Karen County no Longer Bar.


Glasgow, the county seat of Bar
rem County, struck it rich in the
February Drawing of the Louisiana
State Lottery. One ticket-holder
drew fraction of the 500, 900 prize;
another drew fraction of the $780,
600 prize, and several other ticket
holders drew smaller prizes, all in
the same months drawing. 1t is
frequently said that sudden wind
falls or money drawn in lotteries
never benefit the recipients. We
know not how this old adage oper-
ates elsewhere; but we do know for
certainty that it doesn't hold good
in Robertson County. Her ticket
holders have drawn, all told, in the
neighborhOod of $4,000. One of
the fortunate winners is now a pros
porous farmer, owns in his own
right two valuable tracts of land
which have upon them first-class
improvements, both free of incum-
brances, and he is also one of the
principal local stockholders of the
Mt. Olivet Deposit Bank. Previous
to his investment of one dollar in
fractional ticket in the Louisiana
State Lottery, he was tenant
and u poor man. Another is the
owner of a stately and popular hotel
building that ranks among the best
hotels to be found in any city of the
second class; he also owns an ex-
cellent farm, and richly enjoys the
good things of this life. He like
wise was poor man previous to
holding lucky fractional ticket in
the Louisiana State Lottery. An
other beneficiary has specuIated on
the fruits of his good fortune in the
same Lottery and has added $4,000
or $4,000 to his worldly possessions
in consequence. Another holder of
a fractional ticket was enabled to
purchase small farm that supplies
him abundantly with the staff of
life in his declining years, while
still another on two fractional tick
cts drew sufficient amount to
place him above want for quite
while. This item may seem highly
colored, but every word of it is the
truth, as hundreds of people in
Robertson will freely attest.-Mt.
Oliret (Ky.) Tribune Democrat,

Says an exchange: "The Harri-

will discover the tenure of Office act
and civil service laws, and be seized
with the liveliest admiration for the
sublime beauties thereof-when the
last lone Democrat in the public
service has been fred out and the
Republican pigs are all in clover"

Every Democrat who believes in
its principles and desires the success
OF the party at the coming school
election, will go to work at once for
the success of our candidate for
County Superintendent of free

be credit to the county, and his

president should remember that it
has been 20 years since the brethren
in this state have had anything ex-

could give them, and the probabili-
ties are that they will have to wait
many years longer before they get

IL We are to trade with South
America We must take their pro-
ducts in-exchange for our own, be-
cause they will not pay cash to us
when they can trade with other
nations on equal terms. And furth-
ermOre. they havn't got the cash.
The United States government may
subsidize all the steamship lines in
existence, but will never create a
trade with South America till it
allows South American goods to
come into this country. When we
do this, which our present tariff
system now prevents, our South
American trade will come without
the aid of steamship subsidies.
In short, we can trade with South
America when we allow South
America to trade with us. Remove
the barriers that exist for thelbene
fit of trusts and monopolics and we
shall soon control 80 per cent. of
the South American trade, leaving
to Europe the 10 per cent. that is
now our share.
This subject is understood in
South America better, perhaps, than
it is here. Note the following from
a recent issue of the Rio Janeiro
Ne,6s:
off Northern manufacturers wish
to sell their goods in these South
and Central American countries
they must make up their minds to
reduce their tariffs on imported
wool, copper and other products
which these same countries pro-
duce. X X i There is something
extraordinarily sanguine in the
temperament of American mechan-
les and Legislators. They feel that
they ought to have a controlling
influence in this great South Ameri-
can trade, and they are doing an
immense amount of talking and
planning over 1t; but somehow they
never get beyond offers to sell and
objections to buy. Their idea of
trade appears to be an exchange of
manufactured goods for cash, no
matter how it may be obtained.
They are even willing to subsidize
steamers to carry out the goods if
they will not bring back anything
except cash. There is not parti-
Gle of doubt but that,American mer-
chants and manufacturers might
largely increase their trade with
the Latin American countries, if
they would only consent to trade on
equal terms. But SO long as Uncle |
Sam refuses to take what they can
produce they will very naturally
go and buy where they can sell"
There is more truth in this than
in all Mr.. Blaine has ever said on
the subject.
Mr.. Blaine and the Republican
acknowledge the nee
essity of extending our markets by
their strenuous effort to,capture this
South American trade. 1t will be
remembered, by the way, how they
snecred at the markets of the world
during the late campaign, calling
thcm Exclusions" of "theoretic free
etc.
Mr. Blaine will never create trade
with South America, or any other
nation, to amount to. much, while
the United States bar out the pro-
ducts of these nations by an exor-
bitant tariff. he may empty the
treasury by subsidizing steamship |
lines but without return, unless, to
be sure, he also furnishes the
nations with which he wishes to
trade the money necessary to pay
us for our goods in cash.-Register. |
