JTEW YORK, March 1#.—Th* South
Carolinian* of New York gar* their
first annual dinner at the Waldorf-
Astoria tonight, with former Secretary
of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson of Princeton,
and Judge Joe. A. McCullough, of
South Carolina, as tne principal speak
er*.
President Wiison nad for his sub
ject "South Carolina's most famous
statesman. John C. Calhoun." and
gfter paying tribute to him, Mr. Wilson
discussed national matters. He said in
part:
"It Is interesting to note how o»
progress is pushed to such a speed and
urged hy such means that the peace of
the country is threatened. Its interests
thrown Into discord. Our trouble
the preset,t moment Is that tariff and
all special means of stimulation hav
been pushed too far and too fast,
the destruction of balance and har
mony In the social and economic of
the "country. We are obliged to ac
knowledge lhat we have lost our heads
in our pursuit of wealth and material
p p« er.
“A moment of self-distrust, or rather
distrust of each other, has come upon
us. We are disconcerted and demor
allseed beyond measure disgusted, and
therefor.- sadly in need of such coun
s<! as shall seek lo restore old balance
and harmonies and moderations of ac
tion.
Stimulated By the Tariff.
"Having lost wise self-possession
our too eager progress we are In da
ger of losing it In our efforts to reform
We have stimulated material progress
In every war that we could think of.
The chief Instrurneht of stimulation
ha- he,n the tariff By this means
was sought to give to every sort
organized industry some special pro
lection of law. Until recent years tb
momentum thus induced seemed to
threaten nothing.
"But at last everything moved with
a rush, by leaps and bounds. Upon
colossal success followed success or
ganization. A spirit of madness for
success upon a great scale seized upon
those who actually conducted the great
business and knew how to make them
pay: madness for money seized upon
those who undertook their manlpu
latlon.
"We have by our own forgetfulnes
of the true principles of legislation
Treated classes and put colossal Inter
ests at clash with one another. These
changes of our own blind contriving
have carried us so far that we are
actually Invited to alter the whole pla
of our constitutional system to set
matters right. We are Jnvlted to push
government into every experlmen
function in order to correct the vagar
les of development which we fostered
but did not understand.
Go to Root of the Evil.
"It will require a steady hand and
clear head to go to the root of the dls
pase, but to the root we should go.
Is evident. In the first place, that we
ought not to punish the prosperous men
for having accumulated the wealth we
Invited them to accumulate. I bellev
In income and inheritance taxes
means for raising revenues. But I do
not believe In such taxes, or In any
taxes, as a mere means of penalizing
the rich, whom we have Invited to
their wealth under fosterage of the
Government. The root of inequality Is
not in wealth, but In the special favors
granted by such legislation as the ex
travngant tariff laws which hav<? been
put upon our statute books since the
war began between the States.
"What we chiefly need, is a genuine
purpose of reform, and sufficient self
possession to undertake it. The pur
pose can not come from friends and
beneficiaries of the legislation of fos
terage and privilares; it must come
from those who are not Its friends, but
Its convinced and earnest opponent*.
We get over our hysterta. Mere reform
of the tariff Is not sufficient. It Is not
even an Intelligent program. The tar
iff Is hy no meani the whole root of the
difficulty, and la slow to change. Every
correction must be a process of ad
justment, or prudent rearrangement
Moreover, wc must be careful to deal
frankly and without fear or favor, with
class privilege of all kinds.
Wants Labor Reforms.
“There Is another as formidable Hn
enemy to equality and freedom of op
portunltv as It. and that Is the class
formed by the labor organizations and
leaders of the country representing only
a small minority of the laboring men of
the country, quite as monopolistic in
spirit as the capitallats and quite as
apt to corrupt and ruin our industries
by their monopoly. If we are to restore
the purity of our law and the freedom
of our life, we must see to it—In all
moderation and In all fairness—that no
class whatever is given artificial priv
lieges or advantages, that our life move
free again of fear or favor, from what
ever quarter, for whatever class. What
we need is not a square deal, but no
deal at all—an old fashioned equality
*nd harmony of conditions—a purged
business and a purged law."
Shaw’s Rssponse to Toast.
Mr. Shaw, In rsiponding to the
toast. "Ths United States,” took oc
casion to refer to the railroad sltua
tlon. saying among other things:
"Men have been actually scared into
serious illness simply by being told
that they look sick, and Instances are
more numerous still where radical
cures have been effected -by producing
an optimistic mental condition. There
has been reoently given out a number
of pessimistic Interviews, and on
Thursday last there occurred a se
rious local -panic, the result of physo-
cological and logical causes.
"Not until apprehension of danger
resulting from repeated predictions of
evil leads to less acreage planted, less
raw material purchased for Vhe facto
ries. less labor employed, and a cur
tailment In consumption generally,
will we suffer commercial collapse.
Let it be understood that he who In
vests ^ils money in railroad extension
or in railroad equipment shall be as
safe and as secure from the reckless
ambition of the manipulator on the
one hand and from the reckless ambi
tion of the demagogue on tho other, as
the man who elects to Invest in farm
lands, town lots, mines, factories or
forests.
Our Circulation Congested.
"Our circulation only la congested.
In other words, our transportation
facilities are far below our needs. I
make assertion that we are now as
much fn reed of doable tracking on
trans-eontlnontal lines of railroad as
we were originally In need of tbeae
lines. The combined railroads could
not transport an army wlrh necessary
supplies to the Pacific coast in six
teen month*. Our salvation lies in the
tact that no army will be needed on
the Pacific coast or elsewhere. At
least let us so hope and so pray.
“The problem which confronts us
now is how to induce capital to invest
tn additional trackage. I do not be
lieve It can be done by legislation or
mandamus and through receivership.
“Let the Investor in railroads be
protected from management having
for its end manipulation, and from
Government ownership or confiscation
having for Its end political aggran
disement and the money will be forth
coming with which to double and
quadruple track our roads as needed,
and a measure of prosperity will be
assured as great as it is for our com
mon good to enjoy."

Arbitrary Rate
Declared Unjust
Six Important Opinions by
Commissioner Pronty
Anuonnced.
Batch of Current
Gate City News
WASHINGTON, March 19.—Six de-
islona were announced Monday by the
Interstate- Commerct Coinmlsmun, all of
the opinion* being prepared by Com
missioner Prouty. The most important
of the cases decided was that <-f the
American Live Stock Association and
the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association
against the Texas anil Facittc Railway
Company and others. Tfi« commission
holds that the public requires the es
tablishment of through routes and Joint
rates formerly provided for In Joint tar
iffs, but grants leave to any party to
apply for a modification of the order
which may be issued In this proceeding
at any time and provides that such
order shall be withheld for thirty days.
The carriers are granted authority to
change such Joint tariffs upon ten 'lays’
notice to the public and to the commis
sion.
In the case of the Birmingham Pack
ing Company, against the Texas and
Pacific Railway Company and othcra,
the commission ordered that a. through
route and Joint ratd thereover of not
exceeding 50 cents per hundred pounds
be established and maintained for ihe
transportation of beef cattle In car
loads from Fort Worth, Texas, to Bir
mingham, Ala.
In the cas# of the Blackwell Milling
and Elevator Company against the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway
Company, It was shown that on ship
ments of flour and other grain products
the carrier had enforced an arbitrary
charge of five cents per hundred poll ads
to be applied In addition to its regular
transportation charges upon shipments
received from connecting lines, but it
discontinued Imposition or arbitrary, ef
fective February 11, 1907.
Arbitrary Rate Unjust,
The commission bolds that this five
cent arbitrary rate was unjust and un
reasonable and requires the carriers to
efraln from applying the same during
a period of two years hereafter. The
complainant Is awarded reparation In
the sum of $113.
The case of the Ponca City Milling
Company against the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas Railway Company was
based upon the same facts as the fore
going case of the Blackwell Milling and
Elevator Company and the commis
sion’s decision is to the same effect.
The complainant is awarded reparation
in the sum of $37.
In the case of J. B. Harrell, against
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway
company, complaint was made of the
unreasonableness of a rate on coal
from St. Louis, Mo., to Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma as applied to shipments
originating In West Virginia, covering
total distance of over 1,300 miles;
but the complaint Is held by the com
mission to put no question of practical
importance in view of the proximity of
the coal fields In Oklahoma, Arkansas
and Kansas and also the much shorter
distance from coal fields In Colorado
and Missouri. The complaint is dis
missed without prejudice to tho right
of the complainant or any other person
to call in question the reasonableness
of this same rate In case It shall here
after become of actual consequence.
In the case of D. W. Durham against
the Illinois Central railroad company,
complaint was made that the rate of
21 cents per hundred pounds on brick
machinery, in carloads, from Lockland.
Ky, to East St. Louis. Ills., was un-
asonab e and unduly discriminatory.
The coir.mission holds that the rate
from Lockland does not violate sections
or 4 of the statute and further that
he rate from Lockland Is not upon
the evidence presented unreasonable
under the first section of the law.
ATLANTA, March 19.—At the an
nual dinner of the Atlanta Chamber ot
Commerce tonight. President W. W.
Finley, of the Southern Railway, who
was one of the principal speakers, de
voted his remarks entirely to the re
lations between the railroads, on the
one hand, and the people and the State
and National Government on the other
hand. Without referring to any spe
cific action by Congress or the State
Legislatures. Mr. Finley Indicated his
belief that the present trend of legis
lation endangers the prosperity of the
railroads and of the country alike. Mr.
Finley said It had always been the de
sire of the railways to maintain cor
dial relations with the people along
their lines and that the railways must
cultivate the good will and co-opera
tion of the public by the adoption and
promulgation of economically and com
mercially sound principles in the con
duct of their business. Mr. Finley re
viewed the progress of the South and
said that its pressing need today Is
for better and more extensive trans
portation facilities.
"If the railways are to secure the
large amounts of new capital required
to enable them to meet the rapidly in
creasing demand for their services ’’ he
ss!d. “their credit must be such as to
assure investors of a reasonable return
upon their money. The South now has
rates that enable Southern producers
to market their products In widely sep
arated home and foreign markets on
such terms that they can compete suc
cessfully with similar products from
other localities, but It has not the
means of moving those products to - n Kan . as be re p reS ented in this

than rate reduction. The Imperative

the intelligent, business: men of this
section will agree with me that Im

After referring to the public aid
given to railway construction In the
early days, Mr. Finley said the great
.need in the economic situation In the
South today H that the entire people
of that section should realize thet the
period of railroad construction has
not passed and that there is now as
much need of encouragement, not
financial, but of the moral favor and
support of the public as ever.
While approving the policy of Im
proving rivers and harbors at public
expense. Mr. Finley contrasted the at
titude of the public towards carriers by
water and by rail, pointing out that the
former pays nothing for his highways;
that it is maintained and Improved at
public expense, while the carrier by
rail must construct his own highway,
must pay heavy taxes and is subjected
to increasing governmental supervision
and regulation. He urged a popular
understanding of the fact that rail
transportation Is more Important than
water transportation, expressing the
belief that when the Interdependence
of the railways and tho people is un
derstood, the people will be as reluc
tant to place obstacles In the way of
railway improvement as they would be
to oppose the Improvement of water
ways.

tion of a Kansas State Union in the
near future. The membersshlp In that
State is now practically sufficient for
State organization.
On Wednesday, March 27, at Marion,
HI., President Barrett will assist In the
organization of the Illinois Farmers'
Union wh'ch will, at the start, boast
about 35,000 members. Of these about
22 000 were recently taken In from Il
linois Farmers' Union which, while
bearing the same name, was an en
tirely different Institution from the
Farmers’ Educational and Co-opera
tive Union of America, of Which Mr.
Barrett ils president The National
Farmers’* Union had also acquired a
good membership in the State, so that
the new State organization will start
out under the most favorable auspices.
From Illinois President Barrett will
go direct to New York city where,
with representatives of the Southern
Cotton Association, he will meet John
R. McCall, representative of the Na
tional Spinners. Mi*. McCall was presi
dent of the conference held last May in
Washington between the spinners and
producers, and still acts In that ca
pacity.
The object of President Barrett's
.visit lo New York is to confer with
Mr. McCall regarding a conference
this summer between the American
spinners and the producers of cotton,
with a view to establishing direct trade
relations between the growers and pro
ducers. At this meeting a date will be
set for the conference which will prob
ably be some time in June. Two places
have been suggested for the confer
ence Atlanta and Norfolk. Some want
to go to Norfolk on account of the
Jamestown exposition, while others are
anxious that the conference be held

and his services to his country, this
camp most earnestly urges his reap

"Resolved, That a copy of these res

ATLANTA, March 19.—Acting upon
the motion made by Attorney-General
John C. Hart on March 14, the Su
preme Court today appointed the fol
lowing committee from the members
of the Georgia bar to prepare and re

the life and character of the late

The Supreme Court provides In it3
order that the committee make report
to the court at 12 o'clock noon on July
3, 1907, which is the SOth anniversary
of Judge Bleckley’s birth, and at that
compound, how to

The compound must present a stability which is not affected by changes d
temperature, not affected by exposure to the air, not affected by age. It must
be so combined that it will remain just the 3amo whether used in the loggio^i

A complete list of the ingredients of Peruna would net enable any drug

these ingredients are brought together that give Peruua much of its peculiar
claims as an efficacious catarrh remedy.

Impose penalties for failure to supply
cars or to perform other services with
out regard to whether such failure Is
the result of wilful negligence. He
pointed out that the present demand
for cars is beyond the capacity of the
railways and the car builders to sup
ply and that t'he imposition- of car-
service penalties would, compel dis
crimination in favor of shipments

Imposing the penalty. "It must be
apparent,” said he, “that the inevitable
result of this will be to bring about a
competition of greed and rivalry be
tween the States to see which can im
pose the heaviest penalties and secure
the largest supply of cars and the most
prompt service, and that every penalty
imposed for failure to do the Impossible
must reduce the ability of the road to
secure more cars and other needed bet
terments. It must also be apparent
that such a policy is in direct violation
of the common law rule forbidding dis
crimination, which has been incorpor
ated In the Federal and State statutes.
It compels discrimination in favor of
transportation wholly within the State

other States and against Interstate

organizing local union is already well
under way, and also to Washington,
Montana and South Dakota In which
States he proposes to set the work in
Motion. President Barrett has receiv
ed numerous letters from these f&r
Western States as has also National
Secretary R. H. McCulloch, of Beebe,
Ark., urging them to come out there
and assist in organizing the union In
those States. Already a number of
mass meetings have been held in these
far Western States and ln many places
the farmers are ready for the organiza
tion of local unions.
Owing to the importance of the work
involved, and the long trip which Pres
ident Barrett will haev to take, it will
be impossible for him to return to
Georgia in time to attend the Sea Is

the Farmers* Union which will be held
in Valdosta on April 2 and 3. Other
Officers of the union, however, will "be
there, and the occasion will be ma-de
a memorable one.
B'efore leaving Atlanat President
Barrett stated in an interview that
more than 160,000 members have been
taken into the Farmers’ Union since
the big convention held in Atlanta on
January 22. President Barrett is con
stantly in receipt of advices from the
various State officers, and these show
that the unjon's membership has in
creased to that extent. The total num

now probably exceeds 1 200,000, Presl-
was of undoubted value in chronic
catarrhal diseases, and had stood the
test of many years' experience in the
treatment of such diseases. THERE
CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS
WHATEVER. Peruna is composed of
the most efficacious and universally ‘ — 1 u 1 1 —‘
used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has a reputa
tion of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh.
But however much virtue each ingredient of Peruna may possess, the
value of the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion in
which they are combined.
PERUNA IS NO LONGER A MYSTERIOUS WORD, used to designate an
inknown compound, hut the trade mark title oi a legitimate pharmaceutical
impound which no physician or set of ohysicians will undertake to belittle.
Peruna brings to the home the COMBINED KNOWLEDGE OP SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treatment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
.he home the scientific skill and knowledge of tho modern pharmacist; and
ist but not least, brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr
Tartman himself, in the use of catarrhal remedies, and in ths treatment of
■atarrhal diseases.
But admitting that Peruna is an excellent catarrh remedy, admitting tiiat
10 doctor could find any reasonable objection to it as a medical compound, tho
uestion will be asked by some, is the patent medicine idea a feasible one? Is
t practicable for a doctor to put up a remedy for chronic catarrh and place it
ipon the market at a price far below what the average doctor would be able
,o furnish it to the patient for ? Is this a workable theory ? Are not the people
iable to make mistakes in the use of such a medicine?
We think not We think there is no chance to make any mistake in tak-
ng Peruna for chronic catarrh.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent. Many
housand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors
ver and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It
lay he of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There

be held. I octor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF.
Dr. Hartman’s idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large Eeile,
is he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of the
trictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can be supplied direotly to the
jeopie, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it.
Complete directions for use- accompany each bottle. In addition to this,
iree literature is furnished, giving Dr. Hartman’s advice, which is worth much
nore to the patient than the verbal advice of th9 average physician.
The plan of furnishing on a large scale, directly to the people, a remedy

leople have been cured in this way.
