Glddness Comes

With q better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
tcrts-gentle pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness ire not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompts
ly removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, anlis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. Its therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended tothc most sllillful
physicians, but If in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syl-ipof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

President Hoffman Intimatcs That
1t Has Not Been Contaminated.


Baltimore, Oct. 10.-R. Curzon Hoffman,
president of the Seaboard Air Line, return
ed from a southern trip to-day. To a South
ern Associated Press reporter he made
the following statement regarding the
status Of the negotiations for the control
ling interest in the Seaboard and Roanoke
railroad, which is the parent company of
the Seaboard Air Line system: II am op-
Grating the Seaboard Air Line In the in
terest Of It's stockholders. Warned OF COM
ing trouble, a number of the large owners
have pooled our shares in the hands OF a
committee in whose ability and integrity
/ have absolute confidence That commit
tee Is In control of the situation and l ad-
wise all stockholders to sign the pooling
agreement without hesitation or delay as
II ensures fair treatment to all slgners
alike. Beyond this ] have nothing to say
except that have given four years of un-
ceasing care to the property at great cost
to myself and have received for my service
$4,000 salary per annum and not $50, 500 as
has been reported
Mr.. Hoffman's admission that the situa-
ton is in control of the pooling committee
is regarded as significant This Is believed
to mean that the New York syndicate VIII
have to secure control through the COM
mittee Mr. Hoffman refers TO.
Gen. Gill, however, is still receiving op-
tions and reports that stockholders are
signing his agreement daily.

UGLY CROWD IN CARE TOWN.
Songs Sung Suggesting the Hanging
of the Premier.

Cape Town, Oct. 10-A large public
mass meeting was held here last even
ing, the object of which was to protest
against the imposition of duties upon ar
ticles of food.
After the meeting a crowd of 5000 men,
bearing torches, marched in procession to
the residence of Sir j. Gordon Sprigg,
prime minister and treasurer OF the Cape
Colony, to whom their spokesman stated
the object of their coming.
The premier addressed the crowd, say
ing that it would be impossible to abolish
the duties Immediately, owing to the fact
that the convention with the Orange Free
State required one years notice of its
abrogation.
Ono of the leaders of the crowd,
OReilly, declared that the reply OF the
premier was evasive. Another Marillac,
called attention to the crowd outside the
grounds of the premiers residence, who.
he said, were ready to fight unless relief
should be forthcoming.
The premier deprecated any resort to
violence. He was with the people in SEN
timent he said, but the head of the gov
ernment must fulhll the law. After an
hours talk, with the result as told above
the crowd hooted and sang songs sug-
gestive of hanging the premier. The
scene was very impressive and dramatic.

large structure capable OF holding about
1000 people, seated and standing. 1t was
crowded to the doors and the candidate re-

Bryan made his important speech of the
evening there. His audience did not
warm up to his remarks at first, despite
the greeting 1t had given him, but toward
the conclusion of his address the enthusi-
asm became rampant.
His next speech was at the West Side
opera house, where another congregation
equally as enthusiastic and quite as un-
comfortably packed as that at the audi
torium, had been waiting for SOME time
for his appearance.
From there he went to Market Hill and

During his speech at the auditorium MIR.

A REPUBLICAN OUT FOR BRYAN.
Ex-GOv. Smith Says McI<inIey's EIec-
ton Would BE a Disaster.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct 10.-Ex-Gov. w.
H. Smith, for many years a stanch and
uncompromising republican, has taken the
stump for Bryan and Sewall. In a speech
at his old home in Wedowee, Randolph
county, last Thursday, he said he is too
old to mislead his old friends if he so de-
sired, and in his opinion the election of
Mr.. Mckinley would be the greatest ca
lamity that could befall the country at
this time.
Ex-Gov. Smith belongs to that class of
republicans who are honored and respect
ed by members of all parties in Alabama,
and his coming out so boldly for Bryan
and Sewall has had a tendency to demor-
alize the better element of the republican
party throughout the state. He had one
son on the republican-populist ticket for
attorney general on the recent state ticket
and one ran for state senator from Jeffer-
son county, both Of whom are supporters
Of Mckinley.

A LOAN WITHOUT A TRAIL.
No Record of 1t Found on the Eagle
and Phenix Books.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 1O.-Among the cred
itors Of the Eagle and Phoenix Cotton
Mills Company of Columbus, which failed
some months ago, was the Lowry Bank
ing Company of Atlanta. The bank
claimed that it had loaned the mills $10,-
600, and, under state law, asked to be
preferred by the court, as the loan had
been made within six months of the ap-
pointment of the receivers To-day the
receivers reported that they could find no
evidence in the mill company's books of
the loan, President Bigbee having made
no record Of it. If it can be shown that
the money was loaned within six months
of the company's failure, and was ap-
piled TO keeping the mills "a-going con-
cern" the court will direct that the bank
be made a preferred creditor. The re-
ceiyers are still looking for evidence to
show what was done with the money.
