Letters to The Editor
stokes-IlimmicIx cna..

Editor The Advertiser:
 Your statement Of the litigation in the case of Stokes vs. Dimmiok in your issue of 17th inst. was somewhat in- accurate.
 In the first place you state that Judge Sayre ordered a sale of the timber on 5000 acres of land. This statement Is erroneous. There were two tracts one of 4i2 acres and the other of. 5000 acres. and Judge Sayre ordered a sale or the timber only on the 412 acres.
 to secure a writ of prohibition from the Supreme Court preventing a sale of the timber rights. but failed" Thts statement is erroneous, The timber rights on the 4i2 acres had been sold long before any proceedings in the Su- preme Court Judge Sayre rendered a decree settling the equities in favor of the complainant Dinlmtck and from this decree an appeal was taken. A petition was filed in the City Court to proceed with the reference notwith- standing the appeal. Wnereupon ap- plication was made to the Supreme Court to stay proceedings in the lower court pending the appeal. This appii- cation the court refused to. grant. The question presented was whether the particular case without the execution of supeFsedeas bond. The Supreme Court rendered no opinion but merely declined to order the stay prayed for,
 While I deprecate any discussion Of pending litigation In the newspapers must ask that if any statement is made in respect to it. 1t De accurate.

old Remedies,

Forest and Stream.
 Two of the ills to which outdoor men and women are susceptible just now are the effects of sunburn and ivy pois- on. Either one Is exceedingly unpleas- ant, and while all sorts of lotions are recommended. few allay the acute suf- feFing of the first few days. Two of these, however, are recommended. Both are old-time remedies of known value. There are those who claim that a gen. erous anointment of the skin with vas cline before exposure to the sun will prevent excessive burning. and this is no doubt true. Fair persons. however, do not realize the extent of the burn ing until too late. They should then anoint their blistered arms and necks with Caron oil. applying 1t frequently until the Inflammation disappears. This is merely equal parts of linseed oil and limewater. obtainable at any apotheca- " shop. Care should be taken lest the clothing absorb the oil. for 1t is very difficult to remove it. once 1t has dried in linen or other fabrics. For ivy pois- on use tincture grindelia (Grindelia TO- busta), also obtainable anywhere. Bathe the affected parts in hot water, avoiding the use of soap. then dry them without rubbing. and apply the tincture frequently until the tiny blfs- ters are dried up. Soap helps to spread the poison. Hot water relieves the itching and also prevents excessive sloughing.

 The Richmond Journal has an enter taining editorial on the subject of Rame- ses II and Roosevelt Of late, there has been quite lot of discussion about Rameses, who by the way. has been a mummy several thousand years, and naturally is not taking any interest in what is now going on in this world. The charge has been made of late on the authority of the archaeologists that he was a great fraud. His name. or the picture that stood for his name, Is found on many of the most ancient and insignificant monuments and other works of art of the older Egypt. creat- ing the natural impression that these structures were erected during his reign and under his patronage.
 It Is now freely charged that much of this claim by or for Rameses is a fake. It is shown by what Is con- sidered reliable evidence that a num- Der of these inscriptions occur on struc- lures that were erected generations be- fore he was born. They charge that he had way of going about his king dom and chipping his signature--or having it done--on any building or monument that happened to strike his fancy In this way it is claimed that the old fraud. like some modern ones, has obtained a great deal of fame and credit that he was not entitled to. All this incites our Richmond contemporary to make some rather sarcastic com ments and comparison as follows
 Tn this goodly land of ourh and in this year of grace, lift up the eyes and behold in Roosevelt the First, Rameses the Second. Disguised at the record his own party has made. ashamed of the paltry, fulfillment of their puny and meager promises, he has boldly, in the eye of high heaven, lassoed, flung. and branded with his proprietary totem a half-dozen sound, sun-dried blanks of the Democratic platform. He has entered our pastures, earmarked the fattest, and led them forth as his own. Hear our own shepherd say SO. In the last Commoner MT. Bryan writes: President Roosevelt advo- eates railroad regulation, trust prose- cution, the income tax. and arbitration of labor troubles. All of these were demanded by Democratic platforms when Republican platforms were silent on the subject. It required some courage on the part of a Republican President to repudiate his own platform and borrow from the platforms of his opponents and he is entitled to credit himself for it. Unless he is checked in due season by the smell of fried fat" he will out-Bryan Bryan. and it may become a toss-up at the next con- vention whether 1t Ne the Nebraskan or whether John Temple Graves Is really amongst the prophets Mir Bryan justly deprecates the way some so- called Democratic papers are reprobat- ing Mir. Roosevelt for his absorption of Jefferson food. These papers are following the advice of a good. but not heavily equipped, professor of theology who advised his students: Young brethren, if you find a spark of grace in your hearers, water it. water tt."

Governor Comer's speech at Huntsville Huntsville Mercury.
 The Mercury cheertully and elady accords Governor Conner all praise that is rightly due him. Ills position on schools and education presented no new views to this paper which has ad- vocated the same and urged them on our people over twenty yStrs. He was sound ana strong in all he said on these lines and we are glad he is and gladly applaud him.
 But on other subjects, notably the railroads, he displays too much of th, vindictive spirit for a state sman and wise. safe leader of his people. HIS manner of discussing these issues IS calculated to array interests agalnst m terests in which arU wrapped up the prosperity of the whole people. A more conciliatory tone would have a better effect If the railroads are Yio- lating the laws, the courts, created by representatives both as to State and Federal jurisdictions, will impose the lawful penalty, and 10 the courts the railroads have appealed, right they

in these days Of high pressure living it
is'doubtful if it is good for the mother
or child" says Marianna Wheeler in
Harper's Bazaar. Few women are able
to prolong successfully the nursing pc
riod beyond the eighth month. and
usually they must give It up even a
month or two earlier. I would advise
every nursing mother to start the very
first month or even the first week Civ
