/ 1t Is positively necessary to mend the nervous
weakness OF the stomach - to regulate its,action
and re-establish its natural functions The stom-
ach secretions have been interfered with.
DR.. Greene's Nervura will do this where no other
remedy will have the desired effect.
Ii you are constipated, and most stomach suffer-
ers are, don't take the first cathartic that comes
along, because the means you are employing to
make. your bowels act is one of the things that is
running your stomach and your digestion Take
DR.. Greene's Nervura before and after your meals,
and write to DR.. Greene about your condition.
especially about your constipation. You will get
DR.. Greenes advice free, and it will be the advice
which exactly fits your case.
Doctors usually make light of constipation, and
the reason none of them cures stomach trouble
permanently is that they don't know how to make
your bowels perform their regular function with
out upsetting the stomach.
Write or call on DR.. Greene, 101 Fifth Avenue,
New York, for the advice that is known to effect
a cure in all these obstinate and chronic cases
The person who begins to-day to take
DR.. Greene's Nervura for stomach trouble, and
will take little before and little after each
meal, viii be surprised to find his very first meal
will be digested with perfect comfort and after
two or three days he will become an ardent advo-
cate Of DR.. Greene's Nervura, which has cured it's
thousands and tens of thousands and stands to-day
the conqueror of stomach troubles of every form.
1t takes away that awful weight, and it does it
at once. 1t attacks every nervous disease, first,
through the stomach nerves.

DIR. Greene S NerVgura
Restores The Normal Stomach Condition

When you take a tablespoonful of Dr. Greenes
Nervura directly before meal, and another
directly after the meal, that weight does not
come down on your stomach.
In two days time the spectre of big dinner
vanishes. You don't have to remain slave to
your stomach or to medicine. DR.. Greene's
Nervura attends to the stomach, where the real
distress and the real danger lie
1t may require few days to get the stomach
exactly toned but the relief is marked from the
first day
DR.. Greepe's Nervura is, without any question,
the very finest remedy for bad digestion and for
weakened stomachs that the world has ever
known.

this just to show what is possible

In regard TO the farm near Colum-
bia, he said it would cost less to run
it in diversified crops than it would in
cotton. There would be no chickens
or fruits raised On the diversified
farms for the first year or 30. He
gave an instance Of what had been
produced on 13 acres of land on just
such soil as Mr.. Hyatt's place, and
predicted an entire success for the

he told of "hog" farm which he has

Wanted to Wear his Felt Hat to Fun
eral.

Washington, Feb. c0.-Judgc Bart
lett, Of Georgia, who was one OF the
members Of the House appointed by
the Speaker to accompany the body of
Senator Hanna to Cleveland and to
attend the funeral, for the first time
in his life wore silk hat.
The Judge has always been devo-
tee of the felt hat [; he believes it is
as essential to Democracy as the Con-
stitution itself. In his country the
GLOSSY lid" is as much despised as q
rattlesnake, and just about as scarce.
The Judges political future would be
blank were he to go to Georgia be-
meath one Of these evidences Of mod
ern civilization, but, nevertheless. Che
wore one on this occasion.
The Judge had on his characteristic
wool hat and was en- route to the sta
ton when he encountered big "Jim"
McAndrews, q Democratic colleague
from Chicago.
"Great heavens, Judge; you're not
going to wear that blank old wool hat
to the funeral, are you?" exclaimed
McAndrews.
''Sure, SIR" replied the Judge.
"Why, sir, 1 never wore any other
kind of hat in my life, and I'm too old
to take up II. " fads now, sir.
"I'll be damned" calculated Nc
Andrews, who is not given to the use
of profanity except under great provo
cation, "if I'll let you disgrace your
seif and iook Ike Q: tramp among q
party of gentlemen. Why every other
man in the party will have on silk
hat, and you'll look Ike the devil in
that thing you wear"
For fifteen minutes the big Chica-
goan argued the matter with the Geor-
gian, and finally cut the discussion
short by calling messenger and send.
ing to his hotel for o discarded silk
hat Of his own, and when it was
brought to him he insisted that Judge
Bartlett wear it.

many miles in a buggy, Special Pen

turned with story illustrating the
courtesy of Kentucky farmers.
After dark one night Col. Mcintyre
drove up to farm house, and after
pounding on the door with his buggy
whip, finally aroused the farmer who
had been sleeping.
"Can I get a bed and an early
breakfast?" he said. .

Judge and Lawyers.

The Judge had had his patience
sorely tried by lawyers VINO wished TO
talk and by men who tried TO evade
jury service. Between Hypothetical
questions and excuses it seemed as if
they never would get to the actual
trial of the case. So when the puz.
zled little German who had been ac-
cepted by both sides jumped up, the
Judge was exasperated.
"Shudge!" cried the Germap.
What is it?" demanded the Judge.
II think / like to go home to my
wife, said the German.
"You can't" retorled the Judge.
"Sit down."
But, Shudge,' persisted the Ger.
map, II don't tink 1 make good
shuror."
You're the beg. in the box" said
the Judge. "Sit down"
"What box?" asked the German.
"Thc jury box," said the Judge.
"Oh, thought it was bad box
that peoples gets in sometimes.
"No,' said the Judge; "thc bad
oox is the prisoner box"
But, Shudge," persisted the little
German; Il don't speak good Eng
lish."
"You won't have 20 speak any at
all, said the Judge. "Sit down"
The little German pointed at the
lawyers to make his last desperate
plea.
"Shudge." he said, II cant make
holdings out of what these fellert
say"
It was the Judges chance to ge,
even for many annoyances.
Neither can anyone else" he said
"Sit down."
With sigh the little German sa

Columbia State.

War against the boil wccvil. That
is :hc cry of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. And war was
never conducted in such manner as
will be done in this crusade. The
way to cxtcrminatc the boil wccvl is
to do away with those things upon
which he prcys. The removal Of cot,
ton as the money crop" Of the South
means the necessity Of finding some
other means of making livelihood.
And thus the need Of divcrsfication
farm to teach the farmers how to
plant, what TO plant, when to plant,
how much to plant and when to obtain
the products.
There was a gathering of the most
representative farmers of Richland
County at the city hall yesterday, and
the plans for the diycrsiication farm
were discussed in way which deep
ened the interest which had Eccn felt
in the first announcement Of tho com
ing Of the representative Of the de-
partmcnt Of agriculture. DR.. w. j.
Spillman, the agrostologist, is no
stranger in this State, having first
come here at the invitation of the late
Congressman Stokes to speak to tho
farmers Of the Seventh Congressional
District, and he has made other trips
to the State in the interest of diversi-
fed agriculture. But the diversiti-
cation which has been recommended
in the past was to prevent the farmers
from an ovcrproduction of cotton,
which for decade brought such a
miserahiy poor price. Now, it seems,
that the boil weevil has accomplished
that which thinking farmers have
been trying to do for years--to get
the South as a section interested in
something other than cotton, not a
substitute for cotton, but in addition
to the staple product.
AS had been announced in The
State, DR.. Spillman came here to
speak of the divcrsification farm to be
located near the city on lands of Mr..
+. II. Hyatt. DR.. Spillman and his
auditors became 80 much eugrosscd in
the general discussion Of the boil
weevil and it's menace to the South
that he had very little to say of the
plans upon which he will work the
farm near Columbia. He is very
proud Of this undertaking and calls
the farm of Mr.. Hyatt's place "Diver-
si6cation Farm No. l." because Mr..
hyatt was the 6rst to consent to let a
part Of his farm be used by the govern.
ment. When the government appro-
priated s250.O00 for the extermipa-
tion Of the boil wesvil by the indirect
method Of starving it out, certain
sum was set aside for the conduct OF
these practical farms to show how
crops may be diversified with profit.
DR.. Spillman was then given the ad.
dress Of q number of prominent farm
ers OF the South, and wrote to caoh
of them asking if the government
could be given the use of certain
portion of his farm for the purpose

DANGERS OF BASKET BALL
Woman Physical Director at Welles-
ley Urges Campaign Against
So-Called Abuse.

A letter from Miss Lucille Eaton
Hill, director of physical culture at
Wellesley college, urges a campaign
against that which she terms this
dreadful abuse of uncontrolled basket
ball in girls secondary schools" says
Good Housekeeping. How strongly
and deeply this good friend of girls
feels. who is an ayowed enthusiast
with regard to athletics for women,
is evident from the specific charges
brought in the letter against this
game as it is oftentimes played. Moral
injury, as we'll as physical, Miss Hill
finds in uncontrolled basket ball trace
able largely to the development of the
competitive spirit. This competition
has been known to descend to the
level of smuggling" So long as ath-
letics make a girl stronger and more
womanly, as they u~ndeniahly can do,
there is none to quarrel with them or
take offense. Uncontrolled basket
ball,' in the experience of Miss Hill
and she knows, IL anybody-has
passed out of this useful sphere.
Woman is not undeveloped man, but
diverse" The boys and men who
.stoop to folly in their sports should
be object lesson enough to womep ax-
posed to the same temptation

SWEET LIPS cHANoE HANDS
Gun That Turned tia Tide of Revo-
luton Becomes Property of Pen-
sion ComniGsioncr Ware,

Sweet Lips" the gun that is said to
revolution and led to the surrendes OF
Lord CORVALLIS, has recently become
the possession of Mr.. Ware, the COM
missioner of pensions. 1t was the
property of Darling Jones. a south
srner, who, as q ~1G-year-old boy, en-
listed in the continental service and
fought for nine months. first in Col.
Shelby's regiment from North Caro-
lima, and afterward in Col. John Sc
vier's regiment from eastern Tennes-
see. Jones carried the gun at the bat
tie Of Kings mountain on October 2,
1880, and, the story says, fred the bull
let that killed Ferguson. the major
who led the British forces. The death
Of the commander Of the expedition
was the turning point Of the battle, and
that battle. with its score of 300 Brit
ons killed and wounded, and $40 cap
tured, was the turning-point of Gen.
Corvallis career. The expedition of
CORVALLIS was Immediately checked,
and his capture subsequently effected.
The gun is a long-barreled flint lock, a
clumsy and unsightly weapon, but 1t
was effective at short range in those
days. Jones, who lived at Jonesboro,
Tenn, died in 1848. He gave the. gun
to his son-in-law. William Duncan,
who, in turn, presented 1t to Frank
Montcastle, in whose family it re-
NAMED for many years.
