Orion, pathologist in the Agricultural
Department at Washington, spent yes
terday here arranging the details for
beginning work in the effort to discov-
er remedy for the diseases of sea
island cotton.
In addition to his scientific attain
ments Mr.. orion is also an experienced
agriculturist, and has had several
years of successful experience in a
similar work on the South Carolina
islands, where he produced a strain of
cotton that is self-resistant to the
principal ills of the plant. The seed
of this cotton-the Rivers cotton-is
distributed to a limited extent by the
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton, and wherever planted has been
found less subject to disease than the
kinds in general cultivation.
In his work here Mr.. orion will seek
not only to produce cotton resistant
to the diseases that commonly attack
the plant, but to discover the most

MAKE PEACE WITH
YOUR STOMACH.
You Are Certain to Lose if You At
tempt the Use of Force and
Violence

You cannot force your stomach to
do work that it is unable and unwil-
ling to do. 1t has been tried time and
time again with always the same re-
suit The stomach is a good and
faithful servant; but when pushed
beyond the limit it rebels. Some
stomachs will stand much more abuse
than others, but every stomach has
its limit; and when that limit is
reached, it is very dangerous and
unWise proceeding to attempt to force
ii into doing further work. The SEN
sihle and reasonable course is to en-
ploy {, substitute to carry on the work
OF digestion and give the stomach an
opportunity to recuperate ana regain
it's lost strength.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
only perfect substitute to take up and
carry on the work of tired, WORKOUT
stomachs. They are natural and easy
in their work and cause no disturb
ance in the digestive organs. They
contain all of the essential elements
that make up the gastric juice and
other digestive fluids and will digest
any food that strong, healthy stom-
ach will. and do it in the same time
and in the same way. They work in
dependently of surrounding conditions
and the fact that the stomach is weak
or diseased does not influence them
at all in their useful and effective
work. They will digest food just as
well IN a glass jar or bottle as they
will in a stomach. You can see that
for yourself by putting one of them
into "A jar with a square meal and
some water to enable it to work.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets by thus
relieving the stomach of its work en-
ables that organ to rest and recuper-
ate and regain it's health and strength.
The process is perfectly natural and
plain. Nature will heal the stomach,
just as she heals a wound or a broken
limb, if she is not interfered with and
is permitted to do her work in her
own way All interference is prevent
ed by STARTS Dyspepsia Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
cents box, and if you are afflicted
with dyspepsia, one box will make you
feel fifty times better. You will forget
you have a stomach and rejoice in the
fOrgetfulness. No druggist will be so
short sighted as to try to get along
without Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
for they are so popular and are so
well known for the good they have
done and the happiness they have
caused that any druggist caught with
out them would lose the confidence of
his customers and be regarded as be-
low the standard. His business would
suffer as result and his patrons
would go to other stores and buy their
other drugs there as we'll as their

Winter House Plants.
From Harper's Bazaar.

With a smattering of floral knowl-
edge, most people feel that without a
south window and a deluge of sun
light it is impossible to grow plants
with any degree of success. Expert
enced growers will not agree to this
for while they will admit that the light
and sun through a south window are
very desirable, they are quite willing
to place their floral favorites in any
available window, provided there is a
fair amount of light obtainable. 1t is
POSSIBLE to do without sunshine for a
long time in the plant window. but a
good supply of clear daylight is es-

Lee county, which resulted in an ap-
parent majority of seven in favor of
prohibition, has been finally declared
null and void by Judge Wall. A con-
test of the election was instituted by

others. Mandamus proceedings were
first instituted and then action was
brought in chancery to annul the
election, on many grounds of alleged
irregularity and illegality. The de-
cision leaves Lee county wet and pre-
vents another local option election for
term of years.

Mcdonald at Mascotte was broken into
by the rear door. The safe was dyna-
mited, and checks and postofice
money to the amount of about 5000
were stolen. The same night the col

Mr. Sanders, a white man in buttons
employ, tried to quiet the men, A
darky from E. E. Edges still had come
to the dance looking for trouble, and
after the row had started Sanders or
dered him to clear out. The negro
started, but shot twice at Sanders be-
fore he left the house. The ready gun
of Sanders, however, laid the negro on
the sand dead. A coroners inquest
was held, and the verdict was that
Sanders acted in self defense.

COTTON WAS SAVED.

The quick work of Chief Reynolds
and his men was all that saved Au-
gusta from serious cotton fire Tues
day night. AS it was, about fifteen
bales of cotton, which were temporarl E
ly stored on the open platform along
the river front of the Union Compress
Company, were more or less damaged.
When discovered the fire had a good
start, and as there are in the neigh
borhood of two thousand bales of the
lleecy staple on the platform, there was
ample opportunity for it to have spread
under the proper conditions or ineffec-
tual fire lighting.
