HENRY GARDINER HANGED
The First Drop Proved Unsuccessful
 and the Man Was Ulhurt

Mobile, Ala, September 15.-fenry Gardi- her, coored, paid the death penalty on the gallows in the county jail here today
 The crime which Gardiner was convicted of was that of carnal knowledge of little Lester Farrell, committed last February in this city. and for which he was sen- fenced to hang thirty days ago prior to which time, however, the governor granted a respite
 A shocking and sickening scene Was wit messed by the officers in charge of the hanging, and press representatives, during the expiation of the dastardly crime When the hangman pulled the trigger, the body shot through the opening below and struck the ground, the moose having slipped clear of the knot.
 The condemned negro remained upon the ground unconscious for a short time and was removed inside the county jail where the attending physicians made q nasty ex animation of the body. There il was found that only the neck had been slightly hurt by the rope.
 lie was strengthened up, taken to the galloWs and placed thereon again. The trigger was sprung in similar manner as before. This time the rope caught un- derneath the negro's arms and caused strangulaton. The hangman quickly re- leased the rope and Gardiner fell the full distance. His neck had been broken.
 The rope was thoroughly tested in ad- vance of the hanging and the accident Is nothing short of a miracle.

OLEoMARGAaINE CRUSADE.
The Agricultural Department of Geor-
 gia Will Take Up the Mater

Atlanta, Ga, September 15.--In compli- ance with requests from farmers and dai- rymen in all parts of the state, the agri- cultural department of Georgia has decided to begin a vigorous campaign against the sale of oleomargarine in this state.
 It is claimed by those who supply tho markets of Atlanta and other cities in the state with butter that their traffic is be- ing destroyed by the sale of oleomargarine, which commands half the price, butter be- ing 25 cents per pound. The subject of the sale of the oleomargarine in the southern states will probably be brought before the state convention, which convenes here next month.

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad. vanced years are realized by compara- lively few women.
 Their hard lives, their liability to se- rious troubles on account of their pecu- liar organism and their profound igno- rance concerning themselves, all com bine to shorten the period of usefulness and fill their later years with suffering.
 Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make women strong. She has given advice to many that has shown them how to guard against disease and retain vigor- ous health in old age From every cor ner of the earth there is constantly com. ing the most convincing statements from women, showing the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com. pound in overcoming female ills. Here is letter from Mrs. J. c. Orms, of 22o Horner St., Johnstown, Pa., which is earnest and straight to the point:
 DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel it my duty to tell all suffering women that I think your remedies are wonderful. I had trouble with my head, dizzy spells and hot flashes. Feet and hands were cold, was very nervous, could not sleep, well, had kidney trouble, pain in ovaries and congestion of the womb Since taking your remedies am better every way My head trouble is all gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am cured of womb trouble. l can eat and sleep well and am gaining in flesh. consider your medicine the best to be had for female troubles"
 The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi- ence in treating female ills is unparal- lelled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkhsm,, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as hundred thousand ailing women during a single year

 While there is a large output from the furnaces here, it would be much greater if they were not all in need of refining. This is particularly the case with the bit tie Belle which is so greatly in need of refining that it can be run to only about one-fourth of its capacity. It would be closed down for repairs were not the de- mand for iron so great.
