LOST MONEY AND JOB.
The Congressional Election Contests
Have Been Decided.

A Washington dispatch to Th9
News and Courier says a report was
filed by the house committee on elec-
tons Tuesday in the South Carolina
contested election cases. There Is
little variation between this report
and those filed in former contests
except that in all the others it has
been stated that Prioleau, Dantzler
and Myers were not elected to
congress.
In the present report it is stated
that Representatives Legare, Pat
terson and Lever "were" elected.
This ends the contests up to tha
present, but in a short time hear
ings will probably be given the
South Carolina negroes on their con,
test filed for the 61st congress.
1t has recently developed that
Prioleau was the only one Of the
South Carolina negroes smart
enough to secure payment of the
$4,000 fee allowed him by law. 1t
is understood that the Two other
contestants received nothing.
So Dantzler failed to get his lit
lie allowance of $4,000 for expens-
es, which might have had something
to do with the failure of the Zion
Savings Bank, of which the would
be congressman was president. 1t
may have also had something to do
with Dantzler losing the nomina-
ton last time, as Republican noni-
inee for congress from this district
is of no earthly use to Jacob Moorer
and the other fellows who use TO
get a good share Of those" two
thousand dollars. That is why they
tried a new horse the last tins
in the person of one Richardson.

,.4alsE YOU OwN MEAT.
Is the Advice of the, Progressive

Years ago / wrote of, visiting a
mans farm, where all the land was
in cotton right up to the. house
standing unpainted in bare field.
a hopeless-looking woman was fry
ing some Western bacon for the din
ner, while the man toiled in the cot
ton. And I got to thinking over the
matter. There was no stock on tho
place but the mules that worked the
cotton. And as I saw that bacon,
thought that some farmer out West
raised that hog, and probably made
something out of it. Some railroad
carried it to Chicago, and certainly
made money.
Some packer bought and cured the
meat, and grew TO be millionaire.
Another railroad brought ii South
and paid dividends by doing it.
Some merchant bought it, and sold
it to that man out there in the cot
ton field at big proit-and he
works all summer in the cotton
making all these people prosperous
out Of his one crop, while at the
end of the year he is as poor as
ever, and his land grows less and
less productive, while he might have
made ali those profits himself il
raising the bacon at home.
The Western farmer makes corn,
the railroads haul it, the merchant
buys it and sells it to r.e man who
could raise the corn at m5re profit
than the Western farmer If he i'm
proved his land. Yet he goes on in
the old hopeless way imagining that
cotton is the only thing 20 get mon
ey out Of, and that corn, oats, and
wheat are only supplies, and the
Western farmer gets rich supplying
him.
When will the cotton farmer get
out of this slavery to everybody
else? Not till he goes to farming
just as the Northern and Western
farmers do. He has crop that Is
far superior as a money crop to anv
they have, and crop that fits into
an improving rotation of crops full
ly as well as any they have North
or West, and while they get rich
in sending him supplies" he gets
poor furnishing the crop that main
tains the trade balance between this
country and Europe, and selling
the cottonseed that fatten the cat
tie that make the meat he buys in
various forms.
Now, then, is the Line to resolve
to change all this. Plan rotation
for your farm and stick to it, grow
plenty of forage and make manure.
and when you once have manure
enough to cover corn-field, you
Will be on the road out or This SlaY-
cry to the North and West.
Nine-tenths of the letters I get
from farmers ask what fertilizer l
shall use for this, that or the other
crop, when the man who farms right
will need to buy little, and that only
of the mineral forms of acid phos-
phate and potash, or but one of these,
perhaps. ur
1 have been hammering away a.
this for many years, and yet how few
have taken the idea. But l do hear
now and then from farmers who, have
broken loose from the old. ruts, and
are succeeding. Would to God thar
l could get all of them to do so!

I should not speak so positively,
only l have observed for quarter
of centuray that where the South
ern merchants have changed from dn
advanced system" to cash system,
they have prospered very much more
than in former years and the num-
ber of failures is immensely less.
Of course, it is not meant that there
should be no credits, but practically
there should be little necessity for
them until e crop is actually ready
for the harvest, then trade becomes
cash transaction. Or better still,
the farmer can get his money from
the bank and pay cash in all cases,
if there is a lack Of ready money.
The advance system bears down
upon the cotton farmer with special
hardship. His crop is either SOL:
at once or is forced to the gin and
the warehouse SO as to secure loans
If the cotton farmer is not forced
to sell to raise money or pay debts
he will store his crop on his farm
and market at MS leisure, which is
in the interests of all parties.
1t appears to me, therefore, that
the farmer will immeasurably gail:
when he produces what he has hith-
erto bought in the way of living.
He is not compelled to sell his croi'

A STARTLING STATEMENT
New York Medical Authorities
claim Dyspepsia causes
Consumption.

The post mortum statistics of the big
New York hospitals show that some
cases of consumption are due to UNI
checked dyspepsia, especially when the
victim was predisposed to tuberculosis
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened irritable stomach
is unable to digest food, the body does
not receive the required nourishment,
constipation ensues and the victim be-
comes thin, weak and haggard. AS
result the body becomes fertile field
for the germs of disease TO lodge and
flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the de-
velopement of one of the most insidious
and fatal diseases known to mankind.
Dyspepsia is durable If properly
treated. Grant Holden sells a remedy
which he positively guarantees will
cure indigestion ana dyspepsia OF he
will pay for all the medicine used dur
ing the trial. This remedy is an abso-
lutely new medical discovery and has
been named Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets.
Certainly no offer could be more fair,
and the offer of Grant Holden is posi-
tive proof that Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
let's are a dependable and infallable
remedy. Inasmuch as the medicine
will cost you nothing il it does not
benefit you, we urge you who are suf-
fering from Indigestion or dyspepsia to
try this remedy. A Doc box of Rexall
Dyspepsia tablets contains enough
medicine for fifteen days treatment.
Remember Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
are only sold in Yale by Grant Holden.
