HEH* CONVICTS TO CLEAR UP. Cuthbert Bankers, Lawyers and Bus iness Men Work Hard. Cuthbert, Ga., March ll.-Torna do-swept Cuthbert is rallying from the effects of the disaster, which left many of its people without food and shelter, though little outside help has ap yet been received. ' The county's convicts are assisting in the work 6f clearing up the streets, while lawyers, bankers and other business men are working side by side with negro carpenters and brick-layers. Hundreds of visitors from nearby towns are in the city and are work ing manfully with the people trying to clear away the rubbish and pre pare the ground for temporary structures to house the homeless peo ple. Many Hiiildings Destroyed. It is said that by actual count 28'J frame buildings went down and 22 brick stores were razed by the aw ful wind. Not enough stores are lefi in town to shelter the houseless mer chants, and their stocks are being guarded In open lots by extra police men while temporary shelters are be ing erected for them. As the time passes, the property loss seems to Increase rather than decrease, and now it Is said that $500,000 will hardly cover the loss. The Confederate monument and every tree in Central Park aro blown down, the monument being broken in pieces. The winds swept the Western cem etery and razed nearly every large monument there. So far, six negroes are dead, and it ls thought that several more will die. About 25 negroes are badly hurt. Of the white people J. H. Far mer ls In a dying condition. Two Women Injured. Mr. Farmer's residence was blown completely away, and he was struck by (lying timbers, his leg broken and serious internal injuries received. Miss Alice Price and Mrs. Rosa McDuflle were badly hurt In Mrs. McDuffle's house, which was blown away. They will recover. Tuesday night the Methodist church was packed when the storm struck the town. The church reeled under the shock and the lights went out. A few minutes later word reached the church that the town was wreck ed. Richardson is Named. Washington, March ll.-J. S. Richardson, of South Carolina, chief clerk of the Internal revenue bureau, has been appointed to be revenue agent at Philadelphia, and he will be succeeded by F. J. Starek, now In Commissioner Capers' office. FACTS FROM FAIR PLAY. Hoping for Better Roads-New Pas tor Called-Locals. Fair Play, March 8.-Special: Our farmers are very Impatient to get to work on their farms, and will rap idly push their plows as soon as'dry enough. Not much guano has been handled as yet. Reckon when our Supervisor comes around and In spects some of our roads and gets them in good order, .much hauling will be don?. Bad roads are a poor advertisement for any community. Very interesting services were con ducted by Rev. Mr. Peabody, of Georgia, at the Presbyterian church last Sabbath. Mr. Peabody's theme was "Peter's denial of Christ, and the results arising therefrom,"which was ably delivered. We hope to hear that he will accept the call which has been extended him to supply this church on the first Sab bath in each month. Several of our citizens are attend ing court this week at Walhalla. The Baracca Class will meet next Friday evening at 8 o'clock at the home OL Mrs. W. L. Dobbs. We are pleased to report an increase from 15 to 26 members since its organiza tion two weeks ago, and the pros pects are encouraging for a still lar ger Increase. May the good work of bringing our young men and boys Into tho fold stimulate us all to want to do more In the Master's vineyard, fer lt Is they who will soon be called upon to take the places of others gone before. The Phllathean Class, taught by Miss Anna Marett, will meet at the church next Saturday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock. All members are urg ed to attend. T. B. W. A Religious Author's Statement. . Rev. Jos. H. Fesperman, Salisbury, N. C., who ls the author of several books, writes: "For several years I was afflicted with kidney trouble and last winter I was suddenly stricken with a severe pain In my kidneys and was confined to bed eight day^,unable to get up without assistance. My urine contained si thick white sedi ment and I passed same frequently day and night. I commenced tnking Foley's Kidney Remedy, and the pain gradually abated and finally ceased and my urine became normal. I cheerfully recommend Foley's Kid ney Remedy." J. W.

So much has been Bald in the vari ous newspapers of the country In re gard to the Williamson plan ot rais ing corn that the News and Courier correspondent asked O. P. Hill to tell how he raised 121 bushels of corn to one acre,?and how much it cost him. 1 give it in Mr. Hill's own woitis: Lari spring I selected a piece of gray upland with red clay subsoil, on which I had made 107 bushels of corn per acre in 1907. On this I put seven -horse loads ot stable manure to the acre; I then turned land with a 2-horse plough, cress breaking lt with a 1-horse plough. Aftor breaking it the second time, I laid off the rows six feet wide. Then I bedded out with turn plough, leav ing a five-inch balk. When ready to plant I broke out balk with scooter, and followed in the bottom of this furrow with a Dixie plough with the wing taken off. Then I ridged on this furrow with a half-shovel, still going deeper. I planted on this ridge, dropping one grain in a place every four or five Inches. This was April 13. When corn was small I ran around lt with harrow. Then I ran a fur row In the center of the middle, which was a high bed, and bedded to the furrow with a turn plough, throwing the dirt from the corn.

Evans Advocates the "Breath of neath." Atlanta, Ga., March 12.-Gen. C. A. Evans, commander-in-chief of the Pulled Confederate Veterans and chairman of the prison commission Georgia, advocates chloroforming criminals who have received the death sentence. "I believe the law has no right to do more than take a man'b life," said Gen. Evans. "No living man should witness it. The death cell should be airtight and tho man who ls to die should Inhale the breath of death Itr.elf and should die painlessly and alone. ?Any other death punishment Is nothing short of barbarous. Even this is bad enough." What Do They Cure? The abovo question is often asked con cerning Dr. Pierce's two leading medi cines, "Golden Medical Discovery" and "Favorite Prescription." Tho answer is that "Golden Medical Discovery " is a most potent alterative or blood-purlfie.r, and tonic or invigorator and acts especially favorably in a cura tivo way upon all tho mucous lining sur faces, as of tho nasal passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and bladdcor-curlng a largo percent, of catar rhal cake* whether <be disease affects thc nasal pavjagos, tho Trrsoat, larynx, bron chia, stomachx?as cata?rk?l dyspepsia), bowels,, (as mu^mt?>4??riyJ?f?vV bladder, uterus or other pelvic orgiTrr?^ Even In tbjLelironlc or V?auaMiia singes QTITWJSI M?BHS5S Hula often, successful in a ft oe tr lng tonic and nervino. For weak worn out, over-worked womon-no matter what has caused tue break-down, "Favorito Prescription "will be found BO??t effective In building up tho strength, regulating tho womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing about a healthy, vigorous condition of the whole system. A book of particulars wraps oach bottle giving tho formulai of both medicines and quoting what scores of eminent med ical authors, whoso works aro consulted by physicians of all the schools of practico as guides In prescribing, say of each in gredient entering Into these medicines. Tho words of praise bestowed ^on tho sovoral Ingredients entering Into Doctor Pierce's medicines by such writers should have moro wolght than any amount of non - professional testimonials, because auch men aro writing for tito guidance of their medical brethren and know whereof thoy speak. Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non secret, and contain no harmful habit forming drugs, being composed of glycerlc extracts of tue roots of native, American medicinal forest plants. They are both sold by dealers in medicine. Yon can't afford lo accept as a substitute for ono of these medicines of known composition, any secret nostrum.

I then thinned the corn to six inches In the drill. I did not work corn again until the growth had been so retarded, and the stalk so hard that it did not grow too large. Experience and judgment are required to know just how much the stalk should be stunted. When I waa convinced that my corn had been sufTlvcleutly humili ated, I began to make the ear. I ran around with 10-lnch sweep, when corn was about 12 inches high. In a few days I put f>00 pounds of mixed fertilizers to the acre, con taining cotton seed meal, 10 per cent, phosphoric acid and kainit in equal parts. This was the first fer tilizer used at all. I put this down in the old sweep furrow, on both Bides of every other middle, and covered by breaking out with turn plough. One week lated I treated the other middle the same way. In a few days I sided corn in first mid dle with 16-inch sweep and put 150 pounds nitrate of soda in this fur row, covered one furrow with turn idough; sowed pens broadcast in the middle at the rate of one and one half bushels per acre, finished break ing out with turn plough. In a few days sided corn with the other mid dle with same sweep; sowed peas and broke out as before. This laid by my corn with good bed and plenty of dirt around the stalk. This was July 7 when corn was just bunching for tassel. This fall I gathered 121 bushels per acre. Expense on corn was $2G, leaving a clear gain of $05, 1 not Including fodder and peas. ;ss in horses is due to neglect, owed to go lame.

MADE EXPENSIVE MISTAKE. Leaving "D" Off Word "Wired" in a Telegram Costs Postal $400. The Postal Telegraph Company at Columbia to-day lost a suit for $100. The case is interesting. The firm of M. C. Heath & Co. sent a telegram that they had wired an order for 5 00 bales ol' cotton. The telegram was received without the letter "D" on the word "wired," and an entirely different meaning WS8 convoyed with out the "D" on wire. The telegram was received wiro .?nd so was an or der for the 500 bales. It was sent "wired." The one reported what bad been done and the mistake gave an order. M. C. Heath & Co. showed an absolute and bona fide purchase of the actual cotton and the error involved a cost of $100 to M. C. Heath & Co. The jury brought In a verdict for the amount sued for.
