AGAINST DIFFERENTIAL

People Protest.
Washington, July 6.-The Holly

They claim that If the cylindrical

of the Planters Compress Company it
would practically destroy or immensely

IN HEART OF FEUD LAND.
Strange BreRthitt COunty-PIaces I'm
Kentucky That Know No Law
But That of the Gun.

Lexington (Ky) Letter TO Washing
ton Post.
''They amt been no revenues killed
in our part o. the country for so long
a time that a strangers just as safe
in Breathitt county as he Is anywhere"
1t was a typical Kentuck mountaineer
who said this. He spoke 1t with a pride
born of long line of ancestors who
have been at war with "the revenues"
In the Kentucky mountains "a rev.
enue" is an agent of the United States
government, vested with authority to
detect and suppress Illicit stills-those'
concerns where 'moonshine" whisky is
made. OF a naturally suspicious ma
ture, the Kentucky mountaineer soon
learned to look with suspicion upon
every visitor TO his neighborhood who
came without being personal vouched
for; hence all strangers who go among
the mountaineers are revenues" and
woe betide the wayfarer who travels
alone in that region. If he escapes from
the unerring bullet Of the assassin,
concealed high up in the mountain
crags, it is due more to his luck in not
being seen than to the wish of the ma
tives that he may have a safe and
pleasant journey through their pic
turesque country.
These mountaineers have in a way
been at war with the government for
more than a hundred years. The gov
ernment's efforts to compel them to
respect the laws which impose a rev.
enue tax upon distilled spirits have
cost more lives than were lost in the
war with Spain, and more money than
was required by George Washington
to put down the whisky rebellion in
Pennsylvania at the beginning of the
last century. 1t would seem. there
fore, that when a citizen of Breathitt
county can boast that stranger is as
safe in that neck of the woods as he Is
anywhere, progress is denoted. But
this inference is not borne out by the
facts, as illustrated by the atrocious
assassination of Judge j. B. Marcum at
the door OF the Court House of Jack
son, the county seat of Breathitt, a
few days ago.
While it is true that every stranger
in Breathitt county is not now placed
in the category of revenues" and
thereby made a marked man, it is also
true that Breathitt county continues TO

FINDINGS ON CHARGES
MADE BY BROUGHTOk

Atlanta, July 7.-As the result of the
conference between DIR. Len G..
Broughton, and the trustees of
the School of Technology, a
statement was issued tonight,
to which both Dr. Broughton
and the trustees gave their assent.
The conference this afternoon and to-
night lasted seven hours. and during
that time several witnesses were ex-
amined with reference to the charges
made by DR.. Broughton the state
ment issued as a result of the con-
ference and investigation is as fol-
lows:
After full investigation the follow
ing conclusions were reached by the
committee and the board, and these
conclusions were fully concurred in by
DIR. Broughton after the testimony
had all been heard: The committee
and the board find as follows:
First. The charge that there was
wine drinking at the banquet is true
The banquet was given the alumni
and was not held at the institution,
but at one of the hotels in the city
and not attended by any student then
in the college or connected with the
college. Four professors and the presi-
dent were in attendance, out of a to-
tai faculty of thirty-eight, and some
members of the graduating class.
There was no champagne or whisky
at the banquet, but only light wines
were served. The institution as an
organization had no control over the
banquet, and no Jurisdiction to enforce
discipline concerning it.

Second. Two teachers and one in
structor in the textile department were
shown to have too much on one oeca-
sion each. None of them was a men,
Der of the faculty proper at the time,
and at the present none of them is con-
nected with the school This drinking
was not done at the institution, nor in
the presence of any of the students, and
was unknown to any of the officials of
the school. 1t was shown not to have
been habitual but the board condemns
because it is of the opinion any drink
ing at all is too much. No member of
the present faculty or teaching force
is in the habit of drinking as far as any
one knows.
Third. The charges as to drinking,
DR.. Broughton states, were never in
tended for the student body, and no
evidence was introduced to sustain
such an idea. The students are, as a
body, as moral and as free from drink
ing as those of other colleges.
Only two students within past
years were known to have been
guilty of drinking, and
they were expelled.
Fourth. DR.. Broughton explains
that the statements with reference to
character in the Tech were based on
the meaning of the word character,
as understood and expounded by him,
viz, That there is no character that
does not have Christ for it's founda-
talon which he explains as follows,
There is no such thing as character
aside from Christ. Ny reputation is
what man thinks of me. God never
thinks well of any man, however good
his reputation may be, who ignores
and leaves out of his life the Lord
Jesus Christ. With this meaning OF
the word the statement was made by
him. The board regards this meaning
as ideal and not in keeping with the
common acceptance of the word
character"

HAS A PECULIAR MALADY.
Man Dies Frequently, but Comes to
Life when the Undertaken Arrives.


From the Chicago Chronicle.
Parkersburg, w. Va.--Clayton West
fall is victim of the dying habit.
He dies, apparently, fools all the peo-
pie who see him and then fools the
undertaken who comes to prepare him
for burial by waking up from a semi
conscious state and protesting against
being made to witness his own funeral
from the inside of a coffin.
Westfall died last week for the sew
enth time, but revived again in time
to prevent the funeral. although the
grave bad been dug and the coffin or
dered. He is a worker in the oil fields
near Jake's run and according to his
own story has frequent attacks of un-
consciousness. He had one of his at
lacks yesterday, the family made all
the usual tests and he was pronounced
dead. The grave was prepared and the
undertaken sent for. He arrived at
night and was almost frightened to
death when the supposed corpse arose
in bed and asked the undertaken what
he was there for and what he was go
ing TO do. Westfall found out in a
short time that ii was proposed to
bury him and entered a vigorous OBJ
lection.
Westfall says he has several times
been in this condition and has narrow
ly escaped being buried alive on more
than one occasion. He has sometimes
lain in a trance for two or three days
at a time. During this period he has
always the most remarkable dreams.
Nearly always he dreams he is in
heaven, but can give no accurate de-
scription of what the place is like. At
other times he dreams he has gone in
the opposite direction, and when this
happens he is always glad to be awak-
ened, even by the undertaken. He is
in excellent health, and his experience
never hurts him.

HOT WEATHER--NERVOUS WOMEN.

Pe-ru-na IL "A Catarrhal Tonic Es-
I peciaIIy Adapted to the Nervous

Weather.
Miss Blanche Grey. a prominent
young society woman of Memphis,
Tenn, in a recent letter from ia Ala

s'TO n society woman whose nerve
| Gus force is often taxed to the ut
most from lack of rest and irregu-
lar meals. know of nothing which
is of so much benefit as Peruna.
| took 1T a few months ago when L
felt my strength giving way, and it
soon made itself manifest I'm giving
me new strength and health"
A Letter from Julia MarIOwe.
In a recent letter to The Peruna
| Mericine Co., Miss Julia Marlowe of
New York city, has the following to
say of Peruna:
II am glad to write my endorsement
of the great remedy, Peruna, as a
nerve tonic. 1 do so most heartily
Julia Marlowe.
Nervousness Is very common among
women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve centerS. The nerve GEN.
tiers are the reservoirs of nervous vital
ity. These centers become bloodless
for want of proper nutrition. This is
! especially true in the warm season.
Every summer a host of invalids are
produced as the direct result Of weak
nerves.
This could be easily obviated by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the difficulty by correcting the
digestion. Digestion furnishes nutri-
ton for the nerve centers. Properly
digested food furnishes, these reser-
voirs of life with vitality, which leads
to strong, steady nerves, and thus
nourishes life.
The unsolicited praise that Peruna
receives surely proves that Peruna is
without an equal as a nerve tonic and
vital invigorator.
Thousands of testimonials from wo-
men in all parts of the United States
are being received by DR.. Hartman
every year.
Buy a bottle of Peruna. If you do
not receive all the benefits from Peruna
| that you expected, write to DIR. Hart
