CANDIDATES AT WASHINGTON.
One of Candidates for Judge Is De-
Tending Two Murdercrs.

Washington, Ga. Nov. 10-The four can
didates for solicitor and the three for judge
of the circuit are here at court, shaking
hands with their friends Hon. Horace
Holder, one OF the candidates for judge
is handicapped by the fact that he was
appointed counsel for Perry and Taylor
who were condemned to be hanged, and
for whom he obtained a new trial. He
says that he knows it is injuring him, but
it is his duty to look after the interests
of those negroes. He is not getting cent
for it,
Some murmurs on the streets were
heard when Perry and Taylor were
brought back, but no damage is anticipat-
ed unless they were to escape hanging,
which, in the eyes of all the lawyers and
most of the citizens. they do not deserve.
1t is rimored that the judge has already
obtained Gov. Gamblers order to call out
the Irwin Guards, and will use il if neces-
sary.
The Floyd will case, in which the estate
of John D. Floyd, who died without heirs,
was claimed by Green Of Eatonton, was

No EFFECT WITHOUT A CAUSE.

No EFFECT WITHOUT A CAUSE.
This is true, yet for many
ages no one could account for
the mysterious and excruciating
pains that, seemingly without
sufficient cause, tortured the
hapless sufferer, and oftentimes
twisted his limbs out of all
semblance to humanity.
Science, however, has at
length solved this problem, and
has proclaimed rheumatism,
in all its varied phases, is due to
uric acid in the blood.
Hence, when one is afflicted
with rheumatism he knows there
is too much acid in his blood.
How does this happen. 1t
must be the blood's purifiers,
the liver, and especially the
kidneys, are out of order and do
not properly perform their
functions.
But how can they be restored
to their normal healthy state
Hundreds of thousands of CRATE
full, and now healthy, people will
endorse the answer:
Use Warmers Safe Cure, which
will check an excess of acid,
dissolve the acid deposit, and
produce a normal and healthy
condition of the kidneys and
liver, and then, the cause being
removed, the rheumatism will
quickly disappear.

THE BUILDING AND LOAN TAX.
Objection Made ny Augustans-SOme
Supreme Court Bills.


Atlanta, Nov 1O.-The Joint Tax Com
mission of the Senate and House to-day
! gave an audience to representative CHI
| zens Of Augusta on the building and loan

egation consisted Of Maj ]. C. c. Black,
Judge W. F. Eve and Messrs. Young.
| Derry and Mulherin.
Their object was TO get the commission
TO strike the provision taxing building and

| these companies was an injustice and that
| if 1t was allowed 10 stand, il would drive
| the Augusta companies out Of the bust
ness altogether as they were barely able
| under present conditions to earn even very
small dividends They also contended
that il would be paramount to double
tax as the borrowers were required to pay
tax on their indebtedness.
