The Cure OF Cancer.

Mr.. Is. +. George, the writer Of the
following certificate, is reliable and
prosperous farmer, living in Hill coun.
ty, Texas, his nearest posto!ice being
Milford, Ellis county. His case and
its remarkable cure attracted much at
tention in his neighborhood. Any
one wishing further particulars can
write to Mr.. George, or to DR.. T. B.
Bond, the druggist at Hillsboro,
through whom Mr.. George got the
medicine, and who furnishes an en-.
dorsement Of Mr.. Georges statement:
To the Swift Specific Co.. Atlanta, Georgia:
This is to certify that had can
cerous wart or mole on my eyelid, as
large as the end Of my thumb, which
had the appearance of cancer, caus-
ing me much pain and inflammation,
from which suffered long time.
SEEING the S. S. S. advertised l com
menced using it, and after the use of
few bottles the sore dropped out
my cancer was gone and l was entire
~ relieved. This has been several
months ago, and | have felt no symp-
toms of return, and believe l am en-
1rely well, Respectfully,

7. 3. BOND, Druggist.
Mr.. B. H. Byrd, the Post Master at
Lady Lake. Fla, writes that S. S. S
cured HIM Of cancer of the face, which
he said no doubt would have hurried
him to the grave. Three skillful ply
sicians treated his case. but gave him
no relief. He writes OF S. S. S.: 81
do think it is wonderful and has no
equal"
Another remarkable case is that of
Mr.. A. r. Stands, of Spartanburg, S
c., who was troubled with sore on
the left cheek, constantly growing
worse. He consulted many ply
sicians, but none Of them could do him
any good. A short time after he be-
gan taking S. S. S, the sore disap-
peared. He writes: 81 have every
faith in S. S. S. 1t has done me more
good than all the doctors and other
medicines | ever took"
Mr.. w. NJ. Stanfeld, of Hampton,
Henry county, GA, was cured OF one
of the most violent and remarkable
cancers in the history of this terrible
disease. He had all seating cancer"
on his face for II years, aud it was
about to destroy his eJe-sight. Mum
bers OF doctors waited on him with.
on, helping him. About year ago
he began taking a regular course of
S. S. S. The result is stated in his
own words: s'In six weeks l felt
greatly improved. The cancer was
arrested in its progress and has
gradually healed, and is to-day entire
ly well, the destroyed tissue having
been restored aud the face filed in
with new flesh up to the very margin
of the eyelid. For several months |
have considered myself sound and
well, and to-day physicians pronounce
me we'll. My case has been a matter
Of astonishment to my friends and
neighbors, who witnessed my wonder

The GiIn L-----

Several months l-a. -. .l of a large San FrRncisc1 1C4l-ss house wrote Co Lieut.. Glassfo.i, l-, s-rBl uf- ticer of this department, tor n=lt1r0!o- gcaI data of Gila valley. for jhl pG--ose Of determining its adsptEDIlity Co orange culture. Tn complying with this rsques. Lieut. GlsssfOrd made En exhaustive re- port, quoting temperature covering the entire period of the signal service oper- stIUns in the Territory. and requested of the San Francisco gentleman copy of the conclusions arrived at by the expert erced orchBrdist to whom the data was to be submitted. This report was very encouraging and 1t dermined the fact that the vicinity of Florence presented the most superior advantages for the successful growing of citrus fruits. he lowest record temperature was shown to be thirteen degrees above zero, while ID Los Angeles it frequently reaches nine degrees-a difference of four degrees in our favor. Los Angeles grows oranges without trouble and there is O good reason why We eshould not do the same. h has been shown that tine mesa lands traversed by the Florence camel possess a winter temperature fully ten degrees NnhI NIh AAh AAINh occurs there. This state of facts may be due largely to the abeDce Of moisture on the mesa. which twlll be modified when s greater eri6 IS brought under cultivation ard irrigation. The expert opinion that even young orange oan be safely grown In this place, is cer- tsinly second only to g practical demon strstion of ihe fact and We suggest that our farmers devote little time and care in an experimental way to the growth of citrus fruits. We know that m 8 few instances attempts made in the lower lands Of the valley where the frosts are sometimes quite heavy, success has not followed all effors in this direction. but the failures may not be Occssioned by climatic rigoTs so much a by a lack of knowledge ID orange culture. We firm ly believe this valley will eventually be- come fsmous for its exellsnt oranges and that it's exports of this grand fruit will rival those of California and prove remunerstivs to the growers.-Florence Enterprise.

Divorce fin Different States.

New York recognizes but one ground marital infdelity-for divorce Its law is the most stringent in the Union In most of the other states there is a marked similarity in the grounds for divorce In all-except South Carolina, which has no divorce law l marital infidelity is the main ground. In nearly all other the causes are cruelty, habit ual drunkenness and abandonment or neglect tO support. In sOme states the courts have taken a liberal view of cruelty and given 1t e wide scope. In others divorce will be granted only when extreme cruelty or personal vio- lence Is proved
 The broadest provision is found in the law of Connecticut IL gives the courts discretion to grant divorce for ''any such misconduct as permanently destroys tho happiness of petitioner and defeats the purpose of the marriage relation That might make the Nutmeg state Q popular resort for divorce seekers from other parts of the country, but unfortunately for them three years resi- dence Is required of every petitioner. A years residence is a common requirement. in many states But California, Nevada and Nebraska offer special inducements in this respect They require of the complainant a residence of only six mOnths.-New York Herald.

Edison in an Emergency.

Soon Edison's mechanical skill became 90 noted in the office that he was made superia- tsndent of the repair shop It was not long before the value of his services was fully shown The several telegraph companies then in existence-ths Franklin, Banksrs' and Brokers, Southern and Atlantic and Atlantic and Pacific-wers using the Page sounder, the sole right to which was claimed by the Western Union company. Owing to the Western Unions success in a patent fight over the Page sOunder, there can1e e tims when an Injunction was obtained silencing all saunders of that type in the hands of rivals and practically putting stop 70 our business.
 Edison was called into the presidents of6ps and the situation explained For long tirds be stood chewing bis tobacco, looking frst at the sounder in his hand and then falling into brown study. At length be picked up s sheet of tin used as "back' for hanifolding on thin sheets of paper, and began to twin and cut it into queer shapes; meanwhile rs stood around looking on. Not q word was spoken Finally Edison tore of the Page ''sounder7 on the instrument before him. and substituting his bis of tin, began working It was not so good as the patented arrange nsnt discarded, but 1t worked In four hour Q hundred such devices were in use over our lines, and what would have been a rainous interruption to our buSires vas ayoidsd.-- Ne.

One Way of Advertising.

lam not much of a grambler about edI- torial incompetenoy myself, but will go SO fnr, anyway, as to say that u were the editor of "a great New York daily" thers is one reform at least that I should start with a jump. The very first order I should issue would be to stop the free advertising of sec ond and third class actors and actresses by printing silly items about them in the news columns. This sort of thing has gone so far fin New York as to be a nuisance. run over nearly all the papers, one way or sn- other, and find 1t everywhere. Paragraphs about actors and actresses appear almost daily. Their goings and oonings are told, and where they have been and what they have done, and if there is something "spicyn tO tell of them, all the better. The smallest incident is magnihed to the proportions of a matter of importance. An actor buys e dog and be gets big advertisepent free-gratis flor nothing. An actress has a spat behind the scenes, or intimates that some actor has triAsd with such affections as she may hap pen to possess, and 1t is written up in ex- tenso and promptly printed-New York Cor.

Mineral Aranures of the South.

1t is mainly through the dsyelopnsns oi artificial mRnures that ehefical skill hai come to the aid of the faynsr. T6s guarC deposits found on oceanic islands in there giOhs of scahty rainfall for c time afforded a means Of restoring tbs most essential ma, terials which cropping removes fromthe soil. These supplies we're made serviceable for some decades, but ufhappilf, though the store of guano was large, the deruand was So great that in a few years the material was exhausted At this stage the laboratory gave its greatest contribution Co agriculture by showing that certain minerals wlsich exist in large quantities in many lands afford nia- terials by which, at relatively small cost, tbe plants may Do supplied with potash, soda, and, what is more important, the .are eie- ment, phosphorus.
 To the combined work of the geolQgist and chemist we owe this precious gift of mineral manureS. It is scarcely more than a score cf years since they began to find a place in our agricultural processes The South Carolina deposits, which for more than a decade have been the principal source of supply, abOunded fin the fields and along the shores which had been tiled for a century, and yet the value of the material was not recognized until a chemist, guided by purely scientific curiosity, undertook to determine what was the compo- sition of the peculiar uodulss which met bis eye At the present time in this country alone the mannfacturs of sr<iaeiAi manure. which have these phosphates for their most essential ingredient amounts to . value of more than s3Q,0QO.0 900 annually, and it Is evident that the industry Is but at its begin- uing.-Profesor N.
