A Royal Hermit

Few of the people residing in this peerless State of Alabama. know that on the summit of her prettiest noun tain near the northeast border line lives q cousin of King Edward VII, of Eng land.
 For more than twenty years this strange man has lived in that lonely spot with not even dog or cat to bear him company and having but lit- tie intercourse with the outside world. Occasionally he walks to the nearest village and buys a meagre supply of the aecesaries of life and in more than one of these occasions he has been known to mail letter to Queen Vic toFia.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all It's stages. and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being q
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The prOprietors have

DECLINE is HEAVY YESTERDAY.
Prospect of Too Much Cotton scarss
the Bulls.

A net loss of % points or quarter
cent marked the course of the futures
market yesterday, January declining
from 9.41 to 8 IS, the closing figure.
Receipts in Americus were light, and
the few sales made were around nine
cents. The collaps was somewhat of q
surprise as the market opened very
steady and operators were of the
opinion that another effort to advance
the level might carry prices 10 points
higher. There was too much cotton
for sale, however, and from "a De-
cember prices ran back to 914, break
of 20 points in lets than two hours.
While some unsatisfactory crop ac-
counts are at hand, the crop as whole
seems to be doing remarkably well
and indications seem to point to rec
ord yield.

MUST PAY CASH NOW OR WALK
Law Prohibiting the Giving of Passes
Effective.

Pay cash or walk, is now the propo,
sition confronting that element of the
people who have been accustomed TO
riding on free passes, for yesterday
morning Georgia, together with the
rest of the country, began upon new
era so far as passes and free transpor-
tation is concerned and the death knell
of special privileges was sounded.
This great change was occasioned by
the new rate bill of the interst tate COM
merce commission, which went into eff
feet at midnight.
Conflicting as many of the provisions
ofsthe new bill may appear, according to
the testimony of many railroad experts,
there is no circumventing the fact
that passes and free transportation is
made unlawful under the provisions of
the new bill.
Incidentally to the fact that both the
user of pass as we'll as the official or
railroad issuing 1t are subject to heavy
penalty under the new law, makes 1t
practically certain that there will be q
certain and sudden stop in the request
for passes.
That the railroads are very much dis
turbed by these new conditions is evil
dent. This sudden taking away of the
pass privilege means that from now on
all business must be transacted on o
regular business foundation,

A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY

No Matter What Color,

M@Br Have LuxurAanr ana GLOSSY ha1Fy
No Matter What Color.
The finest contour of female face, the
sweetest smile of female mouth, loses
something if the head is crowned with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair, 1t is
now known, is caused by a parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where 1t saps the vitality. The lit
tie white scales the germ throws up in
burrowing are called dandruff. To cure
dandruff permanently, then, and to stop
falling hair, that germ must be killed.
Newbros Herpicide, an entirely new re-
suit of the chemical laboratory, destroys
the dandruff germ, and, of course, stops
the falling hair, and prevents badness.
