said there was no cure for me. have
taken all kinds of medicine and have

Hand Organ Trust Hounds Him.

A fierce struggle for supremacy in
the hand organ music world is being
waged on the South side between the
barrel organ trust" and one Anton
Rocco, an Independent producer, who
has entered the field with an improved
music-making device, says the Chicago
Daily News.
Everywhere that Rocco goes the
trust is sure to co. is the slogan of
the trust, and when Rocco backs his
harmony machine against the curb and
begins to reel off yard or so of "The
Maiden's Prayer a trust machine is
quickly wheeled into position along
side and lets fire volley of "Alexan-
DER AS usual in these fights of COM
bincs, the consumers complain, the
public is the victim.
The scene of operations is between
Thirty-tirst and Sixty-third streets
and Cottage Grove avenue and Hal
sted street. Heretofore all barrel Or
gans used in this district were rented
to individuals by the trust, which asks
daily fee. but allows the exclusive
privilege of the territory to go with
the machine. All went we'll until word
was brought to headquarters that
there was a competitor in the field
who gravely threatened the industry.
Not. only does Rocco's machine pro-
duce the familiar strains, but in the
popular songs the bars of the chorus
are punctured by bass drum and
cymbals.
The mandate went out from the
trust that Rocco must be made to-
leave the territory and he was told in
no simple terms to "skiddoo-a," but
he only smiled. Later, he says, threats
were made, but he continued to make
his rounds, followed by throngs of chill
dren. AS last resort the idea of
sending another organ was formed.
His footsteps have been logged, he de-
clares, by trust hirelings, and when he
makes stop another organ is placed
as near as possible to his machine to
confuse his music.

Is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose it's effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is laxative on the
market that is so carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated..

Every mother possesses information
which is Of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance Of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in a young girls life without
pain or irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at

There's No Place Like Home.

This month three years ago party Of
negroes left Ocilla, Ca, for Monrovia,
Africa. Their hopes were high, be-
cause their Bishop Turner had advised
the removal. They reached Africa
safely, but the country was not what
they supposed it.
They were srnitten with fever; they
didn't dare to roam far through the
woods for fear that some Of their wild
African brethren would roast and eat
them and they got homesick and longed
for the land of hog and hominy, pos
sum and later They wrote back home
and some Of their white friends put up
81, 47O to get them back. They will
reach home this week.

Public Office Equal Justice Aspeca Privileges
Land Title Case in Supreme Court.

The oral arguments in the suit of
Neil G. Wade VS.. the Atlantic Lumber
Company, which was set for hearing in
the Supreme Court for Monday, were
postponed until February Ia on account
of the illness of Justice Hooker and
Justice Whitfeld's disqualification in
the case. The case is one of consider
able Importance, as it involves points
at issue in the internal improvement
fund suits now pending in the courts.
Judge Evelyn c. Maxwell of Pensa-
cola, formerly of the Supreme bench,
and his law partner, Judge L. J. Reeves
Of Pensacola, and Hon. John T. Walker
of New York, were here to argue for
the APPELLEE, the Atlantic Lumber Com
pany, and Ex-Governor Jennings and
Hon. w. w. Hampton of Gainesville
for Neill G. Wade. Associated with
Governor Jennings and Mr.. Hampton
in the suit are Bryan & Bryan and r.
w. Williams.
On account of the disqualification of
Justice Whitfield, the attorneys for the
Atlantic Lumber Company have re-
quested that a Circuit Judge be called
to make full bench.
The suit is a contest for title to a
tract of land comprising more than
100, 900 acres in Taylor and Lafayette
Counties.
The Atlantic Lumber Company holds
title under a Legislative grant made
under deed of the trustees of the inter-
nal improvement fund
1t is probable that Judge Malone will
be selected to sit in the case.

The funniest part of the newspaper
business happens when after an article
is printed on some abstract, moral or
general question, there are always a
few folks who, being unduly sensitive
on questions of one kind or another,
will try the thing on themselves and
fancy that it was cut out in the editorial
sanctum to fit their particular case and,
having so concluded, can see it in no
other light, and complain of too tight a
fit. The editor may be trained to GER
tain habits of belief and thought, and
in a general way may express these
views as they stand related to the hap
penings of the day, but he may be ut
terly innocent of any intended thrust at
any one or anything in particular; but,
like the man in the church who thinks
the preacher took occasion to pick him
out and prepare sermon for his espec-
ial benefit, when the preacher never
had him in mind, the reader of the edi-
torial goes on the waTpath because he
fances he has been aimed at. Why
will folks go around anyhow and try to
fit on every old shoe they see in order
to have a kick?--Orando Reporter.

ASSOCIATION.
Warehouse System Is TO Be Extended
and Improved and Guaranteed.
Receipts Issued.

The Southern Cotton Association COM
pleted it's labors with its Saturday af-
ternoon session, January Is, and ad-
journed without day. Declaring the
adjournment, President Jordan congrat-
ulated the convention on the successful
way in which it had performed its work.
The new executive committee will meet
here next week and arrange to carry
out the various recommendations which
have been made by the convention. 1t
will probably be in session for two or
three days. Except the members of
the committee, practically all the men,
bers of the association started for their
homes tonight.
At the>opening of the afternoon ses-
sion Chairman W. d. Nesbitt presented
the report of the committee on ware
houses. 1t recommended the extension
and improvement of the present ware
house system by improving the phys
ical character and fire protection feat
ures of all warehouses; building of large
hreproof warehouses in commercial CEN
ters, which warehouses may be tribu-
tary; a design for a standard ware
house suited for railway stations and
small towns; the education of the peo-
pie in the great advantages Of the ware
house and credit system, based on ware
house receipts: encouragement by the
officers of the association of warehouse
building, ard a combination by local
warehouse companies and formation of
grading and guarantee company TO is
sue uniform guaranteed receipts on cot
ton in warehouses that will adopt proper
methods andgive proper security. The
resolution was adopted.
A resolution by NJ V. Calvin, of
Georgia, was adopted, instructing the
executive committee to publish for dis
tribution 100, 600 copies of the proceed
ings of the convention.
W. p. Shinault of Mississippi, chair
man of the committee on acreage re-
duction, reported favoring the reduction
of acreage 25 per cent from that plant
ed in 1907. AS there was planted 3d.
900, 900 acres of cotton in 1904, this
would mean that the Southern Cotton
Association is in favor Of planting but
"a, 900, 600 acres Of cotton this year.

Substantial City Improvement.

The ladies of the Women's Club have
had begun the work of grading, terrac-
ing, dwelling and otherwise improving
the square west of City Hall Mr..
Geo. H. Averett, with several double
teams and large force of hands Oper-
ating improved dirt handling machinery,
is now daily engaged in the work, and
what has been very uneven, badly
washed square and an eyesore, in the
very center of this city will be convert-
ed into neat and attractive square,
and is to be fixed up as a suitable and
convenient place for persons who come
to the city with terms, TO put them up
and thus keep them from being lined
up and hitched in the streets as has
been the custom for some time. BY a
500 appropriation from the County Com
misSioners and like help from the City
Council, and amounts the ladies have
raised and expect to raise by giving en-
tertainments, and contributions from
business men who approve Of the good
work our ladies are doing in making
substantial improvements, they hope to
have a fund of a thousand dollars,
which will enable them to make the
square level and pretty, put up conven-
fences for hitching and sheltering ami
mails from the weather and planting
out pretty and ornamental shade trees,
The ladies should be backed up and en-
cOuraged in all they are trying to do to
make Tallahassee a neat, clean, attrac-
tive and inviting city.
