A Life and Death Fight.

Mr.. w. A. Hines of Manchester, Ia.
writing of his almost miraculous escape
from death, says: Exposure after
measles induced serious lung trouble,
which ended in Consumption. [ had
frequent hemorrhages and coughed night
and day. All my doctors said I must
soon die. Then began to use DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption, which
completely cured me. | would not be

MILITARY FUND WAS REDUCED
Though Gov. Gambler Yet Hopes Fol-
Full Amount.

Georgia's snare OF the governments
appropriation to the national guard
will be short 81, 900 this year. Gov.
Gambler has been notified that Geor-
gia's pro rata Will be $22, 900. The
Georgia appropriation was expected to
be $50, 900. The Governor has been
informed that the reason the entire
appropriation has not been divided out
is because the War Department thought
best to reserve 5000, 900 to be used at
another time. A full appropriation
would give the state 500, ZOO, or more
than twice as much as was ever re-
ceived before. The appropriation TO
the states for the mainten ance of the
militia is not made in money, but in
equivalent values in uniforms, arms or
accoutrements. In this way the
troops of the variou tates supply
themselves with whatever they need.
In order to uniform the troops of the
six regiments in the state, Gov. Can
dler was compelled to draw on the
government appropriation for 1900 to
the extent of 81, 900. This leaves to
Georgia's credit with the government
: only 81, 900. Gov. Gambler is in com
munioation with the War Department
relative to Gsorgia's share in the mill
tary fund, and it is possible that he
may obtain consent to draw on the
government to the full amount of the
appropriation to Georgia, of 500, 600.

CAN PEACHES ON PLANTATION
AnSAmericus Man viii Make Money
That Way.

A progressive citizen of Americus,
who owns fine fruit farm near town,
is going to establish home industry
that will fill his pockets with dollars
and furnish an object lesson for others.
He proposes next season to put up a
cannery in his orchard and utilize in
this way all the fruit grown there. he
has had some slight experience, and
knows that there is good money to be
made canning fruit, for which there is
always a demand If others here would
do likewise there would be no cause
for complaint against the dishonesty
of some brokers in the north and west,
for the fruit crop here could be dis
posed of to better advantage.
