You Never Know the Moment
When This Information May
Prove Of Infinite Value.
It is worth considerable to any
citizen of Sistersbille to know
how to be cured of painful, annoy
ing and itching piles. Know
then that Doan's Ointment is a
positive remedy for all itchiness
of the skin, for piles, eczema, etc.
One application relieves and
soothes. Read this testimony OF
it's merit:
Mrs. Sadie Ranger of 600 9Th
street, Marietta, O., says: "Mr.
Ranger has had no reason to
change his opinion about Doan's
Ointment which was expressed
in our Marietta newspapers IN
1900. he had been troubled with
hemorrhoids for some time, and
this was the first remedy which
afforded him positive and com
plete relief. We have used Doan's
Ointment in our family as need
has arisen with the children and
find there is nothing to equal 1t
for relieving itchiness or lrrlta-
ton of the skin which they have
been troubled. Doan's Ointment
is all that it is represented to be,
and we give it our most earnest
endorsement"

NO EFFECT FELT.
Walsh Failure Will Not Hurt Other
 Financial Organizations.

Chicago, December 20.-"Other banks and financial circles in general in Chicago cannot possibly feel any bad effects from the failure of the Walsh banks" said James B. Forgan, president of the First National bank and of the Chicago Clear ing House association last night
 ''ln guaranteeing the deposits of the three banks the other banks of Chicago have taken no unusual action. They have not assumed any great liabilities m fact. the actual liability assumed by each bank is comparatively trivial-not more than is met in an average days business.
 ''There Is no other bank in Chicago in the condition which caused the down. fan of John R. Walshs institutions. No other bank can be subjected to the crit icism that its president is engaged in other lines of business as Walsh was
 "Of course every Chicago bank has bus mess men on it's directorate. It Is so all over the world. But with all these bus mess men as directors In the Chicago banks, no other bank is using the funds for outside investments as were these three"

J. A. TAYLOR WILL
 EXAMINE RECORDS
WANTS TO SEE WHAT THE GOV 
 EMINENT REPORT OF DECEM- BIER WAS TAKEN FRoM-ooES TO WASHINGTON.

Dallas Texas, December 2o.-J. A. Tay- Tor, president of the National Ginners' association, stated this evening he would go to Washington after the holidays and asked permission to see the cotton rec ords of the census bureau, from which the report of that department of De- cember 1 was made up He declared that whereas the estimate for Texas cotton in the report issued by the government today was identically the same as that issued by the National Ginners' asso- citation, there was difference of about es. 600 bales in the report issued Decem- Der 1.
 'In our last report on Texas we diff fered from the government about forty per cent on the number of bales ginned in Texas" said he.
 "I have asked MT. North to make pub lie the figures of December 1 for Texas by counties and he refused, but has agreed to make the figures in this last report public. In the government report today, our figures on Texas are practi- cally confirmed, which seems rather strange, as we have used fpe very same gins and the very same system in making this report as we did in making the other.
 'l expect to visit Washington right after the holidays and carry my investi- gation further"

TAYLOR IS STILL
 IN THE CITY JAIL
THE MAN WANTED IN TEXAS WAS RELEASED YESTERDAY AS A RE- SUIT OF HABEAs CORPUS PRO- cEEDINGS, BUT REARREsTED.

w. S. Taylor was given his freedom by Chancellor Benner yesterday morning after hearing all the facts in the case in the habeas corpus proceedings, but was re-arrested a short time afterwards.
 The chancellor ruled that it was his opinion that the man was being held on slight grounds and was entitled to his freedom Taylor walked from the court house a free man and there was ques- ton as to whether or not he could be re-arrested even if the Texas authorities should come here for him.
 Taylor was arrested several days ago at the Union passenger station as fug- tive from justice upon advice from Sher- man, Tex. He was wanted on charge of perjury and was apprehended as he was leaving a train. Taylor made bond in the sum of $900 for his appearance in the justice court. but failed to show-up last Saturday. A forfeiture was taken against his bondsmen.
 On Monday he went before Justice of the Peace H. B. Abernathy. The forfeiture was set aside and the bond was increased after which Taylor was turned over to the police. He has been confined in the city jail since that time with the excep- ton of about one hour today. The Texas authorities notified Chief of Police w. E. Wier that they would come for Taylor and yesterday another message was received by the chief from Sheriff w. s. Russell of Sherman stating that he had missed his train but would likely reach Birming- ham today. Chancellor Benners stated after announcing the his decision that the Texas officials had ample time in which to come here for the man and that on the face of the testimony he was not sure the perjury charge would hold good against him.
 A short time after Taylor was released by the chancellor. Chief Wier received another telegram from Sheriff Russell to hold the man by all means and he swore out another warrant to hold Taylor until the Texas officer arrives. He stated in his telegram that he would reach Bir- mingham without fail this morning and that he had strong case against the &C., cused preliminary hearing of this case has been set for this morning be- fore Justice of the Peace Abernathy.

JACKSONVILLE HAS
 HIGH WIND STORM
VELOCITY REACHED 52 MILES AN HOUR AND A CYCLONE WAS RUMoRED-WIRE CONNECTION SEVERED.

Jacksonville, Fla, December 2o.-A storm swept over Jacksonville and tho surrounding country this afternoon for hours, cutting this place completely off from telegraphic communication with the outside world. Not a wire was working until nearly 10 o'clock.
 In Jacksonville no damage was done beyond the blowing down of a few signs and injury to a few roofs. The local weather office reported a wind velocity of 50 miles an hour.
 Washington, December 20.-Reports re- ceived at the weather bureau at o'clock tonight record the prevalence of an elec- trical storm with heavy fall of rain, and wind reaching a velocity of 52 miles an hour at Jacksonville, Fla. this after noon. It was at first reported that 8 cyclone had struck the Florida city, as since before 6 o'clock tonight it has been completely cut off from telegraphie com- munication with Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah, the three nearest largest cities. The information which reached the weather bureau came in the regular nightly report from the observer at Jack sonville, and made no mention of eyclonic disturbances.
 The storm came probably from the Gulf coast of Florida and ragged over the northern part of the state from which 1t shifted off, it is thought, into the Atlantic ocean. This afternoon the weather bureau sent out storm warning for the benefit of shipping along the coast of Florida, from Tampa northwest and westward, and along the Atlantic coast from Jackson vile north. These warning were repeat ed tonight. The officials here say they. will be unable to tell the probable loca- ton of the storm until tomorrow
 Savannah, Ga. also felt the reflex ef- fects of the storm, and a that city the wind also reached a high velocity, &C., companied by thunder storms.
