Thursday evening Tom Jordan, who
lived in Carroll county, was in Carrollton
and drank blind tiger whisky. About 8:30
o'clock he became involved In a difficulty
with B. H. Crider, the chief marshal of

time, once through the heart. After Cri
der was shot he drew- his pistol and shot
Jordan one time and accidentally shot B.
Hood in the leg Crider and Jordan both
died In a very few minutes after they
were shot. The difficulty seems to have
been the result of an arrest made by Cri
der about a year ogo. when Jordan was
under the influence of blind tiger whisky,
and accused Crider of stealing sls from
fcim at the time Crider arrested him.

While we feel safe In saving that
the acreage of South Carolina is from ten
to fifteen per cent, larger, reports go to
show* that the early rains caused poor
stands, the planter to get behind with
his work, and the cool nights to 7 have a
detrimental effect on the plant, making
an estimated increase in the sea island
cotton crop at this time of from 5 to
10 per cent.

While a good reason cannot be advance.!
by experts for it, over a part of the sea
island cotton belt of Florida, the plant
Is looking yellow and hard, not having the
thrifty growth it should have at this
season of the yeftr. Barring certain sec
tions of F.orida where interested parties
have sold, credited or given away fine
grades of imported seed, the balance cf
the state have not been as careful as
usual as to quality, of seed planted.
Having made estimates In regard to the

years, and knowing each and every dis

cotton belt, as to the localities where the
cotton is grown, character of soil, kind of
seed planted, fertilizers used, and the con
ditions of the weather, all necessary to
aid in making a close estimate, we feel
confident in estimating the prospect of the

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS A SPECIALTY.
Chicago Supplies More to the Maimed
Than Any Other City.
From the Chicago Qhrontcle.
Although the artificial limb industry of
Chicago is restricted io eight factories and
an annual output of about 1,000 legs,
arms, hands, feet and parts thereof, it
Is as large and as important an industry
tn its field of operation as the most mam
moth of the manufacturing enterprise?.
The average price of limbs ranges from
sCfl to SIOO. The art of making artificial
limbs dates hundreds of years before the
Christian era, but modern Chicago mak
ers are splicing pieces and making whole
limbs for every civi.ized country in the
world. Only about fifty people are em
ployed by the eight factories, but most of
them are men of decided mechanical in
genuity. In addition to the most careful
adjustment of the several parts of the
Joints, according to existing devices, they
are constantly experimenting on models
for still better results. That, together
with superior workmanship. Is the reason
why Chicago-made artificial limbs are
favorites the world over.
The makers do more than fill orders—
or,, at least, some of them do. They
study the anatomy of man so as to have
a better understanding of what is required
of artificial limbs; besides, they keep
themselves well Informed of the cause of
the demand for limbs and the percentage
of one kind over another. The propor
tion is ten legs or parts of legs to one
of arms. Seventy per cent, of the whole
output comes from employes of rallwaj*
and 5 per cent, from passengers. Ten per
cent, comes from amputations necessitat
ed by "consumption of the bone,” as
they call It; 2 per cent, from the army
and navy, and 13 per cent, from miscel
laneous causes. It is a curious fact that
the elbow joint cannot be duplicated with
springs and hinges; hence an amputation
above the elbow causes almost a total
loss of the arm, but an artificial arm may
be put on so true to nature that it will
deceive completely until there Is use for
It. when the fact Is made very clear that
at best it is only ornamental. But when
the amputation is below the elbow the
arm can he spliced out. and Oven the fin
gers can be made somewhat serviceable.
Foreign orders are accompanied by n
carefully prepared plaster oast of the limb
required, together with the cause of the
amputation and such Other Information
as to measurements, etc., as the maker
would ask for were the person present.
A few weeks ago It was found that a
combination of leather and aluminium
makes a lighter and yet stronger limb,
wiih decidedly better knee, ankle and toe !
action, than other materials. However. !
some experts still hold that wood Is the |
best material under all circumstances, |
and they w-m make no other kind. The 1
business of artificial limb making la call
ed ths "proathetle Industry," and mean*
literally the proctis of adding to the hu
man body soma artificial part In place of
one that may be wanting. One who
make* such artificial parts le called a
prothetlclan or prothstlst.
Herodotus epcaki of at least one m^j,
an Alean. who procured a wooden foot
to take the place of the natural one
which he lost while escaping from a Spar
tan prison. Pliny te,H of a man, 167 B.
C., who wore an artificial hand of his
own design and construction, and it was
so well done that he could use it to wjeld
a sword In battle. There Is the retna ns
of an artificial leg in the museum of he
Royal College cf Surgeons in London
which was exhumed from a tomb at Ca
pura in 1858. The official catalogue says
"the leg is made with pieces of thin
bronze, fastened by . bronze, nails to , a
wooden core. Two iron bars, having holds
in their free ends, are attached to the
upper extremity of the brotize: a quadri
lateral pfece of Iron found.nqar the posi
tion of the fcot Is thought to have given
strength to it. The skeleton had Its waist
surrounded by a belt of sheet bronze,
edged with small rivets, probably used
to fasten a leather lining. The vases
found in the tomb place the period a*
about 300 years B. C.” Since the fif
teenth century artificial limb making has
been a regular industry, in nearly all
countries.
Not only many doctors but nearly all
the laity have a no ion that the amputa
tion of a Umb shortens the life of the
Individual, and .also the greater the quan
tity of the limb cut off tile greater the
abridgement of . life. But.sta :Utics con
tradict that theory flatly., By carefhl
comparison for half a century It is ascer
tained that cuttlnff of limbs—not all the
limbs, of course—does not shorten life>9*
all. Of the patrons of an.artificial Umb
factory less than 25 per cent, died during
a term of over 40 years, and nearly every
one of them died from accident or old
age. and not one died as the direct result
of being short a leg or arm. It is claimed
that there is no record of any one, or but
very few. at least, who died of pulmonary
or cardiac diseases who wore an arti
ficial limb, except where the disease was
contracted before the limb was amputat
ed. However, the amputation of limbs
Is not recommended by prothetlclans as a
a preventive of lung and heart troubles.
Perhaps it has never occurred to many
that the great body of wearers of artificial
limbs are poor people—that is, poor peo
ple in contradistinction to the rich. It
is very rare that a wealthy person is seen
with an artificial limb and the reason is
clear enough. It is the man who works
with his hands in the mill, on the ran*
way, tn the mine, in the gangway of the
steamboat and in the other avenues of
employment where danger to limb and
life Is always present that has to repair
himself with artificial bits of mechanlsrr)
to splice out his once unbroken body.
And so the question of the first Invest
ment and the subsequent repairs of the
delicate joints is one of no little moment
to poor people, but they are necessary
expenditures and have to be provided for.
It means time lost and a heavy drain
upon wages for a long' time. Investors
have reduced all this to the minimum and
competition obliges limb-makers to use
the best of material and do their work
well. This is particularly trye of the
ankle joint, where the strain is always
great and where the. mechanism is deli
cate and complicated.
ADVICE
For People Whose Stomachs Are
Weak and Digestion Poor.
Dr. Harlandscn, whose opinion in dis
eases is worthy of attention, says when
a man or woman comes to me complain
ing of indigestion, loss of appetite, sour
stomach, belching, sour watery-rising,
headaches, sleeplessness, lack of ambition
and a general run down nervous condi
tion I advise them to take after each meal
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
allowing the tablet to dissolve in the
mouth, and thus mingle wth the food
eat n. The result Is that the food is speed
ily digested before it has time to sour and
ferment. These table.s will digest the food
anyway wi.ether the stoa ach wants to
r not, because they contain harmless
digestive principles vegetable essences,
pepsin and Go den Seal which supply just
what the weak stomach lacks.
I have ad vis and the tablets with great
success both in curing indigestion and to
build up the tissues, increasing flesh in
thin nervous patients, whose real trouble
was dyspepsia and as soon as the*stom
ach was put to rights, they did not'know
what sickness was.
A fifty cent package of Stuart’s Dyspep
sia Tablets can be bought at any drug
s ore. and as they a e not a secret patent
medicine, they can te used as often as
desired with full assurance that they edn
lain nothing harmful in the. slightest an d
giee; on the cont ary anyone whose s om
ach is at all deranged will find great bene
fit' from the use of Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets. They will cure any form of stom
ach w akness or disease except cancer of
the stomach.

mercury or potash. For eradieat ng cld and deep seated ailments, as Cancer, Ca
tarrh, Eczema, Rheumastism, Dyspepsia, it has no equal on earth. You- want
nothing else to take. Try nothing else. Nothing else is necessary. In Gray

, ever will be, invented anything to equal GRAYBEARD in relieving and
curing Dyspepsia. It tones up your system, makes you eat and, best of all.

There is a young lady in Savannah who was an invalid from Dyspapsl*.
Doctors had treated her for years and could not reach her case. Three bot
tles cf GRAYBEARD made anew woman of her, and to-day her friends lU
say that she does not look like ihe same person.

Rheumatism. It makes new blood and thus crushes out the disease. \\*
have never known a remedy like GRAYBEARD for Rheumatism. One that

the same disease.
Hundreds are being cured of Cancer to-day by taking our GRAYBEARD.
It Cures Catarrh.
If you have CATARRH, that coughing, that spitting, that blowing tha
nose, that bad, foul breath, take GRAYBEARD. It is the grandest remedy
on earth for Catarrh. There was a little girl once who was rendered dekf
by Catarrh. GRAYBEARD cured her sound and well.
Mrs. Rhoda Dean of Ballinger, Texas, has written us that GRAYBEARD
cured her of Catarrh which had clung io her 35 years. Everything failed to
cure her, she says. She is 73 years old.
It Cures Eczema. • i

Hon. S. A. Jarrell of La.aye t , Ala., says that GRAYBEARD cured him
of Ec?ema permanently. All tire o ntments, salves, lotions that he was aba
to obtain gave him only temporary relief, but the disease broke out again
every spring until he took GRAYBEARD.

Necessary Medicine.
That family which has a bottle of GRAYBEARD on the mantel; a bo*
each of GRAYBEARD PILLS and GRAYBEARD OINTMENT in the medi
cine chesi, U fortified aga nst m st diseases that flesh is heir to. At this par
, ticular season GRAYBEARD PILLS are Indispensable. They will rtmove all
bilious attacks, and ge; the bowels in a healthy condition; but they should bo
followed up with a sort t eaiment of GRAYBEARD.
GRAYBEARD OINTMENT is necessary at this season when eruptions and
skin outbreaks are prevailing. While you may expect no permanent relief
from deep-seated blcod 'roubles, short of GRAYBEARD, there are mice*
troubles which the O.nrment will ,e,ieve speedily. It is one of the handiest
little boxes of medicine a family ever had in the house.
Letter From Tennessee.
Dear Friends: I have been suffering t wenty-three years with an ulcer on.mv
ankle. Sometimes in bed—sometimes on crutches. I used remedies of mi' owu, and
failing to make a cure, I called la diff rent physicinas. They all said "that they
could cure me. but found it to be of a st abborh nature and failed.
I saw GRAYBEARD advertised and I bought
4 bottles of It— j “ |
3 boxes of the pills— " , I
1 box of the ointment. ' t ,
It cured me well. And I have one bottle left. * '•'
I say that I am well—not near y we l —but entirely well. It has been over twebra
months and no symptoms have returned.
I hope the suffering wi.i do as 1 ave: use it, have faith in it and be cured.

Letter From Texas.
Ballinger. Tex., Jan. 29.
' I thought I would write you wrhat your wonderful Graybrard has done foi
me. I had Catarrh of the he id about 35 years, and suffered a great deal. I hv
tried many kinds of medicines ard h ve been treated by doctors, though ail ‘ol
them failed to cure me. And I heing so ol 1 and my disease so chronic. I oidn't think
there was any medicine that would cute me. But more than two years ago I had
very plain symptoms of Cancer on my nose and face and decided to try G aybeafid,
not thinking that it would cure mv C. tarrh ns well as Cancer. I bought 8 bottles
from Mr. Pierce, and less than 6 cur, and me. This has been more than two yeara aga
now and no symptoms of the o and disc- sea fyave appeared. I can pfaise Graybeamd
for what it has done for me. Per ons need never think they ere too old for Giay
beard to cure them. I am nowt 73. MRS. RHODA DEAN."
Clip this and keep It before you—because it may be valuable to you some dajr.
It is failure to purify the blool that
produces the worst forms of Rheumalsm.
It is neglect to cleanse the bloo l that
starts Cancer. All chronic diseases ergi
nate In impure blood end If neglected will
pass down from sire lo son.
It is good policy, wise and right, to <ake
care of our health. We be love strongly
the more we see of people and their vari
ous diseases, that It Is far easier to pre
vent ailments than to cure them.
Keep track of yourself.
When you ache, take -GR.AYBEARD.
When you can’t eat. take GRAYBKARD.
When you feel worn oui, take ORAY

When you are out of humor, take GRAY - -
