gently and copiously for an hour
or more, soaking the ground and
^padding about an equal amount to
the glorious downppur of last
Saturday. Around Cum by the

governor to support its position.
p t Rain fell last Saturday until
every one was happy. The
clouds poured water on the
; thirsty ground and then turned
and came. back, repeating the
good work until the
groutid was
soaked. Crops were 4 suffering
and beginning to damage but the
• rain turned our fears into joy.
T Orops were clean and the ground
ready to drink up the moisture
As it fell. Not for years have
the prospects been so cheering.

COTTONSEED FLOUR.
?
Cotton Seed Flour has a nutri-
tive value more than five times
that of Wheat Flour, nearly
three times that of Lean Round
of Beef as bought in the markets
and from 3 to 30 times that of
many of the best known and
most frequently used articles of
food, while its every day use by
many of our home people, and
its rapidly increasing popularity
everywhere fully establishes its
delicious flavor, ease of digestion
and entire healthfulness.
Cottonseed Flour has not yet
received the critical tests
necessary to warrant it’s unre-
served recommendation by rec-
ognized authorities as a specific
curative agent; but some eminent
authoritives who have examined
it’s chemical constituents and
Obteived it’s effects in practical
use, have not hesitated to recom-
mend it to delicate patients, both
young and old and are encouraged
to hope that in it’s high Protien
and Fat, and low Carbohydrate
content, with it’s practical
absence of starch it will be found
to fill a want long felt in the
profession as a diatetic remedy
in many diabetic diseases and
gastric disturbances.

A GANG OF POISONERS.
The following appeared edito-
rially in a recent issue of the
Houston Chronicle. It puts the
matter so forcibly that the Ga-
zette reproduces it herewith in
full below;
Worse than Dr, Hyde, if the
Doctor is guilty as charged.
Houston authorities are now
certain that a band of wholesale
poisoners exist in this city. The
members of the band are alleged
to be numerous and, some of them
have found shelter in the best
homes of the city. Many who are
on terms of familiarity with indi-
viduals in this baud have no idea
whatsoever of the true character
ol the assassins. W hen the truth
has been whispered to them, they
have looked liqrrified and said,“I
d<~» not believe it.”
It has been conceded by those
who know that systematic efforts
have been made by the poisoners
to gain entrance into every home
in the city. The poisons used are
seldom mineral, but usually vege-
table and animal or parasitic in
their nature. The work is often-
times slow and subtle, but some-
times sudden and terryfying.
The awful horror of the situation
is that the assassins are deliberate-
ly poisoning the food supply. It
is a favorite device to put cultures
of active poison into food, especi-
ally milk and butter.
Dr. Hyde is alleged to have
used typhus germs, but it is
known that this gang uses typhus
germs in great quantities, some
times putting au many as 6,000
germs into a single glass of milk.
Diphtheria, diarrhoea, tubercu-
losis, smallpox and other cultures
are also used.
While mothers were not look-
ing these fiends have been known
to pat the poison into the eyes
of babies, causing blindness and
death.
They pollute and contaminate
every kind of food supply, usual-
ly with so innocent a demeanor
that they escape suspicion.
So strongly fortified is the gang
of poisoners and on such good
terms with many who are now
protecting them, that the police
and other officials declare them-
selves powerless to act without
co-operation. Perhaps the poison
was put into your baby’s milk
bottle today.
Perhaps your food supply has
been made more dangerous than
if the green venom of the curved
tooth of a rattlesnake had been
squirted into it—due to the work
of the poisoners.
These poisoners are i He, vi-
cious and deadly. They are the
sworn foes of the human race.
They have never performed any
Flying Machines In
Warfare.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. June
6.—The government has closed
a contract with Charles R. Ham-
ilton, the aviator, to conduct thth
most extensive experiments in
aerial reconnoissance and bom-
bardment ever attempted.
These spectacular tests will be
made here this summer at the en-
campment of Federal troops and
National Guard from several
states. The machine used by
Hamilton will be a duplicate of
the one in which Curtiss made
his famous flight from Albany to
New Yopk ac almost a mile-a-
minute clip. ,
In addition to the Hamilton
machine there will be also the
Wright bi-piaue, owned by the
government and the dirigible
balloon of Capt. Tom Baldwin.
In executing his work, Hamil-
ton will carry aloft from 200 to
300 pounds of highly explosive
nitroglycerin bombs. Sailing at
a speed varying from forty-five
to fifty-five miles an hour, he
will release the deadly cargo
while at a height of a quarter of
a mile above the earth, raining
it down upon the targets in the
two mile space below. The tar-
gets beneath will consist of
dummy fortifications, batteries,
arsenals, bridges, trains and
troops.
In order that danger to life
may be elimanated to the remo-
test degree, the troops engaged in
the maneuvers will be employed
to police the area over which
Hamilton will carry on his
extraordinary operations.
Brownsville Kegro Soldiers
Again Causing

SEATTLE. Wash., June 6.—
Members of the Twenty-fifth U.
S. infantry, the negro regiment
of Brownsville fame, for the
second time in a few months was
paraded before a woman yester-
day in an effort to pick out a
criminal.

ted she was attacked at her home
Saturday night by a negro dress-
ed as a soldier, was unable to
indenfcifv any of the soldiers as

All were in active service from
the first and when the Stars and

they came home to find this fair
land in ruins but with a determi-
nation to build a new Southland,

Thursday was a windy, disa-

but when these grand old men
recieved word to meet one of
their comrades in arms, thought
nothing of the discomforts of
