EXPORTS OF SOUTH
YEARS FIGURES EMPHASIZE IM-
 PORTANCE OF TRADE,
Increase at Ports, of The Gulf Show As- tonishinE Growth, When Com-
 pared With Atlantic.

Baltimore, Md. August 9--(SpeciaD In It's issue this week The Manufac- turers' Record says: official figures or the past fiscal year emphasize the steady increase in the importance of the South In America's export trade.
 The total value of the exports of merchandise from Southern ports was $734,073,46?. an increase of S92.040. 699, year while the increase at all other ports in the country was but $44,7S7,- 4ss. or at the rate of four per cent.
 satisfactory as is the total for Southern ports. as. for instance. the fact that the increase at Gulf ports was s100. 0.350.S21, while at the North Atlantic ports was but S32,142,611, of which the gain at New York alone was s2Os2l.735. there are other facts worthy of earnest consideration by everybody interested in Southern comerce. Of the eighty-five ports in the country with ,recordS either for 1906 or 1907. losses are shown at twenty four. and of these eight are Southern ports, and of the eight ports siv are South Atlantic ports. This would indicate that the splendid gain made at certain Gulf ports may be at the expense not only of the South Atlantic. Then. too. the total value of exports at the twenty six Southern ports is but S106.091.413 greater than the value of exports from New York. That city led the country In the past fi.cal year with a total of S627.9S2,O49. Galveston being second with $237,-17..11, New Orleans third with $17o.562.42S, Baltimore fourth with 100,S72,147, and Philadelphia sixth with S94.S32.4S0.
 The changes between 1906 and 1907 showed an icrease at North Atlantic ports from $S16.077.05S to 3S4S,219.66s. or by $32,142.611; an increase at Gulf ports from s36S.723.184 to s469.O82. 5O5. or by $10O.359.321; an increase at Southern ports on the Mexican border from $27.6os.56S to $3s.4os,2O5, or by $5,799f637; an increase at Northern border and lake ports from $176, ,664.- S60 to S19S,673.650. or by s2200S 79o; a decrease at South Atlantic ports from $s101, ,770.160 to $92.029,634, or by s9- 140.526. and an increase at all other ports from $7,319,659 to $7,696,2S2, or by S376.623, atotal increase for the whole country at all ports from $1,- 743,s64.5o0 to s1,SS0,692 6s7, or by s1S6.- BPS. 191
 Cotton and 1t products represented more than S54S, 900 in the total ex- ports from the country. And cotton was influential not only in the splendid showing of the Gulf ports. but also in maintaining the increase for the whole country, for the increase of $136,s2 197 in the past fiscal year does not really compare well with the increase of $225.302,S34 in the preceding year. of the increase raw cotton represented | $s1,075,606, while iron manufactures for instance, represented but $20.545.- sS6"

BELIEVES IN DRY FARMING.
Donahue Tells Why He Has Faith in
the New System.


II wish to call your attention to the
fact that there are more than 100000
900 ofarable acres of funoccupied prairie
between this city and the kansas-Ne.
braska line. This territory can and
will be reclaimed without the aid of
irrigation where the artificial applica.
lions of acres of now unproductive
prairie that stretch in one monotonous
and almost unbroken waste between
this city and the rising sun will,
within the next half century, support a
population many times greater than the
entire population of this state at the
present time," declared John H. Dona.
hue before a banquet of the Mile High
Club at the Savoy hotel in Denver,
speaking on the subject, What is Dry
Farming?"
Mr.. Donahue, who is one of the coun-
try's recognized experts on the subject
and has been largely instrumental in
introducing dry farming in Colorado,
gave q thorough exposition of the sub
ject.
He said, further:
when history shall have accorded
the proper place to each public charac-
ter now upon the stage of action in
proportion TO the lasting benefits which
he conferred upon his countrymen, i
believe that the chief executive of this
Aation-Theodore Roosevelt-will oc.

among them all, and subsequent gener-
ations will lay laurel wreath upon his

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies,

The modern patent medicine ousi-
ness is the natural outgrowth Of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history Of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in. apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
Of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is q
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness Of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on . Large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over q
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE.
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennouites, Of Pennsylvania. before 1t
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, 10 Of Mem
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale Of it increased, and at Last hs
established q mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in Z great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value In the
treatment Of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
Dr.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
q his remedy, Peruna.

MAKES CONFESSION OF MuRDE'
California Man Writes Letter Tha
Clears up Colorado Mystery.

Clears Up Colorado Mystery.
Delta, Colo.-A victim Of the white
plague and, If the physicians know, but
a short time yet to remain in this
world, F. c. Bartlett, formerly OF Delta.
but now in hospital in Indio, Califor-
mia, has confessed to the cold-blooded
killing of Fred Thielman in this county
twenty-three years ago. The. victim Of
the foul crime was found dead in a
cabin on the day following the date on
which Bartlett says he killed him, and
an inquest held some time later re-
turned a verdict of accidental death.
The remarkable deathbed confession
follows:
Indio, Calf, April 17.-Sheriff of
Delta county, Colorado-Dear Sir: In
the summer of 1888 l, with Frank Ir-
win. Mr.. Eggleston and trapper
nemed Fred, either OF German or Aus
trian descent, were on the Grand mesa
about thirty miles from the city OF
Delta, at the source of Forked Tongue
and Surface creeks. Fred, the trap
per, and I, tented together that
summer. During the time we got into
dispute about something that has
since left my mind. At all events, one
evening after coming home from hunt
ing, Fred sat down to clean gun and
a sage hen which we had shot.
Whether we were disputing at the
time or not I can not recall, but the
awful Idea struck me to kill him then
and there. was sitting about six feet
to his right, slightly to his rear,
and picking up an old muzxle-
leading shotgun shot him about
the right ear, breaking in his skull and
causing instant death.
A coroner's jury was summoned.
which after hearing the evidence of all
present brought in a verdict of death
by accidental discharge of the gun In
the hands of deceased, or something to
that effect. have never mentioned to
any person until now but the writer,
Charles Deterich, who Is the means of
bringing me to my God, who so viii
iEgly. for his beloved Son Christ's fate,
has forgiven me- all. He further CON
vinced me that it was necessary to
notify the civil authorities and Give
myself up for any action which YOU
may take. Yours faithfully,
F. C. BARTLETT.
