MORE wHITECAP NOTICES
AND NEGROES FRIGHTENED.
Violence Again Prominent In Marshal
County. Fear At Benton.

Benton, KY, March 22.-Since
the whitecap raid on Birming.
ham, ten days ago, the negroes
here have been in a state of ter
ror. There are only thirty-five
or forty negroes here and most
of them are quiet, industrious
and useful citizens. Wednesday
night someone put a notice on a
telephone post in front of the
negroes quarters In North Ben
ton, warning all negroes IN Ben
ton to leave before the next
new moon or take the conse.
quences. Since then they are in
a state of abject fear and most
of them are making hasty prep
arations to leave.
1t is the impression that this
notice was put up by some reck-
less and mischievOus boy merely
to play on the ears of the neg
rOes.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused BY an iuaamed
condition Of the mucous lining ofths Bustaehiaa.
Tube. When this tube is inaamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, when il
is entirely closed Deafness is the result and
unless the Inflammation can be taken cut aud
this tube restored to It's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused BY catarrh. which is nothing but

Here is a simple homemade mix
ture as given by an eminent authori-
ty on Kidney diseases, who makes
the statement IN New York daily
newspaper, that it will relieve al
most any case of Kidney trouble
If taken before the stage OF Brights
disease. He states that such symp-
toms as lame back, pain in the side,
frequent desire to urinate, especially
at night; painful and discolored
urination, are readily overcome.
Here is the recipe; try it:
Fluid Extract Dadelion, one-half
ounce Compound Kargon, one ounce (;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take 9 teaspoonful after
each meal and at bedtime.
A well known druggist here IN
town is authority that these ingre-
dients are harmless and easily mix
ed at home by shaking well in a
bottle. This mixture has q peculiar
healing aud soothing effect upon the
entire Kidney and Urinary struct-
ure, and often overcomes the wost
forms Of Rheumatism In just a little
while. This mixture is to remove

increased 2O2,9 1908 in 1907, giving
the surprising total of 1864, 0S1,
which would give 66 lines of wire
around the earth at the equator
with enough left over to put Lon
don in telephone with Perkin.
But these totals are as nothing
compared to the figures of the
exchanges of the Bell companies
in the United States, exclusive
of lines. Exchange increase by
219 during 1908 as compared with
1907. The total milage of wire
in use for both exchange and toll
service was 500, 592 miles, of
which l,14l,6S7 were added dur
ing the dull year of 1907. These
figures do not include the miles
of wire operated BY sub-licenses.
Net earnings increased large
ly, but the dividen payments
made only a small advance.

end of the year operated directly
by the associated companies

SUBSCRIBERS TO THEORY or
CONSIDERABLE PUBLIC CONTROL

Washington, March 23.-Tht
largest public utility company
In the world, the American Tel
ephone & Telegraph Company,
takes the lead of its class in
following the new policies of the
large industrial company in the
world, the United States Steel
Corporation, and the largest rail
road company the Pennsylvania,
in acting the views of President
Roosevelt In regard to corpora
ton MANAGEMENT, responsibility
and regulation. Mr.. Theodore N.
Vail, president of the telephone
company, has presented a report
tostock holders covering the first
year of his administration and
receiving the thirtieth year of
the Bell organization.
This report conld not have
come from an American corpora
In any other era save the present.
Mr.. Vail gives practical support
to the Roosevelt doctrine of
physical valuation, as a basis
for establishing fair earnings and
of improving relations with the
public, by applying it's test to
his own company, and shows that
the physical valuation of the
Bell system is $34, 432, 900 in ex.
cess of the obligations in the
hands of the public, including
capital stock at par.
Equally surpressing, however,
coming from a corporation source
are Mr.. Vail's views IN regard
to public control which are made
all the more interesting by the
fact that they receive the en-
dorsement of his board of di-
rectOrs.

The Bell system showed a no.
table increase during the past
year despite the panic. In toll
lines alone 8349 miles were added
which would give a line from the
north pole along the earth's axes
making a total of 163,2lS
