The Dispensary in South Dakota.

By majority of 1,613 the-enterprising and daring and wide-awake young state of South Dakota has imbedded the dispensary tion. It has done even more than this it has, in fact, outrun the South Carolina plan, and adopted one that includes both the manufacture and the sale of strong drinks. The South Carolina law does not deal with the. manufacture of liquors. The board of control in that state buy where they can get pure liquors at satisfactory prices, whether 1t be made in Kentucky, or in Kalamazoo or at home. The place of manufacture is not considered. but the manner and place of sale are carefully de- fined. But in South Dakota the people have &C., cepted an amendment which declares that ''the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors shall be under exclusive state con- trol, and shall be conducted by duly author ized agents of the state, who shall be paid by salary and not by commissions
 This may apparently be plain sailing, but
 
 there are breakers ahead. In the same Mo- yember election the people adopted the ref erendum. putting it in the constitution, and under it's terms any bill that per cent of the voters desire to have submitted to a popular vote must go to the people. When the legislature passes bill putting the liquor amendment into operation, that bill will certainly have to be tested before the people. It may be ratified, and then again it may not be. If not. the state win neces- sarily be put on the prohibition basis. This seems the more probable upshot of the case, especially in view of the fact that the peo- pie will not be apt to tax themselves for the purpose of building and establishing breweries and distilleries and the constitu-

Egyptian Cotton in the Black Belt.

Mir. w. w. Wentworth, of Kearney, Tex, has grown this year Nit Affif, or Nile cot- ton, on his plantation, and has demonstrate ed that the silky fibre can be successfully grown on all the cotton lands of his state, at the rate of 25O pounds of lint to the acre. Mir. Wentworth claims that the Texas fibre is superior to the best fibre from the Nile delta ----a
 If Nile cotton can be grown on all cotton lands in Texas, 1t certainly can be grown in CTS of the chief cotton counties of the state should give the subject some atten- tion. The commissioner of agriculture should at once procure all available and trustworthy information, from Kearney. thus giving the Black Belt planters an early start in this important matter.
 The importance of change in fibre can not well be overrated. Ordinary upland is worth about five cents pound, while Nile cotton is worth in Boston this season four teen cents;, and the demand for 'the silk,
  characterize Nile cotton, is annually in creasing. Boston imports yearly this cot ton to the value of about 5000 900. Mir. Wentworth has experimented with Nile seed several years, and it is claimed that he has at last proven that a superior fibre can be grown in Texas. Presumably then it can be grown in the Black Belt of this state.
 Nile cotton Is vastly superior to ordinary American cottons in many uses. It makes softer and better Things; it is stronger in all threads, and 1t can be combined with wool to great advantage. It is put into high grade "woolen goods" New England manufacturers have paid an average price of sixteen cents for Egyptian cotton, and be brought by production down to ten cents. The lower prices of American cot tons have operated this year to reduce the price of Egyptian cotton in Boston to four teen cents
 Commissioner Culver could serve Ala bama admirably in circular furnishing the fullest possible information, giving the process by which Egyptian seed can be procured and adapted to Alabama soil The information in the hands of The Age Herald does not show whether seed fresh from the Nile will produce much fruit the first year or not. All such questions should be solved by Commissioner Culver.

Safety in Travel.

Statistics bring out unexpected results sometimes. Take, for example, the facts foundHi in the report, just published, of Gen. eral Dumont, inspector of steamboats. The boats of this country carried in the last fiscal year six hundred and fifty million passengers, and only eighty-four of this vast number lost their lives on the water. When these figures are compared with those of railroad travel, or of horse-and- wagon traffic, or even of pedestrianism, it begins to appear that man Is safer on water than on land.

INTENSE SUFFERING.
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery, But Not a Patent
Medicine.

Or. Redwell relates an interesting
account of what he considers a re-
mnrkable cure of acute stomach
trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the
use of the new discovery, Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
lie says: The patient was man
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create acid
and gases in the stomach; he had
pains like rheumatism in the back,
shoulder blades and limbs, fullness and
distress after eating, poor appetite and
loss of flesh; the heart became affect
cd, causing palpitation and sleepless-
ness at night.
| gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS
an experiment ] finally bought fifty
cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he wa2 to- ~ appearances fully cured.
Thcrn wa no more acidity or sour
watrry - no bloating after meals,
the aplu. t,lc vas vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and ~ pounds in
weight of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores
vet I consider them a most valuable
afdition to any physicians line of REM
cdI.a. rs they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or in
valids or in any condition Of the
stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but
vegetable and fruit essences, pure pep
sin and Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
tion, biliousness. constipation and all
arrangements of the stomach however
slight or severe.
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the Stuart Co., Of Marshall, Mich,
and sold by druggists everywhere at
fifty cents per package.
