TRUTH ABOUT CATARRH
Sensible Methods VIII cure II. DOd-
sons Pharmacy Guarantee Hy-
omel to Cure Catarrh.

Catarrh can never be cured by TAX
ing medicines into the stomach nor by
sprays. atomizers or douches
Intelligent physicians have long ago
discarded such ideas and not one of
them would be worth consideration
were 1t not for the fact that unscrup-
ulous persons prey upon the ignor-
ance of the people in regard to new
discoveries.
Catarrh is caused by germs and just
as long as these germs thrive in the
folds. crevices, hooks and corners of
the mucous membrane that line the
nose, throat and chest, just 80 long
will you have catarrh.
There is only one way to cure
catarrh. and that is to kill the germs.
There is only one remedy that will
kill the germs when it gets where the
germs are, and that is Hyomei.
Hyomei is made chiefly from Aus
tralian Eucalyptus and Eucalyptol
combined with other germ killing anti
septics. Just breathe it in through the
| hard rubber inhaler that comes with
| each outfit and relief is immediate.
| Used regularly for few weeks Hy-
omei pronounced High-o-me) will
cure chronic catarrh. Complete outfit

REFORMS HIS PRISONERS

California Judge Requires Probation.
ers to Start Bank Accounts.

Los Angeles, Nov. 30.-Judge Willis
has recently invoked as a condition
of probation In his court the saving
of money on the part of the accused
during the whole term of parole, the
sums that must be set aside varying
with the ability of the prisoner to
mage money.
In some cases the amount fixed is
but 81 month; in others 1t runs as
high as $40. 1t must be deposited in
a bank, and the accused must show
his deposit book to the chief probation
officer. In one case the man wanted
to pay the money on little home
The court consented to this.
Put a dollar in a mans pocket and
he has feeling of independence, -
said Judge Willis today. IF he knows
he has a bank account he becomes a
better citizen. This city is full of
business men who have arisen to af-
affiuence and prominence all because
they know how to save that first dol
lar. The weak should be encouraged
to lay away something for that rainy
day"
There is nothing so encouraging
to a fellow as the possession of a few
dollars honestly earned. It has lifted
many poor devil out of temptation

CLERK PUT JORDAN TO
DEATH IN RABBIT HUNT
Game Scarce, He Winged a
Coon lnsteld.

Stewart Clark, Zulu gunner, was
corralled by Deputy Sheriff Fuller
shortly before daylight yesterday as
he sprinted away from Sumter county
after having punctured the mortal
tire of Jordan Mann, an industrious
old negro, who lived on little farm
out near Flint river.
Mann was shot down at his cane
mill by Clark, who lived on another
farm and merely butted into the cane
fest, unlimited, while out chasing rab-
bits Monday.
Z The case appears one of wanton
killing. from the meagre reports made
of it here yesterday.
Jordan Mann was grinding cane at
his mill, as stated. AS Gunner Stew
art came up Mann, negro-like, said
something to provoke a laugh at him.
For this jest, it is said, Stewart
knocked Mann down with his gun and
then added the finishing touches by
shooting him.
1t was just a crime like dozens Of
others committed here among negroes
shooting for fun, and taking human
life wantonly

SOUTH'S CROP WORTH

Baltimore, Nov 3O.-Of the $500

States have yielded In 1909 the South's
share is $2,400,O0e,000 according to
estimates that the Manufacturers
Record gives in this weeks issue,
based on the latest available reports
OF the South's total between 5000 ,000,-
600 and 81 100000 1000 represents the
crop of cotton with its seeds, now
coming on the market, an increase of
between $150.000,000 ar 100000, 900
over 1908. though the number of bales
this year probably will be more than
100000 less than last years crop.
In the value of crops cotton ranks
second to corn, with wheat and hay
following. Averaging annually be-
tween 20 and so per cent of the
worlds crop, the cotton crop OF this
country constituting the foundation
for manufacturing industry second
only to that of iron and steel, appeals
more strongly than any other Ameri-

There is more Catarrh In this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together. and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and
prescribed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
r. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally In doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. Ii

General Passenger Agent.

The above letter, received yester-
day, confirms the statement published
in the Times-Recorder yesterday that
the Central of Georgia officials are
willing and anxious to do all in their
power to make the advertising done
by the Board of Trade of Americas
efticacious. No better means of dis
tribution of the projected pamphlet
can be found than is afforded on the
Seminole Limited" and at the great
ticket offices of the West, where those
contemplating trips to the South, for
business, for pleasure or for health,
naturally go for information.
Yesterday Chairman Sheffield of the
County Commissioners accompanied
Photographer Kelly on a trip over
some of Sumter's magnificent high
ways to secure views from which a
couple of illustrations can be made
for the Board of Trade pamphlet,
showing what Sumter county has to
offer in the way of fine highways for
Automobiles, drivers and riders. A
half dozen or more were secured.
While it is not generally known, there
are now approaching fifty miles of
these finely improved highways in the
comfy, and no end of views can be
had Showing stretches Of level,
straight, welI-drained, well-nigh per-
feet roadways. From the photos Sc
cured Chairman Sheffield will select
two that he regards as worthiiy Illus
trating what Sumter possesses in this

will be full page, that will appear in

bacco fields, peach orchard scene,
a hog killing scene, two good roads
views, National Cemetery and a
park scene at Andersonville. a picture
of the proposed country club home,

idea is to have all new cuts made,
to have the pamphlet printed on good
book paper and with an attractive

tration, Mr.. Fairbanks said:
The New dnnInistration.
THE new administration starts with
every assurance of success. The pres.
ident was wise in calling congress in
extraordinary session at the earliest
practicable date so that tariff revision
might be speedily effected. II is quite
natural that there should be more OF
less hesitancy in the business world
until the uncertainty as TO what will
be done with the various schedules is
definitely put to rest. When revision
is accomplished, If il is done on proper
lines, II will tend to give stability to
industry and trade and will result In
the improvement Of business condi.
tlons. Such improvement will prob.
ably be gradual, yet it will be certain.
Mr. Fairbanks, after he has taken q
few months vacation, will resume the
practice of law in indianapolis.
