Boss Aldrich is having no little trouble keeping Republican Sena tors in line on the tariff issue. Those Senators and Representa tives from the South who voted for protection on lumber or anything else misrepresent the people who elected them. Some of these fellows who sit up in the amen corner and refuse to 1 pay their honest debts on the theory that "Jesus paid it all. all the debt we owe," will find out different some 1 of these days. Tf the pulpits of the land would "go after" the fellows who refuse to pay their honest debts and get "them to reform they would do a' great deal of good to the dead beats as well as a long suffering public Tf it is right to tax the cotton farmer for the benefit of the jute trust and steel trust on the bagging ! and ties he uses to bale his cotton, j why is it not right to tax these trusts j for the benefit of the cotton farmer? We are' free to say that if Mr. Lever believes in the theory of pro- | tection, he has no business in Con gress representing a people who are plundered every day in the week | through the operations of a protec tive tariff. Wonder how many of the Southern Senators and Congressmen who^vote to protect this or that industry would vote to pay the Southern farm er, two or three cents per pound on the cotton he makes so as to make cotton planting profitable? Senator Smith gives notice that he tabes no lumber protection or any other kind of protection with his Democracy. He correctly holds that1' all protection is little less than high- j5 way robbery, and he will have noth ing to do with fastening it on the people. Tt is a blessed thing to grow old gracefully, to keep in constant touch with life, to be sweet in disposition, and sympathetic with all that Is good. Old age, which is the night of earth ly life, has a magnificence of its own, even as the night which follow the day. f We have got to take the world as j i wv? find it and not as we think it ' f ought to be. The ideal world may j and s'hould be in our mind, but it j c is there that by wholesome example ' f and loving services we may help, I c however little, the world to reach, \ the ideal condition. We agree with the Confederate; ( Veteran that the South's flag, born 1 c in the vindication of State rights1 r and nurtured by the blood of her j i sons upon an hundred battlefields, j v went down as pure and spotless as ? r the< breezes that play upon the bos- J j om of the "Shining River." We want to see every seat now oc- ? cupied by a Southern Senator or \ Congressman who voted for protec- ? tion contested by a true blue tariff^ reformer in the next election. We ( want to know where the people of t th? South stand on this great eco-]( nomk. question. 1 If the taxes levied under the op erations of the protective tariff were collected from the people directly in stead of indirectly as they are col lected, it would cause a revolution in forty-eight hours. The masses would refuse to be robbed for the benefit of the trusts and the large corporations. A number of the national bankers of Nebraska have organized for the purpose of fighting the guaranteed deposits law recently enacted in that State. The national banks are ex empt from the law. but they are afraid the law will give the State banks an advantage over them, and they want it killed. The cotton farmer is plundered morning, noon and night by the protective tariff. He pays a tax on nearly everything he buys to the people who make these things. In the name of common sense, why should the mm he sends to Congress to represent him help to rob him more than he is now robbed by vot ing for protection on lumber or any thing else? In the Senate recently Senators Aldrich and Bailey became involved in a discussion concerning Mr. Aid rich's statement ftt the Senate in 1 894 that the income tax was sup ported by the socialist, populist and Democratic parties. Mr. Bailey said that Mr. Taft now favored an income tax and asked Mr. Aldrich if he con sidered the president a socialist, populist or Democrat Fooling the People. The Republican party has fooled the people of the North and West so often that its leaders think they have the right to bunco them when ever they feel like it. There are in the Payne tariff bill several illustra tions to prove the above assertion in the ingenious way in which a duty can be raised, which the artless con sumer is made to believe that it has been lowered, says the Chicago Tribune. Take, for instance, linoleum, an article of common use among those who are not particularly well to do. Under the present law there is a duty of S cents a square yard and 15 per cent ad valorem on all under twelve f?et in width. On all over that width the duty is 20 cents a yard and 20 per cent ad valorem. The ways and means committee in its summary of reductions says: "Linoleum above nine feet from 20 cents a square yard and 20 per cent ad valorem to 12 cents and 15 cents ad valorem." This is an increase, not a decrease. There were 'imported a year ago about 160.000 square yards of linole um above twelve feet in width and 4.870.000 square yards under that width. Probably tlrro>-fouriihs of .the goods naving the lower duty ranged in width from over nine feet to nearly twelve f?et. So what really is proposed is that the bulk of the importations shall pay 4 cents more a square yard than at present. In the case of cast polished plate glass an attempt is made to make an increase in a duty seem harmlos by coupling with it a nominal de crease. The duties on all sizes under 720 square inches are raised. That covers the sizes employed for furni ture purposes. The duties on the lareer sizes are lowered. Taking the 1307 importations a? a basis, this wonld mean highrr duties on about r>.700.000 pounds of glass and a decrease on 180.000. The American manufacturer can stand that trifling cut, for he has a protection of 155 per cent on the larger sizes. The farmer and the workingman would be profoundly grateful to congress for legislation giving them cheaper window glass. They rejoic ed, doubtless, when they saw that mentioned among the articl?s on which duties were to be reduced. The laugh is on them, not on the manufacturers. The duty is reduc ed a little on sylinder. crown, and common window glass above 24x3 0 inches, but not on the lower sizes. The importations under that size amount to SO.000.000 pounds and those above it to about 1.600,000. One glass manufacturer was hon ?st enough to write to the ways and means committee that his industry jould stand a cut of 25 per . cent, so it can. The difference between ^e cost of production of a square root of no?shed plate glass in Bel gium and the United9States is a lit :le over 3 cents. The present tariff rivpg as much protection as" if the lifferencp were 15 cents. The con ?unrer of this article of universal ise is paying too much for it now. rhe committee on ways and means should have made genious Instead if sham reductions. Protfably it ?eckoned that they were being hum uigged. Our Memorial Day. Yesterday was our Memorial Day. rhe day on which all over South Carolina the graves of her heroes vere decorated with beautiful flow >rs. Although the cause for which hese heroes died went down in de eat, they did not die in vain. There ins never been a cause in the history ?f the world which has found such ibundant justification at the hands >f time as the cause for which these leroes diedy The theory of govern nent which they died to uphold has >fcn confirmed time anA again by mr highest court, and the rights >f the several States are recognized iow as they never were before, rhe bitterness engendered by the var in which these heroes died have >assed away, and we are now one >eonle. The days of passion and >re.iudice are happily dead, but the ender memories that, cluster around 'tho c*?pm.nrn;;if,(] nation that fell* j vil! linger as long as this people shall endure, and the recurrence of hese Memorial Days will call forth >ur deepest love and veneration for he noble heroes who died that their sountry might live. [Tnfurl the banner! Plant it proudly fn th* Southland's turf today. 3'er the sacred dust of martyrs Wound in grey. Loose her folds unto the breeze. Till they sweep the verdant fields, O'er the ashes of our heroes Neath the trees. Draw the swords From out th? scabbards! Never mind their gory scars! Cross them o'er the field of crimson Stars and bars! Let the blades bedimmed with rust. Flash from out the sacred crust: And point the hallowed sepulchre Of a nation's trust. Roll the drum! It cannot wake them! From" their quiet rest so deep, lit' the camping ground of heaven's * Dreamless sloeo' Let it tell in martial glory. Of a conquered hero's life: Not the sad tattoo and story, Of the strife. Blow the bugle! Blow it proudly! Let its clarion blast proclaim The din. the farch. the shout, the charge To victory and fame. Then so softly, now so gently. Let Us requiem sweep and roll, Until chords of mystic anthems Fill the soul. Scatter flowers' Fraerrant flowers! Of the rarest grace and blooms. Weave the laurel, twine the ivy, O'er the tombs! Roses fair and purest lilies Rleed above the hearts today, Of immortal, glorious heroes Wound in grey! IMPORTANT TO FARRIERS. Supreme Court Decides Case in Their Favor. The Charleston Post say the United States Supreme Court has just ren dered two decisions, which are of ?much inflresjt io jtruck growers through the State, involving more considerate treatment o nthe part of railroads in fostering the promo tion of the- industry. In both cas es J. N. Voorhees, a truck farmer in St. Andrew's narish, was the plain tiff, and the Atlantic Coast Line and other roads the defendants. A de cision favorable to truck interests was rendered in both suits. * Tn one n<i?p the nlaintiff shipped six carloads of cabbages from St. Andrews to New York, for the trans portation of which the defendants charged less than the carload rate, because me initial carrier performed the loading service. The decision ?f the court is that these shipments having been offered in carload quan tities were entitled to the published carload rate, and in the absence of specific tariff provision, no additional charge could be lawfully collected from the complainant to cover load ing ?< rvice performed by the rail ro*?r' company. In the other case." on a question of "reasonable" rates, the court de cided that tho charee of sixty-three cents per half-barrel crate was "un reasonable* and a rata 0f fprty-ebrh* cents a fairer one than the thirty two cent rate which had been urged by the complainant before the rail road commission. The orders of the court in both cases provide for a refund of excess charges. The amount invloved is not large, but the principle is of much moment to the truck farmers and the decision is being received with much pleasure and satisfaction. TERRIBLE DISASTER. Crowd Pressed Against Railing Which Gave Way. At Seattle, Wash., on Saturday night nearly two hundred people were injured, many fatally, when the iron guard rail in the balcony of the National Guard Armory gave way. There was an exciting track race in the pit below and the spectators had crowded to the rail. It gave way and some three hundred persons were thrown into the pit, sixteen feet beloav. They landed in a tangled mass of suffering, moving humanity. Many arms and legs were broken, besides several fractured skulls, and most of the victims suffered serious internal injuries., There was a wild panic inside fand as Jsoon as the news became known thousands more people tried to crowd into the build ing. It took the entire police of the city to hold them back. The armory had just been finished and the ac cident is charged to the faulty con struction. Fire Alarm Notice.

Suffered 3 Years, MADE SOUND AND WELL BY 3 SETS OF CUTICURA "My trouble began about three years ago with little black swellings scattered over my face and neck, 'ibey would disappear but they would leave lit tie black scars that would itch nt times so I couldn't keep from scratching them. LargenwellinRS would appear in the same place and they were so painful I could hardly bear it and my clothes would stick to the sores. The first doctor 1 went to said the disease was scrofula, but the trouble oniy got worse and spread. By this time it was all over my arms and the upper part of my body in big swellings as large as a dollar. It was so painful that I could not bear to lie on my back at night. The second doctor pronounced my disease inflam mation of the lymphatic glands. He Btopped the swellings, but when they would break the places would not heal. He tried everything that he could but to no effect. He said I might be cured but it would take a ling time. I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies end used them according to directions and in less than a week some cf the places were nearly well. I continued with the Cuti cura Remedies until 1 had used three r?ets, and now I am sound and well. The disease lasted three years from the time it commenced until I was cured. Before Christmas something broke cut en my seven year old brother's here's in the form of large sores. I tried every thing I could think of but to no effect until I happened to think of Cuticura and one application cured him. Also, not long ago, mv sister got a bad burn on her ankle. I have been using Cuti cura on that and it gave her scarcely any trouble. O. L. Wilson, Puryear, Te'nn., Feb. 8, 100S."

Better Not Get Dyspepsia If you can help it Kodol prevents Dyspepsia, by effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion* But don't trifle with Indigestion. A great many people who have trifled with indigestion, have been sorry for it?when nervous or chronic dyspepsia resulted, and they have not been able to cure it Use Kodol and prevent having Dyspepsia. Everyone Is subject to indiges tion. Stomach derangement follows stomach abuse, just as naturally and just as surely as a 30und and healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol. When you experience sourness of stomach, belching of gas and nauseating fluid, bloated sensation, gnawing pain in the pit of the stomach, heart burn (so-called), diarrhoea, headaches, dullness or chronic tired feeling?you need Ko dol. And then the quicker you take Kodol?the better. Eat what you want, let Kodol digest It. Ordinary pepsin "dyspepsia tab lets," physics, etc., are not likely to be of much benefit to you, in digestive ailments. Pepsin is only a partial digester?and physics art not digesters at all. Kodol Is a perfect digester, M you could see Kodol digesting every particle of food, of all kinds, in the glass test-tubes in our laboratories, you would know this just as well aa we do. Nature and Kodol will always cure a sick stomach?but in order to be cured, the stomach must rest That is what Kodol does?rests tha stomach, while the stomach gets well. Just as simple as A, B, C.
