TAL LOSS IN TATNALL COUNTY.
some of the Small Farmers Totally
iuined by the Storm. Fences
and Bridges Broken Down.
Visitors in Savannah, says the
Morning News, report a heavy hail
and wind storm in Tatnall county
which has practically caused a total
loss of all erops within a certain area.
The loss cannot be estimated, and so“
far only one fatality is known to have
resulted.
Mr. G. G. Pippins of Claxton re
lated an unusual story of the disaster
which had visited the county.
The devastated district, according
to Mr. Pippins, extended in the area
between Reidsville, Collins, Ohoopee
and as far north as Clinch. Within
this district there is little left of grow
ing crops or vegetables of any kind,
whole fields of cotton and corn being
razed, and houses, fences and bridges
broken down, with great loss to stock
and the loss of one life. |
Several Inches of Ice, 1
The hail storm started about 3
o’clock and continued for about an
half hour. So heavy was the fall that
several inches covered the ground
when the wind and fall of frozen rain
finally subsided.
Mr. Pippins said it would be impos
¢ivle to estimate the loss to the resi
dents within this district, but that it
would necessitate the replanting of
such crops as could be made profita
ble at this late season, and that some
of the smaller planters were totally
ruined by the storm. He said he had
heard that a negro man was killed at
the saw mill of Messrs. A. C. Parker
& Son, near Reidsville.

A TID-BIT FOR SCIENTISTS.
S ————————
Skeleton of Prehistoric Pennsylvan
ian Found Beneath Coal Deposits.
Digging hundreds of feet below the
surface of the earth in a Pennsylvania
coal mine one day recently a miner
came upon what has been declared the
well-preserved skeleton of a man. It
was under a deposit of anthracite coal.
The bones were fossilized, but were so
perfect that they are tc be articulated
and sent to a prominent museum.
This find will prove of deep interest
to scientists, and we may expect to
have some very learned, and very dry,
papers from them based on the pre
historic Pennsylvanian. If the remains
were below the coal deposits, as has
been asserted, that would tend to show
that mankind inhabitied the earth
while the coal deposits were in process
of formation. How long ago that era
was is a matter of conjecture, but
some of the leading geologists place
it at millions of years; and if men
lived on the earth millions of years
ago and the fact can be proved by the
remains of the defunct Pennsylvanian,
who never lived to know Quay and
Pennypacker—how great his loss!—
then it would appear that science and
religion have another difference be
tween themselves that needs to be ad
justed.
THE TEXAS COTTON OUTLOOK,
|This Year's Yield Cannot Be More
Than 50 Per Cent of Last Year's.
The local papers of Texas, without
‘cxception, confirm the reports of an
‘exceedingly short cotton acreage in
‘the state that has the greatest infiu
{ence upon southern cotton production.
‘The planting season in Texas has
!been characterized by almost contin
uous rainfall, preventing the planting
of very much cotton seed that would
otherwise have gone into the ground.
The Houston Chronicle, which has
made a special effort through an ex
tensive system of correspondence to
ascertain the extent of the short cot
ton acreage in Texas, is convinced
that this season’s yield, under the
most favorable growing conditions
from now on, cannot reach more than
50 per cent of that of last season.
The Chronicle says:
Though it is now past the middle of
May, and cotton is frequently ready
’for' the picker by July 1, there is not
a stalk of cotton between Navasota
and Denison as high as a man’s hand,
and many thousands of acres on which
cotton grew last year, and which were
intended for eotton this year, have
not been planted, and rarely has there
been so disastrous a spring.
The wisest man is he who never pre
dicts cotton prices, yet unless there
should be most favorable conditions
for the next two months it will be im
possible to grow much more than half
the erop of 1904.
These are cold facts, patent to every
man who has observed conditions for
himself, as a representative of this
paper has done, but of course side
walk brokers and gamblers on wind
in New York will not believe them.
DOG HELD FOR COST.
A Columbus Officer Has a Canine
on His Hands.
A Columbus bailiff is holding a fox
eared shepherd dog for the purpose
of making justice court cost. It
seems the owner of the canine swore
out a possessory warrant to get pos
session of the dog that had been ille
gally spirited away by another citizen.
Getting his paws on the dog, however,
beiore court convened, neither the
plaintiff or defendant appeared in
court to show the wherefores and
whereofs, and as a result the bailiff
has seized the canine with a view of
making the cost. In the meantime, the
plaintiff is consoling himself with the
idea that 'while the dog is being led
around by the bailiff the bailiff
will have to feed and take care of it.
Besides, he gets some benefit out of
the novelty of the thing.

Kodol and he says it cured him. He
recommended it to others, who were
also cured.’” Kodol Dyspepsia Cure

TO A REPORTER.
Tell Why Colonel Dillingham’s Rem
edies Acquire Such Rapid
Popularity.
Col. F. A. Dillingham’s Plant Juice,
the medicine which is creating such a
furore among Dawson people, and
is being introduced here by the local
druggists, is practically a new remedy.
It was first introduced by Col. Dil
lingham about a year ago, and has
since made him a fortune which is
estimated above the half-million mark.
Although these remedies have been in
the drug stores only a few weeks the
work they are accomplishing is the
talk of this section.
Although very busy Mr. Bell. of
Bell Bros., yesterday gave five min
utes of his time to the discussion of
these remedies here and elsewhere.
Upon being asked, ‘‘Mr. Bell, how do
you account for the extreme pop
ularity of Plant Juice remedies in the
sections where they are advertised,
and the immense interest they arouse
so quickly?”’
Smilingly he replied: ‘‘Any popu
larity which they may acquire is not
by any means due to salesmanship or
advertising. All success which has
come to them is due entirely to the
formula which is used in preparing
them.
It is not on account of any special
liking for me that people come to my
drug store to shake m{ hand, as you
have seen them do while waiting here,
but it is simply owing to the fact that
this Plant Juice which I am selling
helps sick people, and the sick man cr
woman who has been benefited is the
most grateful person in the world.
““We who are well cannot realize
what days and weeks and months of
suffering means. Good health, after
all, is worth more than anything else
in the world. and because I am able
to help these poor sufferers with little
or no hope before them, for this
reason, and this only, do I win the
confidence and respect of my patrons.
““While Cql. Dillingham believes in
sharing to a certain extent what he is
fortunate enoug to make}] with his less
fortunate brethren, the money that he
distributes for charity produces only
a small portion of the friends which I
am proud to say the remedies acquire
throughout the country.
“Dillingham’s medicine is sold by‘
me at a very reasonable price, which
puts it within the reach of all. Every
sale I make is with the understanding
that if it fails to be a benefit I return
the money. Many people, knowing
that my word is good purchase from
me who would not otherwise, and it
would surprise you if I were to tell
you the small percentage whose
money I have returned to them owing
to the fact that they have not been
benefited.’’ Jor o
t This convesation took place at Bell
Bros’. drug store, and at the time
there were fully a dozen peogle wait
ing to obtain an interview with him.
Owing to the many peopie outside of
Dawson who are anxious to secure
some of the wonderful remedies a
special mail order department was
organized a few days ago to send
medicine in answer to letters received.
The amount of bnsiness which this de
partment is taking care of is stu
pendous. Last week there were re
lceived at the drug stores over a dozer
letters, enclosing anywhere from one
’to five dollars, asking either for Dil
lingham’s Plant Juice or the Plant
Juice liniment, or both.
The clerk who has charge of this de
partment for Bell Bros. in speaking
of the immense amount of mediciné he
is shipping said: ‘‘From almost the
first day of Col. Dillingham’s adver
tising the letters have been pouring
in, and have been increasing in num
ber daily, until last week we recejved
over fifty with requests for medicine.
As each one of the requests means the
shipping of a bottle or two you can
readily see that it keeps me farily
busy taking care of the orders.
““We send one bottle of Plant Juice
or two of Plant Juice Liniment upon
receipt of one dollar, or more in pro
portion. The Plant Juice is a kidney,
stomach, liver and blood medicine,
and is used in all cases of catarrh,
stomach troubles, kidney and bladder
complaints, torpid liver and impover
ished blood, being a grand spring
tonic, and the Plant Juice Liniment
for partial paralysis, stiff joints,
deafness and pains. The offer to send
medicine by express will continue in
definitely.”’

1,000,000 GLASSES OF BEER.
The Present Handed a Pennsylvania
Man by a Rich Brewer.
| From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Perhaps the most envied man in
western Pennsylvania today is Con
stable John Bertges of Alderman
Stork’s office. The constable, having
done some slight favor for Anton
Lutz, the millionaire brewer, and hav
ing refused a cash payment, "has ijust
received an order for one million
glasses of beer. The order is not
transferable, nor can Bertges collect
in bulk, the agreement being{) that he
shall call at the different breweries
controlled by Lutz as he becomes
thirsty and drink the beer on the prem
ises.
Bertges spent most of today seeing
if the order was good. It was. To
night he did a little figuring, and is
now sore that life is so short. His
figures show that drinking fourteen
glasses a day, Sundays included, it
would take him 208 years to get rid of
the little present handed him by the
brewer.
BIBLES IN HOTELS.
Movement to Put One in Every Sleep
ing Room Throughout Country.
Rev. H. M. Warren, a New York
preacher, is at the head of a move
ment for putting a bible into every
sleeping room of every hotel through
out the country. It is proposed to be
gin with the hotels of New York,
where religious study is apparently
sadly needed, and gradually extend
the field. Mr. Warren is confident
that he can place the books if he can
only get together a sufficient sum to
pay for them.
Some twenty-five or thirty vears ago
there was a somewhat similar move
ment. Persons old enough to recall
railway travel that far back will re
member that in every passenger car
there was tacked on the wall a little
iron case in which there rested a copy
of the Holy Scriptures, and at pretty
nearly every hotel at which one might
stop there was to be found on the cen
ter table in the parlor one or more
copies of the Bible. It is unlikely that
at that time the promoters of the
scheme had money enough to put the
books in a great many hotel sleeping
rooms, but they were in the parlors
and on the cars practically through
out the country. And there were evi
dences that a great many persons read
them. They were well thumbed, and
in a great many instances dirty—which
circumstances must be counted rather
gratifying than otherwise.
it seems that Rev. Mr. Warren’s
suggestion is a good one, though we
caunot account for the dropping of
the scheme of twenty-five years ago.
The Richest Man in the World.
The richest man in the world can
not have his kidneys replaced nor live
without them, so it is important not to
neglect these organs. If Foley’s Kid
ney Cure is taken at the first sign of
danger the symptoms will disappear
and your health will be restored, as
it strengthens and builds up these or
gans as nothing else will. Oscar Bow
