THURSDAY, j.. SEPTEMBER 30, 1904.

THERE is a feeling growing that
the conditions of the times demand
lower prices, not only in the mar
kets but in the prices paid to labor.
This has been largely disbelieved,
but as the stringency still continN
ues it is evident to sensible, thinks
ing men that reductions must be
made to meet the times AS the
prices of labor go down the prices
on articles produced by that labor
will go down too, and the result
will be about the same. 1t is pse-
less, however, to expect prices to go
down first, for that would be an
exception tC the general run OF
things. 1t is hard dose to swal
low, to accept lower prices on labor
or material wealth, but it now
looks as If the dose must be taken
if relief would be obtained, and the
laboring man as well as his en-
ployer is getting actively alive to
this fact. This is not an argument
for the abolition of the trades un-
ion, for the unions should be as
fully acquainted with the proper
time to lower prices as when to
raise them. The whole secret is
that we as a nation have been liv-
ing too fast. We have been put
ting too many airs, and this is the
natural slow-up to our ambitions
After a rest to cool off the hot box
hindering our progress we will
speed along as usual.

TENNESSEE sorghum is now cuts
ting a considerable figure in the
markets, which it hitherto has not
done. Farmers are raising the cane
more extensively, and are finding
ready markets for the syrup when
offered to che right parties and of
good quality, 1t is being shipped
east to be used in making glucose
and it is claimed that one barrel of
Tennessee sorghum will make four
barrels of glucose, or twice as much
as that raised elsewhere. Farmers
should take advantage of an
opening market by growing more
cane which seems an extremely
profitable crop.

THE frequent occurrence of rail-
road wrecks lately is startling, and
the number of unfortunates killed
or manned in them is appalling.
There must a laxness of manage
ment or lack of system to account
for this, and often times the overN
worked condition of the employees
is held accountable. At any rate
the cause of every accident should
be thoroughly investigated. and a
remedy applied that will help in
averting similar catastrophes. HUI

THRILLING EXPERIENCE
WITH A HIGH GEARED MACHINE
Tried High Speed Gearing on His Young Bullet
and Ii Ran AWaV

Special Bailff Charlie" Westcott I'M
INTENTIONAL broke the road record for
automobiles on the Thunderbolt road a
few days ago, at least he believes he
did-and he now declares that for the
present he is done with high speed ma
chimes, such as he converted his young
Bullet into when he changed the gear
ing from a nine-tooth sprocket to a
nineteen.
The daring chauffeur who, during his
leisure moments finds much pleasure in
speeding along the roads around Sa-
vannah, is the proud possessor of a
little machine which is as err
ratio as the famous 1899" but when the
big racers came South and whizzed by
him on the road he liked not the gibes
of the other Court House attaches. They
said such unkind things about his little
auto. "She was too young to run
fast Needed a little more steam,"
ETC., but the nervy owner knew what
was needed, and he wrote to the fac
tory for the higher gearing attachment
they had, and he made ready for a
brush with some of the big machines
on the road.
A difference of three teeth in his
sprocket, he calculated, would double
the speed of his little machine. He
decided that the best thing to do was
to triple the number and see just how
fast he could make it.
For days there was a conspicuous
absence of the little machine which
usually stood at the side door of the
Court House, and the attaches won

would prohibit over time of any kind,
