The twentieth Century Policy.

The greatest accident policy written to-
day is that OF the Aetna Life Insurance
Company and is rightly called the
Twentieth Century Combination Accident
Policy. II pays double benefits under a
wider range of everyday assets than any
other Accident Company. Double benefits
paid for all accidents caused by railroads,
street cars. bicycles. burning building
elevators and steamboats,. Weekly indem-
nifty is payable every two months. during
disability until payments equal the full
principal sum insured.
In addition to this the Aetna pays in
demnity for total or partial disability.
Especial provision is made for many
shings not usually covered by accident
policies, such as sunstroke. freezing as
saults, asphyxiation. injuries without ex-
ternal marks, etc, etc.
The Aetna puts this new policy forward
as the most liberal ever offered the pub
lie. The Aetna is big company with as
sets OF over $50 900 and pays all losses
promptly and wlthout contest. Mr.. G.. s.
Haines is the general agent OF the com
pany and can be reached by telephone
No. 100.

Dan Williams Entered Pleas to In
iictments for Forgery.

Dan Williams entered pleas of guilty
to two indictments, charging him with
forgery in the Superior Court yesterday,
accompanying his acknowledgment of guilt
with an appeal to the mercy OF the court.
Judge Falligant imposed a sentence of
fine OF 800 and costs or a term Of six
months on the changing in each case.
Dan is the former messenger in the
county Court House, who assisted Phoe-
nix Williams in forging the name of jan
itor BARLEY Donovan to orders for their
salaries, which they negotiated with money
lenders in the city. Dams populations
were of small amounts and Judge Falli-
giant doubtless felt that his fall was due
TO the influence of Phoenix, who is the
more skilful and accomplished rogue. He
has proved il by evadng the officers of
the law and remaining at liberty.
The financial operations of Phoenix
Williams were on more extensive scale.
Net only had he beaten the money lend
ers right and left. but he wound up his
criminal career here by forging the name
OF Capt. John r. Dillon as indorser on a
note. This he negotiated and got the
money, but the bank officials detected the
forgery Az sufficient length OF time before
Williams departure to make him return
the cash.

MUSIC AT LAWTON MEMORIAL.
Interesting Entertainment of Songs
REGULATIONS and Sketches.

An interesting and artistic musical and
dramatic recital was given at the Lawton
Memorial last night by Mrs. E. E. Rollins
and Miss Margaret May Nicholson, as
sisted by Messrs. A. b. Green, J. Nor
ton Oemler, c. D. McCardel and Walter
Cler and Prof. Wiegand.
The entertainment began with a very
clever sketch, my Uncle's WILL" by s.
There Smith, in which Mrs. Rollins, Mr.
Green and Mr.. Oemler took part. The
plot of the sketch is well conceived and
the lines are witty. The players entered
most heartily into its spirit and acquit-
ted themselves admirably
Mr.. c. ID. McCardel sang the Song of
the Forge from Robin Hood, and later
on the programme, I'm King Ger Land
and Sea-" He~achieved his usual success
and was warmly applauded, but refused
to respond 10 the encore.
Sacred Is the Weeping" Canto di
Leila, Won Suppe, sung 10y Miss Nichol-
son with violin obligato by Prof. Wiegand
was another number that scored a de-
cided hit. Miss Nicholson has an excel
lent voice, of great range and power, and
her numbers were sung with a taste and
finish that drew forth the Most generous
applause. Her other songs were, "Adieu,
Marie" Adams; Sweetheart Sigh No
More" Lynes. and the Lullaby from
Jocelyn, GODDARD. To the last named there
was also a violin obligato by Prof. Vie
gand. Mrs. Rollins recited How Ruby
Played" by request, and also gave the
court scene from Henry Will" The two
selections are the opposite poles of dra-
matte literature, but Mrs. Rollins display
ed her versatility, and artistic perception
and ability by making hit in each.
Prof. Wiegand played a violin solo, Sc
lected and 20 an encore gave the Inter-
mezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana."
Mr.. Green recited admirably the we'll
known but ever popular Dream of Eu-
gene Aram."
The vocal numbers were accompanied
on the piano by Mr.. Cler.

LEAGUERS GOING TO ATLANTA.
To Attend the Southern States Con-
ference Next Month.

ference Next Month.
The southern conference of the Ep-
worth League will be held in Atlanta,
July 25 to 20 inclusive. This conference
is the result of a decision reached at
the last International Conference held
last year at indianapolis that the Inter-
national Conference could be improved
both in the way of securing greater at
tendance and also in the work accom-
plished were il not so large and unwieldy.
and if IL were not necessary for some of
the attendants to come from such great
distances. Hence it was decided that the
international feature be abandoned and
that Canada, and the northern and
southern states should each hold separ-
ate conferences.
This will be the first conference held
since this decision was made. There Is no
doubt that il will be a success both from
points of numbers and work accomplished
as already there has been developed a
great interest in 1t throughout Southern
states from California to Maryland, near
Nv all of which will be represented by some
Of their leaguers. While the programme
of the conference has not yet been complet-
Cd already some of the best known speak
ers of the country have promised to be
present and take a part In the exercises.
The conference was discussed in all OF
the local branches of the Epworth League
in Savannah last night Many Of the
L,eaguers have already expressed their IN
tention of being present, and as many
more will probably decide later to go, there
is little doubt that Savannah will be very
well represented.

A POPULAR MISTAKE,
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepxia
and Indigestion


The national disease Of Americans is in
digestion or in its chronic form, dyspep-
STA, and for the very reason that IL ia so
common many people neglect taking prom
er treatment for what they consider tri-
ming stomach trouble. when as a matter of
fact, indigestion lays the foundation for
many lncurable diseases. No person with
vigorous, healthy stomach win fall
victim to consumption. Many kidney dis
eases and heart troubles date their begin
ming from poor disestion; thin. nervous
people are really SO because their stom-
achs are out of gear; weary, languid
taded out women owe their condition 10
imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion II IL not
surprising that nearly every secret patent
medicine OH the market claims to be a
cure for dyspepsia, as we'll as a score OF
other troubles, when in fact, as DR.
Werthier says, there is but one genuine
dyspepsia cure which is perfectly safe
and reliable, and moreover, this remedy is
not patent me dicine, but II lis a scien-
tlnc combination of pure pepsin (free
from animal matter) vegetable essences
lrult salts and bismuth. 1t is sold by
druggists under the name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets. No extravaganza
claims are made for them, but for indi-
gestion or any stomach trouble. Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead of any
remedy yet discovered. They act on the
food eaten, no dieting is necessary, simp-
~ cat all the wholesome food you want
and these tablets will digest it, cure
results, because all the stomach needs is
rest which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
give by doing the work of digestion

the work of the enumerators. The TWEEN
ty-one firemen and the eighty-four men,
bers OF their families make a total num-
Der greater than the entire membership
OF the fire department
Mayor Myers forwarded the figures to
supervisor Blum with the request that he
give the matter such attention and inves-
igation as he may deem proper. Mr.
Blum has not had time TO do this as yet
but casual glancing over the report of
the f1re superintendent showed that it was
not without errors. Taking the first name
on the list and looking it up in the sched-
uie Of the enumerator for that district
Mr.. Blum found that not only had the
party named been enumerated, but
that eleven other people in the
same house with him had also
been recorded by the enumerator
He expects as he goes through the lists
10 find a considerable percentage of those
reported to have been already enumerated.
AT the same time he expects to find
good percentage who have been overlooked
and will see that they are given prompt
attention.
Supt. Screven stated last night that he
had just made up his report and would
place it in the hands of the Mayor this
morning. The investigation by the police
does not show anything like the results
obtained by the members of the depart
ments of fire and public works Supt.
Screven said that his reports showed only
two houses occupied by policemen where
the names had not been enumerated and
one policeman living In a house where the
family had been enumerated. Apparently
the policemen, or their families, were more
easily found by the enumerators than the
other city employees.

WILL INCREASE PRICE OF BRooMs.
Broom Corn Crop short and None
Planted in south,

kAuhteU IN SOutns
The NATION, ILL.,, Journal, one of the
papers devoted to broom corn raising in
the West. publishes interviews with sew
eral of the largest broom corn farmers,
and every condition goes to show that
broom corn instead of being lower this
fall will undoubtedly go much higher in
price.
The reasons are manifold" says che
Journal" foremost, there will be an act
ual decrease in acreage over last years
crop, which you know was insufficient to
meet the demand. This shortage in acre
age Is due to the fact that farmers were
frightened out OF planting The newspa-
pers all over the West have been shouting
all winter about flood and over-acreage
Of broom corn this season, and this,
coupled with the fact that travelling men
are advising farmers that broom corn
wouldn't be worth ten dollars per ton
this fall, has all had its effect. The regu-
lar broom corn farmers, not desiring to
enter into the business on such an I'M
profitable scale, have either cut their
acreage In half or not planted at all.
Reports from Kansas, and in fact the
entire West, report greatly reduced
acreage. The biggest standard county in
broom corn raising McPherson) shows a
decrease of Is per cent. 1t looks very much
as II broom corn will be higher, and con-
sequentiy brooms will increase accord
ingly.''
An effort has been made for the past
several years to induce Southern farm
ers to grow broom corn, but without sue
cess. Any soil that will grow ordinary
corn or cotton will produce a good yield
of broom corn, which, at the present
price, is better paying crop than cotton.
