S WHY NOT A SOUTHERN MAN.
I he suggestion, coming origi
oally from northern DemocrsH
3 that tbe party should nominate a
; southern man for the Presidency
; in 1908 is being most seriously dis
g cussed both North and South
While the section lately under the
civil war ban is neither insistant
nor aggressive in the matter it can
g well be imagined that it would ap
preciate such an honor and would
furnish a list of eligible from
; which could easily be selected a
man who would measure up to
3 every possible requirement axact
ed by the Northern wing of the
party, and at the same time pos-
ses9 f h e r
wouiu uw aiosi cuLunif uiiaLuiy uuu
which might possibly not be found
in a candidate from the section
from which all our candidates
have been taken since the days of
James K. Polk. Taylor was
Southern man, but was nominated
by the Whigs in 1848 and died in
the early part of his term. In
1852 the party nominated Frank
lin Pierce, of New Hampshire; in
1856, Buchanan, of Pennsylvania;
in '60, Douglas, of Illinois; in '64,
McClellan, of New Jersey; in '68,
Seymour, of New York; in '72,
Greeley, of New York; in '76,
Tilden, of New York; in '84, Cleve
jand) of New York; in '88, Cleve
land; in '92, Cleveland; in '96,
Bryan, of Nebraska; in 1900, Bry
an and in 1904, Parker, of New
York. So it can be seen that it
was many years before the civil
war that the party named its last
Southern man as a Presidential
candidate.
More than forty-two years have
passed since peace was restored by
the surrender at Appomattox, and
even the once embittered North
has now been won over to the
belief in the honesty, patriotism
and sincerity of the South. The
North would, with its knowledge
of the high character and states
manlike qualities of the South-
erner, readily admit that in case
a man from that section was
elected President there would be
DO scandal and no breath of dis-
honor would attach to any depart-
ment presided over bv anv man

history and with them , honor is
more than life. Less than ten

PROHIBITION IN THE SOUTH.
One misapprehension at the
North concerning Sjuthern char
acter and customs was that the
drinking habit was quite universal
in this section and that Southern-
ers were thoroughly wedded to
their convivial wavs.

Articles are quite common now in
Northern publications which re-1
fleet this view. Edward Lissner,
in Harper's Weekly, says: -
me average Amer cauis
of regarding Kentucky, Tennessee, the
Carollnas, and, in fact, most of the
other Southern States, as distin
guished for the production and con
sumption of liquor. It is Interesting,
iu view of this, to have attention di
rected to the fact that in the State of
Kentucky ninety out of one hundred
and nineteen countiesare "no license."
That Is to say, ln none of the ninety
counties will be granted a license to
sell liquor. The whole State of Ten
nessee Is "dry" save for the cities of
Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga.
In the "dry" districts no alcoholic
beverage may be bought not even a
glass of beer or claret with dinner.
The State of Texas is said to con
tain ninety counties that have abol
ished saloons. North Carolina, Mis-
sissippi and other States of the South
tell the same story. Anybody may
have spirituous beverages sent to him
in any of the "dry" districts, but
throughout these districts every sa
loon has been extirpated. One may
travel up and down the rural parts of
Kentucky and Tennessee without
finding one bar or cross-roads' saloon
such as may be found, ln profusion'
throughout, say, New York, New Jer-j
sey or Pennsylvania. (
One exception in Tennessee, the
town of LaFolIette, is not here
noted. It might also . have been
stated that liquor selling in Nash
ville is restricted to the uptown

gathered his impression that the
movement is more against the
.1 A I . A I 4 ?
rum-suops man me consumption
of liquors. That is true to a large
extent, but a real prohibition sen-
timent also prevails as evidenced
by the active warfare in many
Tennessee communities on "the
jug trade." That is, the trans-
mission of liquor in "original
packages." which, when a matter
of interstate commerce, State leg -
lslatures are powerless to pre-
I . -
vent.
It is not in Tennessee only that
the dislike to the trade is mani-
fested. A New Orleans drummer
soliciting jug orders recently
found Jackson, Miss., too warm a
place for profitable operation.
Twenty years ago there was a
prohibition law in Atlanta. It
didn't endure, but the temperance
sentiment has nevertheless con-
tinued to grow, in Georgia, as it
has elsewhere in the South, and a

ing, rupturing the tiny air cells of the
lungs. When neglected complications
arise. That is, It leads to other and
more dangerous diseases, convulsions,
pneumonia, etc., which often results
fatally. "Coussen's Honey of Tar'
will keep the the cough loose and the
expectoration easy, allay the. irrita
tion and tickling ln the throat, mak
ing the tits of coughing le?s violent
and less frequent. The reason this
remedy has had such phenomenal suc
cess in the treatment of whooping
coughs Is that the manufacturers of
of Coussen's Compound Honey of Tar
are the sole proprietors of the process
of manufacturing Castanine, a power
ful alKaloid obtained exclusively from
Castanea Americana, or the American
cl)estnuUeaf. This almost specific rem-
edy for whooping cough, taken from
the chestnut leaf and added to other
valuable medicinal agents; - hoar
hound, wild cherry, squills, blood root,
mullein, tulu. honey, tar, etc., makes
the compound prescription, known
since 1861 as "Coussen's Compound
Honey of Tar" The only ablsolute
and positive remedy for the distress
ing cough known as the Whooping
cough. Give It a trial. ' Sold by Red
