 "1 bet none of you fellers ain't heard the latest about Bungeye Jackson" he said, as he looked triumphantly around at the usual circle of loungers.
 "Whose chicken roost has he bin a depop'latin now?" asked Bill Brun- dage, the skeptic.
 Worse D that. Bungeye has went and got religion. Yes. he has. so help me!

South Carolina sent Hampton and But Ter; North Carolina, Matt Ransom i; Georgia, Gordon and Colquitt; Missis- sippi, Walthall and George; Louisiana. Gibson and Eustis; Texas, Coke; Ar kansas, Berry; Tennessee, Bate and Harris; Missouri, Cockrell; Kentucky, Blackburn; Virginia, Malone Ga Re publican) and Daniel; Florida. Pasco; West Virginia, Kenna and Faulkner.
 It was a collection of eminent men, strong in debate, winning in manners and character, completely representa- tive of their section. With them sat Vest. once senator in the Confede- rate congress; Reagan, postmaster general of the Confectionery, and Vance, the war governor of North Carolina. The senate in that period felt and used it's power more conscientiously than it does today. And its average in quality was higher, for the North, too, was represented by group of leaders equally competent and distinguished.- New York Tribune.

corporations in this state have
fallen so per cent below the rate

have increased sharply, according
to records in the Office of the Sec

During the war chemical and

Now no one or two industries are

Trade Would Not Be Sur
prised if Speculative Cen
try Finds That Rise in
Price Wipes Out Profits

Speculation, this time on the bear
side of the market, Is creeping into
the textile trades again. In the un-
finished or gray goods division of the
cotton goods market, the tendency to
sell short is becoming more noticeable
daily, and there is a feeling among
some of the leaders in the trade that
low priced offerings for future delivery,
seen in the market during the last
week, are nothing more than efforts
on the part of speculative gentry to
make some money out Of the price de-
preston. Also it is freely predicted
that If some of the low priced offers
are accepted and the market turns up
ward before the date of delivery, there
will be q considerable amount of con-
tract evasions.
Spot goods of the $3.50 construction,
38lz inches wide, brought ~ cents
yard Mt the close of the week This
price was acceptable to some mills that
also were unwilling to take on con-
tracts for delivery early next year at
cents. Some of the second hand
sellers, however, appeared to be will
ing to sell goods for future delivery at
7A cents and shade under, it was
said. Where they expect to get the
goods. unless they anticipate further
declines. is the question that the trade
is asking.
Likewise some contracts for cotton
and wooden yarns for future delivery
Mt extremely low prices have been of
fered. and it is believed that specula-
tion is again entering into this branch

ARE YOU A TARGET
FOR INFLUENZA?
It Hits Listless, Rundown People
First-Their Blood Is Thin.
Germs Everywhere in Epidemic.
Be Prepared-Strengthen and bulid
Up Your Blood with Fepto-
Mangan.

If it is true that you are not teeilng
your best-if you have that ALWAYS
tired" feeling and no interest or en-
thusiasm-then you should be careful
of the influenza.
1t is thin-blooded, anemic people
that disease strike first. The fact that
you have had very few serious i'll
nesses has nothing to do with it. Ev-
eryone gets rundown occasionally,
and when they do, the blood is-in no
condition to fight off disease germs,
because it has not enough red cor
puscles. It is the red corpuscles OF
the blood that fight disease and save
you from sickness.
You simply can't afford to take
chances when Influenza is striking
down thousands everywhere. Fortify
your blood-build it with the pleasant
tonic Pepto- Mangan.
And should you be just recovering
from Influenza, you need Pepto-Man-
gan because your blood has exhausted
it's strength. perto- Mangan will help
build you up.
Pepto- Mangan is widely and hearth
ly endorsed by physicians. 1t is eff
fective and easy to take. Comes in
either liquid or tablet form. No diff
ference in medicinal properties.
Sold at any drug store. Rue be sure
you get the genuine Pepto Mangan-
"Gude's." Ask for it by the name and
be sure the full name is on the pack
age. (Advt.)
