Attend To This Now.

Have you seen Sans & Brokers
big line of Monuments? If not, it
will be well worth your while to stop
and look them over. In the past two
weeks we have sold great many
monuments. Those who have
bought will cheerfuily tell you it is
better to go direct to a factory, where
over 200 fine monuments are to be

buy from a picture, or in other words,
from man who carries his marble
shop in a satchel.
Those men will tell you anything,
in order to get your order; will say
they are 'owners of quaries, and get
their goods in train loads, etc." Be
careful and do not get caught up by
such talk. Simply come to our place
of business and pick out from our big
assortment a monument that will suit
you, aud save the agents 20 per cent,
commission. By SO doing you see
what you are buying, and save the

THE TEXAS COTTON OUTLOOK.
This Years Yield Cannot Be More
Than 80 Per Cent of Last Years.

This Years Yield Cannot Be More
Than so Per Cent of Last Years.
The local papers of Texas, without
exception, confirm the reports Of an
exceedingly short cotton acreage in
the state that has the greatest infu-
ence upon southern cotton production.
The planting season in Texas has
been characterized by almost contin-
uous rainfall, preventing the planting
of very much cotton seed that would
otherwise have gone into the ground.
The Houston Chronicle, which has
made special effort through an eX-
tenSive system of correspondence to
ascertain the extent of the short cot
ton acreage in Texas, is convinced
that this seasons yield, under the
most favorable growing conditions
from now on, cannot reach more than
so per cent of that of last season.
The Chronicle says:
Though it is now past the middle of
May, and cotton is frequently ready
for the picker by July l, there is not
stalk of cotton between NavasOta
and Denison as high as mans hand,
and many thousands of acres on which
cotton grew last year, and which were
intended for cotton this year, have
not been planted, and rarely has there
been so disastrous spring.
The wisest man is he who never pre-
diets cotton prices, yet unless there
should be most favorable conditions
for the next two months it will be i'm
possible to grow much more than half
the crop of 1904
These are cold facts, patent to every
man who has observed conditions for
himself, as a representative of this
paper has done, but of course side
walk brokers and gamblers on wind
in New York will not believe them.

BIBLES IN HOTELS.
Movement to Put One in Every Sleep
ing Room Throughout Country.

ing Room Throughout Country
Rev. H. M. Warren, a New York
preacher, is at the head of move
ment for putting a bible into every
sleeping room of every hotel through
out the country. 1t is proposed to be-
gin with the hotels of New York,
where religious study is apparently
sadly needed, and gradually extend
the field. Mr.. Warren is confident
that he can place the books if he can
only get together sufficient sum to
pay for them.
Some twenty-five or thirty years ago
there was a somewhat similar move
ment. Persons old enough to recall
railway travel that far back will re-
member that in every passenger car
there was tackled on the wall little
iron case in which there rested copy
of the Holy Scriptures, and at pretty
nearly every hotel at which one might
stop there was to be found on the CEN
ter table in the parlor one or more
copies of the Bible. 1t is unlikely that
at that time the promoters of the
scheme had money enough to put the
books in great many hotel sleeping
rooms, but they were in the parlors
and on the cars practically through
out the country. And there were evil
dences that a great many persons read
them. They were we'll thumbed, and
in great many instances dirty which
circumstances must be counted rather
gratifying than otherwise.
it seems that Rev. Mr.. Warren S
suggestion is a good one, though we
cannot account for the dropping of
the scheme of twenty-five years ago.

100000 GLASSES OF BEER.
The Present Handed a Pennsylvania
Man by Rich Brewer.
From the PhiIadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Perhaps the most envied man in
western Pennsylvania today is Con-
stable John Bertges of Alderman
Stork' Office. The constable, having
done some slight favor for Anton
Lutz, the millionaire brewer, and hav-
ing refused cash payment, has just
received an order for one million
glasses of beer. The order is not
transferable, nor can Bertges collect
in bulk, the agreement being that he
shall call at the different breweries
controlled by Lutz as he becomes
thirsty and drink the beer on the prem
iSes.
Bertges spent most of today seeing
if the order was good. 1t was. To-
night he did a little figuring, and is
now sore that life is so short. His
figures show that drinking fourteen
glasses a day, Sundays included, it
would take him POS years to get rid OF
the little present handed him by the

A TID-BIT FOR SCIENTISTS.
Skeleton of Prehistoric PennsyIvan-
ian Found Beneath Coal Deposits.


ian Found Beneath Coal Deposits.
Digging hundreds of feet below the
surface of the earth in Pennsylvania
coal mine one day recently a miner
came upon what has been declared the
well-preserved skeleton of a man. Ii
was under deposit of anthracite coal.
The bones were fossilized, but were so
perfect that they are to be articulated
and sent TO a prominent museum.
This find will prove of deep interest
to scientists, and we may expect to
have some very learned, and very dry,
papers from them based on the pre-
historic Pennsylvania. If the remains
were below the coal deposits, as has
been asserted, that would tend to show
that mankind inhabited the earth
while the coal deposits were in process
of formation. How long ago that era
was is matter of conjecture, but
some of the leading biologists place
it at millions of years; and if men
lived on the earth millions of years
ago and the fact can be proved by the
remains of the defunct Pennsylvania,
who never lived to know Quay and
Pennypacker-how great his loss =
then it would appear that science and
religion have another difference be-
tween themselves that needs to be adj

Ruined 10y the Storm. Fences
and Bridges Broken Down.
Visitors in Savannah, says the
Morning News, report heavy hail
and wind storm in Tatnall county
which has practically caused total
loss of all crops within a certain area.
The loss cannot be estimated, and so
far only one fatality is known to have
resulted.
Mr.. G. G. Pippins of Claxton re-
lated an unusual story of the disaster
which had visited the county.
The devastated district, according
to Mr.. Pippins, extended in the area
between Reidsville, Collins, OhoOpee
and as far north as Clinch. Within
this district there is little left of grow
ing crops or vegetables of any kind,
whole fields of cotton and corn being
razed, and houses, fences and bridges
broken down, with great loss to stoc k
and the loss of one life.
Several Inches OF Ice.
The hail storm started about )
o'clock and continued for about an
half hour. SO heavy was the fall that
several inches covered the ground
when the wind and fall of frozen rain
finally subsidized.
Mr.. Pippins said it would be impos-
siDle to estimate the loss to the resi-
dents within this district, but that it
would necessitate the replanting of
such crops as could be made protita-
bic at this late season, and that some
Of the smaller planters were totally
ruined by the storm. He said he had
heard that a negro man was killed at

DOG HELD FOR COST.
A Columbus Officer Has a Canine
on His Hands.

A Columbus bailiff is holding fox
cared shepherd dog for the purpose
of making justice court cost. 1t
seems the owner of the canine swore
out possessory warrant to get pos
session of the dog that had been lille
gally spirited away by another citizen.
Getting his paws on the dog, however.
before court convened, neither the
plaintiff or defendant appeared in
court to show the wherefores and
whereofs, and as a result the bailiff
has seized the canine with view of
making the cost. In the meantime, the
plaintiff is consoling himself with the
idea that while the dog is being led
around by the bailiff the bailiff
will have to feed and take care of it.
Besides, he gets some benefit out of
the novelty of the thing.

FOR
THE THIRD TIME

st. Louis, Mo-. Nov. 10.-Unitea
States Senator J. Ralph Burton, OF
Kansas, was indicted by special
federal grand jury late this afternoon
The indictment contains eight counts
and was returned at 4:30 O'Clock after
several hours deliberation on the part
of the jurors who had been brought
together by Judge Vandeventer, of
Cheyenne, twice TOR the especial pur.
pose OF considering the charges
against Senator Burton.
Senator Burton was not in the court
room when the indictment was re.
turned, although he Is In the city.
His attorneys notified the court that
row morning and give bond for his ap-
pearance at such q date as the court
may see fit to set his case-an ar
'rangement which was agreeable to
Judge Vandeventer.
This is the third time that Senator
Burton has been indicted for his con-
nections with the Rialto Grain G. Sc.
curities Co. The principal charge Is
that he accepted money and agreed
to accept money from the company for
representing 1t before the United
States postofiice department while he
was serving in the senate. which is q
violation or the federal law. On the
first indictment he was tired and con-
victed and sentenced to serve six
months in the Ironton, Mo-, Jail and
to pay fine, but the case was re-
versed by the United States circuit
court of appeals. He was re-indicted
and the case came up for trial in St.
Louis few weeks ago before Judge
Willis Vandeventer. of Cheyenne
Wyo., who quashed the indictment be.
cause 1t was defective.
Since Burton's first indictment he
has taken no part in the deliberations
of the United StateG senate. He has
avoided the senate chamber, although
he has spent considerable time in the
committee rooms In which he has an
interest, Suggestions from prominent
Kansas politicians that he resign his
seat have been ignored by Mr.. Burton.
II has even been intimated that the
prosecution would be dropped should
Mr.. Burton see f1t to retire Senator
Burton has refused to considerSsuch .
proposition. contending that thor.
ough investigation would exonerate
him from all blame.
