There is more Catarrh in this

catarrh to be a constitutional

STORY OF A SLAVE.
To be bound head and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. George
D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich.,
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: “My wife has
been so helpless for five years that
she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderful
ly improved, and able to do her
own work.” This supreme reme
dy for female diseases quickly
cures nervousness, sleeplessness,
melancholy, headache, backache,
fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a
godsend to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guar
anteed. Only 50 cents. Sold by

Some Facts and
Figures to Consider.
Written For The News-Horahl.
The Standard Oil Company was
organized in 1870 w ith one million
dollars capital. In April 1900 it
distributed a quarterly dividend
in cash of twenty-three million
dollars, which represents an annu
al profit of about ninety-two mil
lion dollars; the annual dividend
cannot possibly fall under sixty
millions. The promoter and prin
cipal owner is John D. Rockefeller,
the billionaire. The public has
come to kuow this trust magnate
as the richest of the rich. The
vast extent of his wealth is only
recently coming to light. Rocke
feller owns individually thirty-oue
milliou dollars of the Standard
Oil Company. Since Jan. 1900
Rockefeller has drawn dividends
aggregating twelve million four
hundred thousand dollars. This,
however, is only a small portion
of the amount to which Mr. Rock
efeller is entitled by reason of the
earnings of the Standard Oil Co.
The company owns only 61 per
oent. of its many subsidary com
panies; Rockefeller owns the other
49 per cent. His total income,
therefore, from all sources allied
with the Standard Oil Co. has
been since Jan. 1, 1900, twenty
four million dollars. The Compa
ny has distributed to its stock
holders dividends amounting to
two hundred and fifty million,
two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars since 1882, and this year
Rockefeller’s dividends from all
sources is estimated at seventy
five million dollars, and according
to this Mr. Rockefeller's income
represents the interest on one and
one-half billion dollars at 8 per
cent.
Here is a list of millionaires:
Croesus, sixteen million. Duke of
Westminster, seventy-five million.
Astor, one hundred and fifty mil
liou. Baron deßotchild, two hun
dred million. Wm. Rockefeller,
two hundred million. Carnegie,
three hundred million. John
Beib, diamond king, one billion.
John D. Rockefeller, two billion,
And also some annual incomes:
Queen Victoria, one million nine
hundred and twenty-five thousand.
The German Emperor, two mil
lion eight hundred and fifty-two
thousand. Emperor of Austria,
three million eight hundred and
seventy-five thousand. Andrew
Carnegie,twenty-four million eight
hundred and sixty-seven thousand.
John D. Rockefeller, seventy-five
million.
So if we are to estimate a man's
riches by his revenues, Rockefeller
is worth, all told, near two billion
dollars, and as his dividends are
reinvested and compounded,should
he live ten years longer he will be
a multi-billionaire, and what next?
Please answer. J. Gould, with
his seventy-two million, astouuded
the world. Rockefeller’s yearly
income is greater than Gould’s
lifetime accumulations. Li Hung
Chang was thought to be the rich
est man in the world, but his
wealth is only estimated at about
a half billion. So long as Rock
efeller’s monopoly is let alone his
exploiting power is equal to the
gathering of interest on two billion
dollars. A fortune of two billion
dollars! Who can comprehend it?
It is more than the total annual
imports and exports of the United
States put together. It is more
than five times the assessed valuAl

It has been taught that riches
for some means poverty for many.
The rich man's income does uot
■grow spontaeously or drop from
the sky. It is said that it is ex
torted from the people who pro
duce it. Thus it is that monstrous
riches for the few means moo
stroue poverty for the mauy. How
great now is the tribute the Amer- i
icau people pay to this man I
He retires at 10:80 and rises at
7. Every morning when he gets i
up he is $72,768 richer than when
he went to bed. i
He orders his servant to boil an
egg three minutes, and while
it is cookiug his revenue is $425,
Every time he draws his breath
he draws S4B from the people.
He sits down to breakfast, and
in the half hour spent at the table
his wealth increases $4,280.
He being a pious man, presum
ably he has family prayer. Each
time at this service the agents of
his monopoly are preying upon
the people to the extent of more
than S2OOO.
On the Sabbath he goes to
church aud sings “Eearer, My
God, to Thee,” and iu the two
hours he is $17,122 is added to his
fortune.
Rockefeller ioves the ring of the
violiu; his nightly amusement is
playing the fiddle. While thus en
gaged millions are burning his oil.
So in the evening when he takes
up his instrument he is $200,000
richer than when he took it the
night before.
To appease his conscience, he
simply resolves to endow a univer
sity. To do this he raises the
price of oil one cent a gallon,
a gallon, thereby extorting, as is
said, from the people more than
five million. Of this he bestows
oue million upon charity, and
thanks God he is not as other
men are, while he pockets the oth
er four million. Who endowed
the University with a million ?
All the people using oil did it.
Who gets the praise and honor ?

Bryan Sov.d a Panic.
Cliicaoo, Sept. B. —By a trite
little jok" •wrung with u cool but
effective dcolnmii ion, William J.
Bryun arrested a st impede of fran
tic men Bnd women in the speakers
stand at Electric Park, preventing
a panic.
The Nebraskan had just fought
his way through the crowd and
had taken his place in front of the
erators’ platform when the over
crowded floor of the small stand
creaked and began to waver. A
section of the worn floor gave way,
women shrieking in terror and
men trying to jump over the rail
ing upon the heads of the packed
throng at the rear of the stand.
“Hello," laughed Mr. Bryan
turning a smiling face upon the
scared people. “This cannot be a 1
Democratic platform. There are
no bad plaukß in that. Come,
now, stand still, won’t you? If
you stand together where you are
you will be all right. If you
stampede the thing will fall on
you.” And be laughed as if it
was an every day occurrence. His
sols-assurance had a quieting
effect upon the crowd When
the dustcleared away it was found
that a few people had been pre
cipita.ed into the chamber under
the stand but uone were seriously
injured.
Planter Does Deceive a Premium,
In an article printed in southern
papers and paid for by the com
press interest, the statement is
made that the American Cotton
Company “has paid both the plant
er aud the spinner houses” to ex
tend the use of the roundlap bale.
This reluctant admission by the
compressmen that the use of the
roundlap bale is profitable to plant
ers aud spinners is not an exact
statement of fact. The planter
does receive a premium for his oot
ton in roundlap bales, not as a bo
nus, but because his cotton in
those bales is worth more to any
buyer than in any other package,
in like manner, the spinner’s profit
from the use of roundlap bales
from the economies they
enable him to make
The farmer cares little who pays
the premium which his roundlap
bales command. What interests
him is that they bring him more
money and with his profit in his
pocket he is not deceived by the
misrepresentation of men who,
while affecting tender solioitude
for his welfare, have only their
own selfish purposes to serve.

QUESTION ANSWERED.
V
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using anything else for Indiges
tion or Billiousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they Beldam heard of
Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the ac
tion of the liver, stimulate the
I nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeliug dull Jand bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green’s
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is noth
ing serious the matter with you.

The Slaying of Austin.
Col. John R Cooper has returned
from Monroe, Walton county,
Jrhere he was engaged all last week
in a murder trial which has attract
ed widespread interest because of
the prominence of the slayer and
the slain.
The case was that of the State
vs. Seaborn Fambrough who was
charged with the murder of Charlie
Austin. The state’s counsel, Messrs
C.H. Brand, solicitor-general, and
Hal Nowell contended that the
prisoner was guilty of assassina
tion, that Fambrough shot and
killed Austin while he was trying
to escape from a negro with whom
he got into a difficulty in the
public road, from whom he had
fled into Fambrough's house.
The prisoner contended, through
his cousel, Messrs. John R. Cooper
of Macou, Oscar Brown ofLawrence
ville and Arnold & Arnold of Mon
roe, Ga., that he was uot guilty
of any offence under the law of the
land; that he was justifiable iu
taking the life of Austin; that he
slew the deceased iu defense of his
wife and home. The evidence for
the prisoner showed that Austin
went to Fambrough’s house, two
and a half miles from Monroe, on
Sunday afternoon and called for
him, and Fambrough’s wife met
him at the door and told Austin
that he could not see her husband
as he was lying down taking a nap.
Austin persisted and finally cursed
Mrs, Fambrough, whereupon the
husband, who heard the cursing,
shot aud killed Austin.
Great interest was taken in the
trial, as the parties were well
known. The jury remained out
all night long aud made a verdict
of guilty of voluntary manslaugh
ter, and Judge Russel sentenced
the prisoner to fifteen years in the
penitentiary, stating publicly that
the defendant had been ably defen
ded, and that he might thank the
jury for being so kind to him, that
hethought he was guilty of murder,
and hence the heavy sentence.
Mr. John R. Cooper counsel for
the prisoner,at once gave notice of
an appeal for a new trial. So the
case will go to the Supreme court.

DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want
something that will relieve and
cure the more severe and duuger
oub results ot throat and lung
troubles. What shall you do? Go
to a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible. If not
possible for you, then in either
case take the only remedy that
has been introduced in all civilized
countries with success in severe
throat and lung troubles, “Bos
ohee’s German Syrup.” It not
only heals and stimulates the tis
sues to destroy the germ disease,
but allays iufiamation, causes easy
expectoration, gives a good night’s
rest, and cures the patient. Try
one bottle. Recommended many
years by all druggists in the world.

Prayer as a Campaignliever-
So far as we know, prayer as a
lever in a political campaign is
something new in American
politics, aud its results will be
watched with interest. It is stated
that certain ladies of the W. C. T.U
are bent on trying the experiment
and are determined to unseat Mc-
Kinley at the end of his present
term if it be possible to do so by
this novel method. What they
proably do not take into proper
account is that for every prayer
that goes up for Bryan another
will go up for McKiuly, and that
the clashing invocations, like con
trary air current, may meet and
destroy each other before they
reach their destination.
Be this as it may,the administra
tiou certainly shows remarkable
nerve in allowing Adjutant-Gen-
VOL. VII. NO 47
eral Corbin to follow this alarming
announcement with a published
defense of the canteen system
which is so unpopular with the
ladies of the W. C. T. U. General
Cobin boldly declares that there is
very little drinking of intoxicants
or malt liquors id the federal
army; that desertions and offenses
resulting from druukenuess have
materially ' decreased among the
eulis'ed men since the introduc
tion of the canteen; that the army
commanders in favor of it as a
. temperanco measure aro iu an
overwhelming majority, and that
the health and spirits of the men
are greatly improved through the
agencies put in operation by the
post exchanges. Indeed, General
Corbin goes so fur as to assert that
our soldiers constitute at this time
as oompared with the army thirty
years ago. or with any community
anvwhere in civil life, a model
temperance society—“a society,”
he adds, ’’whose precepts no less
than its example might be follow
ed by all people in safety and
sobriety.” ;
These are daring words because
they controvert the well kuow
assertion that wherever the dan
gerous fluid is openly obtainable
(secretly it is get-at-able every
where and particularly in the
prohibitition state of Maine) the
demon of intemperance adds daily
to the lißt of his victims. There
can be no doubt that this defiance
on the part of the administraton
will largely increase the number
of hostile prayers, and will pro
bably do the further damage of
leading many persons to suspect
that the stiff-necked authorities at
Washington are so orthodox as
to doubt the efficacy of this new
method of campaigning. Though
the defense of the canteen system
is undeniably forcible, it may be
doubted if its publication at this
juncture is as timely and politic
utterance from an administration
source. —Macou Telegraph.
THE PRICE or COTTON.
The reports received by the
Agricultural Departmeut.at Wash
ington, and by the various state
Commissioners of Agriculture, all
go to show that the present cotton
crop will not exceed 10,000,000 of
bales, and many well informed
persons make an estimate of fully
one million less.
The old crop has about been
consumed, and the necessities of
the manufacturers will force them
into the market aB soou as the
season is fully opened, as they
must promptly replenish their
stocks or shut down, of which
there is no probability.
While the crop is short in this
section, we are confident |hat the
farmers will receive more money
from the proceeds of it than they
did from that of 1899.
If the yield for this year has
not been undupstimated, cotton
should sell fo| about teu oents in
this market, and we have confi
dence that it will. But whether it
is best to,hold it, or sell as ginned,
we are not in a position to give
advice that is worth anything, and
every man must act on his own
judgement in that matter. It
may be that the staple will sell
higher at the opening of the season
than later on, as the lateness of
the fall has much to do with the
yield, and it is possible that high
er prices may be reached in De
cember, or January.
As to when is the best time to
sell cotton is a question one man
is as apt to give a correot opinion
as another, as it is principally
guess work anyway.
