Obituary

Friday, April 20, 1909 at noon Eli
jah r. Pendolph, aged SO years six
months and "a days, passed from this
world to the higher realms of light.
He leaves to mourn for him four
daughters, Mrs. Julia Long of Man

tween Sunderland and Sandgate, the
farm consisting of $50 acres which he
and his faithful wife bought during
the Civil war and paid for 1t mostly
by making spruce shingles, washing,
knitting and spinning wool.
There were eleven children in the
family. Laburto, the oldest. started
for the west to seek his fortune in the
year 1880, one is thought by his
friends to have been one of the vic
Tins of railroad accident that nap
pened about that time while on his
way west. Rossman and Rollin p

About six years ago Mr. Pendolph

LIFE OF A PIMPLE.
Compilations Are Cleared and Pimples
Disappear Overnight Without Trou-
BILE

BILE.
The dispensers of poslam, a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be Civ
en- that no one is urged to purchase
it without first obtaining an expert
mental package. Those who have
tried 1t will find that the flfty-cent
box on sale at w. l.. Gokay's and all
drug stores. is sufficient to cure the
worst cases of eczema, where the sur
face affected Is not too large. The itch
ing ceases on first application. 1t
will also cure acne, letter. blotches,
scaly scalp. hives, BARRIERS and every
other form of itch, including itching
feet. Being flesh colored and con
tanning no grease, the presence of pos
lam on exposed surfaces, such as the
face and hands, Is not perceptible.
Water and soap cannot be used in
connection with it, as these irritate
and prolong skin troubles, sometimes
even causing them.
AS to the experimental package of
poslam, it can be had free of charge
by mail of the Emergency Laborator-
les, 80 West Twenty-fifth street. New
York. 1t alone is sufficient to clear
the complexion overnight, and to rid
the face of pimples in twenty-four
hours.

LOCAL FREIGHT TRAFFIC

A Booming Business Is now Being
Done on Chatham Division
Never in the history of the town
has the volume of freight handled be-
tween here and Chatham, n. Y, been
larger than at the present time. Just
before the panic in 1907 business on
this division was greater than ever
before. Soon after the crash came
the number of cars which passed
through here daily dwindled away I'M
i'll not an extra" was run on the div
ision for several weeks.
During the past few months, how
ever, the amount of freight handled
has steadily increased. With the
opening OF navigation on the lakes
and rivers, this spring the flood OF
cars has reached its height. "Doub-
led headed" extras are run every
night and special trains besides the
day freights are sometimes also put
on to relieve the congestion of traffic.
Last Sunday the equivalent of five
trains was run with the total number
of cars moved amounting to over
eighty.
The greater part of the freight
which is handled on this division is
from New York consigned to points
near Chicago and the far west. 1t
consists for the most part of what is
known as stable or slow freight, in
contrast to the perishable or fast
freight which is delivered with ex-
press-like speed on the main lines.
Shippers using slow freight service
get a lower rate for large shipments.
In order to relieve the traffic on the
main line OF the New York Central
and Hudson River division freight
shipped to the west without any spec
ial need of hurry for its delivery, is
sent over the Harlan division to
Chatham and thence to this town.
From here it goes north to Alburgh
land is later sent over the Ogdensburgh
division to Ogdensburgh. Here 1t is
loaded onto boats of the Rutland Tran
sit company subsidy corporation OF
tne New York Central lines which
runs steamers from Ogdensburgh to
Duluth, Mich. Chicago and other
points west via of the st. Lawrence
river and the great lakes.
That the condition of the country
in general is shown TO a fair degree
of accuracy by the number OF freight
cars in use, can easily be believed by
those who have taken notice of the
local conditions during the past two
years. The present volume of bust
ness may be used to show that we
are on the verge of a period more
prosperous If possible than ever be
fore.
Local merchants also reap a benefit
from increased railroad traffic. To
run the average freight train it takes
five men which means at present that
the company retains about rs in this
service here at present All these
employees receive good wages and are
as a rule generous good living class
of men who spend large portion of
the wages among local business and
hotel men. Many of the crews come
from Rutland and put up at the local
hotels and boarding houses.
II Is the general opinion among the
railroad men that the company In.
tends soon to use large mogul freight
engines between Chatham and this
town in order that more cars may run
on each train. About IL loads is the
limit for the type of engine now used
TO carry over the Summit.

The Man to Be Watched.

Always suspect man who affects
great softness of manner, an unrrf-

These thinss are all unnatural, ard

His Italian Tour.

The trip across was rather slow;
recollect the boat rolled so.
Really, we were scarcely able
To keep cards upon the table.

packs
And had to pay a custom tax.

One couldn't see the dummy we'll
don't remember Rome. Oh. yes,
That's where | took that Club finesse
When playing with Lord What's-his-

1t saved two tricks and won the game.

One hundred aces, in my hand;

The railroads? Say, don't talk to me
OF railroading in Italy!
It's quite impossible to play;
You run through tunnels all the way.
Venice is nice-but damp, you know,
The cards all stick together so.
At Genoa we took the ship
And ended out Italian trip.
Travel, of course, improves the mind.
But, just the same, | am inclined
To think you find as many dubs
Playing abroad as in our clubs.

MEANS AN END OF LIBERTY
IT Plea Of Monopoly Is to Be Needed
Then the Trusts Are Greater
Than the Government.

Whenever the courts are about to
put corporation or trust like the
Standard Oil Company .up tree" the
plea OF the trusts is, that ''if you inter-
fere with our business you will throw
lot of men out of employment" This
phase of the situation not only pre-
sents moral question but an eco
nomic one. The mandate of the
trusts in that they must be allowed to
violate the law or thousands of men
will be thrown out of employment All
the people must be robbed or a portion
of them must seek employment else
where. An invading army from for
eign country could make the same
plea, and with as much consistence.
1t Is said that the Standard Oil Com
pany furnishes oil to street railways
and factories, and If 1t Is put out of
business all the men and women en-
ployed by these will be thrown out of
work. To cause these people to be
thrown out of employment would be
sad indeed. The Standard Oil mag
mates know this and they appeal to the
public and the business interests" to
prevent such calamity. THE people
must submit to being robbed, we must
be allowed to violate the law, or these
comparatively few working men and
women will be thrown out of employ
ment." This is the ipse dixit, the ulti-
matum announced by the trusts. The
basic principle of good government is
"the greatest good for the greatest
number" Shall the public listen to
liberties of the whole be bartered
away for the temporary convenience
of the few? 1t were better that the
Standard, Oil Company be blotted from
the face of the earth than one iota of
the liberties of the people surrendered
to 1t. A trust like the Standard
oil is too big for any country. Its power
in the business world irrestib1e? 1t
defies the laws with impunity. 1t die
tates to railroad companies, strong as
they are, what rates of freight 1t shall
pay to transport its own cars over
their lines. Even when the courts of
the country are inclined to prosecute
1t. and refuse to be coaxed, bought or
bulldosed, their efforts to bring this
company to justice have in most In
stances failed. Somehow and in some
way 1t can find loophole to let it out
of close place in which just Judge
has put it. II the pleas above referred
to are to be needed, then it is evident
that the trusts In this country have be-
come greater than the government,
greater than liberty itself. and the
days of the republic are numbered.

BEGINS TO LOOK PROMISING.
Cotton Warehouses in Tennessee Are
Displaying Eagerness to Join
the Federation.

The work of federating the ware
houses in Tennessee goes on apace,
and satisfactory work is being accom-
plished. A majority Of them have
signed articles of federation. Most of
the large ones have fallen in line.
Meetings have been arranged for sew
eral within the near future, when it Is
hoped that they will join hands with
the others. The warehouses can never
accomplish their full purpose In an
Independent capacity, and If all Is
done that should be, they will get to-
gether. We need every one of them
in the federation. 1t is the duty of the
union to market their cotton, but they
cannot do it unless they get together
states are putting their warehouses
under one management, thus present
ing a solid front to the enemy.
Sufficient financial assistance has
been secured to carry all the cotton
that may be stored where the grower
wants an advance at very low rate
of interest. Advances will be made
in the local warehouses. The fedora
tion expects to sell the cotton stored
from the warehouses, thus selling di-
rect to the consumer. We cannot ac-
complish this without we all pull to-
gether. Thousands of dollars can be
| saved on all the stored cotton by rea-
son of this combination So far we
have been met by the business world
in the most friendly manner, with the
assurance that the federation will re-
ceive all the encouragement and help to
make it success. The officials of the
| warehouses that have not Joined
should get together at once and take
action on the matter, for If the union
fails to market their cotton this fall,
upon them will rest the blame.
Hundreds of farmers have already
| signed the pledges to market their
cotton through union channels. l get
| patches of them in almost every mail.
Let every union man go to work and
see that his neighbor patronizes union

Raise more vegetables.

Raise more vegetables.
You have a good home market for
all your surplus bacon.
Try a patch of sorghum and make
your own molasses.
Once try diversified farming and the
cotton acreage will reduce itself.
The more you study the science of
farming the better you will like it, and
the more profitable it will become.
Bacon is a money crop that beats
cotton, and you can make it without
investing in lot of machinery.
Shipping hogs to the packing houses
In the north to be slaughtered, and
then having the meat shipped back to
you, is mighty poor business transac-
tion
If you raise your living at home you
will not be in debt for 1t In the fall,
and it will be an easy matter to hold
your cotton.
Pick out the best and most success
full farmer you know and then get on
good terms with him. Have him to tell
you how he did it. If he belongs to the
union, have him to tell it at the local
meetings.
A farmer may have whole lot of
sense about raising cotton and still be
densely ignorant about selling it, That
is the main reason why the cotton
farmers are now selling cotton at less
than the cost of production.

Confiscation.

The plea of confiscation which the
railroad companies are making NAV
become a two-edged sword. If it Is
good for the railroad companies It
ought to be good for the people. The
railroad companies receive the largest
share of many things that are shipped
to market. They SO classify freight
that they receive three times as much
for shipping car of one class as they
do of another, over the same line and
to the same market The principle
OF this is probably correct If carried
out properly, as some products will
bear heavier rate of freight than
others. But this principle is not fol-
lowed strictly by the railroad COM
panies. Their general policy is to take
all the traffic will bear. In many in.
stances they take more than the traf.
fic will bear. That is, they put such
heavy rate on freight that it reduces
the price which the producer receives
to less than the cost CT production,
This is confiscation, and of course
unconstitutional. When the railroad
companies make the plea Of confisca
ton they are playing with a boom
erang.
