A Word About Our
 Correspondence

The Log Cabin Democrat be- lieves that it has the best county news service of any paper in the state, and is very proud of this fact. There are a few points, however, that are not represented in our columns, at which we are very anxious to secure correspond ents. We know of no better way to get them than to appeal to subscribers at those places to in- duce some competent person to volunteer for this position. It makes the paper worth more to you.
 We furnish all stationery and postage and send the paper free to our correspondents.
 We need good correspondents at Lollie and Bristol. Two or three have undertaken to write from Martinville, but no one has kept it up. Our correspondents at Linder and Holland have not written recently, and we would appreciate a letter from them-if not every week, then every two weeks.
 We again request all corres- pondents to get their communica- tions to us by Monday afternoon, whenever possible.

IN some conditions the gain from the use of Scott's Emulsion is very rapid. For this reason we put up a fifty-cent size. which is enough for an ordinary cough or cold or useful as a trial for babies and children. In other conditions the gain is slower-health cannot be built up in a day. In such cases Scott's Emulsion must be taken as nourishmcnt; a food rather than a medicine. It's a food for tired and weak disestions.

A SEAMAN's TERRIBLE
EXPERIENCE IN OPEN BOAT

Four days without food or water, and
the boat rocking idly on Il molten sea.
Overhead the sun poured down with tho
resistless Intensity of the tropics. There
was not a breath of air stirring, tho
only motion boing he slow, long heavc
of tho ocean swell, which kept the
hoat gently moving up nnl down.. The
two men, utterly Exhausted and famished,
had dropped their oars in sheer weak
ness, and now gazed at each other with
the strange va cant stare of coming In
sanity. Both We're haggard from long
continued slenplessness and over-exertion,
and 1t was only by the utmost effo't
that they could keep their seats. Their
eyes bulged, and their parched tongues
Drptr,lded from their blackcned lips.
Tn one of those sudden and unforeseen
hurricanes that often rise IN the South
seas their ship had gone down, and with
two others they had MANAGED to 'outlive
the storm in a small open boat. The
other two men lad succumbed two days
before. and their bodies had made food
for the sharks that followed over after
the frnil craft, waiting for the human
morsels that must soon be theirs
The sun continued to pour down with
relentless ferocity the RAYS beating piti-
lessly on their uncovered heads, and me
boat still rocked rocked, as ~ 1t would
neyor cease, Look where they wollu
there was not sail to be seen on the
CLASSY sea, and presently one of the men
sank into a half coma. The other cons
.tinled to gaze round hin, with Wild,
blood shot eyes. utterng harsh curses
from his half-closed mouth on the fate
that had placed him in such a living
hell, He tried to lick his tongue; but
