Mr., Carey being invited to make a
general talk spoke Of the complaints
of duh business in Cairo. He said
the iobbing trade had no cause to
complain for business generally was
good. This was true especially in
grain and lumber. He had made in

months l,20o cars more freight orig

But some will say that so cents on

it is all they are paying to the county

81 a Year in Advance.
Stop "Cassing" and Begin Think
ing

! Gentlemen who insist on "cussing''
the tariff for the high cost of living
should take copy of the new tariff law
in one hand price list of groceries and
meats in the other and inform them
selves. Maybe they will find what the
philosophers call food for thought.
And it isn't very high price for that
sort of food, either 1t is just a little
comparison.
For example, it will be noted that
the tariff rate has been increased on figs
pineapples, dates, hops, split peas,
grapes in barrels, buckwheat -four
and all of these things either remain
at the old prices or have been reduced
in cost to consumer.
And We only see one chance for the
cussing" gentlemen to reply. He
may say he doesn't care for hops any,
way.
On the other hand, the tariff has
been reduced on beef, mutton, bacon,
veal, pork, ham, barley, green peas,
dried peas, cream, starch, cabbage, lard
cornmeal and sugar, among other things
and on all these things, or nearly all of
them, the prices have gone up.
There is no question of the high
price of living. But it isn't fair to
charge the tariff with being the cause
oft. For the tariff doesn't do it-as
the facts and figures show.
Living costs more and more because
more and more people who produce
have quit producing and gone into the
consuming class. And there is little
hope of the cost of living getting
down to old-time prices until the tide
of population turns from the mills and
the cities, and the millions now depen-
dent on wages-or charity--turn to
taking care of themselves by raising
what they need for food, and a little
Tor the market.
Then things will get down to nor
not until then.-Salt Lake
City Herald"

SOME time back the county ex.
ecutive committee called a biz
Democratic rally for next Satur.
day, April No mention was
made Of what speakers would be
| present There are now hand billie
out announcing that Joe J. Russell,
former Congressman and a candi-
date for another nomination, will
speak in Forsyth on that date
Which puts some people to won
dering whether the county execu-
tive committee has fixed up this
''grand rally" for the benefit OF
Russell over the other asplrants
for the Democratic nomination for
Congressman from this district, or
whether Russell has simply sjump-
ed" the date thinking to take ad-
vantage Of the large cMowd and
to identify himself with the rejuv-
enation of the party in fancy TO
the disadvantage Of his Demo-
cratic opponents. However it
may be, we wish Joe all kinds of
luck and want to see him get the
nomination, for he will be the
easiest man beaten the Democrats
can put out. We have beaten
him twice and can do it again.

The Situation IN Taney.

| The Board of Equalization is in
session this week. If there ever
was set Of officials who had a
thankless job at small pay it is the
members Of that board. They are
meeting with all kinds of condem
nation from people who think they
are assessed too high. On the
other hand they are face to face
with the proposition that there
are certain expenses to meet and
that the money must be raised to
pay them. They have the assess
ors returns and they can estimate
very closely what the expenses
will be. Applying the rate of tax
alton to the amount Of the assess
ment they find that it is very
doubtful whether they can meet ex-
penses with the present assess
ment, let alone reducing it any.
There are some who say, "we
would like to know what the coun
ty court..doo with l the money tha,
is collected. Aye. there's the
rub. The very fellows who ask
this question are the ones ~ho
will not go to the trouble of look
ing up the record and see. No
court can work at it's best under
lot of unjust criticism. When
false statments are afloat it gives
the people false impressions
One Of the greatest needs in
Taney today is for thorough, true
understanding OF the circumstances
and conditions To this end we
are publishing in another column a
condensed statement of facts and
figures concerning the county's
finances, which may be verified
by an examination of the records.
We believe a close study of these
figures will convince any reason
able man that the county court is |
doing all that can be done under |
the circumstances.

Young Man Get Move On You.

! Young man, don't be cannibal. A
cannibal lives off of fellow man and
notice some young fellows who seem
to be perfectly willing to live off THEN
parents. They seem to have no par
ticular desire to either improve their
minds by study or to get out and hustle
| for themselves. ~
Of course either father or mother are
apt to be blamed in part. One or the
other has imbibed the erroneous i'm:
preston that son can't study or work
and son settles comfortably down to the
same belief.
There is a good bit of sympathy
wasted on the farmers boy who has to
hustle from early morn to dewy eve.
Well, possibly some of the farmer boys
have to put in too much time that way
but as a general proposition it doesn't
hurt 'em any and as between the boy
who is brought up with the idea that
it doesn't devolve on him to do any
hing and the one who has to work
an average of 10 hours day or maybe
more on the good old farm, he had
better be the boy on the farm.
The world doesn't owe any man
living. He is entitled to the right to
earn living for himself, but the mere
loafer is entitled to no consideration
whatever. Now there are good many
young fellows who are just common
loafers. They may have sort OF hazy
notion that some time in the future
they will do something provided some
BODY furnishes them with fine easy jobs
and high salaries but they have no ser
ious notion of really doing anything
that is worth while that will require any
exertion on their part. Well, after
while they will find that the soft jobs
ire not waiting for them and they will
rot be fit to fill any job that requires
either brains or skill.
If a young fellow doesn't show any
igns of getting down to business by the
ime he is 81 the chances are about
hree TO one that he never will amount
D anything. Furthermore, business
