Treasury Makes Good Showing.

Treasury Makes Good Showing.
The report of the operations of the
United States treasury department for
the month Of July. the first of the fiscal
year, shows a gratifying reduction of
the deficit which is always anticipated
for this particular month by reason of
the many appropriations which become
available at the beginning of the new
fiscal year. The deficit this year was
$1O,9O1, $50 us compared with $13,51l.-
lat for the same month last year. The
customs receipts showed IN increase
of over 50. 10000. while the income
from internal revenue was about $780,
600 above that for July, 1906.
eattIeship Tests Big Dry Dock.
The new concrete dry dock at the
League Island navy yard, Philadelphia,
received it's first government test July
81, when the 11,OOO ton battfeship
Kearsarge was successfully locked.
This dock is 754 feet long and 14O feet
wide, being the largest in the United
States and one of the largest in the
world. It's cost was $1.500,OO0.
Our Big Stock Of Gold.
Retiring Director of the Mint George
E. Roberts, who has for a number of
years been conducting an inquiry for
the purpose of verifying the treasury
estimates of the stock of gold In the
United States. gives it as his conclu-
sion that the amount of gold coin and
bullion now in the United States treas
ury and the banks and in circulation
amounts to S1.464,S45,2SO.
Government Charters Alien Ship.
Owing to it's inability to secure suf-
Gent ships of American registry to
handle the heavy freight and passen-
ger traffic to the isthmus of Panama.
the United States government has been
obliged to lease the British steamer
Dunottar Castle for service i'll connec-
ton with the Panama Railway and
Steamship company, although the navi-
cation laws forbid the use Of foreign
bottoms in coastwise trade in the case
of individuals or corporations. The
heavy freight traffic incident to the
transportation of food supplies for the
canal employees is said to have neces-
STATED this action on the part of the
government.

sion of the legislature. 1t had been
reached only after The state author
tiles had resumed the prosecution Of
ticket agents, and had arrested Presi-
dent Finley of the Southern. Follow
ing the reversal Of the federal order,
the Southern gave notice in the SUI
preme court at Raleigh that it ap-
pealed from the $4,000 fine. Gov
ernor Glenn, seeing that the law was
duly recognized, ordered the judges
to stop all prosecutions of the rail
roads, saying that when they obey
the law the railroads are entitled to
protection. The Atlantic Coast line
had also Joined in the agreement, and
other lines are expected to follow suit.
President Finley of the Southern said
later that the "a cent rate had been
resisted because it was confscatory
and that the railroad had yielded it's
clear right in the interests of peace
and amity. Mr.. Finley had been
promptly released upon a habeas T
pus writ issued by Judge Pritchard.
In a message to the people of the
state Governor Glenn said: at is a
great victory for state rights against
federal interference. 1t will teach
utility corporations that while the
state will treat them fairly it will not
tolerate their trying to control the
state. I never defied the federal pow
er. as has been stated, but simply
tried to carry out the law as l saw
1t under the constitution" Governor
Conner of Alabama warmly congratu-
lated Governor Glenn upon the stand
he had taken.
Fourth Trial of Caleb Powers.
At Georgetown, Ky. Caleb Powers
for the fourth time has been placed on
trial for conspiracy to effect the muir
der of the late Governor Goebel.
Judge ]. f. Robbins, who presided at
the preceding trial of Powers and who
was designated by Governor Beckham
for the present trial, was accused in
an affidavit by Powers of having
ruled unfairly in the former trial and
of holding prejudice against the de-
PENDANT on account of his political af-
filiations. Judge Robbins, while de-
claring that the allegations against
him We're utterly untrue. gave notice
that he would vacate the bench. This
caused an adjournment indefinitely
for c%ertification of the fact to the gov
ernor.
Powers appeared to be in perfect
physical condition despite his long
confinement. as he has taken vigorous
exercise regularly and given great at
tention to his personal appearance.

Two Fine Strawberries.

One of the best of the newer straw
berries is the Senator Dunlap, says an
Ohio man in American Cultivator. 1t
is Il very early kind and keeps in bear
ing long enough to be classed also as
a midseason variety. 1t is as reliable
and productive as the Haverland and
has Il good color and pleasant flavor.
The Dunlap and a good late kind like
the Granville make Il fine team for the
strawberry grower. An important
practical point is to put on straw
enough for mulch and winter protec-
tion to last until the bearing season
and keep the berries clean.

Pursuant to an agreement reached
between Governor Glenn of North
Carolina and the Southern railway,
counsel for the corporation presented
revised petitions to Judge Pritchard
Of the federal circuit court asking for
a modification of his original injunc-

ending a deadlock which had lasted
nearly two weeks and had threatened
to involve the clash of state and e d

WEED CROPS.
Many Different Kinds That Germinata
In Succession.

Every successful farmer finds that
he must assert his mastery III no un-
certain way over the weeds. these
rebels of the vegetable world, or they
will work havoc in his little domain
and eventually his undoing.
The battle with them must be fought
INCREASINGLY, for they are constantly on
the watch to take advantage Of every
opportunity, remarks a writer in Amer
lean C@ultivator. We'll fight it out
right here if it takes all summer

to the weed crop.
A Great Variety. ~"
The great difficulty is that Il great
many give up the fight with the weeds
altogether too soon. Their first attacks
are fierce and spirited enough, but
they soon grow Indifferent and aban-
don them altogether. Now, the fact
is that weeds are of a great many diff
ferent varieties, which seem to be de-
signed to terminate at different sea-
sons, one species following on the
heels Of another, occupying the ground
as soon as their predecessors have
ripened their seeds. The result is that
wedding, vigorous at first, but soon
abandoned, leaves the way open and
unobstructed for the later varieties to
flourish unhampered, and so they are
never conquered or reduced, but their
reign is more firmly established from
year to year. .E
On UncuItivated Fields.
Then, again, many who WELD the hoe
vigorously are altogether too careless
in their dealing with the weeds outside
of the cultivated fields, allowing them
to flourish unrestrainel about the ma
nure heap all summer and scatter their
seeds broadcast upon it, to be advan-
tageously planted when it is drawn
out and strewn upon the fields i'll the
spring.

Womble Bros. of That Place Are Advestising New Town at Present Terminus of Gurdon

Circulars are being sent out by Womble Bros. of Black Springs that will be of interest to many citizens of Meua. They adver- .ise a new townsite at the present terminus of the Gurdon & Fort Smith Northern railroad, some two miles from Black Springs. The new town will be called Womble.
 The work on this railroad, which was expected 10 be built into Bllck Springs, was recently discontinued at a point some two miles from that place, and it is the intent of the promoters of the enterprise 10 show tn. there is no immediate intent 10 extend he road to Black Springs, aud that arrangements are heinz made to make the present t.rmi nus the end of the line for at least some time to come, If not permanently.
 Such q result would of neces- sity be a serious se,-back 10 the plans of those who depended upon he road to make Black Springs the metropolis and business cen- ter of Montgomery county.

 Sc many false formulas and malicious statements concerning his medicines had been published through the con nivance of jealous competitors and dis gruntled doctors, that Dr. Pierce deter mined to completely disarm his assail-. ants by full and frank statement of their exact composition, verifying the same under oath as complete and cor rect. This he has done and to the complete discontinue of those who had assailed his good name as well as the well-earned reputation of his world famed medicines.
 Not only does the wrapper of every bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the famous medicine for weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious ness and all catarrhal diseases wherever located, have printed upon it, CD ploi,. English, a full and complete list of all the ingredients composing 1t, but a small book has been compiled from numerous standard medical works, of all the different schools of practice, containing very numerous extracts from the writings of leading practitioners of medicine, endorsing 70 the strongest possible terms, each and every ingred- lent c0ntdlfieu III DF.

Y., and requesting the same From this booklet it will be learned that Dr. Pierce's medicines con tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral agents or other poisonous or injurious agents and that they are made from native, medicinal roots of great value; also that some of the most valuable in- credients contained in Dr. Pierce's Fa- yorite Prescription for weak, nervous, over-worked, rundown nervous and debilitated women, were employed, long wears ago by the Indians for similar ailments affecting their squaws. In fact. one of the most valuable medic inal plants entering into the compost ton of Dr. Pierce's Fayorite Prescrip- ton was known to the Indians as Souaw-Weed.
