(food For Qualls.
To the Editor of The Journal,
Please give use space in ye ar
valuable paper for the following,
My father and mother. Win.
and Laura Qualls, were the par
ed ts of eleven hoys and eleven
girls. They had Ido grand child
ren and ,‘ido great grand children.
M\ father lived until he was ML
yeaiv old. My mother still lives
.n*d I- 71 yeni ' «»1 d smd in t?ood
lie.dth. My tm rents were poor
people; had not liiitg hot children.
W e all rel ieved our part of the
estate at hiith, when alt shared
an equal part. To all was given
a single name hut to George
Wasliiuglon (Qualls and William
\N’ 111 it- Qualls. When our mother
dies we will have no estate to
fuss and law over, as you some
times see. All the rest of the
children were well pleased with
their part hut me; I thought I
ought to have as much as George
and Willie. So. I have added to
my name without the consent of
the others. Col.. J Ql vt.Ls.
‘‘Infant Industries.”
Mr Thomas W. Philips estimates
the wealtli of monopolistic combi
nations, known as trusts in this
country, at $17,000,000,000, or
uhout one-fifth of the total wealth
of this, the richest nation the
world has ever contained. These
are the ‘‘infant industries” to sus
tain which the people of the coun
try are paying in cash nearly a
billion dollars every year. We
pay this money to protect these
giant combination against foreign
competition, and in addition there
to they make our own people pay
twice as much for the Necessities
which they supply, as we would
now pay if they did not exist.
The “protection” most needed in
this country, is that which will
relieve our people from the extor
tionate prices which these combi
naiosns impose.
Benefited the Parmer.
The recent snow and sleet and
rain are just what the farmers
needed. There was not a great
deal of it hut its effect in wetting
the soil is probably equal to twice
its equivalent in rain, becaus much
of the rain would have run oil' and
been lost to the land, and (lie
evaporation would have been an
important factor. The frozen rain
prevented evaporation, largely,
and melting slowly, was taken up
by the soil, very little being carri
ed away by surface drainage. 'The
freezing of the soil always bene
fits its mechanical condition, and
rougher the surface, the greater
the benefit. Some of our worst
insect pests seems to be frost proof
and are reported as in thriving
i condition since the freeze; yet a
great many, whose combined work
might seriously affect ahe farmers,
j were undoubtedly killed. The
j wheat crop is not as badly injured
{as has been reported and that
j planted with drills in well prepar
, ed soil seems to be doing well,
i thought it has made rather Mow
growth on account of the cfrouth.
j All in all. corn prospects are
fairly good —Farm and blanch.
Clerk’s Wise Suggestion.
“1 have been very much troubl
ed with dispepsia, belching and
sour stomach.” writes M. S. Mead
leading pharmacist, of Attleboro.
Mass. “1 could eat hardly any
thing without suffering several
hours. My clerk suggested t hat 1
try KoJol Dyspepsia Cute which
1 did with most happy results. 1
have had no more trouble and
when one can go to eating mince
pie, cheese, candy and nuts after
such a time, theii digestion must
i he pretty good. I endorse Kndol
Dyspepsia Cute heartily,’’ You
i don’t have to diet. Eat all the
| good food you want hut don't
i overload the stomach. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cuie digests your
i food. I. Sturdivant.

Saved Him From Torture.
There is no more agonizing
trouble than piles. The constant
itching and burning make life in
tolerable. No position is comfort
able. The torture is unceasing.
DeWitt's \\ itch Hazel Salve cur
es piles at once. For skin diseas
es, cuts, bums, biuises, all kind
of wounds it is unequalled. J. S.

“From 18tk> I suffered with the
protruding, bleeding piles and

WASHIOTON POLITICAL CHAT
Swift's News Bureau. )
Washington, I). C., February 24. \
Mr. Roosevelt made a million
or mote democratic votes when
lie attached his name to the de
cision upholding the majority re
port of the Sold y court of i.i
tjuiry. This is the opinion of
many republicans as well as dem
ocrats. Mr. Roosevelt’s clever
dodge in placing responsibility on
a dead man—President McKin
ley—Wits far from creditable to
him and the deserving jolly he
gave the surviving captains who
participated in the battle off San
dual, will blind nobody to the
main fact—that he has denied
Schley the justice for which he
asked and to which he i~ entitled,
and Mr. Roosevelt will find that
the people will hold him and his
party responsible.

ADVICE FOR COHINO YEAR. I
Plant all your land in cotton. 1
You won't make any money, but
you will be kept so buisy you
won’t have time to pvt into any
sort of trouble. j
If you have any poor hogs kill;
them all about the first of Febru J
ary. This will prevent the nec
essity of feeding them, keep them
from rooting up your cotton, and
give you a chance to buy northern
bacon in the fall.
Don’t plant a garden. The j
time ... to work it had bet-;
ter be spent on the cotton. Above
all thing' keep your eye on the !
cotton patch
Land planted in corn is a dead
waste- The same land planted in :
cotton will produce twice as much!
labor for your wife and boys, and
prevent them from pining after
worldly amusements.
I f you have money, save it and
buy on a credit. In this way you !
pay much more for your goods, j
hut then you stand a chance of;
dy ing. in which case you would get
your goods free.
During cotton chopping time j
especially if the crab grass is \ ig- i
orous. you should go to town i
several times during the week in
order to keep yourself posted on j
the political news. Your wife and :
children can amuse themselves
chopping cotton while you are
abs.-nt Never lea',e i->wn with
out a quart of whiskey. Any man
is liable to be snake-bit. bes.des
half a dozen driiil s sn wonderful
factor with which u> raise the > r ■>
of cotton. Don’t forget the cot.
ton
During cotton picking tunc arise
parly, see that the old hul.v and
the iin,VH jji't to work, and then
light your pipe and sit down and
study about the horrible political
condition of the country.
( >n Sunday it is not necessary
to take your wife and children to
church. Such things only encour
age them in frivolous amusements,
and detract their minds from the
cotton patch
ily way of parenthesis, you
ought to take your county papers.
It is not necessary or expected
that you will ever pay for them.
Should you happen to carry tho ,
editor a dollar or a load of wood
it is liable to make a fool of him
or throw him into an epileptic fit.
It is veiy much better for him if
you cary him a mess of pithy
turnips or backnumber watermcl
ons. In this way lie will mark
“paid" and give you two dollars
worth of free adverting- Inci
dentally, however, let your mind
rest mi your cotton crop.
Remember thy Creator in thv
youth, but for (.tod's sake don't
forget to see that all your hind i>
planted in cotton.—Ex change.

A Hint to His Opponents.
If there have ever been any j
who i ntertained doubts about the
running qualities of lien Adams.
Big Bottom's candidate for sher
iff, those doubts were dispelled
Tuesday morning. At least, all
those who were present when the
passenger pulled out from t lit* ^
h‘p<>t. testify to the fact that lie!
is “I lie hot st off ' iua race.
Mi. Adams rode up with the
intention of going t«i Batosville
oil the t'-an;. W hen lie was in
about thirty yards of the depot
the train pulled out and, taking
in the situation at glance, jumped
iff his Imrse and started in pur
suit iu dead earnest..
It \\ as plainly e\ i lent to the iti
11 rested I y —t i.dci s that .Mr.
Ad mis had gone into this 'ace
with the same itvteriuiu.ition that
el.araetei '■/.••» his eveiy under
taking. It v is also plainly seen
that the distance between him and
the moving 11 am was shortening.
At one mm', however, lie stopped
with tin* evident intention of giv
mg up the chase, but was urged
on by friends standing on the rear
platform and again started in pur
suit. The little rest seemed to
be a great help, for taking a new
start, and no doubt under his
breath defying even a train to
leave him behind, lie gained on it
at every leap, and soon succeeded
in catching the train and pulled
himself upon the rear platform.
Here’s a gentle hint to his op
ponents. It's useless to run
again a man who can outrun a1
train.
