A MSI TTO THE EVERGLADES.
Mr. Lutz Tells of His Trip of In
spection to the Everglades
of Florida.
I have been asked for a write up
of my recent visit to the proper
ty of the Florida Everglades Land
Co, lying South of Lake Okeecho
bee in the Everglades of Florida,
and submit the following as the re
salt of my investigation.
My trip was made at, probably
the most unfavorable time of the
year it could have been made it
being daring the equinoxial storm.
The rain was pouring practically
the entire time I was in Florida
and the water was higher than it
had been in ten or fifteen years. I
gathered this both from what peo
ple told me and my own observa
tion.
The Company is offering a genu
ine good proposition and one that
will be worth in a few years 10 times
what they are asking for it. It will
require the completion ofthedrain
age canals that the State is having
cat to make this proposition per
fect in all ways and I am informed
from reliable and disinterested
authority that the State has at its
command, for this purporse, sever
al millions of dollars; ora sufficient
sum to accomplish the work. I
believe further it will be only a
matter of a short time when the
work will be completed sufficient
for settlement say about a year
The soil is the same as the
samples that have been exhibited
here and the growth on the land is
far ahead ot anytnincr 1 nave ever
heard claimed for it or that I im
lagined was possible. For instance,
"j saw sugar cane that was twenty
feet high and was planted last
April. Banana plants that were
also planted last April
were ten to twelve feet high
and were beginning to bloom. 1
i found also that all varieties of
citrus fruits and vegetables grow to
perlection and make enormous
vields. I met Mr. (Joodno, who
lives near the property Iwiiig oiler
ed for sale, and who set forty acres
in oranges seven years ago and
last spring sold the grove for forty
two thousands dollars.
I saw more mosquito the night
before, 1 left North Carolina than
I did the entire time I was in
Florida. As for the weather it
was far from being hot as most
people imagine in fact the tem
perature was pleasant. I enquired
particularly about the healthful
ness of the section and every one
said that they never had chills or
malaria.
A Western Compiny has a move
on foot to establish a large sugar
refinery near this property and
they are making the people who
buy this land the proposition that
they will plant their land in sugar
caue and pay them one hundred
dollars per year rent for it for three
years and then turn the land lack
to them already set In cane. They
are making this offer of course to
get a sufficient acreage planted in
cane to justify them to put up the
refinery and then to encourage the
people in the future to continue to
grow it.
I found a eood manv natives of
Florida "knocking" onr proposi
tion but upon asking them if they
had ever seen it they admitted,
without a single exception, that
they uever had. I found no one
opposed to it who had seen it.
My own opiniou is that it will
soon be the garden spot of the
United 8tates and as evidence of
this faith I have purchased more
of the land since my return.
Very truly yours.

A Case That Puzzled the Doctors.
The death of William Henry
Tompson, in West Albemarle Mon
day afternoon at 1 o'clock was the
inevitable end of condition that
baffled the physicians Mr. Thom
son had been suffering for some
time with an attack of fever, and
a few days previous to his death
there had been a formation, em
bolons in nature, in one of the
leading arteries and the physicians
were unable to locate it. The man's
lower limbs began to die and dry
gangrene set in. One limb was am
putated above the knee, after it
had become totally lifeless and be
gan to decay. When the operation
was effecced it was discovered that
the entire lower portion of the
body was infected with the poison
and death was but a matter of a
few hours The case presented
rather a study for the attending
physician, Dr. Anderson, who
was assisted by Drs. Hall and Dun
lap, who did all that was possible
for the yonng man.
South Carolinian Dies of a Rare
Disease.
Charlotte Chronicle.
Rock Hill, S. C, Oct. 3. Mr.
M. A. Johnson of the Highland
Park mill village died Friday after
noon aqd was buried here Saturday
Mr. Johnson was affected with ac
romegaly that causes an abuortnal
enlargement of everything about a
person. Mr. Johnson's entire
body was enlarged, his hands, nose
and ears being two or three sizes
larger than the average. Very
lew cases oi tne kinu nave ever
come to the attention of physicians
at large although I am reliably in
formed that it has been known to
medical science since 1886. Mr.
Johnson has been afflicted with
this disease for a number of years,
and has a son who shows some af
fection of the same disease by an
largeuient of his jaws.
Husband Spends too Much time
Kissing.
Trenton, Neb., Oct. 5 Mrs
Henrietta Met. raw insists thatthere
is a limit to all things, even to the
kisses of her husband, John E.
Mc(iraw. As a result of exceeding
the limit she has sought the di
vorce courts of Hitchcock county,
where she haj applied for a divorce
alleging that he has kissed and in
sisted upon kissing until the cruel
ty stage has been reached.
In her petition Mrs. McCraw
says that fjr six months she stood
the kissing without a murmur,
supposing that in time the practice
would be dropped to a certain ex
teut, but instead of becoming less
the kisses have liecome more fre
quent. She avers that while her
husband has been spending his
time kissing, the weeds have grown
higher than the wheat and hay, and
generally things have gone to the
bad.

Little River, District Two.
The Tteachers's Meeting was held
lastSaturdap with Oak Hill School,
District 2, Little River. It was
more than a teachers' meeting, for
a comparatively few of the several
hundred men, women and children
present attended for that purpose;
they were there to do reverence to
the dedication of their elegant new
school bulding.
Rev. Mr. Browne, of Hudson
conducted the opening exercises.
His scripture reading, prayer and
talk were appropiate and beautiful,
brought inspiration to the work of
the day.
The printed program was little
noticed. Every one seemed bubbl
ing over with joy at the great
awakening in the combined Union
and Cedar Valley districts. A
prolonged "round table" seemed
the natural order for the day
almost every body present talked
some. The only real speech of the
day was by Prof. G. M. Garrison,
Supt. Granite FallsGradedSchools.
His address was full of good ex
pressions foi patron, teacher and
child, and, without so intending,
endeared himself to the people ot
Little River.
Prof. Winkler, Princ'pal of the
school at Oak Hill, made a very
impressive talk, and one that re
minded the people that the right
man is at the helm. Where any
Deonle love and confidence an able
and good man as these of Oak Hill
do Prof. Winkler, glorious success
is sure to follow.
The model three-room school
building at Oak Hill is nearer "up
to date" than any other of the
many good school buildings of the
county. And the people who
build this elegant and commodius
house about all the people of the
two consolidated districts are joy
ful and have happv plans for the
future development of their section.
A new paragraph must be added
to state that no people on earth
know Iwtter how to look after the
wants of the "inner man." The
dinner whs excellent and Injnnti
ful. In addition to their educa
tional enthusiasm, those Methodist
and Baptist people were expecting
Kev. Mr. McGeachv. He missed
it by not being there.

Bad Shooting Affray.
Bluefield, W. Va., Oct. 4.
Mathis Beavers, deputy sheriff of
McDowell county is dead and
Crockett Lowe, fatally wounded as
the result of a shooting affair at
Susauna, this state, last Saturday
Iiad feeling has existed far some
time between the two, who were
next door neighbors- This feeling
was accentuated by several quarrels
recently lictween the women of the
two families, and culminated in
Saturday's tragedy.
The two men had been drinking,
it is said, and IiOwc had taken
Beavers home and had prevailed
upon him to give his revolver to
Mrs. Beavers. Lowe then return
ed to his saloon . Beavers secured
his revolver and followed him. The
two men met in front of Lowe's
establishment and exchanged
words. Both drew their revolvers
and tired at each other almost
simultaneously. Ik-avers was shot
through the heart while a bullet
penetrated Lowe's breast.

ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP? j
It Has Been Proved that Microbes
Cause Baldness.
Professor Unna of Hamburg.
Germany, and Dr. Sabourand, the
leading French dermatologist, dis
covered that a microbe causes bald
ness. Their theory has time and
again been amply verified through
research experiments carried on
under the observation ol eminent
scientist. This microbe lodges in
the Sebum, which is the natural
hair oil; and when permitted to
flourish it destroys the hair follicles
and in time the pores entirely close,
and the scalp gradually takes on a
shiny appearance. When this hap
pens there is no hope of the growth
of hair being revived.
Dandruff is a contagious dis
ease, which is largely due to a de
structive microbe, which when lett
to pursue its course causes itching
scalp, falling hair and baldness.
Dandruff is caused by the microbe
affecting the glands which produce
the sebaceous matter, which latter
then unnaturally dries up and
scales off.
We have a remedy which will,
we honestly believe, remove dan
druff, exterminate the microbe,pro-
mote good circulation in the scalp
ainj around the hair roots, tighten
and revitalize the hair roots and
overcome baldness, so long as there
is any life left in the hair roots.

nor Wilson is advising the indepen
dent tobacco growers ot Kentucky
to shoot the night riders to protect
their homes. Piles of letters are
stacked on his desk, the governor
says, from tobacco growers asking
him whether they Imust pool their
tobacco, or whether they will re
ceive protection from the milita if
they do not pool it.
Organize liberty leagues and kill
the roctnrnal invaders," is the
advice that the governor gives. In
a statement Governor Wilson says
that no man should pool his tobac

will pardon any man who resorts
to measures to protect his home.
