least breaking up the alliance be¬
twixt them and the railroads, an
alliance based on greed. For ex¬

Wayokoss, Jan. 3.— That rela¬
tives of Sam Clyatt, former mayor
of Tifton who disappeared so mys-
’eriously Oct.ber 25 of last ye.r,
him ud for dead, be-
came evident today when repre-
st-ntatives of a Georgia insurance
com p r an y secured affidavits regard-
irtg Clystt’s visit to Waycross the
day after he was missed from his
home. It was found upon investi¬
gation that Clyatt came here Octo¬
ber 26 and was recognized by a
former resident of Tifton, E. C.
Waite Where he went from Way-
ot oss has not been discovered.
From the action of the insurance
compaay it is believed that it in¬
tends to fight the request for $25,-
000 on a life policy Clyatt left.

Governors and other leaders
from several Southern states re¬
cent^ conferred in Baltimore on
laboi and industrial conditions in
tkau section. Tbe reawakened
Bomb, industrially and agricultur¬
ally expanding at a rata unknown
since the Civil War, needs labor
Ttere is insistent demand that Eu¬
ropean immigrants be steered to
douth to supply this demand^
The negro is almost ignored in
this demand for immigration. He
is set down as hopeless, trifling,
futile impossible. But is it safe
to rush to that conclusion?
Though the white population of
the South is increasing more rap
idly than the black, and though
every decennial census makes it
more clear that there is no possi
ble danger of the black, as once
was feared, coming to predomi
nate—despite all this, the fact re
mains that there are some eleven
millions of colored people in the
country, and that they cannot be
got rid of. Tiiere stands the hard
fact.
It m iy be that the negro is not
so desirable a worker in factorv
or Held as tbe immigrant; but ii
tbe immigrant takes his place, the
negro will be left on the hards of
society, demanding the means of
livelihood, a menace to the com¬
munity in greater and greater de
gree just in proportior as the hope-
lessness of his condition is made
more apparent.
If tne South’s eleven million ne-
groes could be traded off for elev-
en millions of whites, that would
be a solution. But they cannot
be. The negroes are there, and
will stay there. They must be
provided for; made as useful as
possible; made to support them-
selves.
To make the most, the best, of
its negro workers is the first big
duty of the South. It is the most
difficult problem before the nation
It cannot be solved by the ef
fort to drive the negro out; l e win
not be driven out. He must be

How to Control the
Trusts
We should have legislation that
will as suiely prevent a corpora
tion from injuring or dealing un¬
fairly with another corportiou as
the laws already secure in the case
of individuals. If competition is
given » fair show, business may
be done on a big scale indeed, hut
we not believe it will tend toward
the formation of actual monopo¬
lies; and in eas>e actual competi¬
tion exists, the people would ge*
greater benefits from cornpeiitim
among big business concerns, ao!>
managed and economically adm;-*
iStered, than they would from cim
petition among a greater nnm
of little businesses unable to ei
feet the economies that. a*v. possi
bio only through combination aim
co-operation on a large scale.
Instead of following the <!ema
gogues who cry, “Lets break up
all the big corporations and put
their organizers in jail,” and in
stead ot following the hirelings
who cry, “Let the trusts alone or
you’ll make a panic and ruin busi
ness,” is there not a wiser com¬
policy that may be
briefly summarized as follows:
(i) See that the trusts or big
corporations that, have been guilty
„f vicious methods, that have
grown big bv oppression and rob¬
bery (as the Tobacco Trust, for
example) are adequately punisl ed
and not merely split, into seperate
companies to be controlh'd by the
same forces as heretofore.
(2) Enact stringent legislation
and create proper governmental
gencies P> prevent big corpora-
10 ns from crushing competition
>v unfair methods, but legislation
will leave the people the benefits
and economies that come from con
fueling business on a large eculo.
(3) With unfair competition
prevented, big industries would
secure tbe advantages of greater
economy of production, but there
is little reason that any one organ¬
ization would monopolize a pro¬
duct. In case of an actual monop¬
oly, however, the Government
should protect the public from ex-
to iiou by limiting prices and
piviiU.

When peopie read about the

William Goeoier, 211 Roanoke
Drive, Fitzgerald, Ga., says: “I
am pleased to recommend Doan’s
Kidney Pills as they have helped
me wonderfully. My kidneys
troubled me for years and I was
obliged to g t up several times -a
night, owing to a kidney weak-
n ss. My back ached almost con¬
stantly and I rested, poorly. When
i got up in the morning, I felt
lame and stiff and could hardly get
around. Hearing about Doan’s
Kidney Pills, I obtained a supply
and their use corrected my trouble.
f C!1U sa Y that Doan’s Kidney Pills

than anything else I have ever
taken.” (Statement given April 15
1908.)
