Washington correspondent OF the
Louisville Times says: while great
objection has been made to extend

THE TRUST TENDENCY.

Down in Louisiana cotton growers
have announced publicly that, they
favor the boil weevll because 1t de-
stroys cotton, and by reducing the
supply of it. enables the raisers to get
a higher price for 1t. These cotton
raisers never stop to think Of the
thousands who work In factories de-
pending on cotton for operation and
Of the millions Of people who wear
cotton goods and of other consumers
who are vitality affected by high
prices. These cotton raisers, who
doubtless can't sleep because of wor-
ry and indignation over the eastern
trusts" enormously claiming that
the trusts" put up the price Of what
they handle, are themselves perfectly
willing that a part Of the cotton crop
be destroyed in order that the COM
paratively few people in the United
States who raise 1t may make money
at the expense of the millions who
use II.
This is but one picture Of the in
consistency and insincerity Of the
prejudice against so-called trusts"
and the modern trust tendency. A
dispatch from Clarksville. Tenn,
gives another. when it says among
ether things about the organization
OF tobacco growers:
at is not recalled that ever before
were tobacco growers Of single
mind touching a common purpose,
that purpose being to sell no tobacco
a, any price to what is commonly
known as the tobacco trust unless
said trust shall purchase 1t at a price
to be fixed by the Planters Dark To
bacco Protective Association. So
thoroughly organized are the mem
Sbers Of this association that they will
not consider any price that is offered
them individually by trust represent
atives. The solidity of their organi-
zation is emphasized by the prompti-
tude with which farmers all over the
district have declined to entertain
particularly flatterlng offers for GER
tain tobacco crops. The word has
gone forth that this crop is to be sold
only under the direction Of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Farmers
Association. So far as Montgomery
county is concerned. the members of
the association are fanatically loyal to
it's aims and purposes. They abso-
lutely will not sell pound Of their
tobacco at any price whatsoever to a
trust representative.

been complaining Of the tobacco
trust" and invoking the aid of the

government to bust IT," have them
selves formed one even larger. and
some Of the members of their own, in
addition to deciding on n price for
tobacco not the result OF the rs.u-
ciple of supply and demand. threaten
to go further and violate the law
against establishing boycotts by re-
fusing to sell tobacco to the so-called
trust" representatives at any price.
These organized growers do not
seem to care what price the supply
and demand for tobacco would make
or what the effect of high or fictitious
prices might have on the innocent
consumer. They want 1t high, no mat
ter whom 1t affects, or how badly.
They want the tobacco growers to
get inflated prices at the expense OF
millions Of consumers, for the con-
sumner always pays the price in the
long run.
II both the instances cited above
are not strong evidence Of fe ling
among tobacco raisers and cotton
growers exactly similar to that OF
any Of the trusts" we confess VIC do
not know what to call II. II is
exactly the same spirit for which
these farmers are denouncing the
trusts"
1t simply exemplifes one thing.
however: That every man is usually
found looking out for himself
whether ne belongs to a trust. to a
labor union, or raises cotton or to-
bacco; and he cares precious little
about the other fellow.

climb the stairs, and it is no pleas

who have to do II are true. There
ought to be an elevator to carry them
up, for some OF the ladies and older
citizens who have to pay taxes and
transact other business upstairs in
the city hall, cannot climb the steps
without assistance.
An ordinance was once brought in
to put in an elevator. but became
lost in the shuttle. II is likely anoth-

good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t not only cures colds a1d
grip efactually and permanently, but
prevents these diseases from resulting
ia pneumonia. 1t is also certain cure
for Group. Whooping cough is not dan
eerous when this remedy is given. 1T
contains no opium or other harmful SUBJ
stance and may be given as confidently
to baby as to an adult. 1t is also
pleasant to take. When all of these
facts are taken into consideration 1t is
not surprising that people in foreign

remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having

HE ACCUSES McCUE

"Sam McCue cheated me out of my
wife aud ruined my home. Now he
wants to put rope around my neck"
Such were the words uttered in Char
lottesyille a few days ago by Lester
Marshall, husband of the comely young
woman who recently sprung into notori-
ety through her alleged relations with
Charlottesyille's ex.maycr, now charged
With the murder of his wife. Marshall
and his wife are leading no turtle dove
existence. Their billing and cooing'
during the last twelve months, have
been nothing if not intermittent. Even
now the woman is seeking divorce from
her husband. She says the man drinks
and that he is abusive and immoral.
Lester MarshalPs rejoinders TO all
such allegations are equally as uncom-
plimentary. Aud yesterday be was ir.
ritated because it had leaked out that
Mrs, Marshall had written a significant
letter to J. Samuel McCue and had had
il sent to the prison. Persons in po-
sition TO know say the eplstle was sac
charine in its rhetoric; that it smacked
of sugar and sorghum-in word, that
it was warmly sffectionate.

many despondent spOuses occasionally
drinks-slleges that he and his wife
have for months past been on bad term;

weeks before the murder. During this
period they held little, if any communi'
cation with each other, until Saturday,
September 8, the day before the murder
when Marshall, to his surprise, he says
received letter from his wife, urging
him to come back to Charlottesville The
following Monday. Subsequently, wher
the husband asked his wife why sn'
wrote to him, Mrs. Marshall explained
II was because he was, for few heSr
