rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms, of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipatcd cQndi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, pronpt-'
ly removes. That is why it is the Only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without dcbilitating the
organs on which it acts. ltis therefore

tcial effects, to note when you, ptlr!

which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by al rep

noon. Williams is 20 and Odell %
years old. They had been in prison
just two years. Both worked in
the overall factory. When Keeper
John Hannah walked up the aisle
of the overall department about
four o'clock with stack of garments
in his arms, Odell approached him with
a garment in his hand. The keeper
stopped, expecting that Odell had some
criticism to make of the workmanship
on the garment. Odell grabbed him,
pinninR his arms to his side. Hannah
yelled and Keeper Clark Crosby
ran to his assistance. Before he
reached him Williams bounded
over table and snatched Hannan's
revolver from his pocket. He turned
it on Crosby and ordered him to put up
his hands They went up. Then
Williams took Crosby's revolver and
passing it over to Odell, the latter re-
leased his hold on Hannah and put the
with their hands above their heads,
were commanded to march to-
ward the door of the shop.
Just then Keeper Burdick strolled
in from the packing department.
Odell took his gun off Hannah long
enough to order Burdick to throw up
his hands. Walking Hannah and
Crosby before them, Odell and Will
liams passed out of the shop door into
the prison yard. Before them, $50
yards away, was the prison gate, which
had just been opened to let wagon
of supplies pass out The convicts
had timed their uprising so as
to reach the gate before it had closed.
AS soon as the convicts passed out of
the shop. leaving Burdick uncovered,
he ran to the prison Office and gave
the alarm, which aroused all the keep
ers and guards, including those on the
prison wall. The convicts heard the
alarm, abandoned Hannah and Crosby
and ran for the gate. The
big doors were just coming to
as they started full speed toward
them. Storekeeper Durstain, who has
charge of the gate, saw the man ap-

III FIRE" And without slowing
up at all, he let FIRE. The bull
let knocked a chip from the stone
wall into Durstein's face. He shot
again, but the shot went wild. Breath
less, the men came to n dead stop
against the wall. Looking through the
wicket they saw Keeper Warner, who
had heard the alarm and had passed
out of the office door in the street to
head them off in case they caught
Durstein and compelled him to
open the gates for them. Odell
fred a random shot which sent
Warner chasing up the street. He
came back reinforced by five guards
armed with rifles. Meanwhile the
guards on the wall had taken their
places prepared to fire. Williams and
Odell saw that they were trapped.
They threw their revolvers over the
fence and surrendered. They were
shaekled and led to the dungeon.

hts footsteps on the broad bosom of
Gods green earth. He had three or
four big plantations-which for the
moEt part was all swamp lands and
Jest naturally turned to corn and cot
ton once year-and made money over
and under, gwine and comm. He
had cotton piled up in his front yard
and down there under the ginhouse
which had been there for years and
years. And as to the cash he had put
away in his old sock, and in the big
family ohist, and at the banks in town
nobody could tell the full extent
thereof. And doubt right serious if
old man Luther could tell for certain
how much he had raked and scraped
together of this worlds goods.
But all at the same time he was for
ever and eternaIly hard run and SO blast
ed poor till, to hear him tell it, he didn't
know how he would manage to keep
out of the poorhouse. He was too poor
to wear anything but the plainest
clothes and but precious few of them.
He was too. poor to spare any money
for the church or the cause, and as 10
the widows and the orphants, raley
don't reckon they had ever heard tell
of man by the name of Luther. He
was too poor to eat enough when he
was hungry, and too poor to sleep
sound when he was tired and broke
down.
What do you reckon made the old
man so felonious poor with all of that
land and cotton and mules and money?
l put that question to Blew Scroggins
oncst upon a time, and Blew he an
swered it in his own plain, blunt way:
~''I can tell you what makes old man
Luther suffer so from the aches and
pains of poverty" says Blew. HE
would walk acrost hell on a rotten
rail for two bits"

The general confusionment in re-

Of the riddle which Andy Lucas give

three of us was nothin more than

school together over at the cross roads.
Andy and Blew they had got into y

that, Blew"
Well, BIev he couldn't cut through
and had to give it up, though Andy give
him till next mornin to work the sum il
he could.
So Blev het went home and told his
father, old man Jerry Scroggins, about
it and called for help. Naturally, OF
course, the old man couldn't see
through the riddle and it pestered him
powerful. He scratched his head
and racked and ransaclSed his brain till

Old man Hiram ne come out snortin

went on to the mainest question.

She Thought He Must BE Drunk.

Uncle Josiah Jernigan is one of the
men which, OWN to the scandlous hot
weather and sorry crops and politics
got so melancholic and low down along
in durin of the summer.
So Uncle Josiah he goes around to see
old DR.. Leatherwood, and told him
great long rigamarale about his
broke down and long-sufferin condi-
ton. After feeIin and thumpin around
considerable, tryin to find somethin
the matter with the sick man, the old
doctor had to give it up.
There aint blame thing the matter
with you, Josiah, exceptin fearful bad
case of the mully-grubs, with little
mixtry of pure meanness," says he.
Now you go on back home and eat and
sleep and be virtuous and happy. Sing
song or two along the road as you go,
and whistle few tunes-sometLin
quick and devilish if you can, Josiah.
And then, when you git home, look as
jolly and cheerful like as you can. Kiss
the children all around and then pitch
in and hug and kiss your wife two or
three times, like you used to some
OI AL W LEdA AdJ y
and well-that's the idea, Josiah. /
know you feel worse than the devil, but
make out like you feel jest simply bully,
and the good feelin will grow on you
as natural as dirt. You may not be so
very young and well, but you amt too
old to play the game that way for few
days anyhow, and that will be bet
ter than medicine and doctors for you. .
Well, uncle he took the old doctor S
advice and went home that evenin in a
good humor with everybody and every
thing in the whole discovered world.
He sung songs and whistled tunes along
the road as he went - anything from
"Amazin Grace" to "Mollie, Put the
Kettle On"
And then when he rid up at homa he
dismounted and got down as quick and
nimble as he ever did in his younger
and galIin days, when he went a-courtin
Matilda Ann Dudley some forty years
ago. He kissed the children one and
all, and jest naturally loaded EN- down
with sweet crackers and stick candy.
Then he paid his double-breasted re-
CARDS to his good wife, Aunt Matilda
Ann, and hugged her and kissed her,
and kissed and hugged her over and
over three or four times.
Aunt Matilda Ann she caught long
breath and shifted the air and looked
mighty bad puzzled and pestered md
surprised.
''I can't smell no whisky, Josiah"
says she, "and it aint fer me to bring g
ecandaIafion on the family, but you do
act to me powerful like you mought
be drinkin, If not drunk"
But anyhow, the old doctors head
was as level as it was long. And Uncle
Josiah Jernigan has now about recov-
cred from his bad low-down spell.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Tennessee OIL Fields.

The well on McFerrin's farm &C Wood
bury, Cannon county, is down $50 feet.
The well six miles south of Sparta,
White county. has been drilled to q
depth of something over 200 feet.
The we'll on the Bonham farm at Liv-
ingston, overton county, is down 1,7OO
feet.
Work has begun on the Samuel Myers
farm, five miles north of Cookeville.
The well on the Fisher farm at Car
thage, Smith county, is down 900 feet,
and the one three miles southwest OF
Cookeville, on the Lewis farm, has been
drilled to depth of 1900 feet.
A we'll has been drilled on the farm OF
John C. Davis in Pickett county, and a
small quantity of oil struck at 45 feet.
The we'll on the John Gunter farm in
Pickett county has been cased at zoo
feet.
The we'll on the Reynolds farm in
Pickett county is down 1900 feet
A strange feature of the Tennessee oil
field which is puzzling oil men is that
oil in some localities was found in 1866
at depth of from 80 to 100 feet, and
now it cannot be found on the same
lands at the same or greater depth.
The question is, where has it gone?
As general thing, the drilling is
quite hard, and in all the wells of much
depth very hard, finty limestone has
been encountered, which has been diff
cult to get through, requiring caution on
the part of drillers to prevent breaking
their tools or getting them fastened.

Mr.. Mckinley at Canton on Friday,

Mr.. Smalley pays an enthusiastic

In cable dispatch sent from Colum-
