ing not only their normal number OF
market cattle. but also their breeding
stock. The result will be next year a
scarcity of young cattle. and the meat
market will necessarily show the erect
in much higher prices than have pre-
vailed even during the past few years
of greatly advanced meat rates. The
worst of this condition is that 1t may
be several years before the stock OF
breeding cattle is restored to normal
basis. Possibly this will eventually
have the good result Of improving the
stock, but meanwhile the consumers
are almost certs in to suffer. No one
can predict the outcome In terms OF
dollars and cents. but certainly the net
cost to the people of the United States
If the heat and dry weather which the
western country endured this summer
will be an enormous sum, paid for
dearer meats.

At the Sanitarium,

A weary traveller halted at the threshold

And how are We to know

Convict Road Makers.

From the Chicago 1nter Ocean.
The plan, new in Illinois but successful
elsewhere. of having convicts employed
on the roads under the ''honor system
has begun. It will be given a fair trial
and there is little doubt of its success. In
brief. the system is to have convicts, Sc
lected because. of their demonstrated
trustw orthncss. so into camp at some
spot in the vicinity of which road is
to be constructed and to live there while
employed in road construction in pretty
much the same manner as a road gang of
free men would. They are put on honor
not to escape. have very little guarding
and are expected to comport themselves
as decent men should. Their road work
counts additionally toward their good
behavior time. The plan was first used
by Thomas lyman. warden of the Colo
RADIO state penitentiary, and with excel
lent results. Mr.. Tynan's confidence in
the men was not abused, and in the four
or five years that the plan has been in
operation there have been astonishingly
few attempts at escape.

The automobile is always mentioned as
an influence in the career of a man who

CT. LOUIS, Mo, June ~ 1gI3,-"My
y wife was troubled with what
looked like water blisters on the
back of her hands They itched and
burned SO much that she had to be
rubbing them most of the time After
while they broke open and began
running together, leaving a raw and
very unsightly sore, SO that she had
to wear gloves whenever she went
out
we tried a half-dozen different
remedies and prescriptions. but to no
avail. until one day l received sam
pie of Resinol Soap and Resinol
Ointment. She got so much encour-
agement from the sample that I
bought large jar of Resinol Oint-
ment and cake of ReSinol Soap
After using it about three nights we
discovered great improvement In
about a week a skin began to form,
and the itching and burning ceased.
After using only one jar of Reslnol
Ointment and a cake of Resinol Soap
she was entirely cured. This was six
years ago, and she has not been
troubled SINCE (Signed Charles

congress on Tuesday adopted the

provisions regarding speculation

Many Litigated Matters to be
Disposed of by Judge Nc
Cool at Coming Term.
48 CASES AWAITING TRIAL
Most Of Them, However, are
Suits for Divorce, and can be
Quickly Disposed Of.

With Judge James F. McCoOl
of Kosciusko presiding. the fall
term of chancery court for
Lowndes county will convene at
the court house in this city at
nine o'clock next Monday morn
ing.
The docket is rather heavy
one. containing forty-eight cases.
OF this number, however. thirty
two are suits for divorce. and as
cases of this kind can be quickly
disposed of court is not likely to
be in session for any extended
period.
The litigated cases. outside of
those praying for divorces, are
mostly petitions for divisions of
property and other similar pro-
ceedings which hold little inter-
est for the public, and nothing of
an extraordinary news value is
expected to develop during the
term.
Chancellor McCool is noted for
the rapidity with which he trans
acts business. as he realizes the
fact that such course saves
money for the tax payers, and
while the docket is large there
are many cases thereon which
can be disposed of in few min
utes. and the term is hardly ex-
pected to last more than four or
five days.

NAN KILLED WHILE CHASING
ROBBERS WAS NISSISSIppIAH
W. c. Bonner. Birmingham Off
Ger AccidentIy Shot, was Ma
tive Of West Point.

W. c. Bonner. the deputy sher-
iff from Birmingham who was
accidentally killed while search
ing for the bandits who robbed
an Alabama Great Southern pas
senger train near Bibbville. Ala.
last week. was a native of Missis-
sippi, having been born at West
Point thirty-three years ago.
He was a member of a we'll
known family. having been the
son of DR.. Frank Bonner. a prac-
ticing physician at West Point,
and having married Miss Flowella
youngblood of Birmingham. who
is the daughter Of Col, William
Youngblood. a prominent politi-
clan.
According to officers with the
possee, Bonner was shot by w.
S. Cope. a deputy sheriff from
Montgomery. While Cope ac-
knowledges that his was gun acei-
dentally discharged, he denies it
was a bullet from his rifle that
killed Bonner. His comrades,
however, are unanimous in de-
claring that the bullet did strike
Bonner, causing almost instant
death.
The shooting was unquestion-
ably accidental. and it is doubtful
if any effort will be made to pun
ish Cope.
