SUPREME COURT
GIVEN WARM ROAST

ST. PAUL, March 13.-(SpeciaD-
Captain Francis B. Hart of Minneapo-
lis made a sensational attack on the
state Supreme Court at the final hear
ing of disbarment proceedings against
him today.
His words fairly tingling with sar-
casm, Hart informed the court that
he did not care what they did in his
case.
IF this unblushing disregard of
the law and the authorities is to con-
tinue it is time l was disbarred," said
he, facing the court and pointing his
finger at his accusers.
Il want to be disbarred," he added
with vehemence. Il am through prac-
ticing before this court, through in
weighing people into my office and
taking their good money and then hay
ing the Supreme Court treat me as it
has done. 1t is not fair to me and it is
not fair to my clients
The proceedings against Captain
Hart were based on a letter sent by
him to Chief Justice Start on Deem
Der Z, last.
In the letter Captain Hart cited the
courts decision in four cases and
charged that in each case the decision
was contrary to the we'll established
law. After discussing one of the de-
cisions, the letter asked: rs prop
er motive for the decision discoverable
short of assigning to the court emascu-
lated intelligence or constipation of
morals and faithlessness to duty?'

COTTON CONTRACTS

No Transactions Reported

1t was another day of weakness in

in the afternoon the market sagged
and the earlier advances were more
than neutralized After the New
York market had closed, New Or
leans recovered a few points.
New York opened 4 to Z points
lower and soon dropped further. Pri-
ces then reacted and held with mar
row fluctuations until after the noon
hour. In the latter part of the SEES
sion the lowest was reached May

hour, but lost again at the very last
The close was II to Is points below

New Orleans opened 8 to 13 points
lower but soon rallied few points.
The market later eased off. but inn
proved in the last few minutes, the
close being to 10 points below the
final for the day before Spot quo
tatiOns were unchanged.
Liverpool opened to points down,
which was not SO good as due. The
market worked gradually lower, the
close being quiet, 6 to 10 points be-
low the close for Thursday. Spots
were reduced 8 points, the sales be-
ing 5000 bales.
Locally the spot market was with
out sign Of life. Some cotton was

EMPIRE COMPANY'S
BUSINESS GROWING
Fine Opening for New
Agents in This District.

The Empire Life Insurance Com
pany, of Atlanta, is doing greater
volume of new business in this ter
ritOry than ever before in its history.
The prompt payment of all claims,
the able and conservative manage
ment of the company, and the fact
that it is Southern enterprise, keep
ing the money at home for home in
VeStment naturally serve to
strengthen it in the confidence of the
insuring public. AS a result its list
of policy holders in Americas and
the district adjacent to this city is
continually increasing
The Empire Life Insurance Com
pany is now in its eighth year. AS
sets of about half million dollars
are at its command and are being adj
ded to every year. 1t is an old line
company with a full legal reserve for
the protection of its policy holders.
| One hundred thousand dollars are
deposited with the State Treasurer of
Georgia as q guarantee to the inSur-
ers. Keeping Georgia money in
Georgia for the development of Geor-
gia, it is no wonder that during the
year 1907 it wrote new business ag-
gregating five millions of dollars, in
Georgia alone.
One of the finest policies issued in
the world is the Empires Double In
demnity Policy, covering life, acct
dent and disability, all in the same.
This is proving an exceedingly pop
Cler policy and is being largely taken
hold OF hereabouts
The Empires affairs in this section
are we'll attended to by Mr.. J. E.
Mathis, Inspector of Agencies, whose
Office is in the Allison Building, Amer
icus. Mr.. Mathis states that he is
prepared to make generous contracts
with men of ability and integrity, to
represent the Empire.

CLARK & CO.'S COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, March 13.-Bears had
their inning in the cotton price, and
made new low levels, though at the
decline some little covering was in
evidence. The report of liquidat-
ing of May by the bull crowd was one
of the chief causes of the break and
helped by poor cables, reports of
reduction in wages, by some of the
mills of New England and the prob
ability of others doing so later Lack
of life in spots and fine weather for
the new crop work were also bearish
features.
Liverpool weakness was met by ours
of yesterday and spot business over
there, was small, while Manchester
cabled discouragingly, cloths being
quiet and very small business with
yarns irregular and depressed.
There was no support from the
professionals in evidence and a re-
port that large Wall Street operators
had put out a short line of cotton
had some weight. The South was
reported selling towards noon and
low grades were said to be pressed
for sale at some centers.
Receipts were small enough but
stocks were not decreasing and the
fact that at some centers there was
an increase in stock was not lost
sight of by the bears. There is dan
ger in overstaying on the short side,
however, for spinners must buy their
supplies sooner or later and the
holders are not out of the running yet
by any means.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
gcads it thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
ceSSeS which are almost exactly like the
churning Of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul 1t
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste In the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the disSem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DR.. ~Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-abSolutely
removes every ,tainting or cOrrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimpleS, eruptiOnS ScrofulOuS swellingS,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humOrs or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
