Avoid ssd.,iye Cough Medicine.

If you want to contribute dir
ectly to the occurance Of capillary
bronchitis and pneumonia use
cough medicines that contain
codine, morphine, heroin and
other sedatlves when you have a
cough or cold. An expectorant
like Chamberlain's Cough Rene

breeding places for the germs of
pneumonia never results from a
cold when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is used. 1t has world

The Shooting Tournament

Local Gun Club men were dis
appointed in not having any out
side teams here last Saturday to
compete with them in the shoot
ing tournment, but they went
out and had some fun among
themselves. They spent over
half a day at the traps and made
some of the poorest scores yet
recorded by the local shooters.
In fact it was so poor they have
purposely lost the score book in
order to prevent The Times
Herald man from publishing
them. That is not the excuse
given, but he is positive such is
the case. Frank Triske made
the highest score, but aside from
this we are unable to get any
other information.

Refuge For China Pheasants

Game Warden Mace has sue,
eeeded in securing a big territory
as refuge for the China pheas-
ants recently shipped in here by
the state at the solicitation OF
the Rod and Gun Club. The
birds are yet in confinement but
will be liberated later on the pre-
serve established for them thru
the work Of Mr.. Mace.
He has succeeded in securing all
the territory from his place just
across Silvies River east of
Burns to the upper Mace place,
formerly the Blume place, some
20 miles up the river, reserved
for the protection of such birds
for a term Of years and the farm
ers will not only protect them,
preventing any shooting on the
lands, but will also care for the
birds In the winter when it is
seen they need shelter and feed.
With such an arrangement these
game birds should propagate rap
idly and become plentiful in a
short time.
Next season will witness a far
greater activity in securing more
game birds and fish than the
present has been, thus it will be
seen that Harvey county is go
ing 10 continue in the front rank
Of all the west in the matter Of
aams.

New System!
New Goods!


Having cut out the long credit
system, we are prepared to give
prices which will pay you to buy at
home. Remember, when you buy
at home you create a market for
what you have to sell, no matter
what it consists of, whether it be
farm products, labor or legal ad-
wise, you don't help your own COM
munity, when you go outside to
trade; you don't help the farmers
when you buy outside flour. Last
year many people sent away and
went outside to trade. What is the
result? The wheels of industry
have been idle, no building, no bus
mess, no work, no market. Heavy
crops are being harvested and still
large portion of the old crop is
on hand. 1t is now time for the
people to get together if they want
prosperity at home. Trade at our
place if you can; if not trade with
our competitor; but Trade at Home

SUICIDES ARE ON DECLINE
CENSUS BUREAU SHOWS LESS
SELF-DESTRUCTION IN 1910.
Varied Are the Means Employed for
''Shutfiing Off, by Those Who
Are Weary of Living.

WASHINGTON.-A bulletin has
been issued by the census bureau rel
ative to death by suicide. and statis-
tics on the subject show lower rate
in 1910 tnan in 1909. The death
rate per 100000 of population was
1910 for 1910 as compared with 16. 5
for 1909, according to census bulle-
tin No 100 on mortality statistics for
1910, prepared under the supervision
of DR.. Cressy l.. Wilbur, chief sta
tistician for vital statistics.
1t is stated in the bulletin that al
though the death rates for suicide
increased up to 1905 those since that
time do not indicate increased pre-
cision in the manner reporting. The
rate in 1906 was 1873; in 1907,
15.7; in 1908, 17.8.
OF the various means employed
for purposes of suicide the most i'm
portant, with the number of deaths
for each, were: Firearms, 2,561;
poison, 2,456; hanging or strangula-
ton, 1895. Others were: Asphyx-
ia, GAL; drowning, 517; cutting or
piercing instruments, 544; jumping
from high places, 1877; crushing, So;
other means, 81.
In the group made up of all the
registration states the number was
1903, or 1873 per 100000 popula-
ton, in 1910, as against 1901, or
1873, in 1909. In the rural part of
the registration states the number
was 2,796, of 1874 per 100000 pop
ulation, in 1910, as against 2,679,
or 1875 in 1909.

THIRD DISTRICT FARM SCHOOL
Grew Last Year Crops Valued at
$500, Not Including Many
of the Smaller Crops.

AMERICUS.-The value of prac-
teal agriculture as applied at the
Third district agricultural college in
Americas is demonstrated in the Of
t1cial report of Superintendent j. M.
Collum, just compiled, and covering
the farming operations for the past
year. The farm work is performed
by the students, and the fine crops
produced go a long way towards de-
fraying current expenses of the col
lege, which, by the way, has the
largest attendance, perhaps, of any
of the eleven district agricultural
institutions in the state
There was produced at the Ameri-
Gus school last year 5 Y bales of cot
ton worth $278; $40 bushels of corn,
so bushels of cotton seed, 1000
bushels of oats, 25 tons of hay, T.
400 pounds of pork, 1926 gallons
OF milk. This estimate does not in
clude the smaller crops, such as peas,
potatoes, cane, ETC., which is consid-
cradle. The total value of all crops
produced upon the farm, by actual
record, was $4,529.

This Surgeon Finds 1t Useful in OPP.
erations for PelIagra.

eratIonS for PelIagra.
DR.. A. D. Cudd, director of the
Good Samaritan hospital at Spartan
burg, S. c., recently read a paper on
pellagra, in which he said:
II would suspect the majority of
cases of pellagra to be local mala-
dy with a general systemic manifest
alton, and upon this theory l per-
formed nine operations with the loss
Of one patient and seeming recovery
of the other eight"
In four of the operations the YER
inform appendix was removed, after
which an antiseptic solution was in
jeCted through the appendix into the
colon, or lower end of the large in
testine. In DR.. Cudd's opinion the
colon is a breeding place for disease
germs, and the appendix is so ar
ranged that the surgeon can estab-
fish a natural canal through the
abdominal wall through which to
carry an antiseptic solution and de-
stroy the germs.

Taft's Campaign Committee Thinks
It's Too Much for Headquarters.


It's Too Much for Headquarters.
The high cost of living has hit the
Taft campaign committee. 1t is the
high cost of rentals for rooms in the
Washington hotels and office build
ings that has delayed the opening of
headquarters. Chairman Mckinley
is quoted as saying that it looks to
him a good deal like a hold-up on
the part of the landlords. 1t is said
that the hotel managers wanted
something like $4,000 month for a
srite of rooms, and the prices of the
office building people were not low
er. Chairman Mckinley says the
landlords and agents seem to think
the committee has more money than
it knows what to do with, which is a
gross error. The committeeman are
still carrying their offices around in
their hats, but, of course, that can't
go on many days longer.

ORR SELLS CYCLONETA FARM
FORMER DAWSON MAN GETS
$4,000 FOR PROPERTY.
The Place Was Started as an Expert
mental Farm Twenty Years
Ago by G. S. & +. Railroad.

ago Dy u. >. IN T.. railroad.
w. A. Greer of Ashburn and John
w. Greer of Triton have purchased
the Cycloneta farm from Cliff M.
Orr. This farm was started twenty
years ago as an experimental farm
by the Georgia Southern and Florida
railway, and was the first and only
farm of it's kind in South Georgia, a
monument to the foresight and pub
lie spirit of the men who built this
great highway. But when the wreck
ers took the road from the men
who built it the farm went with it.
1t was sold to George F. ODER of
Baltimore; later to J. F. Cobb of
Cordele, and about three years ago
to Mr. Orr.
The farm contains 1000 acres,
700 Of which are in cultivation and
400 stumped There is a handsome
residence and four neat cottages be-
sides the out-buildings. A model
barn, which cost $4,000, was burned
a few years ago. With the farm
the purchasers get about twenty
head of stock and a lot of valuable
farm machinery. The purchase price
was less than $4,000, about one
third the amount it cost.
The purchasers are not yet pre-
pared to say what they will do with
this valuable property, but it is
probable that it will be cut into
small farms and sold to home-seek-
ers.
