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." _ The Standard rises to make a mo tion that the admiss.on fee at the nex Polk County Fair bo only 25 cents.

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."

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."
