TIE LOST ATLANTIS.

For many centuries there has been /
tradition Of q long lost island called
Atlantis.
The Greek geogrape,s located it in
the Atlantic Ocean, west of the north
west pant of Africa and the Pillars Of
Hercu es. The sea-kings of Atlantis are
said to have invaded Europe and Africa,
and to have been defeated by the Athen-
ians.
All the legends agree that il was vast
island, of inexlIaustible resources, and
inhabited by race OF superior people.
For ages this island has existed OILY in
Legendary lore. But now, when the light
of modern research is turned full upon
the investigation, behold the lost Atlantis
at our very doors.
So the bigoted medical fraternity goes
cropping about in the dark, seeking for
an Atlantis or Esculapius, when if they
would investigate, they would behold
the lost Atlantis at their very door.
With their ancient text book, q case of
physic, a paper in their waistcoat giving
them license to practice, experiment and
dose with their injurious drugs, coulter
ize and perform unnecessary acts, with
no person or law to hold them account
able, they continue their bigoted, I'M
justified practice, staring i'to vacancy,
and imagining that they see in them
selves an Esculapius.
Wrapped in ancient bigotry, they are
crying out against all improvements that
have been made in medical science,
They denounce any new idea advanced
by a layman or an opposition school as
fraud.
Why?
Because humanity will not be bene-
flied? Not at all, but because their
epecialism did not make the discovery.
Yet they concede that there is no rem.
edy known to their materia medica that
will cure an advanced kidney malady
and the diseases arising therefrom-al-
though many Of them know from crown
ing proof that Warmers Safe Cure will
but unscrlpulously treat symptoms and
call them dis ease, when in reality they
know they are but symptoms.
A few Of the more honest physicians
admit that Warmers Safe Cure is valu-
able remedy, and a great blessing to
mankind, but say in SO many words,
whrn asked why they do not prescribe
it, that they cannot, according to their
code.
Nevertheless, the world is fast becom-
ing satisfied that the cure for kidney and
liver di-eases, in whatever form or con-
dition, has been discovered, and there
is no doubt but what Warmers Safe Cure
and it's fame will live long after such
bigotry az We have instanced il dead and
buried.
The late eminent physician and writer,
DR.. J. &. Holland, published in "Scrib-
ner's Monthly" and showed his opinion
of such biyotry, and no doubt was salts.

covered in a proprietary n. sdlcine, when
he wrote editoria ly, as follows:
Nevertheless, it is fact that many
Of the best proprietary medicines of the
day were more successful than many OF
the physicians, and most Of them, it
should be remembered, were first dis
covered or used in actual medical prac-
tice. When, however, any shrewd per-
son, knowing their virtue. and foresesing
their popularity, secures and advertises
them, then, in the opinion Of the biyoted,

Prof Downey's Entertainment.

Last Tuesday evening Prof. b. A. Downey
and wife gave one OF their pleasing enter.
lainmehts at the Odeon Hall, consisting Of
Rotations. songs, negro sketches, etc. The
attendance was not as large as it should have
been. but the programme was uot cut short
on this account. The Professor is one Of the
finest violinists on the Coast, and his slight.
Of hand performances were very neatly done.
OF course there are tricks in all trades, but
there were few in the audience Tuesday
evening who were able to catch on to MIR.
Downey's tricks. Mrs. Downey in her old
lady's makeup and recitation, cannot be
surpassed, while her rendition Of 81 lent s.
to O'Graiy," and other songs and imperson-
atoms, was far better than could be done by
four hflhs Of the professionals on the road
She has a splendid voice, over which she has
great control, and her impersonation of a
colored girl, fresh from the plantation, was
great. The negro songs Of the couple brought
down the house. At the close OF the enter.
tainment the hall was cleared of seats and
those who desired to dance remained and
kicked up the dust until midnight. Even
then they were 10th to stop, as the music
furni shed by the Prof. on his violin, accom-
panied by his vile on the guitar, was de.
lightful. The happy couple propose to give
but few more performances in the State be-
fore leaving for California to travel. Should
they ever again visit Dayton it is hoped they
will favor our people with another of their
entertaining performances.

A Muchly signed Petition.

A neat April. fool joke was played on az
Board Of County Commissioners last Moks
day. the Ist, by County Clerk Harris. The
Board has Of late been receiving numerouS
petitions monthly for various things. and Just
before adjournment last Monday the Clerk
passed roll Of paper to the Chairman Of
the Board with the remark that there was
another petition. The Chairman began to
unroll the bundle, and found, to his ama3es
ment that it was nearly six feet long and
signed by residents Of Sutro, Virginia City,
Dayton, Silver City and many other places,
and oppasite the signature of each person
was stamp Of some description. Stamps
Of all descriptions were attached to the dec
ument; revenue stamps, postage stamps Of
nearly every nation, cigar-box labels, patent
medicine stamps, etc. The petition waS
found 10 be one that was gotten up some
twenty years ago BY Charlie Brant, our former
Assessor, and favored the appointment Of NJ.
Dressendorf to the pes ition Of Justice Of the
Peace. 1t etated that the gentleman, d.
though he was of German extraction, had
been re constructed and civilized and waS
eminently fitted to fill the position to which
he aspired. 1t is needless to state that the
consideration of said petition was indefinitely
postponed.

Better than Blue Grass and Clover.


The Atlanta Constitution publishes
some interesting information in regard to
the use of cotton seed hulls for feeding
stock. An Atlanta firm fattened $500
beeves last year on cotton seed hulls from
the oil mills, at profit of $4,000. Two
train loads of these beeves were shipped
from Atlanta to Philadelphia and sold
there in competition with Chicago beef
The same firm will fatten 10000 steers
next winter. Mr.. Joel Chandler Harris,
of Atlanta, who is an authority on stock
raising, feeds his herd of Jerseys on cot
ton seed hulls and says that "the result in
milk, butter and beet is amazing" Mr.
w. NJ. Towers, Of Rome, writes Of an ex-
pertinent with corn, cotton seed meal,
and cotton seed hulls, in which the hulls
produced by far the best results.
A practical farmer has also told Of a
test which he made recently. One oftwo
steers was fed con all the shelled corn
and wheat straw that he would eat;' the
other was fed on cotton seed hulls and
meal, and gained, at one-third the cost,
ninety pounds more of flesh" This
authority declares that cotton seed hulls
"will produce better and bigger results,
as food for cattle and sheep, than all
the clover and blue grass Of Tennessee,
Kentucky and Ohio" and will enable
Southern farmers to "compete with beef
raised on the Western plains and TO un-
dersell every piece Of mutton or beef that
grazes on blue grass or clover" The de-
velopment of the stock raising industry
in Georgia next year, in consequence Of
the discovery of the value of Gotten seed
hulls for feeding purposes, says the same
farmer, will be tremendous" and the
Constitution confirms the prediction.
The hulls Of the cotton seed have been
used as fuel by the cotton oil mills here
tofore, but promise TO become now one Of
the most important Of their products.

POETR Y.
THE BRIDGE OF PRAYER.

The bridge of prayer from heavenly heights
suspended,
Unites the earth with spirit realms in space
The interests of those separate worlds are
blended
For those whose feet turn often toward that
place.
In troubled nights ofsorrow and repining,
When JOY and hope seem sunk in dark des-
pair,
We still may see, above the shadows shining
The cleaning archway ofthe bridgeofprayer.
From that fair height our souls may lean and
listen
To sounds of music from the father shore,
And through the vapors sometimes dear eyes
Ofloyed ones who have hastened on before.
And angels come from their celestial city
And meet as half way on the bridge Of prayer ;
God sends them forth, full of diyinest pity,
To strengthen us for burdens we must bear
o you, whose feet walk in some shadowed by
way
Far from the scenes of pleasure and delight,
Still free for you hangs this celestial highway,
Where heavenly glories dawn upon the sight.
And common paths glow with a grace supernal,
And happiness walks hand in hand with
care,
And faith becomes knowledge fixed, eternal.
For those who often seek the bridge of
prayer.

There was remarkable coincidence Of
events in the lives of Jefferson Davis and
Abraham Lincoln until each approached
the cimacteric of his public career.
They were both born in Kentucky, Davis
in 1908 and Lincoln in 1909. They both
we're removed from their native State in
childhood, Davis being carried to the
Southwest and Lincoln further to the
Northwest, then SO called. Both Of them
began their political careers at the same
period, in 1914, Davis being then Pres
idential Elector for Polk and Lincoln an
Elector for Henry Clay. Both served in
the Indian wars of the west, and both
were elected to Congress about the same
time, 1915 and 1916. And, lastly, in
the parallel, in the same year, and almost
on the same day, they were called upon
to preside over their respective govern
ments, Davis as President Of the Conled-
crate States and Lincoln of the United
States.
