business prospects
ARE ENCOURAGING
High Price for the Fleecy Staple for
the South.
Every commercial report and every
statement of earnings or railroads,
express companies and industrial cor
porations that is issued now shows
that, the country has entered a period
which promise to become conspicu
ous by unpredecented commercial ant
industrial activities and phenomenal
prosperity, says the New Orleans
Journal. There is a daily growing
confidence in the business world. It
, is worthy of note that all captains of
. finance and industry are extremely
optimistic in their views of the fut
ure. They believe that, barring ac
cidents, the country is facing a pe
riod of record prosperity.
There is not one diverging opinion
that the business outlook is on the
whole very promising. We expect to
see an enormous volume of business
done in this country next autumn.
Money is both easy and abundant,
and the purchasing power of the rail
roads and other large corporations
has been largely increased by the nu
merous successful flotations of bonds.
I Tariff conditions will be settled at
least before the summer is over. Witl
money easy and with confidence fully
restored the country should enter up
,on the greatest period of prosperity
' it lias ever experienced.
Why should not the outlook be most!
■ encouraging? There are no disturb
i ing political or economical issues
; overhanging the business situation.
; Crop reports as an entirety are the ■
I finest. The most important crop ;
raised by the American farmer, corn, ’
which is also the most important one'
| for our railroads, as it furnishes \
\ enormous tonage, promises to be
a record-breaker. "There was never
such a corn crop prospect. The yield
will be the largest ever garnered,” '
declares President Winchell of the
Rock Island railroad, ami he is cer
tainly well posted, for the lines of his
gigantic system traverse and cross
tlie entire corn belt territory. Then
the wheat crop promises to be the
largest on record. This year's corn
< rop is estimated at 3,50(1,000,000
bushels, of a value of over $2,000,000,
000. and the wheat crop is valued at
over 83,000,000,000. The total value
of all this year's crops will amount,
to about nine billion dollars, and this
means an enormous addition to the
already great wealth of the country
—especially to that of the farmer,
who has been waxing rich in the last
| f--w years.
Not only will the American farm
er be possessed on an unpredecented
purchasing power-but the purchasing
and consuming power of the Indus
trial population of the large cities
has greatly Improved, for trade and
industry are expanding very fast and
most wages reduced during the
trade depression have been restored
to the scales that prevailed before
| the panic. Therefore, merchants and
; manufacturers will now have the op
! portunity not only to repair their for
| lunes impaired by the panic, t>ut also
i to expand to their heart's delight and
; Increase their wealth. All they have
ito do is to advertise properly so as
j to reach the city people, who have re
gained their purcheasing power, and
the country people, who are in good
■ financial condition.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1909.
THE CATTLE TICK.
Plans for Stopping its Great Ravages
in Georgia.
An Atlanta dispatch says: "Its is
estimated that the south is losing an
nually $52,000,000 on account of the
prevalence of the cattle tick," said
Assistant Commissioner of Agricul
ture R. F. Wright and of this sum
Georgia is losing about one million
dollars a year,”
This startling statement was made
before the Appropriations Committee
when a bill to appropriate $5,000 an
nually with which to push the work
of eradicating cattle tick and other
infections diseases of animals was up
for consideration.
Capt. Wright pointed out how the
animals industry was one of the back
bones of the country and that it was
being seriously impaired by the cat
tle tick which is meaning as much to
this industry as the boll weevil is to
the cotton crop. He showed where
only three counties in the state are
free from the tick and by use of the
appropriation mentioned ten coun
ties a year can be rid of this insect.
The method of eradication is the en
forcement of the fence law, keeping
ail cattle separate and greasing thor
oughly the cattle affected with tick.
Crude cotton seed oil has been found
to be one of the most successful
greases to be used, ridding the cattle
of the tick in short order.
The cattle raising industry, as well
as dairying, is on the increase in
I Georgia now since cotton seed meal;
has become the universal cattle food
throughout the south, and with the
eradication of the cattle tick in Geor-
I gia, it is believed that this state will
become one of the foremost cattle
raising states'in the union.
Captain Wright is of the opinion
that this appropriation will be se
: cured and the work of prosecuting
tick eradication will be carried for
ward successfully.

Riches and Wretchednses.
People wiio have to practice the
i scrimping economies and study ways
and means of keeping the wolf from
the door often think how delightful
and desirable must be the lot in life
i of the millionaire and his family. Thej
: forget the proverbial wisdom that
tells us that a dinner of herbs and
contentment therewith is better than
a stalled ox where discord mars the
feast. It is not necessary to have
much in order to be exuberantly hap
py. and very often those who are, in
! the world’s eye, well off in so far as
j material possessions are concerned
are mentally and spiritually poverty
stricken —their dispositions prevent
the serene and equable enjoyment of
! life's blessings; their search for
amusement, though frantic, is in vain
for time still hangs heavy on their
hands, and they do not realize that
there is no lasting pleasure in luxuri
ous idleness, for rest brings tran
quility and peace only after honest
and unremitting labor.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
No matter how long you have suf
fered, Foley’s Kidney Remedy will

Wayne, W. Va., writes: "I was a
sufferer from kidney disease, so that

and when 1 did I could not stand
straight. I took Foley's Kidney Rem
edy. One dollar bottle and part of
the second cured me entirely." It
will cure you. Sold by all druggists.

EARNINGS OF CENTRAL
SHOW BIG INCREASE. >
Income Shows Net Gain of $400,000 ,
Over That of the Previous Year. !
(
An Atlanta dispatch says notwith- ■
standing a falling off in gross ,
income of more than $200,000 for the '
fiscal year of 1909 the report of the ■
Central of Georgia railway submitted
Saturday by Pres. .1. F. Hanson at '
a special meeting of the board of di- '
rectors, shows a net gain overlast
year of approximately $400,000.
Such a splendid showing was made
because of a decrease in operating
expenses of $650,000. Not only was a
fine showing made in these two partic
ulars, but the report showed that S6O,
; OOu more had been expended on the
maintenance of the property than last
yea .
There will be no dividends paid,
■ however, on the first, second and
third income bonds of the company.
• Instead this money is set aside for
betterments to the road.
The meeting was held Saturday in i
the offices of Major Hanson in the
Candler building and was for the pur-'
pose of passing on President Hanson’
annual report to the stockholders.
The report showed a total in gross
earnings of $10,901,809.32, compared
with $11,117,025.73 for last year,
: showing a decrease for this year of
$215,216.41.
; The operating expenses for this year
were $7,862,036.32, compared with SB, •
• 518,977.62, or a decrease of $656,941.301
The increase in net. revenue is
shown as $427,373.14.
Instead of paying interest on the S
i income bonds with the increases in
earnings , $352,799.03 was expended
for betterments and for the same !
purpose an increase over last year'
lof $159,354.67 was reserved. In ad
! dition to this taxes on the Western i
Railway of Alabama stock and stock ’
: of the C. & W. C. railway were paid,
amounting to over $200,000. This
I makes the report show the road ]
' breaking even instead of the deficit
of $3,498.03 of last year.
BANK VAULTS
Precautions For the Purpose of Foil
ing the Cracksmen.
Many banks, especially those in
'■ cities, have their vaults protected by
; , an elaborate system of concealed
I wires connected to a central office not
II so far away, so that the least tam
' pering with the combination lock or
’.any attack .upon the door or walls .
will give the alarm at the central of
-1 fice, where men are waiting day and
1 night to run to the rescue. The exact I
' method and devices that are used are
' kept rather secret, for fear the bur-
■ , glars themselves might learn too much
about them, but it may be explained
1 that one part of the apparatus is an
: extremely sensitive relay located at ?
the central office. This delicate in
strument closes a local circuit which
sounds the alarm the moment there
' is the slightest disturbance of the hid
den wires at and near the vault so
that a gang of burglars could hardly
get to work with their drills and their (
I nitroglycerin before the officers of the •
i law would be upon them.
In addition to protecting vaults and
safes from the direct attacks of rob-,
bers, electricity affords another safe
guard by furnishing light which floods
| the premises with searching beams
Indeed, many banks, stores and ware
houses rely mainly upon the electric i
light without which the thickest walls
and the strongest and most compli
cated locks would be useless. They
turn it on at night and leave their
window shutters wide open so that I
i the interior may be in full view of
the policeman or watchman passing
the windows all night. This makes it
practically impossbile for lawbreakers
to work unseen.
To protect the money windows of |
banks the teller behind the window
i has a concealed push button at hand.
J oftentimes placed under the counter
where he can touch it unobserved. If
any one tries to steal any money, the
teller can call an officer instantly in
this way. The cricuit is sometimes ar
ranged to close the bank doors also
by an electrically operated mechan
ism before the thief has time to get
to them and escape.—Harper's Week
ly.
Cholera Infantum Cured.
"Something like two years ago my
baby, which was then about a year
old. was taken seriously ill with chol
era infantum, vomiting and purging
profusely, writes J. F. Dempsey of
Dempsey, Ala. I did what I could
to relieve her but did her no good,
and being very much alarmed about
her went for a physician but failed
to find one, so came back by Elder
Bros. & Carter's store and Mr. El
der recommended Chamberlain’s Col
ic Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy. I
procured a bottle of it, went home
as quickly as possible and gave the
baby a dose of the remedy. It re
lieved her in fifteen minutes and
soon cured her entirely.” For sale
