WIRELESS METHOD
 IS GREATeSUCCESS
GOVERNMENT TESTERS SEND MESSAGES SIXTY MILES, AND IT IS BELIEVED THAT A LoNG-FELT WANT IS CERTIFIED.

Norfolk, Va, April 2l.-Tests of the gov ernments new system of wireless tels- graph were made yesterday at Roanoke Island, Pimlico Sound, before a numbe of naval experts and correspondents. The tests were in charge of Professor Regt- nald Fessenden of Allegheny, Pa, who is now attached to the weather bureau ser vice and who Is the inventor of the sys- tenn. From what could be learned late tonight it is acknowledged that the feas- ibility and practicability of sending wire less telegraphic messages at sea, quickly and accurately by the new system, has been demonstrated beyond doubt. The experiments were conducted from Cape Hatteras to Roanoke Island, distance of sixty miles by an entirely salt water route.
 It Is stated that General Greelys nasty departure to Washington was for the purpose of being mt when his asso- ciates at Roanoke Island will make an attempt to send a wireless message to the bureau at Washington, possibly tomorrow.
 All who have participated in the test made are sangune that the new system will prove a great success.

schools for the colored race in the South. and is doing an advantageous work.
 Every town has It's character. Talla- dega has. perhaps, the most remarkable character in all Alabama. He doesn't live in town. Indeed, he lives exactly 13 miles from the courthouse. He has no su- perstition because of the distance. h. deed, he has lived there 80 years. He Is six feet tall and he always walks when he comes to town. His name is Larry Horn. He walks with staff of bamboo or large cane. His staff has been bored out and in order to make 1t of proper weight he fills 1t with good old moonshine corn whisky. It Is six feet long and holds a full quart when he starts on his jour ney to town. It is ingeniously arranged and oorked at the top, and the casual ob- server of this stan would not suspect anything unusual about it-certainly not that 1t contained a living, throbbing dis pensary The owner of the staff has 72 living children and grand children, and himself and his descendants have quite a little town in what is known as Horns Valley. Their farms, producing fruits, vegetables and grains, support them com fortably.
 There is another man near Talladega, by name w. J. Mckenzie, whose picture appears herewith anu WuO iS iAdhii6 o great success in cultivating fruits = par tioularly strawberries He has five acres in strawberries this year, and he expects to sell a full s10o0 worth of strawberries from his patch. Last year he sold $20o worth from a single acre. He sells them here and ships them to Selma, Montgom- cry and Anniston. MT. Mckenzie told me today that he gathered last year as much as 100 bushels in one day. He has gotten as many as 100 crates from an acre. A crate contains A boxes. In other words, he has gathered e4OO boxes from one acre. At s cents a box this means $12o worth of berries from single acre.
 MT. Mckenzie tells me that other farm CTS in this neighborhood propose to join with him in raising strawberries next year. and perhaps the combination will be abls to ship in carload lots at time. As it Is now he is compelled to ship by express, and express charges in a meas ure eat up much of the profits.
 Another farmer in this section who Is making much money out of trucking Is W. H. Moody, tall. stringy, read-head-

ed fellows, with jagged red whiskers. who came down here from Ohio about eight years ago and bought land at " sn acre He has made it pay him net profit of from $25 to $50 an acre because of his skill in raising fruits and vege- tables for market.
 Indeed, there are a number of intelli- gent farmers about Talladega who are making money from the lands. Many men in proportion to their investments are making much more out of tilling the soil than are those who are delving in the minerals.
 While in Talladega, MT. Blackman amused himself by getting pencil sketches of some of those who are con spicuous about the town. Mir, J. E. Soley. who runs a furnace and brown ore mines, and a railroad. is enthusiastic on the subject of the brown ore deposits of this neighborhood. Blackman got him as he was exhibiting g sample of newly found ore.
 Then one observes Judge J. D. Camp, the probate JuSge of Talladega County. who not only knows the law, but Is the authority of the county on good horses ard clever jokes. Indeed, 1t Is said he is writing a book on these two subjects.
 Of course everyone will recognize the fes lures of J. Wellington Vandiver, the Mayor Of Talladega, who Is known far and wide for his joke-telling proclivities. as well as his sound judgment. He is not only the Mayor aud a wit, but he is lawyer and the register in chancery. and a lecturer and little bit of everything.
 Here Is Alex N. GaIber. who wants to be attorney general of Alabama, and who will probably get every vote in Talladega County and great numbe: of those in the state. He is a fine fellow. popular at home and abroad, and will make a good attorney general.
 Then one will observe c. c. Whitson, who Is a partner of John B. Knox in the lew, and who was a member of the constitutional convention and Of the last, Legislature. He is lawyer of great ability md much popularity. And judge G. K. Miller, who is judge of the City Court of Talladega, and who Is. by the way. the father-in-law of our Judge Sam usl E.

EIGHT-HoUR CLAUSE.
Representative Gardner of New Jer-
 sey Completes Report on Bill.

Washington, April 26.-Representative Gardner of New Jersey, chairman of the House committee on labor had com pleted the report on the bill limiting to eight hours the daily service of laborers and mechanics employed upon work done for the United States and requiring an eight-hour clause in government con- tracts with private concerns The report says:
 The United States has now entered the foreign market with the products of mod ern and rapid-working machinery It would seem that an early effect of this will be forced yielding to the adoption of like machinery abroad. If the longer day adds to the advantage of the com petitor, as contended by the opponents of the eight-hour day, it would seem that the more rigidly we adhere to the long day the sooner foreign hostile legislation against American products will be in- voked. Such legislation Is much more likely to be effectively inspired by indus trial necessity than by theory. alliance or general mercantile demands"

Treat Catarrh in Spring.

The spring is the time to treat catarrhs Gold, wet winter weather often retards a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna is taken during the early spring months the cure will be prompt and permanent. There can be no failures if Peruna is taken intelligently during the favorable weather of spring.
 As systemic catarrh remedy Peruna eradicates catarrh from the system wherever it may be located. It cures catarrh of the stomach or bowels with the same certainty as catarrh of the head.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case ana he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.
