CATARRH SEASON.
Disease Most revalent in the Fall
Months. Simple Way to Cure.

Disease Most revalent in the Fall
Months. Simple Way to Cure.
At the first warning of catarrh
one should begin using Hyomei
There is no stomach dosing with this
treatment. The medication of it's
healing oils and balsams is taken
in with the air you breathe so that
il reaches the most remote cells of
the nose, throat and lungs, killing
the catarrh germs wherever present,
and soothing all irritations in the
mucous membrane.
You run no risk in paying the
Dawson Drug Co or the Peoples
Drug Store 81 for a Hyomei outfit,
as they give their personal guaran-
tee that if the remedy does not afford
relief your money will be refunded
at once. Extra bottles of Hyomei, if
needed, cost but so cents, making it
the most economical treatment for
catarrh as well as the only one that
is sold on guarantee.

RUIN TO COTTON FIELDS
A TERRIBLE CONDITION PRE-
Walls ON MANY PLANTATIONS.
Wind and Rain Have Wrought Dis
aster. Sights That Were Never
Before Witnessed.

A Natchez, Miss, dispatch says
the storms which recently swept that
section have done Unreasonable
harm to the tenant cotton planters.
Before the hurricane few fields had
been picked over, and in some the
lint was piled up in conical heaps
beneath the bushes four or five inch
es deep where it had dropped out of
the bolls. Some of the fields looked
like snowdrifts When the wind
swept through it scattered the cot
ton far and wide, and then the rain
began to fall For four weeks it
fell steadily.
Cotton is sprouting on the bush,
which ruins the lint, as we'll as the
seed, for manufacturing purposes.
Cotton lint picked by the hurricane
IS heaped on the ground, rotting and
sprouting. Much of it has been trans
formed by the continuous rains in
to little plants with the second IeaI.
Such sight was never before wit
messed.
There is a scarcity of laborers and
they can not be obtained in suffi-
Gent numbers to pick cotton that
is opening daily and to save that
sprouting on the ground The ne
gro tenant farmers on those plan
tations that lease for cotton rent are
in despair, as their leases are I'M
Maid to the merchants who advanced
them during the season. The men
wade out in the mud, picking the
water soaked sprouting lint out of
the dripping bolls, and bare-legged

LAY ILLUMINATED EGGS.

Queer Freak of New Jersey Hens
Who Are ON Lightning Bug Diet.
1t is a pity the lightning bug sea-
son is at an end, for skeptical per-
sons will not be able to verify the
truth of John Sheaffer's statement
that by feeding hens lightning bugs
you can induce them to lay illum-
mated eggs.
Mr.. Sheaffer resides at Wildwood,
N. j., and a dispatch from that place
says during the height of the light
ming bug season he gave two hens
nothing else to eat, and he declares
that each day he got two eggs of
sixteen candle power strength.
BY vanishing the eggs he has pre-
served their strength, and he believes
the longer these glowing eggs are
kept the stronger they will grow.
By painting them red, blue or
green he foud he could get as many
different colored lights, and most
beautiful effects could be got by
stringing them in festoons.
He thinks that if lightning bugs
are fed to ostriches lights large
enough for automobile lamps can be
had

FIGHT DUST WITH AIR.
Postoffice Department Will Use 1t liz
It's House Cleaning.

At Washington no more dust for
the postoffice department. Not the
congressional appropriation variety
but the real old thing, which rises
when carpets are cleaned and brooms
handled with vigor The officials OF
the department have decided to use
air in their house cleaning; not hot
but compressed, which is a deadly
foe to dust. Hereafter compressed
air will prevent the dust from an
moving the sensitive noses OF those
EMPLOYED in the postoftice depart
ment. The determination to use
compressed air was reached after due
deliberation on its merits as means
of securing a non-dust performance
on cleaning days.

Several of Them and Their Descend

Down on the Alabama river, be-

small negro settlement, and among
it's inhabitants are still living six or
more Africans who came over here
in the slaveshib Clotilde, owned by
one jim Meaher, and who were the
last slaves to be landed on American
soil. Their owner was spied upon,
and in fear of arrest turned his cap

a queen of their own, and there their
few descendants are still to be found.
They are tattooed after the African
custom. and have a finer physique

WAS 1T WORTH WHILE.

Russell Sage. one Of the greatest
nnanciers of this or any other ge of
the world, died last Sunday-just like
millions Of other men die--and really
and truly mourned by fewer Of his fell
low men than hundreds who died on
the same day For all his wealth and
the power that it gave him, he is worth
no more today than any other who has
gone before him into the great UNI
known.
From his earliest boyhood Russell
Sage had but one thought one ambi-
tion-to make and save money In
that he succeeded. but how much bet
ter Is the world for his having lived
in it? He has done less than many a
poor man has done to relieve suffer-
ing humanity. to tighten the burdens
of the oppressed. to help the widow
and the orphan. He went through life
with his gaze fixed on one single
goal. The JOY of living he never knew;
pleasure for himself or others was a
stranger to him. He never took a va
cation, and it is not recorded that he
ever helped anyone else to do so. He
gained wealth. but he did it at the cost
