advertisements exploiting tuc re
sources of this estate have been
running in daily newspapers of the
Northern cities and tarm journals
of Western States. These adver
tisements have a total circulation
ot neatly two millions and reach
tue best farming region and the
mo.-i prosperous manufacturing
and commercial centers on the
co i in tut.
The cheap lands of the far West
have so far tilled up that prices
have advanced and immigration is
looking in other directions. The
Canadian Government, by liberal
advertising, has induced about a
hundred thousand people to leave
tile Northwestern States for the
Dominion in two years. The South
western railways are spending im
mense sums advertising in tile
Northwest and have taken thou
sands of people into Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and
Oklahoma. The tide of immigra
tion is turning southward and the!
Great r Georgia Association has
begun its work at 011 opportune
time,
Letters of inquiry from people of
both cities and country districts
are coming in daily and the names
gnd addresses of the inquirers are
forwarded promptly to the thirty
towns which contribute to the woik
of the association. At ike same
time letters and attractive literature
covering the whole State are sent
to each inquirer tronr the central
office in Atlanta. The thirty towns
follow w'itli tneir own literature and
letters, pressing their particular
advantages. In thL way every
person who answers the advertise
ments of the Greater Georgia As
sociation will receive in three or
four days all the information lie
can digest about Georgia and its
most progressive communities.
The names of inquirers are also
given to the industrial departments
of the principal railway systems in
Georgia and these officials are send
ing solicitors to see them.
Thus, with the help of the rail
ways, the Greater Georgia Asso
ciation is able to send an agent
into almost any State of the Union
to follow up its correspondence and
advertising matter with personal
solicitation in pressing the claims
of Georgia upon those who show
anv interest in the State.
Dowie a Disappointment
savannah Now s.
J. A. Dowie, with his many hun
dreds of followers from the city
he was instrumental in founding
near Chicago, and which he rules,
is a distinct disappointment to New
York as New York is a disappoint
ment to him- The New York pa
pers gave him all the advertise
ment that he could reasonably ask.
more indeed than he desired of the
kind they gave him, but he has
failed to create any other impress
ion in that city, if reports are to be
credited, than that he was a vulgar
mountebank. He had a great
meeting in Madison Square Gar
den on Sunday. As many as 20,-
coo people were present, but he
could not hold his audience. The
people came and went. Only a
few, besides the followers he
brought with him, remained long
in the garden. Curiosity brought
the crowd, and that was soon satis
fied. The fact that the people did
not remain and hear what he had
to say angered Dowie. and ue ex
pressed his opinion of the people
of New York very freely from his
pulpit.
It may be that he does believe
that he is the reincarnation of the
prophet Elijah, sent by God to pre
pare the world for the second com
ing of Christ, but it is remarkable
that he has succeeded in getting so
many other people to believe it.
and to trust him with their spiritu
al welfare and their earthly posses
sions.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
has built up a city of more than
10,000 people within forty-five
miles of Chicago, and that converts

THE BRAOFIELD REGULATOR CO.. ATLANTA, fil
to the doctrines he preaches are
arriving there in such numbers
that 110 lses cannot be provided fast
enough to accommodate them, it
does not look now as if he would
meet with any success in New
York. Evidently lie expected to
raise a great deal of money there
and also to make many converts.
His failure to make a favorable
impression on his first appearance
led him perhaps to sav the harsh
things about the people ot New
York which he is reported to have
said. Perhaps, 1 owever, if he
thinks it necessary to his missior,
he will do like some politicians dc,
when things appear in interviews
with them m the newspapers which
they think, harmful to their inter
ests, namely, deny that he was re
ported correctly.
It must, of course, be admitted
that Dowie is a man of unusual
force of character. As to his sin
cerity there is a difference of opin
ion. But it does seem as if a man
could not hold so many people un
der his influence as long as he has
unless he were sincere. He has
probably succeeded in thoroughly
deceiving himself, and actually be
lieves he is the prophet he claims
to he.
There isn’t a great deal in the
religion vvhicji he teaches. The
points to which he gives promi
nence are the curing of disease by
faith and the nearness of the sec
ond advent. He thinks evil spirits
are everywhere, and that it is his
special mission to drive them out.
Since the foundation of the gov
ernment this country has paid in
pensions a little more than $3,000,-
000,000. From the organization of
the government until June 30,
1865, the sum total in pensions paid
was $96,000,000 —just about as
much as is now being paid every
eight months. The remainder of
the prodigious sum has been paid
since the close of the civil war.
Three billion dollars is a sum too
vast to be readily comprehended by
the average mind. Some idea of
its enormousness, however, may be
had from an illustration given by
Pension Commissioner Ware. He
says a cubic foot of coinage gold
is worth $299,977.82. Three billion
dollars’ worth of coinage gold
would, therefore, make an obelisk
xo feet square and 108 feet high.
Cotton Now and Next Spring-
Cotton experts, including mid
dlemen and purchasing agents,
agree in saying that the reason
why the incoming cotton crop is
selling at 9 cents and fractions
above is because of the conditions
in the money market.
While it is admitted that there is
money enough in the batiks and
available to them to handle the
crop at ro cents and more per
pound, and the mill people would
gladly stock up for future needs
around that figure, they cannot get
the ready loan money from the

banks for that purpose. Even now
the southern mills are buying in
only small quantities because of
the possible contingencies of the
market and the unwillingness of
the banks to advance money for
larger supply stocks. Many mills
that use from twenty to fifty bales
per day have out orders to pu -chase
so many day by day, and urging
sales of their goods to supply cash
for current purchases.
The banks are keeping close
watch on crop reports and on the
cotton goods market. The latter
have been v**ry tight recently and
no great increase of demand for
the piece goods is felt even yet.
with the oncoming of winter.
Prices do not rise because the con
sumption of the goods has fallen
off, indicating that the people can
not and will not pay more for
them.
Yet this condition cannot long
remain. The cotton is needed and
must be taken up by the manufac
turers, who cannot afford to allow
their plants to lie idle. Cotton is
cheaper today, calculated on the
basis of visible crop and probable
demand, at to cents per pound than
it was a year ago at 8.50 cents per
pound,
The yellow fever situation at La
redo . does not seem to be improv
ing very rapidly, notwithstanding
the doctors and the people have
made war on the mosquitoes as
well as on the disease directly. Dr,
Guiteras, who holds to the mos
quito infection theory strongly,
has been making a special study of
that theory at Laredo. He ought
to have an interesting report to
make, when the plague shall have
been broken by cool weather.
Meanwhile there is some satisfac
tion in observing that the death
rate is not excessive. It is, in
fact, much Lwer than the rate in
epidemics of fifteen or twenty years
ago. This shows that progress
has been made in combating the
disease.

LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.
How to Preserve Eggs and Keep
Them fer a Year.
Editors CouRANT: Since people
I back home ,ie .id I was pres rving
f eggs in California, I got so many
'letters I, though a stenographer,
cannot answer them, and so I will
'ask the Courant. which visits the
; homes of most of my old friends,
to publish this le'ter.
After being here three months I
felt so much better I began looking
for something to do to replenish
my pocket-book, and the poultry
business was the only thing that
came within my limit; so I, with
another lady, rented five acres of
land, got a cow and some chickens
an 1 began business. We joined
the Egg Association, sell no eggs
for less than 30 cents a dozen and
often get 40; the preserver costs
about a cent a dozen, will keep the
eggs perfectly for a year and you
cannot tell them from fresh eggs.
Last summer we went up in the
back country and bought 2,000
dozen at 12 cents, preserved them
and sold them in four months for
34 cents a dozen. Pretty good for
two girls, wasn’t it?
A great many ask if I think they
can make money preserving eggs.
I tell them ‘‘Ye;, for I have, and
that when I was too weak to sit up
all day.” I spoke to our secretary,
who is an intimate friend of mine,
about sending directions for pre
serving eggs to people, and he said
he wou’d mail directions to any
one that wrote him; so, if you want
to make money, address the Carls
bad Egg Cos , Carlsbad, Cal., and
tell them Mary J Thompson told
you to write for directions. You
should enclose five or six two-cetit
stamps for postage, as the direc
tions cover threp typewritten pages,
t iking time to write; and, while
they make no charges, I do not
want my friends to impose on their
c jurtesy.
This is a chance for people, in
both town and country. Start with
S2O. and reinvest all the proceeds
of it for seven years and you will
have almost $20,000. Just for
amusement figure what S2O will
bring in seven years at 150 per
cent, compound interest, and on
eggs you often make 200 per cent,
as in many places you can buy
eggs for 8 or 10 cents, which in
winter bring 30 or 35 cents a dozen.
What better business do you want?
Hoping I have not wearied you
with my enthusiasm. I am,
Truly yours,
Mary J. Thompson.
Carlsbad, Cal., Oct. 17, 1903.
A Royal Mouth of Royal Disease
Sudden changes of weather are
especially trying, and probably to
none more so than to the scrofulous
and consumptive. The progress of
scrofula during a normal October is
commonly great. We never think of
scrofula its bunches cutaneous
eruptions, and wasting of the bodily
substance —xvithout thinking of the
great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Ho id’s Sarsapa
rilla, whose radical and permanent
cures of this one disease are enough
to make it the most famous medicine
in the world. There is probably not
a city or town where Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla has not proved its merit in more
homes than one, in arresting and
completely eradicating scrofula,
which is almost as serious a.d as
much to be feared as its near relative
—consumption.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
WHITE MAN LED NEGROES-
Three of Them Were Killed and
Several WouiideO.
New Orleans, Oct. 20. —Asa re
sult of a bloody encounter between
a band of negroes, led by a white
man, and a constable’s po<se, three
negroes have been killed and seven
or eight wounded in the rear of
Pecan plantation in St. Charles
parish.
None of the posse was hurt. The
surviving negroes and their white
leader, Pat McGee, fled to the
swamps and are being searched
for. Further trouble is feared.
McGee and the negroes have
been working for the Mississippi
Valley railroad. Several days ago
complaint was lodged against them
that they had contracted debts and
refused to pay. Charges were
made, and Constable Songy went
out to see the negroes. On the wav
he met John Hinds, a negro assis
tant of McGee, who covered him
with a shotgun and commanded
him to keep away from the camp,
Songy returned to St. Rose and
organized a posse. Near the camp
the posse encountered eighteen ot
the negroes and McGee, all heav
ily armed. Both parties concealed
themselves in the high weeds, and
a battle of tweuty minutes resulted.
The negroes and McGee finally lost
their nerve and fled.
The bodies of three of the ne
groes were picked up when the
smoke cleared away Several of
them were wounded.
Temperance and Health-
The philosophic editor of the
Jacksonville, (Fla.) Times-Uuion
discussing the laws of health holds
that a man has no business to be
sicb, and that nine times in ten
the map.dies of the body are results
of his own imprudence or sins
against diet, temperance and wis
dom. Most candid doctors will tell
you that the largest number of
physical disorders come from o\er
eati ig, excessive drinking of intoxi
cating liquors, or imprudent con
sumption ot impure water or con
taminated milk. These can gen
erally be avoided.
The Chinese pay physicians to
keep them well, and no lees are
bestowed or expected when the
patient is sick. The Italian,
Cornaro, w-ho was a wreck at 40
years of age and pronounced by
the medical faculty incurable, re
stored himself to health and happi
net s by strict temperance in food,
and many years afterwar 1 not
only gave his rules for useful
longevity but broke forth in rhap
sody when speaking of the bless
ings that result from self-denial
and abstinence.
All doctors, disposed to be frank,
will tell you that, next to gluttony
in eating and dunking, men destroy
their health with drugs. Some
people contend that the reason
cures are occasionally made by
Christian Science may bj found in
the potency of discarding all drugs,
and allowing nature to adjust its
disturbed balance.
It is on the same theory that
many people fast for a nay or so
and give their sj stems opportunity
to throw off disturbing matter and
return to normal conditions.
Cause of Lockjaw.
Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus 01 perm which exists plenti
fully in street dirt. It is inactive so
long as exp >sed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in the
w r ounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails, and when the air is
excluded the germ is roused to activity
and produces the most virulent poison
known. These germs may be des
troyed and all danger of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm freely as soon as the
injury is received. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic and causes such injuries to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required bv the usi a!
treatment. It is for sale by J. H.
