TURPENTINE STILLS OUR
Me Turpentine Market
Bainbridge now has a market tor Crude Turpentine that
will be interesting to every one making the product for mar
ket. Seeing that a market for this enterprise was necessary
in Soeth Georgia, I have opened a Crude market at Bainbridge,
Ga., by reason of its many advantages as a shipping point. I
propose to buy crude turpentine anywhere on the G F & A.
or the Coast Line railways, within 50 miles of Bainbridge
Besides, it can be shipped here from either one of the rivers *
small cost. I intend that teis market shall be second to nor
or Crude Turpentine. Wilmington. N. C., has had the repi
ation of being the best Crude Market in the world. It is tb
ldest but no better than Bainbridge. I quote virgin gum tc
ay at $5.00; old dip, $4.5o, for 280 pounds. For ftirthc
nformation write me at Bainbridge.

Y«ung Author Was Anxious to Compl)
With the Editor’s Request.
“Tour story possesses merit,” wrote
the kindly magazine editor in return
ing a manuscript to a struggling young
author of Washington, ‘ but jou have
embellished it with too much descrip
tion. atmosphere and other irrelevant
matter. What we want Is a story set
ting out the simple facts—facts, just
plain facts. If you will revise your
story according to our ideas, we will
be glad to pay you ?2.3 for it.”
A few days later the editor got tLo
following from the struggling young
author of Washington:
“Herewith revised story. Pleases .:!
check by return mail, as I need the
money.”
And this was the story as re writ: a:
“Jonas loved Eliza, but he was p ,r.
and wealthy papa kicked Jonas v ::t
Into Wall street and made a mil 1 n.
Incidentally bankrupting papa. T n
Eliza went Ashing, fell off a log 1 ho

Papa relented and borrowed a h a-

What the Steerage Brings Us.
It is a common notion in thisscountry
ihat the human movement to A.merica
Is made up largely of driftwood and
that the vicious, idle and even criminal
classes predominate. Some most horri
ble propensities arc found among our
immigrants, and it is the settled belief
that only by stringent laws and cease
less vigilance can we escape a fiood of
undesirables.
' Now, race prejudice is very strong,
and Americans are not free from it.
Because a few foreigners- go wrong it
does not follow that all immigrants
from the land represented by the few
are a bad lot. The European view,
based on hard facts, disputes this in
dictment. In the past Germany has
complained, with good reason, that all
the ablebodied young men ran off to
America. The steerage population
proved It. Now several European
countries are protesting that the bone
and sinew of the agricultural districts
are moving westward. Small farmers
and village tradesmen are emigrating,
and industry and agriculture are suf
fering. Both views cannot be right.
We do get a percentage of criminals
and paupers and would gladly cut
them out. But if we are getting the
kind of stuff Europe Is anxious to keep
at home it is worth our while to make
a sharp distinction and while snubbing
the wrong sort welcome the right sort.
There are more where they come from.
Unquestionably things of great inter
est to the world are taking place in
China, and it is unfortunate that accu
rate information of what is occurring
in that vast population is impossible of
attainment. What we do not know,
and what it is of the utmost impor
tance that we should know, is whether
the discontent arises from lack of that
to which the people have been accus
tomed or an awakening desire for high
er standards of life.
Undoubtedly the city of Portsmouth
might do worse than back up the propo
sition to purchase the birthplace and
boyhood home of Thomas Bailey Aid-
rich. Its associations are embalmed in
one of the Portsmouth boy's most de
lightful stories, and it would be a most
appropriate memorial of the poet and
story writer.
Express Company Profits.
No commission will ever be able to
find out the extent of the profits made
out of the carrying business in this
country, but the recent handing out of
$24,000,000 of surplus profits by the
Adams Express company reveals one
branch of It which has made many of
our multimillionaires. Within ten
years $36,000,000 have been paid to
shareholders of this company In addi
tion to regular annual dividends, which
may represent as high as 40 or 50 per
cent return on the capital actually in
vested in the business.
Others of the big express companies
are paying large dividends; In one
way and another the officials of the ex
press companies are linked with the
railroads It transpired last summer
that Hscrtman was a heavy owner of
aqess company stock and able to
man^polat* the vast snrplas of one
of the transcontinental corporations.
Aside from the question as to the rea
sons bletxees of the rates charged by
the express companies, there la a point
to consider in the duplication of the
work and cost and a diversion of prof
its nader the present system. The rail
roads carry the express freight without
providing extra faculties. They could
of the Hhslness themselves
add to their own profits,
which they claim to be so small as not
to Justify redaction In rates; mlaa some
of the money going into the d24.006.00fi
watermelon would have gone to the
postal department If we had a parcels
post system. Mr. Hill says that the
railroads are not making money enough
to keep their plants up to the capacity
demanded by the country’s business.
Charges are made that railroad de
mands for carrying the mails are ex
cessive in some cases. That somebody is
making big money ont of the railroad
plants la-shown by the express profits
If part of those profits should go to
the railroad owners the roads and
eventually the whole people would be
gainers.

Lard Has Been in Existence a
Long Time—So Has Indigestion
Human nature is hard to solve. People who are most particular about adapt-
ing the weight of their wearing apparel to the season and its conditions, who never
think of going out in a storm without an umbrella and rubbers, who would not
sit in a draft, will day after day eat lard-soaked food and not realize for an instant
that it is clogging their whole inner machinery. Lard is produced from hog-fat
sometimes impure, always indigestible. Cottolene is the only rational frying and
shortening medium in the world. It is made from refined vegetable oil and every
thing about it is digestible and conducive to health.
It will make pure, palatable, healthful food, and food which anyone can eat
and enjoy without the after-pangs of a disordered stomach.
COTTOLENE S3 .Guaranteed Your grocer is hereby au-
money-in case you are not pleased, after having given Cottolene a fair test.

‘Nature’s Gift from the Sunny So-
Last Summer I had a severe attack of Inflanun*
tory Rheumatism In the knees, from which I vU
unable to leave my room for several month!, I
was treated by two doctors and also tried diffta
ent kinds of liniments and medicines whlA
seemed to relieve me from pain for awhile, bnt it
the same time I was not any nearer getting w*.
One day while reading a paper I saw an advw*
tisemeut of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. I deoided
to give it a trial, which I did at ouoe. After I had
taken three bottles I felt a great deal better, end
I continued to take it regularly until I was en
tirely cured. I now feef better than I have w
years. CHAS. £. GILDERSLEEVX

ALMOST AS COMMON IN SUMMER AS IN WINTER.
While the damp, cold, changing weather of
Winter intensifies the pains and other disagreeable
symptoms of Rheumatism, it'is by no means a
winter disease exclusively. Through the long
months of Summer its wandering pains and twitch
ing nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric
acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated.
Rheumatism is a disease that involves the en
tire system. Its primary cause results from the
failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid
neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the
urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in
contact with the different acids of the body forms
uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the
blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood,
making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing
the body, and as this vital stream goes to every
nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrib
uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens
from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes fe
verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are
affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased
condition of the entire system is the result.
Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of
all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing
muscles and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable
and dangerous trouble. If the uric acid is allowed
to remain in the blood, and the disease becomes chronic, chalky deposits form at the joint*,
and they are rendered immovable and stiff, and the patient left a helpless cripple for life
Every day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold. The best tins*
to get rid of Rheumatism is in warm weather; because then the blood takes on new life and
the skin is more active find can better assist in the elimination or the poisons. With the
proper remedy to force the acid out of the blood, and at the same time build up and
strengten the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other organs of the body, Rheumatism can be per*
manently cured. External applications relieve the pain and temporarily reduce the inflam
mation, and for this reason are desirable, bnt they cannot have any effect on the diseas*.
The blood is poisoned and the blood must be treated before a cure can be effected.
S. S. S., a remedy made from roots, herbs and barks, is the best treatment for Rhenm*
tism. It goes into the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by neutralizing the acid
and driving it out, and building np the sour blood so it can supply nourishment and strength
to every part of the body, it cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. is the only safe curt
for the disease; bring purely vegetable, it will not injure die system in the least, is *
those medicines which contain Potash or some other mineral ingredient. S. S. S. tones w
every part of the body by its fine tonic prop*™*
While desnsingthe blood of all poisons It builds
appetite and digestion, soothes the excited Mrvefi **
