Southerners Excited
~ Over Cooper's Cures.

There seems to be no let-up in the
excitement over the remarkable
cures iof stomach trouble and rheu-
matism that L. T. Cooper, the young
philanthropist, is effecting with his
medicines.
His work in New Orleans for the
past few weeks has been creating
wide attention in that section of the
country. On the streets, in hotels
and other public places Cooper IS
cures are the sole topic Of converse
ton. He is discussed everywhere,
and the newspapers contain daily re-
ports. of his cures. A number of
startling cases have been cited and
the names of the most prominent
citizens have appeared in connection,
which fact seems to verify the truth
of the reports.
e In an interview with Mr.. J.. T..
Russell, a well-known business man
Of New Orleans, living at 1888 Della
chaise street, who is reported as hav-
ing been cured of Rheumatism with
the new medicines, he said: cit is
true that I have been wonderfully
benefited by Cooper IS New Discovery
medicine in very severe case Of
Sciatic rheumatism, from which I
suffered for some time. I have used
Cooper's medicines one week and the
results have been truly marvellous.
Before that time / was almost help
less, and now / can use the afflicted
parts freely without the least pain.
The swelling and soreness disap-
peared soon after I began using the
treatment and now I am improving
every day."

his experience. He was enthusiastic
in his praise of Cooper and said: "I

proves their efficiency.

Third-If contracts entered into are fair,
free from fraud and in the interests and for
the benefit Of the corporation, they are valid.
Fourth-Findings Of the trial court to the
effect that respondents as directors of the cor
poration whose affairs are here involved In In
solvency proceedings, became obligated to and
paid certain valid existing debts of the corpora
ton and are entitled to reimbursement. Held,
sustained by the evidence.
,Fifth-The evidence is not conclusive that
the debts so paid arose from unlawful transac.
lions sanctioned by the directors as such, nor
that the payment was voluntary, within the
rules Of law applicable TO- such payments.
Sixth-Respondents who were directors, paid
certain debts of the corporation In question for
which the latter CAV them its pronissory notes

failed to pay the notes, and an action was
brought against 1t to recover thereon, In which
judgment was duly rendered for the full amount

CLOSE THE GAME SEASON.

This paper last year took the lib
erty OF urging on the Boards OF SUI
pervisors of the various counties the
urgent necessity Of protecting part
ridges, pheasants and turkeys by
closing the open season. and the sev-
eral boards acting on the suggestion
and on their own knowledge OF the
situation took prompt action. We
urge them to do likewise this year.
The Legislature unwisely made the
open season from Nov. LIST 10 Feb.

facts in regard TO the scarcity OF
game knows is from a month to a
month and a half too long Game.

keys, is painfully scarce in the sur
rounding counties and Orange coun-
ty has already acted, closing the sea
son Dec. LIST. We, therefore. most
respectfully urge upon the boards OF
Spotsylvania. Stafford, kim George
aud arOllue, aud IN Tact m those 81
all the counties in this section. to
pass resolutions closing the season
by Dec. 10Th, if possible. and Ger
tsinly not later than Jan. lSt. The
month OF January is generally a
most severe one and the birds have
trouble ffriding enough to eat and
protecting themselves from the army
OF hawks always lowering near. with
out having to be in constant danger
OF huntsmen. January may be SAID
also to be the month OF thepot hunt
ers and unless the supervisors take
action there will be few partridgeS
left next season. We earnestly urge
them to close the season now as
early as possible and at the same
time to seriously consider the advis-
ability OF Offering bounty for hawk
scalps. These birds are playing
havoc with the partridges and some
thing should be done to eXtermlnate
them. 1t is sad to see the game in
this section yearly decreasing. and 1t
behooyes the authorities to do all in
their power to put an end to this
condition. Close the season, gentle
men, and protect the birds as the
cold weather approaches.
