Do You Want to Know
What You Swallow ?

There is a growing sentiment In this
country in favor Of MEDICINES OF KNOWN
CoMPosITIoS. It is but natural that one
should have some interest in the compo-
sition Of that which he or she is expected
70 swallow, whether il be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add TO
the well-earned reputation Of his medi-
cines, DR. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y,
has ~taken time by the forelock," as it
were, and is publishing broadcast list
Of all the ingredients entering into his
leading medicines. the Golden Medical
Discovery the popular liver invigorator,
stomach tonic. blood purifier and heart
regulator: also Of his 'Favorite Preserip-
tiOn for weak, over worked, broken
down. nervous and invalid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement on
the part of DIR. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
are conn mpOsed of, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore un-
Justly attacked then. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities OF all the several
schools Of practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writer's
of the several ingredients which enter into
DIR. Pierce's medicines. A copy of this
little book is mailed free TO any one de-
string 70 learn more concerning the Ea!u-

SITUATION MISUNDERSTOOD.

AS to the losses in Santa Rosa the
situation there is entirely misunder-
stood. All solvent companies will pay
for losses there where the building or
any important part of it had not fallen
before the fire. We have paid several
such losses. Where the building or
any important part thereof fell no
company can pay the loss, as the pol
icy is void under the falling clause and
our stockholders would have cause for
action against any one who paid a loss
the company did not owe. About this
there is no doubt and all of the COM
panies are in the same position.
The possible losses of our companies
in San Francisco are as follows: Ger
man American. 1925. 900; Phoenix of
Hartford, $1,900,000; German Alliance,
100000; New Hampshire, $500. 600.
This makes a total of $6,e25,000 and the
surplus of these companies is $15,-
5s9,342. The payment of our San Fran
cisco losses will not take 25 per cent
of our assets.
According to Tyson the following
companies have subscribed to the New
York plan of adjustment. and as long
as they are solvent will settle upon that
basis.

WILL RUE THE DAY.
Senator Morgan Warns Congress
Against Abolishing jury Trials.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May TN
his speech on the railroad rate ques-
ton Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
said:
"This senate will rue the day when
it abolishes tria! by jury in the adju-
dication of the reasonableness of rates
of transportation by common carriers,
which everybody admits are unlawful
if they are not reasonable.
1.-The railroad magnates who abuse
the corporate powers granted them by
the people of the states, in imposing
burdens upon them that are too griev
Gus to be borne, could not ask a safer
retreat from the demands of justice,
or one that is more coveted by them,
than this measure furnishes them in
discarding and abOlishing all right
of the people to bring them to justice
before honest juries.
"Reserve to the people the full right
of jury trials and they will not, for
long, suffer injustice from those who
have sliced upon their railroads and
their charter powers and are using
them for their wrong and oppression.
The power to review, control or
controvert proceedings by mandamus
or by Injunction, SO thoroughly dis
cussed in this debate, is not given by
this bill to state courts, whose pow
ers are so buried under this avalanche
of legal lore urged in favor of it that
no regard is paid to them. They are
studiously ignored in the debate
and will never be heard Of in future,
because no right is left to any state to
protect its own citizens against any
injustice a national railroad commits
sion may inAlct upon them.
AS to the state railroad commits
Sions, they will be left in bucolic re-
pose, to wonder at the magic that has
given a paralytic stroke to all their
important official functions.

The most disastrous hail storm
in point of area covered and the
number of crops destroyed, that
this section has ever known oc-
Cured Friday afternoon.
The seething black cloud which
brought such widespread destruc-
ton was watched by hundreds of
people. 1t came from northerly
direction, and was accompanied by
a high wind and followed by one Of
the heaviest rains that ever fell
here.
1t is estimated that IN Terrell
county alone the growing crops on
10000 acres of land were wiped
out by the hail, entailing a loss OF
at least $4,000. .,
In almost every section hail
fell, and in many places did more
or less damage, but complete de-
struction marked the storm s course
from the western to the southeast
ern limits of the county. The path
of the storm was about four miles
wide, and it passed between Daw-
son and Herod, missing the city by
about half mile on the south. On
many farms not a sprig OF cotton
was left, and thousands OF acres

DIVISION Is NEARLY FULL.
The Southern Life Insurance Com
pany Has Made a Great Record.


The Southern Life Insurance Com.
pany expects to complete the Terrell
County Division in the course OF a
couple of weeks. The actual member
ship to date is 915 policies, leaving
only IS more to be written before the
limit of 1000 policies have been is
sued. SO far there has not been a
death in this division, and owing to
the care used in the selection of its
risks The Southern Life is sure to ex-
perience a very low death rate.
Messrs. S. A. Loyless, L. c. Hoyl
and D. c.. Pickett are the men who
have produced this great amount Of
business in the short time of three
months, and they state that while
there are some few people who live in
Terrell county they have not seen
they have tried to see them all and
will do so before filling the division
if it is possible, If, however, any of
our readers have 4Iot yet applied for
a policy and want one they had best
not wait to be called on, but should
see one of these gentlemen at once and
file their application.
The great success OF The Southern
Life goes to prove that our people
are as capable of managing their in
surance affairs as they are their other
business, and it will not be long be"
fore the people of our entire state are
protected by policy in this great
home company. New divisions will
soon be opened in adjoining counties,
new agenGs will be employed, and the
business will be rapidly spread over
the entire south. Dawson is proud to
have this great company located in
it's midst backed, as it is, by home
capital, managed by home people and
protecting people at home at the lowest
DOsSible cost.

COTTON ACREAGE REDUCEDq
There Is Diversity of Opinion on the
Subject Here.

They are beginning to figure on
the cotton acreage, and there is a
diversity of opinion as to whether
it has been reduced or increased.
Some contend that there is an in
crease in the acreage this year Of
as much as 20 to % per cent, while
others insist that it is not altogeth-
er as large as it was in 1905.
The probability is that there is
very little difference one way or the
other. This is certainly true in
Terrell county. Labor is scarce
here, and for that reason not as
much cotton has been planted as
otherwise would have been.
Some farms are not being cultl-
waited at all on account of inability
to secure hands, and The News has
heard of a fifteen-mule farm on
which only one pillow is in opera
ton.

PARIS, Dec. 19.-Madame Could the
former Countess de Castellane, has been
victorious in the suits brought by creditors
and money lenders against her with the
object of making her Jointly responsible
with the count for the latter's debts
Thirteen OF the fifteen cases we're dis
missed today by the court with costs
against the plaintiffs.
Only in the cases of two art dealers did
the court express the opinion that Nine
Gould should be held responsible, as the
objects purchased in these instances for
the most part are still In her possession.
There are sul three cases to be passed
upon. In dismissing the thirteen suits the
court held that the plaintiffs had failed to
prove that the debts were contracted for
the common benefit of the count and
countess. The latter, the court declared,
had more than fulfilled the obligations un-
der her marriage contract During her
welded life she had retained nothing for
herself her entire revenue being collected
by her husband and employed according to
his own admission, either for the house
hold expenses or for the payment Of his

trustees held yesterday by the New York

begin probably early next week. The board
OF Inspectors Of each company has secured
the services Of expert accountants. who
will have charge Of the counting and tab

firms have been employed by the two COM
panies. Before the actual work begins
representatives Of each Of these firms will
consult together with a view Of perfecting
a system for canvassing the votes.
When the count begins both sides will
have regularly commissioned watchers
present and ballots and proxies which are
considered fraudulent or Illegal will be
duly challenged. Undoubtedly a large num-
Der Of duplicate ballots have been cast in

held in either company more than one
policy have cast a vote on each policy. al

Of the proxies are made out In foreign
languages.
The result of the elections still seem to
be In doubt. Both the administration
forces and the international policyholders'
committee are declaring that they have

officers OF the New York Life have not
reduced a particle their estimate OF a vic
tory for the present management by plu-

from 5000 to 1900
