KNOCKOUT BLOW.
Nearly One Hundred Points
Decline
MARK COURSE OF THE MARKET
Spot Cotton is Now Four Dollars Per
Bale Off Value From Recent High

Besides shooting Jap, somebody e
fuzee must have winged bunch OF
Chinese and few Dutch as well yester-
day, if one is to Judge events in the East
by the course of the cotton market. A
fish hook with sinker to it could not
hit bottom quicker than the market.
Four cents pound, or $40 per bale
is the total loss recently sustained.
And of this shrinkage nearly one
hundred points was cut off yesterday,
May contracts tumbling from 13 rs, the
opening figure. down to II 81 where
she stopped at the close to catch her
breath
Americus cotton men would not be
surprised to see a still further shaking
out of horns and hoofs, now that the
bears seem to be in complete control,
and drop to II cents for spot cotton
is among the possibilities.
Two weeks ago middIing cotton
brought 164 cents in Americus, and
even this fancy price was refused by
several farmers, much to their regret
now. Yesterday about the best offer
ing for middlings was 13 cents. This
is net loss of 800 per bale within that
very brief period.
This landslide of prices has caused
the exercise of grsat caution IN the
market, and plungers in Americus are
letting the bull side alone.

Men ana Animals In water.


The animal has no advantage in any
way in water over man, and yet the
man browns, while the animal swims
The dog, the horse, the cow and evex
the cat all take to the water and are
able to walk as they do when out OF
water. Throw a dog into the stream,
and at once he begins to walk just as
he does on dry land. Why should a
man, woman or child act differently un-
der like circumstances?
1t seems strange that people have to
be told to do what the animals do in
stinctively and instantly. Mans igno-
rance Of so simple a thing as treadtng
water is remarkable. 1t is without rea-
son or excuse. There is a popular no.
ton a1oat that in some way the dog
and other animals have an advantage
over man in water Nothing could be
further from the truth. The advantage
lies with man, who is provided with a
paddle formed hand and knows enough
to float when tired, something the ami
NAL rarely or never does.

eases of The respiratory organs. It is
the only natural treatment for the cure
of these troubles
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit.
the air that passes into the throat and

ing and health giving balsams. It
searches out and kills disease germs in
the most remote and minute air cells
of the head, throat and lungs, it
soothes and heals all irritation of the
mucous membrane.
Hyomei is pprescribed by physicians
generally. Many of them use 1t them
selves to break up cold and prevent
pneumonia.
The complete Hyomei outfit consists
of neat inhaler, that is SO small and
convenient that 1t can be carried in
the pocket or purse, a medicine drop
per and bottle of Hyomei. This costs
but 81, and it will cure any ordinary
case of catarrh. In chronic and deep
seated conditions, longer use is neces-
rary and extra bottles of Hyomei can
be obtained for 50c., making it most
economical treatment for this disease,
Dodson's Pharmacy has so much
confidence in the power of Hyomei to
cure catarrh and other diseases of the
throat and lungs that they sell it under
their personal guarantee to refund the
money to any purchaser IN case it fails
to give satisfaction. They take all the
risk themselves, and and Hyomei costs

1t is curious to note in the history
of the gulf stream how great it's infu-
ence has been on the fortunes of the
new world Before the discovery of
America strange woods and fruits
were frequently found on the shores of
Europe and off lying islands. Some of
these were seen and examined by Co
lumbus, and to his thoughtful mind
they were confirming evidence of the
fact that strange lands were not far
to the westward. These woods were
carried by the gulf stream and by the
prevailing winds from the American
continent, so that in part the gulf
stream is responsible for the discovery
of the new world.
