The Smallpox Case.

Walter Roy, the man who was tax
en- with smallpox and who occupied
the building belonging to E. Il. Rein
hart at Moler's Cross Roads, this coun-
ty, as announced in the REGISTER last
Thursday, has bad case of this loath-
some disease. DR.. Venning went to
Moler's on Thursday and saw the
man, and there was no mistake as to
his condition. A pest-house was at
once built back in a field, some dis
lance from the road, and on Sunday
last a nurse was provided and the
patient moved into the building. Sun
day night the building belonging to
Mr.. Remnant was set on FIRE and COM
pletely destroyed, none of the neieh-
bors having water handy. 1t is be-
lieved that there is no probability
that the disease will spread from this
case. The patient was promptly lso-
lated and every precaution has been
taken to prevent further trouble.
There is case of smallpox in
Charles Town, a young lady having
contracted the disease in Clarke coun-
ty.

all the important features have been
preserved The new bill appropriates
S24, 100000 to be used as fund for
national aid in the improvements of
highways This sum is made availa-
Bile during the next three years at the
rate of $8,OOO,000 annually. No

on an equitable basis, so as to leave
no room for "logrolling.

NOTHING BUT TREES
GREAT FOREST STILL REMAINING
Primeval Wood Reaches From Mexico
to Alaska-Cedar, Fir, HemIock,
Pine and Spruce.

In his article on "The Conquest of
the Forest" in the May Century, Ray
Stannard Baker makes some very sur
prislng statements in regard to the still
standing forests Of North America. He
says
Nowhere else in the world is there
such a forest as this. A few steps In
any direction from the roads of the log
gers brings one at once to the prim-
eval wood.
Turn to the north. A thousand and
nve hundred miles you may wander, If
you Will. and never escape the inclosing
silences of this wood. Across the Brit
1sh possessions, through endless
reaches of mountains, snow-capped, in
accessible, and onward to Alaska, moth
ing but trees and trees-cedar, fir, hem
JOCK, pine and spruce. Turn to the
south. For thousand miles of Sierra,
through the heart of California. where
grows the sequoia, the monarch among
trees, to the very deserts of the Mex
lean border, and you will find this for
est still covering all the hills, thick, ST.
lent and all but undisturbed. A con-
tnent long is this wood, facing the
Pacific. here two hundred miles wide,
from the waters edge across to the
ras, there narrowing to a thin, strag-
Cling, yet persistent growth along the
mountain tops.
This tree before you, rising two hun
dred and fifty feet in air. straight and
strong, thick-coated with brown bark,
its mighty base setting firmly in the
earth. its roots gripping deep, was
growing before Columbus saw America.
Five hundred years has it been stand
ing here, raising its head to the sky.
What storms has it bent before; un-
der what ages of sunshine has it
gained strength; what lightning strikes
have threatened it; what sweeping
fires! And still 1t stands with the sub
lime majesty of age and strength, fear
full of nothing-and the sound of the
axes knocking in the valley below!
But long before the seed of this hoary
giant was sown to the wind, forests
were old on these hills. For fifty thou
sand years and more have these noun
tains been forest clad, one forest ris-
ing five hundred years from youth to
maturity. sinking away in ripe old age
and giving room to another generation
Of trees. Deep in the earth to-day lie
some Of these ancient forests, changed
by the slow chemistry Of the ages into

out for men the sunshine which they
stored up centuries before the begin
ming of history.
We hear much of the magnitude of
western numbering operations. Truly
they are great and wonderful. and yet
SO vast are the forests that men have
barely notched the edges. An eye that
could see the continent length would
hardly perceive the puny cuttings Of
the few loggers among the great trees,
though he might see the blackened evil
dences of the forest fires.

Mrs. E. B. Bradshaw, of
Guthrie, Okla, cured of a severe
case by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
A great many women suffer with .
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary
medical treatment. While the symp-
toms seem to be similar to those Of
ordinary indigestion, yet the medi-
cines universally prescribed do not
seem to restore the patients normal
condition.
Mrs. Pinlkham claims that there
is kind of dyspepsia that is caused
by arrangement of the female organ
ism, and which, while it causes dis
turbance similar to ordinary indiges-
ton, cannot be relieved without .
medicine which not only acts as .
stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine
tonic effects as well.
