A CASE IN POINT.

The Chattanooga Times gives this as @ sample of the way the loan sharks do their work. We suspect that similar instances might be found nearer home, but we will merely give The Times's example:
 We have In mind an incident con- nected with an installment purchase that Illustrates the point exceedingly well. An ignorant negro bought a table from one of the humane" in- stallment houses-worth about $1.50- for which he agreed to pay $500 in weekly installments. He paid prompt ly until he had paid $S.75. when, hay ing to buy medicine and having no money, he sold the table. The install ment man bounced upon him through his friend the fee-grabbing constable, and between the two the negro had to mortgage one-half of his weekly wages in order to pay the $l26 and the cost" of the suit- He paid three prices for the table and then con tibuted to the support of the intquitous system through which the credit hold up is enabled to carry on his nefarious business. This is only one of many such instances constantly occurring. Honest, self-respecting business men owe 1t to themselves and to the State to assist in promoting the crusade to put these money sharks" and de- moralizing credit" houses out of busi- ness through legislative enactment.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-12-21

white people are denied the suffrage is one of the strong reasons why our sec- ton objects to such d Dill.
 Another strong and well-grounded complaint we have is that the measure is strictly a political one. By one of the bills proposed the South would lose nineteen members, and 1t Is, ex- would lose one member of Congress by the cutting down process; they would all be Democrats, and thus further strengthen the Republicans. What is still more unjust and objectionable is the fact that this reduction would take nineteen Democratic votes from the electoral college, for every one of the States that would be lose nineteen members. and is 1t exceedingly doubt full if the Republicans would lose one member of Congress by the cutting down process; they would all be Demo- crats, and thus further strengthen the Republicans. What Is still more un- just and objectionable is the fact that this reduction would take nineteen Democratic votes from the electoral college, for every one of the States that would be affected will go Democratic if that bill becomes law, and thus the loss of these nineteen electoral votes will, as the Republicans fondly hope, make assurance doubly sure" for them in 190S.. This. is our judgment, is the propelling power behind all these movements. They hope by the process of emasculation to so weaken the Democratic States that Republican will be sure of election to the Presi- dency four years hence. It is shrewd scheme-and a devilish one.

A CIVIL WAR CAPTAIN.
Talks to the Point.

Until about two years ago had had piles for about thirty years. at times bleeding and very painful. l got nifty cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure at the drug store and used 1t and was entire- ly cured: got another box in case needed it. and as the piles did not re- turn in six months I gave the remedy to a friend, of mine who wanted the doctor to operate to cure him. My friend said he would use the pyra- mids" but he knew they would do him no good, but they cured him of piles of twenty-five years standing. I am since using Pyramid Pie Cure. I was Can't In in the Civil War" James Adams, soldiers Home, Cal.
 The majority of people labor under the impression that an opera ton Is necessary in severe cases of piles, or hemorrhoids. and are very skeptical regarding the remedial virtues of any medicinal compound. Testimony like the above should certainly have a ten- dency to dispel this impression, all though 1t Is odd that such a fallacy should prevail and still more odd that so many people should think an opera ton effects . permanent cure. whereas the contrary Is more often the case.
 We advise all sufferers from this painful complaint to buy a hfty~cent package of Pyramid Pile Cure at any drug store and try 1t tonight.
 Those interested can not be too strongly urged to write Pyramid Drug Co, Marshall. Mich, for their little book rescribing the causes and cure of Piles, as 1t contains valuable informa- ton. and is sent free toT the askinG.

Crumpaclxer Should Read and Heed.

Indianapolis Star.
 The pigeon -holing of the Morrill, and Platt bills, providing for the reduction of Southern representation in Congress is commendabie. We have had surs felt of this class of projected 1egislav tion, and a great mass of 1t has gone where the clinging woodbine twineth. It is gratifying to make a note of the fact for 1t indicates that there is con- siderable good sense even in Congress.
 The major portion of the class Of bills is inspired by. the false theory that two wrongs will make one right. The advocates of these bills have all along insisted that, because certain tions upon the voting population Con- gress would be justified in cutting down the number of members of Con- gross from the South. It is probably true that the States referred to have been guilty of wrongful acts, but that Legislature in stopping to the same character of legislation.
 If the South be left alone, 1t will un- questionably right itself, adjust its af- fairs, and measure up, State by State. with other members of the Union. Im- merce Is increasing largely, its crops. peculiar to the section, are so large that they are difficult of garnering. and Its future seems bright beyond comparison. New people, new blood and new methods will assimilate with the people. blood and methods that have existed down there for a hum dred years, and, naturally. conditions will experience marked change. Con- gress can really perform a great ser- all sectional legislation, especially if 1t be based on a desire to get evon. Such methods are quite too petty for statesemn.

DECEMBER 21, 1904.
A FOOL LAW PROPOSED.

Some people appear to think that all wrongs and evils can be corrected by law; hence we have laws enacted or or wrong thing done by human beings. Here, for example, is an Indiana man who wants a law passed ito prohibit the marrying of fools" If he should succeed in getting such a law passed we are wondering how it is to be car ried out Who is to determine whether the contracting parties are fools or not :? For that matter, some people only dis cover 1t after they are married, and then it would be too late to enforce the law, we should think.
 Then, again, if two young persons really and truly love each other, and under this law 1t is decided that one of them is a fool. would 1t be right to punish both of them by prohibiting the marriage? That would be punish- ing an innocent person for the crime or misfortune of the other. And after they are married if one of them discovers 1t, would the law annui the marriage and again punish the inno- cent? The truth is that there are some people in this world who hold that any one is a fool to get married. but we presume this legislator would not go quite so far as that. And look ing at the matter from an impartial point of view we should say that this fellows bill would doom him to single life

Marriages and Divorces.

'The approach of the holidays is bringing its usual increase in the num- Der of marriage licenses issued to me- groes." said clerk in the Probate Court yesterday.
 "Christmas is the favored season with negroes for joining in matrimony, and have observed that about the middle of November a steady demand for licenses begins. especially with pegroes from the rural districts. During this month we have issued from six to eight day. One day we issued as many as thirty six licenses to negro couples. Today we have issued twenty licenses to mem bers of the negro race"
 With this information, the newspaper man walked to the other end of the courthouse, the end at which petitions for divorce are filed.
 "Divorces? asked the deputy clerk of the equity court. why. there Is never any cessation Of the applications for divorce filed here by negroes. Our docket is always crowded. The Pro- bate Court ties them up and we unite them"
 As the reporter emerged from the equity court room he met an aged ne- gro.
 "Fse all done tuck up," muttered the old man. Can't stan Mandy no more; Boss. Is this whar yer gifts de divorces?

THEY ARE AFRAID OF IT.

The New Bedford Standard is sound in the Republican faith. but that fact does not blind 1t to what is going on. We find this in a recent issue:
 Senator Platt's bill. which Is calculat- ed, on its face, to reduce the Southern representation in Congress. may do for men can mail to their constituents; but that is about as far as 1t will get at this season or the next. The topic Is loaded with dynamite, and most of the now in no mood to meddle with high explosives of that character.
 We don't know that Democrats are in danger of being hoisted into the upper atmosphere by speaking about the Platt measure. but we can under stand that Republicans may well feel very timid about it. It is a live wire and some of the Northern Republicans have no insulating gloves to wear while they handle the subject. It is as likely to burn some of them as 1t is to scorch us down here. They are wise in their day and generation if they keep their hands of it, for The Stand ard is correct when 1t declares that the subject is loaded with dynamite.
 So far as actual injury to the South as a result of cutting down our repre- sentation Is concerned we needn't wor- ny much. If the cutting down were made to apply to all the States there would be no cause of complaint, for Alabama, for example, would not then lose more in proportion than other States and one or two Representatives less would not affect our standing as a State. It is the partiality and un- fairness of such measures that we ob- feet to. To cut down a few Southern States because universal suffrage is not accorded to the colored race and pass over some of the Northern States where

AcGOmmOOathODs
 Highland Home, Dec. 20, 1904. Editor The Advertiser:
 desire to correct a report in your paper of 18th inst, relative to the fire at Highland Home. Your reporter does the school a grievous injustice when he says that all the boarding de- partment of the school was burned. It is true the community suffered a great but the school need not be hurt be- cause of the fire. All the boarding pupils at Prof. Jordan's were quickly dispatched to the homes Of the other teachers and to other boarding houses in our town. The school is moving along without a hitch and we hope that our friends will not become alarmed and think that we can not take as good care of their children as before. It is true we have suffered great loss in the past nine months. Our college building was destroyed by fire but the friends of the institution have erected a modern building at g. cost of about $S,000 in its stead and we are better prepared than ever to accommodate our patronage. Your mote location of the school you are unable to obtain full report We are still in the same place, doing business. We have been here twenty-three years. only thirty miles south of Montgom- cry, two miles from La Pine. station on the Atlantic Coast Line, and can be reached either by telephone or tele- graph. Please do us the justice to correct this misstatement as 1t serves to do us harm. Yours very truly.

 Whatever may be the case as to the judge, it appears that the city and County officials. the grand jurors and same weakness of backbone. The facts point to a degenerate public opin . ion in that city. If the Springfeld people know how to start revival or public morality among them they had better put the right agencies to work at once.

KILLINGS IN MISSISSIPPI.
The Years Record Not Good One,

Jackson Special.
 Governor Vardaman's statistics col lected through the sheriffs of the State showing that Mississippi had 297 kill ings between the list of January and the 18th of November, sixty-seven of the number being by white men with white men as victims, have attracted much attention. The list Is regarded as approximately correct although three counties did not send in reports, and doubtless some of the sheriffs, es- peciany those in the delta counties, did not cdunt very carefully, for negro killingNin that section Is so common as to attract little attention, and often the sheriffs do not hear of such occur rences until 1t is called to their atten- tion by the press.
 The Governors list is subject to a revision. however. for killings have been very frequent since the 18th of November. and in the list for the past month no less than a dozen white men have been killed by members of their own race. Within the past week there have been six killings of this sort, the victims and their slayers being quite prominent.
