Our Meat Trust.

Our meat trust, which has seldom
met with anything like serious gov
ernmental opposition in this country
and which shows signs of being able
to have its own way in Argentina, is
likely to encounter rougher going in
London, where the English govern
ment is said to be preparing to apply
hot applications. The prospect that
the Chicago combination may mo-
nopolize the Argentine meat trade
there. and the rumor that it is get
ting it's hooks into the beef export
business in Australia are made sub
ject of parliamentary inquiry.
The fact is that the English are by
no means SO well broken to imposi-
tion as we are. They have not grown
accustomed in London to mortgaging

happen to want to buy a beefsteak,
and they have a wholesome horror
of the American prices. Apparently
they have taken the matter in hand
early enough to prevent the Ameri-
can monopoly from establishing itself
among them. But if London sue
ceeds in retaining the present mod
crate prices for Argentine and Aus
tralian beef the last excuse for charg-
ing higher prices in this country for
the same goods will disappear with
the withdrawal of the tariff.
There is going to be a fight for
cheaper meat here presently. The
success or failure of the London fight
for the same end will have a special
significance for that reason.

Mr.. Lind's Mission.

One naturally hesitates to indulge
in doubts as to the wisdom OF the
procedure of sending Mr.. Lind to
Mexico as the personal representa-
tive of President Wilson" While
there has been no outward evidences
of hostility since his arrival at the
Mexican capital it is feared that the
step may yet arounse open resent
ment on the part of the Huerta re-
gime, and fall far short Of a pacific
effect and inculcate distrust of gen
eral nature. Mr.. Lind may find his
position decidedly embarrassing. He
is without power to do anything
there for his countrymen who may
need help or influence, and it is not
improbable that he may be invited to
leave Mexico. If he does Mr.. Lind
will have to leave, and in such case
the United States would be humili-
ated by powerlessness to complain.
1t will not require much time to de-
eide whether the move was wise or

Alcohol is a transparent liquid re-
sembling water in appearance, but
different in other ways. Alcohol has
strong odor while water has not.
Water will quench the thirst, while
alcohol will only create a strong de-
sire for more.
A small plant called yeast is put
into the juice of grapes or apples,
making it sour and forming alcohol.
Sometimes the juice is left to fer
ment.
Cider is made from apples, rum
from molasses, gin from rye or bar
ley and beer from malt with hops.
Alcohol is very injurious, even if
taken in small quantities. When al
cohol is taken it seems to excite the
brain, and for this reason it is called
stimulant. Its action upon the
brain is opposite that of a stimulant,
for it dulls the mental powers. A
man who uses alcohol even moder-
ately cannot add up a column of fig
ures as rapidly and as accurately as
total abstainer. Some of our bright
est men have found that their power
of thought is dulled by taking even
small quantities of alcohol.
Alcohol is sometimes used as a
cure for Indigestion. If it is used
constantly for this purpose the user
will be affected in such way that
he cannot digest the food without
taking a little wine His constitution
will be like a horse that will not &c
unless the whip is applied.
In our blood are many small ami
mails called the white corpuscles or
phagocytes. These are to defend us
from diseases. If alcohol or tobacco
is used these phagocytes are weaken
ed and can easily be conquered by
the disease germs. If a king should
kill his bodyguard and then be as
isassinated would it not be his fault!
When we use alcohol or tobacco oul
bodyguards are weakened and We
need not expect to recover from al
diseases.
During the cholera epidemic il
Glasgow, Scotland, in 184S DR.. Ad
ans declared that ninety-nine out o
every hundred of his patients tina
used alcohol died, while only nine
teen out of ever yhundred total alb
. stainers died.
Many men believe that alcoho
warns them when they use it, Blu
the opposite is the case. Alcoho

Drought has cut down the pros
pective corn crop by at least $780,
900, 900 bushels, according to the de-
partment of agriculture's estimate.
The dry spell has been unusually
long, and has covered a wide terrific
ry. In some sections of the Western
corn belt the loss is said to have been
almost a hundred per cent. Georgia
corn has suffered to some extent
from the long, hot, rainless spell, but
of course conditions in this state
have not been nearly so bad as in

Fruits Of the Fee System

Thomas ]. lyman, warden Of the
Colorado penitentiary, says that the
fee system is responsible for many
men being in the penitentiary. He
claims that the desire to secure fees
is responsible for men being railroad
ed through the courts into the penal
servitude In speech in San Antonio
Governor Colquitt of Texas uited an
instance where ignorant Mexicans
were railroGded into the penitenti-
airy. and about $1,000 in fees col
Iected, when the facts upon investi-
CATION showed that these men were
not guilty They were just over from
Mexico, and could not speak a word
of our language.
The News agrees with Warden Ty-
nan and Governor ColQuitt about the
fee system. If the truth were known
the chaingangs of Georgia are full
of poor devils who would be enjoy
ing freedom if their conviction did
not mean money in the pockets of
officers. 1t is the same way when a
large reward is offered for the cap
ture of a criminal Evidence is often
manufactured, and many an innocent
person has been sent to the peniten-
tiary in order to secure the reward.

Alcohol and Tobacco
BY Homer Patterson. Of Dawson High School.

it when they wish. If they had known
at the beginning that they would be-
come addicted to the habit they
would never have started it. One
glass of whiskey creates a desire for
another.
Tobacco is a poisonous plant that
first grew in America When Column
bus came to America he found the
Indians using it. Walter Raleigh first
carried it to England, end even
Queen Elizabeth smoked it.
Although tobacco is not as injuri-
Gus as alcohol it generally leads to
drinking and causes many of our
young mems downfall.
The effects of tobacco are similar
to those of alcohol, although not as
great: Boys who use tobacco are not
as bright as other boys. Most of
them are billiards in school. Their
growth is stunted, and besides they
have formed a filthy habit. Tobacco
is of no value as a food. 1t handi-
leaps the development of the body.
It's excessive use by young men often
causes heart trouble. The tobacco
heart is well known to most physi-
clans. Insanity and even death are
often traceable to the tobacco habit
! The tobacco habit renders one dis
agreeable to others, and makes one
selfish. Most people who do not use
tobacco, women especially, find the
use Of it by their acquaintance very
disagreeab BILE. Cigarettes are the most
injurious of all the forms of tobacco.
Most people who use cigarettes in
hale the smoke and their lungs be-
coWe coated with carbon, which is
very poisonous. People who inhale
tobacco smoke have weak lungs and
each year large number of smokers
die of consumption as a result Of it.
Tobacco contains nicotine, which
is deadly poison. If cigarette leaves
are soaked in water and a drop of
the water placed on a mouse's tongue
the mouse will die If it will kill
a small animal what will it do to a
boy who smokes from ten to twenty
cigarettes a day? Boys use cigarettes
in preference to other forms of to-
bacco because of their cheapness. In
some of the states there are laws
prohibiting the sale of tobacco. Any
boy who buys tobacco causes some
one to violate the law, and therefore
does not do his duty to his state.

A quarter of a century or even a
shorter time ago people seemed to
have the idea that churches must
have great tall spires and a bell.
The present day sees a remarkable
change in this respect. Church stee-
pies and great tall towers are being
discarded. In former years the toll
ing of church bells for funerals was
quite common, but even this practice
is passing away. The church bell is
also rapidly disappearing.

You never can tell. By common
consent Mr.. Sheppard of Sumter is
the recognized leader of the prohibit
ton forces in the legislature. Yet,
he arose and made an eloquent plea
for the members to vote to refund
several hundred dollars tax money
to the Dawson near beer dealers. He
stated that it was not a prohibition
question, but one of simple justice.
And that is just about what it was.

Railway Deaths.

Final figures on railway accident
in the United States during the last
three months of 1912, just issued by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, places the number killed at
1857, the injured at 81, 1928 and the
total property loss through derail-
ments and collisions at $3,408,953.
The number of persons killed in
train accidents is $50, and of injured
ABA. To this, however must be
added 2,611 persons killed and 49,
1928 injured as a result of accidents
sustained by employees while at work,
by passengers getting on and off the
cars, by persons at highway cross
ings, trespassers and others more or
less indirectly associated with rail
way traffic. There were also LOG
persons killed and 2S,26O injured in
industrial accidents" to trainmen
and other employees.
During the three months there
were 1859 collisions and 2,135 de.
railments. A comparison of this
number with the total for the same
three months in four preceding years
shows that with the exception o
1911 the number of collisions anC
derailments is on the increase. Al
compared with 1908 there is a 48.i
per cent increase.

is not worth the amount charged

taxes On, while thousands more
acres have been escaping, till recent

land the company abondons, it will
