agent III Iva, has been notified by the
postmaster general at Washington
that he will receive Il reward of one
hundred dollars for his services in aid
ing IN the capture of the men who rob

qurntly arrested at Talb0ttOn, Ga,
and Mir. McGtc saw from the news
paper account of the matter that the
Ilcu had IN their possession a gold
watch whose number cOrrcspOndcd
with tie ore that had been stolen from
the safe at Iva. With this important

Reduced Freight Rates.

Last Saturday r. S. Ligon received
a telegram from T. c. Powell, freight
traffic manager of the Southern ruil-
way, announcing that freight rates to
Anderson from Western ana Eastern
points had been made the same as to
otncr functional points in the Pied
mont section.
For years Anderson has suffered
from freight discrimination as com
pared with other points in this section,
owing to the fact thar Anderson is on
Il branch line. While efforts have
oeen made to correct this evil, Andcr-
son people havcprctcrrcd not to a;lvcr-
tlse 10 the world the handicap under
which they were struggling and little
mas been said al OFT it in the papers.
a year ago special committee, rcpre-
sentinE the Chamber of Commerce,
Win IL. ,. Lyon as chairman, went to
WORK on the matter. Evidence and
iata were collected, showing just how
Anderson was suffering, and this was
submitted to the railroad officials.
they were made to see the point, and
trecly agreed to remove the discrini-
nation anu put Anderson on an equal
aootng with other points. II has
taken considerable time and work to
accomplish this, and many freight
schedules have been revised in order
20 MAKE III practicable, but IL has at
last been accomplished and will now
go into effect.
1t rs estimated that the reduction
that has been secured will amount to q
saving OF from S50,00O to 80, 900 year
or the frelghts now handled In other
words, Anderson merchants have been
paying this amount every year in eX-
cessive freight rates This will be
saved IL the future, and the business
of the city will of necessity grow very
rapidly, as Anderson merchants will be
enabled to extend their territory and
compete with merchants of o Other places
which have heretofore lad very great
advantage over them.

as saying in reply to the question

FEMALE DISORDERS.
These Troubles Are Nearly Always
Caused by Torpid Liver, Poor
Digestion and Irregular
Bowel Movements.
To Permanently Cure Them the Liver,
Stomach and Bowels Must
Be Put Right.

It is fact well known to medical men
that very large majority of the weak
ness, irregularities and disorders pecu1-
lar to women are due to a torpid liver
and constipated condition of the bowels
In men diseased liver produces kidney
trouble; in women the genital organs
being more delicate than the kidneys
are first affected, the disease spreading
later to the kidneys. To all women who
suffer irregular, excessive or suppressed
nenses, 1eucorrhoa (whites) womb
trouble, pain or irritation we say Prick1y
Ash Bitters offers you speedy and per-
manent relief. It puts the liver in Wig
orous condition, empties and c1eanses
the bowels and tones up the female
organs. With the liver and bowels ac-
tive and healthy those distressing bearing
down side and back pains, spells of
nausea will quickly disappear, giving
place to a feeling of vigor and buoyancy
of spirits. The eye is frightened, the
complexion is cleared, the whole body
strengthened and improved, thus chang
ing weak, nervous, respondent woman
into one of sparkling health and cheer
fulness. Prickly Ash Bitters is in this
respect boon to suffering womanhood.
AS kidney remedy it has merit of the
highest order. The experience of years
has proven that it is more successful in
the mild or chronic forms of kidney dis
ease than any of the widely advertised
remedies of the present day.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure in red on the front label.

ing money away, yet to-day these
same lots are selling at from
forty to fifty dollars, The whole
settlement has been built up and
William Addition has become an
i'm portant part Of Columbus.
Several years ago the Robert
sons bought the old pine groves
back of the College. Atthat time
it looked like an extremely
hazardous venture but what has
been the result? Robertson S
Addition has made them thous-
ands of dollars and it is now the
homes OF hundreds of our best
people.
Last year two lot sales occur
red and this season finds the lots

located only one block north of |
North Third Avenue and from |
their location they are easily |
worth from three to five hundred |
dollars. The whole neighbor-
hood has been built up and the
