CATARRH A GERM DISEASE
Breathe Air Medicated by Hyomei and
 Kill the Germs.

Now that physicians and scientists universally agree that catarrh is a germ disease, the reason for the faiI- ure of the old-fashioned stomach dosing in this trouble Is readily seen.
 Prior to the discovery of Hyomei. n tre atment which cures catarrh by fill ing the air you breathe with germ killing and healing medication, sta tistics showed that at least ninety seven out of every hundred persons in this State were suffering from catarrh of some form. Although Hyomei has been known only a few years, the re- markable results following it's use arc shown by the much smaller percentage of those who suffer with catarrh today.
 The treatment with Hyomei is very simple and pleasant: a small inhaler comes with every outfit and three or four times day Myomei Is breathed through this, making the air at that time like that found on the mountains where the pine forests give off their fragrant and healing balsams.
 Used in this way Hyomei penetrateS t9 the most remote cells of the nose throat and lungs, absolutely killing all catarrhal germs and effecting a com plete and permanent cure of the d. sease.
 The complete outfit costs but one dol lar, while extra bottles can be obtain ed for 90 cents. MT. Fowler has seen such remarkable results from the use of HyOmei that he sells 1t under an ah- solute guarantee that 1t costs noth- ing unless 1t cures.
 If not convenient to obtain Hyomei of D. G. Fowler or some other druggist 1t VIII receipts of price. The R. T. Booth Co.,, Hyomei Building. Ithacas N. '

MODlle Register.
 The name here written is a household word in Mobile, and the man who boro 1t was the familiar friend of at least half of our population. Full of years and of honors justly won he has gone to his eternal reward. As a physician he lived on intimate terms with our people, was the much loved and sincere ly trusted counsellor and helper in time of sickness and distress. AS citizen he was foremost in attention to civic duties, always on the si6e of honesty and efficiency, taking his part in poli- tics, to elevate and ennoble public ad- ministration. In the field of education he was active for the greater part Of his life. He helped organize the med ical college of this city, and was its intelligent head from the beginning all most to the day of his death, impart- ing to the students most valuable les sons from the great store of his learn ing and experience. In health and san itary matters he was strong tower, protecting the people from inroads of disease and doing all possible to im- prove the general sanitary condition. Many of his best years were consecrated to the work of obtaining an adequate supply of pure water for the use of the inhabitants, and it was due to hls initiative and effort that the Bienville water works was established here. the first modern plant in this city. In mem ory of this and of him. the fountain in the public square was dedicated and HIS HdIlc lnStilDCu AhSiSS't H7 N'AS founder of The water system.
 All this, however, is within the scope of every patriotic citizen and physician; but there was something greater in his composition, namely, bigness or heart and innate kindliness and courtesy. He was a gentleman in the full meaning of that term and, at all times and sea- sons, most considerate of every one, rich and poor. educated or ignorant It was this characteristic that made him beloved by all who knew him, and no person came into association with him who was not betterej thereby.

Letters to the Editor.
Clay County Court House.
Editor The Advertiser:

Editor The Advertiser:
 In today's Advertiser there appears a news item relative to Clay County Seat" in which 1t is stated that "al- though the work had already begun on the new temple at the former place as been halted pending the result of a petition recently raised by tine citi- zens of Lineville, asking that the Gov ernor appoint commissioners to hold an election to decide upon the location of a county seat"
 This statement is not true and tends to convey an erroneous impression to your readers. The work on the new result; on the contrary 1t is going right along. Said item further says: This petition, it is claimed, includes the names of more than half the voters in such Is the case. but any one who Is familiar with the county knows that said petition does not contain even half the names of the voters of the county. There are in round numbers $500 reg istered voters in Clay County, 50 that 1t is readily apparent that big reduc- ton can be made from this number, by reason of failure to pay poll taves, etc, and still have more than double the number of names on said petition-for by actual count there were 1,016 names on it; and many of these are names of persons who are not qualified voters
 FurtheFmorc II can De SnoWn that the petition in the Governors office is not the same as signed by the Voters-but lacks one clause or sentence. This has been removed after the signatures were secured, and before it was presented to the Governor. It is not known what is the source of your information, but it is very misleading to print such erro- neous items, so l ask that you publish this About 1900 names are signed to d petition asking the Governor not to call an election.
 Very respectfully,
 F. J. Garrison

fusion to his opponent deprecating his merit, or impeaching his sincerity.
 Mir. Conner followed Dr. Cunningham. introducing his remarks by q vuigar anecdote about the girl holding ner sweetheart until a late hour at night by sitting on him.
 Those present who followed MT. Co., mer through his rambling speech VIII agree with us in saying that he at tempted only to depreciate the doctors analysis of the departments of State, and having no policy of his own-un- less his forefront Is fixed directly or ernor. he took up an hour in an emort to underrate Cunningham's position, casting insinuatfons. and refecting in- nuendoes at the latter's record. some thing he could not assail; for, as his opponent showed, if was upon that that MT. Comer's candidacy for President of the Railroad Commission became pos sible, and the people were invested with commissioners, which they will do next November.
 MT. Conner Is entitled to degree of credit for an exhibition of mildness to, he calls an educational speech, made by him few weeks back, in which he arraigned them in most vindictive manner. Since that time he has had stretch of the fruit industry along the railroad lines, the truck farming inter- ests fnagnified into wondereful propor- tions--has looked upon whole counties onca barren, with the bloom of life and the color of the roses wealth, the great cities. in a word the magnificent de- velopment everywhere a track Is laid. and the increased facilities and conve- niences enjoyed by every community In the State. all the result or resultant effect of railroads which paysone-sixth of the taxes, perhaps in glaring. con- trast with the cotton mill industry which Mir. Conner represent which ac- tua1ly contributes nothing In support of the Government and its institutions, he has probably been forced to the con clusion that hls assaults on tho rail- roads are teo steep to be swallowed by the common people who are receiv- ing all their benefits from the rall- roads. and nothing from his cotton mill.
 His speech consisted mainly of !nu- endoes, suspicious and insinuations without foundations, in putting up straw men to amuse his audience In pulling them down and this he does by an attempt to make political creed for his opponent.
 MT. Conner is q shipper and any one could see that his patriotism for rate reduction has its inspiration Tn his own pocket with no mill taxes to pay, new income piled up from rate reduction, and child labor at his command. he ex- poets to build his fortune collosus high in double quick time.

Presidential Possibilities of 1908.


 It hardly seems possible that in about two years from this date the country will be upset again by the meeting or the national presidential conventions of two contending parties. From this time on, we will begin to hear more and more of the merits of the different candidates who may loom up on the hcrizon New ones appear and old ones disappear. 1t is semi officially an nounced that Secretary Taft is out Of the Presidential race, and that he will take a place on the bench of the United States Supreme Court early in the fall As Senators Foraker and Dick are now in political control of the State of Ohio, MT. Taft's resolution is an evidence or discration. He would hardly be able to control the national delegation from Ohio. if he sought it. In Iowa Cover nor Cummins is apparently checking the Presidential boom of Secretary Shaw .. iowa is a Republican State. and fac- tional fight in 1t would preclude the nomination of any Iowa candidate. New York also has a factional quarrel un- der headway, which may eliminate see retary Root from consideration. The West will, no doubt insist of naming inc candidate of the Republican Party, and the most promipent and most avail able man in sight In that direction Is the quiet gentleman from Indiana who now presides over the Senate or the United States, and who nolds a place that stands, in order of office, next to the Presidency itself.

Eyes on NIT. Conner.

Geneva Reaper.
 Just now The Reaper has both eyes on MT. Conner feeling that it can do no greater service to the State than to warn the people against his suc- cess. In doing this we shall appeal to their reason--shall endeavor to reach their conscience through their intelligence instead of pandering to and inhaming their prejudices in the absence of needed knowledge and in- formation. as Is attempted. In all controversy we depend upon facts. We are powerless without facts; or if facts be wanting and the matter be left to analysis, we are helpless without logic. So upon the logic of fact or upon the logic of conjecture or analysis we depend for the success of any contention; and of such fact and logic the reader Is the arbiter, He renders the verdict.
 Of all professions in the world the editor can least afford to attempt to deceive the people. He stands in the searchlight of public scrutiny. and dare not have any professional spots on him, thinking to pass the public eye. The demagogue Is equally yisi- ble to the scrutiny of the editorial eye, and sweeping the political territory with his field glass 1t Is the duty of the editor to tell the people what he sees. This the political province of The Reaper. But if you have any doubt as to the correctness of the ieditors eye sight, take your own glass and scan the object to which your attention has been directed and see If the description is not accurate.

The feverish activity displayed by Senator Deliver of Iowa, in trying to force through congress radical railway rate legislation is explained. He Is in danger of losing his seat. Governor Cummins and x-Congressman George D. Perkins are engaged in strenuous contest for the republican nomination for governor. It is a neck and neck struggle, with Cummins only twenty nine votes ahead at last accounts in a total of over 1000 delegates elected to the state convention Whoever wins the battle will be a strong candidate for the United States senatorship, and the chances are that one of them will be the next United States Senator from Iowa. MT. Deliver is naturally in an anxious state of mind.
