criminals punished by Jail sentences, just as
other law breakers are punished.
Senator Smith voted and spoke to strike
out that part Of the law.
Vardaman's idea was overruled, and
Smiths prevailed.

How the Cotton Situation Can
BE Immediately Re-
IieVed.

/ liz man VINO D0IleVeS that we can get out
Of the hole we are now in, by agreeing
not to dig one next year, may not be crazy,
nor damphool, but he's long way from
common sense.
The cotton situation boils itself down to
this
We have got too much cotton, and not
enough money.
The world hasn't got too much cotton, but
qoe have
What we need, is money to hold our cotton
until the world wants it bad enough to pay
fair price for it,
We need the money to buy food, pay debts,
and keep business alive.
The cotton won't spoil, won't rot, won't
eat its head off, and won't become useless.
1t is just about the most durable and valua-
bic stuff you could have
But we can't eat it, nor drink it, nor pay
debts with it at present prices.
That noble old Roman, Col. w. L. Peek,
suggests Stay law. All right. Colonel; that
will ease up at one end of the line but it will
be tough on the other. The man who sold
things on credit has some rights, too, you
know.
Then, again, how's poor man to feed his
family with a Stay law?
So, you See it comes back to the proposition
that, We NEED MONEY!
~ The Government could Immediately
issue Greenbacks under the laws Of 1868.
(2) The Government could Immediately
repeal the 10 per cent tax on State-bank notes.
and allow the local banker to supply local
needs.
(3) The Government could at once pass
the Henry bill, or something similar. and put
the farmers upon an equality with the rag
bag capitalists who deal in commercial paper
a. The people could form Screven
County associations in every county, and meet
local demands with local currency.
The best lawyers in Savannah have passed
on the Screven County plan. and have pro-
nounced perfectly sound and legal.
THIS IS nome I1DE RELIEF WHY
Nor 60 ron IT?
Gentlemen, [ don't want to hurt anybody's
feelings, but it seems to me that there are
more grown men talking like excited children
about this cotton situation than ever twaddled
nonsense before.
The South is the natural cotton, country.
The soil soon sicl1ens of any other crop. It
never gets sick of cotton
Wheat viii rust and blight: corn will smut
and rot: oats Will lose vigor, and melons re-
fuse to flourish but cotton is the same old
thing, on the same ground, year in and year
out If you put back on the land as much as
you take away.
Isn't it so?
Then why penalze and abuse and handicap
the farmer with artificial restrictions?

go to Hades with your baby talk!

Htde0us Secrets of Underground
Dungeons I'm Roman Cath
Ollie Churches.

Ollie Churches.
IN the Pittsburgh, Pa. The Gazette Times
"a daily paper) appears the following dis
patch:
Monterey, Mexico, Oct. IA dispatch from
the City OF Mexico says
Acting on secret information that the historic
Santo Domingo Church was being used as a
storehouse for arms and ammunition by the OPP
ponents of the consttutionalist government mill
tary authorities took possession of that edifice,
arrestlng members Of the clergy and many
shippers
Search revealed a cavern under the main altar
which was filled with partly decomposed bodies of
men who had evidently met violent deaths The
identity of the victims of the alleged political
plot has not been established More than 500
rifles and quantity of ammunition found
concealed in the church"
All over the world the larger Roman Cath
Ollie churches have these underground cav
erns.
What for?
The Vatican, where the head men of the
Pancake God reside in all their glory, has
these underground hell-hoes
What for?
Every great monastery, convent, and cathe-
dral has them.
What for?
Nobody can pretend that such secret cham
bers, unknown to the average Catholic and
known only to the insiders who rule those
institutions, are necessary to the worship OF
God
The Catholics do all their funny work
holy water, lighted candles, altar boys, chant
Ing, sermonizing, making God out of the pan
cake, eating this God and so forth-in the
main body of the church.
The Catholics, of the rank and file don't
know any more about those underground
places and doings than you do.
What is the purpose of those mysterious,
hidden dark vaults which no eve from the
outside ever sees, and from which no sound
comes to the outside ear?
Erasmus, the Catholic scholar, declared
that crimes were common in these under
ground vaults.
Every ex-priest and ex-monk, and ex-nun
has corroborated the great Erasmus.
Similar facts were brought to light when
the British Parliament sent commissioners to
overhaul these popish hell-holes.
Similar facts were revealed when the Grand
Duke of Tuscany lifted the lid off the Italian
nunneries
Similar facts were uncovered in Spain, Por-
tugal and France.
Maria Monks awful story does not contain
a single statement that has not been corrobo-
fated by the unimpeachable records of official
Investigations, Oy the concessions OF SecederS
from the Roman church, and By the Bulls
and Letters aohich Popes, aoho tried rain5y to
reform the priests, hare issued against the
widespread conceptions and crimes Of the RO-
man Catholic czergy.
Who were the victims killed in the Roman
Catholic church of Mexico City?
We will perhaps never know.

Two Senator'S From the South.
president WILSON has signed the So
called Antitrust bills which Congress
passed.
A powerful lobby worked with members Of
Congress until the teeth of the bills were
pulled.
That is, the clauses IN the bills eohich put
Jail sentences on rich criminals qcere knocked
out
While the proposition to take these teeth
out of the bills was pending in the Senate,
two Of the Southern Senators made speeches.
Senator Vardaman of Mississippi, spoke as
follows:
Mr.. Vardaman. Mr. President, I shall con-
sumo but q moment of the time of the Senate in
discussing this matter but [ believe that if
are to prevent combinations in restraint Of trade,
and eliminate trusts from the economy Of this
Government we have got to enact criminal
make it improbable for the violators Of the law.
I believe that in cases of that character
The fear O. hell s a hangman's whip
To baud the wretch in order
can see no possible harm that is going to
result to the American people from the punish
ment Of men for the violation of this economic
principle and very proper and necessary law. II
We not going to do that might just
well have nothing There is no twilight zone in
the realm of morality. Men know when they
1OiY
ing the law, and when they deliberately violate
the law they ought to be punished for it, If the
trusts writing this bill they would not OPP
pose the committees amendment.
l am very heartily in favor Of the penalty
which prescribed by the House of Repre-
sentatves in this bill, and 1 shall vote against
striking it out
Senator Smith of Georgia spoke as fol-
lows:
Mr. Smith of Georgia. Mr. President, I only
wish to say, in voting for the committee amend
ment, that this prohibition is against con-
duct that eliminates or substantially lessons COM
petition between the corporation whose stock is
acquired and the corporation making the acQui-
sition. 1t is not a definite and specific act that
is named in such way that I think punishment
by a criminal process ought to follow. 1t seems
to me that when there is sufficient for doubt
as to what is and what is not violation of the
law the farest course to pursue is by legal pro-
cedure to ascertain and enion the violation.
That was the view of the majority Of the judi
ciary Committee, and that why thought
it harsh to proceed by criminal statute to
punish conviction when the act itself was not
one absolutely specific, and where there line
of violation and nOnvioatiOn open for investiga-
tion and consideration
Mr.. Reed. Mr.. President, I should like to ask
the Senator a question Is this law a particle
more indefinite in any respect than the term
restraint Of trade, or monopoly was at the time
the Sherman Act passed?
Mr.. Smith of Georgia. [ am not sure that it
is; and I also know that for a long time nothing

eat good, plain, substantial
food, and sleep-my! how one

Der. Ed Bush, who lives in the
Oak Ridge neighborhood southwest
of Shel5ina, recently cut down
giant sycamore that measured ID
feet at the base and 10 feet, seven
inches at the top of a 46-foot cut.
The tree was almost perfectly round
and as straight as an arrow There
were no broken branches on the
tree from the base up to the 46-fOot
cut. A part of the tree will be con-
verted into a sorghum press after
being dressed down and made into
round rollers that will be used as
a press into which will be fed the
cane.
Had the log been worked up in
to lumber, Mr.. Bush would like
to know how a sawyer could have

This is What Takes Courage.

1t takes great strength to bring your
life up square
With your accepted thought and
hold it there,
Resisting the inertia that drags back
From new attempts to the old hab-
it's track.
1t is so easy to drift back, to sink;
So hard to live abreast of what you
think.
1t takes great strength to live where
you belong
When other people think that you
are wrong,
People you love and who love you
and whose
Approval is a pleasure you would
choose.
To bear this pressure and succeed
at length
In living your belief-well, it takes
strength
And courage, too. But what does
courage mean
Save strength to help you bear a
pain foreseen!
Courage to undertake this lifelong
strain
OF setting yours against your grand
sire'5 brain;
Dangerous risk of walking lone and
free
Out of the easy paths that used to
be,
And the fierce pain of hurting those
we love
When love meets truth and truth
must ride above?
From "Heroism," by Charlotte
Perkins Gilman.
