THEY INVITE A TEST.
Dawson Drug Co. Ask Catarrh Suf-
ferers to Try HyOmei on
Their Guarantee.

The Dawson Drug Co. and the
Peoples Drug Store invite all who
suffer from any form of catarrhal
troubles to get Hyomei outfit from
them with their absolute guarantee
that if it does not give perfect salts
faction the money will be refunded
upon request
There is no other treatment for
catarrh that in any way resembles
Hyomei, none that gives such quick
curative results and lasting satisfac-
ton, no medicine that can take its
place, none that can be sold on a
guarantee like this, to refund the
money unless it cures.
Catarrh is a germ disease and can
be cured only by breathing Hyomei,
so that the most remote air cells in
the nose, throat and lungs are
reached by it's antiseptic healing
powers. In this way all catarrhal
germs are killed, the irritated mu-
cous membrane is healed and catarrh
is driven from the system.
This wonderful medicated air
treatment does not drug and derange
the stomach, but is breathed through
little pocket inhaler that goes with
every dollar outfit.
The usual way in which the Daw-
son Drug Co and Peoples Drug
Store sell Hyomei attests their con-
fidence in the remedy.

MYSTIC MAN is MYSTIFIED
HE PAID $4,000 FOR FORGED
COTTON RECEIPTS.
Were Stolen From the Farmers I'M

CIew to Clever Swindler.


ion Warehouse in Triton. No
CIew to Clever SWindler.
A white man dressed like farmer
and claiming to be C. y. Pope pre-
scented sixteen cotton receipts, APP
parently issued by the Farmers I'm
ion Warehouse of Triton, to 2. j.
Russell e Son at Mystic, in Irwin
county, few days ago. The receipts
were accompanied by sixteen samples
of cotton, with numbered coupon
torn from a Farmers Union Ware
house tag with each sample, and
offered the cotton for sale Seven
of the receipts were issued to the
name of ]. M. Johnson and nine to
C. S. Pope. The numbers were 4053
to 1000 and 1905 to 4O72, inclusive
Mr.. Russell got the cotton at what
he considered a bargain, and bought
it, giving $901.07 for the lot, paying
for it in two checks, one to j. M.
Johnson for 1891 and one to G. S.
Pope for $50 on the Bank of IT.
Winville.
A short while after the man claim
ing to be G. S. Pope presented the
checks to Cashier w J. Ballard, at
the Bank of Irwinville, and received
therefor 5000 in cash and a cashiers
check for $3O1.07.
When the Farmers Union Ware
house was notified that Mr.. Russell
had bought the cotton they found
that no such receipts had been is
sued by them An investigation de-
Veloped that sixteen receipts had
been stolen from their warehouse
book just a page or so later than
their Saturdays entries, and that
bundle of fifty wired coupon tags,
numbers 1850 to 400, had been
stolen from the supply in the ware
house Office
Mr.. Russell was notified and in
company with Cashier Ballard at
once went to Triton No one there
knew anything about the cotton or
Pope, and it was evident that Mr..
Russell had been the victim of
clever swindle.
The signature to the cotton re-
eeipts was a close imitation of that
of Manager Frank Parks of the
Farmers Union Warehouse, and the
man who worked the swindle was
evidently familiar with warehouse
methods and the handling of cotton,
Banks over the country have been
notified not to cash the check for
1901, of which no trace has been
found, and Mr. Russell offers a re-
ward of 500 for the arrest of C. S.
Pope, who is described as a slender
man of about 80 years, feet 8
or 10 inches in height, about 140
pounds weight, fresh complexion and
clean shaved. He wore a dark
double-breasted vest and light pants
and talked with a drawl.

SOUTHERN NEGRO MOST PEACEFUL
EIGHT TIMES AS MANY NEGRO CRIMINALS IN NEW ENGLAND
AS IN THE SOUTH. PRAISE SOUTHERN
NEGRO FROM A WESTERN PAPER

100, goo of her negro population In
Virginia there were $40 negroes
committed for each 100000 negroes
in the state, as compared with 1,346
in Ohio. Texas had to send 184 ne
groes to prison for each 100000 in
the state during the year under re-
view, as compared with 965 Indiana
had to send for each 100, 900 of her
negroes. Kentucky negroes commit
ted during the year amounted to 342
per 100000 negroes, while those
committed in Iowa amounted to l.
965 for each 10000 of negro popu-
lation Tennessee sent up 143 ne
grOes during the year out of every
100000 within her borders, while
Nebraska imprisoned 744 of them
for every 100000 of negro popula-
ton.
These figures indicate that with
out exception among states those of
the north have far higher percent
age of negro criminals than those
of the south.
Statistics Hidden.
cit is interesting to note that the
census bureau plays the soft pedal
of prisoners of all classes per hum
dred thousand of the total popula-
ton, but fails to segregate them ac-
cording to color. 1t is only by the
most laborious calculation involving
the reckoning of the negro popula
ton from the percentages given, and
after that the finding of the number
of prisoners per 100000 of popula-
ton, using the first result as base
for the second operation. In other
words, they give you the total pop
ulation, the percentage of it that is
negro, and the number of negroes
Then you have to solve
the problem Easily this is the most
important lesson of the bulletin.
Whether Il was overlooked by de-
sign or otherwise it is hard to tell,
but it is not improbable that it was
not thought best to bring it out.

The great and growing popularity
of Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is due both to it's scientific
compromising and to the actual me-
dicinal value of it's ingredients. The
publication of the names of the in
gradients on the wrapper Of every
bottle sold gives full assurance of it's
n-alcOhOlic character and removes
all objections to the use of an I'M
known or secret remedy. 1t is not
a patent medicine nor secret one
either. This fact puts it in a class
all by itself, bearing as it does upon
every bottle wrapper the badge of
honesty in the full list of its ingre-
dents. Many years of active prac-
tice convinced DR.. Pierce of the value
of many native roots as medicinal
agents and he went to great expense,
both in time and in money. to per-
feet his own peculiar processes for
rendering them both efficient and safe
for tonic, Alternative and rebuilding
agents.

The following letter written by its

The following letter written by its
Washington correspondent to the
Seattle, Wash. News will be read
with much interest throughout the
south generally:
There are approximately eight
times as many negro criminals in
the north in proportion to the negro
population as there are in the south.
This statement is so remarkable that
it would be beyond belief did not
the Implying and impartial statistics
gathered by the census bureau show
it,
"Here are two examples. In the
group of states composed of the New
England states and New York, Penn
sylyania and New Jersey there were
approximately 428,000 negroes in
1904. During that year there were
5,192 negroes committed to prisons
in these states This shows that there
were 1928 negroes committed to
prison for every 100000 negroes in
those states. During the same year,
in the group of states consisting of
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi
the negro population aggregated g.,
420, 900. There were 8,052 negroes
committed to prison in these states
during the year, which is about 125
for each 100,000 negroes within the
enumerated states.
Ratio Is Striking.
Going west one finds proportions
but little less striking Taking the
states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Minnesota Wisconsin, To-
wa, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska and Kansas there were APP
proXimately 422, 200 negroes in them
lin 1904. During that year there
were 3,613 negroes committed to
prisons in those states, which
amounted to $50 out of every 1907
900 negroes within these states.
Taking the south central states, com
posed of Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas
Oklahoma and Arkansas, having an
aggregate negro population of APP
proximately 4,626,000, there were
6.066 negroes committed to prison
during the year, which was at the
rate of 1871 for each 100000 of
negro population within its territory
when one gets down to indiyid-
ual states the ratio is just as strik-
ing. In Massachusetts they are sup
posed to be doing everything that
human agencies can do to uplift the
negro. And yet the records show
that in 1904 there were 1923 ne
groes imprisoned in the state for ev-
cry 100000 of the negro population
in the state On the other hand Mas
sachusetts thinks that the negro of
South Carolina is but little above the
brute, and that his condition is but
little better than it was in the days
of slavery There is at least this to
be said about 1.-THE South Carolina
negro's educational advantages are
as far below the average as the edu-
cational advantages of those in Mas
sachusetts are above the average.
And vet South Carolina found 1T nee
essary to commit only eighty-five to
prison during the same period for

The Sturdy Old-Timers.

In these days, when some of
the later corners have had bad
LUCK with their wheat on account
of dry weather or hail, and then
pull out and go back east, it
strikes us that we owe great
deal of what the country is to-
day to the sturdy old timers,
those who came here in the Sos
and early '9os and even back in
the Jos, and stayed through it
all, especially considering the
fact that they had a much harder
row to hoe than those who are
coming these years. They can
tell stories of hot winds anil
drouths and grasshoppers and
hard times and a white-gravy
diet which would make some Of
the late comers ts1rn white around
the gills and want to go back
east. They are a courageous and
manly lot and deserve a goodly
harvest. Those who come later,
if they stick to 1t as well as did
the pioneers, will make GRAY
county beautiful place to live
in. 1t was the breaking of the
ground, so to speak, by the foun-
dation builders, that made possi-
BILE good country out here. The
thing for the newcomers to do is
to learn from the old settlers and
follow their example, for they
have been through the mill
