KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the worlds best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs.
 Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of perfect lax ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and levers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.
 Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug gists in Soc and $1 bottles, but it is man. ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Go. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being we'll informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered.

WHERE IS THE DOCTOR?
Hattie Tuckcr's Death Charged to Dr. McCurry, Who Has Dis-
 appeared From Anniston.

The Anniston Hot Blast prints the fol- lowing in connection with the death of Hattie Tucker:
 Evidence which has been rapidly accu- mulating since the sad event proves most conclusively that the death of Hattie Tucker, the unfortunate young woman who died early iu the morning of Wednes- day, September 19, in the bawdy house of Gussie Wilson, corner Glen Addie and Seventh streets, was caused by acriminal operation performed the night before.
 And the proof is just as strong that Dr.. Samuel J. McCurry performed that opera tion.
 Dr. McCurry left town Friday night of the same week, but every effort is being made to apprehend him.
 Governor Jones has offered reward of S2O0 for his capture, and 1t is not thought he will be at liberty much longer.
 The trials of Joe Beard, the brother in- law, who is believed to have betrayed the girl, and Gussie Wilson and the two negro women, all four of whom are charged with complicity in her death, will be held be- fore Justice A. F. McGhee in the city court room tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.

FLORiDA'S ELECTION TO-DAY.


 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 1.-Florida tomorrow elects justice of the supreme court, sixteen members of the senate, the entire house of representatives and all the county officers save sheriff. Hon. Benja- min A. Liddon, the democratic nominee for the supreme bench, has no opposition. The populists have put out candidates for the legislature and county offices in many counties, but 1t is not thought that they will make show save in two or three counties. In several of the counties there are sharp fights between democrats. The railroad commission question has been the issue, aud the indications are that the next legislature will be overwhelmingly in favor of the Establishment of a commission.

a Specimen OF the Curious People Who,
Came from Nowhere and Are Going
Back There.
Could anything be more astonishing than
that there exists to-day race of people va
riously estimated at from seven hundred thou
sand to one million in numbers who are to be
found all over the face of the globe, in Asia, in
Africa, in Europe, in North and South America
and in Australia, all of the same racial type,
speaking common tongue which never seems
to have been corrupted in their dispersion over
the globe, and which is nevertheless an I'M
written tongue and spoken by q people whose
folk lore and traditions are so carefully guarded
that no one has yet been able to solve the,rid-
die OF their origin? In the fifteenth century
coming from the east they invaded Europe,
landing at Luneburg, and passing on scattered
over Hamburg and other German territory
The year 1417 marks an era in gypsy history,
but even prior to that there are traces of them
in Crete in 1922 and at Constantinople in 1850.
Then, as now, they were fortune tellers and
rogueS. The best theory constructed from ey-
oteric knowledge is that they are the descend
ants of HagarS child, lShmael and in 1122 this
view was taken by an Austrian monk. Philol-
ogists have devoted much study and more ar
gument to their language but without definite
results. 1t has probably alone been conceded
that 1t was pure Aryan at its carly stages.
