Hons Gone Dry.

The Nmporia Gazette says all the
town hens have gone dry, and are
laying no eggs. now that eggs are
worth money. 1t is always the way
with town hens. They are absurdly
industrious, and go around laying
all sorts Of plain and fancy eggs.
when hen fruit is so plentiful tnat
you can't give it away to a charity
organization. but when the price
goes up and eggs would be worth
while, the fool critters spend their
time shedding their feathers. One
set OF feathers ought to last hen
lifetime;. Just think Of the time
wasted every fall getting rid of old
feathers and growing new anes, and
nothing doing in the egg depart

BITE OF MAD DOG
Proves Fatal to an Elberton, Ga,
Retail Merchant.

A dispatch to the Atlanta Journal
from Elberton, Ga, says Matthew
Berman, the merchant who was Bit
ten by mad dog on the night OF
October Isl, died Thursday night a.
II O'Clock, after an illness Of two
days from hrdrophobia.
Mr.. Berman did not become vio-
lent until two days before his death.
One great fear in his lucid moments
seemed to be that he would injnre
somebody. About 6 o'clock he broke
10 Sc from his attendants and jump
Ell through the window. He was
brought back to the house, but later
broke away again, and running to the
bath room drank water as if he could
never get enough. He seemed to
be burning up with thirst. Later
he asked that he be strapped to his
bed, and this request was complied
with.
Just before he died, after one OF
his paroxisms, he asked that every
one leave his room. Though
strapped to the bed his fear that he
would injure some one was so great
that he wanted to be alone. 1t WAS
soon after this, while alone, that he
died. =

GIVE THIS A TRIAL.
Hon. saml. Dibble Tells of a Remedy
for Diptheria.

The Hon. Saml. Dibble writes
this to the Southern Christian Adyo-
cate:
"I visited Dorchester county last
week and in the section where i
happened to be I found some anxt-
ETY. about the prevalence of dipthe-
ria. 1 mentioned a sure and true
preventive of this dreadful disease.
and wish to give 1t to your readers,
in the interest Of humanity. 1t is
simply old fashioned black gunpow-
der placed On the tongue daily -
about as much as the blade Of a
penknife or the handle of teaspoon
will hold. About fifty or sixty years
ago, in my youth, Rev. j. T. Wight
man was pastor of Trinity Methodist
Church in Charleston, of which l was
member. The diptheria was epi-
demic in the city and in the resi-
dences on both sides of the parson-
age there were cases in the two
families. Rev.&John T. Wightman
every morning assembled his wife
and children, gave them the gun
powder on the tongue, and took If
himself In discha- e of his pasto-
raj duties he visited daily members
of his congregation stricken with
diptheria in all stages of the dis
ease. He did not take it, nor did anv

of 1901, seven years ago, / was in
a hospital in Baltimore, where the
venerable Rev. DR.. Wightman resid-
ed after long service in the ministry,
and learning of my being in, the city,
visited me frequently. One day in
conversation I spoke of the circum-
stances mentioned above ,and he not
only confirmed my statement, but
remarked that in his pastoral career.
he had tested the value of his pre-
ventive frequently and had given
the information to others, and in
no instance had he ever known #
to fail. 1t is perfectly harmless,
being a simple mixture Of sulphur,
willow charcoal and. saltpeter. It
is worth the trial.

SENATOR TILLMAN IN COLUMBIA
He Is Looking Well and Is Greeted
by Friends.

In the best of health, after several
months tour Of England and Europe
accompanied by Mrs. Tillman and DR..
! Babcock, Senator Tillman Is a visitor
to Columbia enjoying the reception
accorded him by friends on every
side. Always interesting, both in
manner and conversation, the senior
senator is considered a valuable
find, by newspaper men the coun.
try over, and when he visits the
capital city of this State, he is sought
after with no little pleasure and an
ticipation of something worth print
ing. Senator Tillman was al
home" to two local newspaper men
at the residence of his friend, Dr.
Babcock, at the State Hospital 70:
the Insane.
In the parlor, with its furnishing
of antique design, the senator seated
himself in the inviting depths Of d
massive couch and related many Incl.
dents of his tour abroad. He dis.
cussed neither the politics or policies
Of foreign governments, which show
ed that he kept inviolate his decision
made prior to his departure that he
would let severely alone all matters
of national or International moment,
and devote his time to recuperation
and taking advantage Of foreign
sights and scenes. He travelled as
any other citizen, laying aside his
senatorial toga, and spent the months
in enjoying whatever came his way.
Yes, my health was pretty bad
after that strenuous period Of con-
gressional activities. he said. "and
my nerves we're almost wreck.
Crossed wires. one might say. But
thanks to the care of Mrs. Tillman
and DR.. Babcock, | am myself again.
II never noticed any intoxicated
citizens while abroad, even In those
countries where beer and wines are
the national beverages The people
seem to drink In a rational sort OF
way and over indulgence seems to be
an exception"
This was about as near as the sen
ator would commit himself to dis
cusion Of prohibition, though he did
venture an opinion that he believed
that if the sale of beer in a State
were given oyer to one large brewery
under high license, 1t might prove
an ideal method for State to settle
that feature of the problem Of the
sale of one of the alcoholic bever-
ages.

for Victims.

1Or tlCCl1nS.
A dispatch from Atlanta says had
not the State board of health made
arrangements for treating free OF
charge persons threatened with hy-
drophobia, it Is quite probable that
many deaths from this dread diseasa
would have rsulted during the past
summer and fall. The season just
passed was one most unusual in
this line. There seemed to have
been an epidemic of mad dogs.
Realizing that there were many
people in the State who might be
victims Of rabid dogs and who did
not have the means to pay for this
treatment the State board Of health
made arrangements to treat patients
without charge il brought to Atlanta
or to send the treatment to the
physician Of the patient with instru2-
tions how to use. Since July 29,
when this plan was put into effect.

are the wife, three children and the
