 The Brooklyn Eagle thus describes the group which the sculptor characterizeS as "The Spirit of the Confederacy:
 "The group is 12 1-2 feet high ana speaks for itself. In it MT.

The soldier in the monument has fought his fight and lost 1t. He is dying. but dying in the arms or Fame. There is neither hate nor bitter ness in his heart. Mortal pain there IS in his face and a suggestion of sadness The uselessness of 1t all is in the limp, nerveless arm, with it broken musket stock. But Fame holds the dropping hs- ure in one strong arm, while with the other she holds aioft to the world the lau- rels that he has fairly won.
 ''The group is an apothaosis of the Con federacy, it's valor, it's suffering and its sublime patience, and suggesting the Spartan spirit of Southern womanhood, nerving her sons to the last measure of devotion and sustaining them in the throes of the final disaster"

He belonged to none in particular, but to all of them, and his heart was big enough to be loyal to all. and they loved him for it. There were flowers and some tears, for his little child friends did not con ceal their grief and wept when the box containing Specials remains were lowered In the narrow earth cell and soon was hidden beneath the mound of dirt, which in turn. was covered with flowers from those who had known and played with him in life

Special never made a mistake They would send him hunting for the marked shell, and invariably he would return with the proper one in his mouth, wagging his tail and friskng happily and barking loudly as they patted his head and slapped him on the back in friendly approval, for he loved their applause and delighted in doing his tricks for his friends, with whom he also played ball, catching the sphere in his teeth and never 'muffing' ciars many traits of intelligence, and there is not one of these who knew his friendly, sharp yelp, but feels that his death as a personal loss.

CAMPAIGN IN MORGAN.
Day by Day the Chances of Governor
 Jelks Briphten

Decatur, Aug. 6.-(SpecialO The State Campaign is waxing hot and good and strong speakers for both Jelks and John ston are not wanting on the stump Tn this county.
 Last night Hon. Erie Pettus of Athens, and Professor James K. Clemnons, presi- dent of the Athens Female C'@lege, ad- dressed a good audience on Bank Street in the interest of Governor Jelks re- election.
 Both speakers made strong arguments in behalf of Governor Jelks and told how he had favored the new State Constitu- ton and white supremacy and how ex- Governor Johnston had opposed both and was still kicking against the new Con- stituuon
 As the day of election draws nearer Governor Jelkss chances for carrying Morgan County grow brighter.
 In years gone by Johnston always car ried this county by the help of influential friends whom he in turn appointed to offices and otherwise aided their political aspirations. But now things have changed The eX-Governor's former friends realize that his political career has been run and that he will never more have any fat offices to dish out to the faithful! Hence the exGoveca prs erst- while friends are having bat little or nothing to say in the present contest. Several of them have, in fact, already declared in favor of the new Constitu- tion and by so doing virtually indorse Governor Jelks.

MIR. w1LEY's SONG RECITAL.

The matinee yesterday afternoon at which MT. Clifford A. Wiley gave a song recital, was attended by many who had heard him the evening before and were captivated by his voice.
 From the time he first appeared his au- dience gave him a continued ovation, and he was obliged repeatedly to bow in rec ognition of the enthusiastic applause. He has a baritone voice of exquisite timbre. He sings with an expression any sympa- thy which touches a responsive chord in the hearts of his audience, and he enun- ciates with a distinctness which is de- lightful.
 Mir. Wiley is a native of Baltimore, and claims that he Is a Southerner. He has studied under the best masters. and has received flattering recognition in London and Paris. It is the conviction of all who hear MT. Wiley's voice that he has a brilliant future before him.

CARS FOR NEW LINE PICKETT SPRINGS ROAD READY
 IN THREE WEEKS.
City Terminus May Be Located at Perry Street and Dexter Ave nue-Poles Have Been
 Erected.

It Is expected that the Montgomery Traction Company will begin operating cars on the Pickett Springs line within the next three weeks. If by that time the City Council has not decided the question of the cars of the company op- erating on Court Square, the city termi- nus will be at Perry Street and Dexter Avenue.
 The tracks for the Pickett Springs line have been laid from the corner of Me Donough and Monroe Streets to the springs. with the exception of gap of about 100 yards. The trestle over the cemetery slough is incomplete but re- quires only a few more days work.
 All of the poles have been erected along the line but the wires have not been strung. This work will probably begin tomorrow.
 The matter of the city terminus of the Traction Company is still before the City Council.
 The Traction Company has a franchise which authorizes 1t to operate cars on Dexter Avenue aSd through Court Street The Council. however, objects to so many tracks being on Dexter Avenue and Court Street The city fathers hold that as they granted the franchise they have the right to designate the location of the tracks. They have accordingly requested the Traction Company to run it's cars over the tracks of the Montgomery Street Railway. from Court Square to Perry Street.
 To this proposition the Montgomery Traction Company agreed but the Mont gomery Street Railway did not and the matter is still pending.
 Cars for the Pickett Springs line will be delivered in Montgomery within the next two weeks. These cars have al- ready been made and will be shipped next week.
 ''he work of improving the grounds at Pickett Springs has just begun. A force of carpenters is at work on the new buili- ings for the park.

M ISS MAYME KEARNS, 1905 Dean
 A Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes:
 Peruna means health, and health means happiness. To me Peruna means both. Last summer I felt unusually prostrated from the heat. My appetite and sleep failed me and my strength seemed to ooze out with the precipitation, and l had weak, gone feeling.
 Three bottles of Peruna changed all this l recupeiated quickly and blessed sleep and rest came to me Peruna is better than a seaside trip, better than a vacation, in fact, better than anything I know to build up the system" Miss Mayme Kearns.
 Peruna is just as sure to bring an ap- petite as the sun is to bring the day. A good healthy appetite and good digestion Of food generally oorrects a host of ail- ments. Loss of strength and loss of sleep depends in a majority of cases upon loss of nutrition. If the appetite fails, sufhcient food will not be taken. If suf- hctent food is not taken, the system suffers from starvation. This will surely lead to a host of ailments in time. Pe- runa by restoring the appetite, cures the whole matter; by freeing the mucous membranes and stomach as well as the digestive organs from every trace of ca tarrhal congestion, Peruna corrects the whole trouble.
