These_sub- scriptions ~ yielded ‘to they $580,680 in cash. 4 On_July 21 we made an offer to the bénk creditors’ committes to pay’ at the expiration of our Dresent exten- sion, Sept. 18, 33 1-3 per cent. in gash ‘to, the halders of the company’s, paper and to give for the balance promissory notes maturing 20 per. cent. in .one vear, 25 per cént. in two yéars, and 55 cent. in three years, with interest @&t 6 per cent. This was accepted by:. of our b creditors, and on Sept. 1. n ‘was made to. the notéehold- ers op the above terms. BT I can fairly congratulate the stock- holders upon the success of this plan, which- means t the pressure of financial’ stringency is removed . and| that the company is enabled to con- duct its business unhampered by the Jeck of funds to meet maturing obliga- tions. At the same time, this relieves the ¢ompany of all danger of a re- ceéivership and renders unnecessary any plan of stock reorganization. “A “balance sheet certified sto by Messrs. Barrow, Wade, Guthie & com- pany is annexed to this report. Stock- holders will note that under the head- ing of ‘capital stock liabilities thege has béen deducted from the amount of the common stock of the company, name- 1y, $3,000,000; the sum of _$650,000, leaving the liability for common stock outstanding $2,350,000, instead of '§3,- ,000. - This' ‘represents common stock which the present management found to: be. held by certain of the ipany's . subsidiaries, and . stock which was aurrendered to the com- Pany on the -adjustment of various claims asserted by the present men- agement.” The return of this.stock to the treasury of the company. of course materially improves the statusof the aining stockholders.

Lathrop has favgred The Bulletin with a three foot branch from one of his apple trees containing -% large, well formed and ~unblemished russets. It is remarkable to find so many apples on so short a branch and of a uniform size, but the remarkeble thing about this particular branch is that it comes from an old tree. Mr. Lathrop, whose orchards are located on the Bargytown ledges in Bozrah, has a very large crop of apples this year, upwards of 1,000-bushels. This bumper crop is the result/of intensive farming and modern methods. Mr. throp sprays his trees and takes great care Of his .orchard, with the.result that his old trees which ordinarily would have yielded but few apples under the old methods are loaded down with ap- ples thickly grouped on the branches.

At the republican convention for the nomination of candidates for judge of probate in Middletown, Judge Cur- tiss S, Bacon, the democratic nominee, was unanimously endorsed. Endorsed Republican. The progressive voters of the Twen- ty-third Senatorial District in Bridge- "port, hate endorsed the nomination of Frederick A. Bartlett, republican, for senator from that district. t Postmortem Discussions. Sunday press agents for Congress- man Mahan are still wearying a long suffering public with postmortem dis- cussions of Mahan’s defeat for senator an& the ridiculous flurry over his a eeptance of the congressional nomina don, as a glance into the state regis- ter will convincingly show.—Bridge- port Telegram. . Strong Nominations. Republicans have gnade exceptional- ly strong. nominations for senator in many” districts throughout the state. Some of the best known so far are Thomas G. Alcorn of Enfleld, Charles W. Evarts of Milford, Lucius E. Whit- on of New London, Frederick M. Sal- mon of Westport, Robert V. Magee of Watertown and Ernest L. Isbell of New Haven, all 'of whom are running in districts that are reascnably certain to elec tthem.—Bridgeport Telegram. Out of Politics. The republicans of the probate dis- trict of Berlin are tobe congratulated on the wisdom which titey showed at the convention Saturday evening in indorsing the candidacy of Judge Ber- nard F. Gaffney of New Britain, who had been renominated by the demo- crats. TBhe action of the republicans was in harmony with the sentiment that politics should not be allowed to play a part in the election of judges of probate. The republicans of ghe district of Hartford, in indorsing’ the nomination of Judge Marvin, also showed a practical sympathy with the sentiment. The democrats of the dis- trict of Ellington, which includes the city of Rockville, and the democrats of Winchester, when they indorsed the republican nominees in their re- spective districts, represented the view which the democrats of the state take of the nomination of judges of pro-- bate, and this view is in accord with the 'non-partisan sentiment.—Hart- ford Times. The Governor and Prohibition. Governor Baldwin says, in a per- sonal letter to J. H. Mansfield, chair- man of the Temperance and Citizen- ship committee of the New Haven ‘Christian Endeavor union, that hesis opposed to the passage of an amend- ment to the constitution favoring na- tion-wide prohibition. If elected to the United States senate the governor will not favor the Shepard-Hobson bill, because he does not beleve a candidate for public office can pledge himself in advance to vote upon pend- ing legislation. Governor Bagldwin says he does not believe in the principle of the bill in the first place, because, it is legisla- tive enactment transgressing states’ rights. The prohibition of the manu; facture or sale of intoxlcating liquors is within the authority of the state, and mot be assumed by the fed- eral government. A’ constitutional amendment to give the same power to the United States would seriously disturb the balance be- tween the state and the nation. He says further: “It would take away a part of the slal¥ sovereignty over. her citizens. e Willard Lucas of, Poquetanuck spent “It'would tend strongly toward re- placing our constitutional scheme by We have just received-large shipments of all the leading Boys’ and Girls’ BOOKS Motor Boat Boy Scouts , High Scheol Boys and Girls Camp Fire Girls Girl Chume Little Girls’ Series Mrs. Meade’s Works and the Grace Harlowe Books loys Scouts of Hickory Ridge at the popular price of 25¢ each “The How To Do It Books” || are fine for the boys. “Good ' Naughty - Books” are great.

It would, so far forth, centralize politi- cal power. “It would also favor the rich, who can import liquors in large lots for their owm use, as against the poor, who cannot. “It has proved a failure, as tried by Connecticut 60 years ago, and local option has been demonstrated to be more adaptable. “A large part of our people,” h® con- tinues, (though I am not one of the number) drink intoxicating® liquors, sometimes, as a beverage. Almost all those who come from foreign coun- tries do so. They wege born to the habit. Most of them drink with mod- eration. They take wine or beer as most_of us take tea or coffee. So did our Puritan forefathers on both sides of the Otlantic.” The fact that the characteristics of the various states in the union differ widely leads him to the conviction that it would be unwise to load upon any state, by a nation-wide prohibitory 1aw, a policy which it may disapprove because deeming it unsuited to its par- tieular circumstances and conditions.

They are the result of Dr. Edwards’ determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints ‘with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does but have no bad after effects. They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havot with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets take its place.
