Wages too High.
In last weeks issue we discussed
the labor system or labor conditions
in eastern Carotins. The fact
that we bad an unreliable Isbor sys
tem which was pauperizing our
country. In last week's issue of
the Manufacturer's Record discus
sing the same subject tbe conclu
sion reached is that high wages is
tbecaiise of this unreliability.
The class of people of whom w«
wrote are not making an effort to
accumulate anything and when
they have enough to supply their
immediate wants they stop work.
The higher wages they get thi
easier it is for them to stop awhile. |
If they can work two days in the
week they have enough to live on
The solution of the problem then
seems to be the reduction of wages
this is the opinion of many industri
al leaders and we think there is lots
„ of truth in it. It would seem that
we were backward but this seems
our only salvation—continuous,
reliable labor would mean contin
ued prosperrty and general pr«g
ress.
Those who make wealth should
enjoy it but if they have to stop
work, become loafers and destrov
the whole order of industry, society
and prosperity. They must l>e de
prived of them as a little child is
deprived of a razor—the only dif
ference is the child would hurt it
self, while high wages seem not
only to destroy the usefulness ot
those who recieve them but the
whole industrial and social system.
This system is causing good peo
pie to leave their farms and good
farms lo be imprOj)erly cultivated
Every body is striving to get out
of it.
Is the Manufacturer's Record
right?
A Remedy Without a Peer
"I find Chamlierlaiu's Stomacl
and Liver Tablets more lieueficia
than any other remedy 1 ever uset
for stomach trouble,'' says J. 1'

roder of the stomach,
or constipation, these Tablets an

BETTER AS IT IS.
On the first page of tins is»u>
you find an article headed "Stater
the facts." We sometimes thin)
this is the way newspapers shoul
, tell what they know about thing
and stop this "whitewashing" bu>
iness. It has come to the point ii
many places now that fame is s
cheap that only the rather gaudv
or superficial seek to have the i
merit(?)told so that people who at
meritorious avoid having the r
names with this class. Their merit s
are greater and they want only tl>
truth told and it appears so smat
in comparison with the newspap 1
merits others have bestowed o
them.
However if the papers went 011
of their way to get the truth e
ways it would then seem to be silt
ing itself down to who could ha\ 
the worst to say and become :
mud slinginging business ami ha\
a tendency to pull the standard
down. ——
The one trouble about this "whit
washing" is that it tends to disc: til
it what the newspapers say about
tbe meritorious and the undeserv
ing get reputations that they do not
appreciate and they have contempt
for merit.
However it is l**t as it is. It
tends to raise the standard and
makes them shake when they think
of what it would be if the truth
were told. Yet those who arc puf
fed in the paper come to think they
are respected by others and have
more self respect- Thin posing; an
great is a tribute to greatness bat
only true greatness should be re
cognized as such. *

Engaged people should remem
ber, that, after marriage, many
quarrels can be avoided, by keep
ing their digestion in good condi
tion with Electric Bitters S. A.
Brown, of Bennetttville, S. C..
says: "For years, my wife suf
fered intensely frOra dyspepsia,
complicated with a torpid liver,
until she lost her strength and
vigor, and became a mere wreck ot
her former self. Then she tried
Electric Bitters, which helped her
at once, and finally made her en

PEACE.
Just as we go to ] press the news
of peace between Russia and Japan
shines forth upon the world as H
glorious sunshine. The "Treaty of
Pourts'mouth" has fteen signed,
Japan and Russia are friends and
the whole world is at peace. With
is victorious as a diplomat in not
paying inemnity demanded and
ceding the vd ai| d Sakhalin to
Japan. Japati claimed more - than
she had any getting and
got what she wanted, accepting it
as a compromise.
Both nations are satisfied as the
result of the negotiations. Japan
continues its play to the world in
yielding its claim to indemnity and
land for sake of humanity. Russia
has had her eyes opened to what a
small country with a government
of thepeople and by the people can
do in war. We think the greatest
result >f this war will be a more
liberal government for the Russian
people This means that Russia
with her vast territory rich with
tindevoloped resources will become
1 most important factor in the busi
ness world.
The greatest thing about it all
for us Americans is that our Presi
dent was instrumental in bringing
these nations together for ]>eace.
President Roosevelt has added
another star to his crown and the
world takes off its hat to him today
as its peace maker. His greatness
surpasses our conception and his
power and influence in the world
is'greuter than ever wielded by any
human being, lie has the undi
vided support and confidence of his
iwn country ami the recognition
jf the world as a diplomat and
(leacetnaker.
From a business point of view
his treaty of peace carries with im
uensurable possibilities. Here are
two vase nations whose energies
rave been consumed in war to be
turned toward business. We pre
lict a greater demand foi raw ma
terial and a better price for farm
products.

THREE JURORS CURED

Of Cholera Morbus with One Small
Bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Mr. O. W. Fowler, »f High
tower, Ala., relate® an experience
he had while serving on a petit
jury in a murder case at Edwards
ville, county seat of Clebourne
county. Alabama. He says:
"While there I ate some fresh meat
and some souce meat and it gave
me cholera morbus in a very severe
form. I was never more sick in
my life and sent to the drug store
for a certain cholera mixture, but
the druggist sent me a bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, and Diar
rhoea Remedy inntead, saying that
he had what I sent for, but that
this medicine was so much better
he would rather send it to me in
the fix I was in. I took one dost
of it and was better iu five min
utes. The second close cured mi
entirely. Two fellow jurors wen
afflicted in the same manner and
one small bottle cured the three of
us." For sale oy S. R. Biggs.
Aunt Jerusba's Meditations.
"If folks could have their funer
.tl when they are alive, and well
and struggling along, what a help
it would be!"sighed Aunt Jerusha,
folding her I'uislev shawl with great
care. "Now there is poor Mis*
Brown she added, as she pinned
her Sunday Bonnet into her green
veil "How encouraged she'd
have been' if she could have heanl
what the minister said today! 1
wouldn't wonder one mite, she'd
have got well. And Deacon Brown
a-wiping his eyes, and all of them
takin on so! I'oor soul, she tiever
dreamed they sot so much by her!
"Mis* Brown got discourag
ed. Yer see Deacon Brown, he'd
got a way of blaming everything
onto her. I don't suppose the dea
con meant it—twas just his way
bill its awful wearing. When things
wore out or broke, he acted just as
if Mis' Brown did it herself oil pur
pose. And tliey all caught it like
the measles or whooping cough.
Ami the minister a telling '"how
the deacon brought his young wife
here when twan't nothing but a
wilderness, and how patiently she
bore hardships, and what a good
wife she had been! Now, the min
ister wouldn't have known any
thing about if the deacon had
n't a told him. Dear, dear! If
he'd only tol.l Mis' Brown hersell
what he thought. I lielieve he
might have -saved the funeral. And
when the said how the
children would miss their mother,
it seemed as though they couldn't
stand it, }>oor tilings.
"Well, I guess its true enough;
Mis' Brown was always doing for
some of them. When they were
singing about sweet rest in heaven
I couldn't help thinking that that
was something Mis' Brown would
have to get used to, for she'd never
had none of it here.
Shc'dliaVt been awful pleased
with the flowers. They were pret
ty, and no mistake. Yer see the
deacon wan't never willing for her
to have a flower l>ed. He said it
was enough prettier sight to set
good cabbages a-growing; but Mis'
Brown always—kind of hankered
after sweet-siuelling things, like
sweet peas, and such.
"What did you say, I.evi? " Most
time for supper? Well, land sakes
so it is. I must have got lo medi
tating I've just lieen a thinking,
Levi, you needn't tell the minister
anything alront me. If the pan
cakes and pumpkin pies are good,
you just sav so as we go along. It
ain't.liest to keep everything laid
up for funerals?"— Word and

regard for the stomach and bowels,
hence most of them produce consti
