Is Wilson'S Estate Inso1vent ?


The business and social circles of Tren-
ton received the biggest surprise in years
yesterday, when it became public that
the executors of the estate of Samuel K.
Wilson will apply this week to the Court
for a decree declaring the estate insolvent.
Just before his death Mr.. Wilson, who
was so years old, made statement to
commercial agency that he was worth
100000. Investigation by the execu-
tors has shown that the estate owes over
s., 900, 900 to banks and individuals, and
that the assets are not likely to reach that
figure.
Mr.. Wilson conducted two large wooden
mills in Trenton, and was interested in
various enterprises. His lamp manufac
turing company went into the hands of an
assignee few week ago. 1t is stated that
this concern and Wilson's wooden mills
have been losing money heavily for four
years past Mr. Wilson estimated that his
stock of wooden goods on hand was large
part of his assets, but these have been
found to be damaged by moths, and much
of the stock is out of fashion.
Mr.. Wilson took pride in always keep
ing his mills running. In his will he
made number of requests to churches
and charities, but there is only the re-
hottest chance of their payment. He had
nearly three quarters of million dollars
in real estate when he died, and these
properties were only mortgaged for $40,
900. These properties, practically clear
gave him great credit with the banks anC
with individuals from whom he borrowed
and he was always considered singularly
successful business man. All the banks
of Trenton are involved, but it is stated
that none of them will be seriously affect

THE HOME GOLD CURE.
An Ingenious Treatment by which Drunk
ards are being cured daily in
Spite of Themselves.
No NoxiOus Doses. No Weakening of the
Nerves. Pleasant and Positive
Cure for the Liquor Habit.

1t is now generally known and under
stood that Drunkenness is disease and
not weakness. A body filled with poi
son, and nerves completely shattered by pc
riodical or constant use of intoxicating liq-
uors, requires an antidote capable of neu-
tralizing and eradicating this poison, and
DESTROYING the craving for intoxicants.
Sufferers may now cure themselves at
home without publicity or loss of time
from business by this wonderful ''HOME
GOLD CURE" which has been perfected
after many years of close study and treat
ment of inebriates The faithful use &C
cording to directions of this wonderful
discovery is positively guaranteed to cure
the most obstinate case, no matter how
hard a drinker. Our records show the
marvellous transformation of thousands of
Drunkards into sober, industrious and up
right men.
WIVES CURE YOUR HUSBANDSl !
CHILDREN CURE YOUR FATHERS! I!
This remedy is in no sense a nQstrum but
is specific for this disease only, and is so
skilfully devised and prepared that it is
thoroughly soluble and pleasant to the
taste, so that it can be given in cup OF
tea or coffee without the knowledge OF
the person taking it. Thousands of Drunk
ards have cured themselves with this
priceless remedy, and as many more have
been cured and made temperate men by
having the ''cure" administered by loving
friends and relatives without their knowl-
edge in coffee or tea, and believe to-day
that they discontinued drinking Of their
own free will. Do NOT WAIT. Do not

GAME IN TIE SOUTH.
Unusually Abundant This Year. ChOi
Spots For The Hunter.


"There is more game of every kind in
the south this year than there has been in
decade" is the interesting statement made
! by Chas L. Hopkins, Philadelphia, Dis
trict Passenger Agent of the Southern
Railway, who speaks not only with the
personal knowledge of hunter, but after
a most careful and honest inquiry in the
subject before him Continuing Mr.. Hop
kins said:
i am confident that this will be proven
by those who go there to hunt. Naturally,
my knowledge of the matter concerns
most directly the territory traversed or
reached by the Southern Railway, but in
asmuch as this covers practically the en-
tire Southern sporting county, can safely
say throughout the South.
For several weeks l have been in cor
respondence with gentlemen in nearly
every hamlet, town and city along our
lines, and my request has always been for
an opinion on the conditions formed after
carefully observing the situation. 1 can
say that in every case the reports tell of an
abundance of game, nearly every cores
pondent reporting more than for many
years, and some more than they knew of
before.
SOME CHOICE LOCALITIES.
SIT would be hard to pick out any par
tIcularly favored spots, yet it seems that
the Southern Virginia country, eastward
Of Danville, which includes among other
places Chase City, Clarksville, Finnywood,
and Keysyille, and the magnificent
stretches of Western North Carolina
around Hickory, Winston-Salem, Taylors-
vile. Mooresville, Mocksville, Statesville,
Elkin, Wilkesboro and Charlotte are as
we'll supplied with game as any other
section, and are, perhaps, better than some
III providing conveniences for all sports
men who may choose to visit it.
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and
Tennessee are alive with game, and shall
be very glad to provide any hunter with
the information at my command.
Around Chase City, l am informed,
both deer and wild turkeys are more plen
tiful than in very many years. The Vir-
ginians have protected their big game well,
and the benefit of judicious laws we'll en-
forced is becoming apparent. The other
states, too, are taking care of their game
with the same good results"
GAME LAWS EXPLAINED.
The Southern Railway has just issued
for the season of IeoT-o2 a beautiful illus
trated book, entitled Hunting and Fish
ing in the South" which is descriptive of
the best localities in the South for various
kinds of game and fish, and outlines the
game laws of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, Ten
nessee and Mississippi.
Copies of the book can be obtained from
Chas. L. Hopkins, District Passenger
Agent, No. 828 Chestnut ST., Philadelphia.
