AN OBJECT LESSON.

Japan's industrial awakening, about
which some manufacturers in this country
appear to be alarmed, is responsible for
the closing up of an old-estahlished in
tlustry of Milford, Conn. For consider
able period big straw mating manu-
factory was in operation in that place. A
short time ago it was determined to re-
move the entire plant and business to
Kobe, Japan, where labor and raw ma
terial are to be obtained at an enormous
discount from the rates prevailing in
Connections. Last week the final stepin
the removal was taken, and the Milford
industry was closed out. The mating
syndicate will, of course, sell its product
in the American markets as heretofore!
and, owing to the policy of the goldbugs,
be able to reap a bounty of nearly 100
per cent on its exports to this country.
This ia the way the tariff thinkers with
gold-bug tendencies are fostering manu-
featuring industries--in other countries

His
Lip Gone!

There is not more familiar figure
on the streets of Atlanta than the man
whose picture is here shown. Every
body knows him by sight and it will be
remembered that years ago he began
to wear on his upper lip, just under
his nose, a small piece of court plas-
ter, not larger than a silver half dime;
this plaster he has worn constantly,
though it gradually increased in size,
as everybody knows, until it was as
large as silver dollar. This man is
M. M. Nicholson, who resides at the
corner of Anderson and Curran SITS.
1t was thirty years ago, that he first
noticed tiny scale, like piece of
wheat bran, on his lip. He at first
thought it only fever blister, but it
was not long before his cheeks became
diseased and painful to the touch, and
he soon realized that he had fallen a
victim to that most dreadful disease
Cancer. 1t rapidly increased in size
and severity, and remembering that
his father had cancer when he died,
and that his uncle also lost his life by
this terrible disease, which destroyed
his tongue, throat and left eye, Mr..
Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed,
and realized that his condition was
more than serious.

THE A, & p. SALE.

1t is ngain current in financial circles
that the A., T, Il S, +. will build an in
dependent Pacific coast line west from
Magdalera rather than pay $4,000 mile
for the Atlantic K Pacific road to be sold
under foreclosure early IN July. 1t is
said the A., T.. e. s. Il. can build its own
line and present its stockholders with a
far better property than the A. d f. for

MuzztiNC THE COLTS.

1t appears that the Republican colts are
on the eve of selling their birthright for
the mean sort of mess of pottage.
There ia much that ia truly significant
back of the move to make Mr.. Miguel A.
Otero chairman of the Republican terri
torial central committee. Students of
events political will readily see the point.
At the last convention to nominate
candidate for delegate to congress Mr..
Otero did the graceful thing by his party,
and, although he was the choice of large
number of delegates, he refused to push
himself forward or to be pushed, and as
result Catron received the nomination.
Naturally, such magnanimous conduct
would call for a return of the compliment
this year by Catron giving way and per-
uniting the nomination of Otero for dele
gate. But no such thing as this can hap
pen, because Catron again wants the
place, and hence it is that he and his i'm
mediate followers have determined to
kill off the opposition of the colts--the
young men Of the party--by throwing to
their chief the paltry honor of managing
the campaign" It's cold-blooded piece
of business thoroughly characteristic OF
the Catron crowd.

tsold at Cripple Creek.

The best way to get there is over the
Santa Fe Route. The fabulously rich
gold mining district of Cripple Greek,
Colo, is attracting hundreds of people.
By spring the rush bids fair to be- enor-
nous. That there is an abundance of
gold there is demonstrated beyond doubt
Fortunes are being rapidly made.
To reach Cripple Creek, take the Santa
Fe Route, the only standard guage line
direct to the camp. Through Pullman

Giving up entirely his business, he
went to Cincinnati and remained for
several months under treatment of

wards treated in Elmira, New York,
where the cancer was twice removed,
but he declares that death was prefer
able to such treatment. 1t returned,
however, and the disease seemed to be
Of a most viru1cnt type; the doctors af-
forded absolutely no relief, the cancer
spreading all the time, eating out en-
tirely the partition in the nose, as well
as the upper lip and gums.
'Some months ago." he says, II be-
gan to use S. S. S., though admit with
little faith that it could cure me, but to
my surprise, few bottles afforded
some relief. Thus encouraged, I de-
termined to give the medicine thor

the progress Of the disease seemed
checked. I continued the medicine,

remedy i'll the world, and as my condi-
ton is pretty generally known, every
body will agree that the cure is indeed
a most remarkable one. s. S. S. has

Give Catron a chance and he will ap.
point Catrons unto the third and fourth
generations.
"Nspotism" is a very pretty word Of
Latin derivation, but the absence of an
adequate term to express our delegates
qualities shows that his genus was un-
known to antiquity. "Porcine" scarcely
meets the requirements of the occasion,
the covering of the animal to which this
adjective applies is as finest silk when
compared with the coarseness of the
bristles which "Tom" Catron wears.--Al-

The dispatch does not contain the

m1t1gated. 1t says that the sentence
is of such excessive rigor as to produce
almost as painful an impression of sur

adds that fifteen years in the Pretoria

equivalent to death. If the prisoners
were banished there would be no reason
to object, but the decision of the coun-
