 COLUMBIA, s. c. After a long and varied experience in the use of mineral waters from many sources. both foreign and domestic, I am fully persuaded that the Harris Lithia water possesses efficacy in the treatment of aff1ictions of the Kidney and Bladder rnequaled by any other water of which I have made trial.
 This opinion is based upon observation of its effects upon my patients for the lest three years. during which time I have prescribed it freely and almost uni- formly with benefit in the medical mala- dies above mentioned.
 When failure to relieve has occurred. 1 have imputed 1t to insufficient use of the water, for my experience teaches me that from one to two quarts daily should be taken from two to three weeks to secure it's full remedial effect.

SAVANNAH, Ga. I have used the Harris Lithia Springs water for the past year in all renal troubles, with prompt and efficient effect. In gouty and rheumatic troubles I con- sider this water superior to the Buffalo Lithia Spring water. I suffered from an attack of rheumatism for eight months. during which time I drank the Buffalo Lithia Spring water constantly for four months without any relief. In November last I had case of Harris Lithia Water sent to me, and. after drinking 1t for about three or four weeks, the pain and stiffness left my limbs and I have not been troubled since. feel that I can safely recommend the Harris Lithia Wa ter.

A MIRACLE OF, CONSTRUCTION.
The oroya Railroad in Peru Which
 Cost $331. .5o4 Per Mile.

1T. 1T. Lewis in Worlds Work.
 The two Americans who constructed this road, Messrs Melggs and Thorndike, were considered crazy when they proposed 1t.
 It was necessary to carry the roadbed for miles through galleries cut in the solid face of the rock and the workmen engaged in cutting the galleries were in many cases lowered in cages from the cliffs above. More than sixty tunnels had to be cut in the course of construction. one, the famous Galera Tunnel, one and one half miles in length, the highest engl- neering project of it's kind on earth.
 It is on this road that the signal achievement of constructing a lofty steel bridge connecting two tunnels was accom- plished In building this bridge, which spans crevice 575 feet wide and hundreds of feet deep, it was necessary to lower all material from the top of the cliffs by wire cables The whole stupendous task was made possible only by the liberal use of the ''V switch or 'switchback. In one instance on the Peruvan Railroad 1t was found necessary to construct a switchback in the side of the mountain. the train heading in on the lower level and back out through an upper tunnel almost exactly above. The cost of the Oroya Railroad when completed was was $4S, ,O0O. .OOO or $3l1. .594 a mile. making 1t one of the most costly roads in the world. F

MCCARTHY FOUND DEAD
BELIEVED TO HAVE FALLEN THROUGH ELEVATOR SHAFT.
Atlanta Workman Met Death Alone in a New Building~-Fell
 Sixty Feet Into Basement.

Charles Mccarthy, cornice maker. who worked on the new store mousse or Winter, Loeb & Co.,, corner of Coosa ana Tallapoosa Streets, was found dead Tn the elevator shaft of the new building by fellow workmen yesterday morning about 6:3O o'clock.
 Indications are that he met his death by falling through the shaft from one of the upper floors. His skull was crush ed, his back broken, and both legs frac- tured Coroner W. H. Tice of Mont gomery County, who investigated the tragedy, returned verdict or cause of death, accidental falling through ele- vator shaft.
 What time the tragedy occurred is not known Mccarthy was last seen by two fellow workmen. Wallace Johnson and John Sullivan, Sunday afternoon about s o'clock. He was then in an intoxicated condition. The supposition is that he en- tered the new building for the purpose of sleeping.
 There is a circumstance that throws an air of mystery around the death Of Mccarthy A pint bottle, three-fourths full of whiskey and uncorked. was found in his coat pocket, when the badly bruis- ed body was examined by the coroner. His head was badly bruised and frac- tured, presumably by striking scant- linfi his back was broken and his legs
  the ground But the most fragile and most exposed article on his person, an ordinary whiskey flask, was intact. The body was found lying in prone posi- ton, face downwards, indicating that he fell head first, but the liquor in the uncorked bottle did not spill.
 Mccarthy had been in Montgomery about two months. He boarded at the Clifton House on Bibb Street His home was in Atlanta. Ga. where he had wife and several children to whom the body was shipped yesterday afternoon. He was connected with the Atlanta Cornlcc and Roofing Company. He was considered a skilled workman.
 Mccarthy was 42 years old. and was a large and vigorous man.
 The shaft through which he is sup posed to have fallen Is sixty feet or more in depth and runs through three floors and a basement. The body of Mo Carthy was found in the basement.
 He is said to have drank heavily since he came to Montgomery.

The city Fence Mud oo.

Country Life in America.
 The development of the modern city residence street requires the removal of front fences. It was not so very long ago that cattle were allowed to roam in the village as they were in the country, and fences come with cattle. When cat tie were removed from the streets, the fence did not go. Persons had come to feel that a fence is as much a part Of any place as a walk or a well is It had come to be bound up with the idea of the home. The removal of stock was not suficient reason for the removal of the fence. At best this reason came in the development of what is really the art-idea in the outward characetr of the home, with the grading and parking of streets, and the feeling that the breath of setting for the house can be increased by extend- ing the lawn to the actual roadway. We have now learned that a fence is no necessary part of the plan of place, that it really does not add to the completeness of the establishment, and moreover that 1t may even introduce a discord with the architecture.

DESTROY COTTON WORMS.
Agricultural Department Issues Cir
 cular Letter.


 The State Department of Agriculture and Industries has issued the following circular letter relative to destruction of cotton worms:
 Dear Sir-The cotton worms have ap- peared in considerable numbers in the vicinity of Montgomery, and in fact in nearly every section of the State. In my opinion this crop of worms will not do any considerable damage until about the 1st of September. I have written quite number of letters advising our farmers to be in readiness to commence their poisoning operations about the 1st of September, when I look for the third crop to make their appearance. So far the most effective means of exterminat- ing these pests is pure Paris green. mixed with a small quantity of flour. say one pound of Paris green to five pounds of flour. This quantity should thorough ly poison one acre. The way to apply the poison Is to get a stick or pole two and one-half inches in diameter, and make a small bag of eight-ounce osna- burg and tack 1t on each end of the pole, take a small auger, one-half inch is the proper size, and bore hole through the stick above the sack. and fill the sack with the mixture through this hole using small funnel for this purpose. A man can Vlen get on a horse or mule and cover two rows at a time by & slight motion or shake of the pole, the Paris green dusts out and gets on the cotton and is death to the worms. I will explain again to you. Get a round pole six feet long or eight will not matter, two and one-half inches in diameter, make your osnaburg bags large enough to hold from three to four pounds of the flour and Paris green and let the hand ride in the middle of the cotton rows. dusting it on the cotton. This method has been used in the rpairies of Alabama where l farmed for a number of years, with entire satisfaction. A man can poison easily in this way on a mule or horse fifteen acres a day and do it thoroughly would not advise the use of London purple ol arsenic as it kills the cotton as well as the worms, nor I would ad- wise the use of Paris green until the next crop of worms make their appear ance. which I look for about the 1st of September. While I do not think the Paris green is calculated to help the cot ton plant. yet it preserves the fruit that is already made and allows the imma- ture bolls to mature. I trust that I have made this clear to you. and if I have not write me and I will take pleasure in making it more explicit I send you un- der separate cover a Bulletin on poison- ing which I advise you to read care fully. am very much delighted that you have applied to me asking my as- sistance for that Is one of the works of this Department. Command me when can serve you. "R. E. Poole.
