This good woman has Buffered
almost all this year. She was at
tacked with grip in February,
that kept her prostrate for weeks,
soon after she began walking
around the house she fell out her
back porch and sprained and
bruised her left arm so badly that
she has since been almost help
less. She is still unable to dress
herself or do any kind of work,
though her physician, Dr. Brittle,
assured us. that the wounded
member was doing nicely and
she would soon be herself again.
Our farmers are rather dis
couraged over the dry, hot weath

gloomy indeed. Corn is coming
up poorlv. winter oats are almost
ruined for want of rain, very lit
tie cotton above ground and only
a few peanuts planted. The
ground on many farms is so hard
it cannot be broken until rain
does come. The early cabbage
crop is a failure also. This con
dition of affairs does not seem to
affect the fertilizer buyers, for
on Monday there were so many
vehicles in town to be loaded that
it reminded ub of the time when
the circus came to town.

propriate exercises. Mr. Ralph

evening was exceptionally good,
the leading numbers of which

THE KEV TARIFF BILL.
Taritt Changes Always Sound Better
lo Party Platforms Than Tbey
do Id Tarlif Laws.
Washington Post
The most striking feature of
the ptoposed tariff bill is the de
termined and earnest effort that
is being made through it to re
duce the costs of living.
It is the farmers of the coun
try, the agriculturists, the sheep
and cattle raisers, those who cul
tivate the soil or derive their liv
ing through and by its natural pro
ductions, that are called upon by
this bill to largely give up such
measure of protection as the
present schedules afford them.
The Democratic administration
and the Democratic Congress are
striving to keep the party pledges
to reduce the tariff and to bring
down the costs of living, but to
do so they, the representatives
largely of agricultural interests,
are compel to strike a first and
heavy blow at the interests of
many of their constituents.
The Ljuisiana delegates know
how it is for their State, its
people, their party, and themsel
ves; and the farmers of New
Eugland, which did so splendidly
for the Democratic party n Nov
ember; those farmers of New
York State, of the Western
Scates, who rejected the recipro
city measures with Canada with
such unanimity, will scarcely re
joice over this measure which so
largely promotes competh ion with
the products of their soil, their
care, and their labor.
The fruit growers of Florida
and California are not making
bonfires over the introduction of.
ibis bill, whatever they may do
wiih their groves and orchards
Inter on.
The tariff measure of 1913
promises to produce the same
dissatisfaction among the people
or the country as its famous pie -doceseors,
the McKinley bill, trie-
Wilton bill, and the Pyne-Ald
r:cn bill, and the prospects arc
that it will be followed by the
same political cataclysms.
It is a most direct and open,
distinct condition that conf routs
the revision of the tariff upon
every such occasion.
The farmers desire the prices
of the articles they need reduced,
and the prices of those commo
dities they have to sell kept up.
Reducing the costs of living to
the people of the citieB, when
such reduction cuts down the
prices of his productions, does
not appeal to the mind pf the
hard working frrmer of New
England, New York, the South,
or the West
With the sugar planters of
Louisiana and the beet growers
of the North there can b found
neither pleasure nor profit in a
bill which brings tbem into com
petition with the peons of Mexi
co and Central America, or with
cane produced bv the poorly paid
labor of the mixed races in Cuba
and the other West India Islands.
v. a
it may Deunaemocratic in spir
it, it may be selfish in motive, but
neither friend of free trade nor
observer of public Bentiment but
is fully aware that the farmers
of the United States will not be n
favor of any measure which . will
reduce the costs of living in the
cities at their expense by reduc
ing their incomes from the pro
ductions of their farms and plan
tations.
