Unknown Friends.

There are many people who have
used Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
diarrhoea Remedy with splendid re-
suits, but who are unknown because
thew have hesitated about giving a
testimonial of their experience for pub
l1cation. These people, however, are
none the less friends of this remedy.
They have done much toward making
it a household word by their personal
recommendations to friends and neigh
bors. 1t is good medicine to have in
the home and is widely known for its
cures of diarrhoea and all forms of
bowel trouble. For sale by Eldridge

How to Break Up a Cold.

1t may be a Esurprise to many to
learn that a severe cold can be com
pletely broken up in one or two DAYS
time. To do this, however, prompt
action is necessary. The first symp
toms, of cold are dry, loud cough, a
profuse watery discharge from the nose.
and, a thin white coating on the
tongue. When Chamberlain's cough
remedy is taken every hour on the first
appearance of these symptoms, it
counteracts the effect of the cold and
restores the system to healthy con-
dltion within a day or two. For sale

PREFERS PARK TO A STATE FAIR
Atlanta Will Be in the Bidding No

Atlanta, June AFTER kthis year
there will probably be no more state
fairs in Atlanta for three or four years
to come. Strong sentiment in favor
of tearing down practically all of the
buildings at Piedmont Park and con
Yerting it into a pleasure park has
brought the City Council to that way
of thinking and the prospects are that
it will become a pleasure park shortly
after the end of the 1907 state fair
which will be held there.

The End.
THE. PANAMA HAT.
Where the Best Ones Are Made In the
Ranuhlic of Colombia.

Where the Best Ones Are Made In the
Republic of Colombia.
The Panama hat follows in import
ance coffee, gold, hides, cattle, tobac-
CO and rubber in the order named and
is carried on in the departments OF
Cundinamarca, Tolima, Antioquia and
Santander. in the Republic Of Colom-
bia, but mostly in the last-named de-
partment, where 1t Is the bread-win-
ner to more than one-half Of its pop
ulation. There are no regular fac
tories, but the hats are hand-woven
by thousands Of peasant women In
almost as many households and sold
or traded in the local stores In ex-
change for provisions or articles of
clothing, the hat being in these re-
gions a convenient medium OF ex-
change, the housewife exchanging
the product Of her labor for so many
pounds of -four, sugar, etc.
Panama hats are made with the
veins Of fibers Of a palm leaf, the
tissues Of which are scraped off or
combed in much the same way as
hemp. The palm (carludovica pal
mata), called locally 'jipi-japa," Is
very small in appearance and grows
in great quantities on the low and
swampy lands Of the upper Magda-
lena, it grows wild, but it Is also cul-
tivated. although to a limited extent,
in the largest hat districts, the palm
producing in a little over year.
The preparation Of the fibre after
the tissues have been combed off con-
sists of boiling same in water contain
ing salt and lemon juice for the effect
Of whitening and rounding its sur
face: this operation takes a few
hours. The straw Is then exposed to
night air for three consecutive nights.
after which it Is ready for use. The
material employed in the making OF
hat is marketed at from Is to 40
cents equivalent thereby a hat. ac-
cording to the fineness and whiteness
of the straw, the youngest leaves gen.
orally giving the best quality
1t takes a woman four days to make
an ordinary hat. eight days for good
one and as much as fifteen days for
the finest hat made in Colombia. The
salary of the peasant woman employ
ed in the making Of a "jipi-japa' hat
Is reckoned at ten cents a day, in
Guiding her food, which can be CAL
culated at ten cents additional.
The best hats exported from Co.
lombia are those called "Suaza" made
In the city of that name in the De-
partment of Cundinamarca. The next
in order are the Antioquenos, made
in the Department Of Antioquia. Then
follow the ones made in the Depart
ment of Santander, called, respect
lively, Zapatoca, Baricha, Bucaraman-
ga and Giron, from the various CIT
les where made, and varying In quail
ity and price In the order named: But
the Zapatoca, although the most ex-
pensive from Santander, are supposed
to be of less duration.
The hest SuaZa hat exported costs

from that place 81: the Antiquenos
one degree cheaper, the cheapest OF
all being those from the Department
of Santander, which range from 5o
cents to 50 according to the quality.
Indeed, some panama hats, made at
the rate of one a day, sell for less
than SO cents, but these are made ex-
clusively for home consumption ana
in no way exported.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1907-04-02

ity Of cock-fights north Of the Mason
and Dixon line have been conducted
with heels not over one and one-half
inches in length. In the south the
heel from two to three inches In
length Is used, making a much dead
lier weapon.
AS before stated this gaff question
has long been mooted between north
ern and southern cock-fighters. The
northern men contended that with
the short gaffs only the gamest Of
birds could win, the shorter weapons
requiring a longer term Of punish
ment in battle, as rule, before a
death blow is struck. The southern
ers, on the other hand denied this,
and urged that with the long steels
the brutality of the sport is practical
ly eliminated, as the longer weapon
brings quicker execution, yet tests a
birds gameness more surely.
The two notable mains between
representative northern and southern
breeders attracted great interest in
recent years on account Of the gaff
agitation. 1t might be stated that
one of the arguments made by two
sets of fanciers was in effect that
game cocks bred in the south and
trained through countless generations
to fight in long heels were worthless
as short heel fighters, and that OF
northern game cocks the contrary
was true.
In one Of the two big mains men,
toned the fowls bred by Col. Grist
of Georgia were selected to defend
the southern end of the argument,
while a preeminent northern strain
opposed them. Wealthy men Of West
chester county, New York, engineer
ed the affair. Col. Grist himself went
to New York and made arrangements
for his show of birds. 1t Is said that
some $4,000 changed hands on the
result when the southern birds won
a complete victory over the northern
birds, and that in the northern short
heels.
another series Of battles or main,
between birds of the two sections OF
the country was arranged. It was
pulled of in Kentucky, near Cincin-
natl early last year.
In this series of fights the long
and short heels alternated. The CHM
birds faced the enemy for the south,
while the Pierce champions OF Wis
consin were on the firing line against
Dixie, and again the southern birds
won.
Revenge in a large measure has
been obtained however, down In the
Land Of Cotton during the past Mardi
Gras season at New Orleans. At this
time in the old Creole city the cock
fighters are in their glory, and daily
the feathered warriors are sent forth
to do battle. Two well known New
York turfmen with their northern
bred birds have swept ell before them
In the great cooking tournament just
closed, defeating the most renowned
southern strains in the southern long
gaffs.
The dispatches say that when the,
sport fourished in Cuba the4laborer
worked four days week to support
his family; another days wage ne set
apart for the lottery, and the last OF
the secular days he worked in order
that he might secure funds to back
his favorite in the pit. Now that the
lottery and cockfghting have been
stopped the laborers and farm hands
simply stop work for the last two
days Of the week. having no incen-
tive to continue.
