PHYSICIANS Advice Was TO Give
Hoods SarsapariIIa.

"When our little boy was three years
old he began to complain OF his throat
and the side OF his neck. In few days
lump appeared on his neck and in short
time there were three OF them, each as large
as a common sized apple. We gave him
everything we could think OF, but without
benefit. After while we went to one
OF our best physicians and he said the
trouble was due to sc-oiula and the best
remedy he knew OF was Hoods Ssrssps-
rilla. 1 bought two bottles OF this med
icine and he began taking it and is now
cured. The Jumps rapidly disappeared
and he is gaining in general health"

The Engineering News, the lead
ing journal of its character in
America, copies the following from
the Brazil Medico, of Rio Janeiro,
for the benefit of American Engi-
neers about to start for South
America
"Dr. J. P DeRigo Caesar motto
ed that non-acclimated persons IN
Brazil, who had occasion to take
arsenic for any reason were not
molested by yellow fever, and he
commenced to administer it as a
preventive, with most satisfactory
results, confirmed by the eXpe-
rience of other local practitioners,
DR.. Rocha reports the use of daily
prophylactic doses of half mllh-
gram of arsenious acid administer
ed during the entire suLmer to
the force of a factory, over 200
men, for the last five years. The
men are frequently changing, are
most unacclimated, live in unhy-
gienic surroundings, and infected
localities, and take no precautions
against contracting the disease
During the terrible epidemic Of
1891. three of them were attacked
but soon recovered-exceptlonaIIy
light cases among the prevailing
mortality. In the epidemic Of
1896 twenty men contracted the
fever few days after their admis
sion to the factory, each having
received only a few doses of the
arsenic. But the effects were ev-
ident in the beginning of the cases
all dismissed from the hospital
in from four to six days. There
have been no cases in the factory
since 1896, although yellow fever
has scourged the city again and
again, and formerly rayaged the
factory. Persons Just arrived are
advised to repeat the dose three
times day the first week, twice a
day the second, and thereafter
once day. No one thus treated
has contracted the disease to date.

Death of MIR. Joseph Uni.

On Tuesday morning, October
3rd, Mr.. Joseph Uhl died at his
home in GreenvilIe, aged p years.
For long time past bis friends
and acquaintance had been aware
that the end Of the long and use
ful life Of Mr.. UhI was approach
ing. While not continually con
fined to the house, he had been an
invalid for more than wear, but
continued, almost to the last, to
take an active interest IN the busi-
ness Of the Planters Compress,
which he had managed with great
intelligence and success for many
years lie was a man of singular
~ pure, upright and generous
character, much loved by those
who we're nearest to him., and
held in respect and esteem by all
who knew him. His deeds of
charity and kindness and the rev
erence of his fellow men are his
best epitaph. Mr.. thl was a ma
tive Of Germany, but had spent the
greatest part Of his life America,
with which he was thoroughly at
filiated. He was OF the German
protestant faith, but belonged to
no church. His funeral services
were conducted at his home by his
friend, the Rev. Qulcy Ewing,
Rector of the Episcopal Church,
after which the remains were es-
corted by the order of Odd Eel
lows and many friends to the rail
way station, to be taken to Mem
phis for interment beside the grave
of bis wife.

to much needed changes in our
Leyee Laws aud will ut the pres

board in the issuance of certlfi-
Gates of indebtedness. We urge
the repeal Of the laws now author
l2ing the issuance of certificates
of Indebtedness for both high
water purposes and for rights of
way, and suggest in their stead
an act permitting the board to
issue certificates of Indebtedness
in any year not exceeding one
hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars in amount and payable within
twelve months from their date
of issuance. With such author
ity the board could, by anticipat-
ing It's revenue, contract for and
build levees in the summer time,
when work can be more efficient
" and cheapIy done. We will
prepare and have published bill
in accordance with the views of

Serious Fire.

The first fire with serious results
which has occurred in GreenylIle
for year took place on Sunday
night. the LIST inst, and destroyed
the handsome dwelling house Of
Herman Wilczinski, on Main
Street. 1t is connected that the
fire originated from a defective
hue, as, when discovered, it was
confined to the roof and top story,
which was almost destroyed be-
fore the alarm was given. Owing
to the distance from the central
portion of town, and the hardness
of the alarm, the fire company did
not reach the scene until the flames
had gained such Roadway that it
was impossible to subdue them in
time to save the house. 1t was
richly furnished, much of the
furniture beng destroyed, and
the loss is said to be we'll covered
by insurance.

evening. The day before had bemoan-

I was in possession of information va
ried and unexpected. had got on the
tracks of Mr.. Arthur Durant with very
little difficulty. Then had come the dis
covery of the photograph of the unknown
lady in -Mr. Gates room, which had
afforded me much surprise and given me
no little matter for reflection. And final
ly Mr.. Finnecure Vandeleur had startled
me with what he had told me of the
recent life of Lady Florence Mostyn.
What had learned in Gates room
had not been very tangible, but the &C
tor had given me facts and data which
were invalua ble-provided they were
correct. They opened out quite new
chapter in,the history of the unfortunate

Washington, Feb. 16 Under the
supervisor of the s,stistician, Hyde. of
the department. of agriculture. the cost
of growing cotton has beer Investigated
and the results of the Investigation are
to be published within few days 10 a
pamphlet. This report will show that
the average cost of producing an acre of
upland cotton in 1893 vas SIS 42,
sub divided iDso the following items
Rent 81 SO. plowiog 81 81, seeds

for 6 70 per pound bushels Of seed

Tae total return to the planter vas
$l9 03, which gave him net profit
Of $3 81 per acre. The coat of picking
cotton per hundred pounds was 44c.
while the cost Of producing the lint per
pound Was 5 27 cents Several theu-
sand cotton planters contributed to
these statistics and of the entire namber
represented 20 per cent. reported
loes. largely due to deficient production.
owing to drought or other causes.
The sea island cotton costs S2l 95
per acre, or an average of II SO. per
pound aed the total return for lint and
seed of sea island cotton was $28 IS.
which gave the planter net profit Of
Sc 70 per acre.
The planters that report profit 10
the raising of upland cotton produced
275 9 pounds per acre, while those that
reported loss Of produced only 176
pounds.
The effect of the use Of fertilizers in
the raising Of cotton is very distinctly
disclosed. and the general results is
that, in proportion as the quantity of fer
silizers used increased, the profit of rails
iog cotton per sore also increased.
