ritory. and no people are in a more pitiable condition than those to De found in the sulphur districts, for not only is the pay small. but the sulphur ous fumes attack the various functions of the body and destroy the most act i've particles of the life's blood.
 Tt would not be proper for me to re- late to you for publication the horrlole conditions that prevailed there some years ago..
 "on January I, 1887, the stock of sulphur on hand in various sicilian ports. amounted to. in round numbers. i70, 900 tons and the price was $15 per ton; on January 1, 1892, the stock on hand was 114.OOO tons. and the price was S24.4O; and on January 1, 1896, the stock on hand was 211,000 tons, and the price was $1050. It was then that thous- ands of people were thrown out of em- ploynenti and to sustain their bodies many of them secured the fields and hedgerows for the wild fruit that grew
 "The fruit sought by them was that or the fico dIndla or Indian fig, our prick ly pear, which is said to have been carried from Virginia to the West fn- dies and from there to Spain, atter- wards being introduced into Sicily. Gull tivated. 1t grows there luxuriantly, from eight to ten feet high, producing beautiful fruit, one lobe often bear fms, as many as ten or twelve pears of different colors green, yellow, red and purple. and all more or less differently favored. The fruit Is of swedish taste, very watery and rather insipid at first, but if is exceedingly refreshing and a taste for 1t Is quickly acquired. Aside from it's fruit the plant makes an ex- cellent hedge, and Is used to prevent the washing of land. The green lobe Is fed to stock. and the dry Is used for fuel.
 But I am digressing, even in the con sideration of the unpleasant features of that man-cursed country, the God favored will unconsciously present themselves.
 "The general derangement of eco homie conditions had thrown thousands out of employment and from a condi- ton already pitiable in the extreme they were forced to one that presaged starvation. The island had recently suffered from an epidemic of cholera, the orange and lemon crisis had re- duced the usual fruit shipments, caus- ing a general profound discontent which afflicted all classes from the largest proprietors to the proletariat and which finally eliminated in demonstra- tions that savored of revolution. which required the declaration of martial law and the massing Of thousands of sol- diers to preserve order
 Tt was not anarchy or socialism that drove the people to such extremes. but rather a question of bread of hunger

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
A CURE FOR ALL.
Not a Patent Cure-aII, Nor a Modern Miracle, But simply a Rational
 Cure for Dyspepala.
In these days of humbuggery and de

In these days of humbuggery and de- ception. the manufacturers of patent medicines, as a rule, seem to think their medicines will not sell unless they claim that it will cure every disease under the sun. And they never think of leaving out dyspepsia and stomach their nostrum is absolutely certain to cure every dyspeptic and he need look no further.
 In the face of these absurd claims 1t is refreshing to note that the proprie- tors of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have carefully refrained from making any undue claims of false representations regarding the merits of this most ex- ach troubles. They make but one claim for 1t, and that Is. that for indigestion and various stomach troubles Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is radical cure. They go no further than this, and any man or woman suffering from indiges- ton. chronic or nervous dyspepsia, who will give the remedy a trial will find that nothing is claimed for 1t that the facts will not fully sustain.
 It Is a modern discovery. composed of harmless vegetable ingredients accept able to the weakest or most delecate stomach. Its great success in curing stomach troubles Is due to the fact that the medicinal properties are such that it will digest whatever wholesome food Is taken into the stomach no matter whether the stomach ig in good work worked organ and replenishes the body. the blood, the nerves, creating a healthy appetite, giving refreshing sleep and the blessings which always accompany good digestion and proper assimlla- tion of food.
 In using stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets no dieting Is required. Simply eat plenty of wholesome food and take these Tablets at each mtal, thus assist ing and resting the stomach. which rapidly regains its proper digestive power. when the Tablets will be no longer required.
 Nervous Dyspepsia is simply a condi- tion in which some portion or portions of the nervous system are not properly nourished. Good digestion invigorates the nervous system and every organ in the body.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by all druggists at 50 cts per package.

ANALOGY IS DRAWN HON. W. H. SEYMOUR TALKS ON
 COTTON SITUATION. Similarity Between Effort to Raise Staples Price and Attempt of
 SIclIians to Bull SuI-
 phuF Market.

Hon. w Fl. Seymour of Montgomery, who was Consul to Palermo under the administration of President Cleveland, sees an analogy in the present cotton situation and the conditions that exist ed in the sulphur industry of Sicily dur ing his stay there.
 In an interview yesterday MT. Sey- mour talked with interest on this sub feet.
 said MT. Seymour, between the fluctuations in the price of cotton and the price of sulphur previous to 1898. I say previous to 1896 because of the fact that in that year an organ ization was perfected looking to the control of sulphur to the end that bet ter prices, living prices might be ob- tained for 1t, the results of which have been very satisfactory.
 "As you know, barring pyrites, which come, in the main, from Spain, Sicily produces nearly all the sulphur con stunned by the world, there being, in 1897, no less than 400 distinct sulphur workings in the island and with an an- nual production of about 425,00O long tons, of which the United States took about one-third. The only other mines of any consequence being in this coun- try and in Calcasieu Parish. Louisiana.
 'Srhe different methods of extracting the sulphur. In the two countries, Is in teresting, due no doubt in a measure to the different conditions obtaining, for in Sicily sulphur is found in the vol canic districts. while in Louisiana the sulphur deposit underlies a bed of quicksand. In Sicily shafts or stair ways, hundreds of feet long, are cut, and a man digs the ore, which Is car rIed by small boys to the surface. where the sulphur Is extracted. In Louisiana a double walled iron pipe is driven through the quicksand into the sulphur bed and steam Is forced be- tween the walls of the pipe and the melted sulphur is raised in the inner pipe. But in Sicily the same form of blow is used as that used in the time of Caesar.
 Sicily has a population of about three and A half million; its area is about one-fifth of that of the State of Ala bama.
 The sulphurous fumes that emanate from the extraction of sulphur de- stroy all vegetation in the adjacent ter

NO GRAIN PLANTED.

Farmers of Bibb COunt4 Behind With
 Thelr Work.
 centerville, Jan, 31.-(Special) )-The farmers in this section are further be- hind with preparation to make crop this year than they have been for quite a number of years. Up to this lime no oats or other grain have been Bowed in Blob County. It is safe to say that the acreage of cotton this year in Bibb County will be reduced Q third.
 Aside from inconvenience the recent extremely cold weather did little dam age in this community. as no grain had been planted.
 The notorous negro criminal Sugar Foot who escaped from jail, and af- ter being sentenced to hard labor broke from the convict prison a few weeks ago. made his appearance in this community again last night. He went to Colonel Howisan's plantation on the river last night and eloped with a negro girl. He made good his es- cape carrying the girl with him.
 The County Board of Education met hera Saturday and transacted consid- erable business.

of misery.
 Such a condition as, this then could not remain long In Sicily without Q fresh outburst. But what was to be done? King Humbert had endeared himself. to his people, he had impressed them that he was imbued with the sin gle purpose of elevating their country and contributing to their welfare and happiness. They loved him, and g. love 1t was not unlike that of a son for a father. and when on that event. full day he was murdered assassinated while in the discharge of his duty, the lamentations of Italy pierced the heart of every right-thinking man in Chris tendon. Happy was the subject who could receive his Kings recognition. and which all knew could be done by doing some work, philanthropic or oth- erwise, that would contribute to the general welfare of the people and I do not doubt that 1t was this in a large measure that prompted Ignazio Florio. 4 wealthy Sictlian, a borghese. or mid de class, as distinguished from a mo- bleman on the one hand and a peasant on the other. to do something toward alleviating the distress, which he did by interesting English capitalists and the formation of a company, which is still in existence, and known as the Y. which since its formation has con trolled in a large measure, the price of sulphur. maintaining it at a price all most stable, fair and reasonable, and much above that existing at the time of it's formation.
 Tn 1895 there were 126.0 tons im- ported into the United States. It was valued at $12.50 per ton.
 Tn 1896, the year of formation of the company, 145,000 tons were imported. It was valued at $14.50 per ton.
 Tn 1897 139, 900 tons were imported It was valued at $17.5O per ton.
 T am indebted to Mir. O. c. Wiley of the Standard Chemical and Oil Co., considerable sulphur, for information to the effect that from 1898 to the present time, the price of sulphur ex- vessel Savannah, has ranged from $19.1 to $22 % per ton and that at present at is $21 25. No observation by me is necessary.
 T should have said that the forma- tion of the Anglo-SicIlian Sulphur Co. was conditioned upon a certain propor- tion, think half. of the proprietors of mines entering into an agreement or contract, all the terms of which I do not now recall. but the required num- ber did contract. the company was formed and subsequently, other propri- etors contracted. unJn my recollection is, nearly every proprietor became in | terested.
 Now, in conclusion, desire to say
