Uric Acid

mas caused more devastation in the ranks

those interested in the medical profes-

most eminent and famous physicians all
agree that rheumatism. Rright's disease

acid is eliminated orly through the pores

What Incense Is.

Incense is the resinous tear
shaped gum that exudes from a
tree found in British Somaliland,
from near Berbera to Cape Guar
daful. Some incense comes from
a region adjoining Muscat, near
the Arabian coast. Inferior in
cense is found in India, but the
best and greatest quantity comes
from British Somaliland. The
incense tree is squatty, thorny
and unsIghtly-like the myrrh
and acacia-and seldom reaches
a height of fifteen feet. Incense
is not only used in worship, but
many orientals use it to sweeten
the breath and burn it in their
houses to kill disagreeable odors.
The crop varies from 2,240, 900 to
100000 pounds and is gathered
in the autumn and brought to
market by the Somalis during the
winter months. The price ranges
from two to six annas flour to
twelve cents) per pound accord
ing to quality. Incense is ex-
tensively used all over the ORR
ent, and the last year 1,49S,74
pounds were shipped to Bombay,
which is great distributing

Europe, the greater portion 60

Bishop Hoss on the Mountains.

We do not know of anything
that puts our patience to as Sc
we're a task as the prevailing no
ton, fostered by false statistics
and false philanthropy and per-
verse stupidity, that the people
among the mountains of East
Tennessee and the Carolinas are
in special need of educational, re-
ligious and moral development.
We most heartily commend the
following from DR.. Hoss:
"There is more ignorance,
more immortality, more down.
right heathenism in lower New
York than all the Southern
mountains put together. The
great majority of the noun
taineers, as l have before said,
are excellent citizens, loving
their country and it's flag, obey
ing it's laws without reluctance
and ready to fight for it when
ever any fighting needs to be
done.
"They are defendants of men
who rode with Sewer and Shelby
to Kings Mountain in 1880, and
of those who followed Jackson in
1915. In the civil war they de-
vided sharply. Neutrality is
foreign to their natures. They
are always on one side or the
other and have a perfectly glori-
Gus capacity for partnership.
"The bulk of them till their
own lands with their own hands.
They are great lovers of their
homes and their families. Hon.
esty, courage and hospitality are
almost universal among them.
Corn cribs go unlocked all the
year round, and fanatics work in
the field, leaving their houses
wide open and unoccupied all the
day long. To be known as a
coward is to lose standing. To
turn away stranger who seeks
food and shelter is unheard of.
Anarchists and communists are
of course, out of the question.
Belief in Christianity is wide
spread, and is followed by men,
bership in some church.-Jasper

Railroad Accident S

g Railroad managers will have
to take sufficient precautions to
reduce the awful record of ac-
cidents. That it is done in Eu-
rope proves that it can be done
here, and the record the inter
state commerce commission is
keeping, and is publishing an
nually and quarterly, is calcu-
lated to arouse public sentiment
to the point of compelling great
err care. In the first quarter of
this year there were 1860 col

involving damage to roadway
and rolling stock amounting to

A pianist has to cultivate the
eyes so as to see fifteen hundred
signs in one minute the fingers
to make 1000 movements, and
the brain to understand all these
signs, as well as direct all these
movements. In playing Web
er's "Motto Perpetuo" a pianist
has to read 4,541 notes in less
than four minutes, or nineteen a
second, but the eye can receive
only about ten consecutive i'm

LANTRIP'S LAWYERS
WIN FIRST POINT
MAN ACCUSED OF RECEIVING
MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE-
TENsEs GOES HOME UNDER
BOND.

Bessemer, October 29.-(Special)-The
attorneys for II. w. Lantrip, charged
with receiving money under false pre-
lenses. won the first point in the legal
battle that has been waged in the Bes-
semer city court for several days when
Judge B. Clay Jones arrested judgement
and bound Mr.. Lantrip over to the grand
jury under a bond of $500.
For several days the case has been in
progress in the court. Last Thursday the
jury brought in verdict of guilty as
charged In the indictment found by the
grand jury at its last session. Lantrip's
attorneys, however, made a motion to ar
rest judgment, which was sustained by
Judge Jones and the defendant was dis
missed so far as the Bessemer court is
concerned.
1t is alleged that Mr.. Lantrip. who
failed In business last year, made a false
statement to the Bessemer Trust and
Banking company relative to the amount
Of his indebtedness. After his failure and
the selling of his stock of goods by a
receiver Mr.. Lantrip removed to Tupelo
Miss. The case against him was taken up
by the grand jury which resulted in in
dictment being returned on charge OF
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Mr.. Lantrip has made the required bond
and returned to his home at Tupelo.

ever, is that the movement of money to
the interior for crop purposes has not
only great diminished in volume but that
there are almost unmistakable indications
of a turn hither in the monetary tide. The
deposits increased "a, 6S7. 500, which amount
reflected the gain Of 81, 1856 200 in loans,
the result probably Of syndicate borrow
ings, and also to those by commission
houses early in the week The daily av-
erage of bank cearings during the week
was 1922, 100000, or 100000 greater than
in the previous week.
Though the statement was made on
declining averages for cash owing to
the bringing over into this bank the re-
mainder of the s3,250,O00 gold which was
withdrawn for export on Wednesday and
on Friday, this fact is not important, for
there will doubtless be received on Mon
day about 100000 Japanese gold which ar
rived at San Francisco on Sunday. Com
parsons of loans show that seven insti-
tutions gained $3O0O,000 net; the same
number of banks indicate net gain or
$500. 600 cash.

Demand for Human Hair.

From the Boston Transcript.
The largest dealers in human hair in
New York, who practically supply the
hair crop oe the entire country, are au-
thority for the statement that the de-
mand for this commodity was never as
great as IT is at present The result is
that the price of all shades and styles of
human hair is rapidly soaring upward.
There has been an advance in the price
of first class hair of from 80 to so per
cent within the last three months. The
present indications are, judging from the
size of the crop now being imported, that
there will be a still further advance in
prices during the winter months. One
dealer said today that 1t is almost i'm
possible to supply the demand for first
class gray hair. A wig of gray human
hair of fine quality is worth its weight In
silver, or perhaps, even in gold.

MONEY CURRENT

STARTLING FEATURE OF BANK
STATEMENT is FACT THAT so
LITTLE MONEY is GOING TO
THE INTERIOR.

New York, October 29.-The Financier
says: The notable feature of the official
statement of the New York Associated
Banks last week was the remarkable
close correspondence between the cash in
the main, as reported in the statement
and the net loss which was estimated on
the basis of the traceable movements OF
money during the week. The net gain of
cash by the banks was 500, 100, while the
estimated increase was s17700. consider
ing the fact that the statement must have
included the withdrawal from the banks
of s2,OOO,OOO gold on Friday for shipment
to Paris, which would count for one day,
or about $3.50 900 in the averages, and that
the estimates included only the with
drawal of 81, APO. 900 on Wednesday for ex-
port on Thursday, an average of about
5000. 900, the slight discrepancy between
the estimated loss and the actual gain
may be easily accounted for.
