BAD TREATMENT OF INSANE NEGRO.
He was Sent From Henry County in Pen
 nyIess Condition.

At an early hour yesterday morning Uriah. Beasley, an old negro. applied to Nighf Warden Mclaughlin. at the county jail for permission to place. Wm. Collins, an insane negro in his charge. in the jail until the departure of the afternoon tran for Tuscaloosa.
 Beasley said that he had been sent from Henry county to take Williams to the state insane asylum at Tuscaloosa, but that he had only been given enough money to pay actual railroad fare and had no money to pay the jail fee.
 His charge was bound hand and foot with strings and was stretched out on a mat tress having been brought from the depot on a baggage wagon.
 Beasley had no papers to authorize the sheriff to receive the man-sand Warden Mclaughlin telephoned to Sheriff O'Brien and explained the circumstances. The sheriff told him that he had no auth rity to receive the man, but for humanity's sake he would allow him to be placed in the jail. Accordingly the negro was talk en in and placed upon cot, but in his delirium he kept rolling off and finally was placed upon a mattress on the floor.
 In a short time 1t was discovered that the negro was in a precarious condition and the county physician was telephoned for Dr. Shoemaker responded and when he saw the negro he stated that he was dying and gave 1t as his opinion that ne would hardly live through the day.
 Several of the prisoners were detailed to look after tine man.
 An Age-Herald reporter saw him at the county jail yesterday afternoon and the sight was suggestive of the starving re- concentrates of Cuba, as depicted by the artists who have visited that belated land during the past six months. He was strip ped to the waist and his arms and body were terribly emaciated and he was ap- parently in the throes of death.
 Beasley was told to come for the man

at 3:SO o'clock in the afternoon to take him to Tuscaloosa. but it was afterwards discovered that it would be impossible to remove the man. He did not show up, however and it was learned that he had been ''touched' for his money while stroll ing around the city. W
 Sheriff O'Brlen is indignant at the way in which the negro has been placed Tn ms charge and freely criticises the action or the Henry county officials in sending sick negro to Tuscaloosa in charge or an other negro.
 The law requires that such transfers shall be made by a deputy sheriff, ana provides for the payment of such services from the funds of the county from which the person is sent At a late hour last night the negro was still alive, but 1t is not thought that he will live more than few days.

GEORGIA AND OMAHA.

Every intelligent, patriotic citizen of

sal opportunity offered at the Trans-Miss-
issippi and International Exposition,

It is matter of great regret that we
lost our opportunities at Chicago; not so
much because of Indifference, as because
unfortunately, our constitution does not
authorize the expenditure of public money

BLOOD POISONING.
A Nurses Experience.

There are thousands of people suffering
from blood poisoning who have almost
beggared themselves in buying medicines
from which they have obtained no help.
There are thousands of others who first or
last have tried DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla and
found perfect healing. One of these
others, Mrs. A. F. Taylor, of Englevale,
N. Oak. relates the following experience:
"About two years ago, nursed lady
who was suffering and finally died from
blood poisoning. must have contracted
the disease from her; for shortly after her
death, had four large sores or ulcers,
break out on my person. doctored for a
long time, both by external application
and with various blood medicines; but, in
spite of all that could do, the sores would
not heal. They were obstinate, very pain
ful, annoying; and only getting worse all
ofDr.Ayer's sarsaparilla, thinking would
give it thorough trial. Before the first
bottle was taken, I noticed decided i'm
provement in my general health; my ap-
petite was quickened, and I felt better
and stronger than I had for some time.
While using the second bottle, I noticed
that the sores had begun to look healthier

and to heal. Before the six bottles had
been taken, the ulcers were healed, the
skin sound and natural, and my health
better than 1t had been for years. 1 have
been we'll ever since. had rather have
one bottle of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla than
three of any other kind"
This is but one example of the remedial
value of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla in all
forms OF blood disease. There is no other
blood medicine that cures SO promptly,
SO surely and SO thoroughly. After nearly
half a century of test and trial it is the
standard medicine of the world for all
diseases of the blood. Sores, ulcers, boils.
letter. rheumatism, scrofula and every
other blood disease is durable by DR.. Ayers
Sarsaparilla. The success of this remedy
has caused many limitations to be put on
the market. Imitation remedies work i'm
itation cures. The universal testimony is
that zone bottle of DR.. Ayers sarsaparilia
is worth three of any other kind" If you
are interested in knowing more about this
remedy, get DR., Ayers Curebook, a story
OF cures told by the cured. 1t is sent free
