Wooten, of estate of bankrupts. of order of th hot R, referee ways are used by farmers for curing and preparing their to- for the market; namely sun cured, air cured and flue cured. The old and cheap way is called air cured; the later discovery and proved way is called flue cured. In flue curing the tobacco is taken from the fields and racked in barns especially built to retain heat and there subjected to a continuous high temperature, produced by the direct heat of flame heated flues, which brings out in the tobacco that stimulating taste and aroma that expert roasting develops in green coffee. These similar processes give to both tobacco and coffee the cheer- and stimulating quality that pop- their use. The quality of tobacco depends much on the curing process and the kind of soil that produces it, as ex- pert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco- grown in the famous Pied- region, requires and takes less sweetening than tobacco grown in any other section of the United States and has a wholesome, stimulating, juicy, full tobacco taste that satisfies tobacco hunger. That's why chewers prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps cheers more than any other chewing tobacco, and that's why chewers of Schnapps pass the good thing along one chewer makes other chewers, until the fact is established that there are more chewers and more pounds of tobacco chewed to the population in states-where Schnapps tobacco is sold than there are in those states where Schnapps not yet been offered to the trade. A plug of Schnapps is more economical than a much larger plug of cheap tobacco. Sold at per pound in cuts.

A TESTIMONIAL- Farmville N. C. July 1st 1907. To whom this may concern. This is to certify that I suffered with constipation and for years. In fact my stomach trouble was contracted during the civil war while living and serving on the frontier with Co. E. N. C. Reg, Daniel's Brigade. Upon returning from the war my health gradually became worse until my was such, that I almost gave up to die I was treated by the best skilled physicians within reach, without results, and finally I was advised by Dr. C. J. to discontinue all medicines and drugs and try the waters of Green Spring, on the late Howell Joyner's farm, which I did. From that day I never took another dose of cine, and to my surprise in a few- days. I found that I could eat any thing I pleased without any unpleasant feeling or burning I sensation in my stomach. My constipation was changed into and instead of retched and tired some nights I enjoyed sweet rest and blissful sleep. In two months I gained from lbs. to lbs. Furthermore during my suffering from I had on both my less what the doctors pronounced eczema ulcers, which were as large as the palm of my hand. I began bathing them in the I water and they healed in two weeks without leaving the least sign or scars. Twelve years have elapsed since I began using this water, and I have not felt the least of indigestion or seen any sign of ulcers I can truthfully say I only wish all suffering humanity knew us much of the virtues of the waters J.

Neither President Roosevelt nor the Department of Justice desired Judge Pritchard to issue his writ of habeas corpus. of the department o Justice hold that the case was purely one for the State courts, and that Judge Pritchard when applied to by the Southern Railroad should have refused to act.
