KING COTTON "Cotton is King" is an expression that one hears frequently on the street and in fact throughout this broad land where the fleecy staple is raised. Did you ever stop to consider why this expression and how virtually true is the statement. The usefulness of the plant up to a few years ago was rather limited but today .1 has been pat to so' ' many s e* t *1 ;t . a' a st'aJI sable. First taV e the 1 he < Cu . \ proauced trom it makes gunpowder and is used by our navy to protect the interests of this whole United States of America. Next the meal is good cattle and animal food and makes one of the best fertilizers that can be bought and even griddle Cakes are made of it in Texas. From linters, mattresses, quilts, pillows, felt hats, cheap clothing, blankets, rugs and various other articles of value, and every day ne cessities. The oil is made into oleomargerine, table or salid oil, cooking oils, Compound lards, soaps and even paints. Cotton seed oil is now used in place of cod liver oil for con-J sumption and constipation. The staple or fleece is mercerized into silk and cotton clothing tor world wide usages. Last but by no means least the cotton stalk is being converted in paper. What other plant that grows can or has ever been utilized for so many necessities, luxuries ] and real wants of this vast population of the present day. Senator Crosson made a hard and desperate fight for his highway bill and we are very much disappointed the measure did not go through. The bill was a good one and would have saved the state many dollars and given our people good roads. The Evening Record of Monday states the following: "There was vigorous debate in the senate this afternoon upon Senator Crosson's highway engineer bill and the author of the measure made a logical speech in favor of the improvement of the public high ways. He criticised the present methods of working the roads by means of chaingangs and said the time was ripe for a more scientific method. The opposition to the bill was upon the ground of the expense entailed upon the State." By means of messenger, telegraph and cablegram, information from darkest Africa has been received that ex-President Roosevelt will return to this country in early May, and that he will accept the public reception that will be tendered him, President Taft will be among the first to greet Col. Roosevelt and all the stories that have been told with reference to the estrangement of these distinguished men have dropped to the ground. A returned American who has been much with Col. Roosevelt in Africa says that he has it from the ex-President's own mouth that he will not be a candidate for Senator from New York, or for mayor, or for Congress with a view to election as Speaker of the House and that furthermore he will hot accept nomination for the Presidency in 1912. He has recently said that he desires nothing more than the honor of being a pri- j vate American citizen with a keen interest in public matters, upon which he expects to express his dews at all times. There are fewAmericans who will doubt the auihenticity of this last assertion. Sore Lungs and Raw Lungs Most people know the feeling, and the miserable state of ill health it indicates. All people should know that Foley's Honey and Tar, the greatest throat and lung remedy will quickly cure the soreness and. sough, and restore a normal condition. Ask for Foley's Honey and Tar.

A Safeguard to Children "Our two children of six and eight years have been since infancy subject to colds and croup. About three years ago I started to use Foley's Honey and Tar. and it has never failed to prevent and cure these troubles. It is the only medicine I can get the children to take without a row. "The above from W. C. Ornstein, Green Hay, Wis. duplicates the experience of thousands of othjer users of Foley's Honey and Tar. |Gunter's Drug Store. "Whims ol the People. An umualng bit of human nature comes to light In Paris. The management of tho underground railway until recently provided at every station a small box In an out-of-theway corner for passengers to deposit their tickets In. As n natural result of this system, only ono ticket iu ton was deposltod in tho box; tho rest fluttered about at will all over tho station. Tho authorities noted this, and changed tho small inaccessible box for a large one In ft prominent position. The surprising sequel was that Instead of ono In ten, only one In a hundred tickets found Its way into the new box. The easier It was to deposit the more careless were the passengors In disposing of them. Coflfee liaising In Arabia. The mining of Mocha coffee Is done by Arabs out in the mountainous cot ntry of Arabia, where no white man has ever been, and statisticians and crop forecasters are unknown. There are no extensive plantation out there as we know of thorn in other places, but each Arab has his own few bushes around his llttlo house, and raises enough for libown use and a llttlo for trading for other commodities. It thus becomes a difficult and slow process to collect from hundreds of people enough to load a caravan. The markets of Aden and Hodeda are several bun drod miles from where the coffee Is grown, and the Journey to these markets takes several weeks. THE BATESBURG ADVOC/ In sickness, if a certain hidden nerve goes wrong, then the organ that this nerve controls will also surely fail. It may be a Stomach nerve, or it may have given strength and support to the Heart or Kidneys It was Dr, Shoop that first pointed to this vital truth. Dr. Shoop's Restorative was not made to dose the Stomach nor to temporarily stimulate the Heart or Kidneys, That oldfashioned method is all wrong. Dr. Shoop's Restorative goes directly to these failing inside nerves. The remarkable success of this prescription demonstrates the wisdom of treating the actual cause of these failing organs. And it is indeed easy to prove. A simple five or ten clays test will surely tell, Try it once and see! Sold by Gunter's Drug Store. Electric Bitters Succeed when everything else fails. In nervous prostration and female weaknesses they are the supreme remedy, as thousands have testifed. FOR KIDNEY, LIVER AND STOMACH TROUBLE it is the bcs?. medicine ever sold over a druggist's counter.

Only nn Electric Shock. Everybody has experienced the queer little shiver that comes upon one now and then without apparent cause. It Is generally put down as "some one walking over my grave." Actually we are told It is tho effect of electricity. This great power Is constantly being generated everywhere, and when the positive and j negative parts or tnc power meet, they produco u shock 011 nny living thing. There Is n good (leal of electricity in the air, and when tho human bods Is made a meeting point the sensation is liable to be felt about the region of the spine. Sonio people are liable to shocks now and then in special parts of them, in tho ank! for Instance, or very coninionly around tho base of the brain. There is no harm in it but it shows e rather highly-strung organization. Menses of Kept Hen. An Austrian doctor has lately published the results of his observations upon the special senses of animals, especially upon tho sense of reptiles. Ho concludes that these are capable of going directly towards wutcur, which appears to attract them, evoh at long distances. Idght acts upon them independently of heat. Tholr sight Is generally good, and Is prob- , ably their most ncnto sense, yet their ! vision is limited. Crocodiles ennnot 61s tlngul h a man at distances above I , ten times their length. Fish seo for ) only short distances. The vision of km pi nts is poor, tho boa constrictor, ! for example, cun see no further than one-third of its own length. Sonio' snal.es see no further than one-; olghth of their own length. Frogs' are better endowed and see twenty times their length.
