|. w. GIBSON DEAD.

J.. w. Gibson, the well-known
tobacco manufacturer, died at his
home in South Camden Saturday
about 8 p. m. He had been in
feeble health for sometime, and
his death was not unexpected.
Mr.. Gibson was among the best
known citizens of the county, hav-
ing been engaged in the tobacco
business here number of years,
He was born July 27, 1887, in De-
catur County, where he spent the
early part of his life, and then
moved to Coxburg in this county.
At the age of % he went to Texas,
where he joined the Confederate
Army and served through the
Civil War. When the conflict was
over and peace restored he return
ed to Tennessee and made this
State his home.
He was married to Martha Hat
ley in 1866. Four children were
born of this union, all preceding
him to the grave. In 1874 he was
married to Mary Barr, to which
union eight children were born.
Their Oldest daughter died. at the
age of three years. Mr., Gibson
is survived by his widow and Mrs.
j. Ii. Whitfield, Mrs. W. I. Nor
ris, Mrs. Robert White, Miss Irvie
Gibson and Fred Gibson of Cam
den, Mrs. q. G. Rushing of Denver
and Mrs. 7. j. billiard of Mineral
Springs, Ark.
Mr.. Gibson was kind, affec-
tionate husband and father, and
had apleasant word for everybody.
While he left sufficient evidence
that his Father in Heaven was
awaiting his coming, yet the NOR
tai part of his being was grieved
to surrender on account of earthly
ties-to home and loved ones-and
while he is gone and his spirit has
been waited to that eternal home
beyond, his influence and works
on earth live and serve as a beacon
light to guide those who would
follow after him.
His remains were laid to rest in
Camden Cemetery Sunday after
noon at 2 o'clock by the Masonic
order, of which he was a member.

should be student of human ma
ture, know the customer, know the
customers needs, and be guided ac-
cordingly. 1T is never good sales
manship to sell a customer some-
thing he does not want.
The trouble with business is it
,is overloaded with poor salesman
ship. Does someone say there is
nothing the matter with business?
Let's see. Isn't there something
the matter with business when
Dun's and Bradstreet's statistics
show that 90 per cent Of the bust
ness men fail. 1t is very evident
there is something the matter with
business. In 1907 81 per cent of
failures were among non-advertis-
ing merchants.
Advertising, ors alesmanship on
paper, is the most viciously abused
and neglected. department of busi-
ness. There is too much poor ad-
vertising. Good advertising and
good craftsmanship go hand in
hand and should be guided by the
same fundamental PRINCIPLES.

is poisonous to cattle. This is in
correct as the first crop contains as
large per cent of the poison as does
the second crop. However this er-
roneous idea rises from the fact
that the first crop is rarely ever
pastured, whereas it is not at all
unusual, especially in the early
fall, for cattle to be turned into the
fields where the shoots and the
young plant of second growth or
crop are developing. 1t is under
these conditions that the cattle
owner should fear death from sor-
ghum poison. Every year in Ten
nessee during the late summer and
early fall hundreds of cattle are
lost from poison of this character.
Experiments to date demonstrate
that dry, clear weather, by arrest
ing the normal development of the
plant, is the chief cause of the
formation of abnormal quantities
of poison.
SYMPTOMS.
The usual symptoms presented
may be summarized about as fol-
lows. However, it should be borne
in mind that these symptoms may
vary, depending upon the amount
of sorghum consumed and the per
cent of prussic acid which it con-
tains, the susceptibility and size of
the individual animal, etc: Drow-
siness, fluid discharge from eyes,
involuntary twitching of the mus
cles, numbness of limbs, incordin-
alton of movements, staggering
gait, inability to stand, dizziness,
involuntary passing of urine and
faces, stopped rumination, dull
expression from eyes, free flow of
saliva from mouth, partial or COM
pleteparalysis of oftongueand throat,
limbs and ears cold, weak heart ac-
tion, pupils dilated; all the symp-
toms increase in intensity until
there is complete coma after which
death quickly ensues.
ANTIDOTES.
Corn syrup in pint doses every
thirty minutes. Fresh air and
milk.

Patrons of the Empress thea
ter who have seen the six "CanOe
Girls" singing and gyrating about
the stage this week, have little
dreamed that they have had the
privilege of viewing one of the
weaIthiest chorus girls in the
world.
Yet such is the case.
For one of the merry little pad
dlers in the feature act of this
weeks bill is none other than
Miss Ida Sullivan, the adopted
daughter Of '.Big Tim" Sullivan,
who was killed by a train last
August. Out of his $2,OOO,OOO or
S3,OOO,OOO estate, she is to re-
ceive 100000.
That Is, If she can win out in
the fight that is being waged
against her claims by relatives of
the great vaudeville magnate and
politician who think this slip of
a girl has no right to any Of Big
Tins property.
When Ida was two years old,
Big Tim Sullivan and his wife
took her from New York fond
ling asylum. Their own little
girl had died, and the bereayed
parents wanted some one to fill
the vacant spot in their hearts.
So they adopted little Ida and
for years she was introduced as
their daughter. Then Mrs. Sui
Ivan died, and shortly after Big
TINS mind became affected and
he was removed to a sanitarium.
Left alone I'm the world, Ida went
OIL the stage to support herself.
According to her story, she was
remembered in Sullivan's Will,
but his relatives are contesting
1t on the grounds he was not In
his right mind when he made IL,
and that she was never legally
adopted, anyway.
Miss Sullivan is q modest,
quiet. rather pretty girl. with
clear gray eyes and an abiding
faith that she will ultimately get
her rights. She is very little
over IL years of age.
Lawyers are now working for
her interests In the East. and un-
til the matter is definitely settled
she will stick to the stage.

surrounding the case have cause

"John Rarklett," which stated
that for the modest sum of $10,-

did, 1t was intimated that she
would be "sorry."
Miss Sullivan has paid little at

it convinces her all the more that

Christmas day was ushered In
this morning with real earth
quake shock.
1t was Of sufficient strength to
rock houses, slam doors, and send
dishes hurtIing to the floor from
high cupboards. Many persons
in Tacoma and the Puget Sound

and his reindeer team had acci-
dentally bumped against their
chimneys.
The shock began at exactly
GAO a. m. and continued for a
minute and one-half. 1t was
plainly recorded on the seismo-
graph of the University of Wash
ington. Prof. Henry Landes of
the science department of the
university, now temporary presi-
dent of the institution reported
that the seismograph gave a dis
tinct record of the temblor for 80
seconds, and for the other sixty
seconds the shock was not 80
