Il MGtfer of Bad Blood BefzUeen ht
Tao Races
Trouble Now Serious.

There are two races in every person
blood, one is a red race and the other is
a white race The red race represents
food and the white race represents the
scavengers. The red race produces
healthy color in your cheeks, healthy
flesh on your bones, strength, brightness
in your yes and all the happiness that
comes from good health The white
race takes the impurities out of the blood
and wards against disease. There can
not be too many Reds" but if there are
too many whites" then the blood is
said to be thin, the face gets pale, and
the whole body is open to attacks of any
kind of disease.
Graham's Blood Compound wards off
disease and is recommended for all blood
impurities, eczema, pinples, and skin dis
eases.

JUDGE LOUIS I. O'NEAL DEAD.

of the Bar.
Some judges are made, while others
are born. Judge Louis I. O'Neal was a
born Judge. He possessed a heart and
a soul as pure as baptism
He died Thursday afternoon at his
country home, after hard days work
in the court His duties were trying,
because the docket had been extremely
large during the entire absence Of Judge
Kimball and after court he would go to
his Office and take up his justice busi-
ness.
The announcement of his death was
indeed a shock to the entire bar and
community. Judge O'Neal was one Of
those men who understood human na-
ture. In the Police Court, before whom
hundreds of defendants were tried, he
seldom if ever made a mistake. As JUS
tice of the peace he was on the side OF
right. He knew no favorites and sad
indeed is the death of this distinguished
jurist to those who knew him.
He was popular with everybody, be-
couse everybody knew that he was fair
and lust. He was Christian indeed and
in fact and showed it whenever he
would sentence a defendant He al
ways looked for the innocence of a de-
fendant, and not his guilt. But if the
evidence established guilt he would tenn
per his sentences with mercy. He was
Just the kind of man that that eminent
jurist Justice Stafford, mentioned, who
who should preside of the Police Court,
and his contemporary was Judge Mills,
who also believed in tempering justice
with mercy.
His place is hard to fill, because God
made only one Judge ONeal. He had
the confidence and respect Of the bar
because he was a man and Christian.
His funeral took place last Sunday
afternoon from the First Memberships
copal Church, Petworth. Rev. Charles
Cole oficiated, and he was buried IN
sGlenwood Cemetery.
Friday morning, August 80, Proseeut-
ing Attorney James L. Pugh, Jr., an
nounced to the court, Judge Alexander
Mullowney presiding, the sudden death
of Judge O'Neal, and introduced Attor-
ney Campbell Darlington, who delivered
4 most feeling and eloquent eulogy
speaking of his excellent traits and un-
daunted liberality.
Attorney Thomas L. Jones was the
next speaker, who also paid high trib-
ute to, the death and memory OF this
good and great man.
Judge Z. NJ. Hewlett, in speaking of
him. said also that he was a man OF
infinite wisdom and sound judgment.
Attorney A. w Scott said that Judge
O'Neal was a humanitarian, and on sew
eral occasions he had taken money out
of his own pocket to pay the fines of
those whom he had convicted. Such
man. said ttorney Scott, was too good
TO be Judge. He was no sycophant but
4 man and Christian gentleman.
Attorney Sellers also paid Judge o.
Neal fitting tribute.
Attorney ]. A. Moss said that he
would be missed He was a friend to
the rich and to the poor. He knew no
man by the color of his skin

Thomas III. Benton was a most re-
markable man, said the late Colonel
Switzler, Gin some respects the most
remarkable have ever known, but he
could not begin career at this time
The people would not tolerate him. He
would impress even a stranger by his
appearance. He walked as if he owned
the earth. With head raised at an angle
of 45 degrees and hands behind his
back he would stalk with measured
tread down the street, looking neither to
the right nor to the left, recognizing no
one. If he had an appointment to speak
at O'Clock, promptly at 2 o'clock he
would arrive. He would come in his
carriage unattended. He would permit
no one to introduce him, but, passing
through the crowd, he would make his
way to the rostrum and begin, 'Citi-
zens.' Never did he say Fellow citi-
zens.' Those before him were no fell
lows of his. And when he had conclud-
ed he would make his way back to the
hotel without personally addressing a
soul in the audience No one dared in
terrupt him in his speech. He refused
to recognize the right of any constitu-
ent to ask him how he stood on any
bject."-Colunbia Herald.

How Much Air We Have.

One hundred and thirty one miles is
the height of the atmosphere as meas
ured by Professor T. j. J. See, who
determines the thickness Of the air
envelope by noting the difference be-
tween the time of sunset and the COM
plete disappearance Of blue from the
sky. The moment at which the blue
changes into black can be observed
quite easily with approximate GER
tainty by the naked eye when the
air is clear, and by trigonometry
may be ascertained the distance below
the horizon Of the sun at the moment
of change. BY this means may be cal
culated the height of the smallest illu-
minated particles Of oxygen and nitro
gen which give to the sky it's blueness
of tint by the reflection Of the smallest
wave lengths Of the suns light. The
instant of change from blue to black
Is possibly little difficult of exact
observation, but the method is not more
doubtful than that based on the OBJ
servation of shooting stars. The shoot
ing star method gives a result not
greatly differing from the vanishing
blue method. The former gives the
height Of the atmosphere at 100 miles.

Death of Robert Cornett.

Robert Cornett was born in Jackson,
County, Indiana, September II, 1910,
and died at his home in Pleasanton,
Iowa, about s o'clock, on the morning of
May y, 1907, aged &c years, 8 months
and 10 days.
He served in the army for the preser-
walton of the Union about three years.
He was married to Mrs. May Rebecca
Owens, May ~, 1866, and it will be no.
ticed as rather unusual coincidence
that his death occurred on the forty
first anniversary of his marriage. They
lived for some years in Decatur County,
about two miles north of Pleasanton.
In the late sixties they moved to Mer-
Ger county, Missouri, and lived for
number of years about three miles
southwest of Lineville. They came to
Pleasanton, in February 1899, and there
Mrs. Cornett died August "a, 1906, nine
months and three days before his death.
To them were given five children of
whom two died in infancy. The three
survivors are Charles Cornett, of Pleas
anton, Mrs. Alice Davis and Mrs. Eu-
nice Vinzant, of Mercer County, Mis-
souri,.
In the course of series of meetings
ing last winter Bro Cornett became
interested in and protested religion.
Since that time he had regularly at
tended the church services, frequently
taking an active part. Death came to
him suddenly. He retired to rest the
previous evening apparently in his
usual health. His grand daughter,
Minnie, on rising in the morning, found
him unconscious and breathing heavily.
Medical help was summoned at once,
but he passed away in a few minutes
after the arrival of the physicians.
The funeral was conducted by the pas
tor of the L. D. S. church, May %, and
the burial took place at the Eastin
graveyard. He was an Industrious man,
a kind neighbor. and of generous hospi-
tality, as the writer has known by per-
sonal experience. *s*
