spectfully announce my candidacy
for reelection as your representative
in the sixty-ffth (65th) congress,
subject to the primary to be held on
Sept. 18th. During the short time l

faithfully, and if my efforts and rec
ord meet with your approval / will
feel greatly honored and profoundly
grateful if you will give me your sup
port in the coming election. Con-
gress has been in almost continuous
session since you elected me, and

prevented me from visiting you as
often as l wished. The Ways and
Means Committee is now daily work
ing on a revenue measure; being on
that committee | must remain here
until the new tax law is passed. As
soon as congress adjourns, or before
then if public business will permit me
to leave, | expect to canvass the dis
trict, meet the people personally, and
talk to them face to face, both indi-
vidually and on the stump. If re-elect-
ed | promise to discharge the duties
of the great office with fidelity and to
the best of my ability. From the
depths of my heart I thank you for
your past kindness to me. Cordially
yours, CHARLES r. CRISP.

HUSBAND DEMANDS HE BE
PAID WAGES BY HIS WIFE
Seeks to Recover $500 For Work Per
formed on Her Farm.

Can husband demand wages from
his wife when working on the wife's
property? The district court of Linn
county, Iowa, ruled that P. ]. Peet
was not entitled to recover $500 for
Is months work performed on the
farm owned by his wife. Now he has
appealed to the supreme court.
His arguments are similar to suf-
fragist circular. He maintains that
women have property rights which
cannot be denied, and that they can
make contracts with their husbands
if they want to, just as they would
with other wage-earners. Peet and
his wife lived near Prairieburg, in
Linn county. They separated 10 years
ago and Mrs. Peet undertook to man
age her own farm. Fifteen months
ago she decided she needed a farm
hand She hired her husband to work
at $40 month, Peet says. But she
only paid him for one month, and
thereafter declined to come across.

5000, 900 INVESTED IN

Commissioner Stanley's Report Con-
tains Interesting Information.
ATLANTA.-The report of H. NJ.
Stanley, commissioner of commerce
and labor for Georgia, now in the
hands of the printer, shows some very
interesting facts. According to the
report there are in Georgia 1876 text
lie mills, of which nine are idle. The
total capital invested amounts to
S48,849,232.73. Of the 166 textile
mills 100 of them are located in 10
counties of the state. The combined
capital of the mills in these 16 coun-
ties amount to $43,893, 727.65 or just
S4,955,505.O8 less than the capital
for the entire state.
Muscogee county leads the state in
capital invested in textile mills, fol
lowed by Troup, and Richmond is
third. In the number of spindles and
looms Muscogee leads with Richmond
second and Fulton third.

No Comprehension of Future.
The great impression left from
contact with the Russian prisoners
was the absence of all realization OF
what the future meant for them:
Ever since their disablement they had
been kindly attended and provided
for. Their wants had been anticipat-
ed and looked after. What of the
time when they must shift for them
selves? Such thoughts seemed not to
enter their heads.
The one idea which filled their poor
souls was that they were going home.
Some had not heard from home for
more than year, but that was all
right now. They were going home
home to stay.

Why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreanful
sleep, irritabiIity and unless corrected
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing touic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

THE CENTURY PLANT is
NO CENTURY PLANT AT ALL
From 1t Is Made Brew Which Ameri-

From 1t Is Made Brew Which AmerI-
cans Call Liquid He'll Fire"
The century plant is no century
plant at all, and where the idea be-
came prevalent that the plant bloom
ed only once in a hundred years is
hard to say. The century plant is a
thick-leaved American agave which,
after four or five years of growth
under natural conditions, develops a
cabbage-like heart which is priz-
ed bv the western Indians, who roast
it in small pits in the ground. If 1t
escapes the appetite of the Indians
this heart sends up a beautiful, tall,
flower stalk. Although a desert or
semi-desert plant the agave tiourlshes
under cultivation, the flower stalk
growing to the height of tree. The
agave thrives in Arizona, although
it is more plentiful in Mexico, where
it is better known as the maguey or
mescal plant. The juice of the thick
leaves is sweet and when distilled
yields the mescal brandy, the Mexi-
can whisky" which is nicknamed by
Americans as liquid hell fire."

ESCORT FOR CORPSE
CURIOUS INDIVIDUAL
Keeps in Touch With Undertakers,
and Takes His Pleasures Sadly as
Professional Mourner.

Six times during the past eighteen
months an east-bound Union Pacific
train has pulled out of Boise, Idaho,
bearing a man who apparently takes
his pleasures sadly, peculiar lndl-
vidual who gratifies an apparent pas
sion for travel by acting as official
escort for bodies shipped back east
without relative or friend to accom-
pany them. This person keeps IN
touch with the various undertaking
establishments of Boise, and when
these occasions arise offers himself as
professional mourner, conscientious
ly looking after all details, attending
to any flowers, and even going to the
eastern funeral as one of the honored
guests. For such depressing service
he is reimbursed with one first-class
ticket to the corpse's destination. He
buys his own meals and pays all other
expenses, which include his own fare
back. The mystery is, what possible
advantage does he gain by making
these trips?
For it is a fact that this peculiar
individual never makes a railroad
trip unless it is on his self-constituted
professional duties. Some one must
die and be sent east to be buried to
furnish him with an excuse for a
trip, although he has other idosyncra-
sizes, according to the local Union Pa
ciic officials. They report that last
summer, returning from "burying"
at some point east of Chicago on a
special colonist rate, he travelled to
Salem, Oregon, because it only cost
So more than the regular Boise fare,
although it cost him SIC to get back
from Salem to Boise Also, starting
on his last professional trip, he asked
if he could check a trunk on a
corpse's ticket. Finding that he
could, as all frst-class tickets are al
lowed $50 pounds of baggage, he
went off and "rustled" another trunk,
which he will have to pay excess bag
gage on to get back home.
Boise has a mystery which railroad
people would like to solve.

NEVER SEE REAL
MONEY IN THIS TOWN
Single Citizen Owns Entire County,
and Company Script Is the Only
Medium of Exchange.

PENSACOLA, N. C.--This is
said to be the only town in the coun-
try where no United States currency
is used. Pensacola is entirely owned
by one man. He owns the mines,
the lumber camp, the farm lands and
the thirty-four miles of railroad
which leads from a small junction in
to Pensacola. In fact, DR.. Aldridge
is the owner of the whole county.
The entire business of the place is
carried on with company "script"
That is, when a mans earnings are
paid him they are given him in the
form of due bill, which is referred
to as script" The script is the same
as cash and negotiable at the various
stores, all of which are owned by the
Aldridge company.
When members of a picture play
company recently arrived here they
paid cash for purchases at the stores,
they received their change in script,
and later the cashier of the company
had to travel so miles to a small town
in Tennessee to get check cashed
in order to pay the living expenses.
There are people born in Pensacola
and living there since their birth that
have never seen United States cur
rency, and were almost afraid to ac-
cept it when the movie actors paid
their bills for the rooms and board.
Soda water is sold at drug stores
on Wednesday and Saturday of each
