AMERICAN
WAGE FARMERS
"a MAN EARNS DOUBLE AS MUCH
IN AMERICA AS in ENG
LAND"

Extract from remarks of Hon. WIZ.
D. Owen, of Indiana, page 5547 Of
Daily Congressional Record, 5OtE
Congress, list SESSION.
A man earns double as much IN
America as in England and the pnr-
chasing power of a dollar is very
nearly equal. The total cost of sup
plies for family in America is about
5 per cent. more than in England.
The official statistics show that the
price of ordinary family supplies are
not more than per cent. in the en-
cess here Now, you do not comfort a
worker greatly to tell him that If he
will vote for you he can buy for 95
cents for what now costs him a dollar.
especially if you tell the truth that
at the same time instead of getting
a dollar for a days work he will gcS
so cents. He is too good at figures to
surrender so cents in order to save
5 cents. Now, this per cent. more
than a mans family costs him here
than in England can be paid for the
entire year by the extra American
wages he receives in two weeks. That
is, in two weeks work the amount OF
wages he receives above what he
would get in England pays the per
cent. extra expenses for one year For
the other fifty weeks in the year he
can save his extra wages and still fur
nisiG his family the same things that it
would require the whole of his wages
to supply if he lived in England. In
other words. if the families lived just
the same, the American wage-worker
will at the end of the year have fifty
weeks of the extra American wages
in his pocket. The English workman
will not have dollar

JAMES GILLESPIE.
Effort Being Made to Have Him Re-
leased From Jail.

Lawrenceburg, Ind, June PRO
ceedings looking to the release Of
James Gillespie from Jail and MyTon
Barbour, his wife Carrie and Belle
Seward from bond are under way here
before Judge Downey. Capt. Coles and
his daughter Cynthia filed before
Judge Downey, who is holding court
here, a writ of habeas corpus, asking
for the release of the four defendants.
The allegations are that the defend
ants were placed in jeopardy once
when the jury was reopened and then
placed in jeopardy when the new jury
was sworn, and all placed on trial.
This revives the old question of jeop-
ardy that was raised by Capt. Coles
and the other attorneys for the de-
fense at the time of the trial. Should
Judge DOwney rule against them the
case will be at once taken to the su-
preme court

A RACE WAR IS ON.
Two Whites and Thres Blacks Killed
at Trail Lake, Miss.

Greenville. Miss, June 4-As a re-
suit of a fight which occurred on the
Sims & Williams plantation at Trail
Lake. Miss, 80 miles east of here,
Thursday night, John Sims and his
manager, named Cato, were killed by
Negroes and three of the Negroes have
been killed also. The country is in
state of intense excitement and it is
feared further trouble may ensue be-
tween the whites and blacks.
The slaughter started about 10
o'clock Thursday night when Sims and
Cato were shot down in their store by
a Negro named Sam Clark. Sims was
engaged in checking up his cash when
Clark came in. Before he could make
any kind Of a move, Clark raised a
Winchester and fired, the shot taking
effect first in the back and then break
ing the collar bone. He died instantly.
Clark Immediately turned on Cato,
the manager, who was in another part
Of the store, shot him in the right side,
the ball coming out on the left side.
Cato staggered out of the back of the
store and as he reached the door Ne
gro convict named Van Horn, who was
apparently in waiting, struck him over
the head with a rife. Cato died at Z
o'clock Friday morning and the physi-
clan gives it as his opinion that the
blow over the head caused his death.
News of the tragedy was immedi-
ately sent to Greenville and Sheriff
John Crouch with posse went to the
scene. The Negroes Van Horn and
Clark had made their escape before
the posse arrived, but the trail of Van
Horn was found and he was tracked
about a quarter of a mile into tne
woods. Here another Negro convict
guard named Mayfield interfered with
the posse and he was shot down in his
tracks.
Van Horn was captured and taken to
Leland, II miles distant, where he was
placed in Jail. He remained in Jail all
night under a strong guard, but at $3.50
Friday morning he was taken out and
Iynched by a mob While the sheriff
and posse were busy with Van Horn,
the other Negro, Sam Clark, returned
to the Sims store with the intention,
it is said, of killing Buck Williams,
the other partner; the bookkeeper,
named Grow, who was also at work,
and others Grow, however, after the
previous shooting, had armed himself
and a Negro who worked about the
place, named Aaron Fuller. When
Clark made his appearance he was
shot and killed by both Crow and
Fuller
1t is believed at Trail Lake that the
shooting is the outcome Of a meeting
held in the vicinity of Trail Lake by
Negro secret society, and that the Ne
groes involved were picked out to dG
the killing.

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About Food.

When Nature Hints About Food.
When there's no relish to any food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to do any
good then is the time to make a turn
over in the diet, for that's Natures way
Of dropping hint that the food isn't the
kind required.
For a number Of years / followed
railroad work, much of it being Office
work of trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is COM
monty served in hotels and restaurants,
these together with the sedentary habits
were not long in giving me dyspepsia
and stomach trouble which reduced my
weight from 205 to 160 pounds.
There was little relish in any food and
none of it.seemed to DO me any good. 1t
seemed the more I ate the poorer I got
and was always hungry before another
meal, no matter how much 1 had eaten.
Then l commenced a fair trial Of
Grape-Nuts and was surprised how
small saucer of it would carry me along,
strong and with satisfied appetite, until
the next meal, with no sensations Of
hunger, weakness or distress as before.
Il have been following this diet now
for several months and my improvement
has been so great all the others in my
family have taken up the use of Grape
Nuts with complete satisfaction and
much improvement in health and brain
power.
American people undoubtedly eat
hurriedly, have lots Of worry, thus hind
ering digestion and therefore need a food
that is predigested and concentrated in
nourishment." Name given by Postum
