MONTGOMERY HAS A
 REALLY DRY SUNDAY
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVER AL YEARS NO STRONG DRINKS WERE SERVED IN THE CAPITAL CITY YESTERDAY.

Montgomery. November 15.-(Special)- Montgomery experienced the first really dry" Sunday today for several years. All of the combination restaurant saloons had out the white flag positively refusing to serve strong drinks.
 While Montgomery enjoys the repu- tation of being an extraordinarily law abiding and moral town, the police have never been strict in the enforcement of the Sunday law. The enactment of the new and more stringent law has, how ever, placed the dealers in a more perilous position. They announce that so far as Sunday is concerned they have closed definitely.
 The new law revokes the license of the dealer on the second offense of selling on Sunday.

It Is just common cold, people say, there's no danger in that. Admitting their statement, then there are 1ncommon colds, colds which are dangerous for many a fatal sickness begins with cold If we could tell the common cold from the un- common we could feel quite safe But we can't. The uncommon variety is rarely recognized until it has fastened its hold on the lungs, and there are symptoms of con sumption.
 At the fSst symptoms the careful person will heed the warning by taking a mild laxative; some vegetable pill that will not disturb the system or cause gripping. About the best is oDr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. :, If the cold starts with a cough, and it persists then some local treatment for this condition should be taken. A well known alternative extract, which has been highly recommended by thousands of users is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery This tonic compound is composed of an extract of roots and herbs and has sooth- ing effect upon the mucous membrane, allays the irritation and at the same time works in the proper and reasonable way at the seat of the trouble-the stagnated or poisoned blood.
 It contains no alcohol to shrivel up the blood corpuscles, but makes pure rich red blood.

WORLD ENTERS ON
 A NEW SUGAR ERA
Cane Product Has Increased
 Nearly Four Million Tons
THIS. YEAR 10,425,8O0 TONS
Largest Five Year Increase in His tory of This Industry Reported from 1s9s-99 to 19o3-4-lslands Pro-
 duce 40 Per Cent.

Washington, November 15.-The depart port for November, announces that the indications are that the world has en- tered on a new era in the production of cane sugar. The department quotes esti- mates placing the total sugar produc- ton of the world in the year 1903-04 at 500 tons of 224O pounds each includ- ing 4,s42, 800 tons of cane sugar and 6,Oss, 900 tons of beet sugar, and says as to cane sugar:
 During the past five years the world 8 output of this product has increased from s,OOO,OO0 to upwards of 4OOo, 900 tons, quan- titively the greatest increase ever made in any five-year period in the history of this industry. Moreover. for the first time in a half century, the ratio of in crease in the worlds production of cane sugar has exceeded that of sugar made from beets, tine percentage of increase in the former product for the five years be- ing about double that of the latter. The four years from 1900-01 to 19O3-04 inclu- sive, were each in turn record-breakine years for the production of sugar The previous high record crop (3,530O0O tons) was that of 1S94-95. the crop made just before the outbreak of the revolution in the most important producer. Cuba. The high record crop in the history of the worlds beet sugar production was that of 19O1-02. Since that date there has been a decline in production in Europe amounting in all to about 100000 tons but the present years estimated output still shows a considerable increase over that of five years ago."
 The report says 70 per cent of the cane sugar of the world is now annually pro- duced on tropical and semi-tropica islands. The prospective output for 19O3-04 of the leading single producers Cuba and Java constitutes 45 per cent oi the worlds cane sugar.
