As to “Dependence.”
New York World.
There is now a great deal of talk
to the effect that a man who works
for a salary is more dependent
than a man who has his own bus
iness.
If there is one fact that is clear
ly established in ; this world that
fact is the beneficent complete
interdependence of all men. Ti
midity or some other similar de
fect of character may make any
man, whatever his source of in
come, ieel like a dependent in the
unpleasant sense of. that word.
Idleness or incapacity or some
such defect may make a man act
ually a dependent, a recipient of
bounty which he has good cause
to fear may be withdrawn. But
the man of courage, the man of
energy, capacity, and application,
is everywhere his own master.
Whether he keeps a shop or works
fora shopkeeper, whether he di
rects or is dircted by a corpora
tion, he is nceessarily a free man.
He gives a valuable service in ex
change for its worth.
The only power that can destroy
manhood by creating industrial
slavery is monopoly which sub
stitutes favoritism for excellence
and force for persuasion. And
that is why monopoly should be
fought assiduously by all who
cherish freedom and manhood.

Exports from the United States
during the past fiscal year in
creased to every section of the
globe. Next to European exports,
the largest increase was in ship
ment to Asia and Oceanica; ' the
third largest increase was in ex
ports to other parts of North
America.

The Buskin Colony.
The Buskin commonwealth is
exhibiting a very fine quality of
brooms made at their factory, sev
en mile's from Waycross. Thpioe
brooms are made from straw grown
by these people on their colony
farm, and the farmers living near
by. Last year they gave seed to a
number of farmers who experi
mented with broom corn puite
successfully this year. The Bus
kin people buy all the farmers
raise at the highest market price.
Mr. Carnegie, of the Rnskin Col
ony, says Ware county land will
produce about half a ton of broom
com per acre,, which is worth
from 5 to 8 cents per pound. This,
in addition to the seed, which is
more valuable than any crop of
Indian corn that can be grown.
He says broom factories can be es
tablished so cheap thatthey should
be in operation all over the coun
try. —Waycross Correspondent

A Fiendish Attack.
An attack was lately made on
C. F. Collier of Cherokee, Iowa,

through his kidneys. His back
got so lame he could not stoop
without great pain, nor sit in a
chair except propped by cushions.
No remedy helped hini until he
tried Electric Bitters whieh effect
ed such a wonderful change that
he writes he feels like a new man.
This marvelous medicine cures
backache and kidney trouble, pu
rifies the blood and builds up your
health. Only 50/ at Holtzclaw’s

A Missouri editor makes this
apology: “We expected to have a
death and marriage to' publish

Which One Was It? ^
Brom the Griffin News.
The following incident is rela
ted on the two widower candidates
recently running for the state
senate in this county. How true
it is, and if true, which position
each occupied, we leave for our
readers to decide.
Both gentlemen happened to be
electioneering on the same road a
short distance apart. The hind
most one called at a certain house
when a bright-eyed little girl came
to the door. “Sissy,” he asked,
“will you please bring me a drink
of water?” which she quickly did.
Then he gave her candy and said:
“Did the man ahead of me give
you candy?” “Yes sir.” Then
he gave her a nickle and said:
“Did he give you money?” “Yes
sir, he gave me ten cents.” Then
picking her up, he kissed her and
said; “Did he kiss you?” “Yes
sir, and he'kissed ma too!”
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have -a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mneons surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
