His stomach Troubles Over.

Mr.. Dyspcptic, would YOU not like
To feel that your stomach troubles
were over, that you could eat any kind
of food YOU desired without injury
That may seem 50 unlikely to you
that YOU do not even hope for an
ending of your trouble. but permit us
To- assure YOU that il is not altogether
impossible. II others can hc cured
permanently, aud thousands have
been. why not YOU? John Il. Barker,
of Battle Creek, Mich. is one of them.

MANY TO VISIT COLUMBIA.
National Corn Exposition Will At
tract Attention of Sumter People.

Prospects are bright for a big
marching club to represent Sumter
in the South Carolina Day parade next
Tuesday at Columbia, the second day
of the National Corn Exposition. The
plan is to have a special train leave
here over the a. c. L. about o'clock
a. m, and take the band, and to march
with the band in the big parade that
Will represent the mercantile and
military elements of South Carolina.
AS the time is short to close ar
rangements with the railroad for cars,
all who wish to go on the special are
urged to ring up the Chamber of
Commerce at once
The cost of the round trip by spe-
cial train will be s2.0O per passenger.

premacy OF the Union the South)
seems assured for many years to
come"
Even the South's supremacy in cot
ton is assured by European authority.
and Mr.. Bendix makes the situation
all the stronger when he says that
1T is certain that Of all the land suit
able for cotton in the United States
tthe South), only a twelfth to a
fifteenth part is under cultivation"
with all this primary requisite as to
the matter OF cotton-growing lands,
Mr.. Bendix expresses surprie~ that
the South does not increase A., tton
crop. He plainly intimates that Eu-
rope desired that, but even if the
South does keep it's cotton production
in safe bounds it is gratifying to the
European manufacturers that the
South has eight times more cotton
land than is devoted to the crop. This
means that the South could easily pro-
duce more than 1OO,OOOOOO bales of
cotton if it were to U..''xe all its
cotton lands OF course, the .'0uth is
only going to increase it's cotton ro-
duction as the world is able to alb
sorb it, but it is a matter Of satisfac-
ton that the world can look forward
for centuries to the ability of the
South to furnish it with cotton.
In this article it is the purpose to
magnify the tremendously surprising
advantages Of the South for agricul-
ture-the agriculture of triple stand
ard, the agriculture of the greatest
variety Of crops, the agriculture that
leads the world in versatility of pro-
duction.
Why do 100000 Northen farmers
leave the United States and go to
country which grows only one-twen-
tieth of the crop products that can be
grown in the South? 1t is surely be-
cause they don't know of the Souths
immense soil versatility, vast produc-
tivity, and matchless climate. That is
our fault.

RAILROADS WIN VICTORY.
COURT PASSES on COMMISSIONS
RATE PRIVILEGE.
Commerce Commission Will Have to
SHOW UnrcasOnablcness of O,d
Rates Before Acting.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-The govern
ment on behalf Of the Interstate com
merce commission, today met defeat
at the hands of the supreme court OF
the United States in its attempt 70
establish in the commission a right
to make, without substantial evidence
being presented at a hearing to show
the unreasonableness of rates about
to be replaced.
At the same time railroads Of the
| country won an important point whe,
the court decided that in making
rates the commission could not rely
upon information gathered in inves-
tigation by the committee but must
base them upon evidence presented at
hearing where railroads would have
an opportunity to present their sid :
of the controversy.
In this limiting the power of the
commission the court declared that
the question Of whether any substan-
tial evidence mas been presented in a
case was one of law for the courts
such as the commerce court, to re-
view, and was not intrusted exclusive
ly to the commission.
Justice Lamar announced the
courts decision in a case involving
the validity Of an order reducing class
rates from New Orleans to Alabama
cities.
He quoted the governments posi-
ton, that the Hepburn law in pro-
viding that rates should be set aside
If, after a hearing, the commission
should be Of the opinion that the
| charge was unreasonable, meant that
the commissions findings as to un-
reasonableness of rates was not sub
Ject 20 review by the court.
The justice in reply pointed to tina,
! clause in the law which required a
full hearing" to be accorded and the
universal course Of decisions in this
| country that an administrative order
by the government was void If issued
without a hearing or If the hearing
| was inadequate or unfair.
He stated the governments further
contention that congress required the
| commission to obtain information tC
enable it to perform its duties and
that therefore, when it issued an or.
der, it was presumed to have obtained
information to support it's findings.
Such a construction" said the
, justice, would nullify the right to 9
hearing-for manifestly there is nc
hearing when the party does not
know what evidence is offered or con
sidered or is not given an opportunity
TO testify or explain or repudiate it
The information gathered may be
| used as the basis sor instituting pros
| ecutions for violations of the law
and for many other purposes but it i.
not available as such in cases where
the parties are entitled to a hearing
