Be Careful of l our tiro.
For the information of those who
have not kept up with the laws passed
by the last legislature, we call atten¬
tion to the fact .hat they passed a law
making it a misdemeanor and a heavy
fine for any one to put out fire so as to
burn off the fields or lands of their
neighbors, whether the fire get out by
intention or carelessless, and at tho
same time it provides that they shall
be responsible for any damage such fire
may do. We call attention to this fact
just now, as it is about time people are
starting out for another crop, and, as
it is tiie custom to burn the grass off
of the field, to caution them that they
should be very careful and not let the
fire get beyond the place intended to
be burned.
, Sometimes fire is set out in a field
and gets beyond control and burns the
field and woods for miles. Under the
present law the one settiug out the fire
would be subject to be prosecuted by
every man whose woods or field was
burned, beside being responsible for
any damage that might be claimed.
It will be remembered that some
time last fall Mr. T. F. Turntpseed’s
residence four miles east of town was
burglarized duriug the absence of him¬
self aud family, and a lot of clothing,
a fine gun and some other things were
stolen. Mr. Turnipsecd got trace of the
gun a short time ago and recovered it
yesterday from a negro in . Arlington,
who said he got It from another negro

Already Uncle 8am is beginning to
realize (he hnrrassment of imperialism.
The. Mavlays in the Philippines are
still wearing their war paint and swear
they will nut be subject to the United
Stales or any other power; that they
will govern themselves or fight.
AgitinaUlo’s agents are now in
Washington for tho purpose of de¬
manding independence for the Filipi
noS. in what they say there is an im¬
plied threat that uuless their indepen¬
dence is recognized we will have to
get possession ol’ the Philippine* by
force, if wo got possession of them at
a!1 - The outlook is certainly far from
being a pleasant one. The Philippine*
have already cost us a very large sum
of money and a good many lives. .If
wo have to conquer tho Philippine iu
oute bcfoM wc can p088e88 r j oa <rf
°* the islands the cost may be so grout
that even the most enthusiastic expan*
siouist will bo ready to admit that it
was a mistake to insist upon possession
of the islands.
A dispatch from Havana says: It
was reported early this evening that
General Marlanoa Menocal and his
l uhau forces at La Papa had been ask¬
ed to take the oath of allegiance to tho
United Stales ami had refused.
Tho news that Cuban soldiers had
refused to take the oath of allegiance
was cheered by tho crowd and mount¬
ed insurgents scattered through the
town telling the people that General
Menocal bail withdrawn his troops
from 1 .a Faya and takeu to tho held.
Tin; United States Hag was tom
dmyii from many houses in the lower
district to-night.
The more excitable of the popula¬
tion of Havana’s lower districts are
beginning to hoot the American sol¬
diers. Tho higher class of Cubans are
bitterly chagrined and disappointed at
the turn alTmrs have taken.
The developments of the next few
days may mean peace or War between
the United States and Cuba.
Mr. S. A. Parkier, Editor of the
Micauopy (Fla,) Hustler, with his wife
and children, suffered terribly from
La Grippe, One Minute Cough Cure

It acted quickly. Thousands of others

Everything seems to he running to
trusts. That is because of our high
tariff. Such a tariff breeds trusts; and
the higher the tariff, the more trusts
there will be. The process is simple.
High prices, made possible because

long. The owners of the competing
mills get together and form a combi
nation, otherwise a trust. To make
an excuse for advancing prices tiie ac
tual capital of the* combination is mul
tiplieii by five, ten, fifteen or twenty,
and the trust is capitalized on paper,
for that amount. The trust points out
that it has so many millions of capital,
and that it is compelled to earn in tor¬
est on that amount, therefore it must
put up prices and reduce wages. The
public is compelled to pay for the wa¬
ter in the trust stock. The trusts have
never been more flourishing than
since the enactment of the Dinglcy
tariff law. Almost every day the in
