CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much blood disease
as serofula or rheumatism. 1t may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. 1t
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat of the trouble, purifies the blood,
and is so successful that it is known
as the best remedy for eatarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t builds
up. Ask your druggist for Hoods,
and insist on having it. There is ne
real substitute.

Eugene, Ore, July S.---The fact that
o. 9. Stanwood, farmer on Maple
creek, near Glenada, on the Siuslaw in
western Lane county, had sworn the
value of his place less than he con
sidcred it worth, prevented him from
obtaining heavier damages from the
railroad which sued for right-of-way
across the farm.
The railway company had offered
him $500 for IL acres. He sued for
$4,000, but admitted on the witness
stand that he had sworn TO the asses
sor's valuation Of his entire 100 acres
at 5000. The jury allowed hi m$7OO
for the acre and a fraction. He says
that he considers his farm worth SlO,-

er an artificial market can be created.
Attempts have been made to create
such a market through the national
government, but it is clearly impossi-
BILE, both from a legal standpoint and
for practical reasons, for the govern
ment of the United States to aid eth
er as a purchaser Of cotton or as a
lender upon it as security. Much val
liable time has been lost in pursuing
this phantom hope and the sooner our
people abandon the chase the better.
If anything is to be done towards
creating an artificial market, such ac-
ton must be taken by the southern
states for themselves.
Il have taken occasion to ask job
bers and bankers in various sections
of the country for their views and l do
not believe that any creditor Of an
Alabama farmer or merchant would
hesitate to take those Alabama cotton
bonds in liquidation of obligations, for
in most cases the only security they
now have is the equity in the cotton In
the hands of thousands of individual
holders, for which there is practically
no cash market. This state would be
really a mobilization Of debts, con-
centration of assets
