THE MILES INCIDENT AND THE AID
MlNISTRATlON.


The best comment on the Miles in
cident which has so far passed under
our notice comes the Portsmouth
Star. Says our contemporary;
Nobody cares, that is, nobody in the
South for the snub or insult that President
Roosevelt administered to General Miles.
Miles was pretty rough master himself,
when the conditions placed the parvenue
ever the paragon. But what wac the
political demand for the President OF the
United States to welcome Booker Wash

The Star expresses the whole mat

Miles incident, while exciting through
out the South no particular sym

THE RIFLE RANGE MAY
BEAT CAUSTEN'S BLUFF
Site There Will Be Examined by Committee
Sunday Afternoon

The special committee appointed by
the executive officers of the Interstate
Military Rife Association to examine
into the conditions of affairs at Avon
dale range, and ascertain whether that
range may be adapted to the use of the
Krag-Jorgensen rifle, or whether it will
be necessary to secure another site,
and if so, to proceed with the selection,
are busily engaged in their work.
An engineer was employed yesterday
to examine several sites, and to give
his expert opinion on the practicable
ity of changing the Avondale range so
that it may be suited to the Krag. He
has been instructed to draw plats of
any available sites. These sites will
be selected by the committee, who will
make a tour on horseback Sunday aft
ernoon for the purpose of ascertaining
what location will be best for a new
range.

IS YOUR STOMACH ON "A
STRIKE.
There Is Nothing to Prevent You
Employing n Substitute to Do
Its Work.

There is such thing as forbearance
ceasing to be virtue even in the case
of ones stomach. There is no question
but that some stomachs will stand a
great deal more wear and tsar and
abuse than others, but they all have
their limit and when that limit Is
reached, the stomach must be reckon
ed with as sure as fate. The best way
and really the only effective way to
treat your stomach when il rebels is
to employ a substitute to do its work.
This will give the weakened and worn
out organ an opportunity to rest and
regain its strength and health.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets relieve
the stomach of it's work by taking up
the work and doing 1t just as one set
or shift of workmen relieves another.
They actually digest the food in Just
the same manner and just the same
time as the digestive fluids OF the sound
stomach do. In fact, when dissolved in
the stomach, they are digestive fluids
for they contain exactly the same con-
stituents and elements as the gastric
juice and other digestive fluids of the
stomach. No matter what the condi-
ton of the stomach is, their work Is
just the same. They work in their own
natural way without regard to sur
rounding conditions.
The stomach being thus relieved by
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, is restore 4
and renewed by Nature and the rest
of the human body does no. suffer in
the least by reason OF its failure to
perform its work.
A Wisconsin man says: 'I suffered
the pangs of dyspepsia for 10 years. I
tried every known remedy with indif-
ferent results until l was told of the re-
markable cures OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. l bought a box, began taking
them, and forgot 1 had a stomach.
Three boxes cured me completely. I
have had no trouble whatever for a
year and have an appetite like a har-
vest hand and can eat anything that Is
set before me without fear of bad re-
suits"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at SOC a box The
druggist never fails to have them in
stock because the demand for them is
SO great and so pronounced that he can
not afford to be without them. People
who could not get them of one druggist
would go to another and would get in
the habit OF buying their other drugs
there as well as their Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets.

MERCER DEBATING
S0CIETY'S MEETING.

Omcers Elected and Work Mapped
Ont for Ensuing Year.
An interesting meeting of the Mercer
Debating Society was held yesterday
afternoon and the work for the ensu-
ing year mapped out. officers were
elected and the regular work of the
society will be taken up for the fall
and winter months. Much enthusiasm
was manifested by those present and
the outlook for successful year is
very bright
The Mercer Debating Society is an
organization formed for the purpose of
discussing and debating questions of
current interest. 1t aims to benefit the
members by giving them broader
view of the questions which are before
the public and to accustom them to
speaking before audiences on any ques-
ton that may be proposed. 1t is
connected with the public school work
in an indirect way and is named in
honor of Col. George A. Mercer, presi-
dent of the Board of Education.
A similar society for the young la
dies in attendance at the schools is
also conducted in conjunction with the
Mercer Society. This society is known
as the Arnold Debating Society, and
takes its name from DR.. Arnold, one
Of the former presidents of the Board
Of Education. The society is similar in
its aims and methods of conducting
the work to the Mercer Society. A
meetings for the election of officers
and directors will be held within a
short time and the work mapped out
for the coming year.
At the meeting of the Mercer Society
the regular programme which has been
carried out in past years was adopted
for the coming year. Arrangements
will be made for providing suitable
topics for discussion and every en-
deavor put forth to make the society
interesting and instructive for it's
members. 1t is probable that several
special programmes will be arranged
during the year.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-10-23


Among the sites discussed is one at
Causten Bluff, on the river front. 1t
is said that there is some high and
level land at the bluff which would
make a good range, and that the place
is naturally suited for a range. The
committee will visit this site Sunday.
AS stated exclusively in the Morn
ing News, Krags are not allowed on
the Avondale range, and it is prob
able that this ruling of the officials of
the range will obtain. until next year.
Those who are practicing, or attempt
ing to qualify, and there are num-
Der at the range every afternoon, are
using the Springfield rife.
The Guards will not use the range
on Thanksgiving Day, it having prac-
tically been decided to hold their an
nual contest on Feb. %, as has been
the custom, except for the past two
years. The number out to practice is
consequently not so great as hereto
fore, but those VINO are on the range
never hear the sharp distinctive crack
of the Krag.
