Wbitwsll business men are consider
ably exercised over the way the scnool
district measure was swung up agalnsS
them. Several impractical ideas con-
tanned in it, it set them up in arms.
They believe that the only way to get
a proper government of schools, Streets
sidewalks, business, ETC.. In town IS
to incorporate, and the majority OF
Whitwell business men say they would
much rather have bill to that effect
than to have this special school Dill
passed. However. we believe from
the tenor of Representative Wilson's
short letter to us that he does not de-
size to take snap judgement over the
majority of Whitwell people in defer
ence to the wishes Of a few, and TO
that end asked the News to publish
the rather lengthy bill last week.

The free sugar movement knocked
spots out of the men who invested
their money in the beet sugar indus
try. They will be glad to sell their
holdings for SOC on the dollar or less.
And are you getting any more sugar
for the dollar than you did under the
tariff. True, the tariff is not entirely
off vet, but looks like sugar ought to
be cheaper, and only last summer it
went to nearly Sc pound. wholesale.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
andthat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an lnflamed con,
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound Of
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is theresult, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nihe cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces
We will give One Hundred Dollars

What Is a Fair Rate?

We do not know what constitutes a
basis for rate making and have never
heard of anyone who did claim to
know much about 1t, but If the pros
perity of the farm is factor to be
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that 1t come to us through articles of
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
hogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and farm
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and -four. We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same. and machinery.
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of increase.
The increase In rates should be 80
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part Of the bur
den. but let the farmer who boards
IN other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands.
pay the price of bis folly.

RATE INCREASE
NECESSARY
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products of Plow and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should Be
Exempt From Increase.
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase in freight rates in the eastern
classification Of territory; the applica-
tion of the roads to state and inter
state commissions for an increase in
rates, and the utterances of President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities of the
United States are inadequate to eff
fectively meet the demands of com
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. If in the wis
dom of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an improvement in our
transportation service, and an extern
sion of our mileage, then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer is
willing to share such proportion OF
the increase as justly belongs to him,
but we hayessome suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines of Least Resist.
ance.
The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re-
sistance. The merchant, the manu-
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ
lied tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad COM
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing in which their business is
involved.
The farmer Is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to en-
ploy counsel to develop his side OF
the case and, as a result, the products
of the pillow bear an unequal burden
of the freight expense. A glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product of the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate OF
any necessary commodity in COM
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as whole is out of pro-
portion with that Of the products OF
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule Of rates, but
hope the commission win be able to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without levying
a further toll upon the products OF
the pillow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.

De STATE HIGHWAY
BOARD CREATED At
NEXT LEGISLATURE.

TALANTA, Ga, Dec. 16.--The next
session of the Georgia legislature will
see, in all probability, a state highway
commission created, as a result of the
cooperation of all interested forces
in the state, and as the elimination
of the efforts of good roads enthusiasts
and the commercial organization Of
Georgia Working to that end, Presi-
dent Charles J. Haden of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, announces the
appointment Of a special committee TO
prepare and submit bill which viii
include the best points of all previous
bills which have failed of adoption.
This committee consists Of Chas, L.
Davis of Warm Springs: Judge Moses
Wright. Of Rome. president OF the
Rome Chamber Of Commerce, and
good roads worker whose efforts have
had effect throughout Georgia; AMI
John A. Smith of Gainesville, super
visor of road construction in Hall
county, who is devoting his life to the
building Of good roads, and has given
the subject exhaustive study. This
committee is so enthused over the pos
sibilities of benefits tot the entire state
through the building of highways Of
the most permanent type and the CO.
ordination of the lines through the va
rious counties so as to link them into
great arteries of travel and commerce,
that they will get to work Immediately
and spend a great deal of time be-
tween now and the time the legisla-
ture convenes next summer in work
ing out the best possible bill for the
OF georgia.
AS a feature that will add to the
of the public in good roads,
as we'll as being of great convenience
and benefit to autoists, the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce will issue,
about January LIST, the first complete
and up-to-date route-book of all high
ways in Georgia, every route being
covered by mile-by-mile logging cor
rected up to the hour.

The speaker pointed out that the

Yucatan ENJOY Asks The u. S.
To Assist Mexico In Her Work
demonstrating The Country

CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. 16.-Am-
erican cooperation in Mexico's recon
struction was urged upon the members
of the Southern Commercial Congress
here today by Dr.. Victor A. Rendon of
Yucatan, who said the people of Mex
leo desire the help of the American
people lin demonstrating the country
and restoring the prosperity which its
vast resources entitle it to enjoy"
Dr. Rendon is general attorney for
the Commission appointed by the gov
eminent of Yucatan to regulate the
sisal hemp market of that state, where
three-fourths of the entire population
are engaged directly or indirectly in
the sisal hemp industry The Commits
sion's main object has been to break
up the monopoly of the henequen, or
sisal hemp market, which DR.. Rendon
said had been in existence for the past
twelve years in the interest of the In
ternational Harvester Company and
the Plymouth Cordage Company of
Massachusetts and which he declared
had restrained the people of Yucatan
from enjoying economic independence.
1t was through capital from South
ern bankers and business men that the
government Commission in Yucatan
had been able to fight the monopoly,
and aside from thanking Southerners
for their assistance, DR.. Rendon said
that this aid was a concrete illustra-
ton of the way in which the American
people could help Mexico now that
the revolution was happily nearing a
triumphant termination"
Some of those whose exploitation
of Mexico has been carried on at the
expense of the poor people," he said,
are American corporations, but I am
Pleased to say they are few compared
with the thousands of your country
men who have come amongst us with
the purpose to devote themselves to
tie earning of an honest livelihood.

Bullet and Lawsuit
Prominent Figures
Ohio Love Affair

FINDLAY.. Ohio, Dec. 16.-Attor-
neys for Miss Ada Warner, 40 years
old, filed an action against Norris H.
Powell, A, claiming damages of $10,-
600 for alleged breach of promise to
wed Miss Warner.
Sheriff Kennedy has a warrant
signed by Powell, which he is waiting
to serve on Miss Warner, charging
her with shooting with intent to kill
him. The shooting took place two
weeks ago.
Both the heat balm action and the
shooting followed a twenty-year
courtship, said to have been carried
Oil by Powell and Miss Warner.
The petition charges that Powell
asked Miss Warner to wed three
weeks ago, Miss Powell appeared at
his bedside one night and shot him,
the bullet lodging in his left lung.
Doctors have refused to probe for it.
Miss Warner slashed her throat with
a razor.

| These latter have been welcomed by
Mexico.
In Mexico we find that those for
eigners whose explorations are detri-
mental to the common welfare of the
nation are, usually, guilty Of like prac-
tees in their own countries. We find,
too, that frequently they have had to
deal with an outraged public sentiment
in their native lands, and that laws had
been enacted to curb their objection

AS to the situation in Yucatan, DR..
tendon said many of the farmers
were bound hand and foot to the
agents of the International Harvester
Company and the Plymouth Cordage
Company by virtue of mortgages which
had been given on their crops to Sc
cure loans bearing 10 per cent interest,
sometimes more" 1t was IN view of
these conditions that the henequen
growers had agreed to sell their pro-
duct through the regulating Commits
sion that had been created by the leg
islature for safeguarding their inter
ests, DR.. Rendon was one of those sent
TO the United States to establish indie
pendent markets for the Yucatan pro-
duct, and on the day that formal rec
ognition was accorded to the present
government in Mexico, he secured the
signatures of New Orleans bankers to
a loan contract providing for the ad-
vancement of maximum of 10000
600 to the sisal hemp Commission on

duct stored at New Orleans or other
