VENOM AS MEDICINE
Victim of tuberculosis Says He is Be-

Rochester, Jan. S.-Henry Hoefner
a retired druggist, who has been TAX
ing crotalin, or rattlesnake venom, for
an advanced case of tuberculosis, COM
pleted his one-hundredth dose of one
fiftieth of a grain and today came after
fresh supply. He was greatly i'm
proved in appearance, his cough much
lighter, and he said that when he
coughed it did not hurt him as it did
before beginning the treatment. He
was also much stronger. He is now
sanguine that his cure will be effected
Mr.. Hoefner said: Il shall take
doses of one-twenty-fifth of grain
from now on, in a different way. What
I have taken was absorbed in sugar or
milk and divided into powders. 1 find
that the poison is likely to deteriorate
when exposed to the air, so | shall
take all future doses prepared with
guiacol, distillation of beechwood,
somewhat similar to carbolic acid, in a
proportion of 1 to 4. The guiacol will,
/ believe, keep the venom at its full
strength.

az Eed mystery?
trent report is to this effect, and
-. McCrory did not wholly deny the
Sstory when asked about it while in
Americus yesterday.
Col. McCrory, to whose diligent eff
fort the bank is thankful for the re-
covery of its lost property, thinks that
he was rather directed in the search
by another agency.
Several times quite recently he has
seen a negro man haunting the old
building, and this, perhaps, more than
any midnight dream, impelled him to
make still one more search for the
hidden treasure.
The attic of the old court house.
reached by a scuttle hole, is rather
difficult to attain, and Col McCrory
enlisted the services of Mr.. Jas. Rob
inson in the search, telling him that in
the event the lost notes should be
found that they would equally divide
the reward of $500,
This was the inspiration that in
duced the latter to Glib to the attic,
amid dust and cobwebs But he was
well paid therefor.
Here's a little old hand satchel,"
called out Robinson from the rafters
But the words had a distinct musical
cadence for Col. McCrory, for he sus-
pected at once that the satchel con-
tanned the missing notes.
And it did, for it was the property
of former Cashier Walters and fire.
quentiy carried by him in his trips to
Americus. The satchel was given a
lhasty examination and the Bank of
Southwestern Georgia, in Americus, to
which the notes belonged, was at once
notified of the discovery
The bank promptly paid the reward
of $500 and Col McCrory and Mr..
Robinson thus shared the reward of
their effort and diligence,

COLLEGE is FILLED TO
LIMIT OF CAPACITY.
Work at the Agricultural
School.
New Dormitory is Filled
Already--Military Fea-
ture is Enlarged.

Everything is down at work at the
Agricultural School and the school is
moving on as if there had been no in
termission for the holidays,
1t is estimated that 98 per cent of
the pupils who attended during the
fall term are back again for the
spring term work. Possibly not more
than ten per cent of the pupils return
ed to school after the first term that
the school was in operation
Since that time great improvements
have been made all along the line.
The students now at the school are
the kind that come to stay.
A large number of new students are
now at the school. Though all the
girls have been moved to the Girls
Home, every place has been taken
in the boys dormitory. No others can
be admitted in the dormitory till a va
cancy may occur. Quite a number
of names are already on file, but It is
not known whether they will wait for
a vacancy to occur or attend some
other school.
Interest has been manifested in the
school all over the state and the
South 1t has been the purpose of the
management to make the school more
than local and as broad as the country,
but it now seems that some restric-
tion will have to be put upon the pat
ronage, or that the state will have to
come to the relief and provide facili-
ties for more extensive operation Of
the work.
While a few more girls can be ad-
mitted at the Girls Home, the former
Simmons residence, it is expected that
within a week that the same condi-
tions will prevail there as at the boys
dormitory. Girls are now at the
school that have attended some of the
other schools of the kind in the state,
while inquiries are coming from all
sections.
Every department of the work at
Iu0 SCHOOI mas D6eu We'll organized.
One new feature will be the establish
ing of the poultry yards at the Girls
Home on Fielder street. This depart
ment, hereafter, will be operated ex-
clusively by the girls.
The military feature of the school
has grown to such proportions that
sas6msgu guipment must be provided.
" en decided to dispense with
u army rifles now being used
- to provide a more up-to-date gun,
This will be done at an early date.
The cadets are now organizing mill
tary band and will soon be ready to
appear in public on state and other
occasions.
There is a great future ahead for the
school Americus and Sumter have
cause to be proud of this school that,
like her roads, is giving the city and
the county state wide reputation.
