 She called the driver to her assistance and he thoughtlessly turned the horse. In a moment they were dashing down the road with the two ladies in the carriage. Tho horses went at a terrific rate and the ladies decided to jump, which they did, both landing on their heads, being found in the road soon afterwards unconscious. Mrs. Clisby was so seriously hurt that she died about half past 10 o'clock tonight. Mrs. Virgin is critically injured and may not recover. They were brought to their homes last night.

Eugene Wilson Found Dead

George Wilson, 8 street payer, Q colored man, who lived at Mount Meigs, in this county, and who has been at work on the streets in this city for some months, was found dead in the cut on the Central rail- road at Highland park yesterday with his throat cut from ear to ear. The body had been laid by the track and letters were found in his pockets saying that he would commit suicide; but that is not believed, as the cuts could not have been inflicted by him, and there are other circumstances that make it plain that he was murdered.
 Late this afternoon the dead body of negro woman was found in the shrubbery at Highland Park, few hundred yards from where the body of George Wilson was found. It is thought the man murdered her and then shielded.

 Porto Rico fi9s

POSTMASTER LEES REMOVAL CERTAIN Several Aspirants Are Out to
 Succeed Him. A VICTIM OF POLITICIANS It is Said That Ills is ousted Because He Had Not Affiliated With
 the Influential Leaders
 of the Party.
 
A VICTIM OF POLITICIANS

Anniston, May 29.-(Special.)- is lit- tie doubt here now among prominent repub- licans and others but that the removal of Postmaster George S. Lee, now under sus- pension, is a question of only few days and public interest is now turning towards his probable successor. The two men most prominently mentioned in connection with the place are George B. Randolph, now United States commissioner, but who was postmaster under Harrisons administra- tion, and L. T. Smith, chairman of the republican congressional and county execu- tive committees and who was chief clerk for two years under Postmaster Ran- dolph.
 Mr Lee, who has been in Washington nearly ever since his suspension three or four weeks ago, came home last night While the order for his removal has not been issued, MT. Lee says he has little hope of reinstatement The charge against Lee is the embezzlement of $33 and he is under $1,000 bond to answer it in the United States courts. There was a difference of this amount in the salary for three mnoths of a new clerk about which there was a misunderstanding between MT. Lee and the poStoffice department. As soon as the ac- counts for the larger salary allowed by the department were audited and returned, however, MT. Lee and his friends claim that the $33 difference was promptly paid to the clerk and his receipt taken Few people here believe that MT. Lee was guilty of any intentional wrong doing and it is freely charged that it is largely a political scene to oust Lee because he was not at- filiadng satisfactorily with other promi- nent republicans in the state. It is be- ieyed by prominent republicans here that now since Lees removal seems so certain the criminal prosecution against him will be dropped. Te postoffice here pays $2,4G0 a year.

Car Load Receipts

The report of carload receipts. as com piled by the Commercial and Industrial as- sociaton from May to b, shows slight decrease over the same period of last year, and yet that decrease is the most gratify ing part of the report. There were 690 ears last year and 645 cars this year, and most of the falling off is in hay and grain. There was falling off in brick, but an increase in lumber, stone and fertilizers. This is a splendid showing for the surrounding sec tion, and is proof that people arc learn ing more and more to live at nome.

ORNAMENTAL PRESIDENT.
Frdnce's Chic? asaGtstrate Is ReGu-
lated in All OF His Movements
by Etiquette.

If under the French constitution
there is no provision permitting the
president of the republic to be useful,
ample opportunity is afforded him to be
ornamental. The treasury places at
the disposal of the pres ident a yearly
allowance of $3.50, 900, all told, and he
lives in the palace of the Elysee. Be
sides, he is entitled to get his vegetables
and flowers from the palace gardens Of
Versailles and FOntainebleau, and to
ride and hunt in the royal forests. The
details of the presidents daily life are
dictated by an official body known a s le
protocol. 1t is the gentlemen of lie
protocol, presided over by a sort of Off
cial Ward McAllister, who say when
the president shall wear a frock and
when a dress coat, when he shall don
the grand Gordon Of the Legion of
Honor, and when the simple rOsette
when and where he shall attend the
theater, TO whom he shall extend his
hand and to whom he shall merely nod
and the number of kisses he shall be-
stow upon visiting royalty. They Sc
lect, of course, his guests at dinner, and
the menu as well. and it is by a recent
decree of theirs that in the presence OF
the president no one shall speak until
spoken to.

A MOTHERS WORRY
Said to BE Transmitted to the Baby.

The writers of advertisements fire.
quently give some very interesting
aud important facts to the public. In
the directions found in q package of
Marjorie's Baby Food made by the
Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, at Battle
Greek, Mich. was found the follow
ing:
The makers realize that every
mother is anxious about the kind of
food given to her little one, and their
skill has been exercised to prepare
nourishing, palatable and digestible
food for children. The mother can
be assured that she is giving her child
pure, life-sustaining food of the high
est character when she uses Marion
les Baby Food.
The infant has lately been part of
the mothers body and subject to the
mothers nourishment and to the
period after birth the child is still
su biect more or less to the mental con-
dition of the mother. Thousands of
cases are known where the irritation
and worry of the mother is transmit
ted by some not very well understood
process. to the infant not yet able to
talk. Therefore we take this occasion
to earnestly urge mothers to maintain
a quiet, peaceful, happy frame of
mind as far as possible, for the effect
is noticeable upon the child. Both
mother and child are works of
wonderful Creator and are carrying
out wise and beneiicent plan.
Do not allow the demons of worry,
irratability and fretfulness to enter
your world. Feed the best food the
science of man has been able to devise
from the supply an ali wise Creator
has furnished and rest in an easy con-
seriousness that when a mother has
earnestly done the best she knows
how to do, profound and powerful
law of nature is set in operation to
keep such 4 mother out of difficulty,
where human aid alone seems power
less.
Mankind does not know all of the
laws of the Infinite, but the above is
one of the known laws which it is
our right to make use of.
The makers of Marjorie's Baby
Food have succeeded in perfecting "a
naturally predigested food, fully
cooked, that is stirred into cows
milk and prevents the formation of
indigestible curds in the child's stom-
ach. This permits the little one to
enjoy the advantages of cows milk
without the disadvantage of having
to suffer the pangs of indigestion and
the following collie and sickness.
The new food is sold at 10 and 30
cents by druggists and grocers.
a free package will be sent to
mothers or invalids applying by pos
tai card to the Postum Cereal COM
pany, limited, Battle Greek, Mich.
