SOUTHERN MERCURY
results of real government under So-
cialism, why not try it here? Mr. Tay-
lor did not tell his hearers that all this
magnificent public improvement was
accomplished within the last few years
and wholly under governiment owner
ship. Look at their splendid railway
system, and only begun a few years
ago. Every 'mile of that system is
owned by t'he government. Look, 100.
at <the telegraph and telephone sys-
tem. No wonder Mr. Taylor is amazed
at their rapid development. It is uti-
equaltd in the history of the' world.
Then 'look at the per capita of foreign
trade. No government of earth equals
it. All this, under Socialism applied.
What would be the accomplishment ol'
this country under such a government?
Yet Mr. Taylor belongs to a party that
tells us "we can not legislate a man
rich."—-Socialism.
Rev. J. Mont Travis whites to the
Johnstown, Pa.. Tribune from Concord,
N. C., about the labor of children in
the cotton mills of that town:
I could not learn the wages paid to
adults, but I saw children 8 to 9 years
oi age working from 6 at night to 6
in the morning for 10 cents a night.
One of the mills I visited at Concovd
has increased its capacity three times
in thirteen years, and at the same
time has paiid regularly a 10 per cent
dividend. There are some fifteen mills
in Charlotte and half as many in Con-
cord, and I was told they were all do-
ing as well.
"Doing as well!" Manking money
fast, with child labor pa'id 10 cents a
night! Is it 'not high time that some
missionary work of a practical kind
was done in North Carolina and some
other states, as well as in far-away
countries?—Tacoma Sun.
SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.

a dull headache, a stopped up feeling

Send all orders and correspondence to
Dr. J. W. Blosser & Son, 131 Broad ST.,
Atlanta. Oa. A trial sample will be

In a recent sipeech Mayor John C.
Chase in speaking of Socialism in Hav-
erhill, Mass., said:
"It is not my intention to detain you
with a long dissertation upon econom-
ics, but merely to give you a brief ac-
count of how we citizens of Haverhill
are able to-day to boast of being the
vrst community to elect men who
stand for the principles of Socialism.
"You have been often told that So-
cialism is foreign to America; that the
citizens of this country will have noth-
ing to do with it, and much to the same
effect, and yet in spite of this, the first
Socialist elected in America was elect-
ed by men wiho trace their ancestry
back to those who landed on Plymouth
Rock and who defy any man to prove
•them anything but Americans. The
population of Haverhill is made up al-
most entirely of men from New Hamp-
shire and Vermont, who are engaged
in the chief industry of the town, Which
is shoemaking.
"About ten years ago the number of
active Socialists in Haverhill was six,
and one of the few things I have reas -
on to be proud of the fact that i
•was one of the six. This little band
unceasingly agitated for and promul-
gated the doctrines of Socialism with
the result which at that time attained.
We were jeered, hissed, cursed and
called anarchists and nihilists—in fac<
•everything that was vile. When we
walked through the street people who
saw us coming crossed over to the oth-
er side, for fear of jostling past us they
might perhaps explode the bomb which
we were supposed to carry on our per-
sons. Yet in spite of all we persisted,
and each recurring election showed
that our efforts were not in vain. Out
vote increased from 6 to 36, from 36 to
156. and the year following this we
polled over 300 votes. Next year, that
is three years ago, owing to the negli-
gence of the Democratic party who
were divided into five factions, each
having a candidate in the field,
were able to elect our man, polling for
him about 1200 votes. Great was the
consternation of the Republican, Dem
ocratic and Prohibition politicians at
the result, loudly and solemnly did
they swear that never again would So-
cialists be elected. People who were
opposed to us asked each other, with
tears streaming down their faces, what
was to become of them, since now a
shoemaker was to lead them through
this vale of tears. Last year we had
another election and the Democrats,
profiting by the lesson they had learn-
ed, united not only all the factions in
their party, but actually linked them-
selves with their ancient enemy, the
Republicans, to defeat the Socialists.
Yes, friends, not only the Republicans
and Democrats joined their forces for
this purpose, but t'he Prohibitionists
also ojined hands with their liquor
drinking friends to insure its accom-
plishment.
"Money literally poured into the city
of Haverhill; thousands of dollars were
sent by the state and national commit-
tees of the old parties. But even this
was not all. The railroad which the
Socialists had squeezed rather hard for
two years previous, sent an unfilled
check to the chairman of the united
Republican - Democratic - Prohibition
party which had merged into one body
calling themselves the citizens' party.
This check was left unfilled so that the
ig'ht write down any sum
he saw fit, and yet in spite of all, we
were victorious. Not only did we re-
elect our mayor, but increased the rep-
resentation in the aldermanlc c >
ber to six, electing them all with com-
fortable majorities.
"In conclusion, Hi want to say, that
when I look over this audience and
•compare them with the people of Hav-
erhill, I must say that you do not look
less intelligent than they."

THE LINK THAT BINDS.

I was subject to miscarriage for three years,
and suffered constantly with backache. I wrote
to you for advice, and after using three bottles
of Wine of Oardui, according to your directions,
I am Htrong and well, and the mother of a flee
girl babv.

There is no use talking - a baby in the house is the link that binds
husband and wife together. Nothing is sadder than fruitless wedlock.
The prattling and cooing of the little ones offset a-thousand times the
occasional worries and trials of life. When a wife is barren, there is a
derangement somewhere in the genital organs, caused by one or more of
those common disorders known as " female troubles". Wine of Cardui
is the remedy. It puts the organs ol generation in a strong and healthy
condition, fitting the wife for the sacred duty of reproducing her kind.
During the period of gestation the entire system of the expectant mother
is built up to withstand th* ordeal of labor, and when the little one
makes its advent it is lusty and
Strong, well-fitted to grow io ma-
turity in perfect health. The
mother, too, passes through the
trial with little pain and no dread.
Wine of Cardui is truly a wonder-
ful medicine for women.
