LIGHTNING EXECUTES
PERFECT PHOTOGRAPH

Blackshear, Ga, August 6.-(SpeciaL)-
During a thunder storm about half-past
/ o o'clock this afternoon the home Of John
d higgins, about one mile west Of town.
was struck by lightning and his little r.
year-old son, Harry, instantly killed. The
house is three-room frame structure.
The center room is the family living
room. while Immediately in front of this
is a bed room with two beds. Between
these two rooms is a large brick CHM
ney.
In the room were Mr.. and Mrs Rig
gins and four small children, Miss Ora
Barnes, a sister Of Mrs, higgins, and two
small children of c. Leon Johnson. They
had lust finished eating and were dis
cussing the approaching storm when the
discharge which brought such terrible ha-
voc occurred. The bolt struck the chin
new. tearing it down. hurting bricks all
over the room. One hit Mr.. higgins on
top Of the head. cutting deep cash and
stunning him for about second. Mrs.
higgins was stunned. but not seriously
injured
It is here the mysterious side of the
affair comes in. Little Harry who was
playing fully 60 feet distant under a pecan
Tree was instantly killed, while Ray Rig
gins. still further away. was severely
shocked. but otherwise uninjured On the
body Of Harry is perfectly portrayed
pecan tree. The picture is as perfect as
a photograph and there is absolutely no
other mark on the body.

Tightly Locked From
Nervous Spasms.
hysiCians Could
Not Prevent Fits.
DR.. Mile s Nervine Cured
My Wife.

Dr. Miles Nervine has been successfully
tried in thousands OF cases of nervous disor
ders, but never.has it made a better record than
when used in the treatment of fits or spasms.
Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in
nearly every instance the writer has stated
that the fits ceased after the first dose OF Ncr-
vine was given. The statement is repeated
in the following:
"Seyen years ago my wife commenced
having spasms or fits and | called in my
home physician and he said she was para
lived. He rubbed her with salt water and
gave her caloInel and she eventually got
some better but in a short time she had
another attack. She was confined to her
bed for three months and the doctor could
not help her. She had fits frequently, some
times very severe Her hands would cramp
so we could not open them and she finally
got so her jaws would become locked.
Finally | saw the doctor was doing her no
good and ordered a bottle of DR.. Miles Re-
storative Nervine. She received so much
benefit from the first bottle that got some
more. She has taken Il number of bottles
but has never had fit since taking the first
dose. She also thinks very highly OF DIR.

without them If there is any way of max
ing this testimonial stronger do SO because

rSrom The Textile Record, Boston.)
~ HE recent advance In the price of
cotton has. as a matter Of course.
interested the whole world. 1t
means an increase in the cost Of the
clothing for every one OF the inhabitants
OF the earth from the American. who Is
the largest consumer of cotton cloth, to
the native OF Senega mbia whose wants III
the clothing line arc satisfied by scanty
io!n cloth. 1t would be difficult to name
commodity in wider use than cotton.
With the exception Of the dwellers In the
Arctic regions every one uses cotton
cloth. 1t Is necessity for which there
Is no substitute. No other textile ma
terial will answer the purpose as WELL
and IL ia for this reason that perma-
nent increase in its cost must be borne
in greater or less degree by nearly every
member Of the human family.
The worlds annual cotton crop is ap-
proximately 14.5O0O00 bales of 500 pounds
each, a total of 7,25O.000,000 pounds This
vast quantity of cotton is consumed each
year. there being practically no surplus
carried from one year to the next In TACT
during the past three or four years con-
sumption has pressed close upon the
heels of production and the cotton mills
of England and the continent of Europe
have been forced into idleness to
greater or less extent owing to the short
age of raw material.
Taking. then, the annual production of
1850, 900 900 pounds of cotton as measure
of consumption by the 1,500.0o0.0Oo people
of the earth, we find an average conSump-
ton of cotton per capita of about S-lo
pounds. The use of cotton is, however ny
no means uniformly distributed through
out the world AS might be expected. the
American, in possession of the richest
portion of the globe, finds himself able to
use the most of the cotton as he uses the
most of the other god things of life.
Estimating that our excess of cotton
imports over exports is equal approx
mate.y to 1O0,000.000 pounds of raw cot
ton we find that the $4,000, 600 inhabitants
of the United States consume annually
, 1t;,, 000. 900 pounds of cotton, or q pounds
per capita This leaves 50S7 900 pounds
10 supply the wants of the 1.420 100000
people inhabiting the rest of the earth,
or ) clio per capita. We thus find that
the American. as cotton consuming
