 would be only drop in the bucket for
 the many needy and helpless soldiers in

 The members of the camp knew. he said, that not all men who had their names on the Confederate rolls had made good soldiers. Some of them had gotten no nearer the front than the conscript camp at Notasulga- That the fighters. the real soldiers, were not properly taken care of was the crying shame of this generation, said General Oates. He de- clared that the operation of the present pension laws was too expensive. It re- , oaired a State Board. whose only duty seemed to be to draw its salary. The State Board he declared was unneces' sary. He doubted that the county boards were necessary. The operation of the law was altogether bunglesome.

Malaria and Yellow Jack.

(From N. Y. Herald, January l4, la02)
 "The widow of Dr. LaZeare, who, in the employ of the Government went to Cuba, was inoculated with Yellow Fever through mosquito bites, and died applied to Congress for relief to-day.
 The above tells of the sad culmina- tion of a series of experiments by the Government, all of which proved con clusiveIy that the familiar mosquito is a dangerous vehicle for carrying Malaria, "YelIow Jack," and other malarial levers. Those who are exposed to mosquitoes should take warning. Nature provides a certain degree of resistance, which, when the bodily functions are in normal condition, is sufficient to ward of dis ease but if any of the functions are lag ging, if there is weakness, there is dam ger, and particularly if the blood is i'm pure or impoverished there is great dam ger. If you would escape, keep the blood pure and properly nourished with Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. That is ex- actly what it does, and has been doing for the last half-a-century. It is recog- nized everywhere as the best blood puri- fer and tonic in use.
 Houston. Texas, Aug. 1, 1901.
 "I have used Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic myself, and in my family for twenty-five years. and can heartily recommend it. I regard it as particularly valuable to ward of malarial and other levers"

More Harmful
 Than Alcohol
Overeating Worst Form
 of Intemperance.

If fyour food is undigested, you are un. derfed, no matter how much you eat. And the underfed man is, to the extent of the underfeeding, crippled for the battle of life. Ou the other hand, there is such thing as overeatinR. The harm done by indigestion caused by overloaded stomachs exceeds that from the increased heart beats caused by the use of alcohol or whiskey.
 Eat as much good food as you need but don't overload the stomach. If your stomach is weak it may refusk to digest what you cat. Then you.oughl to use good digestant like Kodol Dys- pepsia Cure, which diGests what you eat without the stomach's aid. This rest and the wholesome tonics con- tained in Kodol Dyspepsia Cure soon restore health. You don't have to diet. Don't eat too much. That's harmful. But eat enough and of sufficient varie- ty. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will digest It. 1t quickly relieves the sensation of fulness and bloating from which some people suffer after meals. It prevents belching and absolutely cures Indigestion and other stomach troub. les. Equally good for children.

PLANT SYSTEM DEAL
PRESIDENT ERWIN CONFIRMS ATLANTIC COAST LINE STORY
Transfer Will Take Place About July 1--Complications Arising from Change-other Railroad
 News and Gossip.

It is all over with the Plant System now and President Erwin of the present Plant Company confirms the Atlants Coast Line story, the transfer to take place on he 1st of July.
 For some years past the Plant Systen has been gradually going to pieces. th' downhlll pace being at times greatis accelerated Whether this state or ar fairs was the result of the bunglesome mismanagem of certain officials or no' is an open question. Several months age The Advertiser published story to the effect that the Plant would sooner or la ter pass into the hands of some other road. Of course the Plant people ridi- cuIed tho idea. Some time ago when Mrs Plant won the fight in the long con test over the will of the late H. B. Plant, The Advertiser predicted that it was the beginning of the end of the Plant System, and now the end has come.
 Recent events have caused it to appear that there was an affinitA if nothing else, between the Louisville and Nashville, At Iantic Coast Line. Georgia Railroad and Atlanta and West Point and Western of Alabama. Now. whether the Louisville and Nashville is mixed up in this At lantic Coast Line, Plant System deal or not remains to be seen.
 Some weeks ago 1t will be remembered that President Harry Walters of the Coast Line with President Milton 1T. Smith of the Louisville and Nashville, and President Wickersham of the West ern, went from here to Selma. The osten' sdble object of the trip was, to make ar arrangements for the joinpt passenger sta tion to be erected in Selma by the Louis vile and Nashville and Western. The Georgia Railroad from Augusta to Att lanta Is operated by the Atlantic Coast Line. the Louisville and Nashville hav- ing "unloaded" on the latter road. Now whether there is anything in the story of the Eastern mail coming from Washing ton by way of the Coast Line. Charleston. Augusta and Atlanta, and the Western from Atlanta to Montgomery, where the Louisville and Nashville gets it. remains for the future to develop.
 The Advertiser has 1t on reliable in- formation that from Graceville the l.. and N. will extend the Geneva line to Cottondale on the line of the Pensacola division of that road. This will mean the short line to Florida alluded to about a year ago in The Advertiser. as from Cot tondale there Is straight shoot to River Junction. From River Junction to Jack sonville, the Plant has roundabout line. and whether the friendly relations of the Atlantic Coast Line and L. and N will cause the latter road to get into
