JOSEPHINE MORRlS, 236 Carroll

free from malaria, and also kept me
from having that worn-out, dragged

therefore have no hesitancy in say

Peruna is frequently used as a miti-
cation of the effects of hot weather.
What bath is to the skin, Peruna is
to the mucous membranes Bathing
keeps the skin healthy, Peruna makes
the mucous membranes clean and
healthy. With the skin and mucous
membranes in good working order, hot
weather can be withstood with very
little suffering.
Frequent bathing with an occasional
use of Peruna is sure to mitigate the
horrors of hot weather. Many ladies
have discovered that the depression of
hot weather and the rigors they have
been in the habit of attributing to
malaria. quickly disappear when they
use Peruna. This is why Peruna is so
popular with them. Peruna provides
clean mucous membranes, and the
clean mucous membranes do the rest.

Atlanta, Sept. 24.-Judge r.. B. Rus

not be a candidate for the Supreme
Court bench to succeed Justice Hal
Lewis. His name has been prominent
vacancy occasloned by Judge Lewis
resignation, although he had never for
mally declared his candidacy for the
place. One of the reasons given by
Judge Russell of his declination to run,
is that he has found many men who
were pledged to support other candi-
dates long before Justice Lewis sub
mitted his resignation. The race is
now between Judge John S. Gambler of
Atlanta, and Judge John c. Ross of
Macon. In statement to the
public, Judge Russell says:
Justice Lewis is a distinguished
citizen of the section in which I have
spent my whole life. 1 had no thought
of superseding him, and as his admirer
and friend, hoped he would not re-
sign, but that the state would be en-
abled to retain his valuable services
for years to come. / certainly did not
keep my ear to the ground hoping to
hear of his resignation, while pushing
the pen in anticipation thereof: nor
did any friend of mine. While l would
feel honored above my deserts to oc-
cupy the station adorned by pre-emi-
nent Georgians living and dead 1 do
not think L have any quenchless thirst
or insatiate hunger therefor to APP
pease. 1 certainly neither intended to
offer for two offices at once. nor to
fill two at the same time, as has once
or twice been done in recent Georgia

Aiken's Treasurer Declines to Go i'm
Country to Collect.
Columbia, S. c.. Sept. 24-The coun-
ty treasurer of Aiken to-day published
a notice that he would not go into the
country as heretofore to receive taxes
at specified points. II do not think l
am called upon to risk my life and the
countys money by doing So" He says
the reason given is that highwaymen
are abroad throughout the county and
he would be counting death by travel
ing in the country with money in his
possession. Six highway robberies have
occurred in Aiken within the last few
weeks. No one has been arrested and
the treasurer cites this in justification
of his action. In view of this condition
it is probable the many millionaires
who spent part of their winters in All
ken will bring down extra artillery
with them or keep close to cover.

New York, Sept. 24-The National
baseball magnates held a three-hour
session at their league headquarters
here to-day. After the meeting official
announcement was made that the entire
time had been taken up in discus
sion of the situation in general, ana
that no action had been taken that
could be made public.
While it was officially announced that
no action had been taken by the mag
mates, it was admitted that the prop
osltion of peace or war with the
American League had been talked OF
and that large majority of the mag
mates favored war to the end.
IL was estimated tonight that the
magnates are seriously considering the
advisability of again Increasing the

London, Sept. PAL. II. Greig, a

of forging checks amounting to $500

probably others were implicated in the

Counsel handed in forged checks for
100000 and $4,000, respectively. He said
the forgeries were all of great magni-
tude. The prisoner, he declared, kept
up a lavish establishment at Kingston
upon-Thames, and steps were being
taken to prevent the removal of his
handsome furniture.
Col. Hunsicker told a representative

CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS
at New Haven for the Con-

New Haven, Conn, Sept 24.-The
delegates to the Democratic State Con-
vention assembled here tonight to
transact business preliminary to the
convention proper tomorrow. The pro-
ceedings of the night wound up with
a fracas which developed in the New
London county caucus during a debate
involving the Endorsement of one or
the other of two candidates for gov
ernor. Hot words were followed by
scuffles; and then came fisticuffs. No
one was seriously injured, but the
caucus went to pieces in perfect pam
demonium.
In addition to the heat of the guber-
material canvass there were thrust in
the situation tonight another disturb
ing element. A third party of kansas
City platform Democrats" had am
nounced its purpose to demand of the
convention the Endorsement of the
Kansas City platform, practically in
surfing a repetition of the recent Mas
sachusetts contest. AS a result the
