for Higher Prices.
Dublin. Ca, Dec. 9.-The four banks
of Dublin, the First National, the Dub
lin, Laurens and Citizens. have come
to the aid of the farmers of Laurens
county. and are letting them have all
of the money they need so as to enable
them to hold their cotton for better
price and not sell at the present price.
There are now being held by the
farmers of the county in the ware
houses of the city about 5000 bales Of
cotton, and it is estimated that there
are 5000 or 1000 bales additional being
held on the farms. On this cotton
there is a considerable loss, but the
banks will carry the cotton for the
farmers and enable thine to recoup
their losses to a great extent, If the
price of cotton advances, as many
think it Will.
The banks of Dublin have always
pursued a very liberal course towards
the farmers of the country.

Joseph W. Folks Treatment,

The nomination Of Joseph w. Folk
Friday by the democrats of Missouri
as their candidate for governor, was a
fitting tribute to man who had per-
formed great services to the state and
reflected much honor on it. Now it is
for the democrats and, indeed, the
honest people Of Missouri to see to it
that he is elected by tremendous ma
jority. In his speech accepting the
nomination Mr.. Folk declared relent-
less war on the boodlers. He spoke of
the work that he had done to purify
conditions in ST. Louis, and pledged
himself to the continuance of that
work if he should be eleted Governor.
He said:
"There is work to be done in this
state in moral, material, and intel
lectual advancement which you have
commissioned me to do. The COM
mission is sacred one, and shall OBJ
ser le it as such. Here in your pres
ence, and in the presence of this great
multitude, l consecrate myself to the
work you have assigned to me, and
with your help and as long as God
gives me life and strength to do it, I
will combat the things that dIshOnor
and Cypress.
No one doubts that he will be as
good as his word. No more encourag-
ing thing has happened In American
politics for years than the rapid adj
vancement Of this young man to place
and power. He is worthy Of all the
honor that he has received. He will
measure up to every responsibility
that comes to him. But the encourag-
ing thing is that the people of Mis-
souri, have appreciated his work and
his character, and that they nominat-
ed him over the opposition of the foul
gang that has disgraced their state.
and with the knowledge that he would,
If elected, drive that gang out of bust
ness. For this proves conclusively
that the people know man when
they see him. They recognize and are
properly submissive to true leadership.

WHEN ARBITRATION FAILS
There are Times When Such Action Be.
comes Impossible.

This is an age of arbitration, both
in national and in private affairs, and
it is well that it is SO, for in the ages
past there has been too little arbitra-
tion of differences, but it should never
be forgotten that there are differences
that cannot and should not be arbi.
trated, and that universal arbitration
would work as much Injustice. loss,
and suffering as the universal rejec-
tion of arbitration would, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
This has never been questioned in
national affairs. If Germany should
invite the United States to arbitrate
the Monroe doctrine, or the protective
tariff, or the title to the Philippines,
the proposition would not be enter
tanned. The reason would be both
that these interests were of priceless
value and that these rights were OBJ
vl0uS without arbitration.
The same reasoning holds good in
private affairs. No man would con-
sent to arbitrate whether he was
criminal or whether his family was
diSreputable. No man who owned a
house and lot and had the title deeds
would consent to arbitrate the title.
IN like manner no employer of labor
can be expected to arbitrate all OF the
unreasonable demands that may be
made on him concerning wages and
whom he shall or shall not employ.
The owners of a large establish
ment know exactly what wages they
can afford to pay their employees and
yet make fair profit on their invest
mentS, and they alone know it. When
they have irrational demands made on
them for increased pay or shorter
hours or a closed shop, which If
granted would almost lead to a COM
promise to be followed periodically by
other arbitrations and compromises,
ending in. bankruptcy, they cannot be
expected to arbitrate.
Arbitration is just and reasonable
method of settling some disputes, but
it takes two to set it on foot. and the
neutral newspaper idea that it shall
be resorted to on compulsion in all
cases is preposterous.

SOME PLAIN FACTS
The Republican Record in the Matter
of Trusts.
New York World, Dem.)

t~NCW 1OIh WOTlu, D6m.D
1. The antitrust law was framed
by Republican, was passed by Re-
publican house and a Republican SEN
ate, was signed by Republican presi-
dent.
2. The law remained a dead letter
on the statute books during the entire
second term of Grover Cleveland, a
Democratic president. Through those
four years of Democratic administra-
ton all appeals and all efforts of the
met with sneers, jeers and open con-
tempt from Democratic attorney gen.
eral, Richard Olney, who pretended
that the law was unconstitutional, and
who would do nothing toward prose-
cutting violators of 1t.
8. The first effort to enforce the law
was made by Theodore Roosevelt, a
Republican president. The first at
torney general to vigorously prosecute
offenders and to test the law was a
Republican attorney general, Philan-
der c. Knox.
4. The decision of the supreme court
of the United States, given as finality
from which there is no appeal, uphold
ing the law as perfectly constitution
al and absolutely impregnable in every
respect, as the World for twelve years
constantly insisted, was due to five
judges, every one of whom is a Repub-
lican.
5. The dissenting minority Of the
court included every Democratic Judge
of that tribunal, to-wit: Chief Justice
Fuller of Illinois, Mr.. Justice White
of Louisiana, and Mr.. Justice Peck
ham of New York. All these distin-
guished Democrats not only voted
against the constitutionality of the
law, but denounced it as a danger to
the republic.
g. Under these circumstances IL
does not seem probable that the Dem
ocrats can make great capital in seek
ing to monopolize the antitrust issue
and charging the Republican party
with the crime Of being owned body
and soul by the trusts
1t Ia as well to record some plain
truths, however unpleasant or sur
prfsing.

There is more catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together. and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it To-
cal disease and prescribed local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be con-
stitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
