FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
The Danger in That Common Dis
 ease, Catarrh.

Because catarrhal diseases are so com mon and because catarrh is not rapidly fatal, people too often overlook and neg lect il until some incurablc ailment de- velops as result of the neglect.
 The unframed condition of the membrane of tho nose and throat makes q fertile soil for the germs of Pneumonia and Consumption. in fact catarrhal pncumo- mia and catarrhal consumption are the most common forms of these dreaded dis cases which annually cause more than one quarter of tho deaths In this country.
 RC Cmt dies for catarrh are almost as nu- mercus as catarrh sufferers but very few have any actual merit as a cure the only good derived being simply q temporary relief.
 There |. however, very effective rem edy recently discovered which is rapidly becoming famous for it's great value in relieving and permanently curing all forms of catarrhal diseases, whether To- cat q in the head throat. lungs or stom- ach
 This new catarrh cure is principally composed of a gum derived from the Eucalyptus tree. and this gum possesses extraordinary healing and antiseptic properties It is taken internally in the form of lozenge or tablet, pleasant to the taste and so harmless that little children talse them with safety and ben eft.
 Eucalyptus cil and the bark are some times used but are not so convenient nor so palatable as the gum.
 Undoubtedly the best quality is found in Stuart's Catarrh Tablets which may be found in any drug store and any ca ta-rh sufferer who has jed douches, in- halers and liquid medicines, will be sur
 ,l s-,1r.Y, mt ,, few days use of Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets which are composed of the gum of the Eucalyptus tree. combined with other antiseptics which destroy the germs of catarrh in the blood and expel the ca tarrhal poison from the system.
 Dr. Ramsdeil in speaking of Catarrh and its cure says: After many experi- ments have given up the idea of curing catarrh by the use of inhalers, washes, salyes or liuud medicines l have always had the best results from Stuarts Ca- tarrh Tablets; the red gum and other valuable antiseptics contained in these tablets make them, in my opinion. far superior to any of the numerous catarrh remedies SO extensively advertised. The fact that Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold in drug stores under protection of trade mark should not prejudice consci- entious physicians against them because their undoubted merit and harmless char acter make them remedy which every catarrh sufferer may use with perfect safety and the prospect of a permanent cure.

 MT. Moore declared that In his opinion bad roads are more than anything else responsible for the heinous crimes com mitted in this country. If the people would give the conntrymen. better roads to carry civilization to the ignorant, crime would be minimzed. With better roads all of the people would be. educat- ed and poverty and crime would be les sened.
 The speaker advocated the working of convicts on public roads He showed that Tennessee is building roads with convicts for Sl,000 to $1 zoo a mile that could not otherwise be built for less than 5000 a mile. He declared that a state had no right to permit convict labor to com pete with honest labor.
 Mir. Moore denied that the good roads train was operated to advertise ma chinery, and said that he regretted that made of such a great national industrial movement. The chief object of the move ment, he said. was organization, and MT. Moore appealed, to the delegates to take the matter up and organize for the betterment of the State.
 Mir. Poole then introduced M. A. Hays, Land and Industrial Agent of the South ern Railway In Boston, who, responded in behalf of the Southern Railway, and Mir. Hays was warmly received by the convention. ts
 Mr. Hays Is an earnest speaker, and he made an impression early in his ad- dress. He said that the greatest problem of industrial reform was the problem of transportation. So far as the cities and towns were concerned the railroads had solved this problem. The good roads

A DREADFUL AWAKENING.
Uncle Mingo Thought the Old Boy
Had Him Sure.

Uncle Mingo has weak point; it is a
periodical disposition to partake too free
ly of the cup that cheers and also inc
briates. Formerly the old man was pref
~ bad in this respect, but of recent years
he has reformed considerably in conse-
quence of a certain experience.
His frequent sprees used TO worry the
''old oman beyond measure, and she en-
listed the aid of the minister in the ef-
fort to persuade Uncle Mingo to turn from
his evil ways.
The parson did his best but found it
very difficult to impress the old man with
an adequate idea of the enormity of his
conduct.
"Brudder Mingo," he said one day, dis
yer life you is leadin' has only two roads
runnin' throo it,"
can wot dey is?" asked Uncle Mingo.
Zone is broad an a narrer road, wien
goeth to perdition, an de udder is mar
rer an a broad way, witch leadeth to
sho' obstruction"
"De debbily' exclaimed Unble Mingo.
You kim easy call ON de debbil," re-
torted the parson, cause soon or late
he is liable to git you. Some o desc
days wen you git on one o your sprees,
you is goin' to pop off jis' like dat; an
wen you wake up, you'll fin yourself cen
dat dreadful place Were de wurrum neber
dieth, an were de fire is never squench. y
Uncle Mingo laughed goodnaturedly,
and promised to try and do better.
One day not long after he got drunk
again, and not wanting to so home 10
the 'ole oman" in that condition. he
sought quiet spot in an old field, where
he could peacefully sleep his liquor off.
party of boys who were engaged in
hay-making discovered the old man
asleep, and promptly concocted con-
spiracy.
They formed around him circle OF
dried straw and grass, not enough to in
jure the old man, but enough to make
considerable blaze. When this had been
accomplished to their satisfaction, they
set fire to it on all sides at once.
When the fire was cracking and blazing
merrily all around to a hight of some i've
or six feet, they set up series OF de-
moniacal shrieks and yells.
These yells and the very perceptiole
heat woke Uncle Mngo. He rose TO a
sitting posture, and saw that he was en-
tireIy surrounded by wall OF hre.
Through the smoke and fame he could
dimly make out the forms of impish-look-
ing creatures, some of them stirring the
fire with pitchforks, and all giving utter
ance to blood-curdling screams.
"Gemaneddyy" cried Uncle Mingo. IN
tones of Mortified despair; II be dog-gone
if ebbleting de minister say amt come
to pas5 for true! Here | is, dead, an
gone 60 hell, sho' 'nough!'

HIS FOURTH ANNIVERSARY.
Rev. DR.. Jordan Gave Statistics mt
First Baptist Church.

The congregation at the First Baptist
Church yesterday heard the pastor, Rev.
Dr.. John d. Jordan, discuss the four
years connection he has had with the
church. The day was the fourth annlver-
sary of that connection. and the pastor
reviewed the progress of the church dur
ing his incumbency.
When Dr. Jordan came 20 Savannah to
assume the pastorate, there were a few
less than 900 members There are now
more than 500, and the congregation is
the largest of any white church in the
city, save that of the Cathedral of st .
John the Baptist. During the four years
thirty-hVe members of the church have
died. while 5l9 have been received. Dur
ing the last year there were n received
and that without a single protracted
meeting having been held
The pastor spoke of the excellent condi-
ton in which all the departments of the
church are maintained. He expressed his
appreciation of the uniformly kind and
considerable treatment that has been ac-
corded him during his stay in Savannah,
and spoke of the extremely cordial re-
lations that have ever existed between
the pastor and his people. There has been
unanimity of sentiment and opinion
that has been largely responsible for the
excellent results that have followed Dr.
Jordans pastorate
After the holy communion, the consre-
cation turned to the election of deacons
to serve the ensuing three years The
election resulted in the choice of the old
board, as follows. Messrs c. w. West.
d. b. Morgan, j. F. Sweat, A M West.
William F. McCauley. w. c. Powell.

NEW FARM TOOLS NEEDED.
Bulletin From the Central Railroad
Discusses the Best

The land and industrial department of
the Central Railroad has issued another
bulletin for the farmers, setting forth a
number of farm tools that are needed in
the South and giving a description of
them and the prices at which they may
be bought The bulletin closes with some
facts and advice about the culture of to-
bacco About tools, the bulletin has the
following:
AT recent meeting of the Georgia
state Agricultural Society the subject of
The Needs of the Southern Farmer
was fully discussed. Opinions varied
greatly and no particular conclusion was
reached, but all agreed that IL a farmer
expects TO obtain anything more than
mere living existence from his labors. he
must used improved methods. In other
words, the farmer must be up-to-date
just as much as the manufacturer. AS
human labor is the most costly item
in the production of any article, such
methods of culture should be adopted
which win produce the greatest crop with
the least labor. And as improved farm
tools enable one to cultivate both a
larger acreage and in a much more thor
ough manner than can be accomplished
without them, every farmer should take
advantage of every farm tool that will
facilitate his work. 1t is only by lessen
ing the cost of production that a profit
can be expected. To do this we must
raise as much as possible on limited
acreage by cultivation in most thorough
manner, rather than skim over large
acreage in slip-shod manner. Thus i'm
proved tools should be used TO cultivate
the present acreage devoted to cultivated
crops more thoroughly. rather than in an
attempt to increase the present acreage
