CRYzMGy

What fors II you ask her she win tell
you she doesn't know. She Just feels
nervous, that's all. A man Is apt to
have very little sympathy with this con-
dition in his wife. He can't see any
earthly reason why she should cry. She
has plenty to eat, plenty to wear, and he
does everything he can, he thinks, to
make her happy; and in spite Of that,
she sits down and cries softly to herself,
apparently without any cause or reason.
But there is a cause, and that cause is
some disorder or disease OF the delicate
wornanly organism. Unhealthy drains
have taken away the vital force. Infam-
nation is fretting the nerves OF the
whole body. II women did but under
stand the intimate relation of the gen.
eral health to the local health OF the
delicate womanly organs, they would
realize that the quick way to establish
the general health Is to cure the local
disorders. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription dries the drains that enfeeble
women, heals inflammation and ulcera-
tion and cures female weakness. 1t Is
medicine that can absolutely be relied
upon to make weak women strong and
sick women we'll. 1t contains no alco-
hol, and is entirely free from opium.
cocaine and all other narcotics.
Women suffering from disease in
chronic form are invited to consult DR..
Pierce, by letter, free Of charge. Dr..
Pierce, assisted by his staff Of nearly a
score Of physicians, has in a little over
thirty years treated and cured more
than half a million sick aud ailing
women. All correspondence 10 strictly
private and sacredly confidential. Ad-

Governor McSweeney acted on the
following case this morning : John
M. Hudson, convicted of disposing
of goods under lien in Oconee county
at the March Term of Court, 1902
and sentenced to five months on the

circumstances in connection with
this case and representative citizens
say they have known Hudson fol

time he had ever been convicted OF

Confederate soldier. The petition
was granted. He has about com.

as the cause of the sad affair.
He arose this morning at the usual
hour, dressed himself and walked

Thief Slashes With Razor.

New York, September 3.-Slash-
ing to the right and left with razor,
a thief on the Third avenue elevated
road terrorized car full of passen.
gers and held them at bay until he
could make his escape from the train.
He seriously injured EdwHrd Bergen,
passenger, and the gaarI who at
tempted to capture him.
AS they closed in on him he drew
a razor and slashed Bergen twice,
cutting frightful gashes in the arms
and right thigh. His activity with
the weapon caused tremendous ex-
element among the passengers,
many of whom were women. The
man shouted that he would kill any
person who interfered, and at Fifty
third street station he jumped over
the gate to the platform. A number
of passengers then took up the chase
through the streets, where they were
joined by large crowd, but the
thief escaped.

Saving Hams.

Grove Level, Ga.-Dear Mrs. Eel
ton AS some one has asked for a
receipt for keeping hams and have
seen no reply, l will offer my receipt
which never fails. I have tried rub.
bing with black pepper, wrapping in
canvas and other ways, but with no
success until commenced using
borax. Select clear breezy day for
unpacking the meat, scald the joints
for about two minutes in boiling
water, wipe off wator, sprinkle tho
roughly with finely powdered borax,
hang in accustomed place and the
work is over. Borax is cheap, cost
ing about twenty cents per pound,
which is sufficient for the joints of
three or four hogs. The flavor is
not at all impaired and meat treated
in this way will keep perfectly
the year round, with never fly, bug
or anything to disturb its sweet
juiciness.-Mrs. Il. in Atlanta Jour-
nal.

people of Charleston are stirred up
as they have never been before over
the proof that fraud was resorted to
in the primary election here last
week. A mass meeting was held to-
night at which resolutions were
passed and plans made for the pre-

outrage. The executive committee
of the county still has under advise
ment ways and means of proceeding
against the men who were guilty of
the fraud. 1t is probable that the
whole matter will be laid before

Trying to Starve Himself to Death.

Jackson, Miss, September g.
Tom Sevon, alias Tom Rayborn, q
negro murderer, was taken from the
jackson Jail yesterday to Smith
county where he will stand trial next
week. The negro was confined ten
days in the Jackson Jail for safe
keeping, and he has adopted a heroic
method to cheat the gallows. For
the past eight days he has steadfastly
refused to eat and insists that it is
his determination to starve to death.
Not a single mouthful of food has
passed his lips during the fast, al
though the most tempting viands
have been placed before him, and
even a huge watermelon failed to
provoke manifestation of hunger.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
it was supposed to be incurable. For q
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease, and it there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

only constitutional cure on the market.
