If not benefitted call on the agent
you bought of, carry your bottle
back, write vour name on the label
and tell the agent what you were

not benefitted and get your money
back. Isn’t that fair? I have
never as yet had a bottle returned.
How does that speak for the
medicine?
ALL PIG IRON RECORDS
BROKEN IN ALABAMA.
The Georgia and Alabama Indus¬
trial Index, published at Columbus,
Ga., says in its regular weekly issue:
“With all records for pig iron pro¬
duction in the state of Alabama bro¬
ken by the October output, it can be
realized that not only have normal
conditions returned in mining circles
but the entrance into another period
of marked activity and prosperity
perhaps greater than ever before ex¬
perienced, is self-evident. Along
with the creation of a new high-wa¬
ter mark in pig iron production comes
the announcement that the wages of
coal miners are to be increased, and
this is a very healthy sign. An inter¬
esting incident in connection with
what might be termed the rejuvena¬
tion of the Great Alabama mineral
district is the plan to build a model
industrial city for employes of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad
Company, a few miles out from Bir¬
mingham.
“Two dozen corporations, with a
minimum capital stock of $526,500,
were formed in the two states during
the week in addition to a $3,000,000
company that plans to build a rail¬
road from Thomasville, Ga., to a
point on the Gulf of Mexico. Two
companies were formed at Birming¬
ham, Ala., to manufacture moving
picture films, one with $100,000 and
the other with $20,000 capital stock.
Many deals in city real estate and
farm lands are reported, the consid¬
eration being as high as $75 an acre
in the sale of some particularly
choice and well located plantations.”
METHODIST CONFERENCE
North Georgia Branch Assembles In
Atlanta Today, Wednesday.
Bishop E. R. Hendrix will call the
North Georgia Methodist conference
to order in Atlanta this morning,
November 17, in its forty-third sess¬
ion. The place for the convention is
St. Paul Methodist church, which
will bear the distinction of entertain¬
ing the convention.
As this year closes a quadrennium
of work, there will be an election of
delegates to the general conference
of Southern Methodism, which con¬
venes at Ashville, N. C., in May, 1910.
The delegation will consist of seven
lay and seven clerical delegates.
There are 217 regular pastors who
fill 800 pulpits, and eleven presiding
elders of districts. Of this number
of pastors and presiding elders there
are only sixteen who have served
their present appointments four years
—the time limit. All these will of
course have to have new places.
Out of so large a body of ministers
it is remarkable that only four deaths
have occurred this year. These are
Dr. John W. Heidt, presiding elder
of the Augusta district; Dr. J. J.
Myriek, of College Park; Dr. John S.
Moore, of Oxford; Rev. F. P. Brown,
of Sharon. The last three were su¬
perannuates. Only one effective man
has died out of the total of 217 itin¬
erant preachers.
Bishop Hendrix and his cabinet will
be in session each afternoon from 3
to 5 o’clock and at night from 7:30 to
9:30, arranging the new appointments.
These sessions are always secret and
no information is allowed to get to
the outside world until the Bishop is
ready to announce all the secrets at
one time, when he reads the appoint¬
ments, and that concludes the con¬
ference.
Little Breaks.
Among “blunders in emphasis” the
prize must be awarded to the remark
of the beautiful Miss Gunning to
George 11. She told the king that she
would dearly love to see a coronation.
A compliment uot Infrequently takes
a questionable form. G. W. E. Bus¬
sell in his “Collections and Recollec¬
tions’’ tells of a working class admirer
who once said to the dean of Windsor
(Dr. Wellesley). “I always say there’s
nothing of the gentleman about you.”
—St. James’ Gazette.
The Part That Never Changes.
“What a very affecting part, my
dear,” remarked the husband as they
returned from the suburban theater
the other night. “I suppose there
wasn’t a dry eye In the house.”
“I observes, however,” said the wife,
“that there seemed to be the usual
number of dry throats.”—London Tit
Bits.
A Growing Love.
Mr. and Mrs. Married Bliss were
both growing very plump, aud every
effort to reduce weight had proved
fruitless, and their discontent with
their failure was pathetic.
“It Is too bad,” said a mutual friend
to a sympathetic physician. "The
Blisses are so fond of each other and
used to be so graceful and slender
when they were first married."
“Ah, well!” replied the physician
“Think how much more they sre to
each other now.”—Life.
His Question.
"Johnny, leave me alone and don’t
ask me another question!”
“Just one more, an’ then I’ll keep
still.”
“Well, what is It?”
“What relation Is a cousin German
j to a Dutch ancle?”
THE COVINGTON NEWS
CHAMPION COTTON GROWER.
Mr. T. E. Hardman of Hayston Grows
Largest Cotton in State.
Mr. T. E. Hardman, of Hayston,
was in the city one day last week and
stated to a News reporter that he had
just shipped several stalks of cotton,
one of which contained 950 fully ma¬
tured bolls, and the others ranging all
the way from seven hundred to that
number.
Mr. Hardeman grows every year a
number of these large stalks of cotton
to enter them in a contest, and he
has never yet failed to capture the
top premium. This year he received
one hundred dollars for his labor and
he states that next year he is going to
try to produce a stalk containing one
thousand bolls, for which there is a
standing offer of five hundred dollars
to the person growing it.
If there is a man in the state who
can do this it is Mr. Hardeman. He
never fails to grow large, heavy bear¬
ing stalks and will eventually produce
one with the thousand bolls.
Mr. Hardeman, when asked how
much the yield per acre would be if
the entire lot was as good as that
shipped, stated that one acre planted
in checks of five feet distance and
containing six hundred bolls to the
stalk the yield would be six bales.
That shows to what an extent the soil
of this county can be brought up and
the difference there would be in the
yield if the farmers would cultivate
their crop on this plan. In his regu¬
lar farm Mr. Hardeman generally
makes above the average and all the
time builds up the land which he cul¬
tivates.
CONVICTS ESCAPE.
Three Negroe Trusties Escape From
County Camp Last Week.
Three negroes escaped from the con¬
vict camp of the county in the west¬
ern section last week and so far they
are still at large. The guard had
them out doing road work and when
a short distance from him they made
a break and escaped. They were shot
at by him, but this failed to stop
them.
The matter was reported to the
commissioners and a reward of $50.00
each has been offered for their cap¬
ture. Their names are Bam Washing¬
ton, 38 years old, weight 160 pounds,
color black; Will Moore, 39years old,
ginger color, weight 150 to 160 pounds;
Dan Slaughter, 25 years old, dark
brown color.
The next day after their escape the
authorities at Rutledge called up
Sheriff Hay and stated that two of
them had been seen in that city where
they broke into a house and left a
part of one of the shackles. Deputy
Sheriff Nixon and others went down
to catch them,but after a lively search
with the dogs they failed to find
them.
So far no definite clue is known as
to their whereabouts, but in all pro¬
bability they will be returned before
many days.
CROWD HERE SATURDAY.
Merchants and Business Men Did Ex¬
cellent Business.
Last Saturday was another of those
good days for business in Covington.
A good crowd of our rural friends
were here pretty much all during the
day, and the good part of it was that
they all had the elusive cart wheels
and were intent on making purchas¬
es of the various commodities needed
on their farms.
All the business houses here did a
good business and the sales by many
of them were the largest made during
the year. The fact that cotton has
been bringing a good price all the
season and the farmers here have
been raising a larger amount of their
own supplies makes the trade better
this season than for the past five
years.
It is an old argument that when the
farmer has cash everyone is happy
and this year seems to be intent on
proving the fallacy of the opinion.
Mr. Wells Returns to City.
Mr. Geo. T. Wells, who has been
traveling over in the Carolinas for
the Liquid Carbonic Gas Co., has re¬
turned to the city and is again at his
old stand, the Wells Bottling Works.
Mr. Wells returns with his health
very much improved and is as genial
as ever.
He will devote much of his time to
pushing Wells Fruit Punch, of which
he is the originator and sole owner.
Well, we are at it again, making
those same good oyster stews like we
made so many last season. Try one
when in town and wanting something
to eat and then you need not be
afraid of acute indigestion from eat¬
ing your dinner in town.— Parkers
