CHEAPER RATES From
We learn from the
Journal of yesterday:
capt. T. A. Frierson returned
yesterday from Cincinnati, wherel
he attended meeting of the Cen3
tral Traffic Association. He ~
one OF a delegation Of gentlemen In
terested in southern immigration
and development, and his business
before the association was to arS
range for excursion rates from
points in the north and northwest
to southern cities. For some time
efforts have been made to secure
reasonable excursion rates to the
south, but for some asoa these eff,
forts have failed of success.
Capt Friers)n stated to Journal
reporter last night that his mission
was successful as far as the Central
Traffic Association was concerned.
He said that he laid the whole mat
ter before the association: that the
excursion movement is not for self
ish ends, but for the upbuiiding of
the entire south. He showed the
passenger agents wherein they had
made concessions to the west in the
shape OF reduced rates, and now
that the tide OF emigration is turns
ing southwark it would be but ius>
tice to the people of the northwest,
as well as the South, to make the
same concessions.
The president Of the association
stated in reply that the fault has
been with the roads South of the
Ohio that the different lines work.
ing under the Central Traffic Asso-
citation had rendered reduced rates
on former occasions, but as mat
ter of business they could not af-
ford to haul passengers to the Ohio
river atredUced rates and turn them
over to the southern lires to be
transported at three cents per mile.
He also considered it proper for the
southern roads to take the initia-
tive and first offer The reduction.
The association th:l agreed to
make such reduce, rate from all
points in its territory as the south
ern roads will agree upon. They
also agreed il the rate is established
to distribute free Of charge any and
all advertising matter regarding the
South as may be sent them.
The rate committee Of the South
ern Railway and Steamship Asso-
citation will hoiC. meeting in New
Orleans Tomorrow. Capt. Frierson
left on the early train this morn>
ing to attend tie loeeting. He is
confident that he wifi be successful
in his mission. If low rates can be
secured, thousands of people will
visit this section in the next few
weeks.

Do Men Gather Rigs ofThistIesf

It is as reasonable to expect figs from
thistles as to look for good results when
poor seeds are planted. fyou plant an
acorn you cannot gather apricots, and
if you SOW poor and old seeds you can
not have large and solid cabbage heads,
nor round and regular tomatoes, nor
perfect and juicy canteloupes. The
moral of this is, Be sure you get good
seeds to avoid disappointment. Lam
dreth's seeds are regarded the best all
over the United States, ard you can get
the best crop at Pelham's Drug Store.

inherited Diseases.

No fact of nature is more pregnant
with awful meaning than the fact OF tho
Inheritance of disease.
Modern science, which has Illuminated
30 many dark corners of nature, has shed
new light ON the luminous words of tho
Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers,
unto the third aud fourth generation"
cancer and scrofnla, run in families
through inheritance. Insanity Is hered-
itary in a mar ked decree, but, fortu-
nately, like many other hereditary
diseases, tends to wear itself out, the
stock becoming extinct. A dfstin-
guished scientist truly says: tsNo organ
or texture OF the body is exempt from
the chance of being the subject of
hereditary disease.o Probably moro
chronic diseas IS, which permanently
modify the structure and functions of
the body, are more or less liable to be In
herited. The fmportaa and far-reaching
practical deductions from such facts
are obvious to rejecting minds, and the
best means for preventing or curing
these diseases is a subjectof intense i'm
terest to all Fortunately nature has
provided q remedy, which experience
has attested as infal1.ble, and tile reme-
dy is the world-famous Swift's Specific,

value. An interesting treatise ON
