USE OF POISON
Advocated, With Limitations, by Rep
resentatiVes of Proprietary Med
icne Manufacturers.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Propri-
etary medicine manufacturers We're
granted hearing yesterday by sub
committee of the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce
on the proposed amendment by Rep
resentative Lowering, of Massachu-
sets, to the pure food bill. The
amendment permits che use of linn
tied amount of alcohol, opium, cocaine
and other poisonous substances in
patent medicines without stating on
labels that they are. contained in the
preparation.
Geo. S. Douglas, attorney for the
Proprietary Association of America,
addressed the subcommittee, and
Frank ]. Cheney, President of the AS
ISOLATION, and many of it's prominent
members attended the hearing II
was maintained by Mr.. Douglas that
alcohol is necessary as a solvent and
preservant in certain medicines ano
he urged that it's use be permitted IL
quantity not in excess of the amount
shown to be necessary by the United
States Pharmaceopea or the Nationa
| Formulary.
When the alcohol is in such small
quantities in the preparation that i
cannot possibly be regarded as a bev
erage, Mr.. Douglas insists that 1t wa:
an injustice to require a label an
nouncing the presence of alcohol, al
he said it would prejudice many users
againts the medicine. He declared
that many of the statements abou
the deaths from headache powders
were false and also discredited thu
charges that soothing syrups produce
many fatalities.
The pure food bill as reported b.
the House Committee on Inter-Stat
and Foreign Commerce provides tina
a medicine shall be regarded as mis-
branded if it fail to bear statemen
on the label of the quantity or propt
ton of any alcohol therein or of an
opium, cocaine or other poisonou
substances which may be containe
therein.

COTTON

We have plenty of seed from first
pickings to loan farmers who con
template planting. This may be the
year for Maury county growers. A
late season in the South would en-
courage the boil weavil, and with
decrease of % per cent, both in acre
age and fertilizer, the prospect seems
good for big prices.

BIC FRUIT CROP
IS PROMISED

Mr.. Horace Rainey states that the
recent cold spell instead OF being IN
furious, was beneficial to the fruit
and berry crops and that the prospect
for large yield of fruits and berries
is good. Mr.. Rainey says the cold
spell struck us at just the right time
That had it come a week later II
would have been disastrous, but com
ing the time it did, it set fruit and
berries back far enough to escape any
cold weather which may visit us IN
the next few weeks.

BOLIVAR, Tenn. March 22.-The

carriers, as the railroads are, and with
whom they are closely allied. The re-
ports of the railroads for 1904 show
that the express companies paid the
railroads $141 100000, which is said to
be about 80 per cent of their gross
earnings. That there is a close alliance
between the railroads and the express
companies is shown, as several direc-
tors of each are directors-or officers
of railroad companies.
There is a growing impression that
when the inside affairs of the express
companies are exposed, that it will be
found that large amounts of money
have been paid to republican campaign
funds and for lobbying purposes to
prevent hostile legislation, such as the
life Insurance companies have been
shown up in doing.

The Conf ug Senator From Out OF
Kansas.

1t is apparently agreed out in Kan
sas that the republicans will control
the next legislature, and the campaign
for the seat in the senate formerly Oc-
cupied by the fallen Burton grows in
teresting Senator Benson, who was
temporarily appointed by Governor
Hoch pending the, election by the leg
islature. Is one of the leading candi-
dates. But it is remarked that }. l.
Bristow, who did such good work in
Washington in connection with the
postoefice frauds, more nearly repre-
sents the Roosevelt idea of doing
things than any other" candidate. And
yet in a speech a few days ago Mr..
Bris1ow is reported to have asserted
that. while a general tariff revision
might unsettle industrial conditions. a
great modification in the tariff must
be made. "The tariff on lumber" he
said must be removed absolutely.
We are protecting the country, but a
business that is depicting our forests
and yet doubling the price of a neces-
sity."
Reciprocity treaties. he added,
should be used TO cut off tariff charges
on manufactured goods. In view of
the presidents letter to Congressman
Watson, il looks as if Mr.. BristOw did
not very closely represent the Roose-
welt idea on the tariff at least.

The Latest Transportation Monopoly

The express companies form about as
complete a monopoly as could be or
ganized. They are dividing up the ter
ritory among them so as not TO com
pete over the same lines or within the
same area. Their operations extend
over 15S.000 miles of railroad and
there are only four of them-the Ad-
ans. the American, the United States,
and the Wells-Fargo. These are said
to do go per cent OF all the express
business and they also exercise con-
troll over some of the smaller COM
panies outside of their exclusive fields,
but having connection with them. This
virtual. monopoly of the express bust
ness has been under no sort of control,
but should now like the railroads have
to file their schedule of rates and make
account ~ their business to the inter
state cCc-ce commission, SO we
shall soon know more about these
close corporations and may hope to
have their exorbitant rates modified to
a reasonable extent.
