PRICE OF BLOOD IS THE CAUSE
Virginia Carolina Chemical Co. and
the Big Packing Houses May Lock
Horns In a Conflict Over the Price
of Their Products.
White Man Turned Yellow.
Great consternation was felt by the
friends of M. A, Hogarty of Lexington,
Ky., when they saw he was turning yel
low. Hia skin slowly changed color, also
bia eyes, and he suffered terribly. His
malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was
treated by the orst doctors, but without
benefit. Then be was advised to try
Electrlo Bitters, tbe wonderful Stomach
and Liver remedy,and he writes: “After
taking two bottles I was wholly cored,”
A trial proves its matohleBS merit for
all Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles.

WILL SQUEEZE THE CONSUMER.
Kings of the Steel Trnst Will Not
Suffer.
Americns supply dealers who are
loading np on cotton ties, and there aro
several, scent danger ahead In a prob
able advance in ties about the time tbe
farmers need them. The great strike
of laborers in the steel hoop “trnst” is
the menace jnst now. The trnst con
trols the eotton tie supply. In the
event of a labor trouble lasting any
length of time and costing a consider
able amonnt of money, it is to be ex
pected that the trnst would endeavor
to reconp itself by running np the
price of ties to consumers. In the long
rnn it is the consumer, usually, tbat
has to bear the greater part of the bur
den of strikes.
Fertilizer dealers in Americns and
farmers as well are interested in tbe
threatened war between two giant
trusts, tbe Yirginia-Carolina Chemical
Co. which owns the remnant of a fac
tory in Americns, and tbo great com
bine of western packing bouses.
Tbo war cloud hangs low and the
conflict, which will not hurt us, may
not be long delayed.
It will be a clash of the giants, and
as wholly disinterested spectators the
people here who pay a price to both
j may witnefs the death grapplo and
really enjoy it.
For tbe past two years tbe big pack
ing; bouses, Swifts and Armour's,
have been forcing up tbe price of blood
and tankage, ingredients bongbt from
them by tbe fertilizer combine. These
products are rich in ammonia, which
is required iu makiug of fertilizer.
Recently there has been a healthy
advance in the price of this bi-product
of the packeries.
In order to protect themselves, tbe
Virginia-Carolina Company had begun
buying np cotton seed oil plants. It
has recently purchased the Interstate
Mill, at Augusta, at $150,000, has
bought four mills in South Carolina,
and mills at other points, besides
which it has options on a number of
others not in tbe Southern Cotton Oil
Company,
This company will uso cottonseed
meal as its source of ammonia, which,
though not so good as tangago and
dried blood, is more abundant. It is
expeoted there will be a lively struggle
between the two factions.
This, of course, consumers would
very deeply “regret.”
Georgia used in 1900 412,900 tons of
fertilizers, and though the figures have
not been given out for 1901 it is Baid
the amount will approximate 500,000
tons. Any competition between these
two trusts which will tend to redneo
the price will mean a great deal to the
Georgia planters,
Americns to take tbe places of the
strikers, were lauded in jail yesterday
because of their inability to give a bond
of 8100 each for their appearance at
cot rl as witnesses in a state case.
This imprisonment prevents their
leaving Americns, as they proposed
doing, having quit the employ of the
road hereou Thursday last.
Verily, their pathway in Americus
was not strewn with roses.
Nearly a month ago Balch and Smith
accompanied two or three of the Ameri
cns strikers into the woods one Sunday,
and afterwards reported to their shop
friends that the strikers had abused
and maltreated them,
The grand jury promptly indicted
the three striking machinists.
Balch and Smith wero summoned as
witnesses, but the case was transferred
to the City Court and may be heard in
August, Two or three days ago these
men, with four of their follows, decid
ed to quit the Seaboard shops and re
turn to their homes in Baltimore.
Yesterday Solicitor Hooper secured
from Judge Littlejohn an order for the
incarceration of the two foreigners un
less they could give bond of $100 each
for their appearance at court.
The men are strangers here, and un
less their friends put up the collateral
they may have to stay in jail until
oonrt convenes in Augnst. They be
wailed their misfortnne yesterday as
they looked out gloomily from the win
dows of their narrow cells.
It is safe to say that they have more
than enough of Americns’hospitality i ?)

NO CAUSE PGR A DOG SCARE.
WANTS DAMAGES OF SEABOARD.
Bait Filed in City Court Here For
Large Amount-
W. P. Wallis, Esq., as attorney for
H. Z. Stewart, filed yesterday in tbe
City Conrt a claim for damages against
the Seaboard Air Line Railway for
personal injuries to H. Z. Stewart on
February llth last. Ho was then em
ployed at the company's Bhops in this
eity, and in handling a car loaded with
timbers control of it was lost and tbe
timber fell npon Stewart, crushing his
leg. He alleges that the equipment
of the car was defective, and asks the
payment of $<>,900 for the injuries
ans tamed.
Canines Not Always Mad as Many
Suppose.
While the poison toBsers relieved
the dog pressure in Ameriens last
summer to an extent, the city is still
“long” on oanines. And as the weath
er grows warmer the inevitable soare
of mad dog may be expeoted. Dogs
suffer from the heat as do people. His
skin is not porons. He is incapable of
perspiration. Therefore, the moisture
generated within him by excessive
heat can find no escape eavo through
the mouth. In various degrees he
slobbers and foams. Frequently he
has fits—which bear about the samo
relation to hydrophobia that a bonqnet
bears to a haystaok. It needs, how
ever, only one fool to yell 'mad dog
and a few more fools to chase and stone
the miserable, terrified brnte. Then
passersby lose their heads, the nearest
policeman is summoned, and he ends
with a bullet tbe discomfort that might
in many cases just as readily ne ended
by a drink of cold water.

Vicious Cow Gores And Tramples On
Money Clerk.
Knocked down in the mad, gored,
his clothing trampled into shreds, his
countenance slightly marred and his
silk umbrella a total wreck, was the
inventory taken of F. P. Mitchell last
night after a terrific enooanter with
wild cow.
The attaok was as nnexpeoted as
was severe, and Clerk Mitchell was
fortunate in escaping from the mad
dened beast with his life.
The encounter took place opposite
Tnrpin’s livery stables.
Clerk Mitohell was crossing the
roadway with his umbrella raised,
when a conntry bovine driven by a ne
gro slipped her trolley and collided
with him. With lowered horns and
glaringeyes the maddened beast knock
ed him down and trampled him nnder
foot.
Her sharp horns ripped Mitchell
new snit into strings, while with danc
mg feet the now maddened beaBt
strnck right and left.
One horn cut a painful gash over his
left oye.
The negro tagged at the rope in the
meanwhile, and with the assistance of
others finally palled the cow away
Mr. Mitchell lost no time in getting
ont of range of her horns and hoofs,
thoagh he was psinfally hart and his
salt and umbrella were a wreck.
It was a Fourth of July episode not
appreciated by Clerk Mitchell, who
abhors cows anyhow.;

wreck. None of the passengers re
ceived even a scratch, though it was
reported hero at first that several
them were badly shaken np. Both
Ehgineer liittenberry and Fireman
Hines escaped without a scratch.

PERRY SWINGS NEXT TUESDAY
Americus Negro Will Pull Hemp
For Crime.
It is reported here upon seemingly
good authority that Charles Perry,
the Americus negro under sentence of
death in Philadelphia, will be hanged
on Tuesday 16th inst, along with his
two accomplices.
These, too, are negroes, and the
three will die together.
The crime for which the men will
die was the brutal murder of Professor
White, a well known oitiaen of Phila
delphia, about a year ago, the faots
being well remembered.
Perrv’i friends in Amerious have
made strenuous effort by petition and
otherwise to get a commutation of the
death sentenee, but it seems without
success. The three men will doubt
less swing on the 16th.
Perry’s wife left Amerious recently
to see him in prison, aud may remain
until after the execution.
Deafness Cannot he Cured
by local applications, os they cannot
leaoh the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
aud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iniUmed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound of
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
nnlesss the inflammation can be taken
oat and this tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of tbe mucuous
surfaces.

Hall’s Family Pills are the best,
Are often capable
of doing injury to
less positive people, the very emphasis
of their affirmation making up for lack
of argument and want of evidence.
And tile worst of all dogmatists are
those doctors who, harking back to some
old dogma of the schools, insist that
certain patients are beyond all medical
help, because, forsooth, their diseases
are beyond the limited medical know
ledge of the dogmatist.
w When the physicians had given me
up I was cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.” That state
ment, varied sometimes in form but
identical in fact, is one of the common
expressions found in the letters of those
cured by "Golden Medical Discovery.”
Sometimes the statement runs; " I was
given up by four doctors,” showing a
desperate effort to find relief in local
practitioners. But however the story
begins, it almost invariably ends with
tbe statement, " I am perfectly cured by
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.”
Persons suffering from " weak” lungs,
hemorrhages, deep-seated cough, ema
ciation and weakness, have been restored
to perfect health by the "Discovery.”
The philosophy of the cures effected
by this marvelous medicine is not hard
to understand. Life is sustained by
food, digested and assimilated. Tbe
basis of health is a good appetite and a
sound digestion. In almost all cases of
disease loss of appetite is an early symp
tom, and this is promptly followed by a
wasting of the flesh. For some cause
the food eaten is not being converted
into nutrition and the body and its or
gans, being starved, must grow weak.
There is only one way to get strength
and that is by food. Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery heals diseases of the
stomach and allied organs of digestion
and nutrition, so enabling the body to
assimilate the needed nourishment.
Thus various forms of "weakness,” so-
called, are cured by the "Discovery”—
"weak” lungs, "weak” heart, "weak”
nerves, "weak” or sluggish liver, etc.,
because the organs are made strong by
food, which is perfectly digested and
assimilated after the "Discovery” has
healed the diseases of the stomach and
associated organs of digestion and nu
trition.

Foreigners Who Took Machinists
Places Leave,
An even half dozen of the foreign
era and others brought here from the
North to take the places of striking
machinists in the shops of tbe Sea
board Railway walked ont yesterday.
They are eyidently tired of Ameri
cas, and yearn for home.
The shops shut down on ThnrBday,
all the men in the machine shops tak
ing a holiday. The foreigners came
into the city aud mingled freely with
tbe strikers and others.
It was then that six of the men ex
pressed their intention of quitting the
shops and returning at once to their
homes m the north.
The made a demand for a settlement
their work.
But it being a legal holiday nothing
oould be done towards paying them,
and the matter went over until yester
day morning.
The men, on yesterday, still insist
ed on being given tbeir time, and a
settlement was probably made. They
seemed anxious to leave, now that
they had determined to quit the shops.
The men will probably get away
some time this morning.
This is the first break in the ranks
of the new workmen since arriving
here a month ago. A dozen of them
are still quartered at the chops.
