THE
PERFECT LAXATIVE
must be a liquid which Is pleasant tn take, and not a drastic min
eral pill, the sight of which is nauseating to most people. After
a thorough test of thirty-five yeais no remedy has been offered to
the public which gives such satisfactory results as a laxative as
Dr. Mozley’s
LEMON ELIXIR
It not only acts promptly and thoroughly, but there Is no griping
or other unpleasant effect from its use. It cures Constipation, Bil
iousness, Dizziness. Sick Headache, Sour Stomach, Colic, Indiges
tion and all irregularities resulting from a disordered Stomach.
It is good alike for young and old. an l its regular use will keep the

“ONE DOSE CONVINCES”
GROWING SUGAR CANE IN TEXAS
W. Ogden, in the November Every
body's.
Sugir making appears to be one of
llie destined large industries of the
ere]itie slate. The lower valley of the
ItUi Grande, for a distance of 1 GO miles
inland from the gulf, is said by sugar
cane experts to lie the most favorable
six>t in the United States for the cut
tivation cf that plant. Owing to its
extreme southern latitude. 100 miles
south of the I Louisiana cane fields, the
crop may develop fully without dan
ger of foist. Planters in the lower
Rio Grande valley give their cane a
full twelve months to mature, against
eight or ten in Louisiana, where frost
is always a menace later than October.
Tile combined richness of the Texas
si il. uneaqir.!led even in Cuba, and fav
orable climatic conditions, place tin
jtelil of this region above that of
Hawaii. A planting of cane "joints"
will yield in Texas profitably for eight
years, against three years, at the ex
treme. in other cane growing sections
of the United Suites.
Texas has great plans for coming
into the sugar market of the United
States, and coming strong. Great
plantations companies are being or
ganized. and the most extensive irriga
tion works on this continent are under
process of construction in the Rio
Grande valley. Refineries are spring
ing u11 there, and (lie companies build
ing them are offering every induce
ment. and assistance to industrous
men of small means to crnie in an
la-gin producing cane. The poor man
chance lies down there today on th
frontier.

SOUND DEATH KNELL
OF OLD CHINATOWN.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The death knell of did 1 Chinatown—
that home of josses, tom-toms and
opium pipes—was sennded recently at
banquet of the Ming Yung Benevol
ent Association the largest Chinese or
der of its kind in America. . Every
prominent merchnnt in the city was
present and each joined hands with
Sun Lee Yez, the Chinese consul gen
eral. in declaring war against the
the opium pipe and the ancient
aditions that made Chinatown 3
orld of its own in the days before
e fire.
The new cry is a commercial cry, a
y for a new Chinatown with the pro-
resaive spirit of the new world. The
benevolent society, backed by a major
ity of tlie Six Companies, has decided
to use all its influence to convert all
the. sons and daughters of the Flowery
ingdom to the new creed, and hopes
ithin the next two years that even
the pistresque queue will he a thing
forgotten.
r a long time the powerful Chin-
of this city have been advocating
the now departure. They laid their
plans well and won many converts to
the cause. But it was not until they
■red at the banquet board last
igl.t that they exploied their new
1 to tiie world. The occasion for
he Important demonstrations was
lie completion of tCie new four-story
brick building in Waxtrly place—the
home of the benevolent society
ind the handsomest building ever lo-
1 in Chinatown.
ic new structure Is where the
Ming Yung josspouse stood in all Us
before tlie fire. But now an air
mmrrcialism surrounds the place.
I’lie joss was declared officially dead
le wise council last night—dead
ill time as far as the principal
hints anil the Six Companies are
■■iiied—and when lie was laid to
the '.indent opium pi|>c was stow-
,vay in the same grave,
e officers and directors of the
vident society, accompanied by
’onsul general and iiis suite and
Hong Gxroy, special commissioner re-
y arrived from China, gathered at
tew quarters, where the president
te society, .low Duong Tarn, and
cretary. Wong Ben, gave the dis-
ingtiislied guests tin informal recep-
ion.
te entire new building was thrown
open for tlie inspection of the guests,
marvelous oriental paintings, gor-
is tapestries, rugs cf priceless val
toegthor with all the modern im-
i omenta of the age, met with.fav
orable comment from all sides and
the president and secretary were-the
happiest of men a« they led tkfbVfle-
gation through the spacious roonSil'Siid
along the wide corridors, explaining
to them how the modern Chinese club
house anil business den will be con
flicted in the future.
After the building was carefully in-
I’cted the distinguished Celestials
marched in a body to the Suey Fa--
>w restaurant in Jackson street,
tore a spread fit for the gods await-
them.
The banquet was opened by the
president of the society, who acted as
toastmaster, in his native tongue he
delivered a stirring speech, in which
If told of the death of the heathen
i in the fire. He outlined the plans
a greater Chinatown, in keeping
with tlie greater San Francisco, and
id his listeners that the opium pipe
must go.
The consul in his speech joined the
new movement. He told his listener
how glad he was that they had decid
ed to acc|>et the real American form
of civilisation, and to depart from the
ancient customs, which, in his opinion,
were a stumbling block in the path of
commercial prosperity in tlie past. The
consul urged Che members to get to
gether and work for the good of the
city, forget their old-time highbinder
quarrels and be a part of the new San
Francisco, the greatest city of the
West. He was loudly chered by the
assembled guests.
The new building will be occupied
by the officers of the society in a
few days. Everything within its walls
modern and up-to-date, and it rep
its an outlay of about $250,000.
THE COTTON SCHOOL.
The cotton crop of Georgia is
worthy more than $100,000,00.00 a
year, and up to the present time
’comparatively little work of an edu
cational nature has been undertaken
krith a view of improving the yield
and quality of this all important crop.
Realizing the need of practical type
of education which can be utilized
advantageously by the farmers of the
state, the state college of agriculture
has undertaken the organization of
a Cotton School. This school will lie
in session from January 8 to 17 in
clusive and it will he free, to farmers
of the state, the only cost being rail
road fare, board while in Athens
amd a registration fee of $1 00. It
should not cost over $25.00 to $10.00
to attend this school.
There will be ten lectures on the
soil, ten on fertilizers, five on the cot
ton plant, five oil seed selection, five
on cotton diseases, five on cotton in
sects, five on feeding cotton by-pro
ducts, five on cotton machinery, and
instruction in cotton grading and
warehousing. Eighty him’- of in
tensely practical and useful instruc
tion are provided in these ton days.
This is tlie first Cotton School
which has ever been organized in this
country, it is designed to meet the
needs of Georgia farmers at this
time, it is certainly within the reach
of every farmer so far as cost is con
cerned. It will tie held at a season
of the year when little work can be
done on the farm, anil there is no
farmer who cannot afford to he away
from heme for the short time tiiis
school will be in session. Tlie need
of agricultural education is apparent
on every hand. The thirst for it on
the part of the farmer is to he com
mended. We are endeavoring in this
very practical and simple wav to
place much useful infoinatlon with
in the reach of the fanners at a mim-
imnm of cost.
A circular of information relative
to this school has been prepared Re

ASK RESTORATION OF
OLD RAILWAY RATES
Order of Railroad Conductors Petition
the Governor of Virginia to Use
His Good offices in that
Direction.
From the Norfolk Landmark.
The following petition was forward

by R. E. Lee Division No. 25, of the
Order of Railway Conductors, repre

Norfolk. Portsmouth and Berkiey:

first day or October 1907, when they
were changed by an order of the Rail

made not at the solicitation, or with
knowledge of the railways, but
in tin- interest of the members of our
organization, who will necessarily be
affected adversely by any reduction in
tlie revenues of the railways by which
we are employed, inasmuch as our
compensation, and certainly any in
crease in wages, is dependent abso
lutely upon the earning capacity of the
railways.
And for the further reason, that

MOTOR DRIVEN ASH SIFTER.
The amount of courage and will pow
er used by a strong, healthy man in
getting out of bed to mow the front
lawn has never been successfully de
termined, hut it is as nothing compar-~
ed with the quantity and quality of
these forces required to make th“
same individual sift the ashes on a
frosty morning.
Electricity has done a thousand
tiling for the comfort, health and de
velopment of man, but no single do
mestic application of the current will
be welcomed with keener delight be
tlie householder than the electric ash
sifter. No more tlie wrenchings of
bone and muscle, no more tlie clouds
of stilting dust; gone forever th<-
haunting fear of ashes to he sifted.
Electricity, which seems to delight in
doing the drudgery of the home, lias
taken upon itself the additional task
of sifting the hateful ashes.
in the home of one of the General
Electric Company's engineers in Lynn,
Mass., is to be found the first electri
cal ash sifter. The machine is very
simply constructed, it is built on the
revolving screen principle, being driv
en by a standard bolted 1-15 h. p.
motor, anil the cost of running the
machine is very trifling. Tlie outfit is
located convenient to the furnace dooi
and the coal ldn. The ashes are
dumped in a hopper, the machine
starts and the unburned coal falls into
the bin at the right, while the waste
falls into the ash can underneath. The
dust is confined with a heavy canvas
cover. The ash can is easily remov
ed.
The electric ash sifter is simplicity
itself, and does the work even better
than the old “arm-strong machine.”

Tim majority of the undersigned

From conversation with those who

ling public would prefer to pay
higher rate for good service than
lower rate for poor ;i,nd inadequate
service and pnur committee believes
that it will lie impossible for the rail
ways to maintain under present eon
ditions the service heretofore render
ed. much less to improve the same.
In conclusion, your committee dc
sires to call your special attention to
tho fact that the employees of the
railways are more adversely affected
by a reduction in rates than the rail
ways themselves. This is demon
straled by conditions at this time ex
isting. and the fact that the railways
are now. in order to curtail expenses,
relieving from service a large num
tier of employees. This is not only
directly affecting the men thus re

That Hyomei Will Cure All Forms of
Catarrhal Oiseases.
Testimonials rould he printed
the thousands, many of them from
Athens and nearby towns, saying that
Hyomei absolutely cures all catarrh
al troubles. The best proof of its un
usual curative lowers is the guaran
tee that H. R. Palmer & Sons give
with every outfit. They sell, "Money-
hack if Hyomei does not do all that
is claimed for it."
Hyomei is not a secret remedy. Its
formula is freely given to physicians
who want to know what they are us
ing when they prescribe Hyomei. It
is guaranteed under the Pure Food
and Drug Law by Serial No. 1418.
There is no dangerous stomach
dragging when Hyomei is used. Its
healing medication is breathed
through a neat iiocket inhaler, readh-
every part of the air passages,
destroying all catarrhal germs and
curing the disease.
