If all the moray sent out of Alabama was kept ait home, we would have a wealthy people. MT Culver-estimates from the number of guano tags in his office tha. s2,000,O00 will go out of the state this fan to pay for fertilizers. It will require S0,000 bales of cotton To pay this sum, and 1t will take the profits on 800O00 bales. There is no profit to the state in 5-cent cotton if the money for fertilizers is sent out of the state. Then there IS ccJton hosiery and cotton under wear, which conid be manufa otured as cbeaply in Alabama as anywhere, but at least g, COG, 600 Is ser1t out of the state each year for these articles.

Intoxicatiou.

JERSEY CITY, \. j., Oct. CA dead
man was arraigned before police
sergeant in the Seventh street station
early yesterday morning and com
mitted to cell on the charge of intox-

be John Collins. Is years old, was dis
covered at five o'clock in the morning
lying in what was supposed to be a
drunken stupor in a hallway. The
man was taken to the station and
several officers carried him to the
sergeant's desk. He was braced against
the desk, and while two officers held
him up another searched his pockets
and thus ascertained his name he
body was placed in a cell, but two
hours later the sergeant, surprised
that his prisoner should remain SO

Maidstone Cares q Cancer
Salisbury Democrat.

Salisbury Democrat.
Green Dameron has suffered many
years from a large cancer on the
right side of his nose. He has tried
all remedies that contain any cuta
tive properties, but has been unable
to secure anything but temporary
relief. Last week, however, he re-
ceived letter from a friend in
California, telling him IF a man in
that state who was bitten by mad
dog last April. The man had large
cancer in few inches of the place
where the dogs teeth pierced his
flesh. This had been pronounced
incurable. A maidstone was applied
to the wound which the dog had
inflicted and the poison was drawn
frCm it. The stone adhered sever al
days-a thing which rarely happens
in case of a dog bite. But nothing
was thought of 1t until a few weeks
ago, when the cancer entirely disap
peared. The sufferer is we'll now
and it is the opinion of the medical
fraternity that the maidstone was
responsible for the remarkable cure
Mr.. Dameron, after hearing of this
case, lost no time in securing Mr.
Thomas Ferguson's stone and ap
plying it to his cancer. The stone
adhered, and although it has been
on the sore several days, shows no
signs of relinquishing it's present
position. Mr.. Dameron hopes that
it will draw all the poison from his
face and heal his cancer. His hopes
seem to be built on good foundation

had almost despaired of his ever being
cured, when by the advice of friend we
gave him S.S.S. (Swift's Speci6c), and
at first the Inflammation seemed to in
crease, but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid of the poison, by forcing it out
of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided i'm
provement was the result, and after he
had taken dozen bottles, no one who
knew of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized him. All the
cores on his body have healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect health"
Mr. a. T. Morgan, one of the pronni-
neut druggists of Macon. and 4 member
of the board of aldermen of that city,
says: II am familiar with the terrible
