Range Company in the I'VE don't pat

erican Federationalist, Mr.. Parker
AYERS that IF the order can be so
construed as to prevent respectful
editorial comment upon the scope
of the decree, or to prevent a free
discussion of it, and an expression of
opinion, that if it does seek to pre-
vent such discussion, in such event
it offends against the Constitution,
then so much of it as attempts to do
so is void
Says Judge Parker:
1t has been urged that even if the
Court in violation of the Constitution
does make an order prohibiting a
man from making a speech on GER
tain subject, or prohibiting a news
paper from publishing an editorial
on the same subject, the party en-
joined must nevertheless obey the
decree If he do not, the Court may
punish him, although it has no power
to make the order But certainly
that which the Constitution prohibits,
the Court may not do. any more than
the Legislature The unconstitu-
tional statute need not be obeyed;
and so the Courts have held time and
again. He who elects to disobey the
statute takes the risk; but if the
statute be unconstitutional no harm
can come to him for ignoring it. And
this is so, say the Courts, because the
statute is absolutely void. 1t would
seem to. follow that a decree of a
Court offending against the Consti-
tuition need not be obeyed, because
it is wholly and completely void.
1t seems to be that the judicial de-
partment OF the Government will not

THE VALUE OF A BOARD OF,
TRADE.

The value of an aggressive Board
of Trade has just been signally
shown to the people of Americas and
Sumter county.
Americas was taken from the bas-
ing points for fertilizers. This meant
an increase of over 20 cents a ton
in the cost of fertilizers to the farm
ers of the Americas district. In all
the additional expense to them for
fertilizers for the ensuing year would
be over 10000
The Americas Board of Trade, only
few of the members of which are
directly interested, as farmers, in the
question, but all of whom as bust
ness men are indirectly interested in,
and affected by. anything that Injuries
the farmers of Sumter county, took
the matter up Immediately.
The question of the raise was dis
cussed in open session, committee
was appointed to communicate with
the manufacturers and enter a decided
protest against the change, and the
result is seen in the announcement
that Americas will continue bac
.4, poAlt, and the farmers around
this city will be saved ten thousand
dollars as a result.
Ten thousand dollars saved in q
single instance by an active Board
of Trade! Does this not effectually
demonstrate the need of such a body
here? And does it not show that the
small dues paid by the members are
money well invested? And further
does it not show that if all of the
business men and property owners of
Americas took the interest they
should in the Board of Trade that it
would be a vastly more influential
and powerful body than it now is?
There is every reason why the
Board of Trade should be supported
and none why it should not be 1t
can be made a tremendous power for
the upbuilding of the city and the
county and for the correction of in
Justice, such as the recent contem-
plated raise in the price of fertiliz-
ers was. But it can never do the
work it should unless it have the
hearty support of the people. It's
work with the limited membership it
has, is effective in various ways, but
it is not broad and comprehensive
eonugh and cannot be made such
without a doubling of the member
ship and corresponding increase
in the funds available for its work.
1t should have a trained superinten-
dent. one who knows how to work
for the industrial and general well
fare of community, and one whose
entire time can be devoted to the
work Then, and then only, can the
Board of Trade do what its active
members would like it to do.
There are few men in Americas
who could not spare a dollar a
month for the support of the work of
an organization whose aims are en-
tirely impersonal and unself1sh, that
has but one purpose in view the
protection and promotion of the in
terests of Americas and Sumter
county.

MEN WHO HAVE RISEN

President Newman, of the New
York Central, resigned one day last
week He was succeeded by w G.
Brown, former senior vice-president
Each of these men rose from the
ranks. One started in the life of a
railroad man as a station agent, the
other as wood corder, or wood split
ter, on a wood burning road
Just as these two men rose from
the bottom, so other men of energy,
character, determination and native
ability will rise in the future. The
men of capacity will rise to the
heights in their professions, regard
less of the obscurity of their begin
nings, or of the obstacles that are to
be surmounted. The greatest an
swer to socialism and anarchy in
this land are the men at the top
who were once at the bottom, and
the vast army of those who are
steadily rising from poverty and ig-
norance to wealth and influence.

that an unconstitutional enactment by

That Pittsburg should have devel-

ers is not at all remarkable. A state
whose politics, state and municipal

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Diseases
Routed Without Use of Injurious
Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets of
their discoveries. Practically the same
thing happened in the medical world in
the case of DR.. Decatur D. Dennis, the
eminent skin specialist of Chicago.
DR.. Dennis, in his own Office practice,
discovered that pure vegetable oil of
wintergreen, properly mixed with other
simple remedies was practically sure
specific for eczema, psoriasis, BARRIERS
itch, salt rheum, and other itching skin
diseases. But the oil of wintergreen
alone was found Ineffective. Itrequired
other mild ingredients such as glycerine
and thymol compounded with the
wintergreen to produce the real eczema
cure.
This compounded D. D. D. Prescrip-
ton positively takes away the itch at
once-the instant it is applied to the
skin. This vegetable liquid does away
with deleterious drugs so long used in
an attempt to doctor the blood, where
as modern science has determined that
eczema is first and all the time skin
disease.
If you want to know more about the
merits of D. D. D. Prescription, call al
our store. We vouch for this remedy

Pain Kills
Some People

Pain kills many people from the
simple fact that it wears them out
robs them of peace Of mind by day
and rest by night. All the opiates in
the world will not cure it. The con-
dition calls for nerve tonic that will
give strength and resistive power to
the nervous system and enable it to
throw off the trouble. Mrs. VIM. Spen-
Ger Of 105 Granger ST., Syracuse, N. Y,
tells you clearly just how she obtained
a positive result in her case. She says:
1T was always nervous, but of late
years could not sleep, was intensely
nervous, ringing sounds in the ears and
sharp noises and pain In my head at
night. My strength was way down
had attacks Of vertigo when I was so
dizzy had to catch hold of something
until it passed off. This condition GER
tainIy needed attention as it was grow
ing steadily worse. DR.. A. w. Chase's
Nerve Pills were recommended to mo
and used them The results were
splendid-the nerves became quiet-the
noises, pain and ringing in the head
together with the dizzy spells disap-
peared completely and began to sleep
well again. The general strength came
back and as result feel we'll every

MORSE IS BANKRUPT
SWears He Has Not Enough
Money or Securities to
Pay Debts.
PLEA COMES AS A SURPRISE

New York, Nov. 10.-Charies w.
Morse who, two years ago, was rated
as being worth upward of $4,000.
swore under oath that he had not
enough money or securities left from
his vast fortune to pay his debts.
This revelation was made when
Morse's attorneys appeared in the
United States Circuit Court Of Appeals
to argue for the admission of Morse
to bail. Morse, who has been SEN
fenced to fifteen years imprisonment
at hard labor in the Federal Prison at
Atlanta, Ca, was not permitted to
leave the Tombs Prison when the mo-
ton to show cause why he should not
be admitted to bail was argued, but
an affidavit made by him was read.
The motion was argued before Judges
Lacombe, Ward and Coke, and decis-
ion was reserved.
1t mad not been expected that Morse
would make the plea that he was bank
rupt. Since the financial panic,
which swept the greater part of his
fortune away, he has maintained that
he would be able to adjust his affairs
to the satisfaction of all his creditors.
