HERD OF WHALES MIXED.
Fluid Said TO BE Rich In Nutritive
and Medicinal Qualities.

Professor Muller of st. Johns, n. f.,
who was the first man to discover that
whale flesh could be prepared for eat
ing, has now succeeded in homestead
ing u herd of more than fifty sulphur
COW whales and has perfected an appa-
ratus for milking them, says dispatch
from st. Johns, n. f., to the Philadel-
phla North American.
The milk is fresh and sweet and pc
culiarly rich in nutritlve and medicinal
qualities. The yield from full grown
whale is from five to seven hogsheads
a day. 1t is much thicker and richer
than the best cows milk and possesses
q peculiarly pleasant and distinctive
flavor, which those who have tasted 1t
pronounce superior to any known milk.
Chemical analysis has shown that the
milk Of the sulphur whale is rich in
those products which give to cod liver
oil it's value as remedial food.
Professor Muller has invented and
patented a process for making leather
from the internal membranes Of the
whale. When tanned and finished 1t Is
Of great durability and fine texture.
Besides it's superior quality the whale
leather furnishes single pieces of much
greater dimensions than it is possible
to procure from any other animal. 1t is
possible. according to the inventor, to
obtain from the skin of a full grown
sulphur whale strip Of leather about
800 feet In length and three and
half feet in breadth. From the pleu-
raj lining a tube Of leather twenty-five
feet in diameter can be obtained.

This is no longer true today. The
liner goes straight ahead in defiance
of wind and wave. The ports between
which she plies are industrial or com

The ocean highways are, therefore,
ANYTHING but numerous. The most
freouented of oceans is the Atlantic.

mored that Intoxicating liquors are
being illegally sold in the town and
district of Shellman, Ga, and where
as, it is not only violation of law,
but a nuisance TIC the town and county,
therefore be it resolved:
/. That we, the citizens of the town
and district of Shellman, on this the
23rd day of October, 1905, in mass
meeting assembled, do hereby offer
reward of S25 to any person or persons
who will detect and produce sufficient

liquors in the bounds of the Shellman
district; tie reward to be given to
the aforesaid party or parties when

,. That this resolution shall not
apply to the past, but shall take effect
from henceforth and from this hour.
3. That we request the other dis
tricts Of Randolph county to take sim
liar steps at once for the suppression
of blind tigers in the county"

LIQUID THAT DEFIEs TIME.
The Remarkable Discovery of a
Hungarian Chemist.


The Hungarian chemist Brunn says
he has discovered a liquid che ical
compound which renders certain kinds
of matter proof against the effects of

density of nearly every kind of stone
and renders it waterproof. 1t imparts
to all metals qualities which defy
oxygen and rust. 1t is also a germi-

DON'T LOAN YOUR COTTON
SAYS THE PRESIDENT OF THE
COTTON ASSOCIATION.
Charges That All Sorts of Schemes
Are Being Used to Get Staple
Out of the Hand of Farmers

Hon. Harvie Jordan, president of
the Southern Cotton Association, has
given out an interview in which he
urges the farmers of the south to hold
their cotton for IL cents, and cautions
them against loaning out their cotton
to the mills. He says:
Farmers and merchants of the
south are warned against cotton buy
ers who are now busy at many inte-
rior points trying to induce spot hold
ers to sell them their cotton at mar
ket prices and agreeing to pay any
additional advance that may accrue
within the next sixty or ninety days.
If you deliver up your cotton on that
basis and the buyers get enough of the
staple in their hands to fill their Or
ders there is but little chance for the
market to advance. The only way to
force an advance quickly is to refuse
to part with the cotton until satsfac-
tory prices are offered. No middling
CObbOn oIlOOlN OC OOAo dV LAbCLIOI
points for less than II cents per pound.
The crop is short and all who hold
will be rewarded as they shouldbe.
again, don't lend your cotton to
local mills on the promise of settle
ment at any time within the next few
months. With the staple in the hands
of the spinners prices can never adj
vance.
"Again, notify warehousemen to
whom you ship your cotton for storage
that under no circumstances must
your cotton be loaned until you are
ready to sell it. All kinds of tricks
and devices are being resorted to now
by the buyers and spinners to induce
farmers to part with their cotton.
Every man who is led into any of
these trades is unwittingly playing
into the hands of the buyers and
against his own interest and that of
his neighbor."
