Was Released.

was Released.
Eatonton, Ga, May Mrs. Lizzie
Griffin succeeded in making bond, and
by Sheriff Terrell. She was committed
to Jail several weeks ago, charged with
the murder OF her husband. Bond was
fixed by Judge Lewis at a recent ses-
sion of the Jones County Superior
Court at $1,000 each for Mrs. Griffin
and her brother, Sam Knowles.
No effort has been yet made to make
bond for Sam Knowles, but the family
will take up the matter at once and
work for his release. The liberation
of Mrs. Griffin and her boy from Jail
was a source of much JOY to her and
family, but twas not without manifest
sorrow that she left her brother and
supposed particeps criminis to pass
long hours in the darkness of prison.
John Griffin was killed on the night
of March %. The preliminary trial &C.
cupied three days, ending April l. Mrs.
Griffin and Sam Knowles have been
in jail one month. The confinement,
however, has been kind to them. Elk
cept for slightly more pallid faces, they
have stood Imprisonment remarkably
well. Sheriff Terrell, however, has been
unremtting in his efforts to make
their confinement as pleasant as posi-
BILE. The trial of these parties at the
next term of the Superior Court will
be watched with unusual interest by
the entire county.
Mrs. Griffin left town Immediately
with her father, with whom she will
live.

IN CONVENTION
Teachers Learn Something Not In
the Class Books.

A number of young women attending
teachers convention at Oklahoma
City some time ago learned a valuable
teacher who says: About a year ago
1 had my first attack of poor health
and il seemed a terrible thing to me
for / had always been so we'll and
strong. My stomach distressed me
terribly; it seemed like it was raw,
especially after breakfast, and it would
burn and hurt me so / could not rest.
1 was soon convinced that it was caus-
ed by coffee drinking and at the re-
quest of a friend I gave up coffee and
began to use Postum Coffee.
THE change in my condition was
something marvellous. l had actually
given up teaching because doctors
were unable to help my stomach trouble
but since I quit coffee and used Pos
tum my troubles have disappeared
and ] have gone to teaching again
Some time ago l attended a conven-
tion at Oklahoma City and deter
mined to have Postum at my boarding
house where there were eight other
teachers, four of them suffering
from coffee sickness. My landlady
did not make the Postum right but /
showed her how and we all found it
delicious. We all drank II the rest
of the time we were there and the
young ladies in question felt much
better and declared that their heads
were much clearer for study and their
general health much improved. ] have

YANGER WHIPPED BROAD.
Principals Had TO Give Bond Before
They Fought.

They Fought.
Louisville, KY, May 2.-After having
been placed under arrest at the IN
stance of the Citizens League, Benny
Yanger and kid" Broad went twenty
fast rounds at the Southern Athletic
Club tonight, Yanger getting the de-
cision.
AT o'clock this afternoon the prin-
cipals, Manager Gray of the Southern
Athletic Club and Referee Tim Hurst
were arrested and taken before Judge
Caruth of the Criminal Court. Judge
Caruth held that the men could not
be put in Jail unless the contest should
develop into a prize fight. He imposed
a bond of 81 900 to keep the peace.
Twice during the first ten rounds the
men seemed to tire, but they recuperat-
ed quickly and went at it again, ham,
mer and tongs. Broad proved a g1ut-
ton for punishment. Yanger clearly
outoointed him.
The twentieth round ended with a
fierce mix-up. The decision of Referee
Hurst awarding the fight to Yanger
met the approval of the crowd, Yanger
having clearly proven himself the clev-
erer and faster man.

LABOR PROBLEMS
We're Discussed by Bishop spaIdinE
in Illinois.

In IIIInO18s
Peru, ILL.,, May Bishop Spalding,
who was a member of the anthracite
miners strike commission, in a lecture
on labor problems at the Coliseum last
night, spoke, in part, as follows:
Laws are not made for the great
corporations. What gain for the en-
tire world If all dehumanized men
should get out. We have means
enough; we can do without capitalists
who come among us and live on the
blood of human beings. The cause of
labor, if rightly understood, is the
cause of humanity. What labor desires
first of all is not charity, but justice.
We Americans are using up too rapid
ly the resources of nature, and we
are using up too rapidly human lives.
"One of the greatest fallacies of the
age is that money is equivalent to hui
man lives. The spirit of commercial
ism is sinking deeper and deeper into
us. Whatever a man sets his heart
on must increase or 1T ceases to satisfy
him. What we need in America is a
realization of spiritual ideas and the
realization that the best things in life
are not procured by money. Wages
are never the full equivalent for hu-
man work. There is a quality in all
men which goes far beyond the ques-
ton of wages.
"One of the great curses OF the mod
ern world is the vast conglomeration
of people in huge cities. The idea of
civilization is a country of cities from
10000 to $4,000 inhabitants. If it were
not for great cities we could do away
with the evils brought upon us by cor
rupt politicians. There is nothing
which can give lis relief from those
conditions with the exception of trades
unionism. The history of trades union
ism is largely the history of benef-
cence. The strike is the one weapon
of organized labor. but it is as danger
Gus to labor as it is capital"

OBITUARY..
George M. Warren, swainsboro.

Swainsboro, Ca, May 1.-The death
of Col. George NJ. Warren at his home
this afternoon has caused general sor-
row. Col. Warren was one of the rep
resentatives in the Legislature from
Emanuel county and an attorney of
reputation and ability. The disease
that killed him-consumption-fir be-
gan giving him trouble about eighteen
months ago, and since that time he
has gradually grown worse. He was
unable to make an active campaign
when a candidate for representative
last fall, and shortly after going to
Atlanta he became seriously i'll. He
was at his post in Atlanta throughout
the session of the General Assembly
and did some splendid work for his
constituents and his state, but he never
felt well, and when he returned home
in December was compelled to give up
his lucrative law practice and go to
bed. On the advice of physicians. Col.
Warren spent several weeks this year
on the east coast of Florida, but re-
turned home six weeks ago little i'm
proved in health and in a very weak
and feeble condition.
Shortly after returning from Florida
Col. Warren went to Augusta and I'M
derwent an examination by physicians
of that city. They gave lfm no
hope, and the gifted Georgian return-
ed to Swainsboro, fully conscious of the
fact that he had but short while to
live. Col Warren had been resting
quietly for several days, until Satur-
day afternoon, when he suddenly grew
worse and knew that the end was near
He died peacefully, surrounded by
friends and the members of his fam
lily, who had been untiring in their
watching and nursing and unceasing
in their prayers for his recovery.
Col. Warren was just in the prime
of life and undoubtedly one of the most
gifted men Emanuel county has ever
produced. He was a Mason His re-
mains will be inferred at the Methodist
Cemetery tomorrow at 10 o'clock with
Masonic honors.

terest not only to the city officials but
to every citizen. 1t has been a source
of much satisfaction to me to find that
so large a number of working people in
moderate circumstances have accepted
Peruna as their family medicine. 1t has
cured a large number of cases, espec-
tally of catarrh of the head, lungs and
stomach, and for building up the gener-

and a blessing to any community
where it is generally adopted and used.
