Had ScrofulaforSsvarifeen Years
I have suffered from Scrofula for about seventeen
years. The disease being mostly confined to my legs
and ankles my shin bones were covered with large
Ulcers ana one mass of rotten flesh, and the odor
almost unbearable. All remedies and treatments
which I tried tailed to do me any good. At last I
began taking S. S. S.f continuing for about four
months, and I AM CERTAINLY WELL. J took S.
S S. under the supervision of a physician of twen-
ty-six years active practice, bv your order. Pre-
vious to taking S. S. S. I at times could scarcely
■walk. Now. I dan walk all day, and I have to
thank S. S. 8., and it onlu, for my cure.

Having, after long and careful study and great
expense, succeeded m perfecting the abov« re-
ferred to machine, we otter it now to the public as
the most powerful, safe and expeditious compress
in use.
Wholly of metal, reducing its risk of destruction
much in case of fire, and working with scarcely any
friction, its movemenis are smooth end noiseless;
and as the whole powr is directly applied to the
bale without intervention of levers, cog gearing or
other devices common to other forms of com-
presses. its work is performed at less cost of fuel
per bale than any press iu use.
W hen used in combination with RiesePs Bale
Ejector, which discharges the pressed bale as soon
as the press opens, thereby relieving the men fr >m
that laoor. 100 bal«ss per hour can be compressed
and tied. ^ ^
The capacity of the press is 2000 tons, and this is
applied to each bale pressed.
These presses are built in the very best manner,
and with ail the care that skill and experience can
command, and are guaranteed in all their details.

Markets by Telegraph
New Yore, May 16.-Governments percent
higher for 5s, otherwise unchanged. Railroads gen
erally heavy. State securities neglected. The
special feature of the stock market in rho fore
noon was Wabash, which was exceptionally weak
and 1^4'&1^ lower, and Union Pacific and Lacka
vranna, which were strong aud >4 higher. Aside
from Wabash the result of the forenoon's business
was merely a maintenance of yesterday's best
prices on the general list, which were somewhat
higher than the closing figures .'ast night. Among
the specialties Chicago, St. Louis and Pittsburgh
advanced l*a<z&lj4 f°r common and preferred;
Richmond and Danville hi a,,d Canada Pacific %
above the highest figure of yesterday; Wabash
continued to depress the market up to 2 o'clock.
In tlie last hour the market was generally firmer,
and there was an improvement of on the
general list, bringing prices up to about
the average of the day. Exceptions to
the general rules, recovery and strength
in the last hour were Wabash, which closed 2&2%
per ceut. lower than last night, and Memphis and
Charleston 3 per cent. lower. Tne majority of
other stocks closed at a small fraction below" last
night's closing, but the market was firm at the
close. The Evening Post has the following: The
crop reports are more encouraging, and especially
from the far northwest, where the prospect was
never better than at present. It is also now pretty
well understood that the depression last week was
due to apathy of the bulls, rather than to an in-
herent wea.knets in the market, and that tbis con-
dition has been taken advantage of by the bears to
raid the market. It is believed there is consider-
able short interest out in Louisville and Nashville
and Union Pacific, which will be promptly covered
if the market should advance. a meeting of the
Western Union directors was held to-day. but
nothing definite was reported in regard to prospect
of having the stock listed on the l«mdon Stock'Ex-
change. It is still believed by parties interested
that it will be listed. Transactions. 288.000 shares.

NEW YORK LETTER.
The Stock IVIarket—Railroad ZTotes*
Etc.
[Special Correspondence of The News.]
New Yore, May 12.—Stocks went down. Gould
and Sage returned in ecstacies over the unbounded
wealth and prosperity of the country, and pre-
dicted a smart advance in stocks; iu fact, their talfc
was huliish in the extreme, but while this was be-
imparted to the ear. there was lively selling on
the Stock Exchange, and prices, instead of going
up. as predicted by these great men. went dewa hg
<"3,1 per cent. The writer remarked yesterday that
Mr. Gould's presence would be no inspiration to the
market, and the remark is confirmed. All the
while he has been absent he has telegraphed bull-
ishly, but at the same time, it is now held, he ha«
been a seller. It is reported also on good authority
that Mr. H. N. Smith, a main pillar iu the bull tem-
ple, has quietly unloaded mo*t of his stocks thi*
week, ana is not now adverse to a decline, when h4
will buy them ba<-k again.
Between Gould's bull talk anu the actual fall in
stocks, outsiders are more at sea than ever, and,
will, no doubt, continue to let tliem alone ; they
seldom buy on a falling market.
Stocks closed at the lowest, with evidences of
new selling of large stocks from some quarter*
which good buying did not check. A large holder
of Reading securities states that if ir had not been
considered certain that Jerseys would earn 6 per
cent., the guarantee of that figure from the begin-
ning of the lease would not have been made. The
contract, he'eonsidered, would be mutually bene-
ficial to both roads, as they were almost sure to
show a large increase of earnings under the united
management.
The earnings of the railroads generally in April
are not quite so favorable as in March. "Sixty-two
roads show a total of $20,840,740, as compared witU
' 19,307,569 in 1882. The largest increase was in the
Northwestern properties. The grosa earnings
from January 1 to Anvil 30 were $64,832,422, against
S« 7.478.757 last year.'or a gain of $7,350,665.
The new board of directors of the Canadian
Pacific for the ensuing year is as follows: George
Stephen, Duncan Mclntvre, John S. Kennedy, R.
B. Angers, Win. L. Scott. Charles Rose, H. S.
Northcote and P. Grenfell, of London: Baron Rei*
nach, of Paris, and R. V. Martinseu. of Amster-
dam. Tli« latter is supposed to represent the
Dutch and Mr. Scott the New York shareholders.
It is proposed in the new plans, with reference to
the Mobile and Alabama road, to extend it to
Uniontown, where a connection will be made with
the Alabama Central aud the East Tt-nnesaee
system.
Mr. Villard returns on Tuesday. There will be
no holiday here on the 24th.

Gatesville Advance: At Pecan Grove, in
this county, on Friday, William McKinsey, a
well-to-do, middle-aged farmer of that place,
killed himself by taking half a box of Rough

home home and told his wife that certain par-
ties had a writ for him aud that he was afraid
of being killed. No other reason was assigned
by him than the one referred to above, and
that was one of imagination, as no writ had
been issued for him. and he bad no enemies in
the country there so far as known. He seemed
to be very sorry of his deed before he became
unconscious, and evinced a desire to recover.
He was a man rather well off, and leaves a
wife and five children.
