Doctor* and Professional Men Tell How He Has Cured the Blind, the Lame, the Paralytic and Many on the Very Brink of Death. FREE HELP FOR THE SICK. Professor Adkin Offers to Help All Suf ferer* From Any Disease Absolutely Free of Charge—Professional Men Investigate His Powers. ■ *7 <i 7 I r "wfi f / X PROF. THOMAS F. ADKIN. Pwsldest of the Institute of Physicians and Surgeons. , la ail parts of the country men and women, doctors and etirgtone, clergymen and educators are wondering at the remarkable cures made by Prof Thomas F. Adkin. discoverer of the Adkin Vttaopathlc treatment. Prof Adkin heals not by drags, nor by Christian Fcienee. nor by Osteopathy, nor by Hypnotism, nor by Divine Healing, but by a subtle payrhic force of nature tn combination with certain vital magnetic remedies which contain the very elements of life and health. A reporter recently talked with Professor Adkin and eras asked to invite all readers nt this paper who are sick or who are worried by the IBs of those dear to them to write to him for assistance. “Some people have declared.” said Professor Adkin. -that my powers are of God: they cal! me a Divine Healer, a man of mysterious powers. This is not so. I cure because I understand nature: because I use a subtle for’* of nature to build up the system and restore health. Rut at the same time I believe that the Creator would not hare given me the opportunity to make the discoveries I hare made nor the ability to develop them If He had.not IntenOM that 1 ShouM use them for the goood of humanity. I therefore feel that It is my duty to give the benefit of the science I practice to all who are suffering I want you to tell your readers that they can write to me in the strictest confidence if they are troubled with any kind of disease, and I will thoroughly diagnose their cases and pre scribe a simple home treatment which I posi tively guarantee to effect a complete cure, absolutely free of charge. I care not bow se rious their cases, nor how hopeless they may seem. I want them to write to me and let me make them well. I fee! that this is my life's work.” So great is the sensation wrought In the medical world by the wonderful cures per formed by Professor Adkin that several profes sional gentlemen were asked to investigate the cures. Among these gentlemen were Doctor L. B Hawley and Doctor L. G. Doane, both fa mous physicians and surgeons. After a thor ough and painstaking investigation these emi nent physicfans were so astonished kt the far reaching powers of Professor Adkin and the wonderful efficacy of Vitaopathy that they volunteered to forsake all other ties of life and all other kinds of treatment and devote themselves to assisting Professor Adkin in his great work for humanity. With the discovery of the ©dkln Vltaopethic treatment eminent physicians ar* generally agreed that the treat ment of disease has at last been reduced to an exact science In all oom* S_rw) men and women have been cured by the powers of Professor Adkin. Some were blind, some were lame, some were deaf, some were paralytics, scarcely able to move, so great was their Inrtrrr.lt> Others were afflicted with Bright's disease, heart disease, consumption and other so-called incurable dis eases. Some wefb sufferers from kidney trou ble. dyspepsia. nervous debility. tns~.mpla. neu ralgia. constipation rheumatism, female trou bles and other similar Jlls. Some were men and women addicted to drunkenness, morphine and other evil habits. In all cases Professor Adkin tr*at.« he guarantee* a cure. Even those on the, brink of the grave, with all hope of recovery gone and despaired of by doctors and friends alike, have bty restored to perfect health by the fore* of Vltaopathy. and Pro fessor A4kin's marvelous skill.

PISTOL BULLET PUTS . A STOP TO WEDDING Within a few hours of the time set for his marriage to Miss Madge Walters. \V. G. Landers. Jr., was accidentally shot by a pistol in his coat pocket Wednesday afternoon at 5 o’clock at his boarding house. 32 Houston street. He was at the time getting ready for the wedding. The bullet entered the right side, passed through the abdominal cavltj\and lodged in the left hip. The wound is serious tn the extreme and the result cannot be foretold. An examination failed' to show any vital part touched and it is possible that Landers will recover. At the hospital, before the surgeons had begun their work, the wounded man asked to be allowed to .-e the young lady whom he was so soon to have married. Miss Walters, daughter of D. F. Walters. 86 Irwin street, the girl he was to marry, was notified and she Went immediately to him. The young lady bore herself with wonderful fortitude. Dr. Hunter P. Cooper had been called to the hospital and he. assisted by the hospital physicians, made the examina tion. No perforation was found anywhere in the ball’s passage through the cavity. Th* incision, which had been made to permit the examination was etosed. and now it is only a question of time before it can be told definitely whether the man will recover. It is very unusual for a ball to pass through a man as this did, and not strike some vital part. If all goes well for a day or two it will be almost certain that the man will recover. Meanwhile, th* ringing of the wedding bells is postponed. Landers is a son of H. M. Landen, of Monroe, Ga. COWWIISES IO PM UN OLD ■ BONO ISSUE WAS STOLEN FROM TREAS URY IN 1864 AND WAS NOT PROPERLY ISSUED BY THE bi ATE. Governor Candler and Treasurer Park decided Friday that the Georgia bond for 1600 sent to the Lowry Banking company from a party from Indiana-for.collection was invalid, and have declined td pay it. The bond, according to Governor Can dler and Treasurer Park, was stolen from the treasury of Georgia in 1864 by some Indiana troops. The bond was one of a series issued in 1864. to retire some seven per cent, bonds held by the Cen tral Georgia bank. They had been prop erly signed by the governor, H. V. John son. and the secretary of state, M. P. Watkins, but the great seal of the state had not been attached. The Central Geor gia bank declined to exchange the bonds, and the new ones were placed in the vaults of the treasury and remained there until Sherman's army took possession of the state capitol. The decision of Governor Candler and Treasurer Park was based on an extract from the records of Georgia bonds, which record was compiled by the late J. Troup Taylor, of Atlanta. < The Lowry Banking company has been informed that the bond will not be paid and it will doubtless be returned to its owner. The bond was properly signed with the exception-that K did not< bear the great seal of the state, and was that Issue of 1864 which been .declared void. THROUGH THE FATAL TRAP TWO MEN GO TO DEATH PORTLAND. Ore., Feb. 1.-Joseph Wade and B. H. Daiton were hangea m the county jail yard yesterday for the murder of James B. Morrow, November 14th last. * Both men retained their nerve and just before the rope was put around Wade's neck he said: "You may think I'm happy, but I’m not.” Joseph Wade and B. H. Dalton mur dered James B. Morrow, intending to rob him. Morrow had been calling on a young lady and was on his way home about midnight on November 14. when Wade and Dalton stepped In front of him and or dered him to throw up his hands. Mor row made a move-as if to put his hands in his pockets, when he was shot dead. The murderers were arrested three days later. At first each accused the other of being the murderer, but after a few weeks Wade confessed that he fired the shot. < Wade was born near Pittsburg. Pa., and Dalton at Atlanta. Ga. Wade and his victim were both under twenty-one years of age, while Dalflm was only twenty-three. On Wednesday night Wade, who had treated his ap proaching executloq with levity, professed religion. According to a missionary who has visited the prisoners. Wade's conver sion was due in part, at least, tolhe pray ers of his fellow murderer. Dalton, who had received spiritual advice several weeks.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. January Jl.-At a conference held between representatives of tha city of Birmingham and of the various suburban towns and cities, a committee, consisting us one representa tive of each town interested, was ap pointed to consider the matter of incor porating all the suburban places into Birmingham.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1902, BIGPEACHCROP 15 PREDICTED BY SCOTT STATE ENTOMOLOGIST RETURNS FROM A TOUR OF STATE—HE FINDS ORCHARDS IN GOOD CONDITION. ’ State Entomologist W. M. Scott pre dicts that there will'be an unusually large crop of peaches this year, r He has just completed a tour of the state, making an inspection of all the large orchards. Mr. Scott reports that the San Jose scale has spread badly within the past year, but since the owners of orchards have learned to treat the trees the disease is no longer feared, as has formerly been the case. According to Mr. Scott the buds are nu merous on the trees now, and he Is confi dent that if there is no more cold weather the peach output In Georgia will be enor mous. .. .1 Speaking of his trip Mr. Scott says: “I have visited nearly every orchard of any note in the state recently, and while . the trees are somewhat infected with San Jose scale the orchard owners no longer fear it as they have learned how to treat it. I do not suppose that there is much hope of stamping it out effectually, but we have it under control, and no more orchards will be killed. z -. "Many of the orchards are in fine con dition and I have never seen so many buds before. If there is no more cold weather the peach crop in Georgia this year will be larger than ever before. , I find on my travels that many new trees are being planted, and after a careful es timate, I think that as many as two mil lion trees 'were set out In Georgia last year.” Mr. Scott says that’ Crude petroleum is being used now to spray trees infected with San Jose scale, and the general opinion Is that it works better thgn kero sene oil.

New York Cotton. NEW YORK, Feb. I.—Cotton futures opened quiet with prices Unchanged to 2 points higher and for the next hodr followed a most unin teresting course with operations much of th* time practically at a standstill. Rather firmer Liverpool cables than expseted were fully off set by large port receipts. Th* latter were close to 28,000 bales, and included a Clearance of 1,100 'bales from Pensacola, expected be re ported yesterday. The room contingent was wary and refused to take on new responsibili ties over Sunday. The speculative public was indifferent. There was nothing of special in terest in the advances from the crop country and private Liverpool gables were equally des titute of feature. The weather chart indicated an improvement in climatic conditions south, though in some locaUtiaa the weather was still against unrestri«;isd movement of ootton. Wall street and room shorts picked up strag gling lots of May and July cbtton after the call; local longs sold as a mere matter of precaution. The New> Orleans market kept In close harmony with the slight changes made here, but orders from thht point were very scarce. The west bought’a few lots of March. Europe operated in an iridlfferent way on both sides of the market. < • < ? . The market closed quiet, and steady,; with prices net 2 to 8 points higher.

E. Small A Cd.*s Cotton Letter. . NEW YORK, Feb. L-i The opinion was ex nressed by private cable this morning from Liverpool that the moVStrtent was too heavy to encourage speculative purchases of cotton and that a gradual . decline in prices might be looked for. The English market held steady, however, though spots' were marked • off 1-32 and tone was called easier. On this- aide a rather steadier condition prevailed as a result of inclement weather in the belt, which is ex pected to force a curtailment of the movement, evn if receipts were determined to. continue Iheavy. -A fair demand twgs attracted by this .feature and a slight improvement in prices * ensued, the anxiety to sell that was occasioned by unfavorable statistics yesterday having dis appeared, Whatever opinions may be about >lhe course of the movement, the else of the erpp, or trade conditions, the fact remains that the market invariably resists any efforts to ward deprecation under the level of 8 cants. , 1 Bears attribute thia condition to persistent, speculative buying by large interests on the I belief that a preci pl tdfis decrease fn receipts is in near prospect and they contend that an enormous quantity of long contracts, has been accumulated in this manner which must un dergo liquidation sooner of later and probably 'sooner, if the movement abntlnues to encourage large crop ideas. On .the - other hand, bulls claim that the price Is sustained by Increased requirements for the world's consumption and point to the enormous exports'from this coun try in support of that view. They are confi dent that the Jong expected .falling off in je ■cetpts is directly at hand, and confidence in large crop Ideas will diminish, to the benefit of prices. Murphy A Co.** Cotton Lsttsr. NEW YORK, Feb. i.—The Situation this morning was perplexing. The Liverpool advices were remarkably good from a bull standpoint. The market there waw only a shade easier., which was surprising when ire take the receipts into consideration. In fact, the way all markets present a strong tone is exciting general sur prise. Big receipts appear to be making not the slightest impression anywhere. With such remarkable weather as we have witnessed the past week, it stands to reaspn that the market ing of Cotton has been Interrupted to some ex tent at least, and despite this the movement has been keeping up and the new week starts today with indications-of 39,009 at the ports, as against 24JXX) last year. There IsTto teUlng. how lopg this movement will continue. If we fould answer that ques tion it would be lees difficult- to say whdt the market is likely to do.. Trade reports for the week are good ‘and th*. Idea 1* gaining ground that no matter how big the drob, the wotld’s mills will require all that'fs raised, no matter if it be eleven million bales or more. It is useless to attempt to analyse the cause q< the market’s steadiness. It appears to ba useless to attempt to break prices under existing con ditions. Early local prices were a point ®r t*o better, but there was so little doing tb*t prices counted for nothing. Still the mere' fact that they failed to yield anything Is itself suet gestive. Exporters are sendint direct from the. aouth on account of low ocean rates and southern nVUs are observing a policy of proetastfiiaUan' ,in buying which may prove serious. .

CHICAGO. Feb. I.—The feeling that prompt ed selling in the grain markets yesterday pre vailed at the opening of the board again today. Cables were steady, but the unresponsive tone considering yesterday's local weaknew was thought to follow the increase of 144 c a bushel in ocean freights and consequently had little bullish effect. Trade was light and th* major ity of the orders were to sell. May started a shade higher to a shade lower at 77% to 77%c and fluctuated between those figures and %c. Weakness in th* coarse grains had a de pressing effect aa did the excess in Australian wheat shipments, which were 1,072,000 bushels for the week, against 910.M0 the week before. Local receipts were 236 cars, four of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 306 cars, making a total for the three points of 328 cars, against 443 last week. Corn started firm, but the selling sentiment and an easier tone in the southwestern mar kets influenced a decline. May opened %c high er to a shade lower at 63%f>62%c on steady cables, but dipped on liquidation and the wheat sag to 62%c. Later there was some covering, which brought a small reaction and a steadier feeling around 62%c. Receipts were 78 cars. Pressure to sell long oats that had been ac i cumulated on the recent rally and the sag in corn pushed oats down shortly after the open ing. May started %c higher to unchanged at 4444044% and dipped to 43%c. When corn be gan to steady, oats reacted and May held around 44@%c. Receipts were only 52 cars. Provisions were quiet and slightly higher- at the opening on a fairly good hog market. The grain weakness had a sllgntly depressing ef fect. May pork opened unchanged to 2%c high er at' *15.85016.87%, and eased to *15.80; May lard 2%c up at *9.40, and eased a shade, and May ribs a shade higher at *8.40 and lost 2%c. CHICAGO QUOTATIONS.

McCullough Bros.’ Fruit and Produce Letter. ATLANTA. Ga , Feb. 1, 1902. The meet disagreeable and damaging weath er conditions of the season have been ex perienced within the last week, which have materially affected market conditions that has been expensive to jobbers of fruit and pro duce. Apples are in lighter supply than at any time during the season, and not half enough are now being received to satisfy the local consumption, not even considering the shipping trade. This may be applied especially to Florida oranges. Quite a liberal supply at both Cali fornia and Mexicans -are ye.t in the market and. meeting ready sale at good prices. Lemons have declined materially with condi- tions weak at all points of importation. Banana traffic is very light with Receipts liberal and prices within reach of all. The cranberry supply Is also light with prices advancing. ’ Fancy grape fruit, large sifirs. selling at *4.00 1' to *4 50.-T - . • Onions continue active with no change in prices. ’ • This mav be applied to seed Irish potatoes. • The market has been bare on sweet potatoes I the entire week. ' with the best prices of the season befng obtained. Cabbage are plentiful and- during rife next few days Florida stock will begin to move, which will, of course, effect the sale and price of New York Danish very much. Field peas of every description prevail in abundance, with prices lower than had been , anticipated. Both ItVe and dressed poultry very active at fancy brlces. Fancy table butter continues to sell well at satisfactory prices. There is a strong demand'for country smoked meats of evehy kind. A great scarcity of game, also exists. Fresh eggs more plentiful with prices easier. Florida is now shipping cauliflower, tomatoes and lettuce in abundance. Weather conditions have not been at all favorable to their sale. R. G. Dun & Co.’s Review. R. G. Dun & Co.’s review says: "Despite some drawbacks the business situ ation continues satisfactory, with especially good news from manufacturing centers. La bor disputes are somewhat more numerous and low water stopped mills in parts of the northwest. Special lines were stimulated by seasonable weather bu the same influence affected others adversely. "Although, manufacturer* of steel have stub bornly resisted inflation of prices, the urgen cy of consumers has attracted more importa tions. Distant deliveries are undertaken by domestic producers, but, where immediate shipment is required it is often Impossible to prevent foreign makers securing the business. Last year’s official statement showed a con siderable loss in exports of some finished prod uct of iron and steel, and this was doubt less due to the same pressure by' home con sumers that is now bringing a movement into the country, not in competition with producers here, but because early deliveries cannot be made. As anticipated, the ore companies fix ed Bessemer a tthe old rate" of *4.50. The remarkable report of the Steel corporation gives some idea of the volume of business transacted last year, while contracts already placed practically assure still greater activity for 1902. All lines have a share In the vig orous demand, with railway and structural supplies leading, and preparation for spring work has removed the dullness from pipe and tube departments. Minor metals finally reach ed a point where consumers were attracted and recovery was genera). “Footwear shops in New England have large orders for spring goods and are still busy on seasonable lines, while weekly ship ments continue to exceed those of last year. Wholesale buyers are in th% Boston market, but show an inclination to delay placing con tracts at the present advanced prices. Hides have declined still further. “Textile mills are well occupied, and the lack of accumulations in first nands gives a strong tons to the market, though there is much evidence of conservatism among buy ers. W’htle the size of the cotton crop remains uncertain it must exert a. quieting influence on goods. “Fewer lines of new woolens have been opened than were expected. The raw mate rial is sustained by brisk competition and firm prices at the London wool 'sale. “After carrying the decline to an extreme point, especially for coarse grain, there was a sharp recovery. As usual during a period of gradually falling quotations the market became heavily oversold, so that once the turning . point appeared there was the . added impetus of anxiety by the short contingent. Even at the lowest point of the week wheat was 5c and corn 18c higher than at the cor responding date last year. Foreign buying of wheat was not percepltbly • stimulated by the lower prices, but there continued a steady outgo, aggregating 3,324,758 a year ago. Con sumption of wheat as fodder, or holding back for higher prices, prevents the big yield from swelling receipts, which, for the week, were 2,840,081 bushels, against 2,775,975 last year. "The reduced yield of corn is reflected in interior arrivals of only 3,379.865 bushels com pared with 4,908,962 a year ago. while the high price is responsible for Atlantic exports of 331,880 bushels against 2.418.913 last year. “Conflicting statements hold the cotton mar kpt in suspense, but there is no uncertainty as to the unparalleled yield of coffee, which put the prtce within a fraction of the lowest point on-record. “Liabilities of commercial failures four weeks of January aggregate 812.902.007. of which *5,683.392 were in manufacturing. *6.435.984 fn- trading, and *783,631 in other strictly commercial lines. Aside from a few exceptionally heavy defaults, the showing is ver>- good as to manufacturing. Large de creases sppear in liabilities as compared with last year’s failures tn . iron, machinery, cotton, lumber and chemicals. , ATLANTA MARKETS. ’• Cotton.
