THE HOPELESSNESS OF TRUST REGULATION. The stupendous difficulty of really regulating the predatory trusts is seen in two recent events. One is ex-Presidem Roosevelts testimony before the congressional committee investi gating the U. S. Steel corpora tion. Roosevelt was one of th* fiercest trust busters we evei had. Yet when the last panic was on, and the banking firm ot Moore & Schely was about to break because it was overloadeo with Tennessee Coal & Iron Co. securities, Roosevelt was asked if he would go after the trust if it absorbed the Tennessee com pany. He was told that the absorption would prevent a tre mendous crash in Wall Street and all over the country, though it would, however, be a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. In order to head off the panic, Mr. Roosevelt promised immuni ty to the trust, and he told the committee that he wouls do the same thing over again, so certain was he that he had done right. Yet the trust was vastly en larged by the merger. The other event referred to is the formation in Europe, by President Gary, of the steel cor poration, of an international steel trust, thus beginning a world-wide ramification of the trust. We get Supreme Court decis ions against Big Business oc casionally but it does not seem to be impeded in its progress. Has it acquired such avalanche impetus that it can never be stopped? PRAYING FOR RAIN. The recent drought nas ied to a lot of talk about the matter of praying for rain; and some news papers are rather pooh-poohing the idea that prayer could do any good. Just wishing for rain is the same as praying for it, the Spartanburg Journal tells us. We, however, incline to agree with Dr. I. W. Faison, who had the nerve to say in a board of health meeting in Charlotte dur ing the water famine that he believed praver would make God want to let it rain a whole lot sooner. "Prayer changes things." II it doesnt it may as well be cut out of human life. Hezekiah on his deathbed prayed for life and got 15 years extra. Hannah praved for a boy, and got a whole family. Uzziah prayed for de liverance from Babylonian cap tivity and got his throne back. The Ninevites prayed for pardon and were saved from the doom of Sodom. Elijah prayed for rain and got a freshet. The shortage of rain is no doubt connected with the shortage of prayer. We had a big crop and fruit year last year and we thought WE did it with OUR scientific farming, OUR deep plowing, OUR legume crops, and OUR etc. WE are the people. Our agricultural progress is all right, but we have got to have the early and the latter rains anc the only arm that can open th* windows of heaven from the earth side k the arm of prayer. Attack Like Tigers. In fighting to keep the blood pure the white corpuscles attack disease germs like tigers. But often germs multiply so fast the little fighters are overcome. Then see pimples, boils, eczema, saltrheum and sores multiply and.strength and appetite fail. This ! condition demands Electric Bitters to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to expel poisons from the blood. 'They are the best blood purifier," writes C. T. Budahn, of Tracy, Calif., I have ever found." They make rich, red blood, strong nerves and build up your health. Try them. 50c at C. M. Shuford, Moser & Lutz and Grimes Drug Co. FREE "POT METAL." THE Democrat has recently haa the free offer of a lot ot highly colored anti-prohibition literature in plate form, which we are in formed by the plate house is paid f«»r by "Interested Part.es. - We can get lots of better news with the scissors than this stuff. The Democrat does not even print liquor advertisements, and lias turned down quite a bunch of them within the past year. It j we could not make a living in the newspaper business without i print.ng them, we'd try some thing else. Plate matter, by the way, is ole of the most useful tools of the modern propagandist. The lay reaoer may not understand that plate matter is tvpe in stereoty ped column-long blocks already for use, in a newspaper, and helps to fill up and cut down the amount of hand-set composition. The Democrat has recently been jffered in piate matter free, or at 1 nominal cost, these liquor news notes, "Pastor" Russell's no-hell literal ure, and whoop-up stuff for Judson Harmon and Wm. L Wil son for the presidential nomina tion. We might use a little of the latter but as a rule we fight ,shy of this free "pot-metal." The ad. of the Creamery as sociation in this issue ought to convince every farmer in Cataw ba that he cannot afford to stay out of this great co-operative or ganization. Read those July comparisons. Sales for the month in 1910 $1215 12; in 1911 3656.99. Hdw much did you share in the increase. There is a new hand in the editorial page of the Charlotte Observer. He is a little bit in clined to take the other side just to show how well he can handle it. but he is handing out a migh ty readable line. Welcome to the profesh, comiade, whoever you are. Miss Garvey for County Sup- erintendent To the Editor of The Democrat Mention was recently made of the desire of the people of Ashe county to nominate as county superintendent Miss Bina Fay Garvey, one of the best teachers and most intelligent women oi fine section of the State. Whereupon certain parties hunt ed up a law forbidding a woman's holding that office in North Car olina. This ridiculous and ought to be obsolete law simply shows how anxious certain legislator have ever been to keep all offices that promise even small pay for the male sex. Certainly our law makers of today will soon see that this statute is expunged from the books of North Caro lina. The writer recently had the ! high privilege of being thrown ! intimarely with Miss Garvey, and lis ready to testify that she is j capable, through intellect and ! scholarship, of holding any offic-- | in the Uuited States, from Presi -1 dent to queen of some good Ashe | county man's home (positions of j rqual honor and difficulty.) Lei I the gentlemen of the press se j that she is made superintendent of education of Ashe county, ii she and the people still desire it. and away with any law that gives woman all the hard wort of the schools and none of th pay or honors.

How to Get Rid of Smut and Cheat. J. C. Elliott, of laattiinore in Progres sive Farmer. The wheat crop in our section was pretty good, but damaged about 25 per cent by smut. I hat is a heavy toll to pay for negli gence, which can be easily a voided by wetting or soaking seed wheat in a solution of blue stone, using about a heaping ceaspoonfui to the bushel, ihis is an unfailing remedy for smut. Many careless farmers still raise cheat, or chess, and cockle in wheat and oats, contending that wheat snd oats, turn to cheat. This is a very timely warning of Mr. Elliott's. Smut can he prevented by treating the seed grain with either bluestone or formalin. The treatment in either case is inexpensive. Cockle seed can easily be detect ed in wheat or oats, but cheat is likely to pass unnoticed by the careless farmer, especially in oats. Plant only clean seed, and be sure by close examination that it is clean. $lOO Reward $lOO The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one drea *ed disease that science has been able to cure in ail its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con stitutional tieatnient. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surface of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its wcrk. The Proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers ttiat they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, Ohio.

Hoke Smith, of Georgia, been on the job, the farmers' free list bill as it passed the House would have passed the Senate. There may he not so much difference between the original and the compromise measure which passed, but from the Democratic viewpoint pro bablv it would have been better had the original gone through. It is for Texas to deal with Bail ey, but it can be said by anybody, for it's a fact, that Mr. Smith had no business to permit him self to be elected to the Senate unless he was going there to at tend to his duties. Seems that Mr. Smith is playing something of the hog to hold on to one job after having accepted another. Cuts and bruises may be healed in about one-third the time reduired by the usual treatment by applying Cham berlain's Liniment.
