We wonder II you ielt that you
were buying some splendid goods for
the money; that you were getting,
good values-a little more than you
could get anywhere else--lf YOU
would not buy nice Buggy OF

want. We believe you know good
value when you see it; we believe
you are a sufficiently good Judge to

ting good value for your money.

value when you see it, and for these,
reasons, we invite you to call and
examine our line of Buggies, Wagons

over the county about the Poor Grade
Of Buggies they have been buying.
Now, talking about Buggies: We
wish to call your special attention to-
our Wheels. Everybody knows that
the life OF any vehicle depends large
ly on the kind OF wheels used. The
timber used in the construction OF
our High Point Wheels Is Of the Best

Hickory-the kind that all wheel
builders say is superior to that found
anywhere else. Besides, only skilled
workmen are employed in the con-
struction of these Buggies through
out.
Now, just word about Wagons:
Why pay $50 to $75 for q Twc-Horsa
Wagon when you can buy just as
good for $50, and One-Horse Wagons

house full to select from?

ANsEL ON SOUTHERN THIRST,
Warns the New Workers that Dry
Time is Coming in the South.


New York, Oct. 1O.--According to
Governor Nj. F. Ansel, OF South Car
olina, the South viii stand solidly
for prohibition within the next five
years. He expressed an opinion to
that effect to-day. The Governor is
in the city to attend the annual
meeting of the George Peabody Edu-
cational fund
1t looks to me as If the South
would be solidly prohibition within
the next five years." declared the
Governor Prohibition is making
tremendous strides all through the
South. In my own State the places
where thirsty man can get drink
are few and far between"
And then he proceeded to tell how
prohibition had gained foothoid in
the State and spread prior to August
last.
Fifteen additional counties went
dry at the elections in that month";"
he continued, "and after November
10 next it will be possible to get a
drink in only six counties of the
State and then only through the me-
dunn OF the county dispensary."
Governor Ansel discussed other
phases of the liquor question and con-
cluded by saying that there is no
doubt that the prohibition movement
has come to stay and that 1t Is maxi
ing steady progress" Such a potent
factor has it become throughout the
South, he stated, that all political
parties are forced to recognize the
issue,

NOW FOR A BIG COTTON FARM.
British-German Syndicate Buys 25O,-
900 Acres Texas Cotton Land.

Galveston, Texas, Oct. 1S.-A deal
has just been closed whereby 25O,-
600 acres Of land have been sold to
syndicate representing British and
German spinners who propose grow
ing cotton for direct shipment to
Liverpool and Berlin spinners. The
agents for the syndicate hold op-
tions on more than $4,000 acres
more. While the price is not an
nounced, the consideration is said to
be about $4,000,000.
The land is situated in Webb, La
Sale, Frisco and Medina counties, in
"a Sthwest Texas, convenient to the
III Rroads and colse to several Ger
man settlements. The cultivation of
the land will be mainly by German
farmers. The plan is to colonize the
cotton growers in small settlements
in the center sections containing
about 5000 to 5000 acres, and the
cotton crops will be pledged to the
spinners and shipped direct to them.
This project has been considered for
several years, but it is the first time
the spinners actually have bought
land in the United States.
The Farmers Union has fought
the movement for the last three
years. The spinners declare it a
stroke of economy on their part, and
argue that the growers who sell cot
ton direct to them will make a big
ger profit than under the present sys-

Pcllagra Due to Impure Water.

Army surgeons, says AZ Washing
ton dispatch, have just made i'm
portant discoveries as to the origin
of the dread disease "pellagra.
These discoveries have been made at
Peoria, at the Illinois State General
Hospital for the Insane, where a
close study of the disease has been
conducted by Surgeons Joseph +.
Siler and Henry j. Nichols. 1t has
been found that spoiled corn or corn
which has fermented does not cause
the trouble. 1t appears that patients
aAlicted with pellagra have first un-
dergone an aGliction Of the intesti-
nal tract, resembling dysentery which
is often brought about by an impure
supply Of water. 1t appears that the
army surgeons found great ignorance
at the Peoria hospital as to the ma
turc Of pellagra. II is alleged that
several hospital attendants were dis
charged because Of the belief they
had scalded pellagra patients. The
pecling cuticle on the hands and
arms. the authorities thought, was
caused by scalding water instead OF
by a disease.

Kinley. The affidavit was made be-
fore a notary public at Tacoma,

was the only person present with DR..
Cook on the da.e when he claims to
have reached the summit of Mt. Me-
Kinley; that hey did not in fact
reach the sun nit, and the nearest
point to the srL'.nit reached was at
least fourteen miles distant from the
summit of that mountain, the e'eva-

feet. Barrills affidavit also brings

CONGRESS TO CIT EXPENSES.
President to Heartily support Plans
Against Government Extravaganza.

Washington, Oct l6---"The House
will make a record for economy in
public expenditures this coming ses-
sion and we will be backed by the
President said Representative Il.
S. Butler, of PennSylvania, one of
the veteran Republican members of
the House. Mr.. Butler is serving
his seventh consecutive term He is
chairman of the committee on Pacific
railroads and a -Iember of the COM
mittee on naval affairs. He has al
ways taken an interest in the navy,
and ranks as an authority on naval
matters. For one he is inclined to
favor the proposition of navy yard
consolidation in the interest of econ
omy.
The Presidents insistence upon
economy said Mr.. Butler, will en-
courage Congress to exercise special
care in appropriating money for gov
ernment expenditures next winter,
and upon his expressed command de-
partment officials are now pruning
their estimates to the very edge
where actual neecs end and eXtrava-
gances begin. There is no question
but that the administration of our
affairs costs too much. Indeed,
know 1t. Why not treat the situation
as successful business men treat
their own affairs? When their eX-
penditures exceed their revenues.
every method known is applied and
new methods devised TO turn the ac-
count. Many of the bureau chiefs
who make the department estimates
never earned a dollar except that
which comes from the national trea-
sury, which they have been natu-
rally educated to think has no bot
tom. When Congress begins It's
whote tesale economy danger to the
good of the service need not necessa-
rily arise. If the President will re-
strain the official pride of the bureau
chief and teach him to contract his
uncomfortable desire to expand, the
first step has been made toward
financial prudence"

.Lnarchist Fc.r'cr Shot b. Spaniards.

Paris, Oct. 5.-Barcelona dis
patches state that Francisco Ferrer
WAS executed Wednesday morning
for completely in the July revolution.
There is a general outcry throughout
Europe against the execution and
fears are entertained that it will pre-
cipitate a Spanish revolution. The
Socialists expected the King to COM
mute both sentences and it is now
feared they will attempt to assassin
ate the King in revenge.
Ferrer'S courtmartial trial was
generally declared a farce. RiOting
has already begun on account of the
execution and the government houses
have been attacked. The revolu-
tionary spirit runs high and serious
consequences are probable.
