 Compared with the instruments and instructions of thls sixteenth century Colloquy. however, dentistry seems already to have reached the goal oi pafnlessness. The instruments resem- bie modern instruments only in that there are several of them respectively adapted to different purposes, the first step toward the multiplicity of delicate and carefully sharpened instruments that lie in a row on the modern dent ist's operating table. There is a chisel and mallet. two or three clumsy eleva- tors and chserful instrument called the pelican" for lifting" a tooth; two or three kinds of forceps, not for extracting teeth but for removing the roots of them; a small group of what would nowadays be called excavators for exploring a tooth in different direc tions; and rough file to sharpen them In some of these elevators one recog- nizes immediately the so-called key an instrument with which teeth were uni versally extracted one hundred years ago, which looks more like a cork screw than tooth extractor. In fact, the operators power was applied in ex- actly that fashion and the tooth was twisted rather than pulled from the jaw of the suffering patient. And to avoid the bad error of extracting the wrong tooth there was yet another in- strument with which tooth after tooth was prodded until the operator decided that he had struck the most sensitive one.
 These operations, moreover, were not performed even in a resemblance to an ancestor of the modern dentist chair In fact, 1t was not until 1728 that Perri Fouchard, the most celebrated dental operator of the time in Paris, began using the first dental chair, in which he sometimes performed the curious and practically by-gone operation of ex- tracting tooth, treating 1t for decay, and then putting 1t back again-an op- erat:on that, however expeditiously performed. could never have been in- variably successful. although 1t is still done in emergencies. One of the modern cases of the Harvard Dental School, for example, comes in this cat egory-the case of a young man who had lost tooth in a street accident The tooth was picked up, cleaned, and restored to the owners mouth where 1t resumed its former relations and has ever since done good service. But such cases are purely emergency work. and and the "transplantation n" of teeth be-

Everybody should Learn to swim.

New York Mail
 It has been said good many times before We have said 1t ourselves a number of times. We shall venture to say 1t again. Learn to swim. Any body can do it. It is a duty to others as well as to ones self to learn to swim, If one docs not know how. It Is not within the possibilities that all should become expert swimmers. But a slow and not strong swimmer may keep himself afioat a very long time by alternating methods of swimming if exhausted, by treading water and by floating. Water Is a buoyant medium. Man is well built to take advantage of the fact The inability to swim Is usually a mental or moral defect, not a physical one +.:

Heavy Docket of County Tribunal, With
 One Hundred Cnses.

Elba, July 4.-(Special. )-This morn- ing the regular semi-annual jury term of County Court convened, Judge H :. H. Blackman presiding. There are over a hundred cases on the docket. and the court bids fair to consume all the week. The court has jurisdiction of only misdemeanor criminal cases, and civil cases involving less than $500. so there are no cases of general in terest to be tried. This is the first Jury term of the court to be presided over by Judge Blackman, who was appoint ed judge to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Sanders early in the year.
 Coffee's crops are good. In some sec tions there are complaints of too much rain. but generally speaking indlca- tions point to an average crop of both cotton and corn. The farmers of the county are in good shape financially. and the towns are likewise doing well.

COTTON.

New York. Tuesday D. m., July 4.-The Liverpool market evidently regards the re- port of the Department of Agriculture upon cotton published yesterday. even more bull ishiy than America. Prices in Liverpool have today advanced some 67 points ster- ling. which is the equivalent Of 134 points in American currency, as against a net ad- vance of 100 points in the New York mar ket yesterday. My private cables advise that the unofficial market on the curb in Liverpool was still higher and that buying Europe. This foreshadows much higher prices in America. Europe consumes 60 per cent of the American cotton crop and their eagerness to buy even at the advaAce Is conclusive evidence that the controlling de mand is as yet unsatisfied. Private cables advise that very large number of spin ners are under contract for their manu- factured output as far ahead as July, 1906, and that they much concerned over the situation and will shortly become heavy and .precipitate buyers.

A NEW ORDINANCE WANTED.
Would Abate Nuisance of Stag
nant Pools on Main.

Since the recent rains there has
been a general and continuous COM
plaint regarding the stagnant pools
that have been formed along the
sides of Main street. The directors
of the Roswell Commercial Club and
nine-tenths of the business men have
joined in the protest, and they every
one favor proposed plan to remedy
the evil.

pools are formed by the horses that
are hitched to the sidewalks. They

soon sours and becomes foul smell
ing and dangerous to health. 1t is
suggested that this evil could be abol
ished by having the horses hitched
on side streets. To accomplish this
an ordinance providing for places
where and where not to hitch is all
that is necessary. Such an ordinance
would work small disadvantage en-
a few people for a time, but when
they get accustomed TO the new plac
es, the trouble would no longer be
noticeable. In fact there would be
none. Such ordinances are in effect
in great number of cities as large
and in some even smaller, than Ros-
we'll and they are found to be of
great benefit and no harm. By the re
nueSt of a great many cifizepS this

Will Not Take Up Arms.

Stockholm, Sweden, June 14-The
attitude of the labOring classes IS
likely to prove a potent factor in Ov-
grooming a possible disposition on
the part of a section of the Riksdag
to adopt coercive measures toward
Norway and influencing the chamber
in favor of accepting the dissolution
of the union of Norway and Sweden.
The Swedish labor unions are daily
telegraphing to the Norwegian unions
saying they will refuse to take up
arms, and the Social Democratic par
ty has issued a proclamation to the
working classes reading: 1T becomes
more apparent daily that the upper
classes and reactionary newspapers
are attempting to cultivate a senti
ment hostile to Norway, with a view
of calling the people to arms againsf
her in the struggle for liberty" The
proclamation says it is the firm decis
ion of the working men not to res
pond to a call to arms, and asserts
that they intend to go out on a strike
over the whole country if the Riks-
dag comes to such a decision.
