ChambsrIaln's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain Is
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
cold and grip effecGually and perma>
nently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also certain cure for Group. Whoop-
ing cough is not dangerous when this
remedy is given. 1t contains no opium
or other harmful substance, and may
be given as confidently to baby as an
adult. 1t is also pleasant to take.
When all these facts are taken into
consideration it is not surprising that
people in foreign lands as we'll as at
home esteem this remedy very highly,
and very few are willing to take any
other after having once used it. For

WOTIO'S E'dIA AA d. AOS'AS
W. 6. Sutlive, writing to the Savan'

incident:
1.-THE Statesboro incident had its et-

with one lady who came to view the
Georgia exhibit. She stood under the
representation of the coat OF arms
which surmounts the exhibit, and, IN
a scornful and disdainful manner, re-
marked so that Mr.. Martin could hear
her:

is where thew burn them to protect
our women. If you come to Georgla
you will find that women there are al
ways given protection, no matter al
what cost

home, and the visitor gathered W
some Georgia literature to study more
about the state"

SHEPPARD UP FOR LIFE.
Found Guilty of Murder of Joe
Phillips in Webster County.

In Webster superior court at Pres
ton last week Bill Sheppard, the negro
who killed Joe Phillips at camp
meeting two months ago, was tried.
The case consumed the entire day, the
jury returning verdicto of guilty, with
recommendation of sentence TO life
imprisonment.
In his statement Sheppard stuck to
his former statement that w. 5.
Morgan, one of the men charged with
burning the town of Preston, hired
him to kill Phillips.
All the trouble originated in the
burning of the town of Preston in
April last. Morgan and relative
are charged with the incendiarism,
and the negro murdered by Sheppard
was an important witness against the
accused parties.

TWO DRY WELL ORDINANCES
COUNCIL TAKES STEPS TO PROTECT
HEALTH OF THE CITY.
Aldermen DeubIer and Raines Introduce
Measures Against CesspooIs. One
will Pass at Next Meeting.

The recent communication of ex-
Mayor j. w. F. Lowrey in The News
calling attention to the existence OF
"dry wells" In Dawson, accompanied
by certificate signed by nearly every
physician of the city that the public
health was greatly jeopardized by
these receptables of filth, awakened
the people to the threatened danger
and caused the council to take cogni'
zance of the situation.
At the recent meeting OF the council
both Alderman Raines and Alderman
Deubler offered an ordinance prohibit
ing the further construction of these
wells in the city and the use OF those
already in existence. Under the rules
OF. the council an ordinance has to be
read twice in open meeting before 1t
can be placed upon its passage and
no action was therefore taken. There
was no evidence of opposition to ar
ordinance similar to the ones offered,
and at the next meeting Of the munic-
ipal fathers it is believed the following
will be read and incorporated in the
city laws without Opposltion:
Getty ORDINANCE. Sec. /. Be 1t
ordained by the mayor and councilmen
of the city of Dawson, and it is hereby
ordained by authority of the same,
That from and after the passage of
this ordinance it shall be unlawful for
any person to dig, use or maintain
within the corporate limits of the city
of Dawson ''drv we'll" for the recep-
tion of filth, garbage or excrement of
any kind. Any person so doing shall
be punished as prescribed in section
1856 of the code of the city of Dawson.
"Sec. 2. All laws and parts of laws
in conflict with the above are hereby
repealed"
In the meantime, it is very likely
that no more of these wells will be dug
in the city.

u ,,.ion If cotton to be rated at 80 per

Soanonding time last year.
Il Tbia report also covers the casual

u,oioture. wilt, black root, cotton cat
ernillar and boil worm. ;,
In a like manner the condition OF all
tho crops is recorded, and in each in
s Wv the percentage is from 10 to 20
T S"ints higher than IN 1903. This re-
p por will be made by Commissioner
S S to the convention of agricult-
nrsI commissioners, which meets in
\ Patton Rouge, La, tomorrow.
At this meeting the output OF the
. cotton crop of the cotton growing
states is generally announced. Each
commissioner makes a careful estimate
+ of the crop in his own state, and when
the meeting is held these figures are
given out.
The estimate OF the convention last
wear was almost correct to the bale,
and this wear it is expected that equal
4 " as correct figures will be given.
Commissioner Stevens was the or
4 Canizer of the convention, and for two
wears was its president. From small
organization it has grown to be very
powertul factor in the cotton growing
states, and it's estimates of the cotton
CROP are looked forward to with great
interest by the buyers in all sections.
Commissioner Stevens is of the
opiuion, however, that the price OF
cotton will remain around ten cents a
pound. He says the price is little off
now, but this he attributes TO the fact
that the mills all over the country
have a good supply of the fieecy staple
on hand at present. A little later on,
in the opinion of MIR. Stevens, the
price will rise, as the mills will need
more cotton, and will be willing to pay
more for it.
