THE JUG.
Tillman Comes to the Aid Of the
Prohihitionists.

AlA4man ZONES TO bne Ala OF tne
Prohibitionists.
Senator Tillman of South Caro-
lima has introduced a bill in the
United States Senate, which if il
becomes a law will very materially
aid prohibitory State legislation In
regard TO admitting liquor into
States where the State laws inter
dict its sales.
Mr.. Tlllman first introduced this
resolution.
ssBe it resolved:
'That the Committee on Inter
state Commerce be instructed to
consider and report by bill or
otherwise what legislation is de-
sirable or necessary to enable the
States, in the exercise of their po-
lice powers, to control the COM
merce of liquor and all alcoholic
beverages within their borders, so
as to aid the cause of temperance
and TO prevent the encouragement
by the United States Government
of illicit d 9 II n g in the same.
However after discussing the mat
ter it developed that the resolution
had some features that would not
stand constitutional test and af-
ter consulting with Senator Knox
and other Senators Tillnan asked
leave to introduce the bill out of
the regular order and it was re-
ferred to the Committee of Judic-
iary.
The bill as now drawn up pro-
vides that liquors upon their ar
rival in a State before or after
their delivery to the consignee,
shall be subject to the operation Of
the laws of the State and to its po-
lice powers as if such liquors had
been produced within the State.
Senator Tillman may be depend
ed upon to leave no stone unturned
to have an effective bill passed to
protect prohibition States from
the inroads of the liquor shippers,
and it goes without saying that if
he starts fight he will wage it to
the finish.
Mr.. Tillman has had considera-
BILE experience in legislation of this
nature from the difficulty that was
found in hisown State of enforc- |
ing the dispensary law, but he is
earnest, as he usually is, and we
may expect him to exhibit some
thing of the energy that he has
shown in his discussion of the race
question.
twill exhibit him in a new
light and the temperance people
are doubtless delighted that South |
Carolina's redoubtable Senator has
set his pitch fork in rest to help
them fight the prohibition battle.

WORSE THAN ONIONS.
Bad Breath From Indigestion Cannot
Be Overcome With Perfumes.

All of us suffer with bad breath
sometimes our own, but oftener that
Of our friends.
Nine-tenths OF this bad breath comes
from some stomach trouble, and can
not be overcome by breath perfumes
or any other palliative measures.
If you occasionally have a bad
breath; If there is heartburn, flatu-
lence and acid gulpings of undigested
food; If there is sleeplessness, nerv-
business, headaches or any other of the
many symptoms of indigest tion, use
Mi-o-na stomach tablets and get we'll.
Mi-o-na is not mere digestive nor
a physic, but tonic remedy that
strengthens the muscles of the stom-
ach and bowels so that the flow Of
gastric juices is decreased, and the
food is digested naturally and does
not stay in the stomoch to ferment
and poison the breath.
The Red Cross Pharmacy have seen
so many made by Mi.o-na stom-
ach tablets that they give guaran-
tee with every 50-cent box that the
money will be refunded if the remedy
fails to give satisfaction. They take
the whole risk, and box of Mi-o-na
will not cost you a penny unless it

NAVAL SPORES REyIEw.

Savannah, Aug. --(Special. )-Though the receipts at the port were appreciabiy smaller and buying was general at all 'times spirits of turpentine in the past week through well directed bearish manip- ulation was forced downward to 55c per gall Ion the lowest value touched in the sen- son. On Wednesday August 21) turpen- tine opened firm at 5Sc a net loss of a full cent and aHhan.
 That spirits of turpentine should have been forced so low was net really believed by the trade In fact there was no very substantial reason to force prices off 20 rapidly but even in the face of the statis- tical strength which should sway prices those interests which were directly re- sponsible for the decline through active bearing threatened to put prices yet lower In fact there was well directed effort to cause further loss at the final call yester- day. but this attempt was temporarily frus- trted by the factors refusing to accept lower than official board values.
 The receipts yesterday were 1,254 casks; week 6,22S; month 21.350 and with a total of 105,442 casks for the season.
 The exports were: Thursday 4s7; week 4.S49; month 1S,S9S; season S5,916 The total for same period 3.014 casks and with a stock on hand of 25.S S95 casks.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Aug. 2s.-The buying of stocks which advanced prices today came. very largely, from professional operators left short by preceding bear operations during the period of declining prices. The ad- vance was helped on by another element amongst the professionals. which sought profit out of the necessities of their fellow traders who were short. The market was. in that sense. narrow and professional, and 1t was not commonly held opinion that there was any large amount of buying of stocks by large investors or by spectators of the class which makes the tone of mar kets. Nevertheless the movement was re- garded as strong evidence of a betterment in financial sentiment Not so much the volume and the character of the buying as the significant subsistence of the selling was considered. Without any notable event to mark a change in conditions the profession al traders whose occupation 1t Is to feel the lines of least resistance. find that prices no longer yield easily without meeting some commensurate demand in recessions.
 Considerable advances in bids are requisite to secure needed supply by the uncovered shorts as witnessed in today's advances. but there is wide agreement as to the extent of the still uncovered short interest and the corresponding further advance in prices which their demands may cause but there Is very general agreement in the con viction that any substantial demand for stocks which may have been in evidence at the low levels Is not prepared to follow i'm mediately precipitate advance.
 The betterment in sentiment is still con fined to the feeling that causes of active weakness have been relieved.
 More cheerful views of the financial out. look were held abroad also. and revival of the investment buying of securities was reported there as well here.
 There were weak spots in the bond mar ket. Total sales par value s1,504,0 900. Unit ed States bonds were unchanged on call.

With the approach of Septem- Der the elements have an unfavorable effect upon any species of vegetation particularly upon the cotton plant. and if the drought should extend into September and spread over the northern part of Texas. there will be more ground for apprehension over the possibilities of very short yield west of the Mississippi river than there Is today as the deterioration on account of the Septem- her drought of that year having been Is Il points.
 According to the Southwestern Cotton Buyers Association. the condition of the Texas crop suffered loss of 15 points dur ing tho past month, the general average of the state being placed at the low figure of eo vs. 75 last month and S2 last year. This Is a very poor showing for state that produced one-third of the entire crop of last year.
 A part of MT Habersham Kings crop record of August 25th. says; Couple such heat as this with the practically total ab- sence of moisture and the season presents the most unfavorable developments the Tex as crop has undergone in the seven years I have been keeping the weather records"
 In a like manner he dwells upon condi- tions in Oklahoma and in the Indian Terri tory. whilst for Arkansas. he pictures the outlook as being but little better. Today's report of The New York Journal of Com merce states that reports from Louisiana are conflicting and that it Is doubtful if the state as a whole. will show any material progress for the past month. Concerning Mississippi. The Journal says some sections suffered from drought and that shedding Is frequently reported, but taking the state all over. a slight improvement since last month is quite possibility. The crop in both states is said to be two or three weeks late, small but strong.
 American markets close on Friday to re- main closed until the following Tuesday, Sc 1rd und aoT xrtll issue the August crop condition report and the census returns on quantity of cotton gin ned to September 1st. higher levels are looked for. both reports promising to be bullish, perhaps very much so Receipts of new cotton at Houston to date 24,846 vs. s9, ,491 last year.

 The wheat market opened weak because Of heavy selling by commission houses which was based upon lower cables and the large accumulation of wheat in this city of con tract grade Elevator interests made an especial point of pounding the September option. Later the markets rallied on re- ports that the Canadian Northwest had experienced another freeze and statements that the Russian wheat crop was distinctly disappointing. After hardening somewhat on these reports. the market eased off on statements that the export demand had ceased and then ralled again on the denial of this report The market found support on all sharp declines. and the bears sold readily on every bulge. During the latter part of the day. the market see-saw affair, the range however. being narrow. The close was easy
 September opened %c to 1Mc lower at s9Sc to DOC. sold between s9%c and 91hc and closed at e0Ac.
 The corn market today opened weak on general selling by commission houses. The same interest that sold heavily at the out set boughtkon the decline and prices rallied sharply. The greater part of the early loss was recovered. but the market closed easy and hc lower.

Senator DOster Again Has Honor (
 Marketing First Bale.


 PrattvilIe. August 2S.-(Special)-- Senator H. s. Doster is first again this year to bring a bale of new cot ton to market, bringing 1t this morn- ing. This is about two weeks later than the first bale last year, and he calls your correspondents attention to another difference. He received last year up to the first of September about twenty bales; he will not get more than one more this year by the first of September.
 Senator poster has brought the first bale of cotton to this market for sev-' season. He says the crop is yet from two to four weeks late this year. This new bale of cotton was stored with the PrattviIle Cotton Mills.
 Professor D. N. Darrow of Lake Charles, La. is here and will give talk to farmers at the court house to- morrow on the subject of practical farming.
 Professor Barrow Is with the Fed eral government and spends his time In an effort trying to get farmers to practice what has been proved many times over at the experiment stations of the country. He says the farmers are taking to the idea rapidly since they have begun to put the informa- ton learned at the experiment stations in practice. He claims 1t puts money in the pockets of the farmer by giv- ing him an increased yield, and that he needs no better incentive to action than that
 Mir. Barrow calls attention to the fact that the Federal government will not try to furnish seed to plant next year. It will simply direct the fertil- izing and culivating. There are some five or six farmers in this section of this county this year who have fol- lowed the direction of the government agent and the result is more than sat isfactory to the farmers as well as to the agent on duty for this section.
 Professor J. D. Lane has arrived with his family and is ready to begin his school work as superintendent on September g, when the next session of the Prattville Academy and graded school will commence nine months session.

 New Orleans. Aug. 2s.--The market main tains very strong undertone as a result of the continuance of the dry, hot weather in Texas and other sections of the south west, notably Arkansas and the Territories and there is no doubt of higher levels being reached in the future unless the drought stricken sections be relieved by generous well distributed rains.
