EUFAULA

Eufaula November 2.--(SpecIal) )--Cot- ton continued to pour into the city yes terday, very little being sold. inasmuch the price is about one-half cent off as compared to last weeks market A few odd lots have been placed on the market within the last few days, and warehousemen have been busy tearing down tiers in the overcrowded ware houses. It is thought that the holding movement will continue in force until sometime in DeeeRber when cotton Is bound to be turned loose in greater or less quantity
 The stressed times have brought more country produce to the city within the past few weeks than ever before. Fur keys, geese meat and garden truck have been placed on the market in large quan- titles, these supplying the cash that cot ton will not bring. Turkeys were plentt- full on the local market yesterday and Thanksgiving dinners will come a little cheaper this year than heretofore.
 Ed Fuller, a young cotton mill opera tive died here after a long illness with typhoid fever He is survived by wife and family. The body was shipped to Columbus Ga, his former home, for fu- neral services and burial.

ShackIeford Measure Carries Twenty
five Million Dollars.

Washington, February 10.-The
Shackleford bill, under which the
Federal government would distribute
25,OOO,O0O for good roads among
the various States, conditioned upon
a -for-dollar appropriation by
each State, was passed by the house
to-day by a vote of 2S2 to AZ and
awaits action by the senate. Its pas
sage followed several days of debate,
during which most of the hundred
and more speakers advocated the
project in the interest of the farmers,
while a minority attacked the pro-
ject as dangerous opening wedge
for heavy future in roads on the
treasury.
Democratic Leader Underwood,
Republican Leader Mann. and Repre-
sentative NIinebaugh, of Illinois,
the ranking Progressive in the city,
all voted for the measure. Repre-
sentative Mann declared that the
cities could we'll afford out Of their
wealth to contribute taxes to aid the
country in their construction OF
roads and other improvements.
Many of those who voted against
the bill explained that their opposl-
ton was not to Federal aid in con-
structing the highways, but to the
method proposed in the pending
measure.

Death of MIR. j. A. Byrd.

This city and community was
greatly shocked last Friday evening
when it became known that Mr.. ]. A.
Byrd had passed away about six
o'clock, his death occurring at his
home on Midway street in this city
He had been sick for several days,
! and while some OF his friends knew
: that his condition was serious, still
his death came as a surprise. Mr..
Byrd suffered an attack of acute in
digestion the Saturday night pre-
vious. and while he partially recov-
cred, other complications set in, and
although he was doing as we'll as
! could be expected, another attack Of
heart failure came suddenly Friday
evening and death ensued before ply
sicians could reach his bedside.
The funeral services were conduct
ed Sunday morning at ten o'clock,
after which the burial took place in
South-end cemetery. Rev. w. H.
Hodges, pastor of Trinity Methodist
church, this city, conducted the SER
vices. The Apollo Music Club rem
dered several selections at the house
and at the grave. The floral offer
ings were unusually beautiful and
handsome, attesting the love and
esteem of large circle of friends of
the deceased and family.

Mr.. Byrd was sixty-tive years old,
and leaves wife and one son, Cliff
ton, who is now in Europe, and three
daughters, Misses Annie Lou, Ruth,
and Lallah, the last named now be-
ing a student at Columbia College.
He came to Bamberg about twenty
five years ago, and at first farmed
on the old Hartzog place near town,
which he had purchased. Later he
purchased a mercantile business and
moved to town, and since that time
had been identified with every move
ment looking to the progress and
we'll being of the city and communl-
ty. He was successful in all his busi-
ness undertakings, and had ac-
cumulated a considerable fortune.
Mr.. Byrd was a progressive and lib
eral citizen, and he will be largely
missed, not only by his immediate
family, but especially in business and
church circles, where his services and
counsel were always in demand.
Two years ago, upon the resigna-
ton of Mr.. H. ]. Brabham, Sr., Mr..
Byrd was elected president of Bam-
berg Banking Company, he retiring
from the mercantile business to ac-
[cept this position, and during that
time the institution has kept up its
record of growth and prosperity.
Mr.. Byrd was member of the
Methodist church, and had for years
been member of the board Of
stewards, for the past several years
being chairman of the board. He
was also a member of the board Of
control of Carlisle School, and in
him the school had faithful and de-
| voted friend.
Mr.. Byrd was of modest, retiring
disposition, but man of strong char
acter and fine business qualities. His
numerous friends in the city and
elsewhere sorrow over his death.

The Little Bird That Was Rescued.

Dear Uncle Jed: The thunderstorm tonight reminds me of a storm which we had about five years ago when something occurred which does not happen during every thunderstorm. So I am going to tell you why l always remember this one storm especially.
 1t was during one of our typical New very sharp. A high wind was blowing. My cousin and I were watching the storm from a window when we heard a loud crash. A large limb from a tall elm in front of my house had been struck and had fallen against the fence. But this was not the only thing that had fallen. A wee robin tween the pickets of the fence.
 Without waiting a moment we rush. ed out and brought the bird in. Its wing was almost broken and it could not fly. We put it in a. basket behind the kitchen stove, and then covered 1t over. It did not make a sound and mother said she thought it would die
 The next morning I rushed down. stairs to see if the bird was still alive. Imagine my surprise when I looked and saw the basket empty. Then I heard chirp and looking up, saw the little stranger perched on the stove pipe I was so glad it could fly, but was afraid it might hurt itself if I let it stay in the house, so l opened the door and it flew out. It could not fly far and so perched itself on the grape arbor.
 It began to cilirp, and in a minute l heard an answering call. Then I saw the mother robin flying towards her baby with large worm in her mouth. After feeding the little one they both

William Wordsworth.

Just one year before the birth of Scotland's beloved poet, Sir Walter Scott: one year after that of Eng lands poet. Coleridge, and five years before our great struggle for indepen- dence, there came into the world a baby boy who was destined to become famous as poet.
 His home was humble and his par ents had little to do with. His mother died when he was eight years old and his father five years later. He settled at Alfoxden, Somersetshire, in the vii cinity of the lakes with his lifelong companion, his sister Dorothy.
 His first publications were in 17eS but made little or no impression upon of COleridge and the friendship of Calvert who left Wordsworth at his death $4,50o that he might carry out his desire of becoming a poet. In 1902 he married Mary Hutchinson, of Penrith.
 As niddle-aged man he Is de- scribed as a large boned, tall, lean and strong-looking man. His face bore marks of much, not always peace brilliant, but they had a quiet clear ness. His brow was well shaped"
 When Soathey died Wordsworth be- came Poet Laureate"
 Other famous poets of his day were Percy Shelley, William Cowper, Lord Byron, Sir Walter Scott, Samuel Cole ridge and Robert Burns.
 Some of his famous poems are: The White Doe of Rylstone, Excursion. The Wordsworth wrote mostly about nature and simple life. FLOSSIE MEYER Taftville,

WHAT CAUSESCOLDS?

This question and How to Prevent Colds" is asked a thousands times every day. A cold is really a fever. not always caused by the weather but due to a disordered condition of the blood or lack of important food elements In changing seasons fat foods are essential because they dis tribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the body better able to withstand the varying elements.
 This is the underlying reason why the medicinal fats in Scott's Emulsion quickly overcome colds and build strength to prevent more serious sick ness. It contains natures medicinal fats, so skillfully prepared that the blood profits from every drop, and it is free from harmful drugs or alcohol.

When we got to the loft where the bells were hung we had to bend our heads and backs to get by one of the bells which is just in front of the opening which we must take to reach the tower; once on top we open a door and walk around the tower and view the whole city and sur rounding country.

The Esquimos.

ne ESduinoe.
 Dear Uncle Jed: About this time our little friends of the great northiand, the Esquimos. are having great pleas ure in skating and riding in sleds drawn by Esquino dogs.
 If we were up there we might ask: What is the use of keeping so many dogs?'
 We must understand the only good and useful animals of the Esquimo are the dogs which he raises.
 They were originally wolf mixed with Newfoundland and were good dogs. If it were not for the wolf nature in them they might not be able to stand the intense cold.
 The Esquimos live principally on fish, and to get this they move about three hundred miles south before win- ter. When winter is past they move back this three hundred miles. One place is too hot in summer and the other is too cold in winter; So he moves like the Laplander. . Let us think of the uses of the Es- quimo dogs to their owners.
 1. They carry them on sleds.
 ?. They carry the game. such as seal and walrus. which is si,eared by their masters. to their huts where some of it is used for fuel and some used as food.
 3. The dogs protect their masters against their enemies, which are gen. orally men of another tribe. for the Esouimo tribes fight each other just as the Indians used to do.
 The two most important tribes are the Esquimaux and Athabascos in the order named.
 Every Esquimo man has about three trains of dogs. twelve. The women and children have one train between them. The men need more trains to
 We might ask sswhat da all these dogs eat?" They eat small pieces of seal, or some other game, every night, as they are fed only once a day. Otherwise they would be very ugly and lazy. But, of course, the young dogs must be fed three times-moTn- ing. noon and night.
 The Esquimos are the only human beings in the great Northland.
 They are good friends if you can talk their language

 If anyone attempts to touch his work, he will bark and grow1.
 When he has finished his task, Towser will carry the mats in and pit them into their places, not exactly as they should be-, perhaps. but each mat on the spot where it belongs. He then creeps up to his master, who pats him on the head and gives him piece of meat.
 This story is all true.
