During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and mer-
chants of Clay, Clay Co., ". Va, struck
his leg against cake of ice in such man
ner as to bruise it severely. 1t became
very much swollen and panied him so
badly that he could not walk without the
aid of crutches He was treated by physi-
clans, also used several kinds Of liniment
and two and half gallons of whisky in
bathing it, but nothing gave any relief
until he began using Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. This brought almost a complete
cure in weeks time and he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg would
have had to be amputated. Pain BALM is I'M
equaIed for sprains, bruises and rheumatism.

NOT RUN BY THE SOUTHERN.
The Georgia Central an Independent
Road, President Spencer Declares.

Macon, Ga, Nov. 21.-President Sam
uel Spencer, of the Southern Railway.
was the star witness today in the hear
ireg Of the injunction sjnt of certain
Macon merchants against the Southern
Tile most important and surprising
statement made by Spencer was that
his road did not own q dollars worth
of stock i'm the Central railway Of
Georgia and never had; that his hold
ing consisted of one share Of stock
which was necessary to qualify him as
a director.
In reply to a question regarding a
speech he mad made in Savannah, in
which he assured the people that they
had nothing to fear from the Southern :
ownership of the Central, he said that
the statements had been made ut Il
time when q deal was pending which
he felt justified them, but the deal had
fallen through.
Asked whether he did not really die
tate the policy of the Georgia Central,
he replied that he did not T. President
Conner sometimes acted on lis advice,
bnt frequently did Things against his
vigorous opposition.
Mr.. Spencer stated that his road
owned 1900 of the 27,000 shares of
the Georgia Southern and Florida stock,
but admitted that while minority stock
holder. by an alliance, the Southern did
control the road and he was in IA p0-
sition to dictate its policy. The South
cd'n owned the Atlantic and Florida and
Georgia Midland and Gulf. 1t owned
the bonds of the Macon and Birming-
ham and expected ultimately to control
the property. These roads, he main-
tanned, were not competing lines in tie
meaning of Georgia legislation.
The policy of the Southern was not to
buy UP comTS Stitors, but to secure com
troll of such lines as would supplement
and round out the system. The result
Of this policy, he claimed, was not to
diminish competition, but to build up the
properties secured and to develop the
territory they covered.
Some evidence was taken showing A-4e
coed effect of the Southern's develop
ment ON local conditions at Macon and
the hearing was adjourned A date will
be fixed tomorrow for the taking OF
further testimony.

That the people of North Carolina
never intended to give this power to

by the Forty-mnth Congress. The main
features follow:
BE it enacted, etc, that in the case
of removal, death, resignation or inabil-

disability of the President or Vice-Pres-
ident is removed. or President shall be
elected"
The law further provides that when
one Of the above Cabinet officers sue
ceedS to the Presidency, he shall call a
special session of Congress. A proviso
limits the succession to those who would
be eligible to the Presidency under the
terms of the Constitution, and who have
been appointed with the advice and con-
