VARDAMAN'S UTTERANCES IN THE
SENATE.

Discussing the resolution contin-

measure in the Senate, FRIDAY De.
cember l7th, 1915. Senator Varda-
man said:

the enactment of the law a year
ago. the life of which is now
sought to be extended by this reso-

believe it to have been prudent for
Congress to have reduced appropri-
ations. or. rather. to have made
the appropriations suit the income
which our general revenue laws
would have produced, without re-

now, that sIch course would have
been best for the American people
and in accord with Democratic
platform promises The people Of
the State whom | have the honor in
part to represent in this Chamber
were not in condition then, nor are
they now, to bear the taxation
which this law imposes The
South is the only section of the
Republic whose people have suffer.
ed pecuniarily on account of the
European war They have suffered
Rrievously. The stagnatinn of
business in the fall of 1914 on ac-
count of the war caused the pro-
ducers of cotton to be forced to
sell il for less than one-half of its
real worth. The embargo put up
on cotton by Great Britain this
year has robbed the cotton grow.
ers of not less than 80 per cent of
the value of their product. | do
cot think this administration has
done what it should have done for
the relief of the southern cotton
farmer But those matters have
happened. they are things of an
unhsppy past, and cannot be helped
now. The wrong has been int1ict-
I'd and the southern people are
bearing the injustice with patriotic
fortitude. The obligations of the
Cover ment Of the United States
must be met Liabilities as
sumed under the law are debts of
horror which must be paid The
only immediate source of revenue
is through the operation of this
law, and it expires by limitation

there is nothing left for me to do
except to vote for the resolution
which exteLds Its life for year.
1t has been suggested that the rev.
enue derived from this law may be
used for preparedness " Mr..
President, il thought that one
dollar of the money to be raised
by this measure would go for
pre- paredness as that term is
understood. | should not vote for
the resolution. But to meet an
emergency, to enable the Govern
ment to absolve promptly obliga-
tiuns, | shall vote for the resolu-
tion, and for that reason only"

1.-THE Puritan Sabbath of old
left a mark on the characters OF
the observers that has never been
wholly eradicat9d--a sternness as
to duty which must always be a
foundation stone in character
building" But in place of "the
sternness of duty, it seems to US
the law of Iove-of gratltude-of
inspiration and aspiration might
we'll be substituted True refine
mept, true culture, true Christian
ity calls for the observance Of the
Sabbath Day because the Lord
"blest the Sabbath Day and hsllow-
ed it,; and His followers. who
would be like Him, realize that
Christ was the highest type OF
gentleman as well as the Savior of
mankind. The Day of Days should
be fittinRIy spent because Of Love
no outy is hard or stern where
Love is the inspiration to it.

War Upon Pain,

Pain is visitor to every home and
usually it comes quite Unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every en-
ergency if you keep a small bottle Of
Sloan's Liniment handy. 1t is the
greatest pain killer ever discovered.
Simply laid on the skin-no rubbing
required-it drives the pain away.
1t is really wonderful.
Mervin n Soister, Berkeley, Cal. +,
writes: "After tramping around the
Panama exposition with wet feet, l
came home with my neck so stiff that
l couldn't turn. l applied Sloan's
Liniment freely and went to bed. To
my surprise, next morning the stiffness
had almost disappeared, four hours
after the second application. was as
good as new"

1t is high and deserved COM
plimeEt the senate caucus has paid
Senator Oscar W Underwood of
Alabama in breaking precedent and
making a place for him On the IL
nance committee. which is the sem
ate equivalent Of the house ways

no vacancy in the committee, and
the caucus solved the problem by
creating an additional membership.
Mr.. Underwood's fine record in
handling tariff matters made it de-
sirahle to have him on the senate

paid Mr.. Underwood a handsome
tribute and at the same time
strengthened the finance commit.

Cure Hog Cholera.

The word cure is seldom used in
connection with hog cholera. Why?
Because of the frequent failures. But
we use the word ''cure" and guaran-
tee that B. A. Thomas Hog Powders
will cure 80 hogs out of 100. The re-
cord today is but little over 95 out
of every 100, so we guarantees 80.
We don't care what others may
think or say. We know what we are
doing and will sell you B. A. Thomas
Hog Powder, guaranteeing that it will
save out of 10 hogs. 1t is medicine
straight medicine. 1t is because it's
straight medicine that 1t cures 95
times in 100. T. G. Barge, Brookhav-

Why You Should Use chamberlaIn's
Cough Remedy.

Because it has an established rep
utation won by its good works.
Because it is most esteemed by those
who have used it for many years, as
occasion required, and are best ac-
quainted with its good qualities.
Because it loosens and relieves a
cold and aids nature in restoring the
system to healthy condition.
Because it does not contain opium or
any other narcotic.
Because it is within the reach of all.
1t only costs quarter. Obtainable

OUR NEIGaBORS HAVE TROUBLES OF
THEIR OWN-EDITOR HOLDS
UP HIS END.

There amt no flies on Joe
Dale"!
Mr.. Dale published last week
statements brought out by the
Board of Supervisors of Lawrence
County on the officiail record of The
County Superintendent. Mr.
White took umbraRe at the editor
who says after "a heated debate
with him on the street,
Had he approached US as gen
tleman, and not as a bully, he
might have had the privilege oi
presenting his case to the public
through the columns of the Press
He sought to take advantage OF
our size by endeavoring to intimi.
date and humiliate US. which is tht
part of the coward and the bCfoon
The humiliation part is Of no con
cern-a newspaper man gets used
to it-but Mr. White is not going
to intimidate US by threats If he
really thinks he can do this he has
our number down wrong
Three cheers for Dale's spirit
The Leader knows by experience
what little pleasure newspaper
takes in publishing facts that re-
feet on a man and. yet that the
public should know. The Offend
ing man never blames himself fol
his shortcoming, if il be that; but
always the editor who found it out
and has every reason to believe il
true, and publishes it from a sense
of duty to the people-a.though
the matter be passed on by Board
or Jury or what-not before pre-
vious publication.
We hope Mr.. White can make
clear showing of his side of the
case regardless; and. our word fol-
it, if he does Joe Dale will be
brave enough to publish it if re
quested in the proper manner.
Mr. Dale says
God knows we are as willing
to correct wrong as any man, anC
would he the last person on earth
to do any one an injustice, when il
is pointed out to US in the proper
spirit. There was nothing in oul
article last week that justified Mr.
White approaching US in the man
rer he did. He was expecting ar
editorial comment and we handled
