greater pay. After
four years he graduated with
honors. Meanwhile, a friend
who had money became inter-
ested in him and helped him
through Rush Medical College
of Chicago. The. young mail is
now Happily married, a success-
ful practicing physician, and a
strong force for good in the
community in which he lives.
A helpful, sympathetic word
frqm a kind-hearted University
President came at the right mo-
ment to this ambitious poor
boy. This heroic young man is
an example of what is possible
in
suppo
chance.- -------------------

r Even in Scotland, np to the
middle of the eighteenth century,
Sabbath, according to a contempo-
rary writer, never “got rfboon tbe
Pass o’ Killiecrankie.” For genera-
tions after tbe reformation tbe High-
lander on Sunday “drove his cattle
to market, brought home his fuel,
baked his bread, fished, played shinty
and put the stone.” Sunday christen-
ings and penny weddings were com-
mon and the presbytery books mere-
ly sent warnings against piping, fid-
dling and dancing at them.
But in the lowlands the church
took a sterner view.* The assembly
forbade skippers and'sailors to begin
any voyage on the Lord’s day^ or to
“loose any ships, barks or boats.”
Aberdonians were fined if they failed
to attend worship, the goodman and
goodwife of the house contravening
paid 6s 8d and “ilk servant 2s
Scots,” a sore burden to be borne
in the seventeenth century. The rec-
ord of absentees is scanty.

CHINA’S FOREIGN ADVISERS.
China has now 23 foreign advisers
to the government, of whom Ger-
many claims the largest number,
having five representatives. Then
come Great Britain with four, and
Prance with three. Japan, Italy
and Denmark have two each, while
America, Russia, Holland, Belgium
and Sweden have only one each.

FROM LOCKHAftl?JSfAA___
Realizing the importance of GOOD SEED for
planting--especially this season —and believing
the Mebane Triumph to be the most popular seed
in this section, we arranged for a car load, which
has arrived and is in storage tor your inspection.
Mebane Cottqn Bolls are large, and
r#i
five-lock ; and under reasonable conditi®
give a Lint Turnout of abouf 38 per ceto
said to be early maturing and early fruiting, »—
on account of the large bolls is desirable picking,
but does not blow out easily.
This car of seed is guaranteed to us to be Early
Seed, Well Matured, Absolutely Clean, and put
in bags bearing the firm’s name (A. D. Mfebane
Cottpd Seed Co., Lockhfrt, Texas). Customers 1
wishing good planting seed can arrange to have
same held for them until the last week in March.
Price $1.50 per Bushel—S bu. to bag. *

says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mitts, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardiff, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before*I began to use
Cardiff,, my back and head would hurt so bad I
thought the pain would kitt me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of CarduL 1 began to feel like a new woman. 1 soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill
1 wish every suffering woman would give
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
a trial I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, _$ide ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman-
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
