For putting in prime condition
any horse or mule the best of all
remedies is Ashcraft's Condition
Powders. These Powders are won
derfully effective because they Gre
ate appetite, the digestion is made
perfect, worms and parasites de-
stroyed, and the system cleansed
! Of all gross humors. The Pow
ders fatten but never bloat.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
are wrapped in doses. In fact, in
their preparation the same care is
used that a druggist would exer-
else in the filling of physicians S
prescription. High grade and real
merit is the first consideration.
Ashcrafts Powders consist of
small doses, prepared from the
purcst and highly concentrated in
gradients, that have been found
beneficial to horses and mules.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
always high grade-are not to be
classed with the many bulky, good
for-everything powders now on the
market.
Ask for Ashcraft's, the kind put
up in doses, and good for horses
and mules only.
Having tried many kinds OF Condition Pow.

Everybody knew the campaign would
pc fought to finish between Yancey and
billiard Cochran and Abercrombie were
strong men but they were mere figure
heads in the situation at that crisis.
Soon Hilliard announced long list of
appointments, speaking alone for Aber-
cromble Yanceys friends asked for
division OF time with Yancey. Hilliard
refused. All that was expected and plans
had been made to put Yancey after him
with or without his consent. At an ap-
pointment of billiards. now In Bullock
county. Yancey appeared. He told Hill
lard privately he intended TO speak along
with him and asked the pertinent uues-
ton: Shall the debate be friendly?' Hill
lizard replied, Mr.. Yancey, 1 shall be
compelled to expose some of your incon-
close every discussion.
1t was hot time. 1t was the greatest
stump oratory in America. People came
from several adjoining counties to hear

once IN mis- life, very rare thing with
him. He referred to Yancey's expert
ence in a South Carolina jail. Yancey
followed In one of his logical arguments
until closing, he turned to Hilliard and
opened his pent-up rage in such as none
had ever heard from him before. He lift
ed the impaled subject OF mis- wrath up
on spear and held him over the heads
of the crowd. turned him this way and
that way, humbled and perishing, and
then let him drop in contempt. There
was no more joint debate. The next
place of meeting, Eufaula. found excite
ment so intense and feeling so bitter that
wise men of both sides came forward
to demand separate meetings and the
meetings were so held. Many from Geor-
gia had come to hear.
.Abercrombie defeated Cochran, or rath-
er billiard defeated Yancey. In Ave
years Yaneey carried his point; he or
ganized the Democratic and anti-Know-

his views and Hilliard came into that
party.

STARTLING STATEMENT.
Crime, Suicide and Insanity In
creasing.


creasing.
Washington Special to New York Herald.
.'It may be said, with few exceptions
that within the last thirty or forty years
there has been an increase, relative tc
population, in crime, suicide, insani-.
and other forms of abnormality."
This is the startling statement whie1
DR.. Arthur Macdonald, specialist in the
United States Bureau of Education, begins
a report on this subject made today for
the information of Congress. DR.. MAJ
donald makes no effort to exagserate this
increase He declares that some of ii
may doubtless be accounted for in the
more stringent methods Of gathering
data, but 1t is his opinion that these
better methods of obtaining information
will not by far account for the increase
shown.
''It would seem,'' he continues, shat
the increase is due more to the rapid de-
velopment OF the world in general, rather
than to any specific cause. Thus. there
has not been a relative increase In So
cial abnormahties, but in many other
things, such as education, intelligence,
wealth and in comforts OF living for the
poor
Dwelling further on this connection be-
tween increased crime and increased lux
ury, DIR. Macdonald says that statistics
show that in our own country the groups
of States which show the greater educa-
ton and intelligence, as the North At
lantic, North Central and Western, also
exceed in insanity suicide, nervous dis
eases, Juvenile criminals and almshouse
paupers. It Is not to be assumed, how
ever, says DIR. Macdonald that education
and intelligence tend to increase social
evils 1t might be as justly argued that
the consumption of sugar and the number
of divorces granted in a certain section
had a relation to each other. There Is no
doubt that all Of these factors may be
related in some way, but just how has
not yet been definitely deciphered or
enunciated by DR.. Macdonald.
In connection with the increase in crime,
ETC., he sets down the fact that there
has been during the same forty year
period a constant condensation Of popu-
lation. Another factor given as a possible
cause is that while the consumption
of wheat coffee and other grains has in
creased per capita the consumption of
malt liquors and sugar has increased
much more. This might be interpreted
as tendency toward less solid, less sta
pie or more artificial food since the con-
sumption of meat and potatoes has de-
creased.

DEMOCRATS TO SUPPORT ROSE
Split in Wisconsin Democracy Was
Averted by Ex-senator Villas.

Milwaukee (Wis.) dispatch.
A second split In the ranks Of the Wis
cOnsin Democracy was prevented tonight
by the timely action OF the anti-Rose
men in withdrawing their opposition to
the Endorsement of the Milwaukee Mayor
for the complimentary vote for the Uni
ted States SenatOrship when a successor
is chosen to John c. Spooner.
The Democratic legislators of the State
held a caucus to decide on their nomi-
nee. and the opponents OF Mayor Rose
came to the city with a determination to
prevent, il possible the selection of Mr..
Rose. on the ground that by failing to
defeat Governor La Toilette for re-elec-
ton he had forfeited his right to even
this empty honor. The question was
fought bitterly before the caucus opened,
but when the meeting was held the anti
Rose men were prevailed upon to swing
their support from former Senator w. +.
Villas to the Milwaukee man.
1t Is said that this action was taken on
the request of Mr.. Villas himself, on the
ground that a conflict for this honor
would de irreparable damage to the party
In the State. when the differences over
the silver issue had been settled for only
a few short weeks.
