COTTON AM> MONEY.
If the panic through which the
country has Just gone had occurred
next year, our Republican friend*
would have claimed that It was caus
ed by the fear of Mr. Bryan’s elec
tion to the Presidency. Ah it is,
the financial wiseacres are put to
wit’s end to explain the cause of the
great disaster which has overtaken
the country. To us It seems to be
natural and Inevitable result of the
more or less righteous agitation a-
gnlnst corporations. This agitation
has disclosed so much of rottenness
and graft among the high financiers
of the country that confidence has
been badly shaken. The business
of the world is done on credit, and
confidence is the basis of credit. The
failure of some big speculators In New
York caused a run on the banks with
which they were connected, and these
were forced to the wall, causing
a panic which has affected the whole
country. There have been surpris
ingly few failures, however, outside
of New York, and the worst feature
of the situation is the tying up of the
currency which has resulted. The
New' York Hanks having Issued clear
ing house certificates to help out the
deficiency, and other cities have fol
lowed suit. The national banks *if
the country are Issuing additional cur
rency, and large shipments, of gold
are on the way from Europe to tills
country, which will greatly relieve the
stringency.
The worst effect on the Louth Is
on our cotton market. The scarcity
of money has forced the price down,
and the farmer Is the Innocent suf
ferer and It is unnecessary to add
that every business interest suffers
with him. We believe It would be a
great misiak* for our I in.urs to s 11
their cotton at. the 1 resent i rice, but
yet they should by all mentis make
some arrangements to help out those
they owe. The conditions are such ns
to require mutual forbearance ai d co
operation.
Our excellent Cedartowu banks have
responded nobly to the emergency,and
are doing everything In their power
to relieve the pressure. Full! o the
hanks of some of our neighbor.::.: cit
ies, tiny have kept right on lo>:i.ng
money on cot'on and handing out cur
rency without r a.rlctlon.
Elsewhere in this i sue We publish
a communication from Hon. 1. Full-
wood v hlch was also published in
Sunday’s Constitution, suggesting a
plan of local currency for the South
which is worthy of consideration. The
Tri-Weekly Constitution comment: cd
Itorially on such a plan with favor.
Should the money stringency con
tinue for any length of time, such
a plan as Mr. Full wood suggests wool
become an absolute necessity.
Following this suggestion,President
Duckworth has written ta Secretary of
the Treasury Corlelyou asking per
mission for the Farmers’ Union to
issue $100,ODD.000 of cotton certificates
at 50 per cent of the present market
price, the cotton being In the bond
ed warehouses of the Union through
out the South.
Mr. Fullwood presented the plan at
the county meeting of the Farmers’
Union at Rock mart last Friday, nnd
it met with such favor that a joint
meeting of the farmers and business
men, such as was held in Cedartown
recently, was held in the afternoon. At
this meeting the plan was favorably
discussed by Messrs. Buell Stark, S.
E. Smith, W. H. Morgan. L. Allgood,
D. H. Hubbard and W. Ferguson, all
of whom expressed hearty sympathy
with the farmers in their efforts to
get a fair price for their cotton.
National President Barrett and
State President Duckworth, of the
Farmers’ Union, have called meetings
to be held in every county in the
South to adopt such co-operative
measures as were recently put in
practice by the mass meeting here.
No meeting will be held in Polk on
that day, as this county was the
pioneer in the movement and has al
ready acted.
The panic in New York seems
without sufficient reason at this dis
tance. As one New York paper puts
it, the cause is psychological rather
than logical. Folks simply got scar
ed and went crazy, just as they rush
ed to the other extreme there a few
months ago. We are glad to say that
the situation appears to b* rapidly
iiuproKlag, aad while “sqttliing day'
is going to be hard for some folks,
the country will emerge rrom it in
better condition than ever before.
In the meantime, everybody can
help the situation by putting their
money In the bank and paying their
bills with checks. This is the best
way of doing business anyhow, as
ihe cancelled check is the best sort
of a receipt.
A GOOD HUGO KMT I ON.
Next year will l.e Haralson’s turn
to furnish the Senator from the 28th
District, and the many Cedartown
friends of I)r. W. H. Williamson, a
former excellent Mayor of this city,
will be Interested In the following sug
gestion of the Bremen Gateway: —
"Having been made the custom In
the past in the matter of electing Sen
ators for this the 38th Senatorial Dis
trict-composed of the counties of
Polk, Paulding and Haralson— by ro
tation, and it fall ling to Haralson’s
time to furnish the next Senator, the
Gateway suggests the name of Dr. W.
H. Williamson as the suitable gentle
man to represent the people of the
district In the upper house of the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia*
"This paper does not know of a
more suitable person for the position,
nor one who would be more active In
looking closely safttr the best Inter
ests of all the people of the district
than would Dr. Williamson, of our
city. He Is well and favorably known
to not only the people of the district
alone, but over the state as well, and
no one would be more alert in the
discharge of the duties of the office
than he." _

tion that the admiss.on fee at the nex

"I owe a debt of gratitude that can
never be paid off,” writes G. S.Clarke,
of Westfield, Iowa, "for my rescue
from death, by Dr. King’s New' Dis
covery. Both lungs were so serious
ly affected that deaath seemed im
minent, when 1 commenced taking
New Discovery. The ominous dry,
hacking cough quit before the first
bottle was used, and two more bottles
made a complete cure." Nothing has
ever equalled New Discovery for
coughs, colds and all throat and lung
complaints. Guaranteed by Bradford,

Broad st., Augusta. Ga., says: "My
back was very weak and ached con
stantly. I could not find anything to
do it any good, although I used rem-
cdies.wore plasters and rubbed It with
liniments. The dull aching caused me
to lose sleep at night and I would
rise in the morning as tired as when
1 went to bed. The secretions from
the kidneys were red and full of
sediment, causing me no end of suf
fering. The lack of rest was under
mining my general* health. At this
time 1 heard about Doan's Kidney
Pills, and got a Lox which I used
according to directions. My back
ache was relieved the next day, and
after taking tw r o boxes of the remedy,
it entirely left, me and the kidney se
cretions cleared up and became nat
ural and my general health improv
ed."

What Would You Do?
In case of a burn or scald what
would you do to relieve the pain?
Such injuries are liable to occur In
any family and everyone should be
prepared for them. Chamberlain's
Salve applied on a soft cloth will re
lieve the pain almost instantly, and
unless the injury is a very severe one,
will cause the parts to heal without
leaving a scar. For sale by Russell
