10000 Per Bottle

This seems pretty big price to pay
for single bottle of medicine, and vet
if you consider the matter rightly. it
is very cheap price for a bottle of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
500 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine. and yet you can buy it for SO
cents a bottle.
Don't buy it from substitutors. Your
health and happiness is your business.
and making money out of you is their
business.
Buy the honest Johnson's Tonic. Take
no counterfeit or substitute.-ad.

DRUGGISTS WANT ONE PHONE
Decided to Cut Out the Bell But That
Company VIII Make n Fight


Company VIII Make n Fight.
The members of the Savannah Drug
gist Association, who at a recent meet
ing, when the organization took place,
decided to stop the cut rate on all pat
ent and proprietary articles, and who
have lived up to that agreement since
Jan. Is, when it went into effect, have
now a further plan for reducing ex-
penses, and this plan is in a fair way
to be adopted
The scheme is to use but one tele-
phone service instead of two as is
now generally the case. A petition to
that effect has been in circulation for
the last day or so and has been pretty
generally signed by the druggists.
though final action will not be taken
on it until the next meeting of the
association, which will be held prob
ably next month.
The druggists feel that the expense
of ono phone is enough, and. acting
on this idea, elected to keep the Geor-
gia phone, and cut out the Bell--that
is, If all the members of the assoca-
ton can be induced to do likewise. The
Georgia phone was selected, it is stat
ed. because it seems to be more gen.
orally used in the residence section of
the city than is the other.
AS there are some thirty-five drug
gists in the association such concerted
action on their part as is proposed
would mean quite a loss to the Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
and the company will take steps to
Illustrate the movement, and to that
end has asked that it be allowed a
representative at the next meeting of
the druggists.

Pretty Certain One VIII he Estnb-
lished for the worthy Poor.
1t is hardly probable that the special
committee from Council to look into
the matter of establishing poor house
on the County Farm will meet the
County Commissioners before next
week. Chairman Colding, however,
expects to be able to report to Council
at its meeting next Wednesday night.
Col. Colding has not yet called his
committee together, but is of the opin-
ion that a poor house will be estab-
hshed for the mendicants of Chatham
county. He feels that every person
who is aged or MANNED, and who is
unable to earn a livelihood, should be
given a home, provided that they are
from Savannah. 1t is not the purpose
of the city to establish a home for
transient beggars or for imposters, and
those who secure admission must be
worthy. After Col. Colding has called
his committee together a meeting will
be held with the County Commission
ers and some plan will be agreed

FORGED ORDER FOR CLOTHES.
Negro Boy Tried SwindIe Game But
Lost Out.

A daring effort to steal a suit of
clothes and an overcoat was made yes
terday by young negro boy. In the
name of Mr.. John F. Dwyer he wrote
note to Mr.. Dryers mother direct
ing her to deliver to bearer my best
suit of clothes out of my room; 1
wish to have them pressed" Then, in
a postscript, was added: II expect
you'd better send my overcoat, too; it
is getting cooler"
AS the note contained no address
other than the number of the young
mans house, and further, was illit-
crate, Mrs. Dryer refused to deliver
the articles, and the negro left. He had
been gone but a minute or two when
Mr.. Dwyer came to dinner and was
shown the note. The matter has been
reported to the police. Similar swim
dies are worked frequently, and often
times with success.

DUTY HIS ONLY THOUGHT.
'Is the Mail Safe First Words of In
jured Railway Postal Clerk.

An incident of the wreck of the South
ern Railway train at Mcintosh two
weeks ago. and which has not before
appeared in print. is that connected
with the rescue of the colored mail
clerk. The mail car was thrown over
the tender and it was impossible to en-
ter it except through the roof, in which
a hole had to be cut.
When the men inside had been
brought out it was found that the white
clerk was uninjured, but that the negro
was unconscious. He was carried to a
hut nearby and when he recovered con-
seriousness his first words were: us the
registered mail safe?"
Among the passengers on the train
who knew of the incident was Rev.
Francis T. Russell, of the General The
illogical Seminary, New York, who
writing of the incident, said: THE
mans mind was more on his duty than
his injuries; it evinced a devotion
worthy of record. and he we'll deserves
the credit and good name which 1t
should bring him"

CENTER OF JAPAN's POWER.
An Ancient City of KyotO and Some
of Its Most Interesting
Features.

Bishop S. c. Partridge, of Kyoto, the
ancient capital of Japan, city of near
ly half million, in the exact center
of the main island:
''Kyoto is very interesting city,"
said Bishop Partridge to a Washington
Star representative, and for 1000
years was the center of power
of Japan. 1t is 1926 miles from
Toxic, the present capital, and
about 60 miles from the sea-
port. 1t contains the double palaces
of the shogun, or false emperor, and
the mikado, or true emperor OF the
divine line. 1t is beautifully situated
in natural amphitheater, laid out in
perfect regularity, and is the center
of the historic and artistic interest of
Japan. In addition to this the largest
and most beautiful Buddhist temples
in the empire are there.
''There are six Episcopal dioceses in
Japan, four presided over by bishops
of England and two by American bish
ops. The main island is about 200 by
: 900 miles, and l have the exact center
of it in my diocese. The total popula-
tion is nearly 100000. The native

MOUNTAINS ON VENUS.
Have Discovered Some Great
Elevations.

We seem to be getting on familiar
terms with neighboring worlds. With
Mars and its intricate system OF ca
mails, il not its actual inhabitants,
thanks to the delicate Investigations
Of late years, everybody is pretty well
acquainted. Now Herr Arendt, who is
a German, and, therefore, not trifler,
announces theSdiscovery of mountains
on Venus. To observers hitherto the
planet has seemed wrapped in an inn
penetrable envelope of cloud, which.
when near the earth, is the cause Of its
astonishing brilliancy; but Herr
Arendt, who has had the instruments
of the Urania observatory at Berlin
to work with, considers that he has
detected markings of Venus which
indicate the presence of great eleya-
tions, seen from time to time through
the clouds surrounding it, reports the
London Globe.
Novel as the suggestion is, it is but
revival of an old idea. Long ago
Schroter fancied he saw evidence of
mountains on Venus in the raggedness
Of the terminator-that is, the line
where light and shade meet, such as
the inner line Of the crescent moon.
He went so far as to measure them,
and announced that they were twenty
five miles high. But then no one had
believed him. Markings have been
noticed on the bright planet from very
early times, from which it was con-
cluded that it rotated in about twenty
four hours, its day being the same
length as our own. Herr Arendt's
observations point to the same points,
in direct contradiction to Schiapar-
ellis famous theory that Venus. held
by tidal influence, always turns the
same face to the sun, as the moon does
to the earth.

BENTON, LOUISIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY |, 1908
KIKU PARTIES IN JAPAN.
The Season when the Kingdom Of
the Mikado Honora the Chrys-
Anthemum.

In Toxic alone, OF rather in it's two
suburbs, the two great public kiku
(chrysanthemum) shows are held,
and the whole countryside turns to
merrymaking for miles around, says
the Philadelphia Record. Miniature
landscape effects are most admired,
and many of these are done entirely
in chrysanthemums, even to the hui
man figures. Historical tableaux are
done, too.
AS for the private shows-every-
body from the mikado down seems
to give one, only in this case it is
called chrysanthemum party. The
one in question was given by Mr..
Sonay, Japan's minister of finance,
his palace and gardens being at the
disposal of the chrysanthemum soci-
ETY.. In addition to the feast of flow-
ers there was in every available re-
cess and in tents scattered through
the gardens the most lavish enter
tainment, viands and wines of the
choicest, with quaint little musumes
ready to serve the guests.
Strange to relate, none but the cut
flowers were for competition, and
these were labeled "new seedlings
only" Three sorts seemed to be the
favorites-fowers with petals in
spiral effects (the outside forets
stand ray-like), flowers with hair
fine florets either erect or hanging
confusedly, and those with soft-col-
ored, broad petals ESQ thin that they
recurve irregularly). Big labels, made
of wood as thin as shaving, are a
feature.
The Jap, with his true eye to ma
ture, gives place to what look like
starvelings when placed beside the
pampered, overfed. These look as if
they'd been sown by the wayside and
got along as best they might.
But not all are of the neglected
sort. There are great specimen
plants that make wonder lovers ex-
claim. Two, grown in the imperial
gardens, under the protection of
three-sided tents, attracted great at
tention. If you'll believe it, the Uncle
Sam was one. 1t was introduced into
this country few years ago, but it
originated in the imperial gardens.
On it were counted $50 perfect bios
SONS of the much admired shaggy
sort. But in point of blossoms, a
wonder grown in the mikado's own
gardens outshone all-the number be-
ing an even 500! This variety has
not yet been disseminated.
For these great specimens COM
plicated lot of wire stakes and, cir
cles are used to hold stems and flow
ers to the admired pyramidal form.
The main stem or trunk of this great
plant is but eight inches in height.

THE GUILTY DEAD.
There Is No Resting Place for the
Rones Of Murderers, in
fs London.

Fourscore murdcrers' bodies are
buried beneath the floors of Newgate
Jail, and the authorities are wonder.
ing how these remains are to be dis
posed of when the work of demoh.
tion reaches their present resting
place, states the London Express.
No cemetery or public burial place
is likely to receive them except under
compulsion. This is evidenced by the
attitude of the city of London and
Tower Hamlets Cemetery company Of
Mile End road, whose officials vigor.
ously repudiate the statement recently
published that their cemetery had
been chosen for the reinterment oi
the Newgate criminals bodies.
This statement, it is urged, is cal.
culated to injure the business Of the
cemetery, and we much regret it was
published in these columns. Few
people would not object to the burial
rof their dear ones in the company OF
Newgate murderers.
Our representative learned at the
Guildhall yesterday that sit is not yet
decided in what cemetery these re.
mains shall be placed. The work OF
removal must be done to the satisfac.
tion of the medical officer of health.
"The town clerks department has
submitted special report on the sub
ject to the city lands committee Of the
corporation, and this will be discussed
at their next meeting"
Considerable crowds of visitors flock
daily to view the ancient prison now
that its days are numbered. Admis.
sion is obtained by ticket issued at the
Guildhall. Curiously enough, at least
two-thirds Of those who pass through
Newgate's once dreaded portal on
sightseeing intent are ladies.
The ghastliest sight Of all is the
famous passageway under which
many murderers lie buried. The brief.
est epitaph suffices for those inferred.
Single initial letters, roughly cut into
stone underfoot-thati is all.
