THE REAL TROUBLE.

We have NO desire this morning to

We would call attention to the fact
hat at the present time many of its
strongest financial and commercial
Institutions of this country are on
he verge of either bankruptcy, or of
educing expenses to the extent that
thousands of men will be thrown out

Institutions solvent. In a general

'erhaps, this criticism is in meas

this last condition the people found
themselves facing series of hard

in that in the near future our corpor-

and will be SO executed, that the
average corporation will be guaran-

a short time our people will be will

have certain rights which must be
respected. The time for selling rail-

of $5,000,000 on a Sl,000,000 PROPOSE

words, we have about reached the

CUTTING SCRAPE
AT HARLAN MINES
MARY JANE TlNDELL USED BAR
LOW ON EUGENE LONG WITH
TELLING EFFECT.

With a trusty Barlow knife, whet-
ted to razor sharpness, Mary Jane
Ilndell, a negro woman, came very
near putting Eugene Long, colored,
out of business this morning about
the time the sun rose. 1t seems that
Eugene had not paid her all the at
tention that she thought she ought to
have in view Of her affection for him
and had bestowed a portion of his
love upon another lady about the
mines. Mary Jane became wise to
the situation and set out with her
knife to find him. When she did, she
started in to cutting, landing several
slashes around the throat, which ex-
tended from ear to ear. However,
they were not deep enough to be fatal
in effect.
Deputy Sam Harrison went out
after her and brought her to the city,
for trial. Upon being carried before
Esq. Alexander, she waived examine
ton and was bound over to the grand
jury under $1,000 bond. Failing to
make this, she was sent to Jail.

FULL EXPLANATION
STATE REGULATIONS
ABOUT HOG CHOLERA
DR.. O'cONNOR TAKES EACH OF
THEM ONE BY ONE AND IN.
TERPRETS 1T.
NOTHING SCARY ABOUT Then
They Are Simple Provisions Made by
State Veterinarian to Stamp Out
Cholera in this County.-Will Not
Work Har dsiip on Farmer.

So much confusion and misunder-
standing has arisen among the far
mers with regard to the quarantine
regulations that have been issued
by DR.. White, of the state depart
ment of agriculture, that DR.. O'Con-
nor, head of hog cholera station in
Columbia, has interpreted the seven
sections of them in very concrete and
understandable form.
The first section deals with the
placarding of premises. 1t may seem
to the hog owner hardship to have
to put a placard or sign upon his
fence or barn, but it is not. 1t is
simply a protection to the surround
ing neighbors which serves to keep
them from visiting his lots, thereby
having their shoes and other clothing
contaminated. In this way they would
carry home to their own hogs the
infection and would have to have
their own farms placarded.
1t is at the second section Of the
regulations that the farmer bcspmes
excited. It will do well to read them
carefully. If you have fifty hogs
on your place that have cholera,
your only hope lies in vaccination,
which will cost at least $50 or SIS II
done by a priv ate veterinary. Even
then you would rot escape the quar-

WAR PRICES THAT g
WERE SOME PRICES
VETERAN HEAD OF j. ROSEN-
THAI co. TALKS OF WHAT
THINGS COST IN 1864.

Talk about war prices; the recent
advances may look high, but when
one looks at the prices that had to
be paid fifty years ago. during our
great war he realizes that we know
nothing about high prices" This
Statement was made this morning by
William Boyd, the veteran head OF
the J. Rosenthal Company.
~ have just been looking over an
old price list of the John Y. FarWell
Company, of Chicago, of 1864, which
| have preserved" continued Mr..
Boyd, and the prices therein would
make the folks now howl with rage.
For example American prints, or cali
co as we call it now, was quoted at
torty-fye cents per yard. We retail
II at six cents. Lancaster gingham,
that We retail at ten cents, is quoted
at 1872 cents. Canton flannel at sew
enty-tive cents, denims at fifty cents,
and shifting at sixty-two cents, are
further examples. Good brown sheet
ing that we sell at six cents cost then
wholesale seventy-two and one half
cents, and 1O-4 pepperell sheeting and
pillow cases that we retail at thirty
I'VE cents cost $3.50 then. But the
olggest difference of all is in Coats

antine, as al cases must be report
ed to the state veterinarian, who IL

again goes up the quarantine. The
law is not hard. If read on farther
it will be seen tlat it says "for 9
period Of NINETY DAYS, or until
released by written order from tbs
state veterinarian" To beat this 9(
day clause, put the hogs where or
dered, clean Your place as per in
structions of DR.. Kord, and the re
lease will be forthcoming. Nothinc
hard about this, Is there?
The benefits derived from strict
compliance with the provisions of
the third section are so obvious that
no comment is necessary.
AS to the fourth section, long ex
pe,menting has proven that Cresol
Compound U. S. P is the only dis
infectant that Ian be relied upon for
hog cholera eradication, hence none
other is used il this work.
The fiftl, section is also self-ey-
planatory The benefits to be de-
rived are SO great in a sanitary
measure u,at, whether cholera exists
Or not, these precautions should be
observed.
As regards the sixth section OF
the rules and regulations, when a
farmer buys hogs outside of Maury
county, he naturally wants sound and
healthy hogs Now is the time for
the farmer to get this kind. By in.
sistiny that the seller shall have them
vaccinated in accordance with this
section, and holding them fourteen
days, thus allowing any of the al.
ready infected hogs to die, the farm
er thus escapes the loss that he
would have had had he brought them
home without treatment.
The seventh and last section has
to do with the sale of hogs at
slaughter pens and other stock yards
When hogs are hauled to the farmer
the owner can comply with the law
by simply cleaning the wagons, re-
moving all litter therefrom, and
washing them down with a go solu.

TENDER show" said DR.. Walter p.
Woodbridge this morning, in talking
of the show. He is very enthusiastic
about it and hopes to make of it as
great a success as he did of the stock
show in April.
The breeders are very anxious to
see a display of the colts by their
horses and jacks. 1t is the best adj
vertisement that they have of their
merits. 1t costs but little or moth
ing to get the colts in here, and so
they are urging their owners to bring
them so as to make creditable dis
play.
1T is but three weeks from today
that the show will be held here.
Hence would urge the owners or
colts, which they expect to enter in
the different rings, to begin to feed
them a little and get them in condi-
ton. A little extra feed for the next
few days will add wonderfully to
their condition. 1t will cost but lit
tie and nothing will be lost if they
do not get prize, as they have made
a good start toward getting through
the winter.
Many of the horse and mule men
are willing to offer season to their
stock as a prize. These are worth
from $40 to $50 each and are worth
any mans going after. There will be
hung up in addition to these prem
iums the Board of Trade sweepstake
offer Of $50.
