The Secretary details he events or the night of August 13. = -Illving the "shootinE up" of the town of Browns vile by anywhere from nine to twety members of this battalion. He Is very severe in his condemnation cf the non commissioned officers of the battalion for failing to discover and report the perpetrators of the outrage and of the enlisted men of the battalion who. by maintaining silence, when, 8 he says, they must have known the unty par ties, connived at the crime.
 He insists that no obligation of com radeship should prevent he men from telling the truth but indicates that such of the men as are guiltless may be re-enlisted The extract follows:

People Not Really Sick Are often Most
 In Need of Care.
 Enc people who actually are most need of kind ords and medical treatment are not those who are really sick, but just "out of sorts"
 The old time energy. force. strength and happy spirits are lacking; the physical and mental powers are flag gine: there is poor appetite, and they cannot get the good out of tine food they eat. In nine cases out of ten, this results directly from a weakened stom- ach and no other treatment equals Ni-o-na to restore strength and health.
 When the nerves and muscles are W Nelk. if there Is slCeplessness, irrita- IilItv, and specks before the eyes. when the head aches and there is a dull pain in the back, and there is any distress and henViness in the stomach, dizzi- ress. and sometimes nausea. the use of Ni-o-na stomach tablets for a few days will make a world of improvement and continued use for reasonable time will restore perfect health.
 These tablets are not mere dtgeS- lives; they absolutely strengthen all the organs of digestion, so that there is good appetite, perfect digestion and strong nerves, when they are used.
 A large box of Ml-o-na stomach tab lets is sold for 50 cents by Fowler, with an absolute guarantee that they will be successful in curing digestion snd restoring health, or the money will be refunded. Ask him to show you the liberal guarantee he gives with avery 5O-cent box of Mi-o-na.

TO DEPRESS
COTTON ARE DEPRECATED
BY 3. DIXON ARMSTRONG.

1t is absolutely ineonceivable to me how
an American citizen. particularly a south
erner, can connive at or be party to
any action which has a tendency to de-
press the price of cotton. Every we'll
Informed man knows that the United
States has a monopoly in cotton. The
territory to which this monopoly belongs
Is the south. Still. it Is a national and
not a sectional question.
TO the cotton producer belongs the
credit for the prestige our nation enjoys
by being a creditor instead of a debtor
nation. The balance of trade is in fa-
vor of the United States by more than
$25O,000o0 per annum. solely by reason of
the enormous export of cotton. Wipe out
the cotton and in twenty-four hours we
would find the balance of trade against
us.
For forty years cotton has been the
mainstay of our export trade. With it
our great war debt to Europe was paid.
1t enabled the nation to resume specie
payment 1t gives us a standing in the
markets of the world possessed by no
other people,
Yet in the face of all this, We see each
day men engaged in an earnest endeavor
to depress the price of this great ex-
port product to which We are so much
indebted for our national greatness, and
the most disgusting of all sights is to
see our own people-Southerners engaged
in depressing prices.
The value of the cotton crop annually
is over $600000,000 Three-fourths of our
cotton is sold to foreigners. In exchange
for this three-fourths they send us in
gold more than $780, 600 each year, or
more than $1,2O00OO per day for each of
the 365 days of the year, including Sun
days.
The thought l wish to express is this ::
the commercial prestige of the United
States being due to the cotton produced
by us, this fight for higher prices by
the Southern Cotton association is not a
southern fight. 1t should be the affair
of the man from Maine and California,
as it is of the smallest or larger pro-
Queer of cotton in Alabama. So long
as three-fourths of our cotton is sold to
foreign countries, take the position that
any citizen of the United States who
dares out to depress the price of cotton
is a traitor, just as much as was
Benedict Arnold, and should be made to

Mushroom Stock BOOMING.

The boom in mushroom stocks is now
attracting attention everywhere The
country has never seen such a boom IN
wildcats as this. That of four or five
years ago was a pretty big one, and the
public lost many millions of dollars, out
this is bigger one. Many stock cx-
change and banking houses have been
bitten by the Cobalt bug. and you can
not move anywhere in the financial dis
trict without meeting a Colonel Sellers

alone some 250 companies have been or
ganized, with q combined captaliza don
in the hundreds of million of dollars
and scarcely more than a dozen of these
companies are shipping ore today The
richness of the Nipisslng mine at Cobalt
Lake has led many to believe that the
entire district for miles around is car

Stock Called In.
Goldfeld, Nevada. No,

Goldfield Nevada, Nov Is, 1906
As the result of the alleged misman-
agement of the affairs of the Bullfrog
Rush Mining company serious charges
have been preferred against certain d-
rectors and officials of this company, it
being stated that they have purposely
mismanaged the company with a view
of depressing the price of the stock in
order to secure control
The property is said to give promise
of proving one of the biggest mines in
the Bullfrog district, but owing to the
dispute which is on among the directors
of this company, several Nevada broker
age houses who sold this stock to their
clients, have decided to call it in and
refund the money paid for the stock in
order to protect their clients from be-
ing involved The initiative was taken by
the Union Securities company who have
refunded every dollar to their clients who
bought Rush stock
If every brokerage house that sold
mining stocks would follow the precedent
set by the Union Securities company,
there would probably be less disappoint-
ment among the large army of investors
who follow mining.

Wireless Troubles.

Another curious phase of the boom in
new companies is the promotion of the
United Wireless Telegraph company, OF
which Abraham White, the head of the
American De Forest Wireless Telegrapnv
company, is the chief promoter. Mr.
White in his prospectus announces that
the United Wireless is a combination of
the De Forest and Marconi companies
His directorate includes one Marcon Ii
rector but all the other directors of the
American and English Marconi comna-
MES make very emphatic denials of any
connection with the United Wireless
and state that Mr.. Whites company does
not own, as he claims, the control of tho
Marcont companies. Marconi himself
who is in Rome, thinks Mr.. Whites conf
pany is : dream. Former Governor
Griggs of New Jersey, president of the
American Marconi company, is most EN-
phatic in denying that the Marconi com
panies are in Mr.. Whites combination,
but Mr.. White is selling his new stock,
and is already quoting it on the curb at
premium of 81 a share. 1t Is pity
that the financing of wireless biography
has been so badly handled ever since
Wireless stocks were first offered to he
public. One banking house after anoth or
has taken hold of Marconi financing and
then dropped it. But Mr.. Whites consol-
idation of all the Wireless companies
seems to be the last straw That wire
less biography is a wonderful invention
and of great service to mankind there
can be no question, but it is not wonder.

Hard to Find Rifle Rance.

Jackson Miss, November 24-(Special)
Adjutant General Fridge is having all
sorts of trouble locating the rifle prac-
tice range authorized by the national gov
eminent for this state. Several cities and
towns have offered to donate the range,
but there are objections to most of them.
The range must be about HOO yards long
by 200 feet wide, high and dry and above
overflow so that the pits will not fill up
with water. But for the overflow Jackson
would have an ideal range in the rear of
the old capitol but with the water ten
to twenty feet deep over the place every
spring, there is no use talking about To-
eating it on the state lands. The range
must be on the railroad SO that the par
aphernalia may be gotten on the grounds
without trouble or expense.

So eminent an authority on mining as

company, has been forced to come our

mass of wildcat mining companies now

Mr. Guggenheim has been incensed by
the association of the Guggenheim name
with scores of properties in Cobalt THAI
he never heard of. The Guggenheims
bought a large interest in Nipissins
property. The immediate cause of Mr.
Guggenhem's public statement was the
offer to the public by Grant Hugh
Browne, q business friend of Thomas L
Ryan. of $5,000,OOO of the stock of the
United Cobalt Exploration company. It
appears that nearly all of this stock was
subscribed by Mr.. Brownies friends at 81
a share before the public offering was
made, and the purpose of the public Of
fering was merely to advertise the stock
Mr.. Brownies friends said that the stock
was forty times subscribed. This re-
minds one of the days of the South sea
bubble. The public seemed to be eager
to buy Mr.. Brownies stock because it
was limited that both Thomas f. Ryan
and Daniel Guggenhem were backing
Mr.. Browne. Both of these gentlemen
have made denials of any such connec-

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health ant
Disease.
COSTS NOTHING TO Try.

The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a large
quantity had to be taken to get any eff
feet.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial eff
fects of sulphur in palatable concen-
trated form. SO that a single grain is far
more effective than tablespoonful of the
crude sulphur.
In recent years research and expert
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use Is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Suphide) and sold in
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Calcium Waters. They are small choeo-
late coated pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle of sulphur in a highly
concentrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health. sui
phur acts directly on the liver and excre-
tory organs and purifies and enriches the
blood by the prompt elimination of waste
material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall, but the cruditv and im-
purity of ordinary flowers OF sulphur were
often worse than the disease. and can
not compare with the modern concern
