As Dr. Cook explained, there has never
been real modern scientific attempt to
explore the antarctic zOno, and no attempt
of any kind for over 90 years The last
was that Of Sir JohnRoss In 1899 TO 1912.
and the ono before that was the American
expedition under Wiiks in 1888, Since
then, while many expeditions have gone
north, none has penetrated south, and the
only k Wedge gained of &c has been the
moro or less reliable reports brought back
by daring whalers and sealers.
When seen by a reporter, DR.. Cook said
"The plan has the approval of several
scientific bodies, and they have promised
aid. While / have got together much of
the necessary equipment, ] still need mon
ey, but am confident Of getting it before
the time to start
"The whole thing viii cost only $50, 600.

nothing is known, and yet knowledge
of it may prove of vast importance. Tho

THE DOUGLASS CASE.
1t is Continued in Spite of the. Prisoners
Protests.


y special to the Lynchburg News SAYS:
The case of Douglass charged with the
murder of the peddlcr, was called at this
term OF the court on the first day-thc
10th Is. +. Long. Esq. prominent
lawyer. of Statesvillc. y. c., came here
on the first day with ten witnesses from
that State, who know the prisoner well
prepared, ii is understood to prove that
the prisoner was in that State the day the
murder was committed. Mr. Long has
Messrs. y. j and :. ID May, of this
place, associated with him in the defence
The prosecution moved Tor Il continuance
or II postponement of the case, which was
stoutly resisted by the defence. on the
ground that the witnesses for the defence
were here at Il great Inconvenience, and
at their own expense, the prisoner being
without means, and without friends.
The case was postponed by the county
court till the 22d, when it was again call
ed, and the prosecution moved for a post
ponement again, which was resisted by
the defence, Mr. Long making II touching
appeal i'll behalf of the defendent, stating
that it was hardly probable that the wit
nesses from North Carolina could he in
duced to return here again, and that it
would work great injustice to the pris-
oner. The case was laid over until We'd
hcSuity, Wheh aiululonal counSel was en-
ployed to aid in the prosecution, and, on
motion of the commonwealth, the trial
was postponed until the next term of
court Much sympathy has been eX-
pressed for the witnesses, who have re
manned here at Inconvenience for eleven
days for the purpose of attending the
trial, and who now have to return to
North Carolina without the case being
tried
This is Il peculiar case. II is claimed
that number of witnesses here identify
the prisoner as being with the murdered
man, lille II number OF reputable wit

have known the prisoner for many

Beware
OF the knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been n
sufferer from scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck. and all efforts
OF physicians in Washington, ID. c..
Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
r.oval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your SIS. long ago,
1 would have escaped years Of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with dcep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out per1na
nently.
