ufactures Of iron and steel caused a
reduction Of s1s,766,75s in the domest-
ic exports Of iron and steel manufact-
ures; the shortage in the corn supply
due TO the drouth Of 1901. caused a
reduction of $67,361 ,O99 in the value
of corn and corn meal exported. and
the fall Of upwards Of one cent per
pound in the average price of cotton,
as compared with 1901, resulted in a
reduction Of S23, 3,O21 ,624 in the value
of cotton exports, although the guam
dty exported in 1902 was greater than
that of 1901 Aside from these excep-
tional causes, ths export figures of the
year compare favorably with those of
preceding years. The increase in i'm
portations was chiefly due to an en-
larged demand by manufs- ,urers for
raw materials for use in manufactur-
ing the increase in the importations
of manufacturers materials of al,
classes being S697S2.22l; and 20 these
was added an increase of SO T03.269
in articles manufactured ready for
consumption. and s11 ,s59.75O in those
included in the class Articles of vol
untary use. luxuries. ETC., while in.
articles of food there was a reduction
of s21,151,457. The increase Of $50
14S,7s3 in importations has brought
the tosal import figures Of the year
to a point higher than ever before, the
total value of importations of 1902
being s9O3, ,320,94S, against $S66,40O,-
922 in 1898. the highest record of pre-
ceding years. The receipts Of mer-
chandise from Porto Rico Hawaii and
the Philippines in 1902 were SS9,61O,-

total shipments TO the islands ia 1902

THE Ladies Of the Maccabees is
one Of the largest fraternal in
surance organizations in the
country and sickness and death

to be paid out Of the treasury of the

have so successfully conducted its af-
fairs that among the secret orders

bees is regarded as a model. Among
the leaders of this great order IS
Mrs. J. M. Powell of Kansas City,

welfare of the organization more or

her to recommend Wine of Cardui
to the members of her organization.
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1902-12-03

Wine Of Cardui has benefited
every woman who has taken it. Such
a remedy is worthy every wsman's
confidence in the time Of sickness
when doctors fail and other medi-
cines do not bring the sufferer relief.
Wine Of Cardui will cure any un-
complicated cases Of irregular pc
riods and bearing down pains. It is
valuable during pregnancy, at child
birth and during the change Of life.
1t is not a strong medicine but II
quickly relieves female troubles in an
easy and natural way. II strength
ems the nervous system, acts directly
on the genital organs and is the
finest tonic for women known to the
medical science.

Chairman Thompson Takes Pride In
Election Results.
Thinks Democratic Majority Will
Foot UP 10000 or More.

Chairman Track M. Thompson, of
the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, is greatly pleased with the cleo
ton results. Now that the August cleo
ton ia over Mr.. Thompson is devoting his
energies to looking after the State cleo
ton in November. Talking of Thurs
days election to an American reporter
Friday night Mr.. Thompson said:
"We had returns from sixty counties
! in the State. The Republican majority
in East Tennessee perhaps will be from
Is, 900 to 10000, while the Democratic
majority in West Tennessee will be not
less than 10000. In Middle Tennessee
the Democratic majority will be 10000,
if not more. This will give us the
State by 10000 majority.
1--WE have heard from fewer counties
in West Tennessee than in any other
division of the State. Ii, however, the
percentage of the counties in West
Tennessee not yet heard from is as
great as those already heard from. and
| think it will be. the majority in West
Tennessee will not fall short of 20 600,
and may run up to q 600 or %, OG0. L
think it a safe estimate to say that we
will carry the state by from $4,000 to
100000 and am strongly inclined to the
opinion that the majority will be 1000
or more, not less than that sure.

CONNECTS AT
PRIMM'S.
Three Escaped Prisoners In Striped
Garb Appear.
Ask For Food And Clothing-The
People There Are Greatly
Alarmed.

The people at Primm Springs and
all the residents of that neighborhood
are badly frightened. Doors and win
dows are barred at night, ana the
faithful Watchdog keeps guard. Sleep,
where sleep comes at all, is filled with
visions of frightful men in striped
garb. demanding the Sunday suit and
best hat of the head of the family, and
provisions enough to run commissary.
These fears are not unfounded. as
three at least of the escaped convicts
from the state prison are in the neigh
borhood the entire gang may be there.
Two men in convict clothing APP
peared Friday at the home of Bob
Moore, ON Dog creek, less than half a
mile from Primms, and demanded
food ana clothing. The best in the
house was none too good for them
Another convict was discovered on the
ridge above the springs, looking the
landscape o er, with view doubtless
of midnight visit. He slipped ST.
lently away into the woods when de-
tected.
The state officials were notified that
their early arrival at Primm was
greatly desired.

and plantation store in the name OF
M. NJ. McLemore, signing himself as
agent
About four years ago he and his
family removed to Memphis, and re-
sided for something over year ON st.
Paul street.
Some weeks ago, however. he went
to New Orleans and remained there
for several weeks. His wife was not
satisfied with his conduct while there,
and began proceedings for divorce in
the Bolivar County Chancery Court
through her attorney, Calvin Perkins,
of this city. AS is the universal prac-
tlce among cotton factors. the Delta
Cotton Company, of this city, had ad.
vanced the McLemore plantation quite
largely this year, which was to be
repaid when cotton was picked next
fall and they had been secured by a
mortgage. When the suit for divorce
was brought, TO protect themselves the
Delta Cotton Company decided to fore
close, and sent their agent. Mr.. Faller,
with Attorney Perkins and A. W.
Benoit to take charge of the property.
1t is said that the meeting with
McLemore was quite . stormy, and
that Mr.. Perkins found it necessary
to use some very emphatic language
before a modus vivendi was estab-
lished.
At this conference, which took place
last Thursday, it is understood that
McLemore entered no objection to the
disposal of the land and considerable
part of the personality, as that was
in the name of Mrs. McLemore any
way. He did MAKE strong
claim for this years crop, and for the
seed for next year. 1t was finally
agreed to employ McLemore as assist
ant manager to Faller at nominal
salary until after the season.

Thousands of women suffer from sys-
temic catarrh. This is sure to produce 7
such symptoms as cold feet and hands, ]
sick headache, palpitation OF the heart
and heavy feelings in the stomach.
Then begins series of experiments. !
They take medicine for sick headache.
| They take medicine for nervous prostra-
ton, for palpitation Of the heart, for
dyspepsia. None of these medicines DO
any good because they do not reach the
cause of the complaint.
Peruna at once mitigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys-
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys-
| tenn, deranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure can
be expected until the systemic catarrh
is removed.
This is exactly what Peruna will do.

threats to his friends concerning what
he would do to Faller. but apparently
acquiesced in his subordinate position
and the two men proceeded to live in
the same house.
Two days later, which was the af-
ternoon of the tragedy, McLemore
claimed to friend that he was going
to fight duel with Faller, and re-
quested him to appear as second.
This was tine last intimation of vio-
lence until the enactment of the trag-
edy.
As to what conversation, if any,
took place prior to the killing, is only
a matter of conjecture. although from
the surrounding circumstances it is
deauced that McLemore was sitting
up waiting for Faller to come into the
house, and that when the latter ap-
peared he opened fire. 1t is also be-
lleved that as he fell Faller drew his
revolver and attempted to use it, but
fell dead with the effort. and that the
force of his fall discharged the weapon.
McLemore was a well known figure
in Memphis. and when not in his cups
was not considered a dangerous man.
He was noted for his fondness for
diamonds and generally wore two cost
ly gems.
Faller was regarded as a good bust
ness man, and stood well in all re-
spects. He was twenty-seven years OF
age and not married.

First Time Enos Randall Was Out of
Debt for Forty Years

Enos Randall, an aged Hamilton
County farmer, went to Noblesville,
Ind, and paid off two notes which
were held against him by the First
National Bank, says a special to the
New York Sun.
He said that he had not been out OF
debt since he bought the farm on
which he reared his family. and on
which he had lived for nearly forty
years. While the interest was being
calculated he appeared very much excl
ted walking to and for in the bank in
very restless manner.
When the calculation was complete,
and he had paid the money and re-
ceived the notes duly Cancelled by the
bank, Randall dropped upon his knees
in front OF the tellers window and
poured out his soul in prayer OF
thanksgiving to the Lord for deliver
ance from debt.
His voice was plainly audible upon
the street and large crowd was at
tracted by the incident.

was opened here on June IA, prints a
letter from Thomas A. Edison in reply
to queries as to his opinions concern

ton. Mr.. Edison's letter reads as foi-
lows
II believe that within thirty years
all railways will discard steam loco,
motives and adopt electric motors ana
that the electric automobiles will dis.
place the horses almost entirely. In
the present state of science there are no
known facts by which one could pre-.
dict any commercial future for aerial
navigation.
