Change in Voting.
The last legislature made a change in the
matter of marking ballots. The voter doe«
not have to cross out all the names which
he does not want to vote for. A simple
cross on the left of a candidates name de­
notes h>s choice. The following is the law
on the subject: “On the receipt of the
whit« ballot as aforesaid the elector shall
forthwith, and without leaving the en­
closed space, return alone to one of the
compartments provided, and then shall
prepare his ballot by marking immediately
to the left of the candidate of his choice for
each office to be filled, or by writing in the
name of the person he wishes to vote for.”
LOCAL POLITICAL EDITORIALS.
Prof. J. W. Merritt in his candidacy for
county judge tells the people with glee
and pride that he has been a great success,
has succeeded in business when all around
him the earth is strewn with the wrecks of
his neighbors that have fallen and failed in
business and the battle of life. The brain
organiaation of Prof. Merritt is built just
that way. As an animal proposition of the
survival of the fittest Mr. Merritt is decid­
edly in it, we will coincide. So was Jay
Gould and many other saints and apostles
of the philosophy of the accumulation of
other people’s wealth, There is also an­
other view to take of these worshippers of
self and Mammon. In Merritt’s case we
find that he left the competitive mercantile
field of Jacksonville and settled in Central
Point in its beginning as a town. He im­
mediately became and has ever since been
the leading spirit. An imperious autocrat
by nature and organization he can’t live in
a town with any other animal like himself,
tn the beginning and until the past few
years Central Point had the same opportu­
nity of becoming the largest commercial
and business canter of the middle valley. It
bad all the advantages that nature could
surround her with. But the imperious au
tocrat had located there and the superior
force that his personal admirers laud him
for has been the dominating rule of the
town.
The result—Merritt has been a phenom-
inal accumulator of wealth. His town, ac­
cording to his own version, is strewn with
wrecks of his neighbors in business. Gold
Hill on one side and Medford on the other
have prospered and grown steadily. As far
as business life and prosperity is concerned
the vacant buildings in Central Point testify
that the town is deader todaj’ than when
the Hon. J, W. Merritt located there in its
infancy. Merritt’s store (with the excep­
tion of one other, which expects to retire)
is the only store in that town.
In other words the practice of Mer­
ritt philosophy by Merritt in Mer­
ritt’s town has built up Merritt at
about the same ratio that it has blight­
ed, destroyed or kept back the prosperity
of his neighbors.
Will Merritt’s influence, philosophy and
ideas as county judge work the same
miracles on Jackson county?
Medford, May 17.—The Medford busi­
ness college, located in the northeast part
of town, burned to the ground shortly be­
fore midnight last night. The lower
story of the building was occupied by the
family of J. C. Goe, and James Henry
had a room in the upper story. After
preparing to retire, in some manner he
upset a lamp, and, in trying to extinguish
the flames, his bed caught fire. He was
compelled to leave the room in bis night­
clothes. He awoke the family below,
and they only had time to save about
half of their household goods. All the
private effects of Professor Rigby, owner
of the college building, were burned.
There has been no school in the building
for some time, and there was compar­
atively little furniture there. The budd­
ing was erected in 1893, and cost $3500.
It was insured for $2000, but there was
no insurance on the contents. The plant
of the House Educator, a school paper
issued by Professor Rigby, was located
in the upper story, and is a total loss.

The most perfect food in the world is milk. Nature
has provided that the youngest and most tender child shall
have this food. In milk there is a generous supply of oil, or
fat. This exists in the form of minute globules, or tiny
drops. They are so small that it takes hours for them to
rise to the surface, as cream. We say, “ milk is an emul­
sion,” because the oil is iu this finely divided condition.
