The following written statement from
the Judge himself sets forth the facts.
Greensboro, Ca, March Sd, 1900.
"Some time ago contracted a severe
cold which settled on my lungs and In
my head. Tried many remedies, all
of which gave me no relief con-
cigded that my case was ca[arrt of the
head and lungs, and seeing Peruna so
highly recommended began using ii,
experiencing the very best results from
the first bottle.
Tconfinued using Peruna for a short
while, and have never felt the least
symptoms of cstarr7 since. Peruna Is
certainly a good medicine, and de-
serves the high praise which Is given
ii by the general public"
Judge Durham has been Secretary and
Treasurer of the city of Greensboro, Ga,
for the past three years, and has been a
local judge for ten years.
Dread Consumption.
There are three roads which lead from
health to consumption. over one of
these roads pass all of that great multi
tude of people who die every year of
consumption. Each route begins with
health and happiness and ends with dis
ease and death.
First road: slight cold-neglected-
tsettles in the head or throat-chronic
catarrh - extends to the lungs - con-
sumption-death.

Catarrh of the Lungs
the First Stage OF
Consumption.
So All M e d / G a |
Authorities Agree.

Judge Durham, a well-known local
Judge of Greensboro, Ga had an exper-
fence with Peruna well worth reeiting.
A report had become current among the
judges friends that he was threatened
with consumption. 1t was feared for u
time that Georgia was to lose one of its
most prominent and influential citizens.
1t was also reported that the Judge
had failed to get any relief from any of
the medical aid at his command, that he
had made use of the now world famous
remedy Peruna, and made a prompt re-
covery. The affair createdquite a sensa-
tion in medical circles especially, and
the many friends of Judge Durham were
not only exceedingly gratified at his re-
covery, but were enthusiastic in their
praises of the remedy that had brought
him relief.
The public importance of the Judge
together with the prominence of his
many friends, as well as the startling
and dramatic features of the unexpected
cure caused one of our leading news
papers to make inquiry into the facts.

Thousands have just started on one OF

Mrs. Eliza Heinzle, POS East Fulton

snow-Drift Compound.

The way in which Snow Drift is forging
to the front is remarkable But short
time ago, common hog lard was all that
house keepers knew they might obtain.
Their preference for Snow Drift is making
the Savannah lard compound popular.
Nearly all grocers handle Snow Drift.
They find that housekeepers demand it,
and they have no trouble in handling the
product. And again il is a Savannah en-
terprise. 1t is made by the Southern Cot
ton Oil Company of this city and the
fadies of Savannah are taking great
deal of interest in making it popular. They
recognize the fact that it is in their power
to make the sale of the Savannah product
larger than any other compound, and they
are pushing 1t. That is they are forcing
their grocers TO keep it by always de-
handing Snow Drift. The Southern Cot
ton Oil Company spends thousands of dol
lars every week in the manufacture of it's
products. and it is but just that they
should be patronized. And they are pat
ronized. And housekeepers are very in
strumental in making it as popular as it
is.-ad

Bound for jacksonville.

While bound out for Jacksonville yes
terdey on relief duty, the reve-
nue. cutter Hamilton colded with
a mud scow in tow of the tug
Kinkora, near where the dredging opera
lions are going on below the city. A hole
three and one-half feet long and about

toms starboard bow. The hole was for
tunately above the water dine.
The Hamilton put back to the city, ar
irving during the afternoon. She tied
up at Rourke & Sons dock. where re-
pairs were at once begun. A force of
hands worked all OF last night. A patch
will be put over the hole as a temporary
arrangement.
The cause of the accident is not known.

NEW ROUTE SATISFACTORY.
Patrons of ThunderbOIt and Collins
Vile Lines Pleased With Change.

General Manager McIntire of the Sa-
vannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railway Company is well pleased with
the change of route made on the Col
linsville and Thunderbolt lines, and says
that it has given perfect satisfaction. The
change was made for the benefit of the
patrons of the road and was mentioned in
the Morning News Friday.
Some complaint has been heard concern
ing the high steps on the summer cars
now in use. Mr.. McIntire said yesterday
that there is no difference between the
new and old cars although he has already
noticed that passengers would find a lower
running board more convenient. The cars
at present and always have been mounted
on 33-inch wheels. Mr. McIntire intends
to replace the present wheels with 3O-iuch
wheels and the distance from the running
board to the ground will be lessened con-
sideraby. This change will be made as
rapidly as possible.

PATROLMAN COFFEE ASSAULTED.
Negro Prisoner Used Officers Club
With Telling Force.


Mounted Patrolman Edward j. Coffee
was badly beaten by a negro prisoner
early yesterday morning The officer is
at his home, at Florence and Thrty-ninth
streets suffering from a half-dozen ugly
wounds on his head. The assault was
made with the patrolmans club and the
negro escaped.
Coffee is a member of the night squad
and was approached by a negro woman
at 2:20 o'clock with the request that he
arrest a man who had attempted to cut
her. The man was on Oak and Russell
streets, locality on the Westside, and
was taken i'm custody by the patrolman,
who started for the Gamewell box with
the negro. Coffee had dismounted and
had only gone a few feet when the ne
gro resisted.
The two men scuffed and fell to the
ground. locked in each others arms. The
negro proved a powerful opponent, and
got hold of the officers club. He used
the weapon with much force and made
several ugly cuts in the patrolman's head.
The prisoner dropped the club after he
had almost beaten the officer into a state
of insensibility and started toTun. Blind
ed by his own blood, Coffee could see
but family, but he managed to draw
his revolver and fire two shots at the ne
gro. His aim was not true and the man
escaped
The shooting attracted Mounted Ser
geant Fleming and Patrolman Eivers
and j. A. Woods They found their
brother officer on the ground. and a mes
sage was sent to headquarters for the
ambulance. Police Surgeon Osborne was
summoned and the injured officer was
sent to his home. A careful search of
the neighborhood was made, but the po-
lice were unable to locate the officers
assailant. Supt Reilly states that he
will leave no stone unturned to have the
man arrested. Coffee was injured I'M
der similar circumstances several weeks
ago. His wounds are not considered dam
gerous but he will be confined TO his

BUTLER WON EASILY.
Defeated Magistrate Shekells by
a Vofa oF 20 IN 10

Vote of 50 to 10.
o. c. Butler was elected magistrate of
the Fifth district at Thunderbolt yester-
day. Butler received 50 votes and Magis-
trate Thomas W. Shekels received 10
votes.
The election was a quiet and orderely
one, and was held at the home of the
late justice, B. ]. Mcintyre. Shekels
was appointed by the Governor to fill
the office until a successor should be
elected. Butler IS keeper of the Thun-
derbot toll gate, and will have his office
there.
The election was under the supervision
of Magistrate George 8. Brown, the APP
pointive justice for the district. Freehold
ers George o. Howe, d. D. Founder and
James Gardner were the other managers.
The clerks were Thomas e. McNish and
w. B. Hessling. The polls opened at
7:2i a. M. and closed at 6:26 p. m. At
no time did Shekells have a chance to
win, and the Butler workers got in their
Gcks early in the game. John ]. Dinon,
a well known local ward man. was on
hand bright and early, in the interest
of Butler. William Logan, colored pol
tician who gained much notoriety in
local battles at the Court House, was
also a strong supporter of Butler and
declared late in the afternoon, that 1t
was about the easiest thing that he had
ever gone into. The contest was one
sided and uninteresting, and Shekells
was not noticeable around the polls dur
ing the afternoon.
The ballot box was a roughly construct
ed pine affair, with a hole that would
not admit more than one ticket at a
time. The election was held on the stoop
of the Mcintyre house, and altogether the
managers and clerks had an easy time
of 1t. 1t was tame election, and as far
as is known there was not dispute dur
ing the day

Be We a Prudent Man. Here Is a
Suggestion for You.


Your hand and brain produce an income
that is the support of your family. That
income must cease at your death.
DO you know that every $1,000 produced
by your hand and brain annually repre-
sents the purchasing power Of over s16.-
600 at 6 per cent?
Do you ever reflect that your death
would destroy that producing power and
take from your wife and children just
that much capital?
Do you know that 80 per cent. of the
business men of the country fail al least
once during period of twenty years?
Do you think that your chances of sue
cess are better than those of other men?
Do you sincerely desire to throw every
safeguard around your wife and children
to shield them against the possibility
of future want or suffering?
Do you know that $1,000 or $40 900 can
be added to your estate by paying from
three per cent. to four per cent. interest
for short term of years on that sum?
DO you know that you can leave your
family 5000 or $4,000 by the simple pay
ment of an amount each year that is
about equal to the taxes payable upon
the same amount of real estate, and you
have not a dollar of capital invested?
Are you encumbered with debts or mort
cages? They can all be cleared off in case
of death by life insurance policy in the
