Though she had suffered with
rheumatism so badly she could mo-
walk at times during three or foul
years, and had been troubled g
great deal with number of othel
ailments, Mrs. J. T. Durham, of 221(
S. Main Street, Anderson, declare:

THE CHAIN-GANG.

We were looking across the pub
lie square from our window a few
days ago and as we looked, wagon
belonging to the county chain-gang
drawn by six observation-disclosures
mules, with a convict driving, came
into sight. 1t was loaded with corn,
provisions and other necessary ar
ticles for the camp.
And we thought how rich Abbeville
County is growing from the main
tenance of this pet institution. For
the months of January, February,
March and April, there is no work
which can be proftably done. The
roads may be worked out in May,
June and July. Any dirt thrown
upon the roads after July is that
much mud in December. But dur
ing all these months, the mules must
be fed, the convicts must be fed,
the managers and guards must be
first paid and then fed, at the end
of each year the worn out mules
are sold and other mules are bought,
and thus it goes that annually we
are throwing away enough money
to break Rockefeller and nothing is
done, or practically nothing.
And out of the system nothing
comes. In the penitentiary the con-
victs might learn to make shoes, OF
repair them, or learn to do some
other kind of work which would en-.
able them to get along when the
terms for which they are sentenced
expire, but a bad negro who goes
on the chain-gang is only made
worse for the community when his
term is over.
The system is not only expensive
but unWiSe.

Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel

Lift OFF With Fingers.

Ouch ~? :! This kind of
rough talk will be heard less here in
town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority, who claims that
a few drops of drug called freezone
when. applied to a tender, aching
corn or hardened callus stops sore
ness at once, and soon the corn OF
callus dries up and lifts right of
without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediate
ly and never inflames or even irri-
tates the surrounding skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very lit
tie at any drug store, but will posi-.
lively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. Mil
lions of American women will vel.

M. E. WILSON.

Mr.. M. E. Wilson, of the Santuc
section of the county, died on Fri
day, 26th. at his home on the Due
West road. Mr.. Wilson was born
and reared in the county. He was
a quiet and unassuming citizen,
but man of fine character and
standing in his community. He mar
ried in early life Miss Gordon, a
sister to Messrs Samuel T. and Har-
vey w. Gordon. His wife survives
him.
Mr.. Wilson had been in failing
health for a number of years. For
the last several years he has made
his home with the Messrs. Gordon
on the Due West road.
Mr.. Wilson was a member of the
Long Cane Presbyterian church for
many years before his death. He was
laid to rest in the cemetery there
on Saturday in the presence of a
large number of kindred and friends.

THE INTEREST RATE.

The money-lenders are putting
out their scare-crows to prevent the
passage of the bill lowering the in
terest rate. And it is the same old
cry of the "poor man." The bank
ers are awfully afraid that the "poor
man" will not be able to borrow any
money if the interest rate is lowered.
They tell you that the man wanting
a large amount of money with gilt
edge security will be able to borrow
at the lower rate, but the poor
"poor man," will not be able to do
SO, and will be forced to buy his
supplies con time" from the hun
cry merchants and he will be swamp
ed with high prices.
The insincerity of this plea can
not be better proved than by say
ing that the erich man" with gilt
edge security has not yet been able
to borrow a dollar from any banker
in Abbeville at less than eight per
cent. discount, the VERY HIGHEST
RATE KNOWN TO THE LAW. And
he will not be able to do better. un-
til the money lenders are driven to
doing better, with the government
at the whip-handle. Nobody should
be fooled with such specious pleas.
The "poor man" in this county
who wishes to borrow on his crop
will get money at the rate fixed by
law. If the bankers want to discrim-
mate against the farming classes and
squeeze the people into paying ex,
orbitant interest charges by squeez'
ing the poorer farmers, the sooner
the people find this out the better
We had a new bank here some years
ago which taught the old bankers
some new "stunts" in finance. Il
it has now come under the domina'
ton of the money trust in Abbeville
the farmers of Abbeville county
have enough money on deposit in the
banks in Abbeville county to start
a new bank which will cater to the
farmers business and enable the
"p6or man" to borrow enough money
to make his crop.
The argument now being made i:
the same one made when we had in
terest reduced from twelve to ter
per cent, and again when it was re
duced from ten to eight. It is &
bug-bear to scare somebody but ot
no real force. The people are en-
titled to relief. If this legislature
does not give it to them, the mex
one will. And when the law is pass
ed its penalties should be such al
to force compliance with its pro
visions.

breaking the laws of the state" The
question is squarely up to the men,
bers of the General Assembly, and
the vote of every man in that body
will count. Where will the repre-
sentatives from Abbeville stand?
Will they vote to uphold the wishes
of the people of this state as ex-
pressed at the ballot box, or will
they stand with the liquor trust and
the liquor carriers and assistant
sellers of Intoxicating liquors in this

OUR BARROOM.

If Mr.. Pratt, the Presbyterian
minister in this city stored fifty
gallons of corn liquor in his house
for two hours the police would be
after him, and no excuse he could
make would justify him before the
law. The same would be true OF
DR.. Swope, or of DR.. Daniel, or any
other minister in the city. If the
National Bank, or any business en-
terprise, undertook to keep such a
quantity of intoxicating liquors
about the premises everybody con,
nected with the institution, would
be indicted and probably convicted
And if the best and most upright
citizen in the city helped anothe,
man sell even a drink of Intoxicating
liquors he would be hailed before the
city council and tried for the Of
fense.
But the Southern Express com
pany is running an open liquor shoI
in the very midst of the people Of
this city, and it will continue tt
run it by virtue of the laws Of thu
United States unless the presen
legislature shall say to the Southern
Express Company and other common
carriers in this state: "We have de
MED the citizens of this state thu
right to engage in the liquor business

the right to engage in it on its owl

A PLEASANT PARTY.

Little Annie Hemphill Rogers cele-
brated her fifth birthday last Satur-
day afternoon by giving her little
friends a party. The little girl said
that she wanted two thousand in
vited but her mother compromised
on something less than hundred
little folks. Games were played in
the big front yard and the "party"
which consisted of fruit cake, candy
and dessert was enjoyed in the
house. A cake with pink icing and
pink candles was one of the pleasures
of the afternoon.

Cottonwood is due to take sew
eral strides forward during the
present year and the length of
the strides may not prove to be
small. There are a number of
matters peering over the horizon
that may develop into large bene-
fits to the town and some of them
are almost certain to land safely
in our midst before the year
closes. While it is still too early
to mention them by name, one or
two are of quite large proportions
and will materially increase the
Importance of the city when they
are finally accomplished. One
matter that is of considerable
Importance to our city and the
entire prairie, in fact, is the es-
tablisment here of a small, up-to-
date hospital. Steps are now
being taken to bring this matter
to definite head and we hope to
be able within the course of the
next few weeks to give more
complete details. Suffice to say,
however, that it will most prob
ably become a municipal institu-
ton in time and will be in shape
from the start to receive patron
age from the entire county. 1t
is such local institutions that
build up the town and community
and every progressive citizen

should give them support within
reason to assist them in starting.

The state senate has passed
the bill calling for the bonding
of the state for million dollars
for highway construction and
the measure is now up to Gov
ernor Alexander and will I'M
doubtedly receive his signature.
The measure provides for funds
for many important highways
within the state, the largest ap-
preparation going to the North
and South highway and with the
sale of the bonds construction
will no doubt be commenced on a
number of the most important
roads early during the coming
summer. This is an important
step forward for our state and,
with the counties also doing their
share and each community doing
Its small part to improve the
roads Idaho will in the course of
a few years be blessed with a
system of fine highways extend
ing to all parts of the state.
Good roads are a states best as
set. Railways are important but
highways are more 80. Every
pound of freight produced with
in the state has to be driven or
hauled over the highways before
it can be shipped out over the
railroads to market and all ma
terial shipped in for our own con-
sumption has to be distributed
over the highways to the various
farms and homes. A million dol
lars looks like a large sum to
spend for one purpose but prob
ably more than this is wasted
each year in the state trying to
haul over bad roads. We hazard
the opinion that the state of Ida
no will receive greater returns
from this investment than from
any other investment it has ever
made.

NEW STATE NO CHIMERA

NEW O1AlE M CHIN ERA
We hear comments occasion
ally that north Idaho would have
little to gain by separating from
the south end of the state. Why
not, pray. We are at present
paying about 46 per cent of the
total tax of the state and have
been paying more than 40
per cent for the past ten or
twelve years, and what have we
got back in return? South Idaho
has built her roads and bridges
for years largely out of public
funds and north Idaho has con-
tributed much of those funds and
then dug down again into her
pocket for improvements needed
at home. South Idaho has cut
up her territory into small coun-
ties in order to retain control of
the legislature and whenever the
lawmakers of the state meet each
two years the south walks off
with the major part of the state
appropriations and north Idaho
gets the leavings. The interests
and resources of the two ends of
the state are entirely foreign to
each other and will always re-
main so, in spite of the ultimate
completion of wagon and rail
roads connecting them. Under
this condition and with the south
holding the reins, she will con-
tinue to take for her own particu-
lar needs at all times, leaving the
north to pick the crumbs from
beneath the table.
On the other hand, the north
has sufficient territory, popula-
ton and wealth for new state.
1t is small empire within itself
and its interests are identical and
its resources necessary to each
other. 1t could maintain the ad-
ditional cost of a state govern
ment and still do as we'll as it is
at present. And there is a
strong possibility of being able
in the near future to secure the
addition of two or three western
Montana counties to the "pan-
handle" and thereby square up
the north end of the state. In
fact, we can see fully as much
reason for the new state a 8
against it and the more the
matter is exploited the palmer
will these points become.
