Few factory is going up
I'VE are more than pleased with the
growth that this business has under
gone in the past few years" said the
captain at the St Charles Hotel. The
expansion of tabasco manufacturing has
been beyond our most sanguine expec-
tations. All OF the manufacturing is
done on Avery Island. and all of the
peppers used are grown on the island
VIC raise them on our own plantation
under our own supervision
..Tabasco sauce was first made on the
island in 1865 BY my father. who thought
he could make a sauce from the peppers
which grew there equal 20 Maunsel
White At that time there was no post
office at Avery Island. and the label was
made with New IBERIA on it. which has
been allowed TO remain ever since
There mas been a great deal writ
ten about tabasco sauce ever since 1
can remember. In fact. I think the sub
jact is one that has rather been over
done from the newspaper standpoint,
and the only new thing there is about
tabasco IS the factory. OF course, this
was made necessary by the great in
crease in the business, and it viii not
be possible for US to makS enough TO
supply the demand
Avery Island is perhaps the most de-
lightful spot in the State, high. dry. and
healthful during all seasons OF the year.
As CaDta n McIlhenny states, tabaSco

WORTH KNOWING
At This.season of the Year.

Any cough accompanied by expec-
toratiOn which lasts over three or four
days, requires attention and treat
ment this does not mean a visit to
the hospital nor to your physician
nor wholesale drugging with patent
medicines; but it means that some
simple, harmless effective antispetic
remedy like Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
should be used to ward off any pos
sible termination in Pneumonia, Chron-
ic Catarrh, Bronchitis or Consump-
ton.
All of these formidable diseases start
from a common cold. neglected or al
lowed to run it's course and it is only
the exercise of common every day eau
ton to cure d cold as quickly as pos
sible, not so much for what it is at
the moment, but what it may become
IL neglected.
Perhaps no remedy is so safe, reli-
able and convenient to stop cold or
obstinate cough as Stuart's Catarrah
Tablets.
The extract of blood root contained
in them combined with the red gum
of the Eucalyptus tree seem to put
the mucous membrane of the nose,
mouth and throat in a condition TO
throw off the germs of catarrh, bron-
chitis and consumption, and as they
are taken internally they seem to
equalize the circulation and place the
body in that condition of health which
resists, and throws off the germs of
disease.
A person in perfect health rarely
catches cold, and if he does throws
it off in a day or two, but, where the
cold hangs on, stopping up the nos
trils, irritating the throat or there is
persistent annoying cough il is evil
dent that the system for some reason
is unable to throw off the disease
germs which cause the trouble a lit
tie assistance is necessary, and this
is best given by the use of some harm
less germ destroying antiseptic like
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets which are
also palatable and equally so for chill
dren and adults.
Druggists sell these tablets at SO
cents full sized package, higher In
price than troches and cheap cough
syrups. but Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
contain antisepic properties which
actually cure colds, catarrh and throat
and lung troubles while it is a motor
ious fact that cough drops and cough
syrups are largely composed of opium.
cocaine and similar drugs that have
no curative power.
1t is also true that many popular
liquid medicines and tonics for catarrh
depend upon the alcohol they contain
which give simply temporary stimu-
lation of no real benefit for any
trouble catarrhal or otherwise.

FROM NATIONAL CENSUS
The State school Census VIII De
Made I'D This Year.

muoe u Inlh ear
Atlanta, Jan. 9.-The State Board of
Education met to-day in State School
Commissioner w. B. Merritts Office,
Gov. Terrell presiding. for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for taxi
ing the school census this year.
The law provides that the school
census of all children between and 16
years of age shall be taken once every
five years; but in the year for the
school census following Immediately
the taking of the United States CEN
sus, it is required that the board shall
estimate the school census from the
government census reports, a method
by which considerable expense is saved.
The board decided that it would esti-
mate the school census in each county,
city and school district in the state
from the United States census taking
into consideration the past rate of in
crease, and if any county, city or dis
trict is dissatisfied with the estimate
made, the board will arrange to have
q special census taken for it, the ex-
pense to be paid out of the pro rata
of the school fund going to such coun-
ty, city, or school district.
The board decided to suggest to all
county superintendents that the schools
be kept open for 100 days this year, the
same as last year.
The state school commissioner was
authorized to compile the school laws
Of the state for publication at his earl
lest convenience.

NEW YEAR BEGINS WELL.
What Bradstreefs Says of the Bust
ness Situation.

What Bradstreets Says of the Busf-
ness Situation.
New York, Jan. 9.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
The new year starts in aggressively
and well. Wholesale distributive trade,
it is true, notes something of the hull
usual at this period of the year. but
even here the uniformity is broken by
advices that statesmen already on the
road are receiving good orders for
spring, and that, in compliance with
urgent instructions, shipments of
spring goods are being forwarded lib
orally.
Among the industries activity reigns,
the only deterrent features being the
scarcity of cars or Of fuel, limiting
production of iron and steel or curtail
Ing shipments of lumber and grain.
Prices as a whole show aggressive
strength, present levels being the
highest in over two years. Corn and
cotton, it is true, have weakened, but
the only apparent result is that of en-
couraging and expanding export trade,
a movement long and anxiously await
ed. Cotton goods remain firm, and it is
sellers market for print cloths. The
feeling of confidence in the cotton and
cotton goods trades extends also to
wooden goods.
Cold weather affects the movement
of white pine while the Southern yell
low pine movement is restricted by the
scarcity of cars. A feature is the ac-
tlVity in hard woods, which are in de-
mand at all leading markets. The
scarcity of anthracite coal is cause
OF large expense and some suffering at
the East. Efforts to keep prices down
to reasonable level seem to have fail
ed, and spectators are reported in con-
troll of the situation.
The iron and steel market is classed
as quiet, but symptoms of activity are
numerous. Pittsburg reports pig iron
very scarce, and good sales have been
made at nearly top prices. while heavy
engagements of steel billets, bars and
structural material are also reported.

FIRE AT BLAKELEY.
Cotton Seed House and Railroad
Cars Burned.

SOtton Sced House ana RntIrOnd
Cars Burned.
Blakeley. Jan. Sire broke out
here yesterday morning al 2-so'clock in
a cotton seed house near the Central
of Georgia Railway tracks and con-
sumed the house and seven cars. Most
of the cars were loaded. The heroic
work of the citizens in moving cars
saved about thirty others, some of
which were also loaded.
The fire spread from the cars to the
cotton platform, which is attached to
the warehouse. and sixty-eight bales
of cotton were burned. The ware
house was saved by rolling the cotton
off. There was high wind blowing
and for some time IL seemed as If
there was going to be general con-
Migration. Tramps were supposed to
have started the fire i'm the seed house.
Among the losses were a carload of
burlaps for the Cotton Oil Company
here, car of household goods, a car
of cross-ties, a car of cotton seed and
other general merchandise. At 1920
o'clock in the morning the railroad
authorities succeeded in clearing the
track for its passenger trains to
pass.

Atlanta, Jan. "a number of prom

the Railroad Commission to-day in an
swer to the summons to show cause
why they should not be compelled to
repair the old Atlanta Union Depot.
Chairman c. A. Wickersham of the
Board of Control acted as spokesman,
and stated the repairs had not been
made because of the inability of the
contractor to get the material for the
new roof. The iron has been shipped,
he stated, and will be here next week
He said he thought he could guaran-
tee that all repairs on the old shed
would be made by Feb /.
The commission expressed satisfac-

Mr.. Wickersham took exception to the

saIen of Prints.

Fall River, Mass, Jan. 9.-The print

price continuing at cents.
