CROPS IN IBERIA.

Another week of ideal weather,
of cool, frosty nights and sun
shiny days, has brought the cane
and sugar producers very near
the end of their harvest indeed
many are finished and feel much
relieved and satisfied that their
entire crop was saved at the min
mum of expense. Thin ice was
seen Tuesday morning and a bit
ing North wind called for over
coats and extra clothing, but
Wednesday it moderated some
what and only light frost was
discerned. The sugar content
of the cane has improved very
much, nearly all the factories ex-
pressing satisfaction, but giving
no details. The price for cane is
disappointing, especially where
there is no competition, which
has put prices down even below
So, which is very discouraging
and begets the desire to plant no
more cane. Reports from differ.
ent parts of the parish concur in
the bad condition of the seed
cane, which seems to be affected
with the dry rot, all eyes being
dead, but the cane well preserved.
Quite q number are taking up
their windrows and delivering
them at the mill as they are per-
fectly4sound in all other respects.
The prospect is good for high
prices for seed cane and those
who have good cane standing are
imporuuned to sell same for seed
notwithstanding the contracts
for delivery to the mills. Much
of the standing cane is yet good
fou seed, something not seen for
years at this time in December.
The factories are beginning to see
the end of their grinding. Vida
has closed down; Maria Gen.
tral" will finish Thursday or Fri
day Of this week, with a record
of about 5000 tons, which is not
one-third of the capacity of this
magnificent plant. It is hoped
that with the liberal offers made
by this long established factory
almost the pioneer Of the i'll
dustry in this section--the large
tonnage to this deserving CON-
pany. "Morbihan" factory is
still running with good supplies
of cane; not hitch of delay to
stop the continuous stream Of rich
juice to the CHARTERS; Morbihan
will break her record by a ton
mage of $4,000 tons. Sugar con-
tent is very satisfactory; the
campaign will last till the end of
the month.

the cane shipments continue

STRIKE CALLED IN EUGENIC
MARRIAGE,

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 16.-The
Milwaukee Medical Society has
decided not to comply with the
state eugenic marriage lhw pro-
viding that all candidates for
marriage must prove their physi-
cal fitness by the production of a
physicians certificate. The doe.
tors say they cannot afford to
give such an examination for So,
the statutory price. The at
torney general to-day ruled that
the doctors cannot be forced to
issue certificates for So.
If doctors refuse to issue cer-
tiicates there can be no mar
riages solemnized in Wisconsin
after Jan. /, except by securing
certificates from the regular
county physicians, who will be
able to make the required tests
through the State Board OF
Health. With the state board
making all tests for the state,
however, trere win be great de
lay attendant upon all applica-
tions for marriage licenses.

You have probably heard dOz-

is at least one druggist in the
world that you cant say this
about.
1t is certain that an inferior
article will never be substituted
for guaranteed one by John r.
Taylor drug store. Take for in
stance a safe, reliable remedy for
constipation and liver trouble
like Dodson's Liver Tone. This
harmless vegetable liquid has
proved so satisfactory a liver
stimulant and reliever of bilious
ness, and to entirely take the
place of calomel without any dan
ger or restriction of habits or
diet, that there are dozens of
preparations springing up with
limitations of its claims.
But DodsOn 3 Liver Tone is
guaranteed to do all that is
Gained for it, and if you are not
satisfied with it, John r. Taylor
& Bro. will hand your money back
with a smile. Any person going
to this store for a bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone will be sure Of

the pardon petition of DR.. W. ],
McNaughton, the Swainsboro doctor,
who is now under sentence to be
hanged October 5th. McNaughlbon S
fate is now entirely in the governor 5
hands. The prison commission has
recommended full pardon for the
condemned physician, but the governor
is not compelled to follow the recon-
mendation.
He will use his own discretion in
disposing of the case. A rather awk-
ward situation in connection with the
case is presented by reason of the
fact that Judge T. E. Patterson, one
member off the prison commission
dissents from the recommendation for
full pardon.
Judge Patterson submitted a state
ment to the governor in which he
gave it as his opinion that DR.. Nc.
Naughton's sentence should be com
muted to life Imprisonment, but that
he did not favor pardon for him
Governor Slaton already has begun
study of the voluminous record in
the case and will thoroughly acquain;
himself with it before he sets the
date for the hearing which the at.
torneys representing DR. Nc
Naughton and those representing tht
state will be invited to attend.
Final action by the governor is eX

The BOARD of city tax assessors,
Messrs. P. B Williford, H. D. Watts
and, Frank J. Payne, announced yes
terday the completion of their work of
assessing values for the current year
and the lists are now in the hands Of
City Clerk H. w. Weaver for compil-
alton. This will require several days,
but within the week, it is expected,
the footings can be announced.
The assessors were employed seven
weeks upon the task, and the never
again" look of at least two of them
lis that it was trying one.
The assessors found real estate that
had not been returned in years for
taxation, and their diligence in this
respect will bring many added dollars
into the city treasury. Many proper
ties were arbitrated where owners OBJ
jected to increased valuations put
upon it by the assessors, thus pro-
longing the task of making up the final
returns.
While the taxable values Of the city
are not yet known, it is believed that
the total will be between $4,OOO,O0J
and $4,5OO,OOO.
