APPRECIATES A GOOD THING.

Under date Of July S, George Hatha-
way, who is at GreenCastle, Indiana, on
a visit, writes the Jennings TimeS.Rec.
ord regarding his trip and says:
Your issue of June oath contains an
interesting communication from Dr..
Cooper, president of the Police Jury in
regard to the coming election for Good
Roads Bond issue, want to compliment
the Doctor in what he says and the
forceful manner in which he explains
himself, and want to approve of the
position he has always taken in this
good roads movement.
lam sure he has never had a thought
but for fair play" for every part of
the Parish. He and have argued in
almost every proposition and if you be-
lieve l am loyal to the ward l represent
on the polite jury you must give the
Doctor credit for being fair and honest
to the entire parish including Ward 2.
would like to emphasize the foolish
ness of some people in their remarks
about gravel roads but the Doctor has
expressed it so much more forceful than
/ can, therefore will deSiSt.
There is not single good argument
that can be advanced against gravel
roads; the foolishnesS of the talk you
hear only emphasizes the virtue of the
proposition. Since have been in Indi.
ana have Travelled over hundreds of
miles Of improved roads. have studied
their construction their cost, the bene-
fit to the communities where located
and l hope the knowledge gained will
be of some benefit in making suggeS-
tons in construction of roads in our
good parish.
lam sure that if our people at home
could have gone with me, with an open
free mind to learn. and then decide they
would not hesitate moment in voting
for, the bond issue. Ignorant preju-
dice only could defeat it. Land in this
territory is not nearly so valuable for
what it will produce as lands in jeff
erSon Davis parish but is selling al
from three to five times more than our
lands and nothing has given it real val
ue as much as improved roads and
bridges.
If our people don't want our lands to
increase in, value, don't want to
live in greater comfort and Shave more
Of the profit and pleasure of this life
then vote against good roads.
will be home in few days and will
put in my best liCks" for the success
of the election on the 9th. If that
should fail | will feel like selling out
everything own and get out of as
good country as have seen in all my
travels, for no fault of the country but
!, for the faults of the people who are MOI
, willing to take advantage of their God
given opportunities and better their
own their neighborS condition.
/ don't believe our people will lose
this opportunity to do the sensible
thing and advertise to the world theil
lack of enterprise and advancement.
Yours for Good roadr,
GEO. HATHAWAY.

Note the Contrast.

In a letter from a friend IN South
Dakota dated July 5th, the writer sta
ted that the weather was so cold on
that day that fire was required to
keep warm, and that some of the mildly
clad young chickens chilled to death;
and that vegetables and corn were very
backward, and unless warm weather
showed I'D very soon such crops would
be total failure.
That people viii continue to live in
such cold country where one is COM
PEELED to spend the greater part OF MS
earnings to keep warm, and pay from
SIS to SIPS per acre for land, when land
of equal value can be had here, where
one may grow two and three crops per
wear, and have growing vegetables in
his garden every month in the year,
and buy lands at from SIS to $50 per
acre, and live in one Of the most God
blessed lands III this great United
States, where the gentle gulf breezes
are waited Ger the fields and homes OF
the most beautiful women and thard
workingl men, always contented with
what nature supplies and always after
more of the same kind. Come, come
to the lard OF the mockinS-bird ard

Lantz Cement Silo is Popular

Chas. Lantz is the busiest man in
the country now. His reinforced
concrete silo having stood the test is
creating demand for itself.
Mr.. Lantz completed silo last week
on the farm Of E. C. Barnett. This
week he is building one for Jack Ben
oft, and will in few days go to Alex
andria to erect one on the farm OF
w. B. Gabbert.
Farmers who are contemplating the
erection of siios should see one OF
these Lantz Cement silos in course oil
construction. It's advantages would
appeal to them.
Charley states that he has orders
enough ahead to keep him busy or q
long time.

Some Easy Ways for You to Break Up Cold

TX TANY physicians are convinced that the
INE proper treatment Of cold depends in
some degree upon the way the person
has taken the cold. We must go back to the
beginning and begin where the cold began
For instance, if one catches cold by getth..
the feet cold. say by going out with thin shoes,
and getting wet and chilled it is not the cold,
but the long chilling that does the harm. The
best measure is to take hot foot bath. The
cold got in through the feet so 1t should be
driven out through the feet.
If one gets cold by exposing the back OF the
neck to a draft, resulting in lame neck, sore
ness, cold and stiffness in the neck then hot
applications should be made to the back of the
neck
If the cold is the result Of general exposure
and a lowering of the general bodily tempera-

ture, then general hot bath is good, and that
really is about the best thing for any person
who is taking or has taken cold
When the cold first shows itself. take hot
bath, but not in the morning. Take the hot
bath 1T night. Drink couple of glasses Of hot
water, get into the hot bath and stay there
about half an hour
Have the bath hot enough to set up perspr-
alton. 1t may be as hot as one likes in the
beginning but when perspiration begins, lower
the temperature to about one hundred degrees.
and keep it there for about half an hour more.
Then lower it to about ninety-five degrees and
stay in tho bath another hour. One may safely
remain in the bath two hours if suffering with
a really bad cold
Drink some more water at the close OF the
bath and 90 to bed. 1t is well to drink just as
much water as one can.

the maintenance of this place and her son.
Alfred Vanderbilt left no New York
house, but it is generally understood in
society that his fathers great town house,
at Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh to Fifty
eighth streets, and Beaulieu, the Newport
villa, will eventually pass to his oldest son,
William II. Vanderbilt.
The second Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt is left
in a position with regard to European
society curiously similar TO that of the
second Mrs John Jacob Aston. The first
Mrs. Vanderbilt has a sister married to
General Lord Cheyesmore in England. and
consequently her own position in English
society is Of the best. Alfred Vanderbilt's
recent associations in England had been
largely with sporting characters, and his
widow can expect no warm reception from
high society.
Similarly Mrs Madeleine Force Astor
must find herself embarrassed in England,
for her predecessor had already entrenched
herself very securely there.
One Of the oddities of the situation is
that each millionaire gave his own
Christian name to a son by his second
wife, while he. gave family name and
the bulk of the property to son by the
first wife

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
THEY ARE CLOSELY OBSERVING
PUBLIC HEALTH CONDITIONS.

An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance Compa-
MES, in an interview on the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large major
ity of those whose applications are de-
clined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
According to this it would seem that
a medicine for the kidneys, possessing
real healing and curative properties,
would be a blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
who prepare DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
the well known kidney, liver and blad-
der remedy, claim that judging from
evidence received from druggists ev-
erywhere, who are constantly in touch
with their customers, and also indis>
putable proof in the form of grateful
testimonial letters from thousands of
reliable citizens, this preparation is
remarkably successful in sickness,
caused by kidney and bladder troubles.
Every interesting statement they re-
eeive regarding Swamp-Root is inves-
tigated, and no testimonial is publish
ed unless the party who sends it is re-
ported of good character. They have
on file many sworn statements of re-
coveries in the most distressing cases.
They state that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is mild and gentle in its action
and its healing influence is soon MOTTO
ed in most cases.

pound and DR.. Kilmer & Co. advise all
readers who feel in need of such a rem
edy to give it a trial. 1t is on sale al
all drug stores in bottles or two sizes

CRACKER BOYS.
MINSTREL SHOW.

The Cracker Boys Minstrels made
its initial bow to an. audience LAST
night and judging, from the peals Of
laughter and rounds of applause ac-
corded them made a decided hit The
High school auditorium was crowded
downstairs and in the balcony.
Ben Hawkins and Blue Marsh, the
comedians of the company, pleased
with their black face work. Their
work in the second part of the pro-
gram when each put over a mono
logue was good.
The singing of the entir company
pleased Merrel Wheatley, heralded as
Georgia's sweetest baritone, sang
his way into the hearts of the audience
with In the Land of Golden Dreams"
Bob Coggins, Cack Tinsley and Welbur
Smith, also pleased with their vocal
selections.
The second part of the entertain
ment made up of several vaudeville
stunts, was up to the usual big time
variety Professor Beckwith who
served as interlocutor in the main
part of the show, staged a nifty paper
tearing Stunt Hawkins and Mash
wished over a monologue and the
Comedy Four gave several quartette
numbers of high standard.
Counting on the Old Suwanee," with
Cack Tinsley playing the leading role
completed the program. This number,
a ough~and-tumble dance creation,
featuring Balm the Jack" pleased
and rounded out an evening of clean
amusement
