QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flowed still has the
largest sale of any medE Eine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of un-
digested food regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and oragnic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses Of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by r. L.

(Spicial Telegram

Memphis, Oct. IA special
from Oxford, Miss, says: Lucy
Lection, who brought breach of
promise suit against Senator W..
V. Sullivan, in Washington, D. c.,
Yesterday, was married fifteen
years ago to Thomas Hyde, a
carpenter of this county.
Shortly after her marriage she
and her husband moved to Tenn
pie, Texas, remaining there un-
til about four years ago, when
Mrs. Hyde returned to Oxford.
Hyde sued for divorce in the
Chancery Court Of this county in
1906, and alleges desertion and
other causes. The divorce was
granted, and Hyde still lives in
this county.
Senator Sullivan today gave
out the following statement:
'It is blackmail, pure and sim
pie. This woman has absolutely
no claim on me of any kind.
While in Washington recently an
attempt was made by her and
her abettors to extort money
from me under threat of such a
suit, such as she has now brought.
| declined to entertain such a
proposition. l did not propose to
be robbed. The proof will show
that it is dirty attempt to be-
smlrch my character, which
blackmailing scheme could have
been averted if I had been con-
tent to stand and deliver. ~

A press telegram from Wash

nation:
GA suit for $4,000 damages
for breach of promise against
United States Senator William V.
Sullivan, of Mississippi, was filed
in the District of Co1um bia su~
preme court this afternoon by
Mai Lucy Lection, of Oxford,
Miss. The plaintiff in her affida-
Wit alleges that she, anunmarried
woman, at the request of the de-
fendant, undertook and promised
to marry him, which he, without
cause or right has refused to do.
"The plaintiff claims that she
met Senator Sullivan about OC-
tober 7th, 1895, in his law office
at Oxford, he being employed to
defend her brother-in-law. She
claims that he made prostesta-
tions of affections to her, and be-
gan by wiles and artificesto to induce
her to accompany him on a jour
ney to Chattanooga, Tenn Plain
tiff claims that she refused to go
with him, but allowed him to cor
respond with her. She was at
that time married, but not living
with her husband.
"Plaintiff claims that Senator
Sullivan promised to procure a
divorce for her, and that he
would keep her forever with him,
and that she should occupy as
high a position as any lady in the
land" About Decemb Der /, 1895,
the plaintiff, at the request of the
defendant, went with him to New
Orleans. In January, 1896, ac-
cording to the affidavit filed to-
day, the defendant placed plain
tiff in Nelson's Business College
at Memphis, Tenn, paying her
tuition and board. In May, 1897,
he secured a divorce for her.
"The affidavit then alleges that
on May 10, of that year, plaintiff
and defendant lived together in
Alexandria, Va, as Mr.. and Mrs.
w. L. Sutton, he introducing
plaintiff as his wife. Later he
placed her in the Fauquier Fe-
male Institute in Warrenton, Va,
as his niece, where she remained
from January to June, 1898, the
defendant writing her every day
and promising her he would mar
ry her in the summer.
During this time plaintiff
claims she had an offer of marrl-
age from a young man who lived
near her home and asked the de-
fendant to consent to break OH
their relations. The latter she
claims urged that she should not
marry the young man, but wait
and marry him the following
summer.
"The affidavit also reeites that
the couple lived together in Wash
ington, and that the defendant
finally notified plaintiff that he
was not financially able to marry
her. Also that plaintiff hearing
defendant was i'll in June, 1900,
came to Washington to see him
and found him rooming with a
woman whom he had brought
from Holly Springs, Miss.
