PRICE FIXING.

Southern domination of the present
congress has not been agreeable to any
body in the north, democrat or repub.
lican. Men like Claude kitchln have
been treating the rest of the country
like a conquered province. imposing
outrageous burdens Of taxation and
giving as little 40 possible in return.
The price Of wheat for the northern
farmer is fixed by due process of law,
but the southern farmer Is allowed to
charge for his cotton all that the traffic
will bear and 10 dem anding more. All
those chickens will come home to roost
some day.-Nsw York World.

county as a whole, but not to be ap-
piled on the Memphis-to-B Bristol any
more than any other road IN the county

greater.
In view Of all conditions our people
need teel no unessiness relative to for

that is the view taken by those best

really is, but a deplorable kind OF
power, harmful to those who use 1t and
TO those It is used on. How much bet
