EVERYBODY FOR HIMSELF.

This is a homely and not very
polite old saying: Everybody
for himself and the devil take the
hindmost," and applicableness of
which to human nature and pres
ent conditions finds constant illus.
tratlon.
lake tbs present discussion of
aud efforts to frame the new tariff
law. The people clamor for a re-
duction of rates, that in the aggre-
gate of these reductions the tax
burdens may be enlightened. Yet
everybody wants the present high
rates on the special articles in
which they are most interested
maintained, or, if possible, in
creased. The Southern people,
almost to q man, are opposed to a
protective tariff, yet the cotton
growers want a tariff on cotton,
the rice growers on rice, the lum-
Der men on lumber. Carnegie and
the Northern steel magnates favor
a reduction of the rates on steel
and Southern producers oppose it,
because such o reduction would
operate to the advantage of the
North and against the South
Everybody wants a lover rate on
sugar except the sugar trust, and
the sugar trust wants lower rate
on everything except sugar. So it
goes-everybody in this tariff re-
adjustment wants other things
free but protection for his own
products. So it is in everything.

FLORIDA ORANGES To BE MAR.
KETED DIRECT.

Henceforth the Florida orange
crop will be marketed direct, &C.
cording to J. G. Swinging, presi-
dent of the Florida Fruit and
Citrus Growers association.
"The orange crop of Florida this
year." he said, will exceed that
of any other year since 1895, and
we will produce half as much as
the entire crop of California. For
years We have submitted to the
abuses of brokers who practically
regulated the market, making big
profits, and keeping up the prices
of oranges. From now on, we will
market the Florida output direct,
and this will reduce the price Of
oranges 40 per cent. Before this
fight is over, oranges will be sell
ing at the rate of three for five
cents, instead of five cents apiece. :"

AN ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
Mel Benedict, a Rigggold County
Farmer, Dies from the Fumes
of Chlor0form at Lamont.

Mel Benedict, a farmer living six
miles west of Lam oni, died in the office
OF the Barr hotel at Lamont last We'd
nesday evening, the result of inhalipg
.chloroform.
Benedict was under the influence of
liquor at the time of his death. He had
gone to Blythedale, Mo-, the previous
day where he imbibed pretty freely and
on Wednesday hired liveryman to
drive him to Lamont instead of taking
the train, arriving at Lamont about 2:30
o'clock, only a few minutes before he
could have reached there on the train.
When he reached Lamont he went to
the hotel and was suffering from fear
ful headache and telephoned to physi-
clan, complaining of his headache and
asking for some chloroform which was
sent to him. He then went to drug
store and purchased two ounces more,
which he poured on his handkerchief and
placed the handkerchief and his over
coat on the arm of chair and buried
his face in the handkerchief, and soon
after was dead. A travelling man was
seated near him but did not notice any,
thing wrong until Lew Rhoades, a
boarder at the hotel came into the office
and shook Benedict, when it was dis
covered that he was dead, having died
without a struggle. The deceased leaves
wife and several small children. He
was man about sixty y, ars of age, we'll
respected and his only fault was his
drinking. He was buried near his farm
in Ringgold county on Thursday.
