LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors - How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out Of his
blood and it has never since returned"
WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams st.,
South Bend, Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

Sudden Death of Mrs. II. r. Russell.
An Accident on n Hunt

Augusta, Ga. Nov. S.-When members of
the family entered the room of Mrs H
f. Russell this morning she was found
dead in her bed, and is supposed to have
died a few hours previous to the discovery
She was in her accustomed health when
she retired last night, and her DEATH
which her physician says resulted from
heart disease was a great shock, not only
to her own family, but to the community.
Less than week ago Mrs. Russell re-
turned from an extended visit to her two
daughters Mrs Washburn of Boston and
Mrs. Cole of Nashville, Tenn, seemingly
in the best of health.
Mrs Russell was the widow of Henry r.
Russell, an eX-mayOr of Augusta, and
man universally loved and respected She
was &c years old and leaves six children,
Mrs. Cole of Nashville, Mrs Washburn
of Boston, Mrs. Mobly, Mrs. Dibrell and
Miss Nodie Russell of this city, and James
Russell of Atlanta
A young man named Jessie Virgins
went out shooting with a companion NAM
ed James Wall to-day. An accidental dis
charge of his gun sent a load of shot
through his left arm, near the shoulder
tearing the flesh entirely from the bone
He was taken to the city hospital Ior
treatment.
The remains of Forest Fitzgerald, a
flagman on the Georgia railroad reached
the city tonight. He was killed at Social
Circle to-day, having fallen on the track
and had both of his legs cut off, from
which he died, in spite of efforts to save
his life by the surgeons of the road.

the present administration there. He said
the people are tired of the misapplication
of the government appropriation, which
should go TO an agricultural college, and
the legislature is sure to separate the two
institutions. He thinks this $4,000 should
be used for technical school, and favors
the consolidation of the agricultural col
lege and the state school of technology
If this is done, he would be willing to vote
an appropriation of $4,000 direct TO the
university, he says.
Tomorrow Gov. Atkinson will send a
special message to the legislature on the
school book question. 1t. is understood
that 1t will not be unalterably in favor

COMMISSIONS OF THE CITY.
HOUSE PASSES THE BILLS FOR
THEIR ABOLITION.

The Fight Now Transferred to the
Senate-SenatOr Geiger to Do His
Utmost to Defeat Them-The Chat
ham County Delegation In the
Lower House Confident 1t VIII BE
Able to Get the Bills Through the
senate Despite Mr.. Geiger's Appeal
to Senatorial Courtesy.
Atlanta, Ca, Nov. S-The four anti
commission bills from Savannah. which
have been pending in the House since last
session, were passed without dissent to-
day, and the Savannah fight will be COM
mehced in The Senate. The bills abolish
the fire commission, the police commission,
tho water commission and the board of
assessors, the duties now being performed
by each being reinvested in the mayor
and aldermen, where they rested prior to
the rise of the Citizens Club.
As stated, there was no opposition to
the passage of the bills In the House. but
they will not go through the Senate with
the same facility, although there Is good
ground for the prediction that the upper
house will ultimately pass them.
As is well known, Senator Geiger is op-
posed to the anti-commission bills, and
will do all he can to defeat them in the
Senate by using the argument of Senate
rial courtesy" The Senate is beginning
to understand the situation in Savannah,
however, and, unless present sentiment is
misleading, Senator Geiger will be turned
down, and the unanimous request of the
savannah delegation in the House and the
municipal government will prevail The
only hope of defeating the bills is that
senatorial courtesy will be observed, for
so Tar the argument has all been on the
side of the House delegation
AS soon as the bills are read in the SEN
ate, they will be referred to a committee
and then both sides will have a hearing
Mayor Meldrim and the other Chatham
members do not have much to say about
the outlook, but they are confident they
Will whip the fight, both with the four
DIS which passed the House to-day and
the bill just introduced abolishing the
commissioner of public works.
DR.. Ducan to-day introduced another
Dill which bears on local politics of Sa-
Vannah, making another chapter in the
Cltizens-Liberal Club fight over the offices
1t provides for the repeal of the act pass
ed by the legislature when the Citizens
Club was in the saddle prohibiting one
man from holding two offices in Chatham
county. The act was aimed at Capt.
John II. Dillon, receiver of tax returns
and clerk of the board of county commits
sioners, who was ousted by it, If the bill
introduced to-day passes, and it probably
will, these two offices may be filled by the
same man again.
