Columbia needs more dwelling
houses. Every week calls for
dwellings by people who desire
to locate here, but there are none
to let. Would it not be good
idea if some of our citizens, who
have ample wealth to put up a
number of cottages. Desirable
lots can be secured in the Mitch
ell addition, fronting the Glas-
cow road. Houses could be built
on these lots that would yield 10
per cent. annually. Money thus
invested and the property kept
insured, is as safe as in secured
loans. Start a building boom.

Ten Reasons Why Bryan
Thinks He Will Win

First-Labor is going to sup.
port him more unitedly than ii
ever supported any Presidential
candidate before, he believes,
his estimate being that 80 per
cent. Of the labor vote will go to
him.
Second Practically all tn e
gold Democratic boilers Of '94
are supporting him, and the
Democrats are more united than
they have been since Cleveland
was elected in 1892.
Third-The Republicans have
the biggest lot of quarrels on their
hands ever known in a single
year, these quarrels threatening
disastrous losses in States that
are vital to Republican success,
such as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Kansas, Wisconsin, the two
Dakotas, New York, etc.
Fourth Republican ''luck'
has been broken by a panic; bust
ness no longer fears him; there
is still a vast army of unemployed
workers, and he feels that he is
safe from a repetition of the
scares of 1896 and 1900.
Fifth-A great revolution has
been going on among the farmers
of the Middle West in favor of
the popular reforms which the
Republicans refused to put in
their platform, and which the

Association and both delivered
speeches. There was great in
terest in the meeting of the two
opposing candidates for the Presi-
dency, and when they clasped
hands a tremendous shout went
up from the thousands present.

Hon. Joseph M. Brown, Demo-
crat, carried the State of Georgia
last week by nearly $4,000 ma
jority over M. Yancy Carter,
Independent. It was a disagree

Gratis were out. They will all be

Democrats adopted and this he
believes will be shown in the
votes of the great farming States
like Kansas, Iowa, Nebra ska,
Minnesota, the two Dakotas and
Wisconsin.
Sixth-The railroads having
mixed so much in politics, he be-
lieves have determined to keep
their hands off altogether, and
will make no attempt to coerce
their employees as in 1896 and
1900.
Seventh The feeling among
President Roosevelt's supporters
in the West that he more nearly
represents the Presidents re-
forms than does Mr.. Taft and the
feeling that Mr.. Taft is not a
good-natured, easy-going man
who will let things remain as
they are.
Eigth-The education which
the farmers and workers have
had of the determinations of the
tariff, which is reflected in the
decision of the Republicans to
revise the tariff.

party. He overlooked Texas.

WE'D, OCT. II, 1908.

Gen. P. w. Hardin delivered
the most convincing, the most
inanswerable and the truest Dem
ocratic speech in the courthouse
last Thursday that has ever been
heard in that building though it
has adorned our town for more
than twenty-five years. The
house was fairly we'll filled by
many of Mr.. Hardin's old friends
including quite good number
of ladies and out Of the entire
number not a weird of criticism
has been heard, though many
Republicans were present. His
main subject was the tariff, and
its relation to the trusts and COM
binations that have built up gil
gantic fortunes for the few at
the expense of the many. He
showed that the principles of
Democracy were right in the
beginning of our Government,
that they are right now and best
for the people, but the party with
uninterrupted control for more
than half century, became cor
rupt or was led by selfish motives,
resulting in its overthrow, the
establishing of the Republican
party that corrected the abuse
of those times. He pointed to
the goodss. that the Republican
party had accomplished, but Of
late years it had been led by self
ish motives bringing unjust bur-
dens on the people and should
therefore be shorn of its power.
The inequalities resulting from
Republican legislation and adj
ministration were pointed out in
a manner betting a Statesman
and clearly showed that the time
had come for a change. Mr..
Hardin has always been consid-
cred a forceful speaker, but his
address to his many friends here
last week was one that outmeas-
ured all other speeches he ever
made. That he is doing a great
work for the cause he represents
can not be doubted and we would
be glad if he could be heard in
every State of the Union.

How Farmers Saved a Business
House.

An interesting case where a business
house selling implements to farmers
and receiving four and six months
notes in payment, was saved early
this year by the makers of these
notes, came recently to the knowledge
of the writer of this. That business
house found itself without sufficient
ready cash to meet its maturing obi
cations, but was in possession of farm
ers' notes varying from S100 TO $500
and amounting to almost $4,000 all
in all. The banks refused at that time
TO discount those notes received in
payment for orders secured by adver
Using. When the advertising agent
of the firm called for the payment
of his monthly bill he was surprised
TO receive an offer of a four months
note in payment of it. instead of the
usual check with which the firm used
to settle its monthly advertising ae
count for number of years. The
advertising agent suggested TO the
manager Of that firm to appeal TO the
farmers to take up their notes be-
fore maturity, by Offering them a dis
count of per cent This suggestion
struck the manager as a splendid one
with the result that within twenty
four hours a letter was mailed to the
farmers whose notes the firm held de-
scribing the conditions of the larger
cities, the difficulty of getting even
good notes discounted by banks and
offering a discount of percent to all
willing to take their notes up before
maturity. Within one week every one
of those notes but two amounting to
$500, were redeemed by the farmers.
The replies came in quicker than eX.
pected Not only this, but a number
of farmers offered to buy more nipple
ments for cash if acceptable terms
could be offered Only two farmers
did not reply and the reason of it
was, as was learned later. that they
had gone with their wives to Cali
fornia
This case shows what wealth the
farming population has accumulated;
how eager it is to take advantage of
conditions and what market there is
now for those seeking patronage for
legitimate propositions by the right
kind of advertising in desirable agri-
cultural papers.-Guenthers Journal.

From evidence obtained by tie
states attorney of Chicago, it seems
pretty well settled that the big milk
companies have divided up the coun-
try in that section and apportioned
each slice to a member of the trust.
Farmers testified that no two compan-
les operated in the same town and
that prices were fixed by the milk
companies in every case and never
by the farmers The only consolation
the farmers get out of it is that there
seems to be faint possibility that
some members of the trust may in
time be introduced to the inside of a
Jail.

A Blade of Grass.

1t was only last spring that | was
walking down Macdougal street one
morning and noticed a swarthy, olive

moment and noticed that down one
side were already growing encourag-
ing little green sprouts | asked if he
had planted those also, and learned
that every day he picked up the oats
that were dropped by the horses feed
ing from their bags, and planted them.
Then when they came up he trans
planted them into paper shoe box

Until recently, and even now, the
farmer is the least understood man
on earth. In the opinion of the mass

GOSSIP FROM WALL STREET

New York, May At do not know, -
said stock operator to-day, whether ii
requires the more courage to remain short
on this market in view of the possibility
Of a further sharp rise or to go long on
top of this advance Neither would ap-
peal to me and I think there is not
enough sporting blood in the street for
much of either. The short interest has
been reduced to small proportions and
know that the public has ceased to buy
and is beginning TO sell.
All over the street there were stories
of large short interest in st. Paul which
would like TO settle privately, but would
not be afforded an opportunity 10 do SO.
It's only means Of retreat, It was said
would be through buying in the open
market what It required for the covering
of its contracts The stock, according
to rumor. was practically cornered and
some houses claiming 70 represent large
interests made il known that 50 far as
they were concerned no request for a
private settlement would be acceded to,
nor would they lend stock. except as a
great favor They also intimated that they
would execute no bear orders in II, either
for other firms or for their regular Gus
toners.
The current talk of a corner in st.
Paul very much resembles that heard
in the fall of 1906. when the stock sold
up to within a fraction of 200 and estab-
lished its highest point Of record. The
elimination Of that advance was fol-
lowed by a heavy decline. the need of a
short interest as a sustaining factor
being severely felt
The Washington herald., 1908-05-03

Even If the large interests in st. Paul
were willing TO permit a corner in the
stock, some brokers doubt if such con-
diton could be brought about. There
was a heavy distribution of St Paul
last year, and while most of what was
distributed went into the hands of in
vestors. it was conteBded that the greater
part of 1t would again come into the
street If the rise in a few months dis
counted the Improvement in the COM
pany's affairs, that was expected TO come
only at the end of a year or more. The
bargain hunter is prone to sell out on
large advances-he has now seen a rise
of over 40 per cent in the price of st.
Paul-and to put himself in shape TO
avail Of future opportunities.
Union Pacific, st. Paul, Southern Pa
citic, and Northern Pacific made new
high records this year, and the same was
true Of some other issues of less promi-
nence. The stocks that were the strong
est We're also the most active and for
the movements in all, one explanation
was given-that the short interest was
large and the floating supply compara-
lively small.
Southern Pacific. which on Thursday
was tipped to sell at 81 before the end
OF that days session, has not reached
the figure named though it came very
near it to-day, selling at SIS and holding
strong until the close, In this stock, as
in St Paul, it was said that some houses
credited with carrying large amounts
made no secret OF their refusal TO lend
it and 10 make the operation of the short
interest uncomfortable in every possible
way
