The Greatest A ~ Possible Cotton Crop of the best possible quality, is the aim of every enterprising cotton planter. And "it is as easy as rolling down hill" if you only use enough Viiyinia-Carolina Fertilizers Is there any reason why you cannot do just as well as Mr. James M. Swint, of Chipley, Ga., who used 600 lbs. per is^ acre of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers on his cotton crop? J$ He gathered one and a half bales of cotton per f J? acre, and there were more bolis yet to open. This is the experience of hundreds of other cotton planters. Careful preparation of your soil, and liberal use of high 0rade Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers will surely "increase ytwryields per acre.1' Numerous un prejudiced authorities tell how it is done in the new Virginia-Carolina Farmers' Year Book or Almanac, a copy of which may be secured from your fertil izer dealer, or from our nearest sales-office. ^ An interesting picture of Mr. Swint's cotton will be found in this Year Book.

Elizabeth Street (New York) Capitalist, Threatened by Phone by Black Hand, Tells His Foes to "Come Around." They Do So to Their Sorrow. A band of three Black Hand thugs recently made a daring attempt to hold up the big Italian bank of Pas quale Pati & Sons at 24' EUzabeth street, New York city. The banker and his son-in-law, Luis Gartlere, both skilled in the use of fire arms, opened such a fusillade on the robbers thc.t the leader of the gang was riddled with bullets and fell dying In front of the cashier's window. The others, pnnlc stricken, fled into the street and made good their escape. The wounded man was taken to St. Vincent's hospital and there In the presence of a priest made confession to Coroner Acritelli. "I know I am goiug to die, and I tell thf; truth," said he. But his statement was incoherent improbable and In complete. He died without naming any accomplices. Pasquale Pati, the head of the bank ing firm, owns 140 tenement houses and an equal number of vacant lots In the city, lives In a mansion at 140 "Arrest me! Lock me up! LocS me up!" On account of the enormous number of laborers who go to the bank to de posit their earnings Saturduys the po lice department always stations a num ber of Italian detectives from Petro sino's staff near by. Offlcer John O'Connell rushed to the scene and was followed by Archia Poli and half a dozen others. They arrested the banker, his son-in law and the wounded man. An Italian named Michele D'Augustino, who made a violent effort to escape, was taken Into custody as a witness, though It took four men to overpower him. The Black Hand leader was bleeding and growing weak. At the hospital he was found to have a bullet through his head, another through the hand, and a third had entered his shoulder and lodged near the lungs. In his pockets were found seventeen cartridges, but no revolver. He said ho threw the weapon on the floor before he was AS HE DROPPED HE CRIED OUT: "ARREST ME! LOCK ME UP!" Ocean parkway. Brooklyn, and has a garage filled with automobiles. He is accounted the wealthiest Italian in the country. The cupidity of the blackmailers Is believed to have been aroused by the banker's practice of keeping about a hflf a million of dollars'in gold and bills displayed in his window, on his counters and In conspicuous recepta cles in his open safe. Nowhere in the city is there such a display of such wealth, and it is considered to be one of the Sight4 of the Italian quarter. For fourteen years his wealth has at tracted the Black Hand fraternity, and his mail has become burdened with threatening letters. Once his store was set afire. Then ou Jaa. 23 a bomb was exploded in front of his bank, shattering the plate glass window where he had gold dis played. He was finally called up over the telephone and admonished to com ply with the demands or meet his fate. "Go to h?, or come around here and I'll fill you full of lead," he told them. About 3 o'clock lu the afternoon they came?three of them. It was the busi est hour of the busiest day of the week. The leader of the gang strode up to the window where the banker stood and, leveling a revolver, said in Italian: "Now, all of you stand still." Mrs. l'atl was lu the cage at the banker's left, and his son Salvatore stood at his right. Farther back in the room. In a separate cage devoted to a branch postofiice, was Mr. Fail's sou in-law, Luis Gartlere. The banker seized a revolver from his desk and fired five shots at the man, emptying the weapon. Almost simultaneously Gartlere. from the rear of the room, opened fire, and the robber fell to the floor. As he dropped he cried out: shot, but a search of the bank failed to reveal It. He gave two names. Francesco Polla tro and Giuseppe Saplo. "I don't know who my parents were," he said. "Some call me by one name and some by the other." He gave his address as 241 Elizabeth street, which is just across the iitreet from the bank. He appeared to be a laborer about forty years old. He had about $11 In his pocket. While in the face of death and plead ing with the priest to absolve him from his many sins the man told his story as follows: "This morning I went down to where the elevated roads meet?Chatham square?and bought a pistol; then I went to Pati. "'Either you get me arrested or I shoot you and whole family,' I told him: then I threw down my gun, and he shot me. 1 do not blame him. I wanted to get arrested, for I would be killed tonight anyway. I wanted to get locked up so they wouldn't kill me. They have been following me for many days. "I lost my job and could get no work. I didn't care whether I lived or died, for I die tonigiit anyway." All attempts to elicit an explanation of these mysterious statements brought only Incoherent replies, for his life was fast ebbing away. The detectives Interpret his state ment to mean that he was commanded by the real perpetrators of the outrage to rob the bank or meet death at their hands and that they were following him to see that he did it When he fell wounded he feared that he would be murdered or tortured by the society for falling In his attempt and wanted to be locked up for protection from the Black Hand's vengeance.

SKIN DISEASES I have used your S. S. S., spring and fall, for the past two years, with the result that it entirely relieved me of a form of Eczema which my doctor was unable to cure. My arms, lower limbs, and, in fact, the biggest portion of my whole body was affected, and when I first began S. S. S. the itching, etc, was worse, but I continued the remedy with the result that the dry, itching eruption en tirely disappeared. I think a great deal of your medicine, and have recommended it to others with good results. It is the best blood medicine made, and I can conscientiously recommend it for the cure of all blood and skin affections. CHAS. HORSTMAR. Wheeling, W. Va. -There is an evaporation from the body going on continually, day and night, through L_e pores and glands of the skin. This is nature's way of maintaining the proper temperature of our systems and preserving the soft ness and flexibility of the skin, and so long as the blood is free from impur ities no trouble will result. When, however, the blood from any cause becomes infected with humors and acids, these too must be expelled, and coming in contact with 'lie delicate fibres and tissues with which the skin is so abundantly suppKod they produce irritation and inflammation, and the effect is shown by Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and skin affections of various kinds. These impurities and humors get into the blood through a deranged or inactive condition of the system ; the members whose duty it is to carry off the waste and refuse matter of the body fail to properly perform their work, and this impure, fermenting matter is left in the system to be absorbed by the blood. The skin is not only affected by poisons generated within the system, but poisons from without, such as Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, Nettle Rash, etc., enter through the open pores and glands, and so thor oughly do they become rooted in the blood that they are ever present, or return at certain seasons of each year to torment the sufferer. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., cannot cure skin diseases. True, such treatment re lieves some of the itching and dis comfort, and aids in keeping the skin clean, but it does not reach the real cause, and at best can be only palli ating and soothing. A thorough cleansing of the blood is the only certain cure for skin diseases. S. S. S., a gentle acting, safe blood purilier, made entirely of vegetable ingredients of the forest and field, is the proper treatment. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation, and neutralizes the acids and humors, thoroughly cleansing and purifying the blood, and curing skin affections of every kind. It supplies to the blood the fresh, nutritive qualities necessary to sustain the skin and all other parts of the body, and rids the blood of any and all poisons. S. S. S. cures Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Poison ?ak and Ivy, Nettle Rash, and all other skin troubles, and cures them permanently by removing every trace of the cause from the blood.
