CURED OF MALARIA.

From the Free Press, Harrisonburg,
Va.
YES" said Mr.. w. II. Bowman, of
Harrisonburg, Va, in conversation
with reporter, about two years ago
/ was so run down in health that |
was compelled to resign a government
position at Washington. | had no APP
petite, severe pains in the back, and
was threatened with malaria.
after returning home | purchased
box of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and the result was like
magic. Really, | was astonished at
the great improvement in my health,
and after taking some four or five
boxes | felt entirely cured. My nor
lieved of the pain in my back, and the
malarial symptoms had wholly disap-
peared. That was, as | said, about
two years ago, and today ! am a well
man.
II recommended the pills to some
of my friends, who were great suffer
ers, and they also used the medicine
with great benefit"
you consider the pills a very great
medicine, then, Mr.. Bowman" we
queried.
~ do, indeed; / consider them a
blessing to suffering humanity, and
nothing is too good to say for them"
The foregoing is but one of the
many cures that have been reported
as following the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. Diseases which have here
tofore been supposed to be incurable,
have succumbod to this wonderful
remedy as readily as the most trifling
ailments. In many cases the reported
cures have been so remarkable that
leading newspapers have gone to work
and investigated them. The only re-
suit, however, has been to find every
detail of the cases correctly reported.

men have been cutting cane. They
work in gangs under overseers. From
thirty to forty negro men and women
are in each gang. Each hand carries
great fiat knife, about as long as a
butchers cleaver. 1t has hook ON
the end and a saw on the back The
cane as il stands i'm the field is from
eight to fifteen feet high. The pieces
which are carried to the sugar mill
are not more than five feet in length.
| The stalks must be trimmed of their
leaves. They must be cut off at the
top and chopped off close to the
ground as the best of the sugar water
is found in the lower part of tho
stalk. II is wonderful how quick the
cutters do their work. AS they stand
in the fields they face what looks to
be a solid wall of cane, and they chop
their way, as it were, right through
this wall. You see their knives flash
ing. Every blow counts, and they
throw the stalks into piles or rather
windrows of cane clubs. AS they work
the overseer watches them, and time
keeper goes along beside them and
sees that every man and every woman
is at work. The wages are very low.
They sleep in cabins, a number of
them lying on the floor and getting
their rest as best they can. The hours
are from daylight until dark, and there
are few stops. At the same time that
the cane is cut great carts, drawn by
three mules, are driven into the field.
Another gang of laborers throw the
cane into them and it is carried off to
the railroad track, which runs through
cane is hoisted into the cars by means
of a pulley, a whole cart load being
taken into the cars at one time. When
a train load is ready the engine carries
it to the refinery and it is turned into
sugar.
\ great change is going on in sugar
making throughout this whole Sec
ton. The sugar kings of the day be-
fore the war have disappeared. The
old sugar mill, which used to run by
horse power, is IA thing of the past,
after as careful business methods as
those of making iron and steel. \
great many men from the West, East
and Middle States have succeeded to
the ownership of the sugar planta-
tions. \ number of the estates have
been bought up by corporations and
the great sugar landlords grow less in
number every year.
In 1890 there were twelve hundred
and seventy-four sugar producers.
am told that there are now less than
ness, the sugar seems to be going into
the form of trust. This is not SC
much so in regard to sugar planters
: as to sugar makers. The big refineries
all buy cane. and the small planter OF
the future will sell his cane to the re-
fineries. \ large part of the GodchauN
cane is purchased of small planters
and the managers of the refinery here
told me that the planters were getting
all the money out of the business. Now
that Mckinley is elected, there viii
probably be a movement organized tc
put bounty on sugar. If this is done
the business will boom and prosperity
will come to Louisiana and other sec
tons where sugar is raised.
