hffv' ears it is doubtful if any aroused
f.(',‘mz:{;xitud enthusiasm that Col.
;fii,nvfi . Dillingham’s visit to this
-1-::"""“ awakened in the minds of
. people. So strong has this feeling
E ihat hurdreds of people have
:i uaking earnest endeavors to
psuade Col. Dillingham to remain
‘, .outh. and yesterday he decided
w cield to the power that has been
brought £ bear upon him by his many
.« friends. In_ an interview with a
eer Col. Dillingham said: ‘‘My
.’f;yf,f,,;(,n was to leave for Cincinnati
ot Saturday, and I consider it to
", terest to have done so, but the
“onle of the state have ‘been very
} io me, and the telephone in my
partments at the hotel has been
i eine all day long for the past two
.. with requests that I remain a
onth longer. I have been urged by
mbers of my company to remain,
ut have been compelled to decline on
hccount of previous imperative busi
.« encagements elsewhere. 1 cer
~oy oratefully appreeciate the evi
d:;wl* of friendship of the people, and
Ipe very sorry to leave when the
ne comes.’’ It is understood that
.. Dillingham’s intention upon first
omine south was to sell his medicines
-1 handle them himsel; that no one
tside of the company be allowed to
wopose of the remedies, but the de-
Land for the goods has grown to such
sormous proportions that he has
ound himself unable to supply hun
-leds of people anxious to obtain the
emedies, and has placed the med
ines in the hands of druggists, and
ne remarkable remedies will be sold
.om the drug stores hereafter. Col.
jillincham is only an example oi the
1l known fact that most of the suc
»ssful men began life with very little.
1o started with next to nothing, and
vas educated to a great extent in the
Lchool of experience and hard knowl
ive: he comes from a long line of in
<trious Vermont politicians and has
herited from them a remarkable gift
foratory and personal magnetism.
1 the age of fourteen the desire for
avel was too strong to be resisted
by the boy, and he left a luxurious
ome with nothing in his pocket to
ook fame and fortune in the unknown
world which lay beyond the Green
ountains surrounding his homestead;
the next ten years he traveled the
\vorld over, encountering many hard
kiips and seeing many people and
places. [t is ¢laimed by him there are
very few towns of any consequence in
he United States that he has not vis
ited. and his wanderings extended to
South Ameriea, Australia, China and
Janan. He never stayed long in any
vlace, but was continually on the
wove, his restless disposition driving
m ever onward, and as the old say
ins cvoes, ‘*a rolling stone gathers no
noss.”’ at the end of ten years he was
hardly any better off outside of the
vast fund of experience and adventure.
In the early nineties he spent six
months in Australia, and it is believ
dhe here learned the formula from
which his famous Plant Juice is now
ade and which has brought him the
normous fortune he possesses; from
Australin Dillingham made his way
east and his fortunate days seemed to
date from this time. During the jour
ney westward he begar. advertising his
remedies, and met with almost instant
success. By the time he reached Ohio
he had accumulated a rather hand
some nest egg, which formed a nucleus
for his present fortune. He settled in
Cincinnati, where he obtained a tiny
laboratory for the assembling of the
remedies, but the wonderful success-of
the medicine was so instant that in
s than a few years he was forced
;' times to move into larger quar

valet and host of attendants, who have
been in his employ for years and seem
to be devotedly attached to him. His
home life at Cincinnati seems to be
ideal, as he retains apartments at
Hotel Alms, Cincinnati's most exclus
ive hostelry, and with his three auto
mobiles and his stable of trotters and
runners he entertains his friends with
the gorgeousness and hospitality of
an eastern potentate. Col. Dilling
ham’s success as an advertiser and
a lecturer on disease has been so re
markable that many have come to the
belief that he is a hypnotist of un
usual power; that this remarkable
force and wondertful influence here in
the city are due to hypnotic powers.
This’is, of course, an absurdity on its
face, as it is utterly impossible for a
hynotist, no matter how strong, to ex
ert influence over more than one
person at a time, and the idea of this
man hypnotizing thousands of people
into the belief that they were cured by
the use of his mdeicines can only be
entertained by people ignorant of what
hynotism and Its limitations really
are. Col: Dillingham’s success can be
attributed to but two things: First, his
thorough understanding in all that it
includes: and seconed, the fact that he
has remarkable remedies which do
more than he claims for them. That
the first is true can never be question
ed. The fact that the entire country
is acquainted with what Col. Dilling
ham has done here is proof enough
that his ideas of advertising are cor
rect, and it would be hard to find an
other instance of any one man or
company of men interested in any
commercial enterprise establishing
themselves in twice the length of time
on the firm basis of popularity which
Col. Dilligham has obtained for him
self in the very short space of time
which he has spent in this section.
That the second is true, anyone will
believe who will eall at the drugstores
and spend an hour or so listening to
what the people have to say, and
listen to what is said by callers for
the remedies. In nine out of ten cases
they have been induced to come by
some friend or neighbor who has
taken the Dillingham medicine for one
thing or another and have been so
greatly improved and benefit>d that
they have urged all their friends who
may have been known to the suffers to
obtain some of the medicines. Col.
Dillingham’s work in this state is un
doubtedly accomplishing a world of
good to many sick people, and he has
the best wishes of thousands of Ter
rell county people for a continuation
of his prosperity.
$lOO,OOO TO BUY WHISKEY.
The Debauch of the Indians in Ne
braska Has Begun.
An Omaha dispatch says that with
in the next ten days the United States
government will give to the Omaha
Indians, in Nebraska, $lOO,OOO with
which to buy whiskey of the most pois
onous and loathsome variety. Al
ready, according to Agent MeKay, the
debauch of the Indians has begun at
Pender, Decatur and other towns.
Two Indian bucks died Thursday from
the effects of poisonous liquor. Wag
on loads of Indians, male and female,
literally paralized, are started home
behind driverless horses.
Agent McKay says the Indians are
not dangerous, for the reason that
the liquor is of such quality that it
puts them in a stupor. Columbia
spirits are the most common substi
tute given to the Indians, being a low
quality of aleohol used in making
hair tonic. This liquor makes the
Indians so violently ill that they can
not eat, and frequently starve. :
All this debauchery is the result of
the supreme court’s ruling that In
dians with allotments are citizens,
and may drink all they wish. The
authorities are perfectly helpless un
der this decision, but so frightful
have conditions become that citizens
of Decatur, Pender and Homer are
trying to drive out the saloons after
they have enjoyed undisturbed pros
erity for twenty years. Homer’s sa-
Foons as a result must close Monday.
The Salve That Penetrates.
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve pen
eirates the pores of the skin, and by
its antiseptic, rubifocient and healing
influence it subdues inflammation and
cures boils, burns, cuts, eczema, tet
ter, ring worm and all skin diseases.
A specific for blind, bleeding, itching
and protruding piles. The original
and genuine Witch Hazel Salve is
made by E. C. DeWitt & Co., and
sold by Dawson Drug Co.
Figures Are Mighty Large.
A buffalo bull recently slaughtered
in lowa brought its owner nearly $4,-
000. The head sold for $6OO, the hide
for $3OO and the meat for fifty cénts a
pound. In the year 1877 a drove of
buffaloes estimated at 4,000,000 head
crossed the North Platte river in Ne
braska. They were worth a dollar
apiece to the poachers who extermi
nated them for their hides. ‘

Another Man Is Lost Where Million
aire Wentz So Mysteriously
Disappeared.
Black Mountain, in southwest Vir
ginia, records what appear to be
another mysterious disappearance,
this being the third in recent years
and the fifth since men yet living can
remember. J. Harvey Wood, a Bris
tol, Tenn., merchant, recently left for
Big Stone Gap, Va., where he pur
chased a ticket on the Louisville and
Nashville road for Pennington Gap,
in Lee county, Virginia. This is as
far as the missing man could be
traced, and his relatives are puz
zled to understand whayv has become
of him. His young wife has closed up
the home at Bristol and gone to her
relatives at Marion, Va., pending
news from her husband.
It was in this same mountain, in
1903, that Edward L. Wentz, a young
millionaire, so mysteriously disap
peared, and whose disappearance re
sulted in the memorable search of sev
eral weeks that proved fruitless re
gardless of rewards that aggregated
$55,000. The skeleton of Wentz was
found some six months later in a lone
ly spot in the mountains, and to this
day the mystery of his tragic death
has never been cleared.
Earlier in the same year John B.
Gearhard, a Bristol insurance man,
disappeared in the same region, and
nothing definite has ever been heard
as to what became of him. His ward
robe and library are still at Bristol
unclaimed.
PASSING OF THE PANAMA.
After a Lingering Struggle the Costly
Fad Is Disappearing.
After a season of lingering struggle
the Panama hat has passed, says a
New York dispatch. One may be seen
here and there. but it will mark the
wearer as one of extravagant taste or
having no need to limit expenditures.
For the only varieties on sale in the
high-class hat stores range in price
from $5O up. In the Bowery imitation
Panamas will be sold at about half
price as compared with even a year
ago.
To take the place of the Panama for
the man who abhors a hard hat,
whether in straw or derbies, bamboo
straws with telescope crowns will be
very popular this year—at $lO or
thereabouts. They are finely woven,
and have the advantage over Panamas
of having no stiffening to be washed
out by the first shower. They are
also to be had in the regular Panama
shape, but the latter will not be great
ly in demand.
Another soft straw hat that. is ex
pected to be popluar is the Mackinaw.
so called, though the hats are woven
in Japan. Young men will prefer
them in a rather extreme style, with
crown and brim each of two and three
quarter inches.
CATFISH STOLE SHOT GUN.
An Alabama Man Loses Gun Under
Peculiar Circumstances,
A Swan Lake, Ala., dispatch says:
While fishing for perch Edward A.
Scott, a prominent merchant of Deca
tur, lost a shot gun under peculiar cir
cumstances.
Scott was seated in his boat and
had carried his gun with him, resting
the barrel across the bow of the boat
when he reached the fishing grounds.
Suddenly a large fish leaped up and
in an instant snapped the stock of the
gun from the barrel. Mr. Scott says
the fish was of the species known to
southern waters as the shovel-nose
catfish, and was six feet in length.
The shovel-nose catfish has been
known to attack boys while in swim
ming here, but this is the first time
a hunter has been deprived of his gun.
Sight of Both Eyes Gone.
The saddest scene that we have wit
nessed was a sight of little Robert
Blount, the 8-year-old son of J. B.
Blount, who recently came here from
Wayne county. An abscess, formed
by a nervous disorder, caused the loss
of one of his eyes a month ago. and
the disease attacked the other eye this
week, the ball became inflamed and
burst, rendering Robert blind. When
visited by the Gazette man Wednes
day the little fellow was rocking back
and forth in a chair humming te-tum
te-tum in a manner that did not indi
cate the realization of the sad happens
ing to him.—St. George Gazette.

CROP DISASTER IN THE WEST
A DAWSON MAN WRITES OF CON
- DITIONS OUT l‘.\'.’l‘}‘lX.\S.
Acres of Cotton Have Not Yet Been
Planted, and Much Corn Not
Plowed. Too Wet to Work.
Major A. Lewis, who, with his wife,
left a few days ago for Terrell, Texas,
where they will spend several weeks,
has written Mr. O. E. Lowe a letter
in which he tells of the very gloomy
crop prospects in that section of the
country. Mr. Lowe has furnished
The News with the following extracts
from the letter:
“A rainpour at Terrell just before
our arrival was so great that the
streets on level ground were ten to
twelves inches deep in water, and
water ran into many of the stores.
This rainfall lasted for many miles,
and was very disastrous to crops.
““The best crops I have seen were
around Dawson and Shellman. After
we left there the crop prospect was the
poorest 1 ever saw. All through Ala
bama, Louisiana and east Texas the
corn is yellow and scarcely knee high.
But little of it has been plowed, and
grass and weeds are nearly as high as
’the corn. All the cotton from Dawson
was as poor as it could possibly be.
Very little of it has been chopped out,
and but little of it has been plowed
the first time. The weeds and grass
cover the ground, and the cotton is
not higher than your finger. Much of
it has been plowed up and planted
over, and is just coming up. All
through Alabama, Louisiana and east
Texas the best land, which is the low
land, is covered with water in many}
places, and all of it, even the upland, |
is too wet to work. I saw but few
plows running after I left Alabama® 1
talked with several farmers on the
train, and they all said they never
had such poor prospects for crops be
fore, and that much of the land will
have to be thrown out for want of
labor. When we struck the prairie
land, about sixty miles east of Ter
rell, we found the corn crops better,
but not so with the cotton. But these
people here say there is yet time to
plant cotton and make a crop, but it
looks like a failure to me in all crops,
and our agricultural leaders who
have been spending so much time and
money and advice to get farmers to re
duce the acreage may as well stop writ
ing on this subject, for the good Lord
has made all necessary arrangements
to curtail the crop. You can tell the
farmers to go ahead and make all the
cotton they can and put the cotton[
they have on hand now with this
year’s erop and John Mercer and Jack
Carver can buy every surplus bale in
Georgia. Upder the most favorable
circumstances from now on the crop
will be short. With the present bad
condition of farms and lack of labor a
big crop of cotton cannot possibly be
inade.”’
