What Democrats Will Do
Olditime democrats will wait and
keep their power dry. If they
should despair, if they should break
apart, tbe country would be exposed
to political anarohy leading to rad
leaiism and excesses of every sort to
practical irresponsibility on tbe one
hand, unregenerate debauchery
hacked by restless force on the oth*
er band.
We may be a power tor good,
though beaten, and in opposition.
?5eyen millions of votes are neyer to
he ^tspised, in case they bold to
gether. Many states remain to us.
The constitution of the Uuited
States has not b^en abolished yet,
■or constitutional freedom, nor wise
and upright administration, and
these are still worth fighting for.
A Co ning Political Revo =
lution.
By Associated Prohibition Press.
The Cannon Dynasty, which al
lied with the brewers and the li
enor traffic of the entire country,
octraged Prohibition sentiment abd
■very other decent element in polls
tics last winter, seems tottering to
At* doom.
One of the firet serious omens of
disrster for the legislative Czardom,
was : he expo-nre of last spring, by
the Associated Prohibit Press, of
its compact with the brewers, by
which every temperance and Prohi
bition measure, save one, was turned
dawn and smothered to death in
tbe morguebfthe Judiciary Com-
miitee rooms.
The details of thi6 sixty days mas
sacre of more than fifty important
temperance measures—for the uro.
Uction of the thousands of no.Ii-
cense communities from interstate
liquor invasion; for the prohibition
of federal tax receipts to joints and
speak-easies in prohibition and li-*
cense territory; for prohibition in
the District of Columbia and for oth
er widely demanded reforms—were
laid bare by the Prohibition Nation's
al Committee's special representa
tives ut Washington and sent broad
cast over thr country.
This campain of education, in
which all temperance and prohibit
Aon organizations have heartily
united has during the past week
achieved its first decisive victory.
This is nothing less than the de
tent for renominatkm of Cannon’s
chief legislative headsman. John J.
Jenkins, whose “stand-pat” sarcasm
and rabid anti-prohibitioh procliv
ities marked him as a fit tool of the
brewers in their campaign of bluff to
prevent not only the passage, bat
even the consideration of the Hep
burn or Littlefield interstate bills
and all other similar measures,
Jenkin’s own Republican voters,
turned him down at the Wisconsin
primary Sept. 1st, and 'administered
attingin j rebuke to this brand of
politician.
Reduced Cotton Crop.
After a session lasting al most com*
tinensly^from 11 ©’clock in the morn
ing until midnigh-, the National
Farmers’ Educational and Co-opera,
tire Union, in executive session in
New Orleans concluded its consider
ation of seme of the most important
inestions which were brought bee
fore it. The results of this session
■a; be summed up as follows:
Resolution passed calling for the
reduction of 25 per cent, m the cot
ton crop and diversification ©t orops
Resolution unanimously adopted
denouncing night riding.
Resolntion passed calling for the
warehouse system on an extensive
leale and the formation of interstate
sompanies.
Resolution passed calling for the
ippointment of a committee of one
from each state United States rela.
Live to extension of rural free defer*
try and establishment of paree
post.
The delegates assembled there re*,
present 2,oOO,000 farmers of South
ern states.
Big’Increase to Vets.
The two constitutional amend
ments upon which Georgia voted are
passed and will become a part of
the state’s law.
These amendments are known as
the service pension and the eountv
police amendment.
The first of these authorizes the
payment of annual pensions to all
Confederate veterans or widows of
veterans whose personal property is
less than $l,5oo. The vote in the
state oh this was 54,185 for and 24'
4S0 against it.
Under the old pension law there
were a namber of veterans not able
• o secure help from the state. Ite
amendment brings all the old sold
iers under the pension law.
Tbe second amendment, winch au
thorizes counties <.o levy taxes for
the support of rural police, was car
ried by a very s-. all majority
The returns show that one*third
of the voters did not vote either
way on these propositions.
Some folks get all they caD, and
can all they get If the church
honse was a passenger train some
members would be put off at the
next station for trying to deadshead
their way.
Improved Cotton Seed.
Mr. J. W. Butts brought two
varieties of improved cotton seeds
last winter and planted them last
spring with highly satisfactory re
sults,’the King’s Improved Select,
and “Harden’s Prolific.”
Sat for a drought which struck
it hard at the critical period some of
the cotton bad produced two bales
per acre, and as it was, came near
doing so. Being no more difficult to
produce than ordinary cotton and
much easier to pick, it strikes ns as
tbe variety to plant, even if it should
produce but one bale per acre.
Seed can be had of Mr. John V.
Lester Attapalgue, Ga., at $2 5o per
bnshet, and he has only about 5o
bushels.
Ttt UKPIH SICUEB
WHICH HEMS DEATH
How many readers have heard qf this
terrible disease? It prevails In that
far-away country—Africa—especially
the Congo district It Is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When It
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
bahny sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
fly bite ns we would do almost any
thing for relief. How cam w© pre
vent it? Mr. George Hayes, of
Union City, Pa., writes: "I had lost
my appetite, was all run-down, could
not sleep nights. I had tried every
thing without relief. V?nol was rec
ommended, and to my surprise. It
helped me at once; gave me a splendid
appetite, and now I sleep soundly.”
What Vino! did for Mr. Hayes, it will
do for every run-down, nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep.
The Verdict af Experience.
When you have used a thing twenty
years you know pretty well what it is.
A baker writes from Sidney, Neb., that
for twenty years he has been using Cot-
tolene in his bakery, and finds it the
best cooking fat he ever used. He even
recommends its use to those who are
doing their own baking. This testi
monial is noteworthy because it is from
a man who makes baking his business
and who therefore is in position to
judge from long practical use.
Cottolene can be used for all shorten
ing and frying purposes; makes plump,
crisp doughnuts, flaky biscuits and light,
rich cake. It is better, cheaper anc
more wholesome than lard.
M. F. Church Bazaar.
The ladies of the Methodist
church are planning a bazaar begin
ning 5J©t\ 3otb, and are bending

success. It cannot be done without
the support of the entire mem,
bership and the members of the com
mittees given below are earnestly
requested to meet at onee.and push
forward their*arrangements lor a sne
