Took Taft at His Word.

There are several pearl button fac
tories at Muscatine, Ia. The buac
tons are made from the mussel shells
found in the rivers round about. Ia.
order to protect the pearl button
industry there is a very heavy tariff
on pearl buttons. But there Is moth.
ing doing in the. button line IN
Muscatine just now, nor has there
been since Mr.. Taft spoke there e
short time ago. The employees OF the
button factories were given time
off to hear Mr.. Taft and he
congratulated them on the fact
that they had been. able to
hold their places because Of the
protective tariff on mother-of-pearl
manufacturers. He also told them
that because Of this tariff their wages
were still being paid undiminished.
This was surprise to the employees
whose pay envelopes were sadly d.
minished last November By a radical
reduction in wages When Mr.. Taft
concluded the button makers went
back to the factories and demanded
restoration Of the wage scale.
They backed it u2 with the evidence
Of Mr.. TaSt's argument-and wasn't
Mr.. Taft the candidate OF the en-
ployers? The employers refused 20
restore wages, and 500 button max
ers went out on strike. Several
hundred more threaten to strike
In the meanwhile the en-
ployers who profit SO much
from the protective tariff ad-
roeated by Mr. Taft have organized
and subscribed to pledge not to re-
employ any person who voluntarily
gave up his place to enfocre a de-
nand for something that the employ
,rs' candidate said they should have
oeen getting all the time. Clearly
Mr. Taft ought to return to Musca-
inc and square things.

Aged Plantation Darkey Cuts His
Throat With Razor.
James H. Heatherington, an aged
negro, living on Mr.. j. B. Atkinson
place, near Armenia, Chester county.
Monday committed suicide, thing
few negroes do. Heatherington was
an Industrious and respected negro,
ano vas gettin. along as we'll as
usual this year, but somehow became
worried about the outlook, with the
result that his mind became affected.
A few days ago he told his daughter
goodbye, and since then in conse-
ouenee, his actions had been watched
so as to prevent him from taking
any rash step. Monday morning,
however, he got hold of razor, and
stealing of into nearby thickeI,
cut his throat. Coroner Leckie held
an inquest Monday afternoon, with
Mr.. Harrison Grant as foreman OF thu
jury, the verdict being that the &c
ceased came to his death from s"-'-

A GROOM SLAIN
By Former Suitor for the Brides
Hand On a Train
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

on the Bride and Would Have
Killed Her Had Not Her Uncle
Caught the Pistol.
A dispatch from New Orleans says
on her bridal tour, which had begun
scarcely an hour before, and seat
ed in a railroad coach almost be-
tween her husband and a former suit
OF for her hand, Mrs. Fred Van
Ingen Thursday night saw the fash
of the suitor's revolver, felt thu
sudden grip Of her husbands hand
as the bullet killed him, and then
turned and fought for her life.
When the girl appeared about t.
become the victim of the second bull
let from the revolver her uncle, a
man with gray hair, but strong and
cool under the excitement, rushed
and thrust his thumb beneath the
| hammer of the revolver, jamming
| the mechanism and rendering the
weapon harmless.
This was the story which the other
passengers on the Texas and Pacific
cannon bail" told when they reach
ed New Orleans Friday, but the
principal actors in the tragedy, most
Of whom are connected with Louis
iana's leading families, have 50 far
! refused to discuss the matter.
The former suitor is F. S. Beauve.
Of Piaquemine, La, at which pla ,e
he was taken from the train and
placed under arrest. The unfortu-
nate husband was Prof. Fred Van
Ingen, a prominent teacher, of Alex
andria, La, and a relative of former
Governor Blanchard. The bride Is
the daughter of James NJ. RhoreC,
one Of the leading officials Of Iber-
Vile Parish, residing i, at Baton
Rouge. Beauve is "a years old ana
Van Ingen was 90.
The wedding took place at Alex-
andria. Beauve was In town, having
arrived there, 1t is reported, on the
same day as Miss Rhcrer. When the
bridal couple left for New Orleans
be boarded the train also, and aftes
time sat IN seat where he was
facing Mr.. and Mrs. Van Ingen
with the bride between him and hel
husband.
Other passengers say Beauve talk.
ed with the bridal couple just befor:
the shooting and that his manner
appeared cordial. 1t was at first re
ported that he congratulated them
but this was later denied. The youns
woman's hand was ir her husband :
when Beauve suddenly drew his re
!. volver and fired. After being dis
. armed the young man quietly sub
ruitted to arrest.

for better prices. If these people
would enter into the fight for better
prices for cotton with only one
fourth the enthusiasm they are CIV
ing to the politics Of the country It
would be but short while before
prices would be far above those Of
today.
The Farmers Alliance, the Farm
ers Union. the Southern Cotton AS
sociaticn should all join their forces
in endeavorlng to withhold cotton
from the markets until a much bet
ter price is offered. Let these or
CARNATIONS suggest days for the
farmers to meet at their respective
meeting places. and take action.
Without unity of purpose and unity
OF action we can not hope to accom-
pIish anything. But let net the con-
ditions we are striving for be brought
about by the lawless night rider, out
