men they were dealing with; they knew of their history and they stood by the Lovelaces. If they had not done so. this story would not be told. They not | only won the confidence of their busi- ness creditors, but several times during
 the dark days of 1894, they carried away from one of the leading banks of South Alabama sums ranging from $20.000 to | 10000, without even leaving a scrap of paper behing them. Their business had
 to go on. and for 1t to go on they had
 to have money. They got it. The Lovelace Lumber Company is but one of the several great corpora | tions of It's kind in Escambia County. It is the most important of the Love- lace industries as it includes more than 100000 acres of timber lands, saw mills. and millions of feet of lumber. The brothers established the Escambia Mer- cantile Company which conducts an im- | mense store In Brewton, the largest | store in Brewton. in fact. It is in no sense a commissary.
 Speaking of this branch of his busi-
 ness, Ed Lovelace. who is President of the Mercantile Company. showed his | spirit of fairness and justice, the spirit which characterizes the successful, self made man of affairs.
 "I went among our men," said MT. | Lovelace, and I told them: We've got | store down there m BreWton ana we q | like to have your patronage. You get your money every Saturday. They ] ought to sell you as good values as | cheap as any store in Brewton. If | they don't do 1t, go elsewhere T believe" he added, "in paying a
 man well for an honest hard days work
 and 1t Is his right to spend 1t when,
 where and as he chooses
 Individually, the Lovelace brothers are interested in many other enter prises. One of them has just built a
 modern hotel. which reflects credit on | the town. They have contributed to
 the water plant. the electric plant and
 other enterprises. They also own much
 valuable real estate In Brewton. which,
 by the way, brings a good, stiff city | price.
 Put yourself In debt; then pay the debt, but never get entirely out of debt. Buy something worth having. Dor. t

WITH Mr.. Roosevelt absolutely
declining denomination, the re-
publicans are said to be at loss for
suitable candidate. While the
president himself and some of his
nearest supporters are openly in
favor of tariff revision, the most
probable candidates for the nomina-
ton are distinctly of the stand
pat variety of republicans. At
the same time the president and
his policies are so immensely
popular with the rank and file of
his party, that it is hardly likely
that any of his probable successors
for leadership, differing so greatly
from him on various important
questions as they do at present,
will arouse much enthusiasm among
the voters. In fact, the main
strength of the republican party,
with Roosevelt out of the running,
undoubtedly lies chiefly in the
weakness and disorganization of
the democrats. Were the latter
effectively organized, with strong
and popular leader at their head,
they would stand the best possible
chance of carrying the next cleo

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhafned con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is inAam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

10 INDUCE n11GRAE0N.

TO INDUCE LJZ1zIGRATZON.
A ST. Louis passenger agent has
devised a novel plan to continue
immigration promotion in the
Southwest.
The extensive colonization sys-
TEN employed by immigration
agents viii no longer be available
after January 1, when the railroad
rate law becomes effective. In
consequence of immigration agents
work never having been declared a
regular function of railway bust
ness operation, but looked upon as
a side issue, the entire promotion
of immigration ceases for want of
means to push it, namely, free
transportation.
Under the proposed plan. imrni-
grants who have settled in the
southwest will be asked to send
letters to their original homes in
foreign countries. These COM
munications will be descriptive of
the advantages enjoyed by the
southwest.
That the plan may be simpli6ed
for the settlers, the letters and cir
cular matter will be prepared
under date of each town by the.
advertising bureau of the railways.
They viii treat in an attractive
manner of the opportunities for
men of industry who want to
found homes for their families.
Conditions of the climate, what
the soil produces in proportion to
the effort put forth, cost of living
and other details important to the
immigrant will be prepared in an
intelligent way SO that it may be
easily comprehended.
That portion of southwestern
settlers derived from the tide of
immigration will bereached through
addresses in possession of the pres
ent land ana immigration agents
and through the station AGENTS. of
railways. The plan will be watched
with much interest, since it gives
promise of accomplishing results
equally as important as those secur-
ed under the system about to be
abrogated. It may be pronounced
successful if it yields half the
results.

the extreme pleasure of announc-
ing the debut of the Kingsville
Herald under the auspices of Ben
Harris, than whom Texas has not
produced better newspaper man
nor one who has done more good,
hard work in that field. Today
we have to report with an amount
of sorrow equal to our former
pleasure the death of Ben. He
was a good newspaper man, good
fellow, and good citizen. In his
death the newspaper fraternity
loses a good member and every
one who knew Ben loses a friend.
