SHOOTING AFFRAY
 RESULTS FATALLY Prominent Planter Killed and
 Four Men Wounded WAS RESULT OF DRINKING Persons Concerned Are Prominent and Tragedy ls the Worst Known In
 Limestone County for Years.
 Officers In Pursuit.
WAS RESULT OF DRINKING

Athens, June 25-(special)-B. F. Gris- ham. one of the most prominent men in the county, several times superintendent of education, and for years a leading merchant and planter at Elk river ten miles west of Athens. was shot and in stantly killed this afternoon at a barbe- cue near his home by John Morris, a wealthy planter. Morris also shot and it is said mortally wounded Prof. William Mcclellan, the present nominee for county superintendent of education. and Andrew Vaughan. the constable of that beat, and two other men.
 The shooting was the result of too much whisky. It IS said that Morris entered the ropes where the ladies were invited, mounted the table and was in very a very ugly mood. When MT. Grsham at tempted to quiet him he drew his re- volver and fired upon him, killing him in his tracks. and then fired on Mcclellan, shooting him just below the heart pro- ducing what is believed to be a fatal wound. Vaughan and others were shot in the effort Morris made to escape. He is a man of considerable means, but has been drinking for some time very hard.
 The wounded and dead men are among the most prominent in that section of the county, and this tragedy Is one of the worst m the annals of the county. The officers have gone In post haste, and it will be with difficulty that the murderer makes his escape. The Grisham brothers are all prominent and wealthy men and will make every effort to catch Morris.

Catarrh many invade any organ of the body; may destroy any function of the body. It most commonly attacks the head, nose and throat, but thousands upon thousands of cases of catarrh of the lungs, stomach, kidneys, bladder and other pelvic organs have been cured by Peruna.
 Peruna is able to cure catarrh wher- ever it may be located by It's direct ac- ton upon the mucous membranes. Ca tarrh means inhamed mucous membranes. Peruna acts at once to cleanse and invig- crate the catarrhal condition of the mu- cuous membrane, no matter where 1t may occur in the body. Its action is the same on the mucous lining of the nose as on the mucous lining of the bowels It cures the catarrhal inflammation wherever 1t may occur.
 Dr. R. Robbins. Muskogee, T., writes;
 "Peruna Is the best medicine l know of for cough and to strengthen weak stomach and to give appetite. Besides prescribing it for catarrh, I have ordered 1t for weak and debilitated people, and have not had patient but said 1t helped him. 1t is an excellent medicine and it fits so many cases.
 "I have a large prac' e and have a chance to prescribe your Peruna. l hope you may live long to do good to the sick and suffering"
 We say Peruna cures catarrh. The

RICHARDSON TALKS
 OF NEGRO PLANK
SAYS ROOSEVELT HAS RAMMED IT DOWN THE THROAT OF HIS PARTY FOR THE SAKE OF THE NEGRO VOTE.

Huntsville, June 25.-(Specia1 )--Repre- sentative William Richardson after read ing the platform promulgated at the na- tional republican convention. said in an interview: 'I truly deplore the introduce tion into the national campaign of such an inflammable issue as the proposed re- duction of southern representation. When republican talks about special discfim- ination in tLe elective franchise he means the negro In the south. The plank re- ferring to the unconstitutional limitation of elective franchise presents simply the negro issue in its worst form That plank Is the negro hurled defiantly by Theodore Roosevelt into the face of the south. Roosevelt is simply desperate about se- curing the negro vote This plank will give it to him but it will drive thousands of conservative white republicans of the north who are wearied out with the ne gro, from his support. This same ques- tion was before the house of representa- lives under the leadership of MT. Crum- packer It had hardly 'corporals guard of republicans supporting 1t, yet Roose- welt has rammed it down the throat of his party.
 ''Of course the democratic party will promptly accept the gage of battle thrown down. We ought to make the preamble of the constitution of the Unit ed States our answer. If Is this: We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union. establish justice, insure domestic tranquility and secure the blessings of liberty to our selves and to our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America No one can deny that this was confined to particular race. the white race, themselves and their posterity

Women are especially liable to pelvic catarrh, female weakness, as 1t Is com monly called Especia' y in the first few weeks of warm weather do the disagree able symptoms of female wealsneE make themselves apparent. In crisp, cold wealth CT chronic sufferers with pelvic catarrh do not feel so persistently the debigsst5 ing effects of the drain upon the system, but at the approach Of summer. with its lassltude and tired feelings, the sufferer with pelvic eatarrh feels the need Of a strengthening tonic.
 Peruna Is not only the best spring tonic for such cases. but if persisted in will perfect a complete cure. Write for copy of Health and Beauty, written espe- cially for women by Dr. Hartman. If you want to read of some cures also write for a copy of Facts and Faces. That will surely convince you that our claims are valid.

DECREASE IN THE
 SURPLUS RESERVE
BANK DEPOSITS ARE GREATEST ON RECORD AND ALL OTHER ITEMS IN BANK STATEMENT SHOW INCREASES.

New York. June 25-rhe Fnancier this week says:
 The striking features of the official statement of the New York associated banks last week were more or less inn portant increases in all the items except the surplus reserve, which decreased only slightly. The loans are now within $l2,- il5 400 of the highest ever reported. The neposists are the greatest on record, ex- reeding by $l1, 6O1, 300 the maximum shown In May ?, and the specie, legal tenders and total cash are the highest for the current year. Loans were increased last week by $17 f23, 400, a gain of $30,24S000 since June 4, the weeks increase was doubtless largely the result of negotia- tions of corporation loans. The near ap- proaeh of the July dividend period also affected loan operations. The total of these payments this week will aggregate about $137 900. The cash reserve rose E4,90S,000 or about one and four-ffths mil lions less the amount than was esti- mated upon the basis of the traceable movements on money during the week. The statement so far as regards cash was probably made on rising averages, the gains having been largest after the mid dle of the week.
 Deposits were increased by S21, ,301, GOO, making gain of $44,512. 200 The increase for the week, it may be noted, was less by s73O,0O0 than the sum of the gain in loans and in cash. and therefore the statement was slightly out of proof. The required reserve was increased $5325, 400, deducting from which the gain in cash, left $411,2 200 as the decrease in surplus re- serve to S3S, 452,675. Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of $23. 366 600 public funds, the surplus Is $44294, 325. Circulation was increased s217, ,300 making a gain in this item of s2,9G6, 400 since May A. The daily average of bank clearings for the week was sl76,000. GOO against STA 000,000 in the previouse week, rehecting increased activity on the Stock exchange. The clearings reported on Saturday were SIPS 465 275, or much above the daily av- craze.
 Presumably the increase in cash last week would have been greater and prob ably considerably in excess of the esti- mates, but for transfers or important amounts to Washington for the reinforce ment of the per cent redemption fund. This week the cash will be augmented by transfers hither of more than $1 ,Oo0000 Japanese gold from San Francisco, and

people say Peruna cures ca lrrh' Prom inent men and women all over the United States from Maine to California do not hesitate to come out in public print to say that Peruna Is what 1t ia recom- mended to be, an internal, systemic ca tarrh remedy that cures catarrh wherever 1t may be located.
 Dr. M. c. Gees Experience.
 pr. M. c. Gee is one of the physicians who indorse Peruna In a letter written from 513 Jones street, San Francesca, Cal, he says
 "There is general objection on the part of tho practising physician to ad- vocate patent medicines, but when any one medicine cures hundreds of peo- pie 1t demonstrates its own value and does not need the indorsement of the profession.
 "Peruna has performed SO many wonderful cures in San Francisco that 1 am convinced that 1t is a valuable remedy. have frequently advised its use for women, as find 1t insures reg Alar and painless menstruation, cures ieucorrhoea and ovarian troubles, and builds up the entire system. ] also consider 1t one of the finest catarrh remedies l know of heartily indorse your medicine."-M. c.
