MANY GUINEA PIGS DIED.
Experiment in Search of a Spotted
Fever Cure.

Chicago, Aug. IA dispatch to the
Inter-Ocean from New York says:
Details were received yesterday of the
cerebro spinal meningitis serum ana
anti-serum discovered by DR.. Simon
F'lexner of the Rockefeller institute
for medical research and used sue
cessfully in Cleveland in the treat
ment of the disease which killed many
children in the epidemic in New York
two years ago.
Professor Flexner made his discov-
cry by means of experiments on mon
keys and guinea pigs.
His first experiments on guinea pigs
were made with goats serum. A fe-
male goat had been injected twice
with cultures from several sources of
the meningitis germs-diplococci-
within a period of two weeks
BY using large injections the doctor
saved the pigs. When the goat which
had been infected with meningitis died
the serum obtained from 1t was found
to have both preventive and curative
properties.
The serum from monkeys protected
guinea pigs from what otherwise
would have been a fatal dose of the
meningitis germs.
On the whole the immune serum
saved more guinea pigs than the nor
NAL serum. The serum of an infect
ed horse also rendered the guinea pigs
immune. Dr. Flexner got an anti
serum from rabbits which, if injected
had high protective
properties against the disease A con-
siderable number of guinea pigs were
killed by meningitis in the course of
the experiments.

new CURE EaR CANCER.
Woman Receivers After Being Bitten
by a RattIespaI1c.

Chicago, Aug. IA special dis
patch to the Inter-Ocean from Port
Jervis. n. Y, says
A remarkable cure of cancer has
been effected on Mrs. Wilhelmina LODI
wig, a farmers wife. L.
Mrs. Lodwig has suffered of a can
Ger on the left leg just above the knee
for long time While out picking
huckleberries two weeks ago she was
bitten on the ankle by rattlesnakes.
Her nephew. Karl Lodwig. came to her
assistance and killed three rattle
snakes. The woman's leg had swelled
to an enormous size, but the swelling
did not go above the cancer.
The cancer, which had always had
the appearance of ink, fringed with
red, turned into a running sore.
1t remained in this condition for
four days. On the fourth day the dis
charge stopped and proud flesh began
to make it's appearance. The snake
poison had worked all through the
cancer, the swelling disappeared and
the heretofore ugly-looking cancer
began to heal and turned to healthy
flesh color.
Last Thursday the wound began to
heal and yesterday Mrs. Ludwig was
in town, almost cured.

LARGEST ENGINE IN THE WORLD
1t VIII Haul Loaded Train a Mile
and a Half Long.

New York. Aug 1.-THE largest
steam locomotive in the world is about
to be turned out from the plant of the
American Locomotive company at
Schenectady for the Erie railroad. 1t
will haul on grades a train of loaded
cars mile and a half long without the
aid of helpers. Its weight is 413, 900
pounds. The engine is in reality two
engines under one boiler. 1t has four
cylinders. The engine is designed for
pusher service and will operate on the
Susquehanna hill between Susquehan-
ma and Gulf Summit pass.
While the hauling capacity of these
enormous engines is more than double
that the heaviest freight engine now
in service on the road. the load on
any single pair of driving wheels is
less than that of many of. the ordinary
road engines of the present day. In
view of this fact the advantages offer
ed by this type of the concentrat ton
of power in a single unit are readily
recognized.

THINKS THE CROP IS

Com, Hudson is Certain of
100000 SHORT OF LAST YEAR
Bad Stands and Poor Condition of
Growing Crop Induces the Belief
That Output Will Be Con-
SiderdbIy Reduced.
100000 SHORT OF LAST YEAR

'There has been some slight i'm
provement in the cotton stands in
Southern and Southwest Georgia, and I
am informed, over the state generally
within the last ten days or two weeks, -
Commissioner of Agriculture 7. G..
Hudson said yesterday. THE stands
arei looking healthier and stronger
wherever | have been, but the improve
ment has by no means been sufficient to
overcome any great part of the damage
early in the season. The yield is bound
to suffer as result clearly bad weather.
whatever favorable conditions the crop
may experience for the rest of the sea-
son. There was a large amount of re-
planting necessltated by the April
frosts, and in many instances inferior
seed had to be used for lack of any,
thing else. Then many negro planters
did not replant at all where their crops
were only partially affected, owing to
the expense. These two facts alone
will make a material difference in the
final outcome, and I believe the Geor-
gia crop will be 200, 600 bales or more
below last years record The reports
from all parts of the state indicates that
the cotton which escaped the spring
freezes is at least two weeks late; where
rJplanting was necessary, it is four
weeks or more behind.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intiamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachain Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
mes is the result, and unless the in
fammatiOn can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal cond1-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

PAYMENT OF TAXES TO

A Default for Three
Years
DENIES ONE A RIGHT OF BALLOT
Mr.. Hall of Bibb viii Introduce Such
Measure in LegiSIature---Other
Features of the Hall
Bill.
DENIES ONE A RIGHT OF BALLOT

Hon. Joseph H. Hall, of Bibb, will at
the approaching season of the Iegis-
lature introduce a bill which will have
for its purpose the disfranchisement of
all voters who are in default for the
space of three years in the payment of
taxes. The bill will be in the shape of
an amendment to the constitution of
Groegia.
1t will provide that all persons who
are in default for as much as three
years in the payment of taxes shall
be DISTINGUISHED.
Mr.. Hall will also propose an
amendment to the registration laws of
the state SO as to make it a crime for
any person to pay another's taxes for
the purpose of allowing such person to
register.
The bill will also make it a criminal
otfense for the tax collector of any
county to permit such person to pay
another's taxes for the purpose OF
placing his name upon the registra-
ton list.
Mr.. Hall believes that bill upon
the above lines will forever secure
white supremacy in Georgia, and this
bill will, within the constitution of
the United States, practically elimi-
nate the negro vote in Georgia.
The bill, Mr.. Hall claims, will dis
franchise that large element of ignorant
negro voters by law, and it will not
permit the registrars or election
managers to determine the qualif-
cations of the voters at the time he
offers to register or to votes

How to Break Up a Cold.

1t may be a fsurprise to many to
learn that severe cold can be COM
pletely broken up in one or two days
time. To do this, however, prompt
action is necessary. The first symp-
toms, of cold are dry, loud cough. a
profuse watery discharge from the nose,
and, thin white coating on the
tongue. When Chamberlain's cough
remedy is taken every hour on the first
appearance of these symptoms, it
counteracts the effect of the cold and
restores the system to healthy con-
d1tion within day or two. For sale
