* After a full, fron and frank
Vlcbaferenoa between the officers of
the Farmers’ Union and the Geor
gia Bankers’ Association, looking
to an agreement to control the
movement of cotton, it wasuniler-
gtood that while the olllcers of
tic Bankers’ Association could
not commit unv of its members
to any line of policy, yet tliny
earnestly recommended that the
banks and Bankers of Georgia co
operate with the farmers in car
rying out the purposes as far as
their individual ability would per
mit, and that it was their belief
that if farmers should take their
cotton to warehouses and get re
ceipts therefor, they could take
thoso receipts and adjust with
creditors their obligations hosed
upon cotton receipts as collateral.

For Alderman.
Senator Brantley will Run
For Legislature from
Lauf*fns County
Senator Clias. W. Brantley has
definitely decided to lie a candi
date next year for representative
in the Legislature from Laurens
county.
His term as senator from the
Sixteenth (list riot will expire after
the session of the Legislature next
June, and, if he should succeed in
getting the nomination in the
primary, he would be elected to
the House next October.
Two weeks ago the Times’ cor
respondent, at Dexter stated that
many of Mr. Brantley’s friends in
that section of tie* county were
urging him to run for representa
tive, and that many were going to
put his name forward in the
proper time.
Yesterday a representative of
the Times saw Senator Brantley
and asked him if he had decided
to run. He said it is too early
to make a formal announcement
of his candidacy, But ho thought
it very probable that he would Be
in the race. lie stated that
friends from every saction of the
county had spoken to him in re
gard to the matter, and ho had an
ambition to continue in legisla
tive harness for one more term,
he thought it very likely that he
would announce his candidacy at
the proper time.
Senator Brantley has represen
ted his district so far in a manner
entirely creditable to himself and
satisfactory to his constituents.
Being his first term as a law
maker. lie has not been in the
“limelight” quite as much us
others, but he has been regarded
as a faithful and efficient repre
sentative.
In Ins race for the House, he
will doubtless have a strong fol
lowing.—Dublin Times.
DUBLIN WILL BOR
ROW $11,000.00
Dublin Baptists Arrange
to Finance Their New
Building.
At a conference of the members
of the Baptist church last night a
committee of deacons composed of
Messrs. J. B. Donaldson, W. L.
Joiner rnd J. B. Daniel was ap
pointed to make the necessary ar
rangements with the four banks
of the city for the loan of $11,000
for the purpose of completing the
new church building.
The commtite will have author
ity to make notes for the church
and to get the funds in such shape
that they can be used as needed
for the construction of t he new
building.
Last spring the banks agreed to
advance the money needed by the
church, but on account of delay
in getting the work started the
church po tjioned making the loan
The members of the church
have their hearts in the new build
ing, and they will doubtless make
an earnest effort to raise the
amount of the indebtedness.—

Veterinary Surgeon.
The practice of veterinery med
icine and surgery can only be had
by long and hard study Jin some
veterinary college, and for this it
takes years of hard study, and this
in to the brute just what the med
icine of the human practitioner is
to the human being, and if we
estimate the value of the former
it must be apparent to every
thinking mind that a science
which is so useful and beneficial
to man is really useful to the low
er animal, and in reference to the
haphazard method which is now
practiced by many who. without
any medical training or ever at
tending a medical lecture on this
art, vainly attonipt to prescribe
for the sick and dying sifyposing
that they have inherited the skill
from their ancestors or some un
skilled book. This is not legiti
mate science. In order to obtain
the necessary knowledge fora suc
cessful practice it often takes a
devoted lifetime of study to gain
a correct system of physiology,
pathology, oheni’stry and anat-
°niy and other scientific qualifica
tions which enable the possessor
to understand the laws of nature,
to comprehend her ways and
means of sustaining the vital
forces, promoting their harmony
and preventing discord and saving

throughout the great southern
stnt -s the is need of a veterinary
surgeon, and wo must have them
as there are great interest at stake
It’requires the very best skill for
its treatment and a mistake in
diagnosis or a wrong medicine ad
ministered by a man who does not
understand any of these arts may
place the patient beyond the aid
of a qualified surgeon, and it will
always pay anyone owning stock
to have a qualified veterinary and
a graduate of some college, not
one who may say I »’in a veteri
nary and have studied such and
such hooks. They are not veteri
nary surgeons but arc only look
ing for your money, and you can
guess as well as they can for the
relief of your animal.

That Wyoming was once a lllllpntlnn
world, occupied by pygmy animals In
the likeness of animals on earth today.
Is the scientific fact which paleontolo
gists of the Wyoming State university
are preparing to give to the world,
says a Cheyenne (Wyo.) special dis
patch to the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.
Horses no larger than a modern fox.
heavers the size of mice, dogs as small
ns coyotes and other nnimnls built up
on the same miniature lines are now
known to have existed in the moun
tains of Wyoming millions of years
ago, and their skeletons are now being
sot up In the museum of the Stnto uni
versity by Professor W. II. Heed, pale
ontologist of the university and curator
of the museum of natural history of
that Institution.
Professor Boed spent the entire
summer In the great fossil beds of
central Wyoming and says his dis
coveries therein are among the most
important ever reported to science. In
the past the discoveries In those beds
have been confined to animals built up
on tremendous lines, monsters of pro
digious size and ferocity, but the dis
coveries recently made public by
Professor Uecd prove that the con
trasts between the animals of that
ancient time were ns great hs between
thoso of Lllllputla and Brobdlngnng.
In fact, If Dean Swift had happened
Into central Wyoming in thoso days he
might have believed he bad actually
renched Lllllputla.
By the securing of the fossil of the
little horse Professor Reed confirmed
the surmise heretofore held that Wyo
ming was the real birthplace of the
horse. He has an almost complete
skeleton of the antediluvian horse,
showing that animal to have been no
larger than a fox of the present day,
but with every bone of the present
hrfrsc and In much the smne shape.
The little animal was evidently
hardy grazer, capable of much hard
ship In securing its food, and even In
that early day the horse showed great
swiftness of foot and possessed speed
sullleiont to enable It to keep out of the
clutches of flesh eating animals.
But Professor Reed attaches more
importance to the fossil beaver than to
the horse even. The heaver Is from
the nllgocene tertiary age, one of the
oldest in which fossils are found, and
shows that that animal flourished at
tlmt early period in the earth’s exist
ence. The specimen Is a perfect skull
and upper jaw of the rodent. The
skull Is less than hull an Inch long .«ud
shows the beaver of that age to have
been even smaller Hum an ordinary
mouse. The molars nre only an eighth
of an inch long and the incisors not
much longer.
lie wus nlso fortunate enough to sc
cure the complete skeleton of a dog of
the nllgocene tertiary age, not a bone
being missing. The skeleton is about
the size of a coyote of the western
plains.
But If some of the animals discover
ed by Professor Reed were small otli
ers lie found were big enough to make
the average large. An Important find
was the almost complete skull of a calf
tltauotherlum, a monster of that day
which was extinct long before some of
the oldest fossils heretofore found were
even created.
Not the least Interesting of the finds
was the tusk of a monster hear, the
big tusk Indicating an animal weigh
Ing about 12,000 pounds. The tusk Is
complete, hut Is In three pieces, and
shows an animal which must have been
a terror to the other animals In tlmt
ago.
A fossil of one of the great lizard
family was discovered in n sandstone
cliff, where it can he seen stretched
out to Its full length, high up on the
face of the bluff. Nearly seventy-live
feet of the great reptile can be seen,
preserved In solid rock.
Professor Reed suys the field he vis
ited, called “Hell’s Half Acre," Is the
most remarkable fossil quarry in the
world. It abounds In fossil remains
of great value to science, and every
year all the large eastern universities
send field parties there to excavate and
to add to the museums.
The fact tlmt so many fossils are
found In the “Half Acre” has lerl sci
entists to believe that the whole sur
face of the earth wus changed h.v some
mighty convulsion of nature and tlmt
place was left as a high point, the an
imals gathering there to escape the
devastating Hoods.
Another theory is that when some
great famine came upon the laud this
spot was left the one of all others
where food was plentiful, and all au-
Imuts or that day and time were at
tracted there to die In some cataclysm
which left the fossil remains for the
present generation of mankind to un
earth.

look at the many beautiful offerings we have in

Toilet Set, and numerous other exquesite presents

that we have the very gift you want to give.
We will also have a swell assortment of Can
