~ Supervisors met today and the meet.
ing was quite q stormy one. A pum
Der of accounts were audited. During
a discussion of the work done by the
County Surveyor one of the Supervisors
claimed that that officer was trying to
hood wink the people of the county,
The Surveyor resented the attack
when collision occurred, during which
lax stands and chairs were used as
weapons of attack and defense. Sew
oral blows were exch 1nged, but finally
the bellgerents were separated. After
quiet had been secured motion was
made to appoint another surveyor fol
Jefferson district, but action was post
poDed till the 18th inst, to which date

was commercial success. Hence,
the export trade gave most support
to this infant industry during it's
early struggles for existence. Ameri-
cans, however, have ceased to be
foolish virgins their lamps are now
trimmed and burning with native
cotton oil, but it may be news to
many that the domestic trade in cot
ton seed products is now fully equal
to the foreign consumption-and the
end is not yet, for citizens of the
United States are always apprecia-
tive of a good thing.
At this moment the cotton seed
oil market is "betwecn hay and
grass" The new oil will not flow
until October 20 or November 1,
while the supply of old crop oil is
almost depleted, and spot oil con-
centrated in two strong hands in
fact, the oil available is scarcely suf.
ficient to meet current consumptive
wants, but happily the policy OF
holders is to force prices only lit
tie, if any, above the present level

Cotton Seed OIL.

One of the most lusty of Ameri-
can infant industries is the manufac-
ture of cotton seed oil. To-day
there are $50 mills in the United
States, crushing two and a half mil
lion bushels of seed annually, exer-
cising s1OO,00O,OO0 of capital, and
giving employment, directly and
indirectly, to $4,000 people. Thirty
six years ago this infant was in
embryo. To-day upward of 10O,-
100000 gallons of golden oil flow
from the presses in the cotton belt
to be distributed throughout the
world and to be utilized in tho arts
and sciences, as we'll as for food.
The market for cotton seed pro.
ducts is deepening and broadening
every day. We prodigal sons of g
kindly soil and bencficent nature
were slower to recognize tho wealth
hidden in the cotton seed than were
the more economical natives Of penu.
rious Europe, even after tho 'scrush'

The Loss In Gold.

The returns of gold production for
the world during 1900 show sub
sta ial loss. 1t was expected there
wo DC continued gains. The war
in South Africa is to blame for the
shortage. Up to the time when
hostilities began in South Africa the
total annual output of gold had been
steadily increasing. 1t rose from
1902, 100000 in the year 1896 to
$306,585,000 in 1899, and would have
passed the s400,0oo,0o0 line if peace
had continued. But last year it fell
off over $65,O00,OOO and this great re-
duction was wholly caused by the sus-
pension of Transvaal mines. All other
gold yielding countries maintained
their previous rate of production or
increased it. The Transvaal's output,
instead of being S110,0OO,0O0 year,
as it would have been but for the
war, is now little over $7,0O0,OOO a
year.
From time to time facts arise
which emphasize anew the famons
declaration of President Kruger that
the subjugation of the Boer republic
would cost a price that would stag
ger humanity. When the account
is made up-Great Britain's ex-
penditure of a million dollars day ;
the destruction of property in South
Africa; the loss of hundred millions
year in the production of gold from
the mines, and the incalculable loss to
both England and South Africa in
the death Of thousands of men-it
will be conceded that the warning
was not exaggerated.

1t is now generally known and under
stood that drunkenness is a disease and
not weakness. A body filed with poison
and nerves completely shattered by peri
odical or constant uso of Intoxicating
liquors, requires an antidotc capable of
ncutralizing and eradicating this poison
and destroying tho craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now euro them
solves at homo without publicity or loss
of time from business by the wonderful
"IIomo Gold Cure" which has been pcr.
fected aftor many years of close study
and treatment of inobriatcs. Tho faith
full uso, according to directions, of this
wonderful discovery is positively guar
antccd to cure the most obstinate case,

ords show the marvellous transformation
of thousands of drunkardS into sober.
industrious and upright mon.
Wives, cure your husbands! Children.
cure your fathers! Tho remedy is i'm no
sense nostrum, but is specific for this
disease only, and is so skilfully devised
and prepared that it is thoroughly solu-
bic and pleasant to tho taste, so that it
can bc given in Il cup of tea or coffee
without tho knowledge OF the person TAX
ing it. Thousands of drunkards have
cured themselves with this priceless rem.
ody, and rs many moro have been cured
and made temperate men by having tho
"Curc' administered 10y loving friends
and relatives without their knowledge in
toa or coilco, and believe to- day that thoy
discontinued drinking of their own free
will. DO not wait. DO not DO dcludcd
