SAW MILLS SHUTTING DOWN.
Death of a Child From Poison.

'Abbeville, Ga, June 24.-Owing to the
poor demand for pine lumber, many of
the saw mills in this section are running
on short time with the prospect of shut
ting down entirely till there is an i'm
provement in the lumber market.
There was an excursion from Able
vile to Queenland "a station on the
Abbeville and Waycross railroad) ,
twelve miles from Abbeville, last Friday.
The object of it was to sell town lots at
Queenland at auction. S. p. Losseter,
president and receiver of the road, owns
the property. Twenty lots, 5OxlOO feet,
were sold. Another sale will take place
soon.
Little Annie, the 4-year-old daughter of
W. H. Miller. machinist of Abbeville,
died at 2 o'clock this morning from
poison, taken yesterday afternoon. The
physicians are unable to determine what
the poison was, and will probably make a
post-mortem examination.
Copious rains are now visiting this
locality

his flies at the end Of about forty feet OF

the stream, and, from the impulse Of the
moment, made a cast for it and drove the
hook of the trail tiy through one Of its

No bride who is truly fin de steele

A Boston Herald reporter went through
a factory where these magic tokens are
made the other day. 1t requires good
deal of labor, and many men and some
women are engaged in IL. When money

human race, it makes one shiver, even

the Place.
Mai G. A. Whitehead's friends In Sa-
vannah are very anxious to hear some
definite information from Atlanta as TO
his chances Of appointment by the gov
ernor to the place on the railroad com
mission, made vacant last week by the
death of Hon. Virgil Powers. Mai.
Whitehead's appointment would afford
great satisfaction TO his many friends
here.
There is anotherawellaknown Savan-
nathan who is being spoken of for the
vacancy and whose appointment would
give a great deal of satisfaction here
This is Mr. w. w. Starr, for several
years superintendent of the main stem of
the Central railroad. Mr.. Starr is known
all over the state as practical railroad
man who knows the business from the
ground up. The law requires that the
railroad commission shall be composed of
three men, one n lawyer, one business
and one railroad man. IL is the latter
place which is not vacant. Those who
know MIR. Starts sentiments know that
the railroad interests wonld be we'll cared
for in his hands. 1t would be a fortunate
thing for Savannah for the new commits
sioner to be man well acquainted with
her peculiar situation in railroad affairs
and who by reason of such
knowledge would be able to a
certain extent to thwart unfriendly
moves by the railroad interests
1t would be piece of rare good luck for
Savannah to have one of her citizens a
member of the railroad commission at
this critical juncture.

DANGERS OFDRESS
How Men and Women Run Great Risks
During the Summer In the Way They
Are Clothed.

How Men and Women Run Great Risks
During the Summer In the Way They
Are Clothed.
Few people think at this time OF the year OF
the great importance OF dress.
In the winter people dress warmly because
they know it is a necessity, but in the sum
mer, when it is hot, they go to the other ex-
IRENE and even dress oohghtly. Hot weather
causes people to use light clothing; but sud
denly the wini changes, the air becomes
chilly, and cold is pretty certain to be the
result.
Now, where most people make mistake is
in not guarding against these sudden changes
quickly and in time. Any man or woman who
has on a light suit OF clothing and feels a
change which brings a chill, should at once
counterfeit the chill. This can only be done
by the use of some pure stimulant not
gingers or hot drinks but a psre medicinal
whlsbey that will refresh the system, cause
the blood TO circulate, and bring about iunme.
date reaction. Their is but one medicinal
whiskey that will do this and that is DufTys
Pure Malt. 1t has for twenty years accom-
pllshed what mas never been known before in
counteracting the hrst symptoms of sudden
colds and preventing the possibility OF pneu-
monia, tevers and a. the addressing com
plants which follow any cold
1t should be remembered, however, that
Dudy's Pure Malt is the only whiskey which
will certainly accomplish this. and however
much dealers may talk TO the contrary II
alone should be taken.
