Headaches as a rule, result from dis

Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily

THE GINSENG CRAZE.
Sells for $3.50 an Ounce. Only Is
Acres Planted in United States.

From the New York Press.
twenty-five acres are said to COM
prise the commercial ginseng growing
area of the United States, much of it
being in two counties of New York.
George Vanderbilt has planted fine
garden of the root at Baltimore. Two
farmers in Ohio raised on one third OF
an acre crop that brought $4,000.
A farmer of this state who had been
raising cabbage at 81 ton drove into
town with small buggy load of GIN
seng for which he got $1,000. There
are AGO, 100000 Chinese, and all who
can afford it use ginseng. The mys-
terry of the root is its wide variation
in price. While some sells readily at
81 pound there are species that bring
800 an ounce. Consul Whitman says
he has seen Mandarin ginseng that
was worth 135 times its own weight in
silver. The regular price is from $50
to $3.50 an ounce. The craze has ad
vanced so far in this country that a
monthly magazine called the Ginseng
Garden has beer started in advocacy
of the culture.

DAWN OF THE FARMERS DAY
Capital Reaching Out to Buy
Farm Lands.
From the washington Times

From the Washington Times.
The price of agricultural products
will never again fall to low level.
Capitalists, aware of the situation, are
now reaching out to buy farm lands
They know there is no safer or better
investment. Land cannot burn down.
There is no element of risk in holding
it. That investment has taken money
by the millions away from New York
1t will not return in the same volume
as heretofore. The era Of of whilom
cheap grain will never return. The
eastern fellows, for many years favor
ed by class legislation, no longer nave
the advantage.
In time an intense feeling between
the urban and the rural population
NAV develop. The ruralist will be held
responsible for prices that will be liked
by natural causes, and not by comolna'
tions, as will probably be charged.

NO BOOZE FOR BARTENDERs
New York Saloon Keeper Forming
Total Abstinence Societies.

A New York barkeeper, now the
proprietor of place of his own, is &C.
ing to deliver lecture one evening
this week on the subject, "The Earn
ing Capacity of one Cigar" The bar
keeper in question is teetotaler, He
dispenses strong drink to others, but
does not indulge in it himself. Ere
quently his customers ask him to have
a drink at their expense. He invari-
ably replies, Thank you, I'll have a
cigar" Suiting the action to the word
he takes cigar from a box and puts
it into his pocket. Then, when the
customer has paid for his drink and
the cigar the barkeeper returns the
cgiar to the box, to do duty over again
For five years the barkeeper has kept
a record OF the number of times he has
taken "a cigar" the same One). He
finds that the invitations have averag.

and that his cash receipts from the
one cigar were Sl.096 80. The occas
sion tor the delivery of the lecture Will

A PORTO RlCAN VIEW

A NEWSPAPER PRINTS AN AMUSING
DESCRIPTION OF the PRESIDENT.
It Says He Killed Senator for Speaking
Against Him. Hunting Is His Business
With Literature a Side Line.

Diablo, published in Porto Rico.
prints the following concerning Presi-
dent Roosevelt. 1t evidently has an
exalted opinion of the chief executive S
strenuosity:
"Many wild and ferocious reports
reach this island about the fondness of
President Roosevelt for hunting, his
streuousness, his fondness for the AT
rican negroes and his general wildness
of nature. Born and reared as be was
on the far western prairies of that new
and wild country he is naturally very
fond of bunting, and during the early
days of his career he killed many pan
Tiers, bears, mountain lions and other
wild beasts. Hunting was then his
business, with literature as side line;
now, however, he hunts for the fun OF
it. He was never known to take the
game unawares. He invariably blows
his horn and ssembles his pack with
much eclat and noise before marching
forth to dare the beasts of the forest
to mortal combat. They know he is
coming DAYS beforehand. 1t is related
that once upon time he visited the
bear preserves of Mississippi and slew
many bears. One very large and tero-
cious bear was caught in trap by
some smaller hunters and tied 10
tree for the president to kill. When
President Roosevelt arrived on the
scene he refused to stab or shoot the
bear, but ordered it dispatched with a
club.
"This incident gives the lie to the
report that the president is blood
thirsty In some portions of the states
they have an animal or beast which
they call trust, which seems to have
so far escaped che deadly aim of the
president. But our latest advices
December 10, 1902 lead us to the
opinion that a number OF them will be
killed before the rainy season sets In
to make the hunting grounds impossl-
BILE. Public sentiment seems to be on
the side of the president in his deter
mination to rid the country OF this
beast"
The Diahlo comments at consldera-
BILE length on the race question, de-
claring that "President Roosevelt Is
the first president ever elected over
the states that invited colored states
men to dine with him at the white
house, which is the presidential resi-
dence."
The Diablo closes it's article bV de-
c!aring that President Roosevelt slew
southern senator by the name OF
Carmack for speaking against him In
! public.

$500 FROM TWO ACRES.
Syrup Puts a Big Wad in
Farmers Wallet.

Hon. Russell Crimson of Decatur
county is taking a great interest in the
big cane growers convention to be held
iu Macon in May, and is doing etfec-
tive work toward making it a success.
In letter to the editor of The News
he says:
my county is making rapid strides
along the line of syrup growing, and
the farmers find it more profitable
than cotton growing. For instance,
Mr. P. H. Herring, one of our growers,
raised two and One-half acres of sugar
cane last year and from that he made
Sc barrels of syrup, selling the same at
80 cents per gallon. From the syrup
he received something more than
seven hundred dollars. This beats ten
cent cotton by long way"
