PAYINCi POLL TAXIS TO lXl'Rli:
VOTI.
The practice of paying pill
taxes to secure vote?, shouM be sibol
ished Judge Webb deliveied a sensible
charge oa this subject to a grand jury
recently iu a Western county when
he eaid that the "practice of paying
poll taxes for the express purpose of
securing votes was a most disrept
able oue and should not be counte
nanced by the honest electorate of the
county. He further declared that
under the statute poll taxes could
only be paid by the voters themselves
and not by others whose purpose it
was to secure their votes, that the
payment f ueh taxes under ouch
conditions was nothing lees thau
bribtry and both the giver and the
taker were guilty under the law.

The Courier has on its list a Luge
number of subscribers who move
every now and then. They be
long to the teneuts class in the
country and the laboring class in
the towns largely. We ask that, if
you move, you send us a letter or a
postal card saying "change my paper
from postoflice to
post oflbe, and give the 3ame name
or initials a3 is riiit 'd on the label
of your paper. This is an impor
tant matttr to us and we hope that
everyone will attend to it promptly.
If aty friend know 3 any sub
scriber to the Courier who has moved
from their community to another
community, please give us like in
formation for there are many in
stances ia which the paper is going
to subscribers who have moved away.
We have often asked the poet-masters
to do this, but they do not always
do it. We again call upon them
and also call upon our friends in the
c:mmunity who may know of these
facts to inform us and oblige.
Ik is well, in a conservative way,
to keep before the people the great
principles for which we strive and
which make for the good of all.
There should never be indiffereace
in the welfare of the public. The
Democratic party Bhould gtt ready
for an aggressive campaign. The
armor should be on and the enemy
kept at bay if not put to flight.
The Courier has no pets or favor
ites. It has no enemies to punish.
It believes in the rule of the people
and always urges the people to ex
press their choice in the primaries
and conventions. This is the way
to keep down ring rule. It believes
in no cliques or caucus rule, but the
nntrammeled will of the people,
freely expressed, without restriction
or prejudice, with an eye single to
the public good ia the party prima,
r'.es tnd convention. The Courier
always supports the party nominees
It never allows its prejudice or pref
erences to sway orinflnenceit against
the combined wisdom of the people
whose will has been determined in
the fair and just methods used un
der the plan of organization of the
party prepared and designed for the
public good for the benefit of a lib.
erty-levmg, free people.
Everyone should study the aff airs
of county and state and see which
party has given the best government
and the most economical manage
ment of affairs. These matters
should be considered dispassionately,
purely for the public good, and not
from a pr judiced or biased stand
point.
Indirect methods, partisan bitter
ness and personal abuse and corrupt
and questionable methods, should
not be practiced or tolerated, and he
who resorts to such methods should
receive the condemnation he so justly
' deserves.
It is true that corruption should
be exposed and a spade should be
called a spade, but it should be done
in a decent manner when necessary.
In dealing with men who are crook
ed it nevertheless becomes necessary
to hew to the line, let the chips fall
where thej may.

Natural advantages are helpful to
any community. Fine homes, beau
tiful churches and great industrial
enterprises do much. There are
many things which help to build a
town and make it prosperous, but the
one thing needful is a get together
spirit, a oneness of purpose, a uuity
of the people, the putting astdd of
all dilL-rencs when the interests of
the town are at stake.
GOOD ROADS TELL STORY.
l-'i-aiu-e spends IH.O(:,li) a Year in
Result's.
LouUville CiiurioJuuruuM
The existence or nonexistence of
roads determines the question of
whether a c sua try is occupied by a
civiliz-d people or bv savages. Bun
lhirly the degree of the euligntuient
of a country or section of a country
might be ascertained by passing
over it in a .balbon and studying
with glasses the extent and i h trader
of its system of rout's. To its roads
builders no less thau to its warriors,
were due -the giowth and great
ness of tlie Roman empire. , Nut the
least of the surviving monuments
that attest the genius of the Houiaii3
is the Appian Way, which was be
gun by Caesar Appius Claudius
mere t han t wo thousaud years ago.
It is the beast of Great Britain
thather roads prove the quality of
her civilization, and that the high
ways she has constructed in her
African and Asian possessions prove
the beneficence of her rule. France,
which is famous for the thrift of it3
working classes, probably leads the
world today in the completeness of
her system of roads'and their quality
With an area only about five times
as great as that of Kentucky, France
has spent $600,000,000 m the con
struction of public road?, and spends
annually 3 per cent of the coat of
construction $18,000,000 keeping
them in repair.
One of the most successful men of
America when acked to what he at
tributed his success replied:
' I built my fortune on the dial
of my watch; seconds became pennies,
minutes became dimes, hours be-
came dollars. I gave a money value
to every tick, and I took advantage
of everything that economized time.
I never procrastinate; 1 never wait
for other people to get ahead of me.
I keep my eyes and ears open for op
portunities; I look well into whatever
seems gcod to me; when my judg
ment approves, I act promptly and
with decision. I don't know th?t
there is any particular rule or law
of success, but I'm pretty sure that
one of the foundation principles is
'Don't lose Time."
Time saving, which means the in
telligent use ef time, is undoubtedly
one of the great factors of success in
any walk of life; and that is why in.
ventire genius is kept busy devising
means to multiply the values of a
day. Anything that enables a man
to do more with less effort saves time
and energy and permits him to un
dertake much that was impossible
before. The steam engine, the tele
graph, the telephone, the automo
bile, the electric motor, the type
writer, the perfected printing press,
etc. etc., are time-savers that in fifty
years have done more toward the de
velopment of civilization and the
increase of the world s wealth than
has been accomplished in a thousand.

der. Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The aeasen for coughs and colds is now
at hand and too much care cannot be need to
protect the children. A child is much more
likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever
when he has a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many
mothers, and few of those whe have tried it
are willing to use any other Mrs. F. F.
Startcher, of Ripley, W. Va., says: "I have
never nsed anything other than Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy for ray children, and it
has always given good satisfaction." This
rernridy contains no opium or other narcotic
and may be given as confidently to a child as
o a adult. For sale by all Druggists.
Previous to 1800, tallow dips and
wax caudles were the only sources of
light; then came gas lighting and
about 1850 the oil lamps came, be
coming very widely used in the six
ties. In 1S76 the first aro light was
used in a lighthouse and later they
were installed for street illumiDa
t!on. The incandescent lamp was
discovered by Edison in 1880 and
the latest development in electric
lighting, the new metal filament
lamps, is only about a year eld.
