CURES CATARRH.
"HyOmei the Most Wonderful Cure
for Catarrh Ever Discovered.
Says Mayor Yard.

Do not try to cure catamh by taxi
ing drugs into the stomach; it cannot
be cured in that manner. The only
way in which this too common disease
can be cured is through a direct appli-
cation that will kill the bacilli of ca
tarrh and prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
of treatment that accomplishes this.
1t is the simplest, most pleasant, and
the only absolute cure for catarrh
that has ever been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimo-
malls have been received from the most
prominent men and women in the
country who have been cured by this
remarkable remedy Ministers, bank
ers, lawyers, even eminent physicians
have sent strong testimonials as to the
remarkable powers of HyCmei to cure
catarrh.
Former Mayor Emory NJ. Yard,
of Trenton, N. j., writes: You have
my permission to say that / believe
'Hyomei 10 be one of the most won
derful cures for catarrh and throat
trouble that has ever been discovered.
In my case the effect has been mar
velous. L enclose you money order for
two outfits for friends of mine to
whom / have recommended 'Hyomei'
and who l am anxious shall have the
benefit of this remarkable panacea."
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.00, consisting of an inhaler.
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
over a month. This viii effect a cure
in ordinary cases, but for chronic and
deep-seated cases of catarrh longer
use is necessary, and then extra bot
ties OF Hyomei "a months treatmenD
can be obtained for SOC. II Is not alone
the best dt might be called the only
method Of curing catarrh, but IL Is
also the most economical.

conclusion that it is beeswax. Here is
his statement:N THE substance is
sharply distinguished from ozokerite
and other paraffins by it's easy decom-
position by warm strong sulphuric
acid and by being saponif1ed by boil
ing with alcoholic potash, giving soaps
which dissolve in hot water. and from
which acides throw down insoluble fat
ty acids. In view of this behavior, the
material is evidently wax, and not
ozokerite." Who shall decide. when doc
tors SO widely disagree?
But there is another enigma about
1t. There are two local fields in the
Nehalern country. but Prof. Diller as
sures US that nothing whatever occurs
in connection with the coal in either
field that resembles this wax. SO IL

coal measures of that locality: and
moreover, the deposit is so placed n 8

work, there is vertigo, palpitation of

When any of these warning symp-
toms are experienced, the use of
Paine's Celery Compound will do
wonders for anxious and suffering
women. Paine's Celery Compound
used regularly for a few weeks will
build up nerve force and physical
strength, tone digestion, keep the
kidneys and liver in working condi-
ton, will Danish gloomy fears and give
sweet sleep. 1t has saved thousands
of women from terrible sufferings and
death. Miss Annie Pasold, of De Witt,
Iowa, tells how Paine's Celery Com
pound made her mother well and
strong; she says:
My mother was taken very sick
by approaching change of life and was
confined to her bed for seven weeks.
We employed the best doctor, but his
efforts were of little avail. She could
not keep anything on her stomach,
could not sleep and she wasted to a
shadow. We procured a bottle of
Paine's Celery Compound for her. Its
use gave grand and wondrous results
She soon slept well at night, got
stronger and her appetite returned
She is now well and strong and does
her work with pleasure. She would
not be without Paine's Celery Com
pound for any consideration"

C0LQUITT'S FIRST RAILROAD.
The Man to Whom Credit For 1t Is
Due.


Moultrie, March 4-Editor Morning
News: read with much interest the
article in last Sundays Atlanta Con-
stitution on the growth of Colquitt
county, the cause of the growth and
the men who have been instrumental
in its development, and was much sur
prised to find no mention of the Nate
d. c. Bacon. Those who know the
facts cannot forget that the develop
ment of the county-and a wonderful
development it has been--is due large
ly to the railroads that have been
built within its limits, and that Mr.
D. C. Bacon was the pioneer in rail-
road building in the county. He it
was that projected and built the road
from Moultrie to Triton. He discerned
the undeveloped wealth of Colquitt
county and he had the courage, the
energy and the credit with which to
undertake it's development. 1t may be
said with truth that he gave his life
to the work of opening up that couh-
ty. He remained during the hot sum-
mer months on the line of the road
looking after its financial affairs in
stead of following his usual custom OF
spending these months in the noun
tains. AS the result he contracted ty-
phoid fever, the disease which caused
his death. The writer of the article IN
the Constitution should. at least. have
remembered the man who did so mucn
for the development of Colquitt, VINO.
in fact was the pioneer in its develop
ment. Mr. Bacon was a very modest
man and never made an effort 10 have
public attention drawn 10 anything he
did, however much the public might
have benefited BY IL. But that Is no
reason why there should not be some
acknowledgement Of what he did for

oREGoN's "BEEswAx" DEPOSITS.
Scientists Still mt Variance in Their
Views of What the Substance Is.

From the Portland Oregonian.
Perhaps no solution of the question
whether the substance which the Gu
rious have been collecting during many
years at 4 locality on the coast of
Oregon near the mouth of the Nehalem
river is beeswax, or the material
known as ozokerite, will ever be pos
sibIe. One would think it should be
possible; yet high authorities still diff
fer about 1t. DIR. A. c. Kinney of As
toria, Ore, recurring to the subject,
says he is sure it is ozokerite, since he
has had several analyses made, all
leading to this result. But Prof. Diller
of the United States Geological Sur
vey, who made examination of the To-
cality and the wax some years ago,
was by no means sure what it was;
yet his conclusion was that, whether
it was beeswax or ozokerite, it was
not a product of the locality but had
been transported from some other
place. Careful examination of the
marks upon such pieces as he could
find or was permitted to examine fail
ed to convince him that any reliance
could be placed on the assumption that
they were trademarks. This conclu-
sion would be a strong point against
the beeswaX theory.
Ozokerite is a mixture of paraffine
existing in bituminous sandstones. 1t
is therefore a mineral product. Moth
ing, at first thought, would appear
easier than 70 distinguish beeswax
from mineral wax; yet il is not always
easy, and Prof. Diller says that If well
selected ozokerite be placed before
bees they will use it for their honey
combs. This, however, might prove
nothing, for the bees. in the absence
of other material, might use this nat
ural paraftin, or anything they could
get that would answer their purpose.
What is mainly curious or strange
about this deposit is the apparent inn
possibility of reaching sure conclu-
sion whether the material is beeswax
or ozokerite. The consistency and melt
ing point OF the two substances are
about the some. The odor. which is
very weak, II not wholly absent, gives
no sure indication. While Dr. Kinney

Postmaster Herring of Evergreen
Has Told All He Knows About S.
A. l.. Wreck.
Information was received in Savan-
nah yesterday that Postmaster A. Her.
ring of Evergreen, Fla, has made an
affidavit which embodies with a little
more detail the story printed in yester-
days Morning News, that the switch
at Evergreen was opened by Buddie
Ryals, an s-year-old white boy living
but a short distance from the switch,
and that the boy told Herring of what
he had done.
In his affidavit Herring claims that he
told the boy to go and shut the switch,
and supposed he had done so. Herring
says further that he told this part OF
his story to a lady passenger who was
in the wreck, and she censured him so
severely about the part he had played
in the matter that he told no one else,
lying to the officers of the road when
asked about the matter. for fear that
they might suspect him of having had
something to do with opening the
switch.
1t will be remembered that the
agents of the Seaboard Air Line first
suspected that the switch had been
tempered with for the reason that on
former occasions passenger trains had
been rocked at this station. Herring in
his affidavit admits that his colored
cook, w. H. Lawrence. alias Jackson
willie, threw missiles at the trains, and
that he failed to report the matter to
the road because he feared the negro
would be arrested. and he. therefore,
would lose his services as cook.

that he did it in play. He has not been

AFTER HALF A CENTURY.
business of Union Road Finally
Wound Up.

Wound Up.
1t is rarely. if ever before, the case
that after a concern has ceased opera
lions for more than a half century,
the stock is divided and the manager
paid for his fifty years of service. but
this was true in the case of the Union
Road and Agricultural Society, which
years ago was an enterprising corpor-
alton in Chatham and surrounding
counties, but which for the past fifty
years has practically not existed. But
the stock existed, and there was the
rub.
BY a decree in the Superior Court
this stock, aggregating s13, 1888. has
been al portioned among the respective
surviving shareholders, some of whom
had forgotten that they owned any
such stock. The decree of the court is
like getting money from home. There
may be others who have not yet made
their rights known, and for this reason
the court allows one month in which to
file claims. If within that time these
rights are not asserted they are for
ever barred.
The old Union road was started in
1909. In 1918 it combined with the Agri-
cultural Society, which was an organ
ization composed of the rice planters,
FARMERS, etc, or the community, winch
exercised about the same rights as the
state fair associations of to-day. The
road was built across the river, con-
meeting with Screvens ferry, and run
ming about six miles into Beaufort
county, South Carolina. Mai. John
Screven was its first manager, his son,
James D., the second, and Capt. T. S.
Screven, the third and present man.
ager. For his services for the past
forty, and more, years, Mr.. Screven is
awarded $3.50 by the decree of the
court.
W. w. Gordon, Jr., is also awarded
$3.50 as attorneys fees. To each of the
parties whose claims were upheld by
the jury the proportion which his claim
bears to $13, 1888 is to be paid from
the assets remaining after the pay
ments named above. The decree finally
winds up the business of the two So
cieties. The following claims are al
lowed by the verdict and decree:
Estate of q. P. Screven, 81, 400; T. F.
Screven, $2,433; estate of John Screven,
$780, T. F. Screven, assignee, s525;
