ORGANIC CHANGES
The wholesome process of secretion
by the use of Carlsbad Water.

Prof. Hlawazek, an authority
on stomachic diseases says: "What
we have positively ascertained is,
that Carlsbad Water in a high
degree promotes organic changes
in the system; that principally by
its alkaline constituents, it acts as
an absorbent of fat and as an
antacid throughout the organism,
and that it performs this whole
some action by stimulating, aug
menting and chemically altering
the whole process of secretion"
Beware of limitations. The gen
uine Carlsbad Water and Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt must have the seal
of the City of Carlsbad and the
signature of "Eisner & Mendelson
Co., sole agents, New York" on
every label.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 27.-The sub-commit-
tee that went to Sapelo Island last week
to see how it would do as a site for pc
nal colony, returned to Atlanta to-day.
On Thursday the committee will meet

them, draft bill and by Oct 10, send cop
les of it out to all members of the general
penitentiary committee.
1t is said there was only one member of
the subcommittee that went TO Sapelo who
was in favor of the penal island plan when
the trip was undertaken. How they now
stand is known only among themselves
for they will not commit themselves one
way or the other They all had a good
time they say 1t is believed, however,
that there has not been any change in
ideas. The committee did not go to Os-
sabaw Island, but Mr.. II. r. Harper of
Rome, who represents the owners of that
property, was in the city to-day with a
roll of maps, charts and plans to show

ONE IN EVERY FOUR.
One Person in Every Four suffers
From PILES.

One Person in Every Four suffers
From PILES.
About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching
piles indicated by warmth, slight moist
ure and intense, uncomfortable itching in
the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some SIM
pie ointment or saIve which sometimes
give temporary relief, but nothing like
permanent cure can be expected from
such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but for
every other form Of piles, blind, bleeding
or protruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the continued use
for short time causes a permanent re-
moval of the tumors or the small parasites
which cause the intense itching and dis
comfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afforded
by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because it
was supposed to contain cocaine, opium
or similar drugs, bat such is not the case
A recent careful analysis of the remedy
showed 1t to be absolutely free from any
poisonous, injurious drugs whatever. Sold
by druggists at 80 cents per package.

GAME WILL BE PROTECTED.

fsh O6enders-MisceIIan Notes.
Ocala, Fla, Sept 26.-The game law of
this county has proven a great benefit to
the sports, and the game as well, but for
which there would hardly be enough quail
in our woods for a good days hunt. AS
1t is, the woods and fields are literally
covered with quail, while the swamp of
the Ochlawaha river will afford some good
sport this season with deer and turkey,
and It was the interest taken in the en-
forcement of this law that secured such
crowd to gather at the court house Sat
urday to hear the trial of a man who had
been accused of killing deer out of season.
The facts showed it to be only malicious
prosecution, and the defendant was dis
charged. A case that promises to be of
more than usual interest of a like nature
will be brought before the courts in
short time against one of our county COM
missioners, who is also charged with the
violation of this law
There are 175 members of the Marion
county protective game law who propose
to see that justice is melted out to all VIC
lators of this law.

CHARLESTON EMANCIPATED.
Gov. EIerbe Removes the Yoke of

Gov. EIerbe Removes the Yoke of
Political Police From Her Neck.
Charleston, S. c., Sept. N.-The an
nouncement that Gov. Ellerbe had issued
a proclamation removing the metropolitan
police system from Charleston, was re-
ceived with great rejoicing throughout the
city to-day
The action on the part of the governor
was not wholly unexpected. but it was
none the less gladly received on that &C
count. He has all along declared himself
to be opposed to the system, because it
violated the principle of self government,
and it was generally known that it was
only a question Of time before he would
end ii.
The system was inaugrated by Gov.
Evans on Jan. Is, 1896, in order to retain
j. Gilmore Martin in office as chief of po-
lice here, and for other political purposes,
and the people of Charleston have never
forgiven him for it,.
It will be remembered that when Evans
ran for the Senate again Earle In 1896, it
was the Charleston vote which practically
defeated him.
Mayor Smythe says that he has not con-
sidered the matter of reorganizng the
force here, but it is certain that the shak-
ing up will be a complete one Martin
will surely go and most of his lieutenants
and other helpers and henchmen will fol-
low him.

NEGRO DIES SUDDENLY.
Mother Let Her Babe Drop and Fell
Back Dead.

DtaAs
The coroner was summoned at u O'Clock
last night by the report of a negro having
dropped dead IN a house on Anderson
street. He went out to investigate and
found that the man was William Miller,
who had fallen and soon after expired in
the hallway of the residence connected
with the store at the corner of Anderson
and Habersham street.
Coroner Goette learned that Miller, who
was % years old, had been for a long
while in the habit of using opium. He
had acquired the habit while working in
several drug stones of the city in the ca
pacity of porter. After leaving the drug
stores the desire did not grow any less,
and in his place as the porter for the
store on Anderson street, he found that
he could not overcome the habit. 1t was
said that he was almost constantly under
the influence of the drug, and it was to
it's excessive use that the coroner attrib-
uted his death.
Instances of persons dying suddenly
have been rather frequent with the cor
oner of late. Early in the morning he
was summoned to ThunderbOlt to consider
the case of the death of Mrs. A. J. Tor
ley, who had died very suddenly. He
learned that she had been sick for quite
a while from consumption and assigned
that disease as the cause of the death
