In Time of Peace,

In the first months Of the Russia-J apan
war we had striking example of the
necessity for preparation and the early
advantage OF those who, SO to speak
"have shingled their roofs in dry weather
The virtue of preparation has made
history and given to us our greatest
men. The individual as well as the Ra-
ton should be prepared for any emer-
gency. Are you prepared to successfully
combat the first cold you take? A cold
can be cured much more quickly when
traated as soon as it has been contract
ed and before it has become settled in
the system. Cbamberloin's Cough Rem
edy is famous for itR cures OF colds and
it should be kept at hand ready for in
stant use. For sale by the Elk Drug

GOVERNMENTAL INVESTIGATION

Some of the policy holders of
the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, the Savannah Morning News
states, want the government to in
vestigate the affairs of that insti-
tuition, and they have addressed a
petition to the President to that
effect. TIL" point has been raised
that there l. no authority under
which the President can act, but
good lawyers hold that the point
isn't well taken.
The life companies are not local
institutions. They do business in
all the states. 1t is claimed, there
fore, that either the Interstate
Commerce Commission or the De.
partment of Commerce and Labor
has a right to investigate the life
companies which do business out.
side of the state in which they are
located.
These life companies are tremen-
dOus institutions. The Equitable
Life alone has 800, 900 policy hold
ers and assets amounting to more
than $500, 100000.
The policy holders-at leastsome
of them-don't have much conf
dence in the committees that are
now investigating the affairs of the
Equitable. They think they could
rely upon an investigation made by
the government.
Is is not improbable that the
President will accede to the re-
quest for an investigation. If he
should the investigation would
probably be followed by legislation
that would put life companies di-
rectly under the control of the gov
eminent. Would that be desira-

on both sides.

- me limited supply of labor
at hand, to cope with the condition
which for several weeks has con-
frOnted them.
The scarcity of labor, together
with the unwillingness of hordes
of idle negroes to leave the town
and work upon the farm, renders
the outlook, from an agricultural
standpoint, uncertain.
Upon this line the Albany Her
aid of yesterday has the following,
conditions there being the same as
they are here:
When farmers are unable to Sc
cure the necessary labor for culti-
waiting and harvesting their crops,
and the big manufacturing and in
dustrial plants of the section offer
in vain inducements in the way of
increased pay for unskilled help,
the time may be said to be at hand
when a labor crisis impends.
The farmers are the greatest suf-
ferers from the changing cOndi-
lions. The very nature of their
business makes it impossible for
them to pay as high wages as the
fertilizer factories, brick yards,
railways, saw mills, turpentine OPP
orators and contractors for large
buildings or other works. While
a few years ago the common labor
er was satisfied to receive IS cents
a day for his work, he now de
mands a dollar or a dollar and g
quarter-and gets it.
A negro will work for the frs
three days of the week and take
life easy for the remaining four
He doesn't have to work all The
time, and can't be driven.
A well known railroad manager
stated to the writer a few day;
ago that he had but three section
hands at work on a stretch o
track thirty-five miles in length
and that, try as he might, he coulC
employ no others, though extrt
inducements in the way of wage
were offered. The same complain
comes from turpentine men, bricl
s yard managers, turpentine an
saw mill operators and builders.

w. D. Bell, a walking delegate and rank outsider came to town last night and tried to start a strike and a boy colt all in one. He tried to organize a Phoenix local No of the women of Phoenix and advised them to knock off cooking and other forms of housekeep- ing until their husbands should com ply with their demands and vote the democratic ticket next Tuesday.
 This agitation took place at the city hall plaza last night in the interest of the citizen democratic municipal tick et MT. Bell once in a democratic ter ritoriaI convention admitted that he was a kind of Citizen FiXit. That is why he was easily induced to come into the city from far beyond the mu- nicipal boundaries. A man with less abnormal ideas on the subject of re- form might have hesitated to take part in a movement in a town of which he is neither a resident or a taxpayer.
