AN EPISODE.

 There was a bright moon shining down on Santander that night. It showed some fine buildings and some lofty towers. and 1t also showed some narrow streets filled with tainted air and defiIed with dirty gutters. The great square tower on the church on the corner lay its square shadow di- rectly across the calle which Cap tain Davies was traversing on his way to his ship. and he looked back at 1t. Looks like a black stream across the street." he muttered. He turned down towards the quay and then all the church bells in Santander began to ring the midnight hour. On the right of the entrance to the quay was a large harrack shaped building, and on the left a two-story warehouse painted white. The shadow of this warehouse filled the passageway, naturally dark even at monday, and. as the Captain entered the gloom, his quick ear caught a step, more of a sliding shuttle than a step. perhaps, and his equally quick eyes marked two forms rapidly ap- preaching up the passageway. Captain Davies had had his share of narrow escapes In this world. and he trusted no one. and especially was he mis- trustful when the moon. just before one of the figures entered the shadow, had glinted on steel. The Captain walked steadily In the middle of the roadway. and just as he met the two fgures one of them made quick lunge at him. Then the strong right arm of the skipperZits foundation was start ed on good Sussex bacon and finished by hauling on braces and down hauls- shot out like a piston rod of an en- zine King Richard of the mighty arm could have struck no fairer blow, anw with a broken jaw the man fell

MIR. SEYMOURGRA
PRESIDENT OF COTTON AssOCIA-
 TION PLEASED WITH OUTLOOK.
Plans Already Under Way to Bring Out Improvement in Condition of the Farmers of
 Alabama.

President W. H. Seymour of the Ala bama Cotton Association yesterday ex- pressed eradication over the great success of the State convention of cotton growers Tuesday.
 The president, by invitation of Com missioner of Agriculture R. R. Poole. has established his office in that of the Commissioner at the Capitol. There he will make it convenient to asso- ciate with Secretary Jesse c. Adams of the State Association, who is chief clerk to the Commissioner.
 President Seymour will begin short ly to send out some literature to the sixty-seven county organizations throughout the State. The literature is expected to reach Montgomery from the headquarters of the Southern Cot ton Association today or tomorrow.
 The success of the delegates yes terday in perfe sting a valuable State organization was far beyond my expec- tatiohs." said President Seymour The men who were here were earnest and enthusiastic in the single aim of doing everything in their power for cotton. .=.t==
 The fact that some counties did not send delegates can be easily explain ed when you ;ecall the extremely bad weather that prevailed during the So"H1y anu oSdL meetings rnfS month over In the county of Sumter 1t was practically impossible to hold any meetings.
 During the severest weather the farmers were completely cut off from many county seats by swollen streams The ice and slush were not calculate to bring the farmers out"
 The Executive Committee of the State Association will shortly proceed to. arrange for borrowing $500 to cover the expense of the organization ourlng the next thirty days. The amount will be repaid out of the first moneys that come to the treasurer from the county assessments.

white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from opera tions made necessary by negl. t.
 Every one of these patients had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at the left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion. pain in the small of the back, leucorrhea, dizzi- ness, fiatulency. displacements of the womb or Irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an un- healthy condition of the ovaries or womb, and if not needed the trouble will make headway until the penalty has to be paid by 8 dangerous opera tion, and lifetime of impaired useful ness at best, while in many eases the results are fatal.
 The following letter should bring hope to suffering women Miss Luella Adams, of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattles Wash, writes;
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham.-
 ''About two years ago was great suf- ferer from a severe female trouble, pains and headaches The doctor prescribed for me and finally told me that had tumor on the womb and must undergo an operation if death warrant, but spent hundreds of dol- lars for medical help, but the tumor kept growing Fortunately corresponded with an aunt in the New England States, and she advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound, as 1t was said to cure tu- mors. I did so and immediately began to improve in health, and was entirely cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, without an operation. 1 wish every suffering woman would try this great preparation"
 Just as surely as Miss Adams was cured of the troubles enumerated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman in the land who suffers from womb troubles, inflammation of the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous excitability and nervous prostration.
 Mrs. Pinkham invites all young women who are ill to write her for free advice. Address, Lynn, MasS

ed by this company to an excellent adj
vantage.
fhe principal attraction at this booth
aside from the elegant display of then
goods, is the machinery which they
/ have placed in their exhibit This ma ma.
ch1nery consists of three machines uSsu
by them in their laboratory tnere =
a sugar coating tablet machine, an
ointment machine, and a medical tab
let machine.
The sugar coating tablet machine. is
a large brass oval open pan IN when
the sugar and chocolate coating IS put
on all the medical tablets made by the
Gaxitt Medical company.
The tablet machine is by. far the
most interesting to the VISITORS as tney
can learn from the operation OF this
machine the way medical manufactur-
STs compress their various ingredients
into such small tablets. 1t is interest
ing to know that this machine when in
full operation will turn out z4,OOO tab
lets an hour, and that every tablet is
OF the Same size, and does not vary
the slightest, for so accurate is this ma
chine that by placing a thin piece of
newspaper the size of a dime on the
scale with six tablets the scale will be
thrown out.
The ointment machine is used in the
manufacture of their ointments. and is
of such a peculiar appearance that the
attendants at the booth are kept busy
explaining its use to the visitors All
the machines are in operation both at
ternoon and evening, and electricity is
used in propelling them.
An idea of the size and magnitude of
the w. w. Gavitt Medical company can
be imagined when you know that this
company is represented by over 5000
agents and representatives, and have
offices in five foreign countries.
In addition to the representation of
their medical department there is also
an exhibit of the w. w. Gavitt print
ing and publishing company. This de-
partment maintained entirely separate
from the medical department, is one of
the largest in the city, and in addition
to the large patronage they have from
own matter pertaining to the medical
department, and in connection to this
department they operate a paper box
and carton department. In fact the

HOLIDAY IN lola.
There to See About Railway or Gas
Business.

c. K. Holiday has been in lola the
past two days, probably looking after
the proposed oil and gas pipe line
from that point to Topeka. With him
is G. B. Merriam.
The lola Register tells Of their visit
in this way: G. K. Holiday, To-
peka alderman, and c. B. Merriam,
capitalist, are in lola today. They
came to meet F. v Crouch to confer
with him in regard to electric railway
matters. Mr.. Crouch denied that it
was in regard to the Kansas Southern.
1t is known, however, that Mr. Holll-
day and Mr.. Merriam are interested in
a. proposed electric line from Topeka
to Council Grove. Perhaps they may
want to interest Mr.. Crouch in that
venture. There is no telling. Mr..
Merriam nor Mr.. Holiday will talk.
The presence of Mr.. Holiday
caused a reporter Immediately to sur
mise that perhaps he might be here
never visited lola before, but he knows
all about gas. He is president of a
gas company. This company happens
to own artificial gas, which supplies
the city of Topeka: Mr.. Holiday
would like very much if Topeka could
have natural gas. Recently he went
east in quest of money for such a pro-
ject. He says he found it.
1--WE are waiting to see what the
legislature will do" said Mr. HolH-
day. 1--WE have plenty of money to
organize a gas company to supply the
city of Topeka, if the legislature ism
too hostile"
Mr.. Holiday thinks lola is a. great
town. He wanted to talk about it ali
the time.
'sI just came down to get a little
breath of ozone,' said the councilman
gaily. There really is nothing else
going on And Mr.. Merriam here
wants to loan you some more money.
He has large investments in lola al
ready
Merriam went into conference with
F. V. Crouch for a few hours, making
it perfectly clear that they were here
to get a little breath of ozone.
Mr. Holiday has lived in Topeka al
ways His father was one of the
founders of the town. He is one of
foremost citizens.

The immense business transacted

application to business he has caused
it to grow to such proportions that
