At q Disadvantage.
A plant of even very respectable pro-
portions Is at disadvantage when It Is
located within the shadow of a giant in-
dustry. It loses much OF its individual
ity, in the first place, and the movement
of raw material inward and OF the fin-
ished product outward is likely to be ham
pered in times Of activity, because the
greater plant can demand and secure
the better service from railroads.
In plants manufacturing things which
require high degree of skill, one of the
most important considerations is secur-
ing and retaining the most capable work.

TELLS SUFFERING LADIES
How to Cure Themselves at Home OF
Chronic Diseases. Their Nature,
Cure and Proper Treatment.

Dillingham's Plant Juice is espe-
cially adapted to the treatment of dis
eases peculiar to women. This
wonderful remedy may always be
relied upon to effect complete and
permanent cure. 1t quickly banishes
the pain and aches of the back, the
awful headaches, the dragging sensa-
ton and the extreme nervousness
caused by woman's ills. 1t acts di-
rectly on the muscles, strengthening
the ligaments, quickly creates a
healthy circulation of the blood, and
has an almost magical effect over all
Inflammation of the mucous surfaces.
1t should be taken for at least thirty
days. If disturbances are allowed to
continue, it is only question of
time when they will be productive OF
other and more serious troubles.
Many serious operations could be
avoided if Dillingham's Plant Juice
were only taken in time. 1t is esti-
mated that nine women out of every
ten, over twenty-five years of age,
have some trouble that is peculiar to
them, and over fifty per cent of those
under twenty-five years of age are
similarly affected. This is an ap-
palling state of affairs. 1t is largely
due to mental worry, overwOrk and
anxiety. If women would care for
themselves properly, be careful in re-
gard to catching cold, and take a
course of treatment of Dillingham; S
Plant JUICE two or three times a year,
very few would have trouble.
From the marvellous effect that Dill
lingham's Plant Juice possesses over
all such diseases it would appear
that nature had especially intened
this medicine for the cure of wOman's
ills. But we notice that when it is
used for dyspepsia, catarrh, kidney
troubles and many Othe diseases the
effect is equally as magical, so we are
forced to conclude that it was made
for men and women alike, to relieve
them of their pains and ills and keep
them healthy and strong.

Farmers Strike for Higher Prices

Have the farmers of the north been
influenced by the action of the cotton
farmers of the south to the extent of
believing they can fix their own prices
for their products? 1t looks a little
that way. A strike has been called of
the 100000 farmers composing the
American Society of Equity, an or
ganization having its headquarters at
indianapolis. 1t is said that every
one who responds to this call will
agree to hold his wheat or other prod
ucts from market until he gets the
price fixed for them by the officials of
the organization. If all the farmers
combine to hold their products for
prices of their own making it is pretty
certain that prices will advance on ac-
count of the scarcity that will be Gre
ated of the articles in question.

ATTACKED BY TRICHINOSIS
Ate Diseased Hog Meat and Died
Interesting Cases Under Treat
ment by Savannah Physicians.

The authorities at the Savannah
hospital have been very much inter-
ested in the case of Rufus Woods OF
Collins, Tatnall county, who is now
recovering from trichina poisoning at
that institution. Mr.. Woods case is
very peculiar one. He and his wife
are recovering, but Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Cowart of Collins, Mrs. Wood 5
mother and father and three OF her
sisters, Misses Susie, Essie and Nella,
have all died.
1t is believed that they were poison
ed from eating diseased pork. The
family killed SOW that seemed a lit
tie sick, and a good deal of this meat
was eaten. Some of the refuse was
thrown to the chickens, and the chick
ems ate it heartily. Later the chickens
we're eaten by the family. This was
during the Christmas holidays. The
pork lasted some time.
Miss Susie Cowart died January %,
Mrs. Cowart died February 4, Mr..
Cowart died February IL, Miss Essie
Cowart died February Is and Miss
Velva Cowart died on the 18th. Mr..
Woods condition became such that a
week ago he went to Savannah for
treatment. He and his wife are now
on the road to recovery.
Savannah physicians are making an
effert to secure some of the meat, or
some of the chickens, to see if they
can find any trace of the poison.
Poverty Partly to Blame
A sad part of the story told by Mr..
Woods is that poverty is in measure
at least responsible for the death Of
some of the victims of the trichina,
The mysterious epidemics of deaths
that rapidly claimed seven victims ir
one family had filled with terror the
survivors. These, however. were no
able to do more than obtain whatever
medical aid that was readily at hand
which seemed unable to cope with the
unknown malady. The question o
money barred the obtaining of outside
medical aid one by one the five a

| family cemetery.
1t was not until Mr.. Woods illness
that the cause of the sickness was ever
surmised. Then the confinement by
illnesss and death to the members O
one family, while others seemed i'm
mune, dispelled the idea that the agen
of the grim reaper was some malig
nant fever. The recollections of some
went back to the sick pig that hac
been killed and eaten, and it was de
cided that this was probably the cause
of the fatal illness.

FREE SEED ARE CUT OFF
In Future congressman Will Be De-
MED This Method of Keeping
Their Fences in Good Order.

Over the solid opposition of the
southern members of congress the
house committee has struck from the
agricultural appropriation bill all
provision for the purchase of seed for
free distribution. This action came as
climax to a hard fight which southern
members made to retain the appropri-
alton on the grounds that 1T furnishes
one of the few direct benefits the
farmer of the country receives from the
government treasury. For a number
of years a fight has been made against
this free seed proviso, led usually by
men representing city districts, but
heretofore the agricultural committee
has always included the item in the
appropriation bill and the opponents
have been unable to strike it out in the
house. Now that it has been stricken
by the committee, however, the friends
of the appropriation will find it ex~
tremely difficult to secure its insertion
when the bill reaches the house. This
year the department of agriculture
made the usual estimate of 1882, 600

Birds avoid its branches, nor is any in

The electrical condition of the tree is

ADVISES AGAINST LIBERIA.
Bishop Hartzel Talks About the Con-
ditions in That Republic.

The Methodist Episcopal bishop for
Africa, Rev. Joseph G. Hartzel, has
arrived in New York after an absence
of two years in Africa. Bishop
Hartzel is very hopeful for the black
republic of Liberia, in which the re-
patriated negroes from America and
their descendants, now l8,000.in num-
Der, and few thousands civilized ma
tives form the governing class.
Liberia, which has led hitherto a
rather precarious existence" the
bishop said, lis now entering upon a
new epoch. The English company has
been granted large mining and rubber
concessions, in return for which the
government has secured a loan OF
$500, 600. With this sum it is intended
to nay the debts of the republic, to
establish national bank and to open
up the interior"
Bishop Hartzel said he would not
advocate the wholesale emigration OF
negroes from southern states. There
are not openings in Liberia, he said,
for many settlers, and trade and other
conditions are unfavOrable for the
reception of many emigrants at a
time

Pitiable conditions are reported in

epidemic of diphtheria is raging,
there is shortage of provisions and
people and dogs are being driven mad
by hunger and cold. One story says
that dogs have attacked, killed and
eaten several children, and that in
other instances women have had to
defend themselves against the starv-

conditions it would seem that the
