Graham & Wells Ask catarrh
Sufferers to try Hyomei on
Their Guarantee

Graham & Wells invite all who suffer
iron, any form of catarrhal t,oubles Co get
Hyomei outfit from tnem with their
absolute guarantee that ii it does not sive
perfect satisfaction, the money will be
refunded upon request.
There Is no other treatment for catarrh
that In any way resembles Hyomei, none
that gives such quick curative results and
lasting satisfaction, no medicine that can
take its place, none that can be sold Oh a
guarantee like this, to refund tls0
money unless ff cures.
Catarrn is germ disease and can be
cared only by breathing Hyomei, SO that
the most remote air cells in the nose,
throat and lungs are reached by us an.
tiseptic healing powers. In this way all
catarrhal germs are killed, the irrita,ed
mucous membrane Is healed and catarrh
is driven from the system.
This wonderful medicated air treatment
does not drug and derange the stomach,
but Is breathed through little DO, ket
inhaler that goes with every dollar outfit,
The unusual way in which Graham d

IS 1T A TAX?

| 1C is dllegeQ against prOCocClOn
that it is a tax which is added to
the cost of production and col
lected from the consumer of a
product. If this is true of duties
which are laid for protection it is
equally true of those which are
laid only for revenue. If the pur-
pose of tariff is simply to raise
revenue it not long escapes the
charge that it is a tax added to
the cost of production and ulti-
mately paid by the consumer.
Such a tariff approximates, as
nearly as practicable,.to absolute
free trade. If for any reason
European manufacturers can pro-
duce goods cheaper than we can
they have unchecked entrance to
our markets and soon put our
manufacturers out of business.
Having done this we are at the
foreigners mercy and are COM
PEELED to pay not only cost of pro-
duction but the tariff plus a good
profit besides. This is just what
English manufacturers have done
and are ready on opportunity,
again.
When our tariff is sharply on
the lines of protection it excludes
the foreign manufacturers from
our markets and gives them to
our own manufacturers who
eagerly enter into competition to
supply them. The American
workman is employed, his scale
of wages is maintained and COM
petition forces economy Of pro-
duction and the lowest scale of
prices. This it has invariably
done or tended to do.
In 1882 steel wire nails paid a
duty of l cent a pound and were
sold at 81 cents a pound. In
1884 the duty was raised to 4
cents a pound, an increase in
duty of 8 cents pound. Now
if this is a tax paid by the con-
sumer the price of nails should
have been liz cents a pound.
Within five years our production
of steel nails rose from nothing
to nearly 100000 kegs and the
price fell to less than 2 cents
a pound. Now if the duty was a
tax on the consumer, in all equity
the manufacturer, to make the
consumer whole, should have
paid him 2 cents a round for
each pound of nails he bought.
We might cite many additional
facts to show that protection pre-
serves the home market to the
American manufacturer, that it
gives our workmen employment
at the American wage scale, and
that it fosters such competition
as gives the product to the con-
sumer at prices Europe cannot |
match and pay her laborers liv-
ing wages.

A JABBERING SPOOK.

AntedaClng the war or the
revolution there existed that pro-
vincial sentiment and purpose
which. in a few years, became
known as the doctrine of Estate
Rights. 1t was the growth of
Independent sovereignty held by
the people of each Of the original
colonies.
After independence had been
won this spirit we'll nigh defeated
any attempt to maintain central
government. But for the recog-
nized necessity of being united
for the common defense it is
probable the Articles of Confed-
Grafton would not have held the
states together as long as they
did. Within six years it was ap-
parent that the rights, powers
and duties of the central govern
ment must be enlarged, clearly
defined and be acquiesced in or
the government would be de-
stroyed, the states rent asunder
and the fruits of their hard-won
struggle for independence cast
heedlessly away.
!. At this juncture a convention
was assembled to revise the Ar
ticles of Confederation. 1t soon
became evident that this could
not be done in a way to give per-
manent and desirable results. No
. mere confederation of the states
was strong enough to conserve
what had already been won nor
broad enough upon which to build,
bind and fuse all the states into
one harmonious whole.
1t was seen that if a more per-
feet union was to be created and
an enduring government of all
the states organized it must be
done on other lines. The conven-
ton then entered upon the almost
hopeless task of forming a con-
stitution and erecting a new
government. Only a careful
study of the daily journal of the
convention gives one a just un-
derstanding of the nature and
extent of the difficulties which
had to be met and overcome be-
fore the constitution was agreed
upon and referred to the states
for their acceptance or rejection.
The jealousies, fears, suspicious
and prejudices arrayed under the
banner of State Rights almost |
defeated its adoption by the
states. 1t was ratified, however,
and the new government set in
motion.
There now appeared what is |
fairly designated as two schools
of constitutional Interpretation.
One of these embraced those who
were Jealous for the maintenance
of state sovereignty and jealous
of power in the hands of the CEN
trail government, the other COM
posed Of those who believed that
a strong, vigorous general gov
ernment should be maintained
and that it could be without en-
dangering the autonomy of the
states.
1t is somewhat remarkable that
a Virginian, 8 Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court. gave US the
doctrine of implied powers to
guide Interpretation of the con-
stitution and another illustrious
Virginian cast the seed into the
soil of State Rights from which
it sprang up bearing the fruits of
rebellion, secession and interne-
cine war.
The democratic party became
the party of State Rights. The
republican party, following the
Wing, as that party did the Fed
eral party, became the party fav-
oring a strong central govern
ment. This is the present rela-
tive position of these parties.

PEACH GROWERS in SESSION.
Meeting He in Atlanta at Which Status
of Crop Is Discussed.

The Georgia Peach Growers asso-
citation, one hundred strong, convened
last Wednesday morning at the Kim
ball house in Atlanta. The matter Of
the peach crops disposition, how
much should go to the Gamers, and
also the question of its price, con-
suned the opening session.
President H. A. Matthews, in his in
troductory address, emphasized the
need of a large portion Of the crop be-
Ing canned, if glut of the peach mar
ket is to be avoided. He also brought
out the fact that the peach crop is
net so large this year as has been
thought He insisted that there has
been much over estimation of its size.
A. NJ Kitchen, of Baldwin, Ga,
brought up the question of what price
the crop will bring by stating that half
the California crop is annually sold to
the Gamers at fifty cents per bushel.
This price from the Gamers, he in
sisted, would be more profitable to the
growers than any price secured by
shipment
|. G. Wade. Of Cornelia, moved that
it be ascertained how many of the
growers present would be willing to
sell their crop to the Gamers at fifty
cents a bushel, but this motion was
laid on the table. The sentiment was
evidently strong among the growers
that no such small price would be
| taken.
A representative of a Pittsburg COM
mission house, speaking to the con-
vention, declared that the Georgia
peach crop will be from 1000 to 5000
carloads this year, and will amount in
value to S5,0OO,O00.

Will FINANCE COTTON
Farmers Union Reaches Agree
ment at Atlanta Meeting.
SOLUTION NOT MADE PUBLIC
President Duckworth Delivers an Inser-
esting Address Explaining Greatest
Proposition Yet Undertaken.

After adopting plan to warehouse
and finance the coming cotton crop,
gathering statistics from .seventy-fve
counties, which indicates the acreage
IN Georgia is eff by 10 per cent and
the crop condition off from 35 per cent
to so per cent, the Farmers union, af-
ter a session of two days in the SEN
ate chamber of the state capitol, ad-
journed.
The plan of financing the crop is
kept an executive secret for the pres
ent, at least, but, it is stated, it has
been settled and the union will go
ahead on this basis
The system of warehousing, as un-
dertaken in number of counties
throughout the state during the past
few years, and which has proved sue
cessful, will be expanded and in.
creased.
The union believes this method to
be the solution of the situation, and
will act accordingly.
President r. F. DuckWorth set forth
the full purpose and aim of the meet
ing in speech delivered to those gath
cred. He said in part:
"You have been called here today
for the purpose of completing plans
for carrying out the greatest PROPOSE
ton that has ever been undertaken
by the Georgia farmers.
''We would call your attention to
the fact that the plans you are about
to prosecute have required the very
best brain in all ages. Thousands OF
men have lost their hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars in attempting corner
on cotton, and while your efforts are
not an attempt to corner the cotton
crop, it is a plan for financing it,
which will require similar amount OF
money, and the plans you develop to-
day will have a great deal to do with
the successful pricing of cotton by the
southern farmer.
eve have always realized the great
Importance to the cotton producer of
plan for the financing of his cotton.
Heretofore our financial propositions
have been confined principally to coun-
ties. This plan has proven very sue
cessful, but not so completely controll-
ing the cotton situation as would a
plan by which the cotton of each state
would be financed from central Of
fee operating through the several
counties interested. When this plan is
put in operation, and that, too, not in
violation of the antitrust law, the
southern farmer will become as indie
pendent and prosperous as any of his
fellow citizens engaged in other lines
of business"

Horse in Stall Fifteen Years.

Plus Inflow, a drayman, recently
bought horse that had been impris-
oned for fifteen years in his own
er's stable because the animal ran
off and threw the occupants Of a
buggy into the road.
The owner became SO angry with
the horse that he registered a vow
never to take the animal out again.
The horse has stood in his stall from
that day to this, being fed and water
ed regularly. Lack Of exercise made
the horse so weak he could hardly
walk. He was also handicapped by
his hoofs, which had got to be a
foot long. Before the animal could
be shod eight inches Of each boot was
cut away.-Altoona Dispatch to the

Augusta is going to wash away an
