It is a pitiful story of Kobert Harris and brothers of Reidsville who charge without qualification the wilful and deliberate destruc tion of their large tobacco manu facturing business, a business built up by a life time of labor, destroyed by the tobacco trust. While the Harris Bros, are among the last to succumb to these com mercial vandals, they are net the only ones that have gone down in stress and storm,victims of a pirate crew that have scuttled a many an honest indus trial business and sent it to the bottom, or a derelict upon the wide ocean of commercial disas ter, other iMW)f that the Sherman law was not doing business. It is bad enough to have great manufacturing industries destroyed in individual hands, to create a condition of industrial serfdom, but to add to this that truckling servile spirit of individual snobbery as practiced and holds sway in Winston and other towns where the dinasty of ill acquired wealth rules and dominates, its soverign scepter with the regal authority of demigods. It's enough to nauseate and sicken any one who revers and reverences the freedom and independence of American manhood. If this was all it would be enough, but it is not. Unlicensed power is eating like a cancer the very heart out of our higher social, and domestic system. The wretches who own so much money finds no trouble in dominating your homes, or in luring your wife, or daughter to their beastly lust. People sit down and worship this golden calf, little dreaming how they are contributing to the destruction of the best, highest and holiest there is in the domestic life. If Henry Wilson, recently returned Ambassador from Mexico, succeeds in securing enough support from the Senate to his scheems to have this Government recognize the Huerts administration of Mexico he will in our estimation have gotten the support to a murder gang, and we are not disposed to believe that Wilsons hands are entirely stainless. We care not how he impresses others, but to us he looks like a man it would do to let alone. He is a sinister cheemer. bo Something (New York Telegram.) It is a Macedonian cry for haste in settling the tariff matter that has gene up from all over the country. With the formal opening of debate in the senate President Wilson has been flooded with mail containing pleas that the uncertainty be ended. Business is being held up everywhere pending defi nite action, and the President must be aware of the fact. There need not be and should not be unnecessary delay caused by the opposi tion. Senator Cummins, for the repub licans, has assailed the measure in good set terms, severely criticised President Wilson’s course in shaping the bill and predicts democratic disaster. Let it go at that. The business world wants to know at once just where it stands. The burden of all the letters received is that it IS not so much a question of rates now as an end of uncertainty. Don’t wast any more time. The Cattle. By John Ingleton# The cattle are browsing in the meads Where tho clover loves to come, Where grasses brush against the weeds While golden bumblers hum. At eve the cattle for me wait. And watch for me, one by one, Until they hear me loose the gate, And call them to follow on. I love then as with setting sun They meekly follow me, Down the path by wild flowers run, Where the brook runs by the lea. There’s strength within each shaggy beast, And thoughts of honest toil From the cattle as they come to feast Or roam on the great earth’s soil. The Hideous Blot. CHEER OF THE OLD HOME TO CREATE DISTRUST. If we do not have a panic, little, or big it will not be be cause a number of prominent Republicans have not exausted their resources, and influence to bring one about. If to create distrust, to seek to harrass a country with doubt in regard to its commercial stability, is an evidence of the malign and sinister influence sought to be put in operation to the Nations awful harm then Lewis, Pen rose, Smoot, and others can be justly charged. There has been a day when the concentrated efforts of these men, would have raised a financial storm that would have quite near unroofed the Capital, but to day instead of the howling of the wind, we hear the hissing of the serpents of trust, and the storm of anger, at the aemand for a square deal. Mr. Wilson is in a position to throttle any attempt at a panic, and we feel sure he will choke the thing down at the very first evidence of danger. The most hideous blot on our civili zation today, the most shameful fact to be asserted about us throughout Christendom is seen in the homicide records of State after State, coupled with the callous indifference of juries to the horror of the situation and the utter break down of our judicial sys tem in its handling of murder. It passes the comprehension of Europe how this can be in the foremost re public of the world. In fact, it baffles any thoughtful American citizen for that matter to explain this dark phenomenon of our present social or der quite satisfactorily. In no “holier than thou” spirit, but rather in a spirit of anxious concern for our common civilization, we ^irect attention to the fearful record that a next-door State, Georgiy, has made during the past year as regards homi cidal activity and judicial lethargy or indifference. That no less than some hundreds of homicides should liave been committed in that otate, not to count \ictim.. of that peculiar form of murder called lynching, and over against this only 30 legal executions within the space of one year, is some thing well-nigh incredible. Along with this is seen a peculiar growing tendency, to make a joke of the situation, which is a subtle symptom of the insidious spread of that contempt, which familiarity breeds. Surely it is a Uephistophelian spirit that can see humor in so pitiful a tale of human beings done to death and courts of justice standing by unaroused by the scene! When will there come a turn in this path we are treading loward a heedlessne^s ot human life that shall make of murder one of the least of crimes and render the life of every citizen liable at any time to pay the forfeit for some slight offense given or obstruction occasioned to another. .To murder a fellow man is steadily be-1 coming safer than any other offense against society. Do our juries refuse to convict because capital punishment is involved and this extreme penalty no longer fits the spirit of our time? If so, better to change the law to one they will enforce. Is it that our judicial procedure gives the defendant so completely the better ot every strategic point in the conflict with the prosecution, that the latter is all but blocked? There is certainly a great deal in this. Yet why should we be more tender toward the murderer than to his victim, for whom there was no protection at the hands of the State? It is a condition sad, mortifying and dangerous all in one. Unceasing effort to correct it is the stern duty of every patriotic citizen.-^Columbia State. •Something Which Every Man and Woman Should Be Able to Look Back Upon. It would be a 4)l€ssing if we parents could just reflect that it may, be that the only cheer in life ■which our chil dren will get is the cheer of the old home, writes Frank W. Gunsaulus. They are hurrying out into the world which has no time to make then happ3^ If they are fortunate, as the world says, they'will probably have homes, where old-fashioned and romp ing cheerfulness would skin its shins against the furniture or break the Louis XIV. cliair. Blessed old days, and most -uiioKsome to look back upon, are those when the hearty laugh of father would not split the lace cui tains, and when mother could have two big, healthy children upon her lap while sho v; sitting down, with safety to all ]>: : . s, in her rocker. No coin on c;?’”;'. t osts so little to mint and goes r-' far in paying life’s heavy expenses - Good Cheer. Pessimists are ma.'ti before children are ten years of ri'ro, and pessimism comes when a r’liid cannot turn a golden laugh into rrady cash for life’s poverty and its relief. We talk about the cru elty of a father’s depriving a child of sufTioi-^nt cl'^thing. It la too bad; but a oiliUr ■ t r! would better be ruddy and hi rs tingle with cold than to ' . iiome with winter in the atniorr ’iere and the smiles all freezing \o death.

AUTOMOBILE OWNERS SHORT ON CASH. ‘‘It is learned from the office of the Secretary of State that a surprisingly large number of the checks sent in to pay annual State license taxes on automobiles are returned unpaid, most of them with the notation of *'insufii cient funds on deposit.” This is taken to illustrate how many people strain their finances in order to own an automobile.

The microbe is tenacious of life, for Migula found the bacillus leposporus placed on a sheet of glass lived for five years. Germs of potato disease sealed In a tube were living after a period of eight years. In 1879 Bail, of Prague, after a lapse of eighteen years, infected a mouse fatally with some bacilli. Nestler investigated clod of earth stored in a herbarium for over half a century, and found 89,200 living spores to the gramme. i and bugs not only are ail under The feeling of Instinctive revulsion against parasites of all kinds which characterizes humanity generally, and which Is due to something much more than the mere pain or r.nTToyance that their bites might inflict, become more interesting as further discoveries show the role of insects in the spread of disease. Unfortunately this - natural abhor rence has not been enough to protect man under conditions of poverty and uncleanliness from harboring such par asites, and now those who understand how much more than a* mere personal annoyance is in question from the ex istence of parasites must take up the problem to eradicate them. The possibility of the bedbug con veying relapsing fever, typhoid and leprosy has been suggested and ap parently there is no parasite of man that may not be a mode of disease conveyance.

C.—“I suffered for three summers,” writes Mrs. Walter Vincent, of this town, '‘and the third and last time, was my worst 1 had dreadful nervous headaches and prostration, and was scarcely able to walk about. Could not do any of my housework. 1 also had dreadful pains in my back and sides and when one of those weak, sinking spells would come on me, I would have to g^ve up and lie down, until it wore off. I was certainly in a dreadful state of health, when i finally decided to try Cardui. the woman’s tonic, and I firmly t>elieve 1 would have died if 1 hadn't taken it. After I began taking Cardui, 1 was greatly helped, and all three bottles re lieved me entirely. 1 fattened up, and grew so much stronger in three months, I felt like an other person altogether.” Cardui is pi!rely vegetable and gentle- acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic effect, on the womanly constitution. Cardui makes for increased strength, improves the appetite, tones up the ner vous System, and helps to make pale, sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy. Cardui has helped, more than a million weak women, during the past 50 years. It will surely do for you, what it has done for them. Try Cardui today.
