Ceremony Performed at Tusca- Ioosa With Only Few Per-

BLOOD AND IRON.

You could not live an hour without iron in your blood.
 You could not get the benefit of one breath of air without this same iron.
 The blood runs the circuit of the body every three minutes and when it reaches the lungs each atom of iron takes two atoms of oxygen back with it to keep the fires of life going. This oxygen destroys waste matter and helps to restore your wasted tissues.
 If your blood lacks iron you lack that much of life; you fail that much to keep up 1he needed repair of your bodies-that is, you get run down and sick. This &C., counts for the life-giving properties of Dr. Harters Iron Tonic It supplies iron, and to do that 1t Is to restore the full bodybuilding power to the blood. This iron has a peculiar life-quickening func- tion; vitality goes down whenever any proportion of the iron is lacking. Vigor and strength returns just as surely when this element Is restored
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic helps sick or tired-out people quickest because 1t con- tains the particular blood-making and strength giving form of iron that the sys- tenn needs. This remedy purifies and en- riches the blood, 1t increases the activity of the stomach, liver and kidneys. It overcomes nerviousness and builds up vii tality and strength. It agrees with the most delicate and deserves your conf- dence because it has been doing all these things for forty-flve years. Prepared only by the Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, Ohio. Sold everywhere.

FRAT" DIDN'T LIKE IT

Tuscaloosa, September 23.-(Special.)- Nineteen members of the sophomore class of the State University were suspended this morning by President Wyman for in- dulging in hazing. It seems that a num- Der of the boys had been indulging in this infringement of the college regulations and one of the out-of-town rats" made complaint of 1t to his father by letter. The boys father it is said, wired one of the professors who reported the matter to the President An investigation fol- lowed with the above results. The terms of the boys suspensions vary from about two weeks to sixty days. Dr. Wyman was elected in June to the presidency of the university to succeed pr. James K. Powers, who was president of the univer- sity when the memorable insurrections of students occurred last December. When Dr. Wyman was elected to the presidency of the university he assured the trustees that he would conduct the university properly if he had to suspend every boy in it's halls. The action on his part with regard to the suspension of the yiolators of the college rules and regulations Is re- garded here as evidence that he intends to be an impartial president, regardless Of outside political influences.

 Encampment and Big Time.

Athens September 23.-(Special.) )-The members of Camp Hobbs, U. c. V., of this place, have just ended their annual encampment which took place this year at Camp Spring, an ideal place for the meeting of the old soldiers. and a more delightful encampment was never held by the old heroes than that of this year. They had plenty to eat, and 1t was well served The number present was not so large as in other years. They had the best of order, and every man present seemed determined to make this the most memorable meeting held in the history of the camp. The old veterans had story telIings, good music and everything that would enable them to pass away the hours most delightfully."-, and when the hour for breakfast came, they gathered about and sang that beautiful hymn, God Be With You Till We Meet Again" after which a comrade stepped forward and offered up a most befitting prayer to the giver of all good gifts for his guid- ing care and watchfulness over them dur ing their struggle in the sixties, and his tender and loving care since that hour, and begged for his continued grace and care until the taps shall be sounded for them, and the last roll call shall have been made Old Hundred being then sung, they broke camp, and departed for their homes.

Washington, September 23.-Rear Ad- miral Mortimer K. Johnson, commandant of the Port Royal naval station, will as- sume command of the Boston yards on October 1.
 Admiral Sampson will retire by age limit February g, 1902 He could retire before that if he wished, under the forty years service clause, on his own request, or he could apply for retirement to take effect immediately on account of poor health However, as naval officers gen. orally take pride in serving out their full term, 1t is probable that an extended leave of absence will keep Admiral Samp- son on the active list until the 9th of February.

CATARRfl

Catarrh has become such a common disease that person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met
 with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious than bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, in fact, complicated and very dangerous disease; if not at first, 1t very soon becomes so. The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system. Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis. factory and disappointing, because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. s. s. s.
 does. It cleanses the blood of the poison
 and eliminates from the system all catar- rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly and permanently the worst cases.
