The Starkville News PUBLISHED WEEKLY. STARKVILLE. : : * MISSISSIPPI. Our Harvest Wealth. The total value of the farm produces of the United States for the year 19j5 will equal approximately the total value of all the gold produced in tho world for the last 30 years. The an- nual output of the world’s gold and silver mines is even now worth less than one-tenth the gross output of American farms for a single year. The director of the mint estimates the value of the world’s production of gold between the years 1873 and 1903 at $4,897,265,900. The gross value of the farm products of the United .States for the year 1899, as given in the last fed- eral census, was $4,717,010,973. The value of this year's products will un- questionably exceed that. The wheal crop is estimated to be in excess of 700,000,000 bushels, second only to the reccord-breaking ccrop of 1901. The corn crop is estimated at 2,716,000,000 —a figure that has never before been reached. While the cotton crop is ex peeled to fall below 10,000.000 bales, the gross market value will not fall greatly below the average of the last five years. In other directions the re- ports indicate a year of prosperity for Amcncan agriculture for which no aa- minisuation in power need ever be re- luctant to claim the credit. While the backbone of this prosperity is rep- resented by the three great speculative trops, wheat, corn and cot cop,, other crops which never lash boards of trade Into a frenzy modestly contribute thei” hundreds of millions to the annual production of the American farm. No- body ever hears of an egg panic, bin the American hen. without ostenta- tious display, lays $145.000 000 worth of eggs in a year. The cold-storage companies, know about it and so do the benevolent gentlemen in Chicago who are known as the meat trust. r i he newspapers never report a corner in hay, but the hay crop is worth about as much as the wheat crop and more tnan the cotton crop. In spite of ad misgivings about the decline of Ameri- can agriculture, remarks the New \ork World, and the aversion of the Ameri- can boy to farm life, the farm keeps on doing its work and laying an increas- ingly solid foundation for the prosper- ity of the rest of the country. The farm output is more than keeping pace with the population, as the statistics of the last generation amply prove. Intellectual Improvement. The capital of nearly all of our wealthy citizens is invested in manu- facturing, mining or transportation, giving useful and profitable employ- ment to millions. Many of those citi- cens. observes the Washington Post, are giving more lime to business than their employes do. Some of the own- ers of vast properties are accused of squandering their wealth because they aie free-handed in spending money. But that puts their cash into the chan- nels of trade, paying for labor of many kinds. Of course, there are rich fools for the ability of a man to accumulate a great fortune does not furnish an as- surance that his sons will inherit his business capacity along with his es- tate. But those weaklings, by exei- cising their folly, only distribute the millions their fathers piled up. As for intellectual strength and culture the present generation of Americans shows no decadence. As to morals, this gen- eration is on a higher plane than any that has preceded it. Because Oliver Powe. a builder, of An- sonia. Conn., put all his property in his wife’s name and she died childless he has lost it all. according to the probate court’s ruling, and is left penniless at the age of 72, too infirm to work*. Be- lieving that at his wife’s death he would be her heir. Mr. Powe had his home and savings. $22,000 in all. transferred to her, so she would have no trouble in getting his estate should he die first. Mrs. Prowe died at year ago. her estate was promptly claimed by her relatives and the probate court sustained their claim. Mr. Powe has brought a suit for equitable relief. A corporation of women has been formed in Indianapolis. Ind., for the purpose of building small but artistic homes for people of moderate means. All the directors are business women; one of the vice presidents is Miss Eliza- beth Browning, the city librarian, and another is the principal of one of the public schools. The secretary had for some time been in charge of the office of a savings and loan association and is the only woman member of the Indian- apolis fire inspection board. Six houses are to be erected at once in various parts of the city. THE WEEK’S DEWS TERSELY OUTLINED An Epitome of the Most Important Events at Home and Abroad the Past Week.

The following are among the heaviest week- ly rainfalls reported: Kosciusko, .Too inches; Jackson’, 3.02, and Vicksburg, 3.80'. Over the whole port on of the State cotton has been somewhat in- jured by heavy rains, and picking has been much retarded. The frost did no material damage, except iu three or four northwestern counties, where some young cotton was frost bitten. In lowlands ladls continue to open slowly, bat over the eastern and south- ern portions of the State bolls are prac- tically all open and picking is well ad- vanced. being about completed in some southern counties. Worms continue their ravages in the western counties, and there are scattered reports of bolls rotting. There will be no top crop, and there has been no improvement in the yield outlook. “(lathering corn is generally making satisfactory progress, and in some lo- calities the crop has been housed. The gathering of minor crops has com- menced, and good yields are generally indicated. Potatoes are making a line yield. Pastures and fall gardens con- tinue in good condition. Traveling Sergeant Dodds placed in the penitentiary hist week a batch of the youngest convicts ever received at that institution at one time. One of them is Gus Stack, a white hoy eighteen years of age, who was sent up from Tippah county for twelve years for arson and robbery. Stack has been married two years.

Y. Sun. STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH Dr. Williams* Pink Pills Really Cure Indigestion instead of Merely Relieving Symptoms. There are plenty of remedies by which you can relieve for the time heartburn, pain and gas on the stomach and can smother nervous seusatious and induce artificial sleep. You can humor your stomach by giving it predigested food. But when you take your next meal all your trouble begins afresh. ' There is only one sensible thing to do. Strengthen the stomach and do away with the necessity for drugs and arti- ficial foods. The best remedy ever found for this purpose is the one that was used by E. E. Strong, of Capleville, Shelby county, Tenu. “For years,** he states, “ I suffered greatly from indigestion. I tried many different remedies and some of them would relieve me for a time, but the trouble always came back. About six months ago I had an unusually severe attack, and while I tried everything I bad ever heard of, I found that none of the ordinary remedies would reach the difficulty this time. “ One day I read in a Memphis paper how Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills had cured a Michigan woman, a sufferer from chronic dyspepsia of a most stubborn type. I then tried the same remedy and it proved just as successful in my case. I took only three boxes, and was cured. I have not had the slightest symptoms of indigestion since.** The tonic treatment has a sonnd prin- ciple as its basis, and abundant success in actual use. Multitudes of cases that had defied all other remedies have been cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The pills actually make new blood and strike at the root of all diseases caused by bad blood. They contain no harmful stimulants or opiates. Every dyspeptic should read, ** What to Eat and How to Eat.” Write the Dr. Williams Medicine Cos., Schenec- tady, N.Y., for a free copy. ?SI LIVER AND BOWELS NOTHING CAN EQUAL MOZLEY'S LEMON ELIXIR it PROMPTLY CURES CONSTIPATION, BILIOUSNESS, INDIGESTION,, SOUR ITOM- ACH AND ALL DERANGEMENTS OP-THE STOMACH AND BOWELS. 50 CENTS A 30TTLE AT ALL DRUG STORES.
