Florida Editor’© Dentil.
Albany Herald: The movement so long
on foot to erect a Confederate monument
in Albany has now reached the stage of
definite, concentrated fiction, and there is
every reason to hope and believe that ihe
monument will he erected during the pres- ;
ent year. The work of selecting a design
and having the rnonum* nt erected has been
entrusted to an executive committee.
Rif ten ly n Mnl Dog.
LaGrange Graphic l : Mr. Frank T. Hud
eon, of Lor.g Cane, was bitten by a mad
dog last Wednesday, the animal being a
Scotch collie belonging to Mr. Hudson.
Dr. H. R. Slack was at once called in and
succeeded in getting Mr. Hudson off to the
Pasteur Institute at Baltimore, where he
is now receiving treatment. Mr. Hudson
has many friends in LaGrange who sym
pathize with him in his misfortune and
who wish him speedy recovery.
Columhiiß Mill* Not \ffecteil.
Columbus Enquirer Sun: The Columbus
cotton mills are not directly affected by
the disturbances in China, but indirectly
they are interested in conditions In the an
cient empire. The cotton mills already in
operation do not make brown goods, the
kind exported to China, their products be
ing confined to colored goods. The new
mills of the Columbus Manufacturing Com
pany will make brown goods, however,
and thus that ont<rprise would be affected.
The brown goods trade with China now
amounts to ten or twelve millions annually
and while it is yet in its infancy, quite a
snug little sum is already derived from it.
In view’ of the disturbed conditions in Chi
na some of the brown goods mills are
thinking of changing to colored goods, and
in case this is done it will affect the Co
lumbus mills, as it wil give them more
competition.
Colored Voter* of Dodge.
Eastman Tlmes-Journal: The indica
tions now are that the colored voters of
Dodge county will have very little to do
with the local option election to be held
on the first of August. It seems they are
offended with the white people on account
of the primary elections for state and
county officers, and for that reason, do
not intend to vote in the local option elec
tion. At first, their idea seemed to spite
the white prohibitionists by voting for the
sale of whiskey, but finding that the white
prohibitionists are no more responsible
for getting up the primary election than
the white anti-prohibitionists, it §eems
that the colored voters hove concluded
to “hands off ’’ and give the local option
election the “cold shoulder’ by not voting
at all. either for or against the sale, and
to thus spite the white voters on both
aides in that election.
Whnt o V'onregian fnn Do.
Fitzgerald Citizen-Leader: “Did you
ever receive a present from a Norwegian
before? inquired X. Bredeson last Sat
urday. as he smilingly deposited a large
basket of big. luscious Elhertn peaches
grown on his tract out on Prospect Drive,
just west of the H. C. Smith place. Mr.
Bredeson’s trees are just coming into bear
ing and as a consequence he has no great
quantity, though the quality is excellent
and the promise of future yields flatter
ing. Mr Bredeson has experimented ex
tensively the past two seasons in growing
onions and had splendid success. He now
produces as fine onion sets as can be had
and will be able to supply a large port of
the demands for them in this community
the coming season. Mr. Bredeson is highly
pleaseed with his colony home and ex
pressed his surprise that more of his na
tionality did not exchange the bleak cli
mate of the Dakotas and other North
western states for the superior advanta
ges of this favored section.

Through the action of the Citizens’
Committee of Pensacola another canvass

Where Criminal* ll!de.
Gainesville Sun: The turpentine camps
of Florida are the hiding places of many
criminals from other states. Many of the
crimes committed in Alachua and other
counties can be traced to those who have
bad to flee from other states. They should
be made to know that their presence here
will* not bo tolerated. Their prompt ar
rest when discovered would soon rid the
ctate of their presence.
Dentil of n Xonogennrinn.
Mrs. Mary Burnett, the oldest person in
Hillsboro county, is dead. The death oc
curred last month, but as she lived in a
remote section of the county the news has
Just reached Tampa. She was 04 years
old. At the time of her death she was
enjoying the full use of her faculties, her
mind being clear and bright, her eyes good

Death of an Editor.
Carsner Booker, aged 53 years and act
ing editor of the Dunnellon Citizen, died
at his brother’s home, several miles south
of Ocala, of a congestive chill. He came
up from Dunnellon Tuesday, suffering
frorrv malaria, but he was not deemed se
| riously ill. Deceased went to Ocala eome
seven years ago from Nebraska, where,
for a number of years, he had successful
ly conducted a paper of his own. For sev
eral yearn he was employed on the New
Capitol, under Col. T. W. Harris, then
with the News, and after it ceased to ex
ist. with the Star, until C. Y. Miller of the
Dunnellon Citizen secured his services. He
was liked by all who knew him. He had
no family.
Leesburg;’© Enterprise*.
Leesburg Commercial: The factories of
the Leesburg Cooperage Company in this
place are turning out a very large num
ber of fine barrels each week. A large
force of coopers Is employed. Some of
these have th#ir families with them. All
of them are money-makers, and add no
small amount to he current revenue of
the tow’n each month. Other factories of
the town are doing well, and no complaint
for lack of business is heard from any of
them. The wagon factory and machine
shop of McLean Bros, is increasing Its
business. It alo employs n good force
of hands. The moss factory is doing well
under the direction of Mr. A. S. Hard
man, and the icc factory runs night and
day.
To FiKlit Orange Pest*.
An orange growers’ convention has been
called to meet at Clearwater on Thurs
day. Ir is for the purpose of forming an
association in the county of Hillsboro and
making determined and organized fight
on the posts which are now appearing in
certain sections. These insects and ail
ments are doing some damage, and it is
feared that if something is not <lone the
results will be disastrous. It has been
deemed wise to call this convention so
that all growers can get together and state
their experience. Some of the leading
residents of the w’est coast have joined
in signing the call, and there is every in
dication that there will be n large num
ber present. The scales have appeared on
the west coast more than in any other
section of the county, hut it is feared
that they will be in every grove nfter a
time, unless some organized method Is
taken up whereby they may be stamped
out effectually.
INBORN CRUELTY OF CHINESE.
Frightful Tortured Legally Inflicted

Writing about three weeks ago in the

the natural cruelty of the Chinese. He

be able to infib t at this very moment on
the foreigners established in her terri

have the passion for isolation, and it is
carried evrn to fanaticism.

The fact that Dr. Hathaway has been established in the
Sourh longer than any other specialist demonstrates a
number of very important things. Other specialists have
practiced here, some for a few months and some even for
a year or two. but Dr. Hatnaway ie the only one of all
the number who has remained, and hia p-actice has been
. continuous for over 20 years,
r The reasons must be plain to all:
J He has made no promises which he could not fulfill;
j He has fulfilled every promise he has made;
He has cured more cases than all other specialists in
r Newton Halhawav M.D hls combined
i He has cured more cases of I-oss of Manly Vigor;
He has cured more cases of Varicocele;
He has cured more cases of Strlctu e;
He has cured more cases of Specific Blood Poisoning, in all different stages;
He has cured more cases of all manner of Chronic Diseases.
He has cured more cases of all manner of Urinary and Sexual complaints;
And he has cured these cases to stay cured
These are the reasons why Dr. Hathaway has continued with a corstnn-ly
graving practice while others have been forced to leave the field.
He depends upon his cured patients to tell others who are like fflicted of what
he has done and what he can do.
Dr. Hathaway wonts all sufferers from Chronic Diseases to call at his office or
write him. Unless they are convinced after an Interview, that he can cure them,
they are under no obligations to take treatment. Consultation at hls office or by
mail Is free. He will also send free, postpaid, in plain wrapper, the new edition
of his 64-page book entitled "Manliness, Vigor. Health.”

INCOMES OF PROFESSION \L MF\.
They Are Not ns large nn the Mn-
Jorlty of BVnple Suppose.
From the Medical Record.
The law is probably the most profitable
of the so-called professions. There are
more and larger prizes to he gained by an
acute and eloquent disciple of the legal
art than are open to the medical man or
the ministers. In this country and Great
Britain the incomes of the foremost advo
cates and of attorneys In lucrative prac
tice for the most part overshadow the
yearly earnings of the best-known phy
sicians and surgeons, and to a still greater
extent those of our spiritual advisers. Oc
casionally one hears of very large for
tunes being left by prominent doctors—Sir
William Gull. Pir Andrew Clarke. Dr. Pep
per and Sir William Jenner are cases in
point, but these are exceptions, and sums
accumulated by medical men cannot be
compared either in number or magnitude
to the colossal amounts amassed by mem
bers of the legal fraterniiy. When, how
ever. the average incomes of these three
classes of the community are considered
their relative position in Great Britain ind
the United States will be found to differ.
Viewed thus, in the United Kingdom the
clergyman is at the top of the list, the
lawyer second and tho doctor last, while
here the lawyer or doctor gets a larger

minister has to content with the crumbs.
The average Income of a physician in
large cities on this continent may be plac
ed at $2,000, in the smaller towns nt 81,500
and in the rural districts at $1,200. Two or
three New York physicians are said to
make.over slou,ooo a year, five or six about
850.000. byt the average income, although
higher than in Chicago or in other Amer
ican large cities, does not greatly exceed
$2,00) yearly. The minister averages in
the city perhaps $1,200 and in the country
certainly not more than $8(0 yearly.
As regards living expenses, both the
lawyer and minister have an advantage
over their professional brother. In New
York, for example, office accommodations
suitable to a physician is verv dear in a
good neighborhood, costing not less than
$7O or $6O a month, which, with board and
lodging and other necesasry disbutse
ments, will represent a sum of si2o
monthly, a sufficiently weighty burden for
a struggling youthful practitioner to bear.
The young minister has no rent-to pay,
whi'e the legal neophyte can regulate ins
outlay in this respect aco.ding to the
length of his purse.
Nevertheless, the lot of the medical be
ginner, compared with that of a pastor ■>
n like situation, has its compensations' Ho
is at least more or less independent. The
minister; on the contrary, is, as a rule, oer
mitted to exercise his own will to a lim
ited degree, and often is doomed to go
through a lifetime of toil, subservient to
the caprices of censorious elders and dea
cons. An excellent description of the
trials of an American country minister,
and the various unpleasantnesses with
which he has to contend at tile hands of
his congregation, is given in “The Damna
tion of Theron Ware,” the best novel
written by the late Harold Frederic.
When al! is said that ran be said, the
first few years of medical practice are
years of arduous effort, full of disillusion
ment and disappointment. The lute sir
Andrew Clarke told Dr. Osier: "From the
vantage ground of more than forty years
of hard work I can say that 1 have striven
ten years for bread, ten years for bread
and butter and twenty years for cake an 1
ale." The truth undoubtedly is, and es
pecially n the large centers of population
in America, that the opportunities for a
p.ij sician to obtain adequate compensa
tion for his services are yearly becoming
less.
This is not due to any deterioration in
the quality of the present-day practitioner
or an evidence i t falling olf In modi, u or
surgical skill. rite fact is irrefutable
that the medical profession in this and in
all civilized countries stands on a t'pher
plane. In the matter of training and knowl
edge than ever before. The reason for the
decrease in tnedlral incomes is indubitably
almost Wholly owlrg to the more eager
competition tir'oi g rlguljr practittoif rs,
to hospital and dispensary abuse, and to
the lamentable increase is quackery. The
supply of modi -a! men is greater than the
demand; the market is flooded, and the
most potent remedy we can suggest for
this evil is that, as has been many times
advised in the Medical Record, a uniform
high standard of medical education should
be established in every state.
Sngnr in the Human System,
From the Cathotic World.
Sugar is a substance that dissolves easi
ly and in considerable quantity In water.
3\ hen in solution it easily passes through
an animal membrance by osmosis, and so
the question of its absorption seemed sim
ple enough. The disease diabetes showed,
however, that sugar might exist very
plentifully in the blood, and yet the nutri
tion of an individual suffer very much
for the lark of it. Something else beside
Its mere presence in the system was ne
cessary to secure its consumption by the
tissues. Bernard thought that the liver
was active in the consumption of sugar,
and that disease of this organ caused dia
betes. He therefore secured some of the
htood going to the liver of a living ani
mal and some of the blood that was Just
leaving It To his surprise, the blood leav
ing the liver contained more sugar than
ihat entering it. After assuring himself
that his observations were correct, be
tried his experiments in different ways.
He found that even In the blood leaving
the liver of an animal that hail been fed
only on substances containing no sugar,
sugar could be demonstrated. Even In ti
farting animal the liver Itself and the
blood leaving it showed the presence of
a form of sugar. The only possible con
clusion from this was that the liver was
capable of manufacturing this form of
sugar out of non-sugar-contalnlng mater
ial. or even from the blood of a fasting

This was the first time in physiology
that the Idea of an internal secretion was
advanced. Glands within the body that
gave off a secretion always possessed n
duet by which ’his secretion was conduct
ed to where it wns to produce its effect.
The idea that glands exls4 which poured
their secretion directly into the blood
stream had not occurred.

Morning News Office, July 23.
The naval stores market is at present
the center of local interest, due to the
fact that prices are yielding at a rapid
rate, with the prospect of still further de
clines. unless the downward tendency is
shortly checked. Spirits turpentine open
ed steady to-day at 43c, and closed dull
and unchanged. It was understood that
after the closing transactions were made
on a basis of 42V>e. The rosin market
went off 5c on G and below, closing steady
at the decline.
There was no change in the cotton mar
ket. The fact that spot prices in New
Orleans are higher than in Savannah at
present, and also higher there than at
New York, is attracting some cotton to
that market, which is said to be used
in covering contracts. The official busi
ness reported was light. It is not under
stood that exporters are yet in position
to meet the prices asked by holders of
interior cotton, and for that reason f. o.
b. business is also light. The wholesale
markets were steady, with no changes of
consequence reported. The following re
sume of the different markets will show
the tone and quotations at the cloee to
day:
COTTON.
The cotton market closed quiet and un
changed to-day. The receipts were fair.
There was not much local business doing,
the official report at the Cotton Exchange
showing transactions of 11 bales. There
were shipments to New Orleans of 600
bales, nnd it is understood further ship
ments -will be reported at the exchange of
cotton shipped to-day. which will run the
total for New Orleans to over 1.000 bales.
The price of basis middling at Savannah
is rents, and at New Orleans 10 3-16
cents, which accounts to some extent for
the shipments to that market. Cotton
has been shipped to New Orleans in pre
ference to New York for a short time
past.

COTTON FITCHES.
Tlie Market Closes Quiet lO Points
!\et Higher to 3 Lower.
New York, July 23.—The cotton market
opened with prices 2 to 18 points higher,
this being an indifferent response to
strong early cables frotp Liverpool. The
July and August contracts alone served an
advance of more than 6 points. Soon aft
er the opening well nigh perfect crop ac
counts from every part of the South made
their presence felt, as did excellent weath
er accounts. Predictions for the best week
ly crop report from Washington received
this year, to-tnorrow, added to the timid
ity of holders, who finally turned about
and unloaded a considerable portion of
their siaple. Light local and Southern
hear speculation increased the heaviness
of the market near midday. Not only did
the new crop deliveries make a full reac
tion, but sank several points below Sat
urday's closing before the selling move
ment subsided. Nearly every broker In
tile pit had selling orders, though these
for the most part were scaled upward on
the theory that the firmness in Liverpool
would cause our market to advance fully
12 to 20 points. The bud spurt in the Eng
lish market was charged up to New Or
leans buying orders which, in turn, stam
peded foreign shorts and stimulated bull
speculation. Late oiteratlons on 'Change
were of a local, evening-up character and
small tit that. Prices followed a narrow
rut throughout. The close was quiet with
prices 10 net higher to 3 lower.

COTTON LETTERS.
New York. July 23.—Murphy & Cos. eay:
Cotton since noon has ruled quiee and
featureless, with moderate fluctuations.
Light rains were reported in. Texas yes
terday and to-day, which are beneficial.
There is an absence of speculation here,
and with continued favorable outlook for
the crop, prices for new crops are ex
pected to ease off eventually. Elison &
Co.’s (of Liverpool) monthly circular, dat
ed 11th instant, says: “The high prices
are attracting supplies from the'eonti
nent and from Japan.”
New York, July 23.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say: An excited market in Liverpool
followed our advance of Saturday. That
market closed before ours opened, and
then It was found there were no buying
orders of any moment from either Eu
rope or the South. Crop accounts re
ceived in the mail or by telegraph showed
a remarkable Improvement in the crop
conditions during the past three weeks
and were enough to dampen any disposi
tion lo buy even with unexpectedly good
advices from Europe. The short time
movement in Lancashire is increasing and
the advices from Manchester report that
it is likely to be continued in both mar
kets. The situation is such a strange
one to all connected with the trade that
the sudden illustrations show how unde
cided as to fhe future the entire trade
may find themselves. A good govern
ment report is expected to-morrow.
DRY GOODS.
New York. Jifty 23.—The chief feature
of the market to-day has been the re
vision of prices in bleached cottons, lead
ing lines being reduced per yard. In
brown goods the market continues dull
and unchanged. Coarse colored cottons
without special feature. Prints slow
throughout. Print cloths quiet but firm.
American Woolen Company will open all
its line on Monday next.
NAVAL STORES.
Monday, July 23.
SPIRIT3 TURPENTINE—The market
for turpentine was apparently very weak
to-day, and the indications are it will go
off. It was understood after the closing to
day that the sales of a considerable lot
were made on a basis of 42Vfc cents, though
it was not learned whether this was suffi
cient to make the market. The opening at
the Board of Trade was steady at 43, with
sales of 200 casks, and dull end unchanged
at the closing, with no further sales re
ported. The day’s receipts were 1,009, sales
200, and the export 135.
ROSlNS—Rosins opened steady to-day
at a decline of 5 cents on G and C and be
low. The closing was steady with further
declines of 5 cents on D, E and F. It was
not understood that any business was done
at prices below the closing. The day’s re
ceipts were 3.018, sale© 2,437, and the ex
ports 4,384. The following were the quota

| How fcaj'M Gored
lior whsn everything else
failed, k gratetu! friend
always.
Below we publish a
letter from a great s/uf
j ferer from nervousness,
l and a general broken
j down condition of the
system. The cure is not
ian unusual one for
| Graybeard. Many such
[letters aae received ev
■ ery week.
Here is the letter:
Allison, N./CX,
July 2. WO.
| Respcss Drug Company,
Savannah, Ga.:
| Dear Sirs:
I writ© to tell you how grateful
I I am that Graybeard wag. ioventbd.
: Nearly all my life I have been a
j great sufflerer from nerrooaness. I
j could not sleep. I at© very little. I
i lost flesh all the time. My complex
ton got sallow. Nothing pleaded
I me. Ouc family doctor dad all he
I could for me. He worked patient-
I ly, but every body noticed that I
| kept going down bill. People
j thought I had consumption. One
day I happened to pick up a little
' booklet with the picture of a candle
!on it. It attracted my a/ttention.
I read it. It was of deep interest
|to me. The next day I bought a
bottle of Graybeard. I had not
j taken the full bottle before I felt
! better. I have taken six bottles,
i and have just bought three more.
I have gained flesh. I haven’t felt
j better since I was a child. EJvery
j thing I eat I digest. And I have
a splendid appetite. I can laugh at
amusing things. I imagine I fieri
like other people. Everybody Is so
glad to see me eo vigorous looking
and so healthy. I would not take
SI,OOO for the benefit I have received
from Graybeard. It is a wonderful
remedy, and I fully believe it saved
my life. I can’t thank you enough.
Yours truly,
MIS© NANNIE JONES.
We claim exactly all
this for Graybeard. It’s
no new thing to us. It has
cured many just such
.ailments. It is purely a
vegetable compound,
and for building up a
broken down, nervous,
system it is truly won
derful. For eradicat
ing old and deep seabed
diseases, as catarrh,
eczema, dyspepsia, can
cer, rheumatism, it has
no equal on earth. It is
free of mercury or pot
ash, and begins to build
up the sick man from
the first.
