The State Bor.nl ot' Control is evi dently determined to have no more Outza in the dispensary. Commissioner Douthit asks the pub lic to "suspend judgment/1 May we in quire if the suspension is conditioned "upon tho payment of the costs'' or upon general reform principles of maintaining a righteous and dignified silence upon transactions of question able character? The South American republics are striving to bring about an international alliance to promote peace and com merce among them and minimize the chances of war. That is in line with modern ideas and tendencies which look to building up and producing^ rather than tearing down and destroy ing as the buttressing force of nations. It is a question whether Neal and Douthit will be considered represent ative Andersonians. They a?e certain ly endowed with the happy faculty of taking care of themselves-a virtue common to this section-but possibly not in such a pronounced and virulent a type as is found in those worthy ex officials. In the words of Douthit him self, we beg the public to "suspend j ndgment." _ It evidences a very depraved sense of fun in a large and representative paper like the Atlanta Journal who can refer to the disgraceful conduct of the Geor gia soldiers returning from the D?wey celebrationas ''amusingpranks." THE INTELLIGENCER hopes the Journal is quite isolated in its classification of highway robbery and hog stealing as "amusing; pranks." Certainly Gov. Candler sees the matter in its true light, as he has announced his inten tion of dismissing dishonorably the guilty raman s. f In the late Dexter E. Converse, of Spartanburg, the State has lost a most valuable citizen; upper Carolina a true and faithful friend; the home of his adoption, the builder of its fortunes;, higher education, a devoted fostering parent; and the Church, a most stead fast pillar. He has carved a name which time cannot efface; he has reared a monument that will never crumble y into dust. In the grateful hearts of thousands who have been gladdened by his generous and gracious bounty, his name will be enshrined as long as tradition lasts. Truly, a great man is fallen._ The organization of a gigantic syn dicate in New York, having for its object the purchase of good Southern mills for the purpose of combining them "with a view to developing their trade to the utmost, giving special attention to the upbuilding of the ex port business," is a most insidious de lusion and a lurking snare. It is sim \ ply the nucleus of the most baneful trust, the country has ever known-a veritable Pandora's box. It will out rank in proportions the great oil and fertilizer trusts, and instead1 of devel oping the South, its prime object i^ to throttle her for the protection of north ern mills, and dictate the price of her cotton. The yankee is a proverbially shrewd 'customer, and he is not slow to * see that the South is destined to be come the great manufacturing cert ter of the worlu, but, if by dint of h:s shrewd machinations and clever du plicity, he can retain a loothold, if not the prestige, in the great industrial upheaval, his pockets will not feel the great shrinkage in values. Many northern mills are already coining to the cotton fields, and it is to check this alarming tendency that our smooth tongued brother across the Potomac is suddeLly seized with such a solicitous regard for the South's development. The INTELLIGENCER is aware that many roseate hued intellects will charge us with trying to run capital out of the South, and if that means that we are trying to strangle in its infancy a type of Anaconda identical with the Standard Oil Company, the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company, the American Tobacco Company, and all other kindred trusts, then wc plead guilty to the charge, for such capital is the country's burden, and is intended only to crush and subdue legitimate enterprise. There is possibly thirty per cent, of the South's milling capital in northern hands. It will be a com paratively easy matter for this syndi cate to control this rind secure enough more to become in absolute control by a sale majority. This is the method always employed, and in the lace of fabulous premiums the average stock holder, bc he wise or unwary, bows the knee and the trust is .?non complete. Stockholders require difterent pre miums though. A fat, juicy lump of stock will stand out a whole week for 100per cent, premium, and throw in its Owner asa director in thc syndicate, while the modest $500 batch of stock Commands only75 percent, premium and the owner linds himself, it rests then solely in the hands ol' Southern Stockholders to say whether they will sell their country's birth-right for a mess of pottage. If the South cannot prevail against the millions of the North, her doom is sealed and sealed forever. - A satisfactory adjustment of tho railroad commission's Western Union Telegraph Company's reduced rate suit has been reached and the case will be withdrawn from the United States Court. The compromise provides for the sending of messages of ten words from any point in the State to any other point within the State for 'i"> cents. hi the complete revision ami np-to I date enlargement of Mrs. Susan Pen I dicton Lee's "New Primary History of j thc United States," and her "NewSchool j History of the United States," thc South ? has the fulfillment of a long-felt want I -justice and truth, which means only au impartial record of the South's con tentions in thc halls of Congress and on the field of battle. Thc youth of the land can now be taught thathis honored ancestors, who fought for States' rights and liberty, were not rebels and trai tors, but were patriots .'is devoted ! to the cause of freedom as Washington, whom all sectious delight to honor. The historian writes in au unusually bright and interesting vein, and claims for the South honors heretofore ignored by tile narrow sectional historian. She does not magnify but proves the claims that the South has ever stood first for independence, as witness the Mecklen burg Declaration of Independence: the first victory in thc Revolution, which was gained by North Cavoliua; the first State to proclaim lier independence of England which was South Carolina; and the section which compelled Con gressional recognition of her. attitude .on States' rights, though this was afterward ignored by the partisan abo litionists in Congress. She proves, also, that if the South is a rebellious section, New England is also a rebel, for she had to be conciliated from her intention to secede by the repeal of the Embargo Act. This history is a true record of events and is impartial also in its treatment of the North, and de serves universal adoption in all South ern schools. The Atlanta Journal re fers to it as follows: The Chicago Tribune utters a long arid doleful wail over a Southern out rage of peculiarly atrocious character. The Tribune has made the blood-curd ling^ discovery that Tennessee has a law which requires to be taught in her public schools a history which declares that Jefferson Davis was a patriot, and that the men who engaged in secession movement, either as statesmen or sol diers, were not traitors, but true and brave men, who followed their honest convictions of right and duty. This is truly terrible. The book which Ten nessee is having taught in her schools and which so shocks the nervous lri bune.Tx&& written by Susan Pendleton Lee, of Virginia. It is"a, fair and truth ful history, and that is what hurts our rattled Chicago contemporary. It would doubtless be delighted if Ten nessee should abolish Mrs. Pendleton's history and substitute for it one which would teach that all who participated in the civil war on the part of the South, or sympathized with the South in that struggle, were conspirators and traitors, for whom the gallows was a just reward. The 'Tribune would prob ably like to have all Tennessee school children sing every day that beautiful and high-souled ballad, "We'll hang Jeff Davis on a sour apple tree." This history is published by the B. F. Johnson Publishing Co., of Rich mond, Va., who also publish a number of other valuable books for the school room. High Prices for Meat. CHICACO, Oct. 8.-"This year's corn crop will be one of the largest in our history," said Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, who is in Chicago with tho Presidential party, to-day. "The total yield, it is estimated, will be be tween twenty-three and twenty-five hundred millions of bushels. There will be plenty for manufacturing and feeding, and we will have all the corn to sell that anybody wants to buy. To what extent; the crop will be shipped abroad will depend largely upon the price it will bring. The Iii gu prices of ??red for meats will incline the farmers to use,,their crop for feeding purposes. "Where stock is to be found the corn will be fed, unless the price be high. A ? considerable percentage of the crop will be cribbed, as the farmers gene rally are well oil', and getting good prices for their products, so they can afford to hold their corn up. "Meats are likely to be high, because in the last few years our population has grown faster than the meat producing animals. Then injudicious grazing on the semi-arid regions of the West has been destructive, and many of those range States do not have over GO per cene of the animals they had fifty years ago. "The British in the Transvaal war, should it occur, will want our canned meats. They cannot use our refrige rated meats over there, and in order to feed their soldiers as well as the United States feeds curs they will have to take the quarters to the Cape of Good Hope . in refrigerating vessels, and then es lablish a plant for caring for chilled 1 meats, similar to the one the United JStates has at Manila. They must have canned meats. The United States is the only country prepared to supply it, pud the growing demand for it in all quarters of the globe will help to keep ' up tlie price of meats." \ Special Excursion Rates via Southern Railway. ; Thc Southern Railway announce sale of round trip tickets to Atlanta, Ga., account of the Georgia State Fair, which will be openfrom October 18th to November 4th.

If you are under forty years of age it's a defect and not a failure. If it's an error of refraction it can be corrected with glasses only. H requires an optical correction and not a physical one. This is why so many good oculists and physi cians fail in fitting glasses. They don't understand the laws of optics and the phenomena of light and vision. I have made a study of the phy sical J as well as the optical eye. Hundreds of | people are to-day taking treatment when there is nothing the matter with their j eyes, but an optical defect not properly corrected for which the only remedy is a properly fitted pair of glasses. To correct a defect we must supply the deficiency these glasses do for the defec- j tive eye, which no medicine or other treatment can. Respectfully. I A. C. STRICKLAND. FARM FOR S?LE.
