CATARRH CAN BE CURED
Mil the Germ By Breathing Hy.O.mei.
Gives Quick Relief.

Many people who have suffered with
catarrh fox years naturally feel that
the disease cannot be cured, and be-
come discouraged.
Their failure TO get relief is due to
the fact that they have not used
the right remedy. CatarTh is an affec-
ton Of the head, throat and lungs, and
cannot be cured by stomach dosing.
The only scientific and natural treat
ment for this disease is Hy-o-mei
which is breathed through a neat
pocket inhaler, so that its healing
medicated air reac hes the most remote
air-cells, kills all catarrh germs, and
restores the mucous membrane of the
nose, throat and lungs to healthy
condition.
Hy-o-m mel is the only cure for ca
tarrh that has ever been sold with the
landing that it was to cost abso
lutely nothing unless it cured. DOd-
sons Drug Store sells Hy-O-mei in this
way and is always ready to refund
the money if it does not relieve and
cure catarrh.
The healing and antiseptic balsams
of Hy-o-mei perform their purpose to
perfection, and by using this remedy
for few times each day. you can soon
cure yourself of any catarrhal troubles
A complete Hy-O-mei outfit consist
ing of bottle of Hy-O-mei and an in
haler costs but S1.00.

DEMAND AT PRESENT

ported in State

not Be Supplied.
WHILE VALUES HAVE GONE SOARING

Many farmers about Americus are
making inqiery for cottonseed for re-
planting purposes, as it is generally
conceded that considerable portion OF
the crop here, killed outright or dam
aged to great extent by the freeze,
must be replanted
Not only does this condition exist
locally, but from all sections OF the
slate comes the same story.
The recent frosts have killed cotton
which was up and rotted some seed
which was not germinated. But worst
of all, the supply of sound seed is in
sufficient to replant the fields which
have been ruined.
on account of the good prices OBJ
tanned for the past seasons crop,
Georgia farmers were preparing to in
crease their acreage to the detriment of
other crops, but the present situation
will have the effect of cutting down
this increase.
The Savannah News says that
urgent appeals are received by factors
for sea island cotton seed, but as the
best seed have been planted the sup
ply is very limited.

COTTON IS LIKELY TO
60 SOARING IN PRICE
In Opinion of New Yorker
in South
PROSPECT FOR BULL CAMPAIGN
Crop Conditions Are Such That if
Anything Else Happens to Crop
the Price May Advance
Two Gents a Pound.

The price of cotton, under adverse
crop conditions, may jump two cents
pound or more from the present
range of values. SO thinks Mr.. Allen
Bond, formerly of Savannah but now
of the cotton brokerage firm of Bond x
Buttfield of New York City.
Mr.. Bond is at present in Savannah
upon business.
Cotton may go as much as two
cents higher within the next two
months said Mr.. Bond yesterday.
1t certainly cannot decline. If any
thing happens to the new crop there
will be scare which will sweep prices
upward in a hurry.
THE big demand by European mills
and American mills will be sufficient
to cause a further advance. The mills
were never making so much money
and are sold far ahead.
Mr.. Price is very bullish. He is
much opposed to the New York Cotton
Exchange contract
II have it on the best of authority
that he Will institute suit against the
exchange for failing to deliver proper
grades of cotton on his contracts.
AS | understand it, he claims that
much of the cotton certificated in New
York is below the lowest grades tend
erable, and has been graded too high,
meaning that the classification COM
mittee does not know its business, or
Will not do its duty.

The children of the public schools are

sprinting as fast as possible towards

the pleasures of the summer.
The schools will close about the
middle of June. Before then there is
some hard work ahead for the children,
including the preparation for, and the
ordeal of the final examinations.
The graduating class this year will
be one of the smallest in many years,

be among the fairest and sweetest that
Americus has ever seen budding into

Ii is regarded as probable that the
Governor could be induced to visit
Americus for the occasion and make a
speech.
1t has also been suggested that the
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton would probably be pleased to send
one of its officials here at the same
time for the same purpose. The nation.
al department is greatly interested in
the work these dis trict colleges have
before them and stands ready to CO.
operate in all movements intended to
advance the interests of such institu-
tons.
If there is to be celebration it will
be necessary to act promptly. 1t is
understood that it will be necessary to
have the corner stone laying in about
three weeks, and at the outside not
later than four weeks from this time.
