The life of motorman Is not bed Of
roses. He Is subjected to many hardshfps
especially in the winter when he is exposed
to the cold and snow. Even in the sum mer
he must bear the intense heat which beats
down upon him. Considerable nerve and
self possession is necessary in good motor
man, for the lives and limbs Of his pas
sengers are ct stake. One of the best
known electric motormen in this city Is
William Frazer, who Is at present running
a car on the Cumminsville electric line. De
is not only well known to his fellow en-
ployes but to the people who travel on his
car. Mr.. Frazer Is o young man about
twenty-six years Of age and resides with his
wife and child at IA Belts Street, Cincin.
natl, o. About q year ago Mr.. Frazer was
taken with serious stomach troubles. ne
bought several kirds of medicine which
were recommended to him, but none OF
them seemed to give him even temporary
benefit An enthusiastic admirer OF that
famous remedy known as DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People told him to try
them. Frazer was almost discouraged, but
took the advice. To reporter OF the En-
Qnirer he said:
liams' Pink Pills. They are all that Is
claimed for them, In fact they advertise
themselves better than any medicine ever
saw. / was seized some time ago with
bad attack Of indigestion. My stomach
hurt me nearly all the time and could not
digest my food. The pain was almost un-
bearable and found nothing that would give
me relief. I confess that when I bought
the first box Of Pink Pills hadn't much
confidence In their efficacy because had
tried so many things without success that
was almost discouraged. Before had
taken one box was decided better: TWO
boxes cured me entirely. While l have
been under the weather from other causes
my indigestion has never returned. II 1t
ever should know just what to do. have
SO much confidence in the efficacy OF Pink
Pills that IL lever get real sick again with
any disorder / shall use some Of them. 1t
Is pleasure for me l assure you to testify
to the excellent qualities Of these Pink Pills.
They not only tone the stomach but regr-
late tho bowels and act as mild cathartic."
Mr.. Frazer's testimonial means some
thing. He speaks from personal experience
and any one who doubts that he received
the benefits stated can easily verify the as
sertiou by calling On MIR. Frazer or seeing
him some time while heis on his car.

elements necessary to give new life and

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to q consfipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
Iy removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
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 It is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. 1T
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used andgives most geDK al satisfaction.

out of his sack a bottle of oil
and bottle of wine, cleanses the

some of the restorative into the

tion. The controlling bondholder dur.
ing this period was the especial friend
and financial supporter Of the Seaboard
AIR Line, the banker who floated the
bonds to build the Georgia, Carolina &
Northern. The managers of the Sea-
board Air Line will not deny that the
property was offered to them in prefer.
ence to the Central. For reasons best
known to them, they did not secure it.,
although it was legitimate extension
of their line to Macon.
Until about a year ago the Southern
Railway Company owned no interest
whatever in the Georgia Southern &
FLORIDA. That property was in the
hands of a receiver, it's reorganization
was being conducted by u committee,
one member of which was a director
in the Seaboard Air Line, and another
the President of the Trust Company
which is the chief supporter and ally
OF the Seaboard Air Line in Baltimore.
The Seaboard Air Line then had ample
opportunity to make the investment in
the Georgia Southern & Florida which
was afterwards made by the Southern.
Ihis would have given the Seaboard
line to Florida.
The managers of the Seaboard Air
Line will not deny that the Atlanta &
Florida was offered to them. This
would have been another legitimate
extension of their line.
Up to few months ago the Georgia
Midland was in the market for any
purchaser. The Seaboard Air Line had
ample opportunity to acquire it, and
thus extend its system to Columbus.
The Southern Railway Company has
made its investments in these proper.
ties openly and in good faith, has
materially improved and is still i'm.
proving all of them which it controls
with much benefit to the public. and
so far without compensation to itself.
If the Seaboard Air Line does not or
can not avail of its opportunities to
enlarge its facilities and increase its
business, it should not make public
walls because Others are more fortunate
or more progressive.

Wake the Most Of Yourself.

It is the duty of every man TO make
the most of himself. Whatever his ca.
pacities may be, he is sure to find some
place where he can be useful to him
self and to Others. But he can not
reach his highest usefulness without
good health and he can not have good
health without pure blood. The blood
circulates to every organ and tissue
and when 1t is pure, rich and healthy
1t carries health to the entire system,
but If it is impure it scatters disease
wherever 1t flows. Hoods Sarsaparilla
is the one true blood purifier. It cures,
salt rheum, scrofula, oatarrh, dyspep-
sia and rheumatism because these dis
eases have their origin in the blood.

THE extra session and its legislation
will accomplish nothing but grievous
addition to the humiliation, distress
and oppressive burdens of the people,
while doubtlessly the bigger part of
the "unearned increment" will be
equitably apportioned among the hash
shops, saloons and Joints" of Nash
vile. In East Tennessee the wheat al
most entirely failed, the corn crop is
unusually short, hogs and cattle are
scarce, the price of farm products have
slumped far below the cost Of produc-
ton, money has disappeared from the
rural districts, the banks where il is
boarded have no accommodation for the
needy, and how the common people
are to pay the present rate of taxation
the good Lord only knows. Under ex-
isting condition, to which the country
is solely indebted to the Democratic
party, the increase of tax rate is practi-
cal confiscation and consciencelessr rob.
berry. The impoverished tax payers
may depend upon it that the tax rate
will be increased. The thieving gang
that counted in" the Old Fraud who
regularly draws Gov. Evans salary,
are still ready, willing and anxious to
do the bidding of this shameless usur-
per, and former events have proved
there is no limit to their recklessness,
daring, and disregard of decency and
the rights and interests of the people.
So the tax payers may prepare them
selves for additional distress and i'm

ing.
