RABIES ATTACKED A NEGRO
CHILD IN THE STREET

A small negro girl, supposed to be In the
awful throes of hydrophobia.. created a
great sensation on South Forsyth street
Tuesday morning. An ambulance and
police were teleDhoned for, but before
either arrived the parents of the child had
hurried it away, and it was impossible to
learn its name.
They told the people in the nelghbor-
hood that the child had been bitten by
mad dog about four months ago. The
child was walking along South Forsyth
street Tuesday when it was attacked
by what appeared to be the rabies, and
it's commissions were frightful A tele-
phcne message was sent to the Grady hos
pital and to police headquarters. but the
parents of the child thought that 1t was
the intention of the people to have the girl
arrested, and they hurried ii away.

THE POPULAR SPRING MEDICINE
CURES EVERY FORM OF

A Victory Over an InsidIOus Disease
After the Failures Of Physicians.

The liver is the great housekeeper of our
health On its right and proper action de-
ponds our enjoyment of life.
One of the commonest indications of
disordered and diseased liver is a nasty
tongue-furred and coated. Such a condf-
ton is positive proof that the liver is not
working we'll. Other symptoms are as
follows: nauseous taste in the mouth,
pains under the shoulder blades and In the
region of the kidneys. Frequently the
mental symptoms of liver trouble are more
dangerous than the bodily ills. Sufferers
experience mental anguish, gloomy fore
holdings, melancholy and a general feeling
of disgust with life.
when these bodily and mental troubles
are experienced, your liver tells you 1t
needs immediate help. If the proper med
icine is not used at once, sickness and
death follow.
Paine,s Celery Compound is the one
great specific for the cure of liver trou-
bles. 1t always acts gently and effective

RYDER WILL RECOVER
CITIZEN OF DoTHAN WHO
 DRANK CARBoLIC ACID.
Told His Friends Yesterday He Had No Further Desire to End His Life-Will Go
 Home.

J. A, Ryder, the Dothan man who at. tempted suicide Wednesday, will recover. He sat up yesterday and his physicians say that unless some unexpected compii- cations set in he will be able to return to his home by the end of the week.
 He suffers but slightly from his terrible experience of Wednesday. To friends who called yesterday he talked freely. He said that he had no further desire to end his life.
 It developed yesterday that Ryder had made his will in Dothan two days before the attempt at suicide. He had put his affairs in good shape and prepared de- liberately to end his life. He had suffer- ed keenly because of the death of his wife and lately he had brooded over busi- ness affairs that were not going right. In, his carriage business at Dothan he had been somewhat unfortunate in allow ing men to get into his debt who could not or would not pay him. These amounts, however. were not large and Ryder had several thousand dollars worth of property in Dothan, it is said. He expected to get in the next few days A check for $1, GOO the amount of his wife's life insurance policy.
 The night before Ryder come to Mont gomery he told his cook that he was go- ing away, but that he would be back in twenty-four hours. and that he would not be alive when he came back. He bought the carbolic acid before he left Dothan. He decided to use that as a means of suicide. He told friend yes- terday he used the acid because hc had read in an Atlanta newspaper of man whoa killed himself by drinking carboiic acid. Ryder said that he had intended to take the acid on the train, but after recalling that he had to attend to some insurance matters, he changed his plans and came to Montgomery.
 His son, J. W. Ryder. has been serving in the United States army in the Philip pines. He secured a discharge not long since and has started home. He is ex- pected in Dothan about the first of next month.
 F. H. Hill. a prominent citizen of Do- than and a friend of Ryder. came to Montgomery to see him Wednesday night. returning home yesterday morning.

 :: AT MOUNT VERNON.
 In an account of a meeting of D. A. R. fin Birmingham The Age-Herald has the following;
 The members of the General Sumpter Chapter. Daughters of the American Revolution. at their. meeting yesterday afternoon with Mrs. Nathaniel w. Trim ble unanimously endorsed the movement started by. the Alabama Daughters to- wards the restoring of the central hall at Mount Vernon to Alabama. This hall was originally known as the Alabama room at Mount Vernon, but for some reason it was transferred to Connecticut and the Alabama room is at present In very unattractive quarters. The Alabama Daughters are now taking concerted &C., ton to have the original room restored to them and petition to this effect is being sent each chapter. This petition will be forwarded to the headquarters in Washington.
 The matter was brought to the consid- eration of General Smith Chapter by Mrs. R. D. Johnston ,Alabama's regent of the Mount Vernon Association and by Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, Alabama's regent, both of whom spoke strongly in favor Of con- certed action on the part of the Dangh- ters. The Mount Vernon Association Is composed of many of the most prominent Daughters in the country, and each State has a regent in the Association. Mrs. Johnston is working to furnish the Ala bama room at Mount Vernon with his- torica1 furniture and now with this move- ment looking to the restoring of the hall unusual interest will be attached to the efforts of the Daughters.
