Pe-ru-na Cures and Prevents Catarrh. Any one who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well,nigh universal; al most omnipresent. Peruna is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe runa not only cures catarrh, but pre vents it. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds, and so forth. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hart man, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. MOV'— -— v > r;i -J i ' J. W, Tolleson. Bargain Sale. The object of this jale is to clean out all winter goods.

The following is the plan of perma nent organization of the Southern Cotton Association: Whereas, all the various industries of the world an- under thorough and systematic organization to protect, de velop and manage their special in terests; and, Whereas, the cotton interest of the Southern States are not organized, and by reason of not being so orga nized Miere is no uniform system for regulating productions, securing mar kets, financing the products ami generally supervising and advancing such interests; therefore, be it Resolved, 1. That there shall be one supreme organization known as the Southern Cotton Association, em bracing all of the cotton-productlng States and territories, to evolve and execute practical and efficient plans with reference to cotton production, cotton supply, cotton marketing and financing, by systamatic and carefully adapted organization of all cotton in terests and by legislation as experi ence suggested to effect and enforce the purposes of this organization. 2. The purposes of the association shall be to regulate cotton production, cotton supply and financing, and es pecially, cotton marketing, using every effort to secure broader mar kets and to limit the production to the demand at remunerative prices, and to reduce to a minimum all ex penses of handling cotton and its pro ducts from the time it leaves the field until it reaches the consumer. 3. That there shall be an organiza tion in each cotton-growing State and territory subordinate to the central organization, to be known as the State and Territorial organization. 4. That there shall be an organi zation in each county or parish pro ducing cotton of each cotton-growing State subordinate to the State or Ter ritorial organization. 5. That there shall he an organiza tion effected in each of the civil sub divisions of the county or parish sub ordinate to the county or parish orga nization, and under regulations of the county or parish organization. 6. There shall be a president, a vice-president, a secretary and a treasure of the Southern Cotton Asso ciation, and of the organization of each State, territorl, county and par ish, who shall hold office for one year, and until their successors are elected and qualified. 7. The duties of each officer shall be prescribed in the constitution and by-laws for each organization as here inafter provided. 8. The executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association shall be composed of twenty-six members, chosen by States and territories, as herein provided; no State or territory to have less than one nor more than five members. The first meeting of said associa tion shall be held at Asheville, N. C., on the 15th day of August, 1905. 9. Each State and territory asso ciation shall be composed of one member from each cotton-growing county or parish of each cotton-grow ing State and territory, which associa tion shall meet for the first time at the capitl in each cotton-growing State and territory on the 21st day of February, 1905, and shall meet an- nally, or ofterner, thereafter at such time and place as it may determine. At its first meeting, it shall imme diately organizine by electing the of ficers as herein provided, and shall at once elect the State’s or territories’s representatives to the Southern Cot ton Association, and when so elected, they shall take the place of the exe cutive committee herein provided for. All of which officers shall hold for one year and until their successors are elected and qualified. 10. That the cotton producers, mer chants, bankers, and others, of each voting precinct of each county or parish shall meet on the 11th day of February, 1905, organize by election of officers, and, after so organizing, sliail at once proceed to elect two representatives from the cotton pro ducers of that precinct to the cotmty or parish association to lie held on the 16th day of February at the parish or county seat. Each county or parish association shall on the date to be named, con vene at the county or parish seat, and qrganize by the election of its own officers and its representatives to the State organization. 11. The executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association shall be chosen by the representatives of each of the States and territories here assembeld, and that the president and vice-president of this association shall lie ex-officio members of the execu tive committee, and hold the same position therein. 12. The executive committee thus constituted, shall prepare a constitu tion and by-laws for his association, and for each of the State, territory, county and parish associations; and shall overlook such organizations and carry out the purposes above express ed, and shall fix the dates of the meet ings of the various central and sub ordinate organizations. 13. That we recommed Mr. Harvie Jordan for president and Mr. E. S. Peters for vice-president, and that the executive committee shall select a secretary and a treasurer; and pro vide for the bonding of officers for the faithful performance of duty, and that the president and vice-president, if the executive committee think necessary, may each select an assist ant secretary. 14. That the funds for the organi zation and operation of this institu tion shall be derived by initiation fees and annual dues imposed upon its membership and a charge on each bale of cotton produced by its mem bership to be assessed and collected in the manner to be provided by the constitution and by-laws. 15. That ten members shall con stitute a quorum of the executive committee, which committee shall have authority to fill vacancies In their own body and in the offices of this association. 16. That the membership of the executive committee shall be chosen by the members of the different State and territorial organizations here re presented, and presented to this body; and the membership of each State and territory on this executive committee shall be aa follows: Alabama 3 Arkansas 2 Florida : 1 Georgia .. .. 3 liouislnana 2 Mississippi 3 I North f’arolina 2 i South Carolina 2 Texas 5 j Oklahoma 1J Missouri 1 Indian Territory 11 Signed: Alabama—F.

M EPICAL EXAM IN ER Of the United Staten Treasury Recommends Pe-ru-na. Prominent Physicians Endorse Pe-ru-na. D R. LLEWELLYN JORDAN, Medi- cal Examiner of the U. S. Treasury Department, graduate of Columbia Col lege, and who served three years at West Point, has the following to say of Peruna: NEW YORK FASHIONS. Spring Millinery, Varied Shapes, Trim mings, Flowers, New Costumes. Amid scurrying snowflakes the fash- ionist ventures forth to see he spring styles, and complete satisfaction is the result, as never before in the histo ry of fashion have fabrics or colors possessed so much charm. Spring mi- linery discloses many fascinations. Hats are all shapes and sizes. Those who are fond of wide brims will find them with both flat, high or medium- high crowns, and In many new hats the brim is laid over like an envelope, at sides, back or front, admitting of very fanciful trimming. For the young matron or middle-aged person, toques and turbans abound—either of plain straw, of mohair braid or small flow ers. For the Gay Young Girl comes bewitching little three-cornered hats, or as a variety there is a very large shape in gossamer straw, with maline ruchings at the edge of the brim, and a flat crown, with a wreatn of small rose buds and forget-me-nots- finished by bows of c >lored velvet ribbon,with a very full face trimming at one side, and worn in a slanting po sition. Taken as a whole, hats are smaller. Toques and turbans of vio lets, hyacinths, rose leaves or lilacs, with an intermixture of foliage, make a very pretty showing in the shop win dows and it is already a certainty that flowers will be used to a greater extent than any other trimming. In Dress Goods and other departments as well, H. O’Neill & Co., give authoritative infor mation as to what will be fashionable. There is always a “fad” regarding some special material, and for the coming season it is mohair. Striped, plain or checked, all are in equal de mand. The highest grade is in blue and green checks, showing Tartan col ors. Another style has irregular dash es on a plain surface. Black and white checks of several sizes while ••Allow me to express my grati tude to you for the benefit derived from your wonderful remedy. One short month has brought forth a vast change and I now consider my self a well man after months of suffering. ••Fellow sufferers, Peruna will cure you. Llewellyn Jordan. Doctors have been loathe to endorse a catarrh remedy because catarrh and catarrhal diseases have puzzled the medical fraternity for many decades. The popnlar endorsements that Peruna has received at the hands of the people have induced a great many doc tors to try the remedy. More prominent physicians use and endorse Perana each year. Dr. A. Morgan, 214 Gater street, In dianapolis, Ind., writes: ••Regular physicians do not, as a rule, endorse patent medicines. I have, however, found In my practice that Peruna la a notable exception and not at all like any other medicine gen erally sold aa ‘patent medicine. ’ “In examining it I find that it is a scientifically prepared medicine, com posed of herbal remedies of high medi cinal value. “It is a specific for catarrh of the head, lungs or stomach, a fine remedy for female troubles, and invaluable to mothers and children. “After fevers or other protracted ill ness, it is one of the best tonics I know of to restore the system to normal condition and I recommend it to convalescents. “It is a high class family remedy, good for young and old.”—A. Morgan. Perana occnpies a unique position in medical science. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession to-day. Robert R. Roberts, M. D., Washing ton, D. C., writes: ••Throughmy own experience as well aa that of many of my friends and acquaintances who have been cured or relieved of catarrh by the use of Hartman’s Peruna, I can confidently recommend It to those suffering from such disorders, and have no hesitation In preierloln '!t\ to my patients. ,r -Ro ".crt!'

A remedy that cares catarrh most aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does. Peruna immediately invigorates the nerve centers which give vitality to the mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis appears. Then catarah is permanently cured. Pe-ru-na Contains No NareoUes. One reason why Perana has fonnd per manent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe runa is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquir ing a drag habit. Perana does not pro duce temporary results. It is permanent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by re moving the cause of catarrh.

From him we learned more about certain mat ters than is told in the daily letters and the daily reports of the legisla tive proceedings. the propositions some of them make to be enacted into law, but we think no one can rightfully or truthfully say that they are bribed. In newspapers and magazines and other publications we read of bribery of legislators, in other States, but it has been to the honor and good name and credit of this State that nothing of the kind has ever been alleged against our legislators, except in the Sumter News and some other papers who leave nothing undone to circulate all sorts of unfounded rumors against the management of the dispensary.

Braid, particularly the soutache The Sumter News again gives pub- pie who choose legislators. As to the specific charge made by the Sumter News, we do not believe a word of it, and we are in a position to know something about liquor drink ing amongst members of the legisla ture. Every legislature reporter will bear us out in the statement that there is a good deal less liquor drink ing among members than there was formerly, a member on the floor, qr on the streets, under the influence of liquor, being a sight of rare occur rence. This is a patent fact in Co lumbia, yet those not knowing cir cumstances and conditions might judge from publication made that the meeting of the legislature is 'one round of bacchanalian festivity and debauch, because we are told that Hub Evans is distributing liquor free ly amongst them, and has even been seen to drink with certain members. Mr. Evans is abundantly able to take care of himself in this matter, and we do not intend to enter into a contro versy with any newspaper in his de fense as to the charge. We do, how ever, resent the charge made against the legislature generally that it can be bought or influenced by a few bot tles of whiskey to vote for or against the bill. The story that any effort to so influence them has been made is false, but if it were true, then the prayer of all good citizens to God ought to be that He save South Caroli na.
