DANGER JUST AHEAD,

Prominent Professor Speaks About the
Threatening Things Abroad at This
Time of the Year.
1T is surprising how many people are sut-
fering to day from so called coughs, colds and
Influenza"
The remark was made by very prominent
professor, connected with one OF the leading
New York hospitals. Continuing, he said:
1t is not these things that are troubling
people. hut it is an advanced form of our old
enemy. the grip. People feel out Of sorts,
sneeze. have pains in the muscles and bones,
have no appetite. lose all interest in the world
and wonder what is the matter II is thegrip;
nothing else.
Now, all such symptoms need to have
prompt tleatment. The attack must he met
into something serious. / know of but one
way to certainly avoid these troubles which
are now so common, and that is, 90 imme-
diately counteract them by using a good
pure, strong stimulant Nothing of the ordi-
nary kind, but something pure and scientific.
For this purpose nothing has ever eQualed
Du1ys Pure Malt Whiskey, which is &C
tihc people to he the only pure, medicinal
malt whiskey upon the market"
The words OF the professor are true and
they carry wonderful meaning to many
men ana women who are suffering with the
nrst symptoms OF grip, or else grip in its ad-
yanced stages. For all such people we offer
word Of advice; which is TO take the best
means to overcome these troubles and do not
permit any dealer to swerve you from your
purpose to have that which has proven itself
by years Of use, TO he the best and purest
stimulant In the world.

WILSON'S BILL ON THE RACK
The Senate Committee APT to Make
Many Changes.

The Income Tax Feature May Be
Missing When the Bill is Sent Back
70 the Senats-Coal May Go Back
70 the Dutiable List-A Further In
crease in the Tax on whisky.
Washington, Feb. Sat 10 O'Clock this
morning Senators Jones, of Arkansas,
Mills and Vest, the subcommittee III
charge of the tariff bill in the Senate,
resumed their Iabors, and with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Jones, remained at work
until noon Experts of the treasury
department have been assigned to assist
the committee, and all speed possible,
consistent with thorough work. w i'll be
made by the subcommittee. They con-
tinued their work again in the afternoon
until after o'clock.
TO REPORT MONDAY.
The subcommittee expect to make
their report to the full democratic COM
mittee on next Monday week, and the en-
tire committee on the following day, if
the present plans do not miscarry. 1t is
understood that the adjournment of the
Senate until Monday of next week was
taken for the purpose of giving the sub
committee the entire time for the prose
cution of their labOrs.
THE RAISING OF REVENUE.
The entire day was taken up with the
consideration of the question of revenue,
and no time was spent upon the different
schedules of the bill. The subcommittee
has been engaged almost exclusively upon
the question of revenue, and every day
makes it palmer that the bill will be de-
voted as largely as possible TO the ques-
ton of raising revenue.
THE INCOME TAX.
There is said to be some opposition in the
subcommittee to the income tax and
enormous pressure is being brought to
bear upon the subcommittee to provide
for revenue in some other way. Mr. Jones,
of Arkansas, is an advocate of the income
tax, and is still firm in the belief that it
is best. He will, it is understood, yield
to the Judgment of his colleagues
if he is convinced the bill will be
endangered by its retention. 1t is not
unlikely then that when they present
their draft of the bill TO their democratic
colleagues, this section, which was the
cause of much contention in the House,
may be found missing.
THE TAX ON WHISKY.
1t is understood that the commissioner
OF internal revenue has recommended to
20 cents gallon on whisky, and the tax,
as recommended by the subcommittee,
will probably be $L20 a gallon.
A great pressure is being brought
to bear upon the committee to
put coal back to the dutiable list, and in
this matter Senator Daniel is one of the
most energetic workers. He wants duty
of 80 per cent. but those who are in a
position to know say that rate is i'm
o,aff, slh d Il INIT hot AN,fr
of from 80 to 40per cent, may be put on
coal when the committee reports the bill.
NO DUTY ON WOOL.
There is a slight disposition to put
small duty on wool, but it is said that
this will be so utterly repugnant to the
majority of the party that it would not
be countenanced by the full committee if
the Subcommittee were to so report.
The committee has practically agreed
hat there snail be a duty on sugar, but
exact rate has not been liked.

CANES AND UMBRELLA HAN
DIES.
An Industry That Is Waiting to Be
Developed.

Developed.
The United States produces annually
probably l0,000,00 to 1900, 900 canes and
umbrellas. Where is the raw material to
manufacture the same obtained, how
much does it cost and have we in the
south any material that would answer
this purpose, are all questions of interest,
as there is ample room for the production
OF new article of commerce.
Anyone who has travelled in the inter
Tor has often admired the wealth of vege-
tation in swamps and hammocks and
there is greater wealth of cane and
umbrella raw material to be found there
than in any part of the more thickly set
tied and better cultivated states The
chief is climber called Souple Jack. One
vine will often produce several thousand
rough umbrella handles and canes. The
bark is smooth, glossy and dark green.
1t should be cut at winter time SO as to
prevent cracking.
The various briars. if the bulby root is
dug out and left to a portion of the shoot,
make very attractive handle. The
black briar is about the best, but all
brlars, as well as their roots, have com
mercial value
A wild plum orchard, such as is found
on nearly every plantation, will produce
many hundred specimens to the acre The
root which is usually at right angles
with the stem should be dug, and loft to
the cane. The plum has a nearly black
bark, which does not pull off easily, and
which looks handsome when vanished.
Young oak, hickory, or sweet gum sap
pings, if dug out by the root, make a
very good stick
The rough canes are cut feet inches
in length and tied in bundles of so to
1000 according to size. They will bring
at wholesale from $50 to $50 per 900.
Handles s to 10 inches long, with a to 5
inch hub or crook, are shipped in bags,
bring from Sl5 10 $50 per 1000. Any
large firm will purchase several millions
of such stock annually. With
cheap steamer transportation to
New York, Philadelphia and Boston,
which probably manufacture two-thirds
of all the canes and umbrellas produced.
there should be no trouble to dispose of
large amounts of crude canes and UNI
brella handles. A dealer in Savannah
would do well in shipping and eventually
in manufacturing.
A man with little taste and ingenuity
can easily cut and bundle from 200 to 300
canes per day, and even at the low price
of cents each he would make excellent
wages. OF course, much depends on the
taste of the hand that gathers
the rough material. That is easily
the exporting point will assert and re-
ject all that is worthless. With a little
capital and careful inquiry as to what is
wanted an excellent business could be
built up. The employment of some expe-
rienced carvers and cane workmen would
be the first step towards establishing a
factory. Q. B. WARRAND.

PAVING JEFFERSON STREET.
Some Suggestions in Respect to the
Mattar.

Matter.
Editor Morning News: l see by report
of council that they propose to lay Jeffer-
son street with Belgian block
This will be a great mistake upon the
part of the city, as jefferson street is en-
tirely too narrow to act as thoroughfare
for the entire city, and pass about 1900
vehicles daily. 1t would be much better
to pave the eastern side of West Broad
street and divide the travel, by making
two outlets to the southwark.
jefferson street would then be relieved
and the wear and tear much reduced. A
small amount of shell, now and then,
thrown in the holes would keep it in toll
cradle order. Should council decide.
however, to go on with paving Jefferson
street, | take it for granted they will
hardly make any additional change, as
all the other shelled streets are in good
condition. and the fact that Jefferson is
not the same is not the fault of the prop
erty holders on this street, but due to the
fact that e. cry cart or carriage, going
southwark, passes over this street
In adopting the plan pursued by the
northern and western cities to assess The
property abuttlng this street, they have
only adopted part of this plan Assess
ments in northern cities are of two kinds,
local and general. When a street is a
convenience TO the general public, the
assessments are general. This street is
certainly used by the entire public The
street is dusty and sloppy, and disagreea-
BILE to the residents on its borders. This
Smelling is no advantage to the property
holder but is disadvantage and if the
proposed work is done, it should be done
out of the general public funds, as the
public alone derive any benefit from said
work. | hope council will see the Justice
nd iaF. Of
them due consideration.

BROUGHT A SMALL AMOUNT.
The R. V. Nottingham Stock Of Drugs
Sold for 1905 80.

There were fourteen purchasers of the
stock of r. V. Nottingham & Co., which
was sold at public outcry by Sheriff W. F.
Bloise on the steps of the court house
yesterday. The principal purchasers,
however, were Messrs. James Foley. J.
H. Oppenheim, Orear & Co. and Charles
jacobson, The property brought, all
told, S305 60.
Mr.. Nottingham had previously taken
from the store all allowed him by the
court, which he had applied for as a
homestead exemption, amounting to some
thing like 5000. This was levied on after
the sale by Sheriff w. f. Blois under the
Marstello mortgage against the stock,
which valves homestead rights.
The sale was conducted under an exc
cution from the city court in favor of Mr.
w. j. Dodd under judgment for 81 ,OO0
but it is doubtful if after the proceeds
have gone towards paying COSTS there
will be much left to apply to the payment
