CHRONIC CATARRH CURED
HyOmeps Wonderful Action in Curing Case of Thirty Years Standing Guaranteed by E. G. Fowler.

Do not try to cure catarrh by taking drugs into the stomach. It cannot be cured in that manner The only way in which this common disease can be cured is through a direct application that will kill the germs of catarrh and prevent their growth. Hyomei is the only known msthod of treatment that ac- complishes this. It is the simplest, most pleasant. and only absolute cure for catt<rh that has ever been discov- cred
 Mrs c. A. Derby. of Beverly. Mass. writes: My husband has had catar- rhal trouble for thirty years and Hyo- mel is the first thing which has ever helped him. He had catarrh fin fits worst form, and nothing except Hyomei ever had any effect on 1t whatever. This gave him relief from the first and he has steadily improved, until now he is cured.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar, consisting of an inhaler and sufficient Hyomei to last for several weeks. Extra bottles can be obtained for fifty cents. F.. c. Fowler has so much confidence in the power of Hyo- mel to cure catarrh that he will sell the treatment under his personal guaran- tee to refund the money if the pur- chasers can say 1t did not benefit. Ask him to show you the strong guarantee under which it is sold.

 "* As far as I am concerned, do everything for the welfare, com l fort, contentment and happiness that I can do.
 Last year at Babbs I was struck by
 the humility, industry and devotion to
 duty of Will Lewis, life convict from Montgomery, who had been thirteen years in the penitentiary: took up his lease, and by a well-directed correspond ence procured him a pardon. This ne gro was buried in the penitentiary | without money or representatives. Ana | that pardon was an instance in which | the quality of mercy was no strained "The pardon of Manzy Cannon, an- other negro at Babb's, this year, l am told, rested principally upon an affidavit drawn up by and sworn to before me last year, l being Notary Public in Es- cambia And here I've encountered the charge of attending to my own business land yours, too, by, in several cases, call- ing the attention of your bureau to convicts entitled to short time whom it had overlooked, Gus Cooper, Tom Cleveland, Ben Schwartz. E. W. Young. and perhaps others, and thus having them discharged on short time. And | while try to keep everything in order and enforce discipline, nothing Is so satisfying to my heart as when week passes and there is no entry on my pun ishment record.
 1T do not like the convict business. | If were able to do so, I would write you today to send some better man in
 my place, but poverty constrains me. | Sti1l I am confident I've done as well
 here as any one else could have done The heart is the part that makes us right or wrong, and trust my desire IS ] to do always what is right"

 Tho fact that this years Togo cotton cron required the employment of $500 natives for it's cultivation and trans portation to the coast shows that the industry has a capable labor popula- tion and lt the same time, a cheap means of transport at it's command. The harvest was estimated at 1000 bales of 500 hounds each. This estimate was surpassed both in quality and quan- titv. the quality corresponding to the better American kind.
 A school has been established al Nu- atschei for the study of cotton culti- yation. II has fifty pupils. and the course of study occupies two years. The harvesting part of the course is under colored Americans. An experimental farm and purchasing station for cot ton have been established at Tove un- der the direction of missionaries, who make experiments in growing and crossing all kinds of cotton plants. Not only this, but purchasing stations have been established all along the line of the railroad. making the deliv- cry and shipment of the crop easier
 With the help of the railroads and the well planned and systematic work on the cotton farms of the Government. communal associations. and those man. aged by the missionaries. success is as- sured.
