The Hollow South.
The South In the. next Presidential
campaign will be found favoring a high
protective ta'fltf on -it? cotton nt leastv
Manufacturers ot woolen goods also see-
that protection must be bad ;and tho
South is getting to be the home of sucb
factories. The thousand. of cotton-, mills
and their number multiplying; at once
makes the old time stronghold of free
trade, ground upon which protection
most stand.
The Southern Democrat of ten years
ago sees that his free trade' fallacy won't
do ; he finds himself the beneficiary of
the protection tariff, so he wants it and
will demand it.
All the Democrats of all time have
howled, long and loud about the "rob
ber tariff." That was the one giant that
they stood up and assailed with a re
lentless force.
The "robber tariff" was in the mouth
of every true born Southern because,
you know, he had nothing to protect.
But now it is different, altogether differ
ent, and the Southern Democrat is cast
ing about, and the only hole he sees to
crawl into is marked Republican. lie
understands now.that his cotton product
must be protected j he sees as the South
advances as a manufacturing section, it
must have protection, and you need not
be surprised to hoar the Southern Dem
ocrats pretty soon demanding a higher
tariff than the Republicans ever dream
ed of. And would not that jar yonr slats?
But they will do it.
Branding the State Highway depart
ment as "mismanaged," and the roads
built under its direction "exorbitant
failures," Farmer William T. Creasy,
president of the State Grange, delivered
a fiery address at the Snyder county
Farmers' institute, last week, in the
course of which he said : "There is not
a competent head to the State Highway
department," he declared. "During the
years of its existence no definite plan
has been established, except a religious-ly-carried-out
method of squandering
money. There is too much mahogany
desk business about building the so-called
State roads. Every time a strip of
highway is to be made or repaired, an
office attache is sent to'the scene, Gen
erally they look wise, and that is all.
Although not cognizant of locality pe
culiarities of the roadbed, they disregard
the suggestions of we ruralists. How
ever the unsatisfactory keep-up of many
of these thoroughfares is a striking evi
dence of the employes' own ignorance."
On Thursday afternoon last, in the
Indian cemetery near Fort Sill, with the
rites of Christian burial, Geronimo, the
Apache war chief, was laid to rest. The
funeral was postponed an hour until the
arrival of his children, Eva and Robert,
from the Chillocco school. The pro
cession of whites, soldiers and Apaches
was n mile long. The whites first and
then tho Indians were allowed to view
the body and the older members of the
tribe, especially the women, were grief
stricken. Rev. L. L. Leglers, tho mis
sionary who conducted the funeral, told
through an interpreter the story of the
five wise and the 11 vo foolish virgins,
The old chief's wife was prevented from
killing his favorite horse, in accord
ance with the Indian custom, but relat
ives placed in his grave, his riding whip
and his blankets.
It has long been the practice for the
Pennsylvania legislators to see the Presi--dential
inauguration. It was a nice trip,
too, when tho Pennsylvania Railroad
placed a whole special train at the dis
posal of the Legislature. Now, that the
free railroad pass has disappeared, a
bill has been introduced providing for
the paymont of the expenses out of the
treasury. The Legislature Is to be ask
ed to appropriate W,000 for the Wash
ington trip and also (23,000 to pay the
expenses of the Governor, bit staff and
a brigade of the national gaard to par
ticipate in the parade when President
Taft la Inaugurated.

Prohibition Destroys South
ern Jail-keepers Profits.
Danville, Ky., Feb. 19th. "Pity
the poor jailer."
The calaboose keepers of Kentucky,
and indeed of all the southern Prohibi
tion states, will have to fling out ban
ners bearing this label if something is
not done soon. For since the spread of
temperance through the south, the jails
are fast becoming vacant houses, with a
wolf howling at the door.
The office of jailer used to be the best
paying in Kentucky except the sheriff,
with the keepers getting a fee for feed
ing each prisoner. Now it's the worst
For twenty-five per cent, of the jailers
there's nothing to do but lock and un
lock the empty cells and talk sorrowful
ly of the good old days. Fully half of
them arc only jailers when they have
nothing else to do, The rest of the time
they're carpenters, painters, Bhoemakers,
barbers, stonecutters, men of all work.
Temperance is no joke for them. Only
twenty-five per cent, of all the Kentucky
jailers are still making a comfortable
living. ,
The jail-keepers of Kentucky have a
union they call it the Jailer's Associa
tion. Everyday the mail of W. S. Fitz
gerald,- of Danville, the president, con
tains many plaintive messages from the
-members.
"Things are -going to the dogs," write
a jailer 'from the southern part of tha
state. Only two prisoners left now
and the grand jury meets next week.''
' "I don't know what's to become of
me," writes one from the mountains
."The only prisoner I've had fora month
was a tramp. I had to chase him clear
across the country at some expense to
myself, and then the judge discharged
him and told him to get out of the city.
I told all the jailers in the other coun
ties to watch for him and follow him to
see which way he went, but he slipped
through somehow."
'Temperance is a line thing," says
President Fitzgerald, "and we re not
advocating return to 'wet' conditions,
but we do think the legislature ought to
do something perhaps put us on
straight salary. We got to live."

Miss J. "I have a large pimple on.my
chin, which is growing still larger, what
will remove it ?" Take two .quarts of
warm water, a gallon of buttermilk, a
bar of soap, a half a bushel of corn meal,
mix to the consistency of dough, then
rub the face until the cows come home
This ought to stop the pimple.
Mother "My son's nose is crooked, is
there any way to straighten it?" Try
placing a porousplaster on the northeast
corner of it. Have him look the other way
and blow his nose at ihe moon. If this
fails, let his nose remain crooked. What
you want to keep straight, is his record
JNewlyweu "Jiy liusband twits me
about losing my beauty ; have I any re
dress ?" If he cannot see any beauty in
you and you have grown ugly to him, it
looks like as if the jig was up. We would
not advise flirting with another man, for
that might bring him before a jury on a
murder charge. Continue to act like a
good wife when he is around ; warm his
socks, sweeten his coffee, go through his
pockets, and don't throw things at him
After a while he may conclude you are
the prettiest little popsy wopsy in Da
mascus township.

weak and that my cheeks are losing their

other trouble. Take a dose, (say two
tablespoonfuls) of soft soap and sand af

Henry W. Box's Will.
The wiir of the late Henry W. Box,
whoso death at Saranac Lake on the
7th instant has been mentioned in The
Citizen, was probated in Buffalo last
week. It comprises five typo written
and two manuscript pages, and was
made in Buffalo on the Cth of SeptomrJ
ber last. The witnesses are F. G. Stow
and John C. Conway; and John E.
Selkirk, Mary E. Box and Henry Sel
kirk are named as executors. AfUr.Hr.,
Box drew up his will, he made presents
of considerable amounts to one or more
of his friends, sending bis notes as ev
idence of the obligation, payable out of
his estate by his executors after his
death. In his will he directs that his
executors, one of whom is his adopted
daughter, shall hold his estate in trust,
and from it pay his widow an annual
income of $4,000, and his adopted
daughter, wary is. uox, a yearly in
come of $3,500. He gives to Mrs. Box
all the furniture, paintings, statuary,
books, silver, etc., with a provision thai
at her death all shall go to the daughter,
Mary Elizabeth Box. To his sister,
Mary A. Brown, of White Mills, he gives
an annual income of $100 ; to Mrs.Chas
S. Minor, of Honesdale, a bequest1 of
$500. After Mrs. Box's death it is;pro
vided that the daughter's yearly income
shall be increased to $5,000, but by a
later codicil the amount is reduced to
$3,000 until the condition of the estate
warrants a larger allowance. After the
above provisions and reservation, .ho di
rects that Mary E. Box be paid $10,000;
John E. Selkirk, $1,000 ; Henry B. Sel
kirk, $1,000; Grace H. Selkirk, $500;
Alfred Bryson, $300 ; Elizabeth B. Bry
son, $300 ; Rebecca E. Brader, $300, and
John P. Williams, $300 no cash gifts to
be paid until after Mr. Box's dealn
This clause is not quite understood bv
the executors, and they have asked Bur
rogate Hart to construe itforthem. The
final provisions of the will give Miss
Box power to. dispose of the- estate re.
maming in the executors' hands on tho
death of Mrs. Box. If she does not do
so, however, the will directs that it shall
be disposed of as follows : To John
A. Selkirk, $5,000; to Henry B. Selkirk,
$5,000 ; to Emily S. Selkirk, $3,000 ; to
Grace H. Selkirk, $3,000; to Harriet P.
Williams, $2,000 and the residue divided
equally between the Buffalo General
Hospital, the Buffalo Orphan Asylum,
the Sisters' Hospital and the Children's
Hospital, of Buffalo.

Watson E. Beach, one of the well
known citizens of this community, was
struck and killed by a train at the cross
ing at Callicoon, on Tuesday morning.
The news of the awful accident came
like lightning out of a clear sky to the
people of the little village who had seen
Mr. Beach many times during the day
at his work and in usual health. In the
afternoon, Mr. Beach, while on his way
down the street, stopped and talked for
some time with his old friend and
neighbor, Volney Skinner. From there he
crossed over the bridge to Skinner's
Falls, and when the milktrain pulled in,
in Ins usual generous way handed the
trainmen cigars. Later in the evening
Mr. Beach went to Callicoon, expecting
it is thought, to return early Tuesday
morning on 30, to be in town for tho
election, in which as an ardent Repub.
lican, he was always interested. There
is a gloom over the entire community,
all of whom will miss the kind hearted
neighbor and friend nud express their
sincere sympathy to the.sorro wing family.
