 Cattle Inspection Is In
 Progress.
c, D. GLAZE IS CHAIRMAN

Athens, August 2-(Special) ques- ton of pike building for this county is now taking tangible form. The county commissioners, acting under the Jaw just passed by the legislature for this county, met today and elected the pike commis- sion consisting of chairman and four associate members. The chairman is to have in hand the handling of all the money, $l35,000, and with the advice of the assoeaites he will make all contracts for the building of the bikes. The com nlissioners selected the following gentle- men as the members of the commission:
 Clinton D. Glaze, chairman; associates, William T. Hatchett, MaIcum C. Easter, Era Hey Bbb and Robert Hanserd The members are all prominent men, four of them being leading planters. who have made a success of their undertaking, and the chairman is a retired merchant and cotton buyer who has amassed a fortune in business.
 He is one of the most widely known men in the county. The commissioners are all receiving congratulations on their wise selection and the people are con- fdent that they will get their money worth. The commission will be organized at once and work will be commenced on the bikes as soon as a plan can be ar rived at.
 The city treasury was enriched to the tune of about S350 this week in fines col lected from gang of negro crap shooters arrested by the city marshal in a raid in a negro clothes cleaning establishment. The heaviest fines ever assessed by mayor was put on the negroes by Mayor Frost, who graded them from $35 to $15. The negroes will get out of their habits of doing nothing but crap shooting with a few doses like this. Athens has d new marshal and he is showing some of the youths that there is better life than they have been leading.
 The cattle inspectors of this county arc not meeting with any resistance in the enforcement of the cattle inspection, but on the other hand are meeting with uri- form kindness Only a few farmers have had their cattle quarantined. It is said that there are fewer ticks this year than, was ever known and with constant care and watching it is believed the pests will be exterminated here this year. The peo- pie wer at first violently opposed to the movement and indignation meetings were held and dire threats made, but this has all died away when the people found out the real status of the matter. Now the farmers are doing all possible to aid in this great work.

Selma, August 2.-(Special.) .)-The police are looking for a young white man charged with forgery. The young man is quite well known having worked at ssv- eral places in this city, his last place of employment being with the Morning Times.
 Tuesday night last he presented a check for $10 purporting to be signed by J. .. Adler and made payable to J. D. Conner, to store No. ? of Dunklin & Driskell. on Franklin and North streets. He stated that he only wanted s6 at the time and that as the bank was closed he would re- turn and get only $3 more.
 Upon the check being presented at the bank it was recognized at once as a for gerry and turned down. The authorities were then notified, but the young man has not been seen since. The check was n- dorsed, "J. D. Comer," the same name written on the front. It was written with an indelible pencil on a Peoples Bank and Trust company's check. which had been changed to the City National bank. It is said that the young man attempted to pass another check for a greater amount and that he had with him a check for SJ which had been seen. He was supposed to have gone to Meridian, but as yet notn Ing has been heard of him from any

 Yesterday afternoon Secretary Slater of the Central Alabama Fair association submitted to the five judges the designs for the cover of the fair catalogue, drawn by local artists, for their decision. The names of the artists were withheld, and Judgment was passed on the designs on their merits alone. The one furnished oy young David Vaughan, the well known boy artist. was selected as the most suit able to illustrate the objects of the fair.
 Great praise was given to the design submitted by a lady artist, both for it's splendid execution and conception, but the one selected had many points of ex- cellence particularly suited to the purpose for which it Is to be used Those who have seen the work of David Vaughan known that he possesses talent far beyond the ordinary. Considering his youth, the wonderful blend of ideas, originality of conception and aptitude of his sketches, forecast a career in art which will make him famous

LETTER TO MATHEWS BROS.

Dear Sirs: The easiest way we know of
to make little money is-if you're going
to paint-to paint with the paint that takes
least gallons
Take small job; say it takes 10 gallons
Devoe, two coats; that's an average house.
When the job is done and the bill comes-in
it is $50; the paint etc. $3.50; the rest is for
labor and carriage; the labor is fixing the
surface, shifting ladders, scatfolds, pulleys
and ropes, and brushing-on paint.
Take another job exactly like that; try
another paint it takes II gallons. The bill
is $40 more. Take another exactly the
same; another paint; it takes 20 gallons.
The bill is 500.
There is only one Devoe; there's dozen
12-gallon paints, and 100 that take 20 gal
Ions to cover 10-gallon job.
The only difficulty is in finding out Devoe.
After that you save work there's less work
in 10 than in ~ or 20 gallons; less paint to
buy and less to brush-on and less wages to
pay.
If Devoe were only little better than
others, there'd be some difficulty in finding
out the difference. 1t goes twice as far as
half the paints that ought to be easy.
1t wears longer too. You'll wait good
while, If you wait to fnd-Out how long it
wears there are thousands of people who
know that the least-gallOns paint wears
longest.
Yours truly,
So F. W. DEvoE & Co.
P.S. Mason & Hall sell our paint.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

The articles by Mr. Emery Heagan on
practical education, recently published
in The Journal, have been read with in
terest.by many and received much favor.
able comment. He has certainly out.
lined what may be termed long felt
want in rural communities. In the
cities this want has long been fully met
so fully in fact that there begins to be
apprehension in certain quarters that
what is termed liberal education is
doomed to extinction before the de.
mand for technical training In the
School Department of recent issue of
the Brooklyn, N. Y, Daily Eagle we
find mention of a manual training High
school, Commercial High school and
training school. OF the Commercial
High school it is said:
During the vacation the basement
shop was fitted out ready for use.
Twenty eight modern woodworking
benches complete the furniture of one
end of the room, and the other portion
is suitably fitted out with machinery.
There are two speed lathes, one machine
lathe, large grindstone, two emery
and carborundum wheels, one tin cut
ter a band saw, a planer and a circular
saw. Suspended from the ceiling is a
motor, which furnishes the power. This
machinery, however, has not been turn
ed over to the school for use, because of
some imperfection in the motor When
the shop is ready it will furnish home
for the Crafts Club, which will be re-
organized by Mr.. McGregory of the
drawing department.
This of course does not include all
the special schools in Brooklyn; and
New York city also furnishes free in
struction IN all the trades and callings,
IN arts as we'll as crafts, and in domestic
science Boston is not behind in this
respect. In its night schools the litter
ate immigrant is taught to speak, read
and write English, and the working boy
from the country finds an opportunity
to continue the studies begun before he
left the farm, and to acquire technical
knowledge or fit himself for profess
sion, In its five technical day schools,
boys are taught trades and girls are
trained in useful occupations. Wood
carving, blacksmithing, typewriting,
sewing, ship drafting, milling, clay
modelling, house keeping, mechanical
drawing cooking, carpentry, chemistry
and commercial law are among the
things taught under Boston's system of
free industrial education. In the AGA
demic courses of its free public schools
are more than 100000 children, the poor
est of whom receive exactly as much
consideration as the richest.

The j. K. PICNIC. What was probably
their last out-of door picnic of the season.
was held by the J. KS at the pavilion at
the park on Friday evening. Supper was
served in the pavilion and was a chatting
dish affair After supper the party, which
numbered eleven, adjourned to the shore
where mammoth bonfire had been built.
The scene was brilliant one, the moon
was almost full and the bay was as smooth
as glass, while the brightly lighted City of
Bangor added an interesting touch to the
scene as she left Searsport and made her
landing at the Belfast wharf. Just as she
was going out some OF the venturesome
spirits suggested wading party. and shoes
and stockings were promptly removed, about
half of the party getting the benefit of the
rollers sent shoreward by her wheels. A
chorus of yells brought her searchlight into
play, greatly to everybody's delight. After
the fire had died down a bit, corn was roast
ed in the glowing embers, and last course
of fruit and candy was enjoyed. The
weather conditions were perfect and it was
not until the incoming tide gradually put
out the fire that the party moved homeward,
reluctantly leaving the beautiful scene.

A Maine Wspaper-Democratic of
course - recently undertook to prove
that the agricultural interests of the
State are declining and instanced the
alleged shrinkage in the value of farm
products, the number of abandoned
farms, etc. The Bethel News discusses
this question apart from politics and
suggests that the real facts may be
found ''iL changing conditions that
have not been made to appear,in sta
tistics" For example, it says that the
immense quantity of small fruits and
garden truck now raised is, in great
part, overlooked by the gatherer of
statistics and it thinks that the value
of those unlisted products will equal
the shrinkage in the value of farm
products, as shown in the reports. AS
to the abandoned farms it says:
The man riding through the country
districts does see abandoned FARMS"
and at first sight it looks as though
farming was on the Wane. Upon close
investigation great number OF the
abandoned farms are found to have
originally been the sites of numbering
operations, and never cleared for cultl-
Walton. After the land had been de-
wooded the camp was occupied by some
family for the sake of shelter, and
gradually they brought some land under
cultivation, and as time wore on the
place became known as farm. The
land is poor and the buildings often
poorer, and farms Of this character are
often sold for mere pittance; hun
dred or more acres with set of build
ings for $500. They are farms that can
not be easily brought to profitable
cropping condition. There are, here
and there, abandoned farms" of diff
ferent character, that have been, and
are yet capable of being good producers.
In many instances these farms are not
on the market. or if they are, are held
at prices SO high that they may be said
also mot to be on the market Farms
today, in general are better than for
merly and farmers are more prosperous.

CATARRH is DURABLE.
Successful Experiments in Abating and Cur
ing This Disease.


Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary dis
ease and should not be tolerated for single
day now that Hyomei is so generally known
and has made SO many cures in Belfast and
other towns.
Until comparatively recent times catarrh
was thought to be a blood disease and
stomach dosing the only treatment. Modern
science finally disproved this idea of the
cause of catarrh, and found that it was a
germ disease and, after many experiments,
the remedy was decided to be HyOmei.
Hyomei medicates the air you breathe !;
it kills the catarrhal germs; it heals the
smarting and raw membranes of the pas
sages in the nose and throat; it cures all
catarrhal troubles.
As there is life and health in the air in
the mountainous where the pine forests
give off their fragrant and healing balsams,
SO there is life and health in breathing
Hyomei. There is no need of suffering
from catarrh if the simple and natural
treatment of Hyomei is used.
So sure is this prescription to cure even
the worst cases of catarrh, that R. H..
Moody sells it under an absolute guarantee
to refund the money if it does not do all that
is claimed for it, 2W39
