ing the Damn dog. Close behind came
Mrs. Damn and following Mrs. Damn
were the four Damn children.
Damn placed the dog on the bridge be-
tween his feet and caught it amidships
with his ankles. Thus placed it blocked
the whole runaway and policemen made
him place it diagonally so they could pass
backward and forward in front of the
bench.
Mrs. Damn told her story. 1t was all
on account of the dog, she said. Herman
in the kindness>of his heart, brought the
dachshund home Saturday night, although
there is barely room at the Damn fiat al

said his wife did it with tea kettle.
One of the Damn children began to

REV. J. B. HOLLY CALLED.
Bambers Minister to Succeed Rev. O. P. Gilbert
at the Second Baptist Church.

Rev. ]. B. Holly, of Bamberg, S. c., was
last night unanimously called by the Sec
ond Baptist church to fill the vacancy in
it's pastorate caused by the resignation of
Rev O. P. Gilbert, who left September
1st to take charge of the First Baptist
church at Americas, Ga.
Since the resignation of Mr.. Gilbert the
officials of the church have been quietly
seeking worthy successor to the former
pastor and one who would be entirely
satisfactory to the people. They have
been very deliberate about the matter,
considering the names of many good men
but the many fattering reports about MIR.
Holly finally led them to invite him to
make them visit and preach for them.
The gentleman from Bamberg came to
the city last Sunday and delivered two
able and eloquent sermons. So favorable
was the impression created on the con-
gregation by him and his wife, who is
pronounced most charming woman, that
at the conference called last night especi-
ally for that purpose, he was unanimous
ly and enthusiastically named as pastor
of the church.
It was practically certain beforehand
that Mr.. Holly would accept the nomlna-
ton which would be rendered him and he
will come to this city as soon as he can
arrange his affairs at Bamberg, although
so great is his popularity with his present
charge that they have steadfastly declared
they will not give him up.
Mr.. Holly is still young man although
he is married and has family. Already
bo ie knoun as one of the stronp pest and
most consecrated young ministers of the
Baptist church in. South Carolina. He
has been connected with number of re-
ligious periodicals, having formerly edited
Baptist paper in Jacksonville, Fla. He
is college graduate and man of wide
information, as we'll as an able pulpit
orator. The people of the Second Baptist
church are congratulating themselves on
having secured his services.-Augusta

Resolved to Stand by the National Associa.
ton and Hold Their Cotton for u Cents.

timely advice. He urged the necessity Of
thorough organization and keeping poll
tics out of the organization. That discus
sions be confined strictly to agricultural
affairs and the sale of the products of agri-
culture, the necessity of each member
contributing, for the support of the organ
ization, in proportion to his production OF
cotton, that the organization is absolutely
necessary for the continuance of prosper
ity, that the association should help to
extend the trade in cotton goods, that all
growers should hold all cotton, after
meeting the most urgent obligations, for
II cents.
On motion of Hon. J. B. Guess it was

that all members should pay % cents in.
itiation fee and cents per bale on every.
bale produced, and that all subordinate
associations are to meet once month

An editor gives this definition Of house
party: "a place where the girls stay up
all night and sleep all day; where the
mother works all day and all night; and
where the father hides in corner, foots
the bills and cusses."
Two powerful arguments in behalf OF
the effectiveness classified liners have
blown in from the West. A farmer lost
a cow and advertised for it. Three days
later the COW was found in haystack
dead. The editor says it takes power.
full ad to locate cow in haystack after
the animal has been dead three days. The
second case is even more astonishing. A

MONKEY HEART FOR MAN.
Chicaso Professor Thinks Substitution May be
Made,

A Chicago dispatch to the New lork
Herald says: Experiments which may
result in knowledge permitting grating
of the heart of one animal upon another
have been made by Dr.. Gutherie and Dr.
Carrell, of the University OF Chicago
Hearts of dogs have been successfully
moved up into the animals necks and
there performed their functions.
Circulation of the blood in dogs has
been reversed without killing the animal
and many new things about heart action
have been learned, according to DR.. Car
rell, who will begin new experiments ear
ly in October.
"What we have learned" said DR.. Car
rell, "gives US hope that some day we may
replace wounded or worn out heart in
a human being with healthy, youthful and
strong one from living monkey"
In his laboratory DR.. Carrell has
switched the circulation of his dogs some
arteries leaving them dry for time, thus
opening possibilities for new methods of
surgery in cases of violent injuries. One
of the dogs selected for experimenting
was lacking in the usual amount of hair.
His circulation was switched to cure a
goitre with success, and, according to DR..
Carrell, hair began to grow in places ap-
parently bald.
In another experiment the surgeon
sawed off a dogs leg and then grated it
on again without doing the animal perma-
nent injury.
Dr.. Carrell was formerly a surgeon in
the French army and is at the University
of Chicago only to conduct his expert
ments.
"This work is only in its infancy" he
said. 81 expect it will be carried on by
others, until finally it will be of great and
lasting benefit to mankind"

four daughters. Can you hypnotise
