Demopolis. July 25-(SpeciaD-The
cotton crop has suffered in this Sec
ton. except in q few localities, on ac-
count of dry weather. The precipita-
tions has been very light In the past
four weeks
The plant is very small. In most
fields the color is good. The fields
part of June. They are not now in
full bloom. thus indicating that the
plant Is thirty days late. There are
some fields fairly we'll advanced to
two weeks late, while others, especial
ly in the river bottoms are six weeks
late. ,,--
Some farmers have sold forward de-
liveries at eleven and twelve cents.
These are said to be sending out opti-
mistic reports of the crop, not justi-
fled by the actual situation. Some of
these same farmers and some cotton
men and merchants are selling futures
and bearing the market.
This section has a chance to make
some better than a half crop IL frost
is late and the atmospheric conditions
are suited to cotton.
There will be q much greater yield
of corn than for many years.
Thomaston. July 25-(special)-
The weather for the past two weeks
could not have been more favorable
for crops. Cotton improving fast.
Some complain of too much weed and
no fruit. Should August be as favor

decision is allowed to stand.
John d. Rockefeller spoke whereof
he knew when he declared the morn.

DISPUTE Will
OF Marquis
Hearing Of the Celebrated Suit
VIII Be Had in Philadel-
phia This Afternoon.
Associated Press.


Philadelphia, February pa hear
ing is set for today in the suit to pre-
vent the probating of a codicil attach
ed to the will of Marquis Percy de al
Roche, who died in Rome, in April
1907. The testator, who was known in
Philadelphia, had spent many years of
his life in Rome, and for a time held
the office of household chamberlain to
Pope Plus x, position he had pre-
viously occupied for some years under
Pope Leo XIII.
He left an estate valued at over
100000 which, under the provisions of
the will proper. was distributed among
various relatives. A large portion of
the fortune, however, was left to the
beneficiaries during life, the principal
upon their decease to revert to various
institutions Connected with the Catho-
lie Church.
Attached to the will was a codicil
which revoked a bequest of $500 to
Claude de la Roche Francis, nephew,
and it is upon the question of the va
lidity of the codicil that the present
contest was brought.

! Baltimore, February 23.-Nearly a
thousand members of the International
Association of Master Painters and
Decorators of the United States and
Canada assembled in Baltimore today
to open the twenty-fifth annual con-
vention and were given the glad hand
by the local members, municipal Off

hibition of the tools and modern ap-
pliances that are used in the painting
and decorating trades. Architects and
others interested in building and deco
rating are especially invited to this ex-
hibition.
Many entertainments of an elaborate
character have been arranged for the

ton.

Chicago, February 23.-In the Uni
ted States district court, Judge A. B.
Anderson presiding, the second trial of
the rebate case against the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana was common
ced today. Great popular interest was
manifested in the trial and the court
room was crowded. At the first trial
before Judge Lands, the oil trust was
convicted on 1,462 counts and fined
$29,240,0 900, the largest fine ever i'm
posed by any court. This was re-
versed by the appellate court, and on
January 4 last the United States SUI
preme Court dismissed the govern
ment's appeal for review. The case
will now be retired and the first guns
in the imposing legal battle were fired
shortly after Judge Anderson called
the court to order this morning. 1t is
not likely that John D. Rockefeller
will be called upon to testify at this
trial

What 1t Is

What 1t Is
Is liquid and digests ALL foods.
Because food must digest.
Undgested food causes trouble sooner or
later.
Long continued indigestion results in various
kinds of dyspepsia, rheumatism, neuralgia and
other diseases hard or impossible to cure
At the least, indigestion deprives the system
Of nourishment. A poorly nourished body falls
easy victim to the prowng microbes of
tagious and infectious diseases.
Someone had to make digester-a perfect
digester.
We did ii and named it Kodol!
Why 1t Is
The perfect digester must be in liquid form
so that its action may be quick as it be
swallowed The perfect digester must be
harmless Kodol contains no narcotic other
hurtful ingredients The perfect digester must
have tonic qualities.
Kodol is liquid
Kodol increases food-enjoyment, and that with
out the ieffects of tonics based on sumulants.
Kodol is the result of a careful analysis of all
of the digestive fluids In the mouth, stomach
and intestines, and of observation of their ef-
feets separately and in combination, on all class
es of food that people eat.
Albumen is digested by pepsin. Kodol con-
tains pepsin 1t also contains hydrochlorc
acid because pepsin cannot do complete work with
out it; and pancreatin because that too is neces-
sary There fats and starch and other food
elements, to be looked after
Kodol will take care Of any or all.
What Il Does
It stops indigestion, by taking the place Of the
digestive fluids 1t prevents disease by reducing
the tendency It tones the system by restoring
mot stimulating) the appetite. 1t induces sleep
without being sedative 1t emptes the bowels
