THE OF FATS.

Two Instances Which Show Their
Almost Human intelligence.
I commented recently on the way
in which small c~arcasses are disposed
Of by natures s~cavengers. says a
writer in the Pal Mall Gazette. A far
mer on the moorlands, whence /
write, observed a curious instance of
this lately. One or the young fowls
lay dead in a field From the oppo-
site side of a low hedge he saw a rat
approach and pull at it. Being too
heavy FOR the raider to- drag away,
he left it, and the farmer, guessing
what would happen next, jumped over
the hedge. and, after picking his bird
up, hid again to watch the rats tao
tics. Very soon he returned to the
spot with two other rats. The express
sion on these creatures faces. when
no chicken was to be seen there, was,
he says. intensely human. They look.
ed at their unfortunate companion,
who had, as they considered, deceived
them, for a moment or two. and. then,
falling on him together, actually did
him to death.
They are truly wonderful beasts;
a friend, whose hens eggs had been
taken largely, hid up in his fowl house
and patiently waited till he saw a
large rat run UP a short hen ladder to
q nest, and seize an egg between his
paws. He then land himself on his
back, and held the egg on his chest.
More rats appeared. and forming
themselves into a chain from the
ground, they positively drew the rat
with the egg down the ladder, passing
1t along from one to the other till 1t
was safely below.

The day was when men Of prominence
hesitated to give their testimonials t.

remains true to-day of most proprietary

justly famous, it's merits are known to Sc
many people of high and low stations

given Peruna a strong endorsement. Mel

ONLY MAKES A BAD NATTER
WORSE.

Perhaps You have never thought
of it but The fact must be apparent
to every one that constipation is
caused by lack Of water in the sys-
TEN, and the use of drastic cathar-
tics like the old fashioned pills only
makes bad matter worse. Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets
are much more mild and gentle in
their effect, and when the proper dose
is taken their action is so natural
that one can hardly realize that it IS
the effect of medicine. Trya rs

Does This Mean You?

1t is extremely distasteful to a
newspaper to be continually dunning
its subscribers through its editorial
columns and we are no exception to
the rule. At the same time We have
between four and five hundred SUBJ
scribers on our books, each of whom
is owing a dollar or more for the
paper they have been reading for a
year or longer without paying one
cent towards its support. In the
aggregate this amounts to quite a
sum-more than we are able or will
ling to lose without an effort to COL
lect it.
The cotton cropis all about harvest
ed and now IS the time for all to meet
this obligation if they intend doing
30 at all. On January l we shall
revise our mailing list and cut off
deIinquents such as We despair OF
collecting from, as no newspaper
can afford to carry dead weight OF
several hundred delinquents. We
would rather have five hundred bona
fide subscribers who appreciate a
paper sufficiently to pay for it than
two thousand who do not pay at the
beginning of the year. the end Of the
year or at any time during the year.
A great many of our friends have
paid their subscription, quite a num-
Der. in advance to 1904. 70 them
this article is not directed and they
have our sincere thanks for their
theughtful kindness. We hope that
the great majority Of those indebted
to US will come forward at once and
pay up as they are abundantly able
to do with cotton selling at nearly
eleven cents a pound. Come up,
frieads, and favor the paper that has
favored you.

time ago by a concern advertising 8
cure for the morphine habit. The
price offered was rather liberal Us
such things 60, but the contract
stipulated that payments Were to be
made semi-annually. We wrote
them that We would allow discount
of 10 per cent for cash and if this
were not agreeable please to furnish
references. They replied that they
did not have to pay in advance for
their advertising as they could get
all they wanted on time (and doubt
less they could), adding that as their
company was a newly organized one
it had no rating in Dun's or Brad
streets. but that at a small expense
We could get from these agencies a
report rs to their financial standing.
We did not care to incur the small
expense and so the matter ended.
But we have seen this same concerns
advertisements in dozens Of weekly
newspapers throughout the STATE,
and we understand that no attention
is being paid to bills sent in:by papers
which have been carrying the adver-
tising six months or longer. 1t is
in this way that Northern swindlers
rob their victims of thousands of
dollars yearly and it is high time
that the Southern weekly newspapers
learned not to be deceived BY the
specious promises of those who thrive
and prosper by long range thievery.

Lobg Range Thievery.

As easy marks for advertising
takers the weekly newspapers Of the
State are "the limit" Many OF
them accept without question any
old advertising proposition that
comes their way and at the end OF
three or six months, as the case may
be, after numerous appeals for Set
Element to which deaf ear is turned
by the stouy-hearted grafters, they
close up the account with a sigh
and the entry, 'proft and loss, net
loss," and that is the end OF the
transaction so far as the publisher Is
concerned.
There is such thing as learning
by experience ana III oue ooa''o -
time even the gold brick scheme
peters out in the most bucollc VI

newspapers seem never to imolbe
