Those Who Endure
The pains OF rheumatism should be re-
minded that cure for this disease
may be found In Hoods Sarsaparilla
which, as the One True Blood Purifier
neutralizes the acid which causes rheu-
matism. That is why it absolutely
cures when liniments and other out
ward applications fail to give perma-
nent relief.

VOTERS DISCUSS
RECENT PRIMARY.
A Number, of Course, Predicted the
Result.
THE ELECTION ON WEDNESDAY.
Will Ratify the Result Of the Primary
"A Close Race It Was In Some Quar-
ters, But the Fight Is Over and
There are No Scars.

All over the city yesterday the re-
suit of the recent primary was gener-
ally discussed, with congratulations
for the lucky fellows and expressions
of sy mpathY for those who failed to
corral enough votes to land them in
the administrative halls.
But everything was good natured,
and there are no scars.
The ''neck and neck" race that some
of the sprinters ran was commented
upon, and each of those who missed it
by scratch were ready to explain just
how it happened. The other requisite
votes could easily have been secured,
they said.
OH if they had but known how close
it was going to be.
And there was large element that
failed to vote at all. generally through
indifference, and these likewise ex.
pressed regrets.
But it is all over now, and the ac'
ton of the recent primary will be en-.
dorsed by the regular voters at the
general election next Wednesday
And not until next December, when 6
mayor, three aldermen and city CLERK
are elected, will we vote again.
The result of elections are sometimes
wonderful and past finding.

GREAT COMEDY HERE TONIGHT.
Human Hearts Will Attract Fine
Audience.

The theatrical attractions booked for
the next two weeks are among the
finest here this season, and with the
best Of these ranks the beautiful play
"Human Hearts" to be presented to-
night. "Human Hearts" is usually
classed in the same category as ''Shore
Acres" "The Old Homestead" and
plays that appeal directly to the hu-
man heart. This plain simple story of
the Arkansas Hills possesses more
true heart interest than dozen of the
melodramas of the day, and when IN
addition to this is added a first class
company, adequate scenic equipment
aud good stage management, a per-
feet performance should be the out
come. And this Americas plaY-goers
will see tonight.

MR.. HAWKES. CARD OF THANKS
To Those Who Supported Him in the
Primary.

AS will not be able to privately
thank all of those who were my friends
and supporters in the late city primary
election, and, indeed, may never know
who many of them were, take this
public method of expressing my deep
and heartfelt gratitude to each and all
of them. Although I was defeated I
feel that my candidacy has not been in
vain, when it has brought to me the
pleasant and inspiring realization of
the confidence and esteem of so many
of my fellow citizens, and of their
willingness to assist me IN my efforts
to obtain the object of laudable am
bition. entertain no unkind feelings
whatever toward those who preferred
my worthy and loyal competitor, some
of whom were probably placed in the
embarrassing position of having TO
choose between two friends. Re-
spectfully and gratefully.

GRAND JURY IS READY TO QUIT,
Will Complete all Business ard AG-

After busy session of nearly three
weeks, though actually engaged but
ten or twelve days, the grand jury will
complete all business today, make its
general presentments and adjourn for
the term. Since this body convened
on November 25th it has disposed of q
large volume of business, and in the
way ofindictments has returned eighty
SIX true bills out of something like 1875
cases passed upon. These included
nearly ali the crimes in the calendar,
and withal the grand jury has been o
source of terror to eviI-doers. The
keeper of every house of questionable
character in the city was indicted,
while wholesale raid was made upon
the sports and those charged with a
violation of the local option laws.

GUERRY ADDERTON
STANDS INDICTED,
By Grand Jury For Killing of Chas
Mize.
EARLY TRIAL MAY BE WANTED.
Mr.. Adderton Is In Custody of Sheriff
Bell and May Ask Immediate Trial.
Additional Evidence, IF ANY, Not
Known to Public.

Query Adderton must stand trial
for the tragedy resulting in the killing
of Charles Mize in this city a month
ago, the grand jury having returned
an indictment yesterday after very
thorough and lengthy investigation of
this most unfortunate affair.
The indictment was sent to the
clerk of court in the afternoon.
Mr.. Adderton was then Immediately
brought into court, and Will remain in
the custody of Sheriff Bell until the
date of the trial is fixed. This may be
had Immediately.
For several days it has been gener-
ally known that the grand jury was in
vestigating this case, and various were
the opinions as to what the result
might be. Some believed an indict-
ment of some kind might be found.
Others held contrary opinion.
The bill returned yesterday charges
the defendant with murder.
The deplorable tragedy occurring at
house of questionable repute, where
at Mr.. Charles D. Mize was killed by
Mr.. Adderton, is well remembered by
all in Americus.
At the committal trial following Mr.,
Adderton was discharged by Judge
Crisp, of the City Court, the evidence
| kharo odduoad ooino f0 ahow that khe
fatal shot was fred in self defense. A
knife wound upon Adderton's neck
was evidence of this.
Whether or not the grand jury han
secured additional evidence is moi
known, but the finding of a true bill
yesterday would seem to indicate thai
there was, hence the investigation o.
the case again.
