Danger. Of the Grip.

The greatest danger from La
Grippe is of its resulting in pneu-
monia. II reasonable care is used,
however, and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens oi
thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe we have YET
to learn of single case having re-
suited in pneumonia which shows
conclusively that this remedy is a
certain preventive OF that danger
Gus disease. 1t will cure la grippe
in less time than any other treat
ment. 1t is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale at the Palace drug

Range cattle in Prowers county
are reported to be suffering from
lack OF water The water holes
are all frozen over and the ice is
too thick for the cattle to break.
The snow on the range also inter
feres with the cattle procuring
feed, and great losses are antici-
pated.
A stockman near Dodge City is
reported to have found eighty
head OF cattle dead in his sheds on
Sunday morning. The cattle were
supposed to be we'll housed and
protected, under ordinary circum-
stances, but they were unable TO
withstand the bitterly cold weather
of that morning.
1t is reported that Lamar was
invaded by thousands OF range
cattle on Sunday, who were drift
ing about in scarce OF warm spot.
! Their sutfcrings must have been
intense on account OF the bitterly
cold weather, and the losses will
number among the thousands.
Church services had TO be dispensed
with on account OF the invasion as
it was hardly safe to venture out.
l. l.. Gauger, chairman OF the
committee 10 complete the Wetzel
contract, will call meeting OF the
representatives sf the various as
sociations as soon as they have
ratified the contract. AT that
meeting the apportionment of the
700 cars will be made among the
various associations. That being
done it will be the duty OF each
association to see to it that its
membership does not exceed its
proportionate acreage. Growers
will have as much money and much
more satisfaction if they don't go
wild on extensive acreage.

THE AWAKENING OF THE SOUTH.

q 7 the recent meeting of the Georgia Agricul-
| \ tura Society the Hon. D. A. Tompkins made
the principal address, the one which gave the
tone to the whole meeting and shaped the tenor of the
resolutions adopted full report has been published
in the Atlanta Constitution, and it merits all the
space given for it is full of that sort OF eloquence
which impels not only to action, but to right action
Mr. Tompkns is not one OF the Southerners who
despairs OF his country He does not believe the
problems OF the South incapable OF solution He
is OF the opinion that the strife between white and
black is largely due the lack OF sufficient employ
ment The Georgia farmer, he says, works on an
average not more than days in the year, that
being the amount OF labor required to raise cotton
crop. He would have the farmers cooperate with
one another to build factories for the employment OF
the idle whites and blacks who have nothing to do
but to quarrel with one another To provide a mar
ke for the cotton goods thus produced he favors lib
era subsidies for American shipping. On that point
he said: 1--WE must develop and maintain our ship
ping We must have merchant marine and navy
to protect it. We have reached that point in in
dustral development when, if we extend our manu-
factures further we must have more markets. You
have built railroads by subsidies There is hardly a
town. county or State that has not contributed in
bonds or in money in lands, the of streets,
to the construction of or more railroads. Al
most every railroad in the United States has had
more or less bounty money to aid in its construction
Towns vie with each other to-day in offering bounties
to obtain lines OF roads, and everybody feels that
ii pays to do so. Yet there is an ncomprehensible
prejudice against giving fair mail contract to
new line OF vessels to foreign country. England
and Germany are willing enough to send their sub
Sldzed ships here after 5-cent cotton They will
