Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. /" Eat plenty Of.
pork, Z was the advice TO the
consumptive So and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat IS the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionisthemod
ern method Of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some

phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special

A Forty-Acre Crop to Be Undertaken
an Expe riment.

Beaufort, S. c.. Jan. PA second
meeting of prominent farmers and
business men was held in the Gazette
building to discuss the project of rails
ing tobacco as an experiment. 1t has
been ascertained that the best yields
of cotton in this section amount to
about $40 per acre, while tobacco, If 1t
could be successfully grown, would
yield from $50 to s12O per acre. That is
the experience in the prosperous to-
baccO growing counties. The cost of
raising the two crops is considered
aDout equal. 1t is thus shown that, if
the experiments are successful, every
farmer in this county will have
chance to realize a greater profit on
tobacco. 1t is proposed to employ
supervisor and furnish a building to
cure forty-acre crop, the compare
lively small cost of which will be paid
by those interested in the experiments.
1t is estimated that ten acres success
fully grown and cured will defray all
expenses incurred by the forty-acre
experiment.

Baxter q Co.'S Stock Letter

New York, Jan. 24-Market showed
extreme irregularity and it's tone could
be described as unsettled except that
the extreme dullness prevented any
significance from being attached to the
dealings. There was no pressure to
sell at the opening and prices showed
moderate improvement in sympathy
with the recovery in London. Both
centeEs were favorably influenced by
an absence of fresh news from South
America, while the claim of the Ger
mans that the Venezuelans were the
aggressors put a new face on the mat

slight rally followed the bank state

ALBRITTONS PROLIFIC.
Like the Sands of the Shore Their
Race Has Run.

Barlow, Fla. Jan. 24.-Some time
ago the statement was made IN some
of the papers that the Albritton family
residing in this and the county ad-
joining on the south had the remarka-
BILE record of 1900 souls as the result
of marriage in four generations.
This family is of Dutch descent, and
the first one of whom there is any def
mite history is Thomas H. AlbrittOn,
ST., who was for many years a resi-
dent of Pierce county. Georgia, and
whose death occurred in that county
short while before the Civil War. At
the time of his death he was 104 years
OF age. He was married three times
and twenty-siX children were born TO
his wives. Eighteen of his children
were living at the time of the old mans
death. These children all married and
reared very large families.
All the eighteen children referred to
are dead except three, the eldest of
whom is Thomas H. Albritton, Jr.,
who will be So in April of the present
year. His home is at Chicora, in Polk
county, where he carries on a large
farming and stock business, doing his
work himself. The descendants of this
man number ia: his brother James,
$50; his brother Arthur, 139, making
a grand total for the three brothers of
563. The other fourteen members of
this family reared very large families,
and it is safe TO conclude, according to
a statement made by a member of the
Albritton family, that their descend
ants VIII easily average as many as
the three mentioned above. Therefore.
it is conceded that the statement re-
garding the 5000 descendants was in
the main correct. In fact the represen-
tative of this truly remarkable family
quoted above mentions two brothers of
I. H. Albritton. Sr., both of whom
reared large families. but as the exact
figures cannot be had, they are thrown
in for good measure.
This family has been very prolific, as
may be inferred from the statement,
that in one of the homes of the family
triplets were born three times in sue
cession. With the exception of three
preachers and two lawyers, there have
never been any professional men from
this family. All the others have been
farmers and stock raisers.

NEW TURPENTINE PROCESS.
Company Organized mt Moultrie to
Exploit 1t.

Moultrie, Ca, Jan. PA company
has been organized here with a capt.
tai of $4,000 to do naval stores man.
ufacturing business. The promoters
are in possession of a new process of
extracting turpentine oil, tar, etc, from
pine straw and lightwood. They will
manufacture soap, paint, oil, creo-
sote, varnish, etc, turning out near
ly a dozen products. A charter has
been applied for and the factory is al
really under course of construction.
The City Council here has put a
license of $500 on the sale by retail of
liquor. Since the town went dry the
cider business has prospered. and there
are suspicious that some of it is mixed
with alcohol.
The general offices of the Union Pin
opolis Saw Mills and of the Triton,
Thomasville and Gulf Railroad will tie
moved from Moultrie to Atlanta. Mr.
Martin F. Amorous, the new general
manager, is a resident of Atlanta, and
he is here now making arrangements
to move the offices to Atlanta about
Feb. /.
John Hooker, Moultrie young man.
about q years old, has entered suit for
ddIlldSSS against u. bSilSllSOl, a I1S-
brew merchant. Young Hooker alleges
that his character has been damaged
by ]. Benenson and his wife to the
amount of $4,000. Hooker clerked for
Benenson last year, and his wife
charged him with selling a pair of
socks and putting . money in his
pocket. The matte las referred to j.
Jenenson and Hooker lost his job. The
suit was drawn by Pearsall & Shipp in
the City Court, and will be tried at the
February term.
A negro named Henry Lovett was
killed in the woods near Coleman's
MILL three miles from Moultrie, yes
terday. The negro was engaged in
hauling logs out of the woods. He
went off early in the day, and had not
returned home at night. Search was
instituted for him, and his body was
found badly mangled as if life had been
crushed out with a heavy log. 1t is
supposed that the team he was driving
pulled a log over his body, he being
caught between the log carried and an
other log.

blown off. The fact that he had only
one hand was largely responsible for
