ANCIENT
TORTURE
How it has Been Revived
in Modern Times.

An ancient method of poisoning
criminals was to force them to swal-
low large quantities of bulls blood.
Bulls blood is really no poison at all.
Yet the prisoner usually died in agony.
This was caused by the coagulatiOn or
hardening of the bulls blood in the
stomach. The pressure of this solid
mass on the heart. lungs and othervital
organs almost always resulted fatally.
That's just like indigestion. If
your food doesn't digest it remains in
hard lump in the stomach. Gases are
formed, which crowd and sometimes
actually displace other organs. Many
cases Of supposed heart disease are due
to indigestion. The pressure upon the
lungs interferes with breathing. A dis
ordered stomach effects the whole body.
by the use of such a preparation as
Kod0l Dyspepsia Cure all this trouble
is removed. Before food can be assimi-
lated into the system it must be re-
duced to proper condition by the di-
gestive fluids. If any of these fluids
are lacking, perfect digestion Is inn
possible. K0dol Dyspepsia Cure sup
plies the missing fluids. Stomach
troubles can't be cured by dieting.
The system demands both a sufficiency

Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach
to take care OF any kind Of good food.
1t renders dieting unnecessary. 1t

1t rests the stomach This rest soon
restores the stomach to perfect health.

WOULDN'T ACCEPT FREIGHT.
Water and Rail Lines Case That
Will BE Watched With Interest.

Water and Rail Lines Case That
Will Be Watched With Interest.
Dublin, Ca, Sept. 1.-The Gem City
Steamboat Company and the Louise
Steamboat Company for some time
have been engaged in a fight which
has been carried into the courts. The
two companies are rivals. For years
the Louise Steamboat Company has
had a contract with the Wrightsville
and Tennille road to handle all of the
river business that line controlled. The
Gem City Boat Company was or
ganized to run a line of steamers in
connection with the Macon, Dublin and
Savannah road. For several months
this company has been running the
Rover" on the Oconee, a new boat
built by the Forest and Stream Club.
For some reason the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah road failed, for several
months, to erect a hoist for the con-
venient handling of freight, and the
managers of the Rover" have been put
to great expense to do business. They
therefore entered suit against the Ma
con, Dublin and Savannah road for
damages sustained because of the alb
sence of the hoist. The traffic man
ager of the road then issued orders
that no more freight be received from
this boat company, and a contract
was made with the Louise Steamboat
Company to run in connection with
the road, although that boat company
was, and is still, under contract with
the Wrightsville and Tennille.
Believing that the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah road could not refuse
to receive freight from them, the man
ayers of the Gem City Boat Company
hauled boat load of freight from
down the river and steamed up the
boiler of the hoist for the purpose of
unloading it. They were ordered to
stop by the manager of the Louise
Steamboat Company. They refused to
do this, and the manager then put out
the fire in the boiler by pouring water
upon 1t. He also carried away with
him part of the machinery of the
hoist so that the boiler could not again
be fired up in his absence.
In order to force the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah road to accept all
freight rendered 1t by the Gem City
Boat Company and to prevent the
manager of the Louise Steamboat
Company from again interfering with
them, the matter was brought to the
attention of Judge Fred c. Foster of
the Ocmulgee circuit. He granted an
injunction, compelling the road to tenn
porarily accept all freight rendered It
by this boat line and restraining the
manager or any one else connected
with the rival boat line from inter-
fering in any way. At Madison on
Saturday Judge Foster viii hear ar
gument for permanent injunction.
The outcome of this case will be
watched with interest by the owners
of boat lines in this state. 1t will es-
tablish the rights of the boats and
will show under what circumstances,
if any, the railroads can refuse to
accept freight from a water transport
tation company.

Price, the murderer of w. F. Brunson,
together with another negro named
Bob Seruggs, were lynched about two
miles from this place shortly after 81

about 300 men.
The negroes were being taken from
Newberry to Gainesville by special dep
uties. The party overpowered them
and took the prisoners away. The ne
groes were given a chance to confess,
which they did, and then they were
strung up on a tree and their bodies
riddled with bullets.
Nanny Price, who was well known
to the police in many parts of Florida,
was arrested in Foikston, Ga. z a day
or two ago for the brutal murder of
w. f. Brunson, the superintendent at
the Buttgenbach mines, near here. Mr..
Brunson was shot from ambush.
A deputy brought Price to Newberry

fessed that he killed the superintend-
emit. In his statement he implicated
Bob Scruggs, who had been arrested

ing a sentence at the camp for carry
ing concealed weapons.

ON SEPT. 30.

County Grand Jury Endorses Cand-
Ter.
Atlanta, Sept. 1.-The resignation of
Justice Hal T. Lewis of the Supreme
Court has been mailed to Governor
Gambler, it is stated, and will reach
him tomorrow on his return from
Admission. Ala, where he went to-day
to make a Labor day speech.
1t is said the resignation is worded
to go into effect Immediately, but
that it will probably be accepted to
take effect Sept 80, because Governor
Gambler has stated, in discussing the
matter with friends. that he does not
intend to make and ad interim ap-
pointment. The law provides that
where a vacancy occurs on the SUI
preme Bench before a regular election,
the vacancy shall be filed at such
election. The people will, therefore,
elect Justice Lewis successor on Oc-
tober /.
1t is the general opinion among
politicians that the Executive Commit
tee will not call a primary and will
not nominate "a candidate, but will let
the matter go direct to the election.
This seems to be the generally ac-
cepted solution of the question, and
the matter will no doubt take this
course. There is little doubt that both
Judge John S. Gambler and Judge
George F. Gober will be candidates for
the position whether Judge Joel
Branhams, of Rome will enter the
race has not been learned.
The DeKab county grand jury. to-
DAY passed resolutions indorsing
Judge Gambler for the position.
