REDISTRICT THE SOUTH.
Rather Than Have Negro Rule Senator
Bacon Willing to Accept Reduction.
Macon. Oa.. Dec, . Congressman
Hardwick, of the Tenth Georgia dis
trict, a few days ago wrote a letter to
Senator Bacon asking his views upon
the present political situation. Sena
tor Bacon replied at length.
The senator says there is an attempt
to republlcanixe the south. He de
clares that white supremacy must be
maintained In the south, and southern
prosperity Is due to th whit supre
"fnaey. He advocates the repeal of the
fifteenth amendment to the United
states constitution,' and Insists that
unless this shall be done the people of
the south will be forced to maintain
their proposition of white supremacy.
Rather than have negro rule. Sena
tor Bacon Is willing to accept a reduc
tion of southern representation In the
congress of the United States. He
adds?
The repeal of the fifteenth amend
ment, leaving to each state the power
t regulate for Itself the negro ques
tion. would destroy the sectional bar
Her which the south so greatly de
plores, and for the removal of which it
knows no other method."
few have been entirely successful. The
strain on the steel hawsers by which
the barge are held to the steamer al
ways has bwn sufficient in heavy
weather to causathem to part.
In order to obvlat that difficulty the
Atlas has been equipped with cylinders
which will bear the strain of the haws
era. The barge will carry a cargo of
10.009 barrels on the voyage.
REVISE THE LAW
WAR ON PAKE MEDICINE.
Cause of
Us of Cheap Drugs the
Many Deaths,
Chicago, Dec. . Tha war of the
government on "fake" medicines broke
out In Chicago today. Acting on evl
dence gathered by the authorities In
Washington and In other larger cities.
federal detectives, assisted by the Chi
cago police, today made raids on places
where bogus drugs are said to be made,
confiscated four patrol wagon loads of
"medicine," and arrested five person
for misusing the malls. This was the
result of the government's attack,
which is said to be national In scope,
and likely to result In scores of arrests
in different cities.
The evidence upon which the arrests
of today were made was baaed upon
a chemical analysis made by Dr. Virgil
Coblent. professor at Columbia uni
versity, at the request Of government
authorities. He found that "trlethy-
late," sold to druggists as a substitute
for "trlonal, a sleep-produclng medi
cine, acted as an Irritant Instead of
healing. This "doctored" drug was
being disposed of at 1 cents an ounce,
while the genuine article sold for ll.SO
an ounce.
An analysis of artstol. sold as a sub
stitute for iodoform, proved that It con
tained 75 per cent of fuller's eartlt, col
ored with Iron rust.
"There is no doubt that the use of
these drugs has cost many lives." said
nspector Campbell of Postal Inspector
Stuart's office. "The fraud extend
throughout the country."

NECK BROKEN BY AUTO.
Thrown From an Automobile and

Washington, Dec. (. Oleomargarine,
which, since the enactment of the law
of HO J. has been taxed at 10 cents
pound, will at a comparatively early
dut. if the present plan are not dis
arranged, be taxed at a much lower
rat. The house commute on way
and means will report a bill providing
for the reduction on oleomargarine
from ten to three or four cents
pound, which will be the compromise
reached between thoae members of the
committe who favor high tax and
those who believe in Its removal alto
gether. That such a menaur will pro.
voke powerful and determined opposl
tion not only In the house but from
various Influential Interests through
out the country. Is acknowledged, but
the necessity for provhttng Increased
revenue is nppurently paramount, and
the committee will act accordingly.
It Is pointed out by those offlrtul
who are friendly to the proposed legis
lation that the Imposition of a pro
hibitive tax on a manufactured com
modity so hugely In use resulted prac
tically In the death of that Industry,
with a corresponding decrease In the
revenue derived, so that now It Is an
unimportant factor in the running ex
penses of the government. Many ot
the tavern would really become
powerful factor In minimising th vll
of drink, and that as all other methods
had failed it was propr to try this.
Mshop rotter's defense was greeted
with derision by hla critics. Hut they
undoubtedly received a heavy blow

church, Immediately after hi arrival

tion a to what he thought of IMshop

only Indorsed It. but that his own wife

SARCASTIC GOVERNOR.
Says th President Hss It in for Him
on an Old Soors.
Memphis, Tenn., Dec. . The Com
mercial Appeal publishes a letter re
ceived from Jackson, Miss., in which
Governor Vardeman declines to be
permanent chairman of the national
cotton boll weavil convention at
Shreveport After declining to serve,
Governor Vardeman says:
"One of the strong (?) arguments
made by an editor of your city against
'permitting ' Governor Vardeman to
serve as chairman of the convention,'
was based upon the fact that Governor
Vardeman has Incurred the displeasure
of the present president of the United
' 8tates, who would regard a courtesy to
Governor Vardeman as a discourtesy to
htm. and for which discourtesy to him
he -would with 'dee-light' punish all the
catton growers of th south by with
held Log federal aid from their effort to
stamp out the boll weevil. The -people
of the south are Indeed in a deplorable
condition if in the life of this repub
lic It ha com to pass that In order
t enjoy th privilege of cltlsenshlp
aad exercise their right under th eon'
stKotion they must kiss the hand that
assites them."
