SOVEREIGNTY ENDANGERED.

Comment on AngIo-German .InterVen-
ton In Venezuela.
New York, Dec. 13.-Referring to
the Anglo German intervention in Ven
ezuela. the Buenos Ayres correspo-
ndent of The Herald says all the news
papers there see in it a danger for all
South American republics, as it tends
to establish a precedent endangering
their sovereignty. The general opin-
ion is that the investment of foreign
capital, though desirable for the devel-
opment of the countries, cannot give
foreigners special rights. Some pa
pers compare actual intervention with
recent events in China.
The Prenza says:
"The Anglo-German military action
has violated the rights and disregards
the sovereignty of South American re
publics"
It adds that the German claims as
public debt are without precedent in
the history of South America.
The Prenza attributes the whole af
fair to European imperialists, who are
inspired with hostile intentions against
the increasing influence of the United
States, and urges South American
diplomats to watch developments.
The government organ at Rio ia.
metro declares, according to a Herald
dispatch that Anglo-German action
tends to modify the relations between
Europe and America and that the firm
and noble attitude of President Castro
cannot but be admired by all true
Americans

DDS of European governments.

SENSATIONAL SCENE
MARKS LAST HOURS
Row Occurs In the Georgia
Legislature.
HOUSE THROWN in UpRoAR.
Representative Knight, of 5errien, and
Doorkeeper Robson Engage In an
Exciting Scrap Just Before Final
Adjournment.

Atlanta, Dec. ia sensational
scene marked the closing hours of the
general assembly. A difficulty occur
red between Representative Knight,
of Berrien, and Doorkeeper Robson.
The house had been in disorder for
some time and Speaker Morris in or
der to preserve order for the final vote
on adjournment, called on all the
members to be seated. He designat-
ed Mr. Robson to see that his order
was carried out.
Mr.. Knight rose to point of order.
1t was overruled by the speaker, and
he was told to be seated.
He was somewhat slow in complying
with the request, and Robson, who was
standing behind him, took him by the
arm as If to make him take his seat.
A scuffle then ensued, Mr.. Knight re-
sisting the doorkeeper's effort. The
house was Immediately thrown into an
uproar, and several members rushed
toward the struggling men and suc-
ceeded in separating them. It was
sometime before order was restored
and the final vote taken.
Georgia legislators hereafter meet
in Atlanta ON the fourth Wednesday
In June, instead of the fourth Wednes-
day in October, as has been the case
heretofore. The house this morning
by vote Of 1913 to 35 declined to sus-
%a4v ban tafn -
and the senate having done so yes
terday by a vote Of 3S to 3, the bill
by Senator Shelton was declared pass
ed by Speaker Morris, and the next
session of the general assembly will
meet in Atlanta on Wednesday June
"a, 1908, or within seven months from
the adjournment last night.
The general election day, which
is the first Wednesday in October, is
not changed by the BILL but as the
constitution OF the state says and as
the constitution is construed by for
mer Attorney General Boyl1in Wright,
the returns of the elections must be
canvassed by the general assembly in
Joint session.
AFTER d conference the house last
night agreed to the senate amend
ments to the franchise tax bill, and
the measure is now ready for the gov
ernor's signature.
Only one change was made in the
bin as the result of the conference.
Section 10 was stricken from the meas
ure.
AS originally passed by the senate,
section 10 provided that where street
car companies or other corporations
owning franchises pay to cities an oc-
cupation tax or percentage of gross
receipts, the amount so paid shall be
deducted from what the city receives
under the franchise tax bill. The CON
ference committee amended the sec
tion so that the amount of the fran
chise tax paid under the bill shall
be deducted from the amount paid as
percentage on gross receipts or as oc.
cupation tax
After six conference committees
had failed to report an agreement. the
house this morning decided to recede
from its position relative to the pub
lie property fund, and agreed by a
vote of 70 to GO that 1t should be spent
in payment of interest on the bonded
debt of the state.
The genral assembly adjourned at
2:55 o'clock.

Further improvements.
Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 13.-The
secretary Of the treasury has recon-
mended that $S50OO0 be set aside in
the sundry civil bill for improvements
In the Tennessee river. This makes
a total Of $550,000 that will be imme.
diately available for the work upon
the Colbert and Bee Tree shoals canal.

cluded in the sundry civil bill, which

gress.
In order to construct the canal it is
necessary to excavate several million

confronting the engineers is what to
do with it. The banks are very high
and little Of it could be piled on the
banks, while the expense Of CARRYING

HENDSONVILLE, S. C, Sci

IF1NLoO-N VII-I11' o. =, Sept. z, 1910.
Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-SOme years ago operated float
ing saw-mill on the Savannah River Ny base of
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
Influences employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
ber there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
MY attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. I procured it, and those who
we're sick were put this treatment and those who
we're feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

DE wiNDT's EXPEDITION.
Members Suffer From Terribly In
tense Cold

Letters have been received in Lon
don from Harry De Windt, leader of
the expedition which is attempting to
make its way overland from Paris to
New York, dated Yerkhoyansk, East
Siberia, at the end of February. In
spite of the forebodings of the officials
OF Yakutsk, who strongly urged MIR.
De Windt not to continue his journey,
saying the conditions were worse this
year than ever. the expedition reached
Verlxhoyansk, 600 miles north of Yak
utsk, February 2Sth.
The members of the expedition had
a terrible experience while crossing
the Verkhoyansk mountains. The cold
was intense, sixty-three degrees below
zero being registered. All the travel
ers were frost bitten. Otherwise they
were well and in good spirits and were
leaving the same day for Sredne
Kolymsk, town of East Siberia, 800
miles further on, which the party
hoped to reach about the middle OF
March. Then it was their intention to
push ON l500 miles to East cape, on
Behring straits. Probably the next
news Of the expedition will be its ar
rival in the United States via the Beh-
ring straits. De Windt mentions a re-
port that Baron Tolls eXpeditionary
ship Zaria was stranded off the SiDe-
rian islands, with only seven tons OF
coal on board.

And what are stomach troublesl The easiest
answer is that three-quarters of all the dis

Indigestion is one of the worst and most

When we stop to seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula of one of the most eminent living

people who have happily experienced the
benefit to be derived from its use, will not
now be without it at any cost.
