TALK TO THE RICH FELLOW.
Last week we asked this question:
"How long will the rich continue to
rule this country, sinking the people
lower and lower?" On this the South
Pittsburg, Tenn., Hustler, comments
as follows:
"Just so low as the poor remain
poor by selling their labor for nothing.
A man, a firm, printers, manufactur-:
ers or whatnot should take pride in
their labor and demand a living price
for it. The party who doesn't do this
is almost as bad as an anarchist in
principle and hasn't one-third as much
gray matter in his cranium."
The Hustler hits the nail on the
head, but what's the remedy t The
rich people make the price anyway,
for they have the plunks to stand the
loss. The man of moderate means and
Lis nearest of kin, the poor man, have
to follow in the footsteps of the rich
nabob. He has nothing to say about
what piice be shall reoeive. Look to
day at the wheat market. Is it the
farmer who raised the wheat who gets
the increased price, and does the la
borer who buys the wheat at an in
creased price get an increased wage
with which to purchase it'. Not so.
" On the cpntrary there is a decided
movement to cut the meagre wages he
now receives. To get a meagre living
he must sell his "labor for nothing"
as the Hustler peculiarly puts it If
he should strike he simply knocks him
self out of getting that "nothing",
which means downright starvation.
It's a poor system, isn't it, that thous
ands of men can live in a land of
plenty, and surrounded by all sorts of
conveniences, and while perfectly able
and willing to work for them, be not
able to secure them, while a few priV'
ileged parties are surfeited with lux
aries. Something wrong with the sys
tem, isn't there? So don't kick at the
poor but kick at the other fellow who
holds the clamps.
A recent copy of the Boston Herald,
contains the first and exclusive an
nouncement of a movement commem
orating the tbree-hundreth anniversary
of the Landing of the Pilgrims on the
bleak shore of Plymouth Bay, Mass. ,
in 1620, and the founding of New Eng
land, by a world's Tercentennial Ex
position in that city in t920. This
early announcement has been made to
give notice to the world, that we, Un
cle Sam's cohort of hustlers, his child
ren, are going to have a big affair in
Boston town on that date, and for all
other nations to come and participate
therein. This move on the part of the
Herald will be hailed with pleasure by
many an exile from the Modern Ath
ens, who has longed to see again her
many charms, and who, Deo volente,
will assuredly not miss the Tercenten
nial of 1920.
The Sequachee News comments on
an "unusual" name borne by a lady in
a neiffnbonnz town. The name is
really unusual. But the most unusual
thing connected with the incident is
the fact that a southern editor would
or could possibly lower himself to coui
meut in his paper on a laay's name in
a ribald manner. Mrs. Grundy, Tracy
City.
Ha ! To the rescue Horatio '. The
fair maid is assailed !
Dins ! Bang ! Bum !
What a "wow" we make,
Biug' Bangl Burnt
Don't it take the cake!
And so we are guilty of ribadry, eh !
All right, but we had no idea that Mrs.
Grundy would hnmp np her back over
the matter. But, seriously, whenever
we find an editor, southern or other
wise, making a great howl over chiv
alry to women, we immediately suspic
ion that his wife or some of his female
relatives spit and lug in the wood.
With a few more sncb law-making
bodies as this one, Tennessee will be
on the rock to stay. Altamont, Tenn.,
Comet.
Is that a deal better than being in
the quagmire of booze We think the
present legislature is credit to the state
and that it tackles all sorts of legisla
tion in a homey-handed sort of way
that is encouraging. Holy Writ men
tions a rock as a particularly good
fonndation, so why should not Tennes
see locate thereon?
The Statesman-Democrat, of Jasper,
published a very neat special edition
last week of 24 pages, representing the
advantages of Jasper and surrounding
territory. While largely made np of
matter published before in the Demo
crat, it was still good reading and
formed a very creditable issue.
The farmer who sold his wheat last
year at HOc a bushel is now buying it
Lack at ft. 25. per bnshel, or nbnnt
$7.50 per barrel. That's a back hand

Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil is the means
of life and enjoyment of life to

When appetite fails, it restores
it. When food is a burden, it
lifts the burden.
When you lose flesh, it brings
the plumpness of health.
When work is hard and duty
is heavy, it makes life bright.
It is the thin edge of the wedge;
the thick end is food. But

you hate it and can't digest it?

SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St. New York
The write-up of Sequachee in the
Trade Edition of the Statesman-Democrat
is thoroughly entertaining, espec
ially that about "numbers of new res
idences going up." where are they?
Alex Lofty is the first citizen of this
place to build a residence of entirely
new material in years, and he built it
by the hardest kind of work, a little
at a time. W. S. Pryor was the next,
and J. B. Jones followed, and that
concludes the list of houses built in
this city of absolutely new material
in years. All others are old ' ones re-
modled or pulled down and made over.
And, by the way, Mr. Jones' residence
marks the site of an $18,000 machine
shop vanished from this city. It's
growth to be sure, but deuced slow,
but we are glad and lucky to get
that much, even if it is little, for all
things come slowly and "conservative
ly" to Sequachee.
Congressman Moon favors appropria
tions for storage reservoirs on rivers in
certain southern states. He is always
awake to the importance of the rivers
of the South and this new idea of us
ing some of them as storage reservoirs
is a good one that can be widely ex
tended. Mrs. Grundy is respectfulyly inform
ed that there is a young lady by the
name of Toe atTullahama, the "light,
fantastie toe, " you know.
Object to Strong Medicines.
Many people object to taking the
strong medicines usually prescribed by
physicians for rheumatism. There is
no need of internal treatment in any
case of muscular or chronic : rheuma
tism, and more than nine out of every
ten cases of the disease are of one or
the other of these varieties. When
there is no fever and little (if any)
swelling, your may know that it is on
ly necessary to apply Chamberlain's
Liniment freely to get quick relief.
Try it You are certain to be pleased
with the quick relief which it affords.

in everything she touches. She is like
a brave mountaineer, already far np
the precipice climbing, struggling,
rejoicing. The sight is an inspira
tion. It is an honor to know this girl
and be worthy of her esteem. Lift
your .hat to her, young man, as she
passes by. She is a queen in the realm
of womannood. ahe is a princess
among the toilers. Her hands may be
stained by dish-washing, sweeping,
printers' ink or factory grease, but
they are honest hands. They stay
misfortunes from the home: they sup
port the invalid loved one, maybe.
They are the moving, patent shields
that protect many a family from the
poor house. God bless and protect the
girl who works. Terrel (Tex.) Trans

CONVERSION OF
MAJ. JACK DANIELS
Once Proprietor of Famous
Distillery, Maker of No. 7,
Becomes Baptist.
SHELBYVILLE, Tenn., April 27.
Elder A. J. Willis, an ex-Primitive
Baptist preacher of South Pittsburg,
who has charge of two or three church
es in this county, was here yesterday
and told the Banner correspondent an
interesting story of the conversion of
Maj. Jack Daniel, the noted distiller
and former proprietor of that famous
whisky brand, "Jack Daniel, No. 7."
Mr. Daniel made a profession of relig
ion several days ago and was baptized
by immersion in Mulberry Creek Sun
day by Elder Willis. The Elder says
that Maj. Daniel's conversion was one
if the most earnest be has ever known.
Maj. Daniel is one of the wealthiest
men of Middle Tennessee and has lotig
been noted for his kindness of heart
and unbounded liberality. He is no
longer interested in the whiskey busi
ness and has, it is stated, forbidded
the use of his name on whisky brands,
and in the future his large capital will
be differently employed. His famous
distillery at Lynchburg has passed in
to other hands.

An Apt Reply.
During the encampment of several
regiments of British soldiers in a cer
tain district the wood and turf used
for cooking iJurposeM were carted by
the neighboring farmers. One day a
donkey cart fnll of turf was brought
in, the driver Wing a country lad. As
a regimental band wa playing, he
stood in front of the ilonkty and held
the animal tightly by the head. Some
of the smart ones gathered round, and
the wit of the party asked why be
"held his brother so tightly." The
reply of the country lad -was, "I'm
afraid he might enlist." .
