The time-worn injunction, "Never
put off til tomorrow what you can do
today" is now generally presented in
this form: do it today" That is the
terse advice we want to give you about
that hacking cough or demoralizing
cold with which you have ben strug-
Cling for several days, perhaps weeks.
Take some reliable remedy for it today
and let that remedy be DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup, which has been in use
for over thirty-6ve years. A few doses
of it will undoubtedly relieve your
cough or cold, and it's continued use
for a few days will cure you COM
pletely. No matter how deep-seated
your cough, even if dread consumption
has attacked your lungs, German
SYrRp will surely effect cure-as it
has done before in thousands of appar-
emily hopeless cases of lung trouble.

COST NOTHING UNLESS CURED
Fair Offer Made by Dawson Drug
Co. to Catarrh Sufferers.

Dawson Drug Co. are selling Hyomei
on plan that has caused considerable
talk amongst their customers.
The plan is different from that fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the rem
edy itself is different also. This treat
ment for catarrh has such an
unusual record of cures to it's credit
that Dawson Drug Co. offer to
refund the money if it does not give
the desired benefit. This is certainly
one of the fairest offers that can be
made, and any one who has catarrh
and does not take advantage of it is
doing himself or herself an injustice.
Do not suffer any longer with tick
ling, smarting, burning, eye-watering
troubles that affiict those who have
catarrh. Hyomei will! cure you, but if
you should not find it adapted TO your
case Dawson Drug Co. will return your
money.

and the large volume of water therein
10000 gallons-fell to the earth
with noise like cannon boom.
In the fall and suction resultant the
top of the tank was drawn through,
dislocating large pieces of iron ana
greatly damaging both the tank and
tower. The tank and tower was built
ten years ago at a cost of $4,000. 1t
will take at least half that amount and
possibly more to repair the damage.
The tank was twenty-one feet in diam.

TRAIN KILLS SECTION BOSS
HENDLEY JONES LOSES LIFE IN THE
DISCHARGE OF HIS DUTY.
Heavily Ladened Freight Was Bearing On
His Car, and While Moving 1t from
Track Engine Struck Him.

Mr.. Hendley Jones, section foreman
on the Albany and Columbus branch
of the Seaboard Air Line, was killed
by a freight train near Renfroe, in
Stewart county, Thursday.
While riding on hand car, accom-
panied by three negro workmen, an
extra freight train loomed up in front
OF the startled men. The train was
going down grade, and was rapidly
bearing upon the frail section car, the
heavy loaded cars adding to its swift
momentum.
The negroes, seeing their impending
peril, jumped for safety, leaving Mr.
Jones the sole occupant of the car
Realizing the impossibility of the
freight engineer bringing his heavy
train to sJandstill, and approaching
the danger that threatened the train
and crew, he, unaided, stopped the
car and removed the obstruction, al
lowing the train to pass safely by, but
before he could step out of reach he
was struck by the engine and died in
a few hours.
Mr.. Jones was a brother of Mr.. G.
G. Jones of this county, and is survived
by a wife and two children.

Bottom cuhbert and 10000 Gallons of
Spilled.

The tank and tower still remain
standing, the tank being without bot
tom or top, and both out of shape in
part. In the meantime the city is
using direct pressure from the pumps.
The generally accepted theory as to
the cause was some weakness at the
bottom of the tank developing, not
withstanding the fact that the same
had been kept filled daily and nightly
for ten years-since the tank was in
stalled.
The tank and tower were near the
Eastern cemetery, and the great vol
ume of water falling dislodged some o
the nearby monuments.

the moon hasn't risen Dawson streets
