CARDUI WORKED
UKE_A CHARM
After Operation Failed to Help,
Cardui Worked Like a Charm.
Jonesrille, 8. C.—"I suffered with
womanly trouble,” writes Mrs. J. S.
Kendrick, in a letter from this place,
“and at times, I could not bear to stand
on my feet. The doctor said I would
never be any better, and that I would
have to have an operation, or I would
have a cancer.
I went to the hospital, and they oper
ated on me, but I got no better. They
said medicines would do me no good,
and I thought I would have to die.
At last I tried Cardui, and began to
Improve, so 1 continued using It. Now,
I am well, and can do my own work.
I don't feel any pains.
Cardui worked like a charm.”
There must bo merit In this purely
vegetable, tonic remedy, for women—
Cardui—for it has been In successful
use for more than 50 years, for the
treatment of womanly weakness and
disease.
Please try It, for your troubles.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 18.—"I
confidently expect that the next ten
years will witness a degree of pro
gress in waterway improvements in
this country which will contribute
enormously to its prosperity," said
Representative Richard W. Austin,
of Tennessee. Mr. Austin is a mem
ber from the Second Tennessee dis
trict. which alwaiys elects republl
ns, but he stands highly among his
people of both parties as a public
spirited, progressive citizen. Reared
ear the Muscle Shoals, of the Ten
nessee river, in Alabama, aud long
resident of Knoxville, on the upper
Tennessee, lie has been always an
ardent advocate of liver and harbor
improvements and has ben a constant
attendant upon conventions devoted
to the subject.
‘I base my sanguine look ahead,”
added Mr. Austin, 'upon the plainly
apparent national awakening to the
importance of this public work which
has gone forward within the last
few years. 1 recall that during the
navigable river, lie has come to
know that railroad rate regulation
has not yet solved the problem to the
satisfaction of his brollier, and if
the latter he a man of discerning in
telligence he will know that he will
be somewhat at the mercy of the rail
road, if it operates without competi
tion. Agitation for (omplete regula
tion of the railroads, begun effective
ly during the Roosevelt administra
tion, will continue, and ought to con
tinue, stopping only at a live-and-let
ive policy, and avoiding everything
that savors of confiscation. That
will go on, and we might as well
realize It. We have yet to learn what
is fair between the carrier as a pub
lic servant and the public. To my
mind it would be best for the rail
ways, as well as for business peace
and stability, that the government
should go ahead pursuing a liberal
policy of improvements to the end
of completing a nation-wide, harmon
ions water-way system, and that by
annual improvements. We, in some
localities do not always agree with
the army engineers In charge of pro
jects, but they are our Indispensable
guides, and in the board of engineers
for rivets and harbors we have :i
high-class court of last resort, tc
which we can appeal when our bus!
ness people see a fault to find in the
report and recommendation or lack
of recommendation by the local en
gineer.
“Another, and a very important
question Incidental to waterway im
provement which, the ill-considered
debate of the extra session developed
when the bill for the Improvement of
the Black Warrior river in Alabama,
was pending is a satisfactory solu
tion of the water-power problem. It
would be a shameful discredit to our
practical statesmanship if we should
have to confess that we never could
utilize our waterways because the
constitution inhibited the govern
ment from making sale of water pow-
The government In its public
works on the rivers has been per-
aded to construct dams and for
something else besides purposes of
navigation, as witness what has been
done in the irrigation of arid lands
in the west, while in the reclamation
service it has gone into business, just
as would a private party or a corpor-
ption securing a fund from the pro
ceeds of the sales of public lands,
am not of that class who think at any
time lightly or irreverently of the
constitution of the United • States,
but I am one of those who believe
in the wise comment of its greatest
interpreter, John Marshall, when he
said of it in a noted opinion—in Mc
Culloch V. Maryland—"Its nature re
quires that only Us great outlines
should be marked, and its important
objects designated. It was intended
to endure for ages to come, and to be
adapted to the various crises in hu
man affairs. If there Is any doubt
on this question of the constitutional
ity of the employment of the water
power of navigable streams, th«l
doubt ought to resolve In favor of
what will advance the prosperity of
the people and not what will hinder
it. So I believe that the waterpower
problem will be solved, and ere long.
Most of our southern states abound
in an Immense volume of waterpower.
'Its utilization, with righteous and
sensible safeguards for navigation,
would multiply our already progres
sive manufacturing industries into
myriads of mills and factories con-
cotton producing country of the world
bringing raw cotton half way around
the globe and importing it for use in
her own manufacturing industries. It
is nevertheless a fact that the United
States, which produces practically
two-thirds of the world's cotton,
btought from China during the last
fiscal year (1911) more than 9 million
rounds of raw cotton, at a cost in
that country of more than one mil
lion dollars and from India In 1910
about 5 1-2 million pounds, at a val
uation of more than a half million
dollars. Other distant sections of the
world were also drawn upon—Peru,
4 3-8 million pounds in 1911; Dutch
East Indies, in 1909, nearly a half mil
lion pounds; Haiti in 1911, nearly a
half million pounds, while other con
tributors include Venezuela, Ecuador,
British West Indies. Santo Domingo.
Mexico, Panama, Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, while from Egypt, the chief
source of supply of long stapled, high
grade cotton, the Imports in 1911
were larger than in any earlier year,
amounting to SS million pounds. In
addition to this there was imported
from England about 7 1-2 million
pounds, presumably chiefly East In
dian. Egyptian and West African,
sinoe England, of course, produces no
otton. Raw cotton importations in
1911 were larger than in any earlier
ear. amounting to 113,7668,313
pounds, valued at $24,776,320.
-High prices of domestic cotton are
the cause of the large increase In im
portation of cotton, especially that
from China and India. The quantity
cotton imported from China reach
ed a quarter of a million pounds prior lions: in 1910, 86 millions and in 1911
to 1908, and in 1909 was practical! y 1113 3-4 million pounds.
ining a variety of raw material un
excelled in quality and quantity in
the world. I ant one of those who
believe in a greater nation through a
greater south, for I believe that in
the development of the wonderful
natural resources of the southern
slates through waterway improve
ment and through evry incidental
benefit afforded by it the national
osperity would he promoted as
through no other agency. The na
tional rivers and harbors congress
has been a faithful agitator. Its con
vention here next December ought
to have a very large attendance, and
nc doubt will, as congress at the
next session will pas the annual river
and harbor bill for the ensuing year.”
lion and in 1911, 9 million pounds.
From India the quantity imported sel
dom reached a half million pounds
prior to 1908, in which year the total
was over three-quartets of a million
pounds; in 1910, 5 1-2 and in 1911,
2 1-2 millions. The Chinese and In
dian cottons are as a rule of shorter
staple than that of the United States,
and as a consequence are rated at a
somewhat lower price in the world’3
markets, a fact which accounts for
the large growth in the importation
of these cottons in the recent years in
which American cotton has command
ed exceptionally high priqes. On the
other hand, Egyptian cotton which is
of longer staple, higher quality, and
therefore higher in price than that
of tlie United States, still forms a
large proportion of the imports, the
quantity imported direct from Egypt
in 1911 being 88 million pounds out
of a total of 114 million pounds im
ported in that year, and its value
2(11-2 million dollars, ouf of the 24 3-4
million dollars worth of cotton , im
ported.
Cotton , importation has shown
steady if not rapid growth, especial!
during the last 20 years. Prior to
the civil war the quantity imported
seldom reaehed more than one mil
lion pounds per annum. During the
war the quantity imported was quite
large, ranging as high as 36 million
pounds in 1865, but dropping to 6 mil
lion pounds in 1866 and less than 1
million in 1867. By 1870 the total im
portation of cotton was 1 2-3 million
pounds: in 1880, 3 1-2 millions; in
1S90. 8 1-2 millions; in 1900. 67 mil-
COTTON MILL
LAWIN EFFECT
After Jan. 1st, Operatives Will
Work Sixty Hours Per
Week
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 18.—There have
been numerous inquiries as to when
Georgia's new cotton mill labor law
goes into effect.
The new law which is merely
amendatory of the existing statue,
goes into effect January 1, 1912. It
affects the hours of labor in all cot
ton and woollen mills except engi
neers, firemen, watchmen, mechanics
teamsters, clerical help and yard em
ployes. It applies to all operative-
in the mills and those upon whom
devolve the handling of looms, spin
dies and such machinery.
Under the present statue these em
ployes are permitted to work 66 hours
each week, an average ot eleven hours
day, and they may work additional
hours on certain days in order to ge;
half holiday Saturday. The result
lias been they worked 12 hours a day
for five days and six hours on Satur
tiav, us a rule.
The new law simply reduces the
number of hours per week to 60, bu!
does not Interfere with the Saturday
half holiday arrangement. Under th-
amendment, after January 1, next,
they will work eleven hours a day
for five day-3 and Avar hours on Satur
days. It is only mandatory that the
number of hours of labor shall not
exceed sixty per week.

PRESIDENT TAFT IN MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Mich., Sept. 18.—Michigan

bodies. A ride about the city occu
pied the remainder of the afternoon.
