merits a biography from the pen of

He was an excellent reader, another of
his decided accomplishments. In 1876,
soon after the brilliant victory of Bu-
ena Vista, won by the capable and
gallant General Zachary Taylor over
the much larger army of General San
ia Anna, the able Mexican commander,
when the odds were at least four to
one, and probably even more. many
citizens of Raleigh gathered at the
old one-story post-office on Fayeete-
vile street, to hear the news from
the war; Mr.. Badger stood upon the
edge of the low porch in front of
the post-office, and read a long. bril-
liant account of the battle-the first
to come-thht was in the New Orleans,
Delta, and he interspersed the read
ing with enthusiastic comment and a
bit OF wit here and there. 1t was
written the night of the battle upon an

Brigadier General of the Ordnance
Department. Mr.. Badgers reading
was greatly enjoyed by the crowd and
hurrahs went up.
Let me give an incident of my
own knowledge, that occurred in the
summer OF 1896. My father came
hurriedly to Raleigh in his carriage
from Oxford, his home, a distance of
forty-five miles. 1t was made upon
a most urgent legal matter on Sat
urday. He needed Mr.. Badgers imme
date advice, and written opinion as to
the proper way to proceed in a case
really involving more than 100000 in
Tennessee. He called upon the great
lawyer at his residence on Sunday,
apologizing for his visit that morning,
stated his case, its urgency. ETC., and
obtained brief written directions The
charge was moderate-but $50. Mr..
Badger went at II O'Clock TO Christ

bill in the plate. My fathes was Sc

Unusual Preventive Found for the
 Fever.

Reports are coming in giving accounts of singular immunity from fever on the part of those using Pluto Water which comes from the French Lick Springs, French Lick, Ind. The water Is stated upon authority to possess unusual medicl- nal qualities of a mineral character which Instantly destroy the fever germs when brought in contact with them. Whether peachable authority that users of Pluto disease, as the water keeps the system in perfect condition and the medical ele- ments in It's composition render infection impossible.
 There Is no longer any doubt that Pluto Water Is the water of all waters for those who are compelled to remain within the confines of the fever threatened states. What is of more mgnent to the ordinary citizen Is that Pluto Water does not cost more. but Is reasonably less than the common advertised waters
 Special arrangements have been made by the French Lick Springs people to take care of instant shipment of the Pluto Water as orders are received from the fever states. Thousands of our more care ful citizens have already provided this new preventive for their families. Those who have not are advised that they can do notht2g better or safer than place orders at once either with local druggists. the wholesale druggist or the French Lick Springs Company at French Lick Ind Positive announcement Is made that ab- solutey no delay will result in any case.

COTTON NEARLY HARVESTED.
Lee County Farmers Have Been Sell
 Ing Above Ten Gents.

Opelika, September 29.-Perhaps there has never been such rush, throughout the cotton season, as at present. For the past thirty days all the gins of the coun- try have been taxed to their full capacity. The weather has been ideal for opening up the crop, hot and dry, thereby fore ing to maturity and in many cases caus- ing it to open prematurely, and so nearly perfect have been the conditions that where there was plenty of labor the crop is almost harvested. The receipts have been unusually heavy, and but few more days of good weather will be necessary to finish up the crop.
 The farmers have kept their eyes open, and the most of them sell when the price runs above 10 cents, and consequently but little has been stored, and the ware houses are comparatively empty. The crop Is doubtless better than was generally thought to be some time ago, and with the present fair price the farmers are paying up their indebtedness more promptly and the country generally is In more prosperous condition.
 Dr. John F. Purcer, pastor of the West End Baptist church of Atlanta, who was recently called to the First Baptist church here, has declined the call.
 The business men of the city met Monday night and organized the Opelika Merchants association by electing Ishom J. Dorsey president.
 A move Is now on foot to erect two- story brick building for the fire de- partment and city prison, and work is to begin at once.
