Captain George w. Johnson, an old
time Harlem river oarsman. who now
resides in New York has written to the
Times-Union requesting . copy Of an
issue Of this paper TO be used in a
peculiar boat In which he contemplates
rowing from St Augustine to New
York, via the inside route-through
the sounds. bayous and canais-some
time next spring.
1t Is his purpose to construct the
craft Of newspapers and TO be i'm the
form OF shell, with a little moro
beam than the ordinary racing type
In 1888 Captain johnson rowed from
New York TO Boston In a similar craft,
and he feels certain that he will be
able to successfully make a longer and
more hazardous trip. The length Of the
cruising shell will be twenty feet, b,
twenty inches beam, six inches deep,
! and have ten waterweight bulk
heads
Nothing but newspapers will be used
in constructing the boat, and Captain
Johnson hopes to have in the craft a
copy of every daily paper in the United
States Twenty or more thicknesses Of
paper will be used for the hull and
shell, which will be made in a mould
under pressure. producing a compost
tion harder and tougher than any
wood. The deck will be similarly con-
structed of paper, and the headings Of
the various papers will be used as
mosaic for the outside coating.
At Captain Johnson's bazar. 30 st.
George street, st. Augustine, is the
mould all ready to press the papers as
soon as sufficient quantity IS received
The construction Of the novel craft
Is attracting considerable interest, md
when he starts on his trip in the
spring the papers will announce from
time to time his progress up the coast.

BEST OF PROOF.
That Hyomei VIII Cure all Forms OF
Catarrhal Diseases.

Testimonials could be printed by the
thousands, many of them from VIII
mington and nearby towns, that Hyoml
is an absolute cure for all catarrhal
troubles, but the best of proof OF It's
unusual curative powers is the guar
antee that r. r. Bellamy gives with
every outfit he sells, Money back II
Hyomei does not do all that is claimed
for it,
Hyomei is not a secret remedy. It's
formula is given freely to physicians
who want to know what they use when
they prescribe Hyomej. 1t is +" c:ran
teed under the Pure Food and Drug
Law by serial No. 1418.
By breathing Hyomei, the healing
medication goes directly to every nook
and corner of the air passages where
the catarrhal germs may lurk, and
Gisinfects and heals. To be convinced
of this you have only to give it trial,
remembering that if it does not cure,
r. r. Bel1amy will refund your money.
There is no dangerous stomach drug
ging when Hyomei is used. It's heal
ing medication is breathed through a
little pocket inhaler few times daily,
and almost Immediately great im-
provement Is noticed and quick recoy-
cry follows.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1O0, and in most cases is sufficient to
cure the disease, making it not only a
scientific treatment but one that Is
highly economical Get an outfit to-
day from R. R. Bellamy if you have
any symptoms of catarrah, and see
how quickly the remedy relieves and
cures

FOR PROHaATLlN
Temperance Forces Favor Action by
Extra Session

Rev. r. L. Davis, state organizer or
the North Carolina anti-saloon league
was In Greenville and WaSningi'. 4. yes
teIday and telephoned The Me- and
Observer last night to 81! that he had
conYerscd with many D 5o,Is -. es stern
Carolina during the past few days. and
that he had found strong sentiment
in favor of state prohibition law by
the extra session Of the legislature;
and he believed the legislature would
immortalize itself by giving the state
the prohibition law at this time.
State prohibition ds coming any
way, he declared, aud he states that
many people with whom he had con-
ferred, who were not strong prohibi-
tionists had told him that it would be
best for the legislature 70 pass the
prohibition law at the extra session,
as state prohibition was certainly COM
ing, and not wait any longer.
Mr. Davis hopes the temperance
forces OF the entire state will unite
Immediately for the purpose of having
the state prohibition law passed by the
extra session Of the General ASS mbly.

Dear Sir: A few years ago New
York daily got up q great agitation
for dollar gas. and got II. The state
passed the law, and the people liked
1t. of course till the bills came In. The
bills were bigger, not less; the law
didn't say what the gas should be.
The price Of gallon Of honest
paint is $l.75; but there's paint" all
the way from 35 cents to $1.75. A
popular price is $1.25; there are
scores of paints at that price. Like
dollar gas.
II $1.75 is the price of gallon Of
honest paint you may be quite sure
there are scores OF A'paints" at all prL
ces from that down, with paint enough
in them to pass for paint. And what
are you going to do about It?
II takes from 81 to 81 q gallon TO
pay the painter for doing his work.
Is It worth while to pay 81 to "a q
gallon for brushing on paint half
whitewash.
No; the expense of that extra and
useless labor makes counterfeit paint
cost more than true.
The remedy IL Devoe. There are
eight honest paints: Devoe Is the
strongest one of the eight.
