ness which is not healthy. The utterly
worn out feeling experienced by SO
many women is not due as n rule to
the physical exhaustion of labor, but to
the draining away of the strength by
wonanly diseases Nervousness, head
ache, backache, and sleeplessness are
but a few of the common results of such
a diseased coudition. Yet thousands of
women suffer from wouanly diseases for
years and make little or no effort to
effect a cure. They treat womanly dis
ease as if it was purely local thing, and
only wake up to the disastrous effect of
the disease upon the general health,
when there is an utter break down, fol-
lowed perhaps by years of painful ILL
ness.
HOW TO BIZ CURED.
Any woman suffering from womanly
disease can almost surely be cured by
the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. This statement is based on the
testimony of many thousands of women
who have been cured of womanly dis
eases (often when aggravated by neglect
or wrong treatment, and generally of
serious and painful nature), by the use
of rFavorite Prescription"

SUGAR BEET GROWERS MEET
Leading Members of Nebraska Association
Are in 0msha
GENERAL DISCUSSION OF THE INDUSTRY
Chicf Purpose of Meeting Is Consider
alton OF Bills Now Pending
In Congress Relative to
Bcet Culture.

The Nebraska Beet Sugar association held
a meeting at the Commercial club rooms
yesterday afternoon, beginning at ? o'clock
From out Of the city there came NJ. X. Al
len president. Ames; W. G.. Whitmore, Val
ley, and James Walsh of Benson. large
number of the Omaha members were In
attendance.
Mr.. Allen in calling the meeting to order
announced that its purpose was to consider
laws now pending in congress which will
affect the sugar beet industry. In brief
address he took up the question OF the
reciprocity treaties with tropical islands
and countries now being considered and
stated that in each case the sugar producers
Of the United States would be injured should
the treaties be ratified. To the satisfaction
OF the members Of the association he showed
that where the tariff was reduced on raw
sugar by treaty It not only reduced the
revenues Of the government, but brought
the sugar beet raisers OF the country into
competition with cheaper labor and the
more advantageous climatic conditions of
the tropical sugar plantations.
Advantages In Nebraska.
He then referred to the conditions of the
sugar beet industry in the state, showing
that for some things Nebraska is better
situated for the successful cultivation of the
crop than many other states which are now
in advance of this state in acreage and
yield The principal advantage possessed
by Nebraska In this regard is because OF its
geographical situation with reference to the
live stock markets. 1t has been demon
strated that the refuse of the beets after
the sugar is extracted is one OF the best
materials Tor fattening stock. Referring to
his own experience he said that at Ames at
present his company is feeding 900 sheep
which will be placed on the South Omaha
market when they are fattened and that
until the food became scarce, they were
feeding large number of cattle on the beet
refuse.
The reciprocity treaties were discussed by
the members present at length and at the
conclusion of the discussion the following
resolutions were adopted:
Resolved That the reciprocity treaties
with the British West Indies, If ratified by
the senate, will endanger domestic sugar
production, an industry specifically prom
ised the aid OF the republican party
Resolved, That the suspension of the
Dingley law to payment of countervail-
ing duties on sugar imported from Russia
Is not fair to domestic sugar and involves
II risk of leading to "a much wider applica-
tiOn.
Officers Are Elected.
The following officers were elected: X.

PRICE SAYS HOLD Theodore H.
Price, of New York, sends out the fol-
lowing to people who have cotton: The
New York cotton market closed the
week at the highest prices recorded
since the publication Of the govern
ment report. This is in spite Of most
desperate efforts made by the bears to
minimize the importance Of the report
and Offset it by ridiculously big crop es-
Inmates from Mr.. Neill and other alleg-
ed authorities. Mr.. Neill's reafflrma-
ton yesterday of his previous crop es-
innate Of II ,250, 900 bales is a confession
of desperation on the part Of those who
sold cotton on the strength Of any such
absurd figure, and they are tonight
much chagrined to find that their ef-
forts to recover the cotton they have
sold have been unsuccessful. It looks
as II the cotton world had commenced
to appreciate the extraordinary situa-
ton with which it Is confronted, and 1t
Is evident that even II the crop should
exceed the government estimate and
reach 10000, 900 bales, which seems alto
gether improbable, that every bale of
cotton in existence will be wanted at
prices much higher than those now cur
rent. The situation Is entirely In the
hands of the producers and owners of
cotton at the south. They have only to
ask full prices for the cotton and hold
to secure them. The world must buy
and, in my opinion, Is going to buy
very promptly.

Do MULES EAT WOODS. A. Harris.
a grocer, of Charlotte, lost mule and
the better part Of a delivery wagon
yesterday. The wagon body was made
Of poplar. The mule was made Of just
simply ordinary everyday mule. Tues
day night the mule got out Of the sta
BILE, and set about task Of eating up
the delivery wagon. He ate the frame
work down to the floor and might have
finished the floor II he hadn't stopped
long enough to die.
Cam King, one Of the original two or
phans, was at the old court house yes
terday when he overheard Squire Max
we'll telling an Observer reporter about
the death Of Sam Harris's mule. II be-
rieve every word Of It," spoke UP King,
"and I will tell you why. Mules will
eat wood when they are wanting for
age and can't get 1t (meaning no refiec-
tion on Sam). At Staunton, Va, dur
ing the war, was in charge Of the
commissary wagons. We had plenty Of
corn for our mules, but for days they
had had no forage whatever. Well, one
night my mules ate five spokes from
a wagon wheel to which they had been
tied. That morning got a load Of
chestnut rails to feed my mules on and
they ate every one of them. Not a
mule died. What caused the death Of
Mr.. Harris mule I can't say, but I do
know that my army mules were great
wood eaters. s."-Charlotte Observer.

THE SMALLPOX.

There Is no appreciable change In
the smallpox situation in southern
York and northern Chester, the whole
country still being full Of the disease.
Hon.W. B. Love.>of McConnellsville,
was in Yorkville'o on Monday, and in re-
ply to inquiries he gave the informa-
tion that DR.. Bacot is still vaccinatfne
all who are willing to be vaccinated,
and doing what he can for those who
are suffering from the disease. The
only deaths reported so far are those
of an aged Negro and of Negro child.
There have been no new cases Of the
disease among the whites.
There are now three cases of the dis
ease on the chaingang, the victims
being Giles Darwin, Dave Logan and
VIII Thomas. Darwin and Thomas
are but recently from the county Jail,
where they had been with Will Jones,
who was the first prisoner to develop
the disease.
Dave Logan's case is somewhat pc
culiar. He had smallpox while on the
chaingang last spring, and was sup
posed to be immune: It was for that
reason he was put in charge Of Will
Jones, as guard and nurse. The fact
that he has taken tfA disease a second
time has caused some surprise.
Logan, Darwin and Thomas are oc-
cupying a pest camp some distance
away from the chaingang, and all three
are getting along nicely. Darwin, how
ever, is said to be fearful looking OBJ
ject-from head to foot a mass Of re-
pulsive sores. There Is no reason to
fear that he will not recover.

for grave doubt as to his probable re-

For some time past Broad river has

thing else.
Mr.. Rutland Mickle is still quite ILL.,;
but is considered somewhat better.
Mr.. T. I. Barber, who has been with

of the first bale Of cloth, has gone to
Gastonia to take charge of the cloth
room in the big mill now being COM
pleted at that place. Mr.. J. w. Grice,
who was also with us from the begin
ming, goes with Mr.. Barber.
There Is information here to the ef-
feet that quite a number of families
from the surrounding country are cal
culating on moving to this place soon,
provided they can find house room.
There is little question Of the fact that
the manufacturing Of cotton cloth from
the raw material Is the most popular
industry in the up-country at this time.

can see that envy causes dissatisfac-
ton. We all know THE ENQUIRER as
yet counts her subscribers by the
hundreds while The Constitution num-
bers hers by the thousands. In fact,
1t is only natural for all the editors OF
little county papers to be jealous CT
Mr.. Smith. It is a pity though that
Mr. Smith was given the brilliant brain
instead of some Of the South Carolina
county editors. A SMITH AGENT.
If THE ENQUIRER has wrongfully
done Mr.. Smith any harm, that harm
can best be corrected through the col
umns of this paper. It seems to us
that both The State and its correspond
ent should have been among the first
to recognize this fact, In which case
The State would not have published
the above communication until assured
that 1t had been refused by THE EN-
oUIRER.
So far as we are concerned, we know
very little about Smith or his paper.
We have never seen either. The only
thing that has disturbed us is the fact
that Mr.. Smiths proposition is too
obviously an arithmetical impossibility.
We have no objection to Mr.. Smith get
ting thousands Of subscribers to his pa
per and making barrels Of money, pro-
vided he does not swindle sweet
young girls in their teens, widows and
orphans, etc." or use these people to
swindle other people.
The most striking statement In the
anonymous communication above Is
that in which the correspondent
claims to have been working for Mr.
Smith IA months and getting regular
pay. This proposition Is very interest
ing. We confess that we had no idea
that the Smith scheme had been in op-
Grafton so long. We are also willing
to admit that If this thing could live
IA months and pay all Of its agents as
per agreement, there is no reason why
it should not live fourteen years.
Also, If the statements of the cores
pondent be true, wonderful scheme IL
this thing of Smiths. 1t converts al
most the very ability to write into quite
snug little living, and virtually
solves the problem whereby one may
hope to lift himself up by his boot
straps. Because the thing is almost
too good to be true. We are still In
clined to be incredulous, and in order
that our doubts may be removed, we
would ask lone Of Smiths Agents." te
publish. name to The States anony'
nous letter. If, after this publication
it develops that this particular agent
has really been drawing salary for Il
months, and we are unable to find any
body who has been deceived, we prom
ise to urge the entire public to accept
the proposition and begin work writ
ing at home for Smith.
