Doath ol Or. W. F. Wright. [Clayton (Ala.) Keoord, August 18.] Dr. W. F. Wright departed thia Hf?, at his home here on Inst Satur day morning at an early hour. About a week ago he returned from Florida, where he was engaged in the con struction of a railroad. It was soon to be seen that his condition was oritical, and the physicians, despite their skill, could not withstand the certain approach of the Dread Mes senger. The deceased was a native of Habersham county, Georgia, and was in his 56tb year. About twenty years ago he moved here from Wal halla, S. C., and Clayton has been his Aie ever since. He waa a gentle man by nature, and readily estab lished himself in the esteem of all with whom he came in contact. Hie high Beuse of honor, hi? integrity, courage, and moral manhood were the distinguishing traits of his strong oharacter and compelled the admira tion and respeot of all classes. He measured to the full stature of the excellent oitizen in all those duties that his country required at his hands, while bis private life was blameless and pure. Charitable, kind and generous, be made the suf fering and the welfare of others hie personal concern, and "should all oi thone for whom he had done some deed of kindness place a flower ou his grave he would rest now beneath a wilderness of garlands." There are many who can bear witness to ?his goodness, and they, in common With all who knew h\n, feel keenly the afHiotion whioh has been visited upon them by a strange decree of a stranger Providence. Dr. Wright was married in 187C to Miss M-?/nie James, of Walhalla, S. C., and she with four children, S. J. Wright, Mrs. Allen ?radham,of Manning, S. C., M?SB Claud Wright and Winn Wright, and his brother, J. H. Wright, of Washington, D. C., and his sister, Mrs. A. L. Martin, survives him. The home circle is too sacred to be entered, but it was there that this man's life shone most beautifully. He was a model hus band and a father in all that the word imports. The tender solicitude and loving care that he always ex hibited for his aged mother-in-law proved him the worthy son. Dr. Wright was a member of Royal White Hart Lodge, and on Sunday morning a large body of his brother Masons, by all of whom he was re garded with profoundest friendship, gathered at his residence to pay him their last sad tribute of respect. Kev. lt. A. Moody read the funeral ritual of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and a beautiful service was conducted at the house. The MasonB took charge of the body and, after prayer by the minister at the grave, lowered it to rest with the usual honors. The death of such a man is no less than a calamity, and the band of sor row falls heavily not alone upon his grtaf stricken family, but upon the ctjrnmunity in which be made bis home and the people among whom he moved. But, t he life of such a man is an example to all who would be honored and respected by their asso ciates, and its record is a never end ing argument for higher thoughts, for purer deeds, for nobler actions." He rests in the "quiet city" surrounded by brothers and father, who preceded him there some years ago, but he is rt, nor will ever be, forgotten by t?c who revered and loved him. ""Tho Knightliest of a Knightly race has gone to sleep." Blessed he his memory ! Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Tho term "Dyspepsia" means a lack of pepsin in tho stomach. Indigestion is rightly used when ever ttio food is not properly digested, regardless to the causo. It is immaterial whether you cal) your ailment dyspepsia or indigesthm whoo Itydalc's Stomach Tablets are used. They aro guaranteed to euro all forms of stomach trouble.

Every brood mare on a farm that does not j produce a colt ls so much dead timber, ( and even If ehe doon her work aud earns her keep she ls not produclug the profit which muy reasonably be ex > pected from her.

If lt ls worth while to breed, a i mare once, it is Just as well worth 1 while to return her, provided that soute worthy reason doon not later develop why she should not be.

The principal causes, lu my opinion, t f?tes a well known veterinary sur geon, of horses being lome are: Cutting away the frog. Opening of the heels. Leaving the walls too high. Not shortening enough of toe. Too much shortening. Not treing particular enough as to the equal height of both sides of the wall. Not noticing the proper position of foot to be In accordance with the for ' mat lon of the leg. standing ou the salo of the horse. Too heavy nial wide shoes, requiring , too large nails to retain them and too ? many of same and thus making the horse slip and slide about, especially i upon pebbles or slippery roads. Shoes too short, especially If thick ened nt heels, the licols opening and j causing corns, shortening the horse's , stride, and making bim trip and t stumble.

Colombia, Auquel 28.-The dis pensary investigation immediately developed interest Yesterday It came out in the examination of Mr. Carter, of the State Treasury, that iu spite of the law which requires tin* profits to he reported quarterly, not a oent has been turned into the State Treasury, since last Nc /ember, of profits accruing since that time and the money whatever has come in from the State dispensary iu profits since the 10th of January. A draft for $15,000, for supplies from the Richland Distillery, was turned down, as there waB and is now only a few hundred dollars on hand. The financial statement brought dowu to the 81st of Maroh, 1905, was read. The dispensary owes over $800,000 and is still buying liquor. An apparent discrepancy of $85,000 may be accounted for later. Mr. Carter testified to the total receipts of profits of $142,752 91 for 1902, $185,602.83 for 1908, $285, 668.17 for 1904, and $08,776.77 sd far tbib year. 1 he Kind You Have Always Bougtt Indianapolis, Ind., August 25. Philip Kerigh, known as "Indiana's 700-Pound Man," is dead at his home in Stilesville. He had been ill seve ral mouths with dropsy and suffered greatly during the hot weather. For several years Kerigh was in the em ploy of a circus, where he was ad vertised BB the largest man in the world. His weight often reached 775 pounds. He waB over 7 feet high, but his bones were very small. It required two tailors to take his measurements for his elothes, as it was impossible for one man to reach around his body. It took 7 yards of double width goods to make him a suit. -,--?.?>. Symptoms of Hydrophobia.

"Now, boys," said tho schoolmas ter, during an examination in geog raphy, "what is the axis of tho earth ?" Johnny raised his hand promptly. "Well, Johnny, how would you describe it ?" "Thc nxis of ?he earth," said Johnny, proudly, S: an imaginary lino which passes from one pole to the other, and on which thc earth revolves." "Very good !" exclaimed tho teacher. "Now could you hang clothes on that line, Johnny?" "Yes, sir," waB the reply. "Indeed !" said the examiner, dis appointed ; "and what sort of clothes ?" "Imaginary clothes, sir."

In it tor the R|?v. Tbe Rev. Dr. Rainsford, in talking the other day of the iauk of inter est in church and charity worl shown by those who are regular at tendants at eburob service, told i Btory about an Irishman lately ar rived who tried to oros* Broadway while a funeral procession was pass ing. The procession was a ver long one and he finally asked tin polioeman on the corner whose fu ncral it was. "I don't know,'* said the man ii blue, "but whoever he was he mus have been a great man to have s< tine a funeral." The Irishman next asked tin street cleaner, who wat working a that point. "Not a one of me knows," said th? sweeper, "but it's a flue man he mus have been to have a funeral lik< that." Then the Irishman weut into i store and asked one of the clerk whose funeral was passing. Thi olerk didn't know, but made th? usual guess as to the prominent and virtues of the deoeased. Finally the procession oame to an end ant as it did so there was a halt for i minute. The Irishman climbed ot the step of the last carriage, stuc! his head in through the window, am inquired of the solitary occupan who the great man was who hat such a wonderful funeral. He fouut a compatriot in the carriage who re plied : "Sorra one of me knows. I'n just in it for the ride." Some Uses for Sassafras. The tea made from sassafras roott is an excellent blood purifier, whih that of the hark, not being so strong is good for colds. The dried bark placed on pantry shelves will drive away ants. The dried roots, used for smoking meat, give it a nice flavor, and make it lly-proof. When putting away dried fruit) for use in winter, place a bunch o the bark in the top of the sack am Hies or other insects will never trou ble it. For bone-felon, blood-boil or an] bad sore, a poultice made from th? soft inside bark of the root will cool ease and heal quicker than anything I have ever known to be tried. An excellent salve for burns, etc. can be made by boiling the greet bark in fresh lard till of the usua thickness, and adding a few drops o peppermint oil. Just pure sassafra oil, or a liniment composed mostly o it, is good for almost all aches o pains. A strong solution made from thi roots is good for ivy poisoning.-Lil lie Martin. ?. M.

Now that the legislative investi gating committee has brought before the public indubitable evidence of corruption with reference to the dis pensary, it is a very pertinent and proper question to ask, What next ? Rascality has been revealed, but what of the rascals ? Of course this committee had no legal power to prosecute, their duty being simply to investigate. Now, shall the matter end here? We have been inexpres sibly humiliated at this vulgar dis play of bribery, graft, and disregard of tho law by its sworn officers. Shall we rest satistied merely with the disclosure ? We trust not. To let those men go unpunished would be a travesty on justice and a reflection on the power of self-governing communi ties to protect themselves. Things will have to como to a pretty pass if such flagrant crimes shall be over looked by those whose duty it is to maintain law and order. It is not enough that the people now know that their worst suspicions with re gard to the administration of the dispensary are only too well grounded. They desire to see mat ters oarried a step further, and the mal-administrators brought to jus tice. They are quite unwilling that they should go scot-free. The situation is now in the hands of the solicitors and the grand juries. We wish to see how feeble or how strong their sense of publie duty is.
