The Atlanta Journal advises a general
boycott Of Western hogs lard by the
people Of the Southern States il the com
pound lard bill becomes a law. This is
practical and good advice. The bill is
intended sorely to restrict the sale Of tho
Southern product, in order 10 increase
the sale OF lis rival product, and the
Southern people should not lend their aid
TO such partisan discrimination against
an important Southern industry. Cot
ton seed oil is cleaner and cheaper and
more wholesome than hogs lard and
can be used Tor every purpose in the
kitchen Tor which the latter is used, be-
sides being fully equal to olive oil Tor ia.
bic purposes. When the tax is imposed
on the oil to make a large market for
lard, every Southern housckeeper. and
especially every Southern farmer, should
refuse to buy lard at any price, and ii
would be good policy for them 10 use
the oil only. whether it Shall be taxed OF
not.

The scene is tho committee room of tho

ncnmcycr, Of Pittsburg. IIo states Ills
views to the committee Oh ways and

the United States manufacture their
own timed plate. The cost of nianufact.
uring timed plate in this country, nc
cording to Mr.. Crolcnineycr, would he
$3.50 per box of 1l2 pounds. IN England
the same quantity could be delivered free
on board ship ut Liverpool at 1926. Mr..
Croncnmcyer modcstly stated that he
wanted only enough, protection to equal

tween the two countries. "If the timed
plate industry" concluded Mr.. Crolcn-
meyer, could be built up in this
country, it would supporta number Of
people nearly equal 10 the population of
New York city"
Accepting Mr.. Croncnmeycr's figures
as correct, tho following facts are also
pertinent to Tho matter. Nearly half
the cost Of timed plato il for sheet steel
which makes up % per cent. of finished
timed plate. At no time has the cost of

weight been less than four cents in this
country. This amount is for the raw

The duty is one cent a pound. AS each
sheet weighs IL pound, the cost Of q sheet
of timed plato landed in this country is,
therefore, four cents. But FIR. Croncn-
meyer proposes to manufacture timed
plate in this country with Il protective
tariff Of two cents Il pound. Therefore,
for one cent Il pound lie proposes to pay
tho cost Of tin, snlphuric acid, palm oil
and wages; or, in other words, he pro.
poses to 10 the whole process Of Timing

do il at present.
Mr. Cronennicycr's next point is even

%ploymcnt to Il number 81 ,iolle iicariy

what will it cost to employ n population

that rate of wages, and how many single

VERIEST NONSENSE.

The talk about tho lack or want Of
conservatism in tho Farmers move
mcnt is all bosh. Nothing but con
scrvatism has characterized the move
mcnt so far, while tho lack Of it is
plainly G Q IN the spite and venom
Of the opposition. The talk Of the
coming together Of the conservative
element Of the two factions to prevent
a split is the vcricst nonsense. The
friends of Mr.. Tillmnn arc in dead
earnest, and if there is to be Il split,
upon the opposition must rest tho
blame and odium. The Tillmanitcs
eau never disrupt the party when
they uro already in The majority.
The split, if any, will.comc from the
minority.
Tillman and his friends have gone
on public record that hey will abide
the action Of the August Convention,
and it's unmanly and unjust 10 charge
them with duplicity. They are the
peers Of anybody i'll honesty and truth
l%ulness. Since nearly all tho farmers
in this county are for Tillman, We arc
constrained to believe the opposition
rests among II few Of other classes in
the hopeless minority. Such classes
have hitherto expressed great and
abiding confidence in The good sense
and conservatism Of the farmers"
Why, now, when they are nearly all
one way distrust them ? Friends, the
way to prevent splits and secure har-
mony Is for those in the minority to
join in tho procession and 60 with the
majority, unless they would admit The
truth Of the rule or rum policy.

A Genuine Hoodoo Cure.

IF there was any one in Macon who
had no faith in Hoodoos and charms a
few weeks ago, that person was Chief
Kenan. But at last all unbelievers are
brought around, and it appears this is
the case with the doughty chief. Some
days ago he was suffering considerable
with neuralgia. After trying every rem
edy under the sun, he at last came upon
a friend who had receipt, which he was
not caring particularly to reveal to the
chief, but, seeing the official in deep
trouble, he finally consented to apply the
remedy. Securing q spool of black silk
thread, he cut off several bits. One he
tied around the neck of the chief, another
around his waist, another down the back
connecting the one from the neck with
that around the waist, and fourth down
his breast, connecting IN the same way
the two hands This completed the out
fit. When the operation was finished,
the chief, with an incredulous smile,
asked what came next ''Oh, you viii
talk different in few minutes, p" replied
the friend, with shake Of the head. In
q minute the official felt strange SEN
sation in his face, and within five minutes
all pain had left him. To say that he
was amazed would be putting it mildly.
He has already given the cure TO dozen
of sufferers, and now be Is st work solv-
ing the problem of how he was cured
AS vet he has found no one who can give
the cause for it.-Macon Ga Telegraph

Ewes of a Severed Head Open.

A Negannee special to The Dssroit Free
Press says; A brakeman named Thomas
Higgins slipped between two freight cars
on a moving train near Maple Ridge
yesterday morning. The signal to stop
was given by another brakeman who saw
the fall and the train stopped and backed
up to where Higgins lay. Five cars had
passed over his body, which was fright
fully mangled The head was completely
severed from the trunk and lay several
feet from the track Fireman Byo picked
up the head and was horror stricken TO
see the eyelids close and again open, then
partly close again. This was seen by En-
gineer William Whitney and the brake
man, and all three were badly frightened.
This sign of consciousness was given
several minutes after the head was sew
cred from the body.

A Man with a Charmed Lie.

Lawrence Long, a young man who resides
at Jacksonville, Ind, has had at least three
escapes from death of most remarkable ma
ture When q lad he fell off the Louisville
bridge, and despite the terrific tumble did
not receive a scratch or bruise, his only dam
age being a thorough wetting. When II
years old Long married the daughter of a
neighoor secretly. On hearing the news, the
girls father loaded a shot gun and started
out to XII his son-in-law. They met and the
old man enptied botn barrels at the boy. but
failed to hit him Longs latest adventure
occurred at Louisville on the night of the re-
cent tornado. He was in the III fated Falls
City hall when it was struck by the whirI-
wind, and went down with the wreck. He
promptly cTawled out of the ruins and found
that the only injury be had sustained was a
small scratch on ono ear.

The Moulin Rouge"

new place of entertainment for Pari-
slams, called the Moulin Rouge" has
been C0ened at Montmartre, and it is
needless to say that the variety shows"
which are there exhibited nocturnally
would have short shrift at the hands of
the gentlemen who grant Emusic and
dancing licenses" in London. The artistes
who perform have borrowed largely
from the Spanish and Egyptian dancers
of the exhibition, and the ''Red Wind
MILL" on the whole, bids fair to be a
favorite resort during the winter. The
building, by the way, is the most origi-
nal of the constructions which have
graced the Bohemian or artistic part of
Montmartre for many day.
Over the entrance is a real windmill,
while round this is a corridor with i'm
mense Gothic windows, which gives the
place a semi-cathedral look. In the CEN
ter of all is a garden, which at night
glimmers with Chinese lanterns. The
name adopted by the proprietors of the
new trysting place of noceurs is histor-
ical, for there was of old a famous
Moulin Rouge" IN the champs Elysees,
at the corner of the Avenue d'Antin and
the Rue Jean Goujon. Under the en-
pire the place was a restaurant which
eclipsed those of Laurent and Ledoyen-
then in their infancy-and was the sum-
mer evening rendezvous of host of
political, literary, artistic and fashion
able celebrities. The Moulin Rouge"
of Montmartre cannot boast of many Sc
lect frequenters, but it will be patFonized
promiscuously, and will serve to en-
tighten lugubrious part of Paris which
borders on necropolis.-London Stand
