Doctors Can't
Cure It!

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affection, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it
from the system. =

DEBARDELEBEN
 BUYS LANDS
 -..s4s The Alabama Man Purchases Several Mineral Tracts Near Cedartown, Georgia.

Cedartown, Ga., August 31.-The Stand- ard says today that H. F. De Bardelebeu one of the great iron men of Alabama, has recently made extensive purchases of iron ore lands in Polk county. His efforts now are directed toward obtaining 1000 acres of fine iron ore land near Cedartown and lying between that city and Cave Springs
 Through his agents he has already bought over 4,0OO acres and in few more days several thousand acres will be added to the tracts he now owns. Beginning at point known as Hematite, about four or five miles south of Cave Springs on the South ern railway, the De Bardeleben purchases form continuous link half way to Cedar town and embrace lands rich in deposits of iron ore.
 This movement means the certain con- struction of a railroad from Cave Springs or some other point on the Southern rail- way direct to Cedartown.
 Whether or not it Is MT. De Bardeleben's intention to build a furnace on his tract is not known.

RYAN WHIPS MOFFAT
Given Decision at End of a Twenty
 Round Bout

Dubuque. Ia., August 1s.-Tommy Ryan was given the decision over Jack Moffat at the end of twenty round bout here to- night Ryan had his opponent going in the thirteenth round and could have easi- ly put him out. He let down. however, and made no attempt to end the fight. Ryan did not show mark while Moffatt's nose and mouth bled freely and his breast and neck were all skinned from the constant jabbing he received.
 The 5000 spectators were disgusted be- cause Ryan did not extend himself. Up to the thirteenth round the men gave a pret- ty exhibition and Ryan had all the best of 1t.
 In the preliminary bout between George Kerwin, of Chicago, and James Sellers, col ored, of Marshaltown, la, Sellers seconds threw up the sponge in the end of the sev- enth round. It was a ridiculous exhibition. Kerwin, as a ring freak, met his match and the spectators enjoyed their antics hugely. The betting on the welter weights favored Ryan, three to one being offered with no takers.

faithless. treacherous and a coward could not thus invite inspection.
 Put your knife in as deep as you can, democrats. and if you find faults turn me off," Senator Morgan exclaimed amid applause.
 He complimented and congratulated Alabamians that they lived in a state with a population equal in intelligence, religion and education, as much esteemed, and so- ciety as high as any other state. When he first went to the senate, the negro was dominant in politics in Alabama. This has been cleared, but In the clearing Alabama had received the only discreditable re- proach-discreditable to the man who made it. He referred to the alleged election methods in the black belt, and the resolu- ton offered by Senator Allen. the populist leader, seeking to have the democratic gov- ernment oyerthrown in this state.
 g,tate Had Bt en vindicated
 On this charge the state had been vindi- cated. Without one word in opposition to the resolution it had been defeated in the senate, only receiving six votes. We nave always had to rely on the democratic party to protect us against force bills and to sus- tain white mans government.
 "Can @ populist tell me that his party has stood by the south when their leader has thus sought to besmirch the fair name of our state?"
 They seem to overlook the more danger ous question of epidemic of crime absolute ly unmentionable-a crime so serious, so terrible that a gentleman can't mention it. This deviltsh, licentious spirit was not in the negro up to the time of the civil war. We are not responsible for it, but those who had hauled the black man out of dark Africa for the purpose of making them- selves rich were. It Is occasioned by the intense hatred of the blacks for the whites. There was only one remedy and that lies in the domination of @ white mans party.

AN OFFENSIVE ALLIANCE
Nicaragua and Honduras Against Salva
 dor and Guatemala

Managua, Nicaragua, August 1O.-The meeting of President Zelaya, of Nicaragua. and President Screci. of Honduras, on board a steamer July 15 is believed to have resulted in an offensive and defensive al- llance between the two countries against Salvador, and probably Guatemala. Prep arations are being made for a possible war in a few months between Nicaragua and Costa Rica for possession of the watershed of the canal route through Nicaragua from the Pacific to Castillo on the Rio San Juan del Norte. then using that river to the Caribbean sea as 1t bounds Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The latter country wants to gain control of the entire route.
 President zelaya has issued call for s5OOOOO loan. Subscriptions started in an active manner but fell off to almost noth- Ing in a few days. The coffee crop prospect is much better now than at the same period last year.

VARIOUS OPINIONS
McKinley's Census Proclamation Not
 Thoroughly Understood in Lucha

Havana, August 31.-President McKin- ley's proclamation has been received in va- ricus ways by the Havana newspapers. La Lucha publishes nothing, evidently waiting to see what the others will say first
 La Discussion has only cartoon rep- on the different factions, the party of inde- pendence smiling and the party advocating a protectorate assuming a studious air. while the annexa tionists are sad.
 Fl Dfaro de la Marina considers that the varying opinions are proof of want of clearness in the proclamation and inti- mates that this is more significant for what it does not say than for what It does say.
 Commenting upon the absence of the words, Cuba is, and by right ought to be, free and independent" which were in the proclamation of 1898, Fl Diaro remarks: 'The absence Is accentuated by the fact that the American newspapers call atten- ton to the subs Stitution of the phrase, 'ef- ffcient system of government for the word 'independence' That phrase is precisely the one used by Senor Canovas del Castillo in the Spanish cortes in 1897 when speaking of the Cuban problem. The same promise is given to Cuba now that was formerly given to Porto Rico and the Philippines. both of which are now American colonies. The declaration is the most explicit that has been made by the United States gov- ernment since the memorable resolution of congress-
 Fl Neuvo Pals observes: "We did not doubt the sincerity of the United States government when the Americans declared that Cuba ought to be free, though at the same time reserving their right to judge when the Cubans were fit to govern them- selves. We are still of the same mind
 I've don't see what relation the taking of the census bears to the establishment of a Cuban republic. The census Is certainly the base on which to construct a states which. being constructed, may show its worthlessness, thus putting off indefinitely the day of independence"

government of Porto Rico at least "shall be placed in operation by executive decree'' so that "a congressional enactment of gen. erai laws" might not change the status Of the United States and make 1t a part of the constitutional territory of the United States" He also quoted the McEnery reso- lution to the effect that 1t was the purpose to hold, but not annex as "an integral part' of the United States. 4,,.
 Commercial Standpoint
 Mir. Tomqinson also showed that annexa- ton would hurt, not help, export trade; that the reason Liverpool was the cotton market instead on some other European seaport town was because of England's money, which would have to be transferred to Manila before we can transfer the cot ton depot to that place. He said we need ed more money so that we could buy more cotton goods at home, and hold and man. ufacture and ship the surplus, making our own seaport cities the distributing points. That we can get all the benefits in the Orient without owing any nation; could secure naval station, cotton depot free trade, the $20, 900 paid Spain and any thing else we wanted by treaty If we gave those people liberty. He showed that this nation with no colonies had increased IS per cent. in export trade in the last five years, while colonial England had de- creased per cent; that trade with the tropics was insignificant compared with the temperate zones; that colonies had al- ways been an expense.
 Why ThIs Country is Great
 ''This country has become great because of her free institutions. No spectre of large standing army has awed and op- posed the people; they have enjoyed the sense of the equal right to the use of their own faculties in the pursuits of industry and improvement and surpassed the world In enterprise and monition. Shall we, at the beck of some nonresident and mys- terious destiny abandon a policy under which we have become great to join in the armed camps of Europe, with their 2,OO0,OO0 regular troops and a navy of 1,500 shfpsF Now, if we cannot whip the world, the world cannot whip us. The Philippines would be our vulnerable point. as 1t was Spain's.
 The Flag of the Nation
 MT. Tomlinson said he opposed taking down the flag that represents the history, the traditions and the future of this coun- try. He opposed taking down the flag that the consul general of the United States presented to the Filipinos, saying, Ut is the emblem of tine liberty when you are fighting to attain: the stripes or red stand for the blood shed in battle; the white for the purity of motive; the blue for the azure of the sky; the stars for the independent states of the Union. am not for taking down the flag fioa ting over the American soldiers fighting at the com- mand of the country; but the flag that Me- Kinley Is attempting to raise over de- pendent colony no longer represents the republic, the hopes and aspirations of man. kind, and I am for pulling 1t down and pulling 1t down forever" he concluded.
