The ancient Roman philosopher. Publius Syrus tells us that "Whom Fortune wishes to destroy she first makes mad" If the axiom still holds good in our day it Is pretty certain that Dame Fortune intends to destroy some of the advocates of the amend ment, for they are crazy as March hares. It hardly seems possible that men in their right minds would go about the State talking as some Of them are doing. We can only explain it on the theory that political de- struction has been designed for them

 This list does not by any means contain all the burdens laid on the American people in connection with living expenses. What we have given shows how all articles of food are taxed, and how much the American consumer must pay for the privilege of living in this country. This is the tariff law framed and pushed through Congress by the Payne -Aldrich com bination and endorsed and now de- tended by MT. Taft, and which. we are sorry to say, received the support of some Democrats.
 Of course the makers and defenders of this law put up the usual defense that these import duties are put on for the benefit of American growers and producers, but as usual the req soning is spacious and unfair, The producers do not comprise the entire no good reason why they should have special privileges at the expense of all consumers It is the same argument that is used to justify a protective tariff on all goods manufactured in the United States which tariff serves to build up and sustain the trusts and monopolies about which so much has been said. So it Is that when we sit down to eat almost any article of food or dessert that can be imagined We know that the protective tariff covers 1t and in most cases increases the price.

The Senator's Joke. Athens Courier.

Senator Hayes of Mooresville, is re- ported by the correspondent of The Age Herald at Decatur. as having stat ed in Decatur, that the majority for. tn e amendment in this county would be five hundred. The Judge was simply polk ing fun at the fellow who interviewed him If he made this wild and reckless ter reversed, as there Is no probability of the amendment even getting within five hundred votes in this county of a majority. Senator Hayes is too wise q politician to have been fooled this way.

besSemer. Oct. lZ, lS03. Editor The Advertiser.
 From what l can see and learn I am of the opinion, the amendment will be defeatei here by a small majority. but good news comes from the coun- try precincts.

Johnson. and he Is for the amend ment. that there was only two votes Tor the amendment and that was his brother and himself. From the re- ports that I hear 1t looks like the country beats are against 1t and about an even break in most of the cities excepting the larger ones and they are pretty strong against it.

The Old Water Mills.

Tuscaloosa Times-Gazette.
 The Gainesville Times announces that the fear of pellagra has caused several water mills to resume operations. 1tl Is pity that the fear of pellagra can not be more prevalent if 1t will bring about such a desirable state of affairs as the resumption of any appreciable amount of water mills. No steam mill seems ever yet to have been able to make meal to suit the man or woman accustomed to the water ground ar- ticles.
