The Veterans aud Lynchiug.

Barksdale camp of Confederate Vete-
rams In Grenada, Miss, has issued an
appeal to the people to put down lynch
ing. 1t declares that "save perhaps for
one unmentionable crime" lynching is
without justification and it calls upon
the Daughters OF the Confederacy to
use all their great influence to end the
shameful crime of burning human be-
ings at the stake.
The veterans of Barksdale Camp we'll
know that the act of lynching Is an aw-
full misfortune to the man who has q
part in 1t They know that in the long
run the community suffers more than
the victim-suffers in the demoraliza-
tion of young men, in the destruction
of respect for peace and order.
THE ADVERTISER does not defend
lynching at any time. 1t is better
never to uphold it,. When the mob
takes summary vengeance In the n
peculiar set of conditions, it may be
best to say nothing. Lynchings in
those horrible cases will take place.
The least said the better. On the other
hand, the people should be taught that
to lynch for murder, for arson, for theft
or for any of the ordinary felonies, is
for the lynchers, though they number
the whole population Of a community
or county, to be guilty of the unquali-
fled and unrelieved crime Of murder.
The Grenada veterans have spoken
in a full, clear knowledge of the truth.

PROPER TREATMENT OF PNEU-
MONA.

Pneumonia Is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to attemp. to doctor
himself, although be may have the pro-
per remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. IT, should be
borne in mind, however, that pnen-
nomia always results from a cold Or
from an attack OF the grip. and that by
giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
the threatene | attack of Pneumonia
may be warded off. This remedy Is also
used by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results. DR.

What SulIy,s Tumble Proves.

The failure of Sully, the cotton bull,
tends to prove that dealing or gam
bling in futures" has little substantial
effect on the average price of cot
ton. When his failure was announced,
the price OF cotton instantly fell. 1t
dropped q couple Of cents the pound
and more. In a day Or two there was a
reaction and prices began to Climb.
Within q week or two ii is not unlikely
that prices will adjust themselves quite
as though no Sully had ever lived, and
they may go higher than they have
gone. Cotton is a scarce article this
year and that is the reason that the
price is tall. The dealings OF the
Sullys may and doubtless do hive a
temporary influence, but on the whole,
it is supply and demand that absolutely
fixes the average price for the season.
Some years ago when the price of
cotton vas down to six and five cents a
howl went up that the gamblers In
futures were robbing tie producers.
Within the past year q howl has been
heard from some of the men who spin
the cotton that the gamblers ia flu
lures" were destroying their industry
Both cries have been without q firm
bottom In truth. The gamblers In
futures" have been mere recorders of
fluctuations. Their successes aud fail
ures have been little more than indi-
Gators of the history Of tie cotton
trade pointers showing how from day
to day the relation OF the supply 10 the
demand has been understood through
out the cotton using world. or course,
as We have eaid, they have exercised
temporary influences, bit the worlds
cotton crop has been bought and sold
for ten years for about the same money
that 1T would have realized bad their
tribe never been born.
The gambler in futures has bis sport
as does the gambler at cards. Some
times he wins; sometimes he loses.
The Industrial world id affected little
more by the cotton gambler than by
the poker gambler. What harm Is
done to the world on the cotton ex-
changes is perhaps more than balanced
by the facilities which the exchanges
furnish the outsider for watching and
regulating the ebb and flow Of supply
ard demand.

Tiue to Do Something.

The city and county of Laurens are
eoj >ying greater prosperity than they
have enjoyed for years. There is more
money in Laurens today than there has
been In a decade before. The deposits
in the banks are larger by at least 60
per cen than they have been a. any
time heretofore.
Aperiod like this should not be al
lowed to pass ~withoutthe establishment
of Industries which will earn dividends
and give people employment.
Among other things, Laurens should
have it's own ice factory. Laurens
should make it's own brick. Anderson
has small factory that makes sus-
penders-why rot Laurens? In Pelzer
u mattress factory has been a fine profit
earner-why not Laureps? In New.
berry collins are manufactured at a
profit--why not Laurens? With cotton
mills turning ont dozens of patterns of
fine cotton goods, it seems reasonable
that ready-to-wear garments, such as
shirts, shirtwaists and underciothing

mills of this section using great guam
titles OF brooms, why should not Lau-
rcns make the brooms?
Our steam laundry and u furniture
factory afford a means of making q
living to numbers Of good people.
We should have numbers OF other
such concerns. II the sixty lots sold
here lately should each have a house,
300 additional people would I've in
them. We cannot expects an incoming
of 300 people unless we give them
something to do. Not every man cHn
be salesman or book-keeper or store
keeper. We cannot all live by merely
swapping dollars with each other.
Laureus must have industries that pro-
vide employment. A concern like
Hudgens Bros. shops helps the life of a
town far more than a new store would
help it. The town will not soon be In
better condition to do something than
it is in now.

their normal physiological state. So in
this proves its properties to be of great
value in assisting digestion, assimila-

SUPERINTENDENT EXAMINING
NUMEROUS PUBLICATIONS TO
MAKE SELECTIONS.
City Board Will Choose Books for
Commercial Course in the
High School.

Under the new Gunderson act it will
be the duty of County superintendent
j. Z. Myers and the city school board
to select the text books to be used in
this county for the next five years.
BY the new law the schools of the
state are divided into two divisions,
districts having a high school of two
years or more, and other districts. In
the first class it is the duty of the
school board and the city superintend-
ent to make the selection of text books
and in the second case the county
superintendent does the choosing.
The city of Walla Walla would come
under the first class. Unless the law
is repealed at the coming session of
the legislature it will become effective
next year and selections will be made
between March and July, 1905. County
Superintendent Myers has been exam

from the popularity of Presi-

mons popularity in republican circles,
and particularly among the republican
members of congress. He is their idol
and no man while Cannon remains
member of the house, will rise on the
republican side and become a candi
date for speaker against him. The only
way to get Cannon out of the speaker
ship is to nominate him for president
in 1908, and because of his advanced
years, it is doubtful if this will be
done. Such men as Representative
Payne. Dalzell. Sherman and perhaps
GrosvenOr regret CannOn's escape from
the vice presidency, for it destroys all
chance of their becoming speaker as
long as Cannon remains on deck And
he has a wonderful amount of vitality
for a man of his years.

WOULD DEFRAUD COMPETITORS
Serious Charge Placed Against Seattle
Furniture Dealer.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 29.-R. A.
Scatter, one of the citys best known
furniture dealers, is in the city Jail
charged with fathering a scheme to de-
fraud installment- selling furniture
houses He is alleged to have employed
men to buy furniture on the INSTALL
ment plan from rival houses and then
inducing these men to sell the same to
other persons, thus beating the origi-
money.
The police have three instances that
they say are conclusive. and to all of
them Scatter has confessed, although
he says that he did so only to raise
ready money and that in time he
would make all good.
Scatter has been watched for three
years by the police. In that time he
has had five fires in his store after he
had heavily insured his stock. All of
these fires the police believe were of
an lncendiory origin, but they could
not prove it. Twice has Seater's home
been robbed, according to his own
story, and in both instances large
sums of money We're taken. Both of
these robberies the police have dis
credited, but they were never able
positively to connect Scatter or any of
his cohorts with the starting of the
story.
Bail has been refused Scatter. Chief
OF Police Delaney is now conducting an
investigation, in which he says that a
gigantic scheme to defraud furniture
men IN several parts of the city will be
unearthed. Two of Seater's alleged ac-
complies are already under arrest.
