6 HERE is a tendency among the NY ologians to make of hell very
 pleasant place. While they have not exactly succeeded in creating the i'm pression that 1t is desirable summer re- sort still 1t has become much. less fear some than the fire and birthstone abode of departed sinful souls that once kept the eonseiences of our forebears in good repair. Now such reckless discussion of a region that we know little about is apt to prove harmful an instill wrong ideas in the minds of unlearned folk. It is rather difficult to understand how sci entists and theologists can display an intimate knowledge of the climate and typographical features of hell when as matter of fact none of them has ever visited the place and no traveller across that bourne has ever returned to tell the tale of his wanderlngs. great many people still believe that there is a place of future punishment but they have mod ined their views and have managed to lessen It's terrors to an extent that threatens to impair many healthy con sciences Still deep thinkers and others who have considered the matter are prob ably wrong in thinking that the temper ature of hell will be nothing more than tropical, that there will be soda water establishments for the thirsty and that the devil is an Ice man.
 Of the many and varied contriyances which have reen devised so that the pub- lie may risk it's neck on them under the impression that the individual owners of the necks are having a good tirne it is probable that the chutes supply the maximum of excitement and exhilaration with the minimum of danger. Of course If you are very timorous person and havs no accident policy about your per- son you may take a thrilling spin on the merry -go-round without disastrous re- suits but the chutes have that fascinating element of danger that Is not so real as 1t seems and consequently is more popu- lar. The comparatively few accidents that have been attributed to chutes. of which there are hundreds in all parts of the country, speaks very highly in their favor The construction and oper- alton Of these amusement enterprises is so simple that there is practically no danger so long as you ''holl tight" But for hair-raising, ncck-breaking experi- ence just take a trip on a first class scenic railway.
 Before very much longer the tide of winter travel will set toward the golden west land that once held forth a promise of wealth to eager adventurers and now offers health to an army of tourists who are anxious to obtain the prize. To Denver, Pike's Peak, Colorado Springs, San Antonio. the resorts of Arizona and New Mexico and last but not least, smiling California, thousands will wend their way. In some respects San Antonio is the most attractive of these

SECRETARY WILSON.
rom the Selma Times

From the Selma Times.
 Secretary Wilson of the agricultural de- partment has made political speech up in Vermont and has soundly roasted the south. The department of agriculture comes in contact with more people, in times of peace than any other cabinet position, and the man filling that chair ought to be free from all bias against any other section of the nation. After Mir. Wilson's Vermont speech he ought to resign his position in the cabinet, don a blood red shirt and tour the country for Teddy. He is unfit to hold cabinet position.

J. w. Martin, the well known attorney of Ensley, has returned from an extend ed trip throughout the east and north. While away Mir. Martin spent several days in Washington and New York familiarizing himself with the political situation. "The democrats" said Mir. Mar tin, will sweep the country in the No- vember election. The people all look up- on Judge Parker as an ideal candidate. The conservative people of the east are tired and disgusted with the Roosevelt administration. In my opinion New York, New Jersey. West Virginia and Delaware will all go democratic. In New York it appears that the republicans have aban- doned the fight"

Webster City, Iowa, Dec 6.-Professor
r. G. Holden this year made 100000
more bushels of corn grow in the state
OF Iowa than were raised the preceding
season, and in 1905 expects to double
the increase in yield. He is the agrono-
mist in the Iowa agricultural college,
and is most popular among farmers.
His salary is only $4,000 per year, yet
in the last II months he has earned an
additional $4,000 for the man with a
hoe. The professor found farmers last
winter Discouraged over the corn out
look. When weather was not too wet it
was too dry, and if by chance they OBJ
tanned middle condition, along came q
storm and blew down the stalks. He
had decided what Iowa needed was corn
with ears growing close to the ground.
He experimental until he found the kind
that answered the demand. Then be

The Secret of Success.

Forty million bottles of August Flower
sold in the United States alone since it's
introduction And the demand for it is
still growing. Isn't that a fine showing
of success? Don't it prove that August
Flower has had unfailing success in the
cure of indigestion and dyspepsia-the
two greatest enemies of health and hap
piness? Does it not afford the best evil
dence that August Flower is sure
specific for all stomach and intestinal
disorders?-that it has proved itself the
best OF all liver regulators? August
Flower has a matchless record OF over
thirty five years in curing the ailing mil
lions of these distressing omDlaints-s
success that is becoming wider in its
scope every day, at home and abroad, as
the fame OF August Flower spreads.

The officers and crew Of the British
ship Wanderer, which arrived yester-
day, 195 days from Antwerp, have
learned more about storms during the
last six months than many sailormen
discover in a lifetime
The Wanderer left Antwerp on Jan
uary % in a dense fog, which only
cleared when blown away by a howl
ing southwester. So bad did the wealth
er become that Captain Dunning ran
his ship into st. Helens Bay for shell
ter. After weeks detention the voy-
age was resumed. but the English
channel was still in surly mood and
another and greater gale took charge
Of the Wanderer.
Sails were blown away and as the
vessel wallowed among the hills and
valleys of angry water the cargo
on the tween decks broke adrift
Bales, barrels and boxes chased each
other across the deck, smashing each
other and distributing samples of gen
eral merchandise from one end of the
tween decks to the other.
The Wanderer was sailed into Fal-
mouth, where sails were renewed and
the cargo restowed. She resumed the
voyage February 19 and two days
later ran into another heavy gale.
Unable to negotiate the Horn the
Wanderer came by way of the Cape of
Good Hope. where more storms were
encountered. Captain Dunning has
been going 10 sea for 30 years. The
voyage just ended was the toughest
and longest he says, that he ever
made
