their cotton for ten cents. They are
able to keep it off the market and it is
surprising how they are doing so. Only
a very small per cent. of the crop is
being offered.
Rev. Walker of Macon, Ca, is con-

place. Large congregations are in reg

good preaching.

Mr.. E. S. Whitaker is opening up a

New York, Oct. 13.-What is regard
ed as the most significant conference
held during Judge Parker's last VISIT
to New York, was hat with Senator
German Of Maryland today. 1t became
known that the candidate n the Sell
ator are in thorough accord regarding
the conduct Of the campaign and that
everything that has been done is re-
garded by both as tending toward sue
cess. Fluctuations were exchanged
over the successful efforts that nave
been made to harmonize all leaders
and factions in the party, and the fact
that nearly four weeks before the cleo
ton. all Democrats and factions were
working together was regarded, they
declared, as reaso for qualification.
The work of h campaign, it is now
understood, is to be pushed with undi-
minished vigor and the closing weeks
are to equal all past campaigns in the
matter of speaking, professions AMI
meetings which will arouse voters.
Judge Parker today made his
first visit to the headquarters
Of the Democratic national COM
mittee. He surprised his political
manag gers who had received no intima-
ton of his intention to visit them.
Judge Parker had left his apartments
at the Hotel Seville with the purpose
of taking a little morning recreation
and finding himself near the headqudr-
tiers, he decided to make an inspection
Of the rooms. He found all the man
ayers at their decks except william F.
Sheehan, chairman of the executive
committee. Judge Parker passed
through all the rooms and spent some
time conversing with Colonel John l..
Martin, sergeant-at-arms; Delaney
Nicoll, vice president of the national
committee, and National Chairman
Taggart. Mr.. Sheehan came in JUS
as Judge Parker was leaving headquaT-
tiers. The campaign managers held a
conference Immediately after Judge
Parker's departure.
During his visit to headquarters,
Judge Parker pleasantly remarked:
It scarcely expected to see every
body hard at work So early in tbs
morning. 1t looks good and is ve:y
encouraging
"Oh," said Chairman Taggart," you
always find us hard at work. Judge.
We are all interested in doing every
thing possible for your election
Sometime later when asked if there
was any news today, Chairman Tag
CART replied:
1--WE have had g. visit from the next
President, which is about the most in
teresting thing I know about"
Judge Parker's callers included Gen.
eral Nelson A. Miles and J. Taylor Ell
Tyson n William E. Harris, of Vir-
ginia.
Judge Parker returned to Esopus
this evening. He expects to come to
New York again next Tuesday.

mingtOn.
1T happiest man in New England
to-day and one who is receiving con
CALCULATIONS from his friends, is DR..
Phillip z. Hart, OF Laconia, n. H.
Probably no physician is better
known in all parts of the United
States than DR.. Hart. as he has been b
lgreat traveller and knows the best peo-
lple wherever he has been. For years
lhe has suffered with catarrh in it's
worst form.
Although he resorted to the latest
scientific treatment, and consulted
many Of his brother physicians, DR..
Hart finally said, II might as we'll
have thrown my money in the river
for 1 grew worse and worse. 1t is
really due to my wife's good judg-
|ment that I tried Hyomei." The Doc
tor, in his emphatic way added THANK
lGod that I did. for Hyomei cured me
completely. MY wife and I will YEA
that Hyomei cured me of the worst
leases of catarrh that ever existed. I
used to cough constantly at night, and
ihad a dropping in the throat, which
kept me awake a great deal. I raised
thick phegm and was in a horrible
lcondition. However, I am entirely
lcured. solely through the use Of Hyo-
mel" r.. r. Bellamy is the local
lagent for Hyomei, the famous treat
ment which cures catarrh without
stomach dosing. A complete outfit
costs but s1.00, extra bottles, so. He
sells it under guarantee to refund the
money if it does not give quick relief.
Ask him to show you the strong guar
lantee under which it is sold.
