A MODEST WOMAN.
She Gives to a Good Cause hut Wishes Her
Name Withheld.
A young lady in the city came in
our office Wednesday and subscribed
fifty cents to the India fund and the
same amount for the Galveston suf
ferers, which is the first we have re
ceived for the latter purpose. She
was so modest that she desired her
name withheld and for that reason
we do not give it, yet we would like
for every one to know who she is.
She gave only because she had a
heart that felt for another’s woes,
and not that she might gain the
praise of the public or see her name
in print.
Other places are responding to the
calls for help for those who suffer
from the terrible effects of the storm
in Texas, and our people should do
likewise, and liberally, because this
section of the country is never visit
ed by the misfortunes that befall our
fellow-beings in other parts of tills
broad lurid, anu we never know, from
experience, what it is to want for
something to eat and wear. Provi
dence has seen lit to lay waste to
these towns in Tcx.ls and lo destroy
tha property and all means of sus
tenance of the people w ho once had
plenty and lived in happy homes,
they are now homeless, and thou
sands of them without even the nec
essaries of life; many of their loved
ones have been snatched from them
in almost the twinaling of an eye,
and no pen can paint in lilting colors
the picture of sorrow, suffering and
desolation that hangs over the ruins
of Galveston and the other ill-fated
towns that lay in the pathway of
the storm.
Thousands must be supported for
weeks, and perhaps months, for the
storm and destruction of life will he
followed by a pestilence of malignant
fever, and perhaps other diseases;
and though thousands of dollars and
all kinds of supplies have been sent
to the suffering people, and are being
sent daily, nothing like the amount
necessary for their relief has been
subscribed.
“Do unto others as you would have
them do to you;” compare your con
dition with that of the wretched
creatures in Texas who are suffering
both mental and bodily agonies and
theu give liberally of whatever you
may have—either money, food or
clothing. You cannot, of course, do
much towards relieving the mental
sufferings, but you can do a great
deal towards clothing nakedness and
satisfying the pangs of hunger.
Anything you wish to give to this
worthy cause may be left at The
Ledger office and it will be forwarded
to the proper authorities without de
lay.

O. E. Wilkins, Die cash dry goods
man, has just returned Iron the
north where lie has spent more than
two weeks, buying his fall stock. It
is unnecessary to say anything in
uraise of this concern us it is well
known that they always keep in the
front rank.
What we do want to eay is in re
gard to the cash way of doing busi
ness. It is plain to every buyer of
goods, that his money goes farther in
buying goods jjhan anyone's credit
Credit is good in its way and is fine
to have, hut when you go to buy jour
goods pay the cash and you will find
that a house that sells only for cush
can give you closer prices. In other
words, give you the same goods for
less money or better goods for the
same money..

THE COTTON SITUATION.
Activity on the New York Cotton Ex
change—Neill Comes to tho Front.
1 [Dun's Review of Saturday.1
Almost a panic nas occurred at tbe
New York Exchange'during the past
week. Speculators on the short side
were buried by tbe Galveston disas
ter as deeply as the thousands who
were within closer proximity. It
was a season of activity such as never
hafore was even approximated. Ag
gregate sales were placed at a million
and a quarter bales on the busiest
day, but all days this week exceeded
all previous records. Dullness at tbe
Slock Exchange caused much out
side interest, and many persons were
buying at commission houses who
never traded in this commodity
before. Tho fact that foreign spin
dles were idle failed to receive any
attention, and no one cared whether
England was buying cotton in Japan
or not. A soul hern mill using
Egyptian cotton did not disturb the
confidence in values, and ttiere was
little thought of anything beyond se
curing some month’s contract at any
price. It became a market in which
caution was ridiculed. Lower esti
mates of tho damage in Texas failed
to check the enthusiasm. Exports
in August were the smallest in quan
tity since July, 1898, hut averaged
9.7 cents a pound, which made the
value $5,242 108, against $8,015 975
last year, at an average of 0 2 per
pound.
On September 7th, 89 320 hales had
come into siuht, against 170.875 last
year, and 112 218 in 1898 Port re
ceipts this wiek were 88 307 bales,
against 108,219 two years ago. Tun
ings by non hen spinners to Septem
ber 7th, were 9,001 hales against 10,
194 lust year, and 12.522 in 1898.
Mr. Neill has appeared with a max
imum estimate of 9,750 000 bales,
and predicts that stocks next Septem
ber will be 250 000, bales less than at
the beginning of the crop year. If
his figures are not nearer right than
they were last year this authority
will lose the great following he has
in the Liverpool market. Me esti
mates the decrease in consumption at
1,220 000 bales, which seems con
servative considering the present
price and number of mills idle.
Gold Medal Awarded,
T. W. Wood it Hons, the noted
seedsmen of Richmond, Va., have
just received notice that they have
been awarded a gold medal on their
exhibit of seeds at the Paris exhitr-

COIffMKMIS BLOOD POISON
Contagious Blood
Mrs.T.W. Lee, Mont
gomery, Ala. writes:
‘‘Several years ago I
was inoculated with
poison by a diseased
nurse, who infected
my bahy, and for six
long vears I snffeied
untold misery. My
body was eovei ed with
so:e’s and ulcers. Sev
eral physicians treate<l
me, but all to no pur
pose. The mercury and
potash they gave me
seemed to add fuel to
the awful flame which
w ;s devouring me.
Friends advised me to
try i>. S. S. 1 btg i n tak
ing it and improved
from the start, and a
complete and perfect
cure w as the result."
Poison is the most degrading and destructive of all diseases, as it vitiates and corrupts the entire system.
The first sore or ulcer is followed by little red pimples on the body, mouth and throat liecoine sore, the
glands enlarge and inflame, copper colored splotches ap])car, and hair and eyebrows fall out. These are
some of the milder symptoms; they increase in severity, finally attacking the vital organs ; the body is
person handling the same articles
, ,— v with the virus. It can l>e transmitted
from parent to child, appearing as the same disease or in a modified form — like Eczema or Scrofula.
Many an old sore or stubborn skin trouble appearing in middle life, is due and traceable to blood
poison contracted in early life. You may liave taken potash and mercury faithfully for two or three year*
and thought you were cured, but you were not, for these poisonous minerals never cure this disease ; they
drive it from the outside, but it is doing its work on the inside, and will show up again sooner or later.
You may not recognize it as the same old taint, but it is. S. S. S. has cured thousands of cases of
Contagious Blood Poison, and it will cure you. It is the only purely vegetable blood purifier known,
and the only antidote for this poison. S. S. S. cleanses the blood thoroughly of every particle of the
poison — there is never any return of the disease.
