TALKS AGAINST SOLID SOUTH.

TALKS AGAINST SOLID SOUTH.
DR.. Dabney, of the University OF
Cincinnati, delivered an address at
Tuscaloosa, Florida, last Wednesday
in which he contended that the South
ought to do more independent voting
and not keep solid any longer. He
intimated that. for awhile, to prevent
negro domination, 1t was necessary
from the Southern point of view, but
that is the situation no longer.
The suffrage question rests with
the state, and what the state DEGREES
in its constitution is the law of the
land. This is the edict OF congress
and the opinion Of the supreme court
and both Roosevelt and Taft have
declared, II the Southern election
laws are administered fairly, they
cannot be interfered with. So there
is no reason for the South to stay
solid any longer.
There is very good reason why 1t
should not, and that is 1t should as
sumo some influence in national ar-
fairs, which it would do, by taking
a broad view OF political duty, and
not further regard solidity as the con
dition necessary to its own welfare.
DR.. Dabney pressed this point with
vigor, on his Southern hearers. He
said now is a good time to make the
step, when no important issues seem
any longer to separate the two great
parties. And this point. he illustrat-
ed by the following reference to the
tariff question.
The Republicans OF the West have
become strong tariff reformers and
are now fighting their fellow parti-
sans Of the East for the downward
revision promised them in the cam.
paign, while Southern Democratic
congressman are hanging around un-
der the tariff pie table trying tc
pick no few crumbs of protection
That point was we'll stated and must
have impressed the South with the
absurdity of Its solidarity pokcy.

HERE'S A WAY TO SAVE
DOCTOR BILLS
Physicians Give Free Advice by
Which Parents May Profit.

It's matter of general interest
just now how ones physical condi-
tion can be got into shape to best re-
ceive the benefits OF the summer sea-
son. Especially Is this true OF tho
children. They have become run
down by the winter OF unnatural
manner Of living because OF ill-con
sidered food and much time spent In
doors. Spring comes with its sun
shine, It's fresh vegetables and all
else invigorating. but the children
are in no condition to receive ma
tures remedies.
Many parents call In the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage of what the physician told
them when he was first called in
consultation. All good family ply
sicians say: Give the children Cas-
toria." Healthy parents know this
remedy OF old, for they took 1t them
selves as children. It was more
than thirty years ago that Castoria
made a place for itself In the house
hold. 1t bore the signature OF Char
les II. Fletcher then. as 1t does to-
day. The signature is its guarantee,
which is accepted In thousands OF
homes where there are children.
Much is printed nowadays about big
families. Dr. William j. McCrann, OF
Omaha, Neb., Is the father of one
OF these much-read- families.
Here is what he says:
"As the father of thirteen children
certainly know something about
your great medicine, and aside from
my own family experience have,
In my years of practice, found Cas-
toria a popular and efficient remedy
In almost every home"
Charles Fl. Fletcher has received
hundreds of letters from prominent
physicians who have the same esteem
for Castoria that DR.. McCrann has.
Not only do these physicians say they
use Castoria In their families, but
they prescribe 1t for their patients.
First OF all 1t is a vegetable prepara-
tion which assimilates the food and
regulates the stomach and bowels.
After eating comes sleeping. and
looks out for that too. It
allays feyeriahness and prevents loss
of sleep, and this absolutely without
the use OF opium, morphine or other
baneful narcotic.
Medical journals are reluctant To
discuss proprietary medicines. Halls
Journal OF Health. however, says:
Our duty is to expose danger and
record the means for advancing
health. The day for poisoning in
nocent children through greed or
ignorance ought to end. To our
knowledge Castoria is remedy which
produces composure and health BY
regulating the system. not by|

MAKES A FORTUNE BY
holding A CITY LOT

Chicago, June 5--By holding a
piece OF Chicago down town property
twenty-four years William C. Loben-
stine Of New York city, has made a
clear profit OF more than three-quar-
ters of million dollars. This is at
the rate Of more than $4,000 a year.
This became known when 1t was
announced that Mr.. Lobenstine had
sold to Richard w. Sears of Sears
& Roebuck the southeastern corners
of jackson boulevard and Plymouth
place.
The consideration mentioned in the
deeds Is nominal, but it is stated on
good authority that Mr.. Sears paid
about 100000 for the land. The
property is sOx1O5 feet.

FAST AUTO DRIVING
ON STREETS UNLAWFUL

Although automobile owners, gen.
orally, do not seem to be aware of It,
there are laws governing the speed at
which machinery may travel within
the city limits.
Up to this time no serious automo-
bile accidents have taken place in
Marion but there have been several
narrow escapes from them and, IL
the prevailing high speed, at which
motorists are accustomed to run, Is
not cut down, there are bound to be
some fatalities.
1t is daily occurrence to see sew
eral machines speeding along the
streets at a rate of thirty miles an
hour and unless something is done
to prevent this, accidents will hap
pen. A man running machine at
this high speed can not bring his
car to full stop in less than one
hundred feet and should he be ap-
preaching car track the chances
are fifty to one that If street car
is coming toward the same corner
there will be collision.
Then too, there are the lives OF
pedestrians and children playing In
the streets to be considered Almost
every day one may read in the news
paper of some man, woman or child
who has been killed by a speeding
automobile. These accidents are in-
variably the result of careless driving
and the fact that the car is going
too fast to be brought to a stop in
time to avoid running the people
down. An accident OF this kind is
bound to create sentiment against
auto owners in general and to arouse
the feelings of the public at large to
such an extent that 1t Is liable to &c
ratner nard with all transgresSors
against the speed law.
At present there are no proper
facilities by whicn the police may
catch speed maniacs but II people
will persist in openly breaking laws
made for the protection OF the pub
lie steps will be taken whereby the
Offenders may be apprehended. Should
this become necessary uhere will be
considerable trouble and expense
connected with speeding and to
avoid this and the inevitable acci-
dents local automobihsts, at least
should regulate the speed OF their
cars to conform with the law.

with this there is the set of eight tentacles.
which possess grips of iron and lined under
meath with suckers which, when in working
order, form vacuum over the object grasped
and thus insure firm hold.
So firm is this grasp that story tellers of
al decades ago were fond of dropping the treas
ure-hunting hero into the hold of the sunken
gaIeon and there bump him up against the ter
rible devil-fsh which had thwarted all human
wies and for umpty hundred years been the
guardian of the don's loot The hero always
and captured the coin, being dragged to the
surface unconscious
There have been one or two cases where the
cuttletish has made its home within the cabins
OF sunken ships In one case in particular OF
the northern coast of South America it is told
that devifish killed three divers who descend
ed to lay plans for raising the ship As each
brought to the surface dead from
cause which none of his mates could guess, an
other sent TO take his place. Finally the
trouble suspected and the last man sent
down gave explicit instructions about being
brought to the surface upon the faintest tug at
the guide line. After numerous trips up and
back he succeeded in dslodgng the creature
by cutting off its arms one by one Deprived of
its arms, it fed and further trouble was ex-
perienced. 4
Perhaps the most uncanny sight which ever
befalls the devil-fsh hunters is when. on a clear
day, the denizens of the deep may be seen on the
bottom walking along with the aid OF their
tentacles. which are used as feet On land, IL is
recorded this is physical impossibility, for the
fish, but buoyed up by the water of many faith
oms it's easy
Though absolutely the most dangerous of crea-
lures the sea. it is said the devilfsh displays
greater fear OF human attack than any of the
other species. The first move when assaiied, is
to try grab the hunters with two or more OF
the long arms that stretch out occasion de
mands Failing this the fish will attempt to
get away under of the inky "sepia but
when caught with the harpoon and it finds there
is no apparent escape the real tug of war COM
Inences and the struggles never ended until
the quarry ceases quivering in death Then the
cables which hold the harpoons are dashed to the
stern of the craft and the sailors turn the YES
sells nose towards home, the most welcome part
of the voyage
Study the habits and origin of the cuttlefish
is one of the most interesting which any scien-
fist ever attempted The fish propagated
by of eggs. The tiny creature at first has
only one tentacle which, when it grows older,
gradually divides into two and then into fonr
