Just what is to be thought of a
man who will deliberately vote
for candidates known to be en
gaged in lawless business is a
proposition hard to solye. To
ay the least, it ii not a creditable
thing to do.
THE THIRD TERM RULE.
The colonel (?) knows how to
raise a tax on dogs and spend the
people's money, and the people
are learning how to vote. He
will certainly hare to improra
on his primary strength or
hunt a seat away back in the rear.
Returni indicate that Theo.

that President Taft'i efforts to
turn our nation ore to the Catho

he will fail to get the nomination
at Ghioago. Good !
For laok of ipace we will giro
only a summary of the Vote cast
in the Democratic primary Sat
urday. This summary shows
eonolusirely that a league, was
formed between, the lawless whisk

who f arored the clubs were favor

their pets were trimmed do n to
make room for some whom it was
thought were more likely to win,
but combinations were especially
made to keep out dry men who
were making too much headway
for the lawless cusses' ease. A
apeeiinen of lome of the schemes
mplojed is the fsct that there
was about 100 more votes in the
North Ward box than Democratic
oten in the precinot, many of
whom did not enter the primary
at all.

III Considered In till 6iBT8Mioi.
On Monday April 9th, 1900, the
Rowan Democracy in convention
assembled very wisely pledged
the party to what is known . as a
third term rule. Up to that time
men had gone into office snd
managed to manipulate things,
term after term until death over
took them and that seemed the
only way to get rid -of them. The
men in the ranks got good and
tired of this manner of holding
office. Quite a n amber left the
party because of it and if such
resolutions had not been passed
Rowan would long since have been
ih the Republican column. This
same thing again B9ems to threat
en the party, If the rule is now
broken it will be looked upon as
void . and non effective in the
future and every oounty officer will
enter , the raoe each successive
two years as sure as fate, that
is if they are "elected this fall and
ehave ih opportunity to do so.
The Watchman thinks the par
ty owes it to itself to re-affirm al
legiance to the third-term rule
and make it plain that candidates
who have served three terms will
not be considered in future con
ventions of the party, also that a
man who has held one office three
times oannot be considered should
he immediately offer for another.
The resolutions of 1900to)low:
Whereas, In view of the fact
that the Democratic voters of
Rowan county have by their votes
recorded themselves as being fa
vorable to rotation in office, thus
affirming their opposition to life
tenure, Be it resolved:
1st. That the Democrats of
Rowan county in convention as
sembled reaffirm their belief in
the wisdom and juBtice of rota
tion in office.
2nd. That is the sentiment of
this convention that no county
officer should be elected to any of-
floe tor more than three consecu
tive terms.

The following letter from Mrs. Orville Rock will prove how unwise
It is for women to submit to the dangers of a surgical operation when it
maybe avoided by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
She was four weeks in the hospital and came home suffering
worse than before. Then after all that suffering lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound restored her health.
HERE IS HER OWN STATEMENT.
Paw Paw, Mich. "Two vears aen T mttemA
very severely with a displacement I could not
be on my feet for a long time. My physician
treated me for several months without much re
lief, and at last sent me to Ann Arbor for an op
eration. I was there four weeks and came home
suffering worse than before. My mother advised
me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and I did. To-day I am well and strong
and do all my own housework. I owe my health
to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
advise every woman who is afflicted with any
female complaint to try it." Mrs. Obvtllb Rook.

"THERE NEVER WAS A "WORSE CASE.
Hockport, Ind. " There never was a worse case of women's ills
than mine, and I cannot begin to tell you what I suffered. For over
two years I was not able to do anything. I was in bed for a month
and the doctor said nothing but an.operation would cure me. My
iainer suggested jjycua Eu rniKiiam s v egetaDie compound. ; so to
please him I took it, and I improved wonderfully, so I am able to
travel, ride horseback, take long rides and never feel anv ill effects
anv
from it. I can only ask other suffering women to give Lvdia E. Pink.
ham's Vegetable Compound a trial before submitting to an operation,"
Mrs. Mabqaret Meredith, R. F. D. No. 3, Rockport, Ind.
We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will prove to us
that these letters are not genuine and truthful or that either of these
women were paid in any way for their testimonials, or that the orig
inal letter from each did not come to us entirely unsolicited.
For 80 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for fe
male ills. No one sick with woman's ailments
does justice to herself who will not try this fa
mous medicine, made from roots and herbs, it
has restored so many suffering women to health.
