While trying to get some boxes of
express matter through the door at
the Wells Fargo Office yesterday
morning, Harold LeMoin pushed his
hand through the glass, severing a
small artery in the wrist, causing him
to lose great amount of blood and
not little pain. He had doctor
attend to it as soon as possible.
A marriage license was issued We'd

Max Churovich and Mike I.ikich
were caved on yesterday about noon
time while at work on one of the

was but slightly bruised. while the
latter was quite badly injured about
the head and back, and may be in

He resumed his employment as night

On Monday while making the turn
at the corner of Main and Water
streets, Giovannoni's team, a horse
driven By Miss Munger, and another
team came very near having a seri-
GUS collision. One was coming up
Water street, while another was turn
ing from broadway, and the other
from Main street. All three of them
were going at pretty good lick, so
they were right onto each other be-
fore they could stop. Miss Munger
drove her horse onto the sidewalk, so
that she got out with only scare.
The other teams succeeded in passing
as we'll. This is very dangerous
corner, and that there are not more
accidents is miracle. Drivers COM
ing from both ways, very seldom slow
up when making the turn, and nearly
every day an accident is narrowly
averted.

lone High is Victorious.

The lone students upheld their re-
putation yesterday as the best basket
ball players in the state by defeating
two of the best teams in it. The girls
defeated the Lodi high by the score
of 2l-24 in a game that was full of
spice from the time the whistle blew
The boys took Berkeley high down
by the score of 23-1C. At first it
looked as though the visitors would
get away with our boys, but they
hraced up and kept too fast a pace
for them. The game all the way
through was free from any smuggling,
OF Emean playing. Again the girls.
can say that they are an undefeated
team. This is reputation that many

other in the state holds.

Loves opera house, Jackson,on Satur-

has secured the services of Mr. Fred
Carlyle, the professional stage direc
tor who so successfully gave "The

and now he is Iehearsing about thirty
of our popular Young ladies for the
event of the season. ''The Two Vaga-

and was great hit, and it has been
also played in San Francisco and
other large cities with great success,
and Mr. Carlyle is putting it on here
in the same manner as the profess

The participants are very 5enthus-
iastio and a presentation which will
long be talked of will be given.
Nothing so ambitious has ever been
attempted here before. The best

Baseball.

Sunday afternoon the Electra base
ball team met the jackson aggregation
on the local grounds and went down
to defeat by the score of S-l1. The
Electra boys play one game of ball
each year with the Jacksons, and are
a strong combination even though
they do not have the practice. The
day was ideal for such game, but
they started to play so late that it
was dark by the time they finished.
During the first part of the game the
visitors we're in the lead but not for
long. Following is the lineup:

LEGISLATION AGAINST CON
CEALED WEAPONS.

In noting the statement that in
all England last year there were
twenty-three murders, attempted
murders and suicides i'll which the
revolver has been the weapon used 4,
the Chicago Record Herald said:
There is a good suggestion for
Chicago i'll England 5 attempt to
regulate the abuse connected with
the sale of firearms. In 1908 par
lament passed law requiring Ii
cense to be issued to all purchasers
of firearms and requiring deilers
to keep careful records of sales.
Now, an examination of the twenty
three crimes that have attracted
attention proves that while suicid-
es and crimes of passion have been
unusually prevalent, nevertheless
shooting affairs by hooligans and
criminals have been much dinin-
ished. The improvement in this
direction is sdirectly connected with
the law, which has brought about
falling off of two-thirds i'll the
sales of revolvers.
A very large proposition of Chic
ago's shameful murder record con-
sists of crimes of just the charac-
ter that England has begun to pre-
vent. The Chicago judges should
enforce strictly the ordinance
against the carrying of concealed
weapons. But that is not all that
is needed. The council should
take heed of England S experience
and Of the experience of several
American cities OH the same line,
and pass an effective ordinance re-
gulating the sale of weapons. Such
an ordinance has been needed for
years. 1t should be made a fact
now.

GOV. HOKE SMITH TALKS.
III this speech before the South
ern Cotton Association at the meet
ing recently held in Birmingham,
Gov. Hoke Smith, OF Georgia,
among other things, said:
Until the last few years the
/ farmers Of the South have followed
the practice of selling practically
all to their cotton IS soon as it was
gathered. The mill men of the
world need this cotton, not in lump,
but distributed through twelve
months. If the farmers insist up
on selling the II, 500, 900 bales Of
cotton in sixty days, when it takes
twelve months for the mills to use
it, they simply glut the market
with their product. They force it
into the hands of speculator, and
the spectators would be indeed
foolish if he did not buy it at the
lowest price possible.
1t cannot be expected that the
owners OF the mills of the world
will be ready to carry $780,
900, 900 of raw material as well as
manufactured products which they
must sell to their customers on
time. The farmer should handle
his crop SO that the mill owner can
buy it practically as he needs it.
ANY other course will simply over
stock the market and cause the
farmers own cotton to depreclate
the value of his own labors.
If the full value of cotton
crop is to be obtained by the man
who produces it, he should pursue
a policy about as follows:
First-He must practice severe
self denial for cne or two years to
get out of debt.
"Second-He must raise his own
food supplies.
"Third-He must have OH his
own farm his own cotton shed,
prepared for the safe protection Of
his cotton, just as he has his corn
crib, in which he takes care of his
corn, or his barn, in which he
takes care of his hay.
'Fourth-He must sell his cot
ton through the year month by
month, and not dump it all On the
market as soon as it is ginned.
"Fisth-The men who raise cot
ton must be furnished with knowl-
edge of its true value and steadily
move the price up to staple rate
of IL cents a pound
The Bolivar County Democrat., 1907-02-16

A Texan writing to the Dallas
News tells of his experience in
raising cotton this year, which was
i'll the nature of the phenomenal.
The owner of a small farm which
he cultivates himself, planted part
of it in cotton. On certain three
acres he raised $500 pounds
or seven 500-pound bales.
The rows were laid out five and
a half feet apart, ran north and
south. He also relates that cot
ton planted in rows running east
and west did not produce nearly
so much" as the cotton with rows
running north and south. This
agricultural note, while in meas
ure explaining the bountiful cot
ton crop of Texas this year, also
offers a suggestion that it would be
we'll to plant cotton i'll rows run
ming north and south since by this
method the growing cotton gets
the benefit of the most sunshine

A curious and regrcttable revival of

the original meaning of the word is

hearing 1t mentioned as "droying

at its worst" would suspect it of being
a room to which to withdraw for relax
alton. Most words of the kind, though
have no better claim to our admiration.
and many have worse one to our
sense of language. "Parlor" Is an ugly
growth from the old monasterihl ''par-
loir," or room where speaking was al
lowed, and "boudoir," that early Victo-
rian expression of gentility, began by
being room to sulk in. "Sitting room"
is a strange instance of the confusion

There is no better rule for good health
than that the bowels should move every
day at the same hour if possible. Regu.
larity can be acquired by making habit
of this. Foolish people neglect this and
when chronic constipation effects them
they take pills every few days to force the
bowels to perform their natural function.
As years 60 on they require more and
more pills. This should be stopped.
Cooper's New Discovery will build up
the stomach and cause the bowels to act
naturally. While taking the medicine get
the habit of regularity, then gradually
stop taking the medicine.
Here is sample OF letters from those
who have tried it:
"For sixteen years have suffered from
stomach and liver trouble, and chronic
constipation. l had frequent headaches
and always felt tired and worn out.
heard of Cooper's New Discovery and
began its use, After l had finished one
bottle was wonderfully improved. Con-
stipation gave way to apleasing regularity
of the bowels and ate better, slept bet
ter and felt better than had for months.
1t is the greatest medicine l have ever
known" Samuel Booren. 1742 Munsey
