Why Not Air Flood?
If there is any good reason for
takin? Mr Flood from the work
that is now well to his hand at
Washington, and placing a raw
man in his place, we haye not been
able to disco\er it. So far as wp
can see and judge he has faithfully
represented us, and luis never fail?
ed to stand for, advocate, support
and uphold true democratic princi
pies.
To select a man west of the
Ridge, and not from Highland,
could bring r.o direct benefits to
this county ovet the present ar?
rangement. Alli way, Mr Flood,
had he been one of our own coun
tymen, could not have responded
more heartily and promptly to de?
mands made upon him bj his con?
stituents from this part of his dis?
trict. Matters now on foot which
will he directly beneficial to the
people of Highiand, haye been in?
troduced by Mr Flood and are now
engaging his time and support, and
will continue to receive his co-op?
eration until they niaterliali/.e.
Taking it all in all, Mr Flood
has been exceedingly courteous to
the citizens of Highland and mind?
ful of their best interest, and we
believe the Recorder speaks the
sentiment of a large majority of
the democratic voters of the coun?
ty when it savs it believes that
Mr Flood should be sent back
down to Washington for another
term.
Do You Want to Vote?
The following statement of the
requirements necessary in order to
exercise the voting privilege has
been furnished the Fredericksburg
Star bv Mr IJ G Chesley, Treasurer

law. These requirements apply to
Highland county as well as the rest
of the Old Dominion, and should
you wish to be a voter at the presi?
dential election, ye Highlanders,

vote.
3. Those who have under the
old Constitution been relieyed of

reason of age and other infirmities

tax for 1003 will apply to County
Clerk for a certificate showing

ty Treasurer or his deputies, who

Don't Lay lt to The Board
As lhere seems to be some mis?
apprehension a9 to the increase of
the salaries of county officers by
the Board of Supervisors as stated
in a former issue of this paper, it is
possibly due to our Board to add
by way of explanation thal the Act
of the Legislature, under which the
increase was allowed provides that
the salaries of the Commonwealth's
attorney, sheriff and clerk, shall be,
in mo case, less than $300.00 and
in counties containing 10,000 in?
habitants and less, not more than
$400.00 each. The Board could
have allowed ?400 each but chose
the smaller amount.
Presumably the increase of du?
ties and responsibilities of these
officers, under the present constitu?
tion, is one reason for the amend?
ment of the statute.
In the notice we gave of the al?
lowance to these officers we clearh
stated that it was the minimum
amount fixed by the statute and
not bv the Board. For some folks
vou haye to write, read, spell, parse,
phrase and paraphrase before you
can get them to understand what
vou are driving at. If you want
to scrap anybody about this matter
wait till the legislature meets again
and go down, but don't lay it to
the Boiird of Superyisors. The
Board has troubles of its own.

Eight months ago I was so ill
that I was compelled to lie or sit
down nearly all the time. My
stomach was so weak and upset
that I could keep nothing on it
and I vomited frequently. I
could not urinate without great
pain and I couched so much that
my throat ana lungs were raw
and sore. The doctors pro?
nounced it Bright'8 disease and
others said it was consumption.
It mattered little to me what
they called it and I had no de?
sire to live. A sister visited mo
from St. Louia and asked me if
I had ever tried Wine of Cardui.
I told her I had not and she
bought a bottle. I believe that
it saved my life. I believe many
women could save much suffer?
ing if they but knew of Us value.

Don't you want freedom from
pain? Take Wine of Cardui

In School
There are many children in
school, who new, glasses but not
wearing them. There is no time in life
when the eyes ought to receive such
careful attention ss through school years.
The muscles are not fully develop
ed; gradual changes are taking
place in the eye-hall, ami the work Ia
close and confining. If there is a ten?
dency to defective vision, it can be check?
ed better at this time than any other.
Wearing glasses constantly in after life
may be avoided. If the child seems to
hare difficulty In seeing thc characters
upon the blackboard, or if he holds bia
book too close or too far away, there is
a defect. If il seems to he an effort for
him to study; if he has a headache a great
deal; if he is drowsy ( r listless; if his
eyes are Inflamed or irritated, he needs
glasses. The sooner Ihe eyes have at?
tention the better it will be for bim all
through life. See me about it.

Hearts
Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nIne*of every
one hundred people v/ho have heart trouble
:an remember when it was simple indiges?
tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of
leart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of ind!
jestion. All food taken Into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
.wells the stomach, puffing it up against tha
neart. This Interferes with the action of
the heart, and in the course of time that
ieiicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
