the old-time breakdown holds the

the old-time breakdown holds the
boards.
In other rooms are gathered those
who refuse TO dress, and these wander
nude about their little hall. Here and
there is the man or woman who thinks
he or she is part of the animal king
dom and whose utter helplessness is
pitiable. Others hold weighty argu-
Tnents on questions of theology or phil
osophy, and still others fight anew the
battles of campaign that their more
fortunate companions have forgotten
ever existed.
Others are pleading their causes to
visitors and to the physicians, and
though many of the arguments as to
why they should be released are ludi-
crous in the extreme, back of it all
there is a touch of the deepest pathos.
In other parts of the buildings are the
maniacs, and their violent shoutings
and wild actions lend an added feeling
of horror to that which comes even
from the presence of the idiot and i'm
beetle, harmless but pitiable.
Sanitarium Statistics.
No better Endorsement of the wise
management of the large institution
could be secured than the figures of
the superintendent reports, and a
comparison of them with those of
similar institutions in other states.
The report for the eight months end
ing Jan. /, 1904, showed that an aver
age of 2,770 patients had daily received
treatment. At the beginning of that
period there were 2,716 patients in the
institution. During the eight months
$40 new ones were received and 472
discharged, making a net gain of los.
Since July 1 there have been $40 pa
tients received, 242 have died, and 20S
were discharged as cured. This leaves
the total number now in the SANTA
rum, 3,O44 The percentage of re-
coveries is 49 per cent.
The insane convicts, and the Grim
inal insane are treated together with
the other unfortunates, though recon-
mendations have been made, and as
far as possible carried out, for their
separation. There is a lack of accom-
mediation for the treatment of tuber-
culosis patients, the disease of which
more than half of the negro inmates
die.
RecOveries and Costs.
Sixty per cent. of the recoveries are
due to the light employment and the
amusements furnished the inmates by
the authorities. Nearly 800 acres of
land is being cultivated by the sani-
tarium, the patients doing most of the
work.
The per capita cost at Milledgeville
is only $.9O12. Only four institutions
in the country have a lower cost. Two
of these receive pay patients, a thing
that the Georgia institution does not
do, and the third does not include the
salaries of nurses. attendants, ETC., in
the cost, as is done at Milledgeville.
The per capita cost of some of the
other sanitariums for the insane shows
upon what an economic scale the Geor-
gia institution is run. The following
are few of them: Washington, d.
c., $.759; Boston, $685.; Ward Island,
N. J., 1895; Ward Island, east, $40;
Connellsville, Pa, $685., and Warm
Spring, Mont. $3.50.

BULLOCK C0UNTYS
COTTON CROP.
Estimated 1T Will Exceed $4,000
BALES.

Estimated IT Will Exceed $4,000
BALES.
Statesboro, Ga, Nov. 26.-The cot
ton crop of Bulloch county at fair
estimate will hardly exceed 1900 bales
5000 of sea island and 1000 of upland.
OF this amount about 5000 is stored by
farmers and country merchants. with
possibly 5000 yet to be ginned, and in
the fields. With a promise of good
weather, Dec. will find little in the
fields.
Less than 200 bales, either sea is
land or upland, has been stored in the
Statesboro storage warehouses thus
far, against 1000 to 5000 bales of the
previous year, and the general inn
preston is that this is due to an alb
sence of a speculative market. The
farmers are satisfied to dispose of their
cotton at the prevailing prices, which
has in many cases proven the best
thing for all interested and especially
when they have been able to sell for a
profit.

1t takes lots Of vitality, nervous force and
strength to win race. Blood must be
pure and good.
Without good red blood man has a
weak heart and poor nerves Thinness Of
the blood, or anemia, is common in men
and young women, and all those who work
indoors, who do not get enough good OK
ygen in their lungs, consequently have too
many white blood corpuscles.
Keep the nerves nourished, the heart
strong, the head COOL the stomach vigorous,
the liver active with a tonic which has
stood the test Of time and has a wide repu.
tation, such as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Tonics consisting of large portions Of
alcohol, iron or cod liver oil, do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they doknot enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the excep-
ton Of the alcohol, which shrivels up the
red blood corpuscles when il does come In
contact with them. Therefore do not allow
the dealer TO insult your intelligence by
telling you he has something better than

THE EAST SHAKEN
MOST VIOLENT EARTHQUAKE RE
CORDED IN NEW ENGLAND
in TWENTY YEARS,

Boston, Mass. March 81. - Reports
received from various parts of New
England indicate that this mornings
earthquake shock was felt in nearly
all sections of New England and the
maratime provinces. The extent and
severity of the disturbance is said by
astronomers to show that it was the
most remarkable in twenty years. The
motion of the earth was most violent
apparently in eastern Maine where
from three to seven distinct shocks
were felt. Fire alarm bells were rung
and buildings rocked SO as to shake
the pictures from the walls.
Began in Canada.
Beginning at st. John, N. B., the
Seismic vibrations traversed the state
of Maine, causing some slight damage
to buildings in Bangor and Portland.
The shock was felt plainly as far south
as Taunton, this state. Reports from
Manchester, N. H., and Springfield,
Mass, state that the vibrations were
felt distinctly in those two cities.

Saturday was controlled by the stand

against tariff-ripping in his recent
Grant club address, was made chair

Winter Campaign in Siberia is a Sc

st. Petersburg, March 21.-The hard
ships of winter campaign are being
felt with all their force by the Russian
soldiers who are moving toward Man
churia along the Siberian railway.

by binding snow blizzards, is causing
them horrible suffering At Irkutsk,

the troop trains is constantly impeded
by snowdrifts.
The civil authorities at all the more

their efforts to assist the transport ar

comfort of the troops, but so immense
are the difficulties to be faced that they

cases without medical attention, except
for the rough service the Villagers
themselves can supply.
The comnissariat has. broken down
badly and the men have often to GO
twenty-four hours at stretch without
food or drink. Disease is rife and
pneumonia and bronchitis have claim
ed many victims. An epidemic of
smallpox has started in East Siberia
and is spreading.
The Red Cross society and the army
medical corps are doing all they can
but have found it utterly impossible to
cope with the demands made for their
services. Already thousands Of men
have been rendered permanently unfit
for active service by frost bites.
Terrors of Lake Baikal,
The worst portion of the journey is
across Lake Baikal where the ice rail-
way, which is twenty six and one-halt
miles long, and which cost $1,000 a mile
to construct, is now complete, the
trains consisting of three carriages
each, and are generally drawn by
horses, and take nearly day to per-
form the journey across the lake. The
fiat service of the ice is swept by
snowstorms through which the horses
have the utmost difficulty in making
