OFF INA FEW DAYS.
That Is the Impression of AtIantn's
Carpenters strike.

Atlanta, July l2.-Whie the ex-
pected conference between the mill men
and contractors and the Building Trades
Council, has not yet materialized, the in
dications are that the carpenters strike
will be declared off in few days.
A meeting of the Building Trades Coun-
ell and, the Carpenters District Council
was held this morning. Some. of the
members were in favor of declaring a
general strike of all the building trades
and others favored calling the strike off
arguing that everything had been done
within their power to estab lish the de-
maRds of the carpenters, and that further
effort along this line was futile.
1t was claimed that a general increase
of wages had been secured by the strik-
ers, as well as those who remained a.
work; that carpenters were now, in near
~ all cases receiving 81 per day; that
two sections OF the demands, the eight
hour day and recognition of the Union,
could not be gained at this time.
This mornings meeting adjourned with
out taking definite action either way but
the impression is that the strike will be
declared off in few days.

to so to the Chinese war with a months
notice. He regards the situation in the
Far East as very grave.
He said to-day: The affairs in China
have taken on very serious aspect, and
there is no telling what will be the result
The reports are very conflicting, and
from what can be learned, great inter
national war may result Georgia could
put 10000 or more troops in the field with
IN months time, and they would be
good ones too. We can act on the minute
when IL comes to a call for troops"
The Governor said to-day he would not
be able to comply with the request of
the teachers of the state to give them
their pay monthly. Speaking of resolu-
tons adopted at recent meeting in
GAINESVILLE. in which it was urged that
money for teachers be promptly forth,
coming, he said the action of the teachers
was entirely out of place as the state
had been doing every thing possible to pay
the educators

Death From n Pistol.
Brunswick, Ga, July John g. Camp
hell. proprietor OF the Continental Saloon.
and one of Brunswick's best known young
citizens, was found dead early this morn
ing. shot through the head.
The body was discovered by Jack Shep-
pard the proprietors partner. When
Sheppard came down 70 the bar, he found
a pistol lying in front of the counter and
the door open. while the store was empty.
Sheppard began investigating the mat
ter and found Campbell lying behind the
counter in a pool of blood A physician
was hurriedly summoned and found
Campbell beyond hope of recovery. He
died later.
Campbell was related to the Reppards
of Savannah, eX-Mayor Spear of Bruins
wick, and other prominent families in
the state. He bore an excellent reputa>
toin for honesty and sobriety, and had no
cause for killing himself, as far as known,
which has raised the theory of accidental
death. He was a great sufferer from ex
cessve cigarette smoking, but having
passed through a violent and critical III
ness. due TO the habit. it was thought
he had recovered his mind and health al
most completely.
1t is stated tonight that relatives OF
Campbell will contest the coroner's jury's
verdict of suicide and demons rate that
his death was due to an accident. The de-
ceased carried an accident insurance pol
Icy in the Fidelity and Casualty Company
for Sc, 1000, and this policy will enter large
ly into the fiual decs on as 10 whether

a proposition can be put through that will

1t is understood here that ten associa-
tons are anxious to get in the circuit,
and this will mean a total purse list of
about Sl2, 900 for the cracks of the turf to
race for this fan and winter.

W HAT DIR j. ID. READ SAYS Oh
SUWANEE

Il have known the beneficial effects
of Suwanee water for rheuma tism and
govt for many years. l mention these
TWO diseases because I have had occasion
to observe the action of the water on them
The action of the water drank in large
quantities is peculor After six or eight
days drinking of the water freely the
disease seems to be very much aggrava-
ted and pains are intense; at the same
time the secretion from the kidneys is
enormously increased. This lasts for four
or five days. and then with the same
treatment of drinking of the water con-
tinued improvement starts in. The class
of diseases seem to be most benefited in
which this condition of increa sed pains is
most severe. The cause of this is to me
evident The constant drinking of the
water in large quantities renders soluble
the irritating material which is the cause
of these troubles; in this condition the
soluble material is rapidly carried off by
the kidneys and the system is freed from
this poisonous matter. The improvement
in many of these case is permanent;
in others, relief continues until the system
again becomes charged with morbid ma
terial. l hope the continued use of the
water at home as a beverage will be
sufficient to prevent this recurrence of
disease"
