STRUCK THE FAIR GROUNDS.
VaIdOsta Visited by a Hard Rain
and Gale.


and a Gale.
Valdosta, Ga, April 14.-The hard
est rain that has fallen here in years
was that of late yesterday afternoon
and last night. The rain reached the
volume of g. cloudburst and the streets
were flooded. The canal in the north
ern part of the city overlooked and
sent a raging flood through the yards
in that section to a. depth of from ten
inches to three feet.
There was something of a cyclone at
the same time IN the northern edge of
the city, and at the Fair Grounds
much damage was done. The agricul-
tural building, which was erected last
year FOR the state fair, was blown
down, and several of the fakir stands,
which were used by vendors of various
sorts, were blown about like band
boxes.
An electric car, which was standing
on the track near the park, was blown
up the grade toward the city, showing
that the force of the wind was very
strong.
rhe storm appears to have been To-
cal and no damage is report except
at that place.

GERMANS TURN ON
THE TOBACCO TRUST.
Berlin Chamber of Commerce
Doesn't Like It's Methods.

neEIAH OnAmDer OF commerce
Doesn't Like Its Methods.
Berlin, April 1.-THE manner in
which the American Tobacco Com
pany cornered the market for cigar
cite tobacco is reported upon by the
Berlin Chamber of Commerce to the
Prussian Commerce Minister, Herr
Moeller, as follows:
THE American Tobacco Trust in
skillful, we'll planned manner, secured
the output of cigarette tobacco in or
der to meet its increased demand for
raw tobacco by buying not only in
the markets of producing countries,
but in the chief staple markets. The
warehouses are at present empty, and
prices for the cheaper qualities have
risen rs to 30 per cent. 1t cannot,
however, be asserted that the Ameri
can purchases were made for purposes
of speculation or for controlling the
market of the world. They appear on
the other hand merely to have been
to cover the trusts enormous demand.
so far as the German product is
concerned the cheaper qualities were
bought, but of the American crop the
dearer kinds were purchased. While
it is hardly planned to make the Ger
man raw tobacco market dependent
upon American interests, still the do
nestle industry feels keenly the de-
ficiency in raw material and the en-
hancement of prices.
The market for cigar tobacco has
felt the influence of the trust to a
lesser degree. OF course the trust
completely controls the raw tobacco
supply for Havana cigars. The trust
began operations in the German CT
garette market with the purchase of
the factory of George A. Jasmatzi of
Dresden at the beginning of 1901. Since
then it has succeeded in increasing its
business fully so per cent. In order
to create a large market for it's pro-
duct the trust operates with lib
usual in this method of doing business,
apart from the fact that rebates are
given even for small quantities. On
the other hand it appears not to be
free from criticism that the trust de-
livers 1920 cigarettes whenever a thou
sand are ordered. Furthermore, it
has developed a system of bounties
which is strongly disapproved in Ger
man business circles.
I'VE believe the trust intends to
try to secure control of the entire Ger
man cigarette market, but there is
nothing to indicate that it will soon
succeed. The German cigarette in
dustry is strong enough in capital and
mechanical equipment to take up the
fight against the trusts"

SEQUEL TO SUICIDE
GIRL TRIES TO FOLLOW DAMPIER
TO THE GRAVE.
PUT A GUN TO HER BREAST
AND SENT A LOAD OF SHOT TEAR
ING THROUGH HER BODY.

On Learning of How Ivey Dampter
Killed Himself on Being Arrest
ed, Miss Georgia Rogers Deter
mined to End Her own Life.
Dreadful Wound Made by the
Gun-Declnres That If She Re-
covers 1t Will Be but to Kill Her
self.
Valdosta. Ga, April IA dreadful
sequel to the suicide of young Ivey
Dampier in Brooks county yesterday
occurred this morning, when Miss
Georgia Rogers, the 1S-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. Barlow Rogers, shot her
self with a gun, the load of shot
entering her body near the heart and
producing a wound which it was
thought would produce death.
1t is said that the warrant which
the officers went to serve on Ivey
Dampier when he committed suicide,
charged him with seduction. AS soon
as Miss Rogers heard of his tragic
death she decided upon a similar
course, and this morning she made the
attempt upon her life.
The news of the attempted tragedy
was brought here from that section
Though the young woman was living
persons who came here met her
brother on the way after a physician
and the report which he gave of the
affair indicated that there was little
hope for the young woman's recovery.
The entire load of shot passed
through her right breast, ranging to-
wards the left. The young woman
has been conscious, but says that if
she RECEIVERS she will kill herself. The
letter which Dampier wrote before his
death lays the blame upon her for his
own death.

prolil Of tie Dairy Cow.

Weekly letter from the State Univer-
sity College OF Agriculture.
Very few farmers realize the income
that can ne had from a dairy COW. The
farmer 10 keeps a COW a year TO ralse
a fifteen OF twenty dollar calf usually
tbiuks be has done as well as anyone,
bal his profits do not compare with
those Of the dairy a Except with
the high priced registered cattle, as a
rule, the milk, not the calf, is the most
valuable product of the COW. The
milk produced by the average Missouri
COW will sell for about thirty dollars at
the creamery or when made into first
class butter. A good 70 of the dairy
breeds will make at least fifty dollars
cash income every year, | have a list
of about fifty Missouri farmers who re-
port a cash income of fifty TO n hun
bred dollars per COW every year, and
these figures do not include the income
from the sale Of calves and pigs fed on
the skin milk. But says one milking
Is a tremendous task. As a matter Of
fact 1t takes only sixty hours time,
worth about six dollars to milk a COW
ten months.
Now a few facts and figures from our
experience on the state farm. Last
year the cash income from the herd
was $3.50 per COW for butter sold and
$3.50 percow for milk, skin milk, and
ealves-maklng a total income from
each COW Of $95. This year the aver
age income per COW from the same
sources will be over 500 for the entire
herd of twenty-eight. These results do
not come from feeding expensive feeds
or excessive feeding. They are not due
to fine barns or unusual treatment of
any kind. But they are the result Of
dong the right thing at the right time
in the proper way. We will try to
teach these methods in our short win
course of which we are now mailing
announcements. G. H. ECKLEs,
Professor of Dairy H~usbandry.

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. Il has been found BY
experience that catarrhal diseases OF the
pelvic organs are the cause Of most cases
of female disease.
DIR, Hartman was among the first o
Americas great physicians to make Thu
discovery. For forty years he has beer
treating diseases peculiar to women, an(
long ago he reached the conclusion tina
a woman entirely free from catarrha
affection of these organs would not b
subject to female disease. He therefor
began using Peruna for these cases an'
found it so admirably adapted to thei
permanent cure that Peruna has nov
become the most famous remedy TO
female diseases ever known. Ever.
where the women are using it and prais
ing it. Peruna is not a palliative sim
ply; it cures by removing the aus o
female disease.
DIR. Hartman has probably cured NOR
women of female ailments than an,
other living physician. He makes thes
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Peruna.

Attempted Robbery.

An attempt was made Friday night,
Sept. %, to rob the Missouri Pacific
depot at Higglnsville. The robbers
gained entrance and tried to blow
open the safe. They succeeded in
getting the large outer door off and
had started upon the inner door when
they were either frightened away by
some one or lost their nerve. Ia
their hurry to get away they left
their tools scattered all over the floor
There is no clue to their identity
aud just how much money was in the
safe at that time is not known.
