Lieutenant Governor Frank Hall baa announced his candidacy for the democratic nomination for governor and say* he will have the support of Tom Taggart and Steve Fleming, according to newspaper dispatches. It looks like a good sign, when the boys begin building fences a year ahead. Eight tons of gold plate, sixteen thousand pounds of gold, will be used for the table service at the coronation banquet tomorrow, and for days thousands of poor people have lined all the roads begging for alms. The taxes are used by the nobility in wasteful extravagance, while the middle and poor classes suffer in their loyalty. President Taft is to be one of the attractions at the Fourth or July celebration at Indianapolis, under the auspices of the Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers. The other big event is the crashing together of two big railroad engines. These headliners ought to cause enough noise and excitement for any community. The Ohio supreme court has upheld the constitutionality of the Aiken liquor law and the right under this law to collect the liquor tax In dry territory. This decision sustains the lower courts in the cases of fifty Newark saloonkeepers who sought to restrain the collection of the tax. The case will be carried to the supreme court. By the very decisive vote of 221 to 100 the house yesterday passed the underwood w-00l tariff revision bili providing for a reduction of the duty on wool and the manufactures of wool. In doing so they have kept faith with ■ all the people, and their work will be appreciated when fully understood. What the senate will do with the bill is of course undecided.

We doubt it. Here are many for your se’ection; you do not need to buy a plain serge -there are many serges in which a pattern gives an extra touch of liveliness. If you want to pay as little as a man can pay for a good blue serge suit, you’ll make no mistake if it comes from The Myers-Dailey Go. j Clothiers & Furnishers.
