 If there are any blind tigers in Albany they are keeping very quiet" says The Her aid. Of course they keep quiet Don't ex- pect them to get out on the sidewalk and roar do you u?-Montgomery Advertiser.
 They don't often get out and roar them- selves but their presence is sometimes be- trayed by the roaring of those who visit them. There Is but little roaring of the kind that Is superinduced by the imbibing of fiery fluids in Albany these days Prohi- bition may not wholly prohibit. We all know. to say that it has wrought a great change for the better. not only in Albany. but throughout Georgia. There Is lees crime, and that there Is less suffering among the poorer classes especially among our large negro population. than when we had the sa- loons cannot be doubted.

The Aldrfch bill. so it Is stated, in- creases the duty on mosquito nets from 50 per cent. ad vaiorem to 150 per cent. That is because there are some politically influential manufacturers of these nets in the United States. and they must be looked after. What does 1t matter If the price of nets is put so high that poor folks can't afford to buy them? Let the mosquitoes eat the class up; they have no political infu- encs.

afternoon, Mr. Whitney said:
Il expect to spend all of next week

that time 1 will deliver a lecture on

they will be given an opportunity to
do it at that gathering. 1 know for

Senator William Bradley of
Kentucky Is Bitter
Against Combine
PLEADS FOR REPEAL
OF SIX CENT RATE
Alleges Night Riders Are
But Natural Result of
Conditions.

WASHINGTON, May 28.-A severe
attack upon the tobacco trust was
made by Senator William Bradley of
Kentucky, today when he pleaded for
tobacco so that growers might sell the
product as freely as the growers of
barley and hops. He described the
"rapacity of the trusts and asserted
result of commercial conditions forced
by the American Tobacco company. He
declared the trust had devoured it's
competitors until it has controlled all
the markets and forced down the price
and in many instances below the act
uai cost of production.
He declared that the growers, IN
self defense, had formed an organiza-
ton, Including 10000 members in
Kentucky; and they conceived the idea
of pooling their interests and products
mand should force good prices, and
the trust would be compelled to pur-
chase at fair value in order to sup
ply customers The plan worked out
and a large sum of/money was bor-
rowed in New York. Members were ad-
vanced a small percentage on tobacco
which they placed in warehouses and
held in pool The trust in order to
break the pool and defeat the purpose
of the organization, he alleged to have
gone through the district offering high
prices and bonuses to certain growers
to work against the pool, and to turn
over their crops to the trust.
The leaders of the organization
argued against violence, but said the
growers who were ragged and half
starved, through. years of failure to
make cent on crops, looked upon the
action of any grower to sell to the
