$4,000 FOR A BEARD
LOUISIANA LAWYER LOST Wills
KERS ON ELECTION DAY.
United States Supreme Court Must
Now Say If Hirsuite AdOrnment
Was Worth the Price.

WASHINGTON-What is the val
ne of O beard? That is a question
which justices of the supreme court
have been asked to determine.
The case is that of E. A O'Sulli-
van, a prominent Louisiana lawyer,
who placed a value of 100000 on a
growth of his beard. O'Sullivan,
who formerly was district attorney,
state senator and city attorney of
New Orleans, claims he was fOrcibly
deprived of his hirsute adornment on
election day in November, 1908. On
that day, he asserts, Paul Felix, a
justice of the peace in Jefferson par
ish, and William w. Stiles, a deputy
sheriff, cOnspired to prevent several
men from voting. O'Sullivan claims
he went to the polls to advise about
the conduct of the election. He as
serts that a number of men import
ed to the election place by Felix seiz-
ed him and tied his arms. Then, he
claims, Stiles cut off his beard.
O'Sullivan brought suit in 1911 for
$50, 900 damages under the federal
civil rights act.
Felix and Stiles claim the suit was
barred by the one-year Louisiana
statute of limitation. The Louisiana
courts so held, but O'Sullivan has
brought the case to the supreme
court on the ground that the statute
of limitation has no application to a
suit arising under afederal statute.

RAILROADS GET NO INCREASE IN PAY
Postoffice Expenditures Bill Fails to
Allow Them Additional COmpen-
satiOn for Carving Mails.

ATLANTA.-Ra Railroad officials here
are expressing deep regret and dis
satisfaction at the fact that the post
office expenditures bill just passed
by congress for the ensuing fiscal
year fails once more to allow the
railroads additional compensation
for carrying the parcels post.
1t will be recalled that in his re-
port in December the postmaster gem
eral said that in view of the pros
pective prodigious growth of the par
cells post the railroads of course
would become entitled to additional
compensation for this extra service
imposed upon them. The report add
ed that the department was engaged
in gathering all statistical data nee
eSsary for ascertaining correct ba-
sis for fixing a just, fair and adequate
compensation for the service rem
dered.
Then on February II the railroads
committee was advised by the post
office department that it had made
recommendation to congress that on
account of the increased weight of
the mails, due to the parcels post,
the postmaster general should be au-
thorized to add to the compensation
of the railroads not more than one
half of one per cent. This recon-
mendation would have added only
1854, 600 to the mail pay of all the
railroads in the United States.
In the opinion of the officials here
congress took no action on the rec
ommendation thinking that such a
proposal was too trivial for consid-
Grafton, and preferring to await the
recommendation of the joint COM
mittee now investigating the whole
subject

CATARRH OF
The PHARYNX.

Clearing out your throat every day.
all day. That is what you have been
doing for months. Possibly years. A
little mucus covers the pharynx.
If you were to go to q doctor he
would tell you that you have phar-
yngitis. If you were to look into
your own throat you would find just
back of the soft palate a red, lumpy,
granular appearance of the back part
of the throat. Pharyngitis the doc
tors call it.
Perhaps he would call it, folicular
pharyngitis. 1t causes you constant
annoyance. You are always making
slight disturbances when seated in an
audience. Can't hold your throat
still. Stringy mucus bothers you.
Worse in the morning.
A-hem! A-hem! A-hem! That is
the way you are going nearly all day.
Sometimes in the night when you
wake up. You ought to gargle your
throat with salt water every morn
ing. Cold salt water. That clears
out the throat perfectly and makes 1t
ready for treatment.
Peruna is the treatment. Begin
with a teaspoonful before each meal
and at bedtime. Try it for a week
You will be convinced. OF course
Peruna will not entirely relieve you
in a week. That is too much to eX-
pect of any remedy. But it will bene-
fit you so much you will be con-
WINGED. Yes, it will. 1t has done
this many times.

PECAN ORCHARDING. AN
IMPORTANT FARM ADJUNCT

where in the cotton belt When plant
ed in an orchard, it is well to put
them about 60 feet apart. Seiec,
strong vigorous tree from the nursery,
set out in fall or spring, using only
budded trees.
The land must be kept cultivated.
When planting and fertilizing trees
for the first year, use 3 per cent. nj
trogen, per cent. phosphoric acid
and per cent. potash. After the first
year the proportion of nitrogen may
be reduced; however, the total amount
of fertilizer should be increased each
year. Some we'll planted trees have
been known to yield nuts in three
years, but in ten years a properly
cared for orchard should be produc-
ing from II to 35 pounds of nuts each
year. At 20 years the trees may pro-
duce from 100 to $50 pounds each.
