The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure IN all OF its stages,
and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known TO the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken intern
ally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces. of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
tion and assisting nature In doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith In its curative powers that they
offer one hundred dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

Following its policy of retrench-
ment, the Columbus Railway. Light

ductors off of all its cars. The gates
on the rear platforms are kept closed
and passengers pay the motermen as
they enter the ears. The Military

A recent special from Jackson
states that one of Will Sorsby S
friends is quoted as saying that, if
the courts will agree to give him a
life sentence, they will produce him
in twenty-four hours. 1t strikes us
that there is a statute somewhere in
our code which might reach this
crowd for harboring criminal, and
it should be made effective at once.
The idea of a red-handed assassin
debating as to what his punishment
should be, and his friends aiding and

PLANT LESS COTTON.

There seems to be little hope for
any material advance in the price OF
cotton at any time in the near future
issued last week showed 8,199,7S2
bales to have been ginned up to No
vember 1st, and this is the largest
number on record. It is therefore
natural to presume that the crop is
larger than ever before, and as the
price is controlled by supply and
demand we cannot reasonably expect
an advance. AS long as there is an
immense yield prices will remain low
and the only remedy seems to lay in
diversified crops Thousands of cars
of corn are shipped into the South
each year from Western markets,
and there is no reason why the grain
should not be raised here.
This thing OF urging Southern far
mers TO diversity their crops is a
hackneyed theme, but a good scheme
cannot be too persistentIy advocated,
and each year seems to further dem
Onstrate the necessity for planting
more corn and less cotton The soil
an nearly all parts of the South is as
well adapted to corn as to cotton,
and by diversifying his crops the |
farmer cannot only make more m Chs /
eys but improve his land All -3E-
shorities on agriculture agree that foe
plant the same thing year after yearf
impoverishes the soil, while a rota-
tion in crops nourishes the land and
causes it to retain its productive
qualities.
The farmers union is rapidly gain
ing inauence and prestige through
out the South, and it strikes us that
II would be good idea for them to
Inaugurate a vigorous campaign for
crops. The members of
the various subordinate bodies have
frequent meetings. and could easily
agree among themselves TO plant less
cotton and more corn. By follow
ing this plan the farmer would not
only receive more FOR his cotton, but,
having raised enough corn to do him,
would not be compelled to depend on
iase West for food for his stock, and

recent decision of the United
States supreme court has established
beyond doubt the fact that any State
in the Union has the right to enact
laws requiring white and colored
children TO attend separate schools.
The case was carried up from Ken
lucky. having been Instituted to test
the validity of law passed in 1904
prohibiting racial co education in
that State. The higher State court
took the position that the white and
black races are naturally antagonis-
tic and that the enforced separation
of the two is in the line of preserva-
ton of the peace. The opinion of
the supreme court was handed down
by Justice Brewer, and affirmed the
finding of both the Kentucky circuit
court and the court of appeals. Jus
tices Harlan and Day dissented.
