A SURE CURE FOR CROUP.
Twenty Five Years’ Constant Use
Without. Failure.
The first indication of croup is
hoarseness, and in a child subject
to that disease it may be taken as a
sure sign of the approach of an at-
tack. Following this hoarseness, is
a peculiar rough cough. If Cham¬
berlain’s Cough Remedy is given as
soon as the child becomes boaise,
or even after the croupy cough ap¬
pears, it will prevent the attack. It
is used in many thousands of homes
in this broad land and never disap¬
points the anxious mothers. We
have yet to learn of a single instance
in which it has not proved effectual.
No other preparation can show such
a record—twenty-five years’ con-
stant use without a failure. For
sale by I)r. G. H. Macon & Do.
Some folks say they have small
pox in Ocilla, but Brother Hanlon,

The disease has been in this section
at least since last April, in a light
form, killing no one, and we, as
well as a number of physicians,
could not believe that it was small
pox; hut the government expert
says it is, and that settles it. Ilow
are you getting along with it up
there, Bro. Howell?
Mr. J. Sheer, Sedalia, Mo., saved
his child’s life by One Minute Cough
Cure. Doctors had given hef up to

lung troubles. Relieves at once.

DECOYING HANDS TO FLORIDA.
A Summary Example Made of a
Young Man in Irwin Last Week.
For the past year, and especially
this season, there lias been a heavy
movement of turpentine operators
from south Georgia to Florida,where
new farms are being opened up at
the rate of half a million boxes a
month. Those Florida operators,
finding it cheaper to send to south
Georgia for colored laboiers than to
North Carolina,have representatives
all through this section, who have
been carrying off the hands by
droves.
As this worked a considerable
hardship on the operators through
this section, they being obliged to
send to North Carolina for hands to
replace those decoyed off, they have
organized for mutual protection and
with the purpose of making it warm
for anyone caught en flagrante der
liotu.
The first victim of this organiza¬
tion, or the first man to be made an
example of, was Mr. D. F. Bass, a
young man representing the Gulf
Naval Stores Company, who was
caught in the act of enticing hands
from the turpentine farm of Mr. Ben
Drew near Mystic, in Irwin county,
last Friday and placed under arrest,
lie had no sooner given bond for
this offense than he was arrested on
a similar charge at the instance of
another turpentine operator. Being
unable to furnish bail on Bhort no¬
tice he, was compelled to spend the
night in Irwinville jail, until his
employers could be communicated
with. Next morning, by wire, they
furnished him bail in the sum of
81,000 for his appearance at the next
term of Irwin county court, when
the case against him will be vigor¬
ously prosecuted, as well as against
all others caught doing likewise. —

There has been a world of talk
and two or three worlds of scare
over the breaking out in and near
Ocilla, but the scare has been caused
entirely by anticipation, for so far
no one has died with the disease.
The town and county authorities
are working together to stamp the
disease out of the whole county, and
this will be done in a few weeks.
There will be no more walking din-
tributors of the disease, and those
who have j t w jji be properly cared

Iwterestlng Prison Statistics.
To every true citizen, the statis¬
tical report of tbw state prison com¬
mission is full of food for serious
thought.
There are under the charge of the
commission 2,20] convicts, 27 less
than last year. Of these, 438 are
serving life sentances, 348 ten year
and 314 five year terms, the rest be¬
ing divided along various terms,
from one to forty years.
The ages of the prisoners range
from 11 to 73 years, two of the
former and one of the latter, The
age of 24 is the favorite one, 147
giving that figure. Of the crimes,
burglary leads, with 696; 230 are
serving terms for attempt at murder
and 201 for manslaughter.
Of the trades, laborers lead with
906 prisoneas furnished, and the
farmers a close second with 816.
Brokers, artists, contractors, tan¬
ners, tinners, policemen and journ¬
alist furnish only one each.
Of the convicts, 997 are married,
1,294 single, furnishing an eloquent
lesson on the refining influence of
the home and the married state.
Most noticeable of all is the elo¬
quent plea these dum figures set up
for a higher and better education.
Despite the fact that less than twen¬
ty-five per cent, of the people of the
state are illiterate, that illiterate per
centage furnishes one half of the in¬
mate of the state penitentiary. The
exact figures are as follows:
Prisoners that can read and write,
871; prisoners that can read only,
250; wholly illiterate, 1,080.
All convicts under fifteen, all fe¬
males and infirm are cared for on the
state’s prison farm near Milledge-
ville. The labor of the able-bodied
men is leased, under state control,
care and supervision.
The state is indebted to the prison
commission for its able handling of
the state’s convicts, as well as the
careful compilation of these statis-
tics.—Tifton Gazette.
As a cure for rheuma'ism Cham¬
berlain’s Pain Balm is gaining a
wide reputation. D. B. Johnson, of
Richmond, Ind., has been troubled
with that ailment since 1862. In
speaking of it he says: “I never
found anything that would relieve
me until I used Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm. It acts like magic with me.
My foot was swollen and paining
me verv much, but one good appli- j
cation of fain Balm relieved me.
