John Henry Blain of Corpus Christi has
been discharged' from all debts and claims

Parasites Cause AU Hair Trouble.
Nine-tenths of the diseases of the scalp
and hair are caused by parasite germs.
The importance of this discovery by Pro-
fessor Unna of the Charity Hospital, Ham-
burg, Germany, can not be overestimated.
It expl'aing; why ordinary hair preparations,
even of the most expensive character fail
to cure dandruff; because they do not and
they cannot kill the dandruff geirni. The
only hair preparation in the world that
positively destroys the dandruff parasites
that burrow up the Scalp into scales called
scurf or dandruff, is Newbro-’s Herpicide.
In addition to its destroying the dandruff
germ Herpicide is also a delightful hair
dressing, making the hair glossy and soft
as silk.

greatly from impure blood, causing me to feel
debilitated and unfit for work, had no appetite
and could get no relief from doctors or medi-

to try S. S. S. I soon noticed a change in my

HERVEY & MERCHANT.
Maj. Frank M. Spencer was born in
Montgomery county, Maryland, 16 miles
from the city of Washington, on Feb. 1,
1835. His father was a well-to-do farmer.
Had he lived in Virginia he would have
been a planter. Maj. Spencer spent his
boyhood days alternating between farm
work and going to- school until his 14th
year, when he moved to Washington and
accepted a position in the general land
office in that city. He had ambitions for
a legal career from his earliest recollec-
tions. Shortly after he began life in Wash-
ington he was the moving spirit in the for-
mation of a law class among the depart-
ment clerks and others. This class was
first presided over by Hon. Thomas A.,
Hendricks, then commissioner of the gen-
eral land office, and afterwards vice presi-
dent of the United States. Judge Phillips
of Mobile, Ala., was also at one time
instructor of this class, as was also E. M.
Stanton, afterwards secretary of war un-
der President Lincoln.
“My life has been without incident wor-
thy. of mention.”! said Maj. Spencer this
morning. “I have followed the even tenor
of life’s way in a small circle and have
spent my days without having them
marred by rancorous' hate nor vainglorious
and unattained ambition. At the outbreak
of the .war I left Washington and cast
my fortunes with

sentiments and patriotic obligations was

a private in Crum’s batallion, • Texas

made a portion of the Fifteenth Texas
Cavalry, and was attached to Ector’s bri-
gade. I participated in nearly all the fight-

“After the . war I
settled in Galveston
paroled, but the troops I was; serving with
disbanded at Cuba, Ala. I almost at once
formed a law partnership after reaching
Galveston with the late William H. Stew-
art under the firm name of Spencer &
Stewart. This partnership continued until
Judge (Stewart’s elevation to the bench in
1S76. Tn the meantime I was elected dis-
trict attorney in 1872 and continued in that
office for 14 years. No;, I do not care to
dwell upon the important cases I was en-
gaged in during the time I was criminal
district attorney of Galveston and Harris
counties. I performed my duty as I saw
it, but it was never a pleasure to me.
From the time I gave, up the ■criminal
district attorneyship until about 1889 I prac-
ticed law alone. In about that year I
formed a law partnership with W. A. Kin-
caid, which continued until Judge Kincaid
was appointed to a judgeship
ippines, some three years ago.
ly after the dissolution of
Spencer & Kincaid I formed
law partnership with Mr. Scott, under the
firm name of Spencer & Scott. That is
my whole life—is there anything sensation-
al in it?”
Maj. Spencer was married in 1866 in Ala-
bama, just prior to his moving to Texas.
Ten children were the fruits of the mar-
riage, seven of whom are now living. His
wife died some five years ago.
Gov. Culberson appointed Maj. Spencer
a member of the board of regents of the
State university. He was reappointed to
this position by Gov. Sayers, and only re-
cently was again reappointed regent by
Gov. Lanham. That and the criminal dis-
trict attorneyships were the only public
offices Maj. Spencer ever filled. He has
twice refused appointment as judge of the
criminal district court of Galveston and
Harris counties, having been twice o-ffered
this appointment by Gov. (Sayers. He has
a natural distaste for criminal practice,
and it was this that prompted him to de-
cline the proffered honors.
His appointment as judge of the 10th
judicial district gives unusual satisfaction
to the members of the Galveston bar. He
is a man of profound thought, of magnifi-
cent mental poise, of clear differentiating
reasoning power, and is possessed of a
temper that is calm and calculating. That
he should succeed his old law partner on
the bench is a coincidence that is touching
and pathetic, but it speaks of the splendid
accomplishments that were possessed by
the members of the former law firm of
Spencer & Stewart. Maj. Spencer has ai
natural love for the law, and his friends
have every reason to believe that his serv-
ices on the bench will add luster to his al-
ready brilliant legal career.

Texas Farm and Ranch.
Instead of selling your small farm ______
going in debt for a large one, would it not
be better to double the yield of the small
one? We have seen one hundred and three
bushels of corn gathered from a carefully
measured acre of thin sandy prairie soil
Sn south Texas, and gathered for six alter-
nate years from 7 acres, annual average
of 515 lbs. of lint cotton. We helped gath-
er and measure the 103 bushels of corn,
grown by a widow farmer, and in person
measured the acre. The proper wray to
enlarge -a small farm is downwards. Man-
lire and deep plowing will do it.
And many other painful and serious
ailments from which most, mothers
suffer, can be avoided by the use of
“MothgfS FrtelSi.1’ This great remedy
is a God-send to women, carrying
them through their most critical
ordeal with safety and no pain.
No woman who uses “Motta’S Friend” need fear the suffering
and danger incident to birth; for it robs the ordeal of its horror
and insures safety to life of mother and child, and leaves her in
a condition more favorable to speedy recovery. The child is
also healthy, strong and ~ ™
good natured. Our book |U| Es I
“Motherhood,” is worth SWB gJ8 @
its weight in gold to every Ei W
woman, and will be sent free in plain

‘The laitest news of the great Rock
Island! disals comes from Kansas. A di-
rector of the Atchison, Topeka, and. Santa
,Fe, who hides his identity, says that the
big" Atchison system Is about to be ah--
(sorbed by the Rock Island. This story is
iabroad in Wall street and some credence
,is given it there, but no official or
(authoritative statement can be had.
There has- been talk of this kind for
'some time, but it has been generally pooh-
jpoohed and discredited. But the Rock-
Island has ways qf doing things that are
decidedly strange even in this- day of vast
Railway combines. The idea of the South-
tern Pacific parting with its great Texas
feeder, the Houston and Texas Central,
;ivas laughed at; as absurd.. Yet the Rock
Island appears to have annexed1 it, or
rather the control of it. When it was
.whispered and then shouted that the Rock
Island would absorb the ’Frisco the wise
ones smiled. Yet it seems that a pretty
good understanding now exists between
the two great systems. It may be that
(the, Atchison and its constituent proper-
ties are to be embraced in the gigantic
mergers which the Rock. Island people are
[engineering. If this be true it may and it
may not be of advantage to Texas. Ex-
(perience has ta,ught that it is not always
.well for a state to have all its railways
in one basket. California developed this
.fact to everybody’ statist action and its
own sorrow. S'uch a combination would
'.be so all powerful as to absolutely check
all railway extension and it would be in a
. .position to do as it pleased almost with-
out regard to law or local interest. For
:this reason, if for no other, the latest ;
Rck Island rumors ar© full of interest, not
only to Galveston, but to the whole state.
.It would be a fine thing to be the port
.of such vast mileage of .railway. But
suppose it should be to the interest of
those railways to haul their stuff in the
other direction. What then? It is quite
true that commerce usually flows in
iia.tural channels, but a little competition
is a fine thing to help it along.
The most wonderful part of our being is the blood. It is
the fountain of life, the vital life-sustaining fluid, containing
everything needful for the growth and development of the body,
and as it circulates through the system carries material for the
making of bone and muscle and nourishment for the nerves
atom of the body is dependent upon the blood for its existence. The
bones would decay, muscles shrink and the skin become parched and shriveled but for the
nutriment they draw from the blood, and so long as it
remains uncontaminated and pure we are fortified against
disease and health is assured. But the blood is constantly
exposed to poisonous elements from a thousand sources;
we come in contact with infectious diseases almost every
day; we breathe into our lungs the germs of Malaria;
the water we drink is teeming with millions of microbes,
the dusf of the streets is filled with bacteria, and when
these gain access to the blood are distributed to all parts
of the system and the blood becomes a carrier of disease
instead of health. Deadly poisons are generated within
the body itself, which pollute and vitiate the blood, from
which serious and often fatal maladies result.
There is scarcely a disease that cannot be traced to
a bad condition of the blood. Rheumatism, Scrofula,
Catarrh, Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Contagious Blood Poison
and many other equally as distressing ailments are due
to a depraved condition of the blood, for which there is no
cure except through the purification of the entire blood
system. Sores and skin eruptions of the most frightful
character, ugly splotches upon the skin, blackheads,
pimples and the red disfiguring bumps so often seen upon the face and neck are also evidences
of diseased blood. The use of cosmetics, face bleaches, soaps and lotions hide the blemishes
and conceal for a time the roughness and redness of the skin, but do not reach the cause,
which is hidden deep down in the blood and beyond the reach of external treatment.
The blood is the main spring of health, the life current that strengthens and refreshes
the body, and upon its purity depends your health and happiness. If disease has already
entered and yon are suffering from some njalady for which an impure blood is responsible,
a blood purifier and tonic is what you need, and none is so good as S. S. S., which for nearly
fifty years has been recognized as the standard Remedy in all blood and skin diseases. It is
guaranteed purely vegetable and can be taken by old
and yqiyig without fear of any harmful after-effects.
S. S.-iSt is a perfect blood medicine; it destroys and
eradicates germs and poisons of every description and
restores to the weak and innutritions blood its lost
properties,, makes it rich and strong again, and under
the vitalizing effects of good blood the system rallies,
and the patient enjoys again the blessings of perfect health.
If you have Rheumatism, Scrofula, a Sore or Ulcer, Catarrh, Eczema, Tetter, Acne,
Contagious Blood Poison, or blood trouble of any kind, write us and our physicians will advise
you without charge. gw/pr SPECIFIC COMPANV, ATLAHTA. GA.
