JEwELRY IS STOLEN.
Daring Burglars Make God Haul From
Brooklyn Home.

Brooklyn Home.
New York, Feb. 11.--A daring burg
larry was committed some time between
and 10 o'clock last night in the resi-
.dence Of Miss Ethel Moore, at 81 VIII
low street (Brooklyn), when nearly
$4,000 worth Of jewelry was carried off.
Miss Moore has three servants. In
cluding a butler. Last night she went
out sleigh riding, leaving the servants
in the house. When she got home,
shortly after 10 o'clock, she found her
rooms on the third floor in confusion.
The bureau drawers had been ran
sacked.
When the police OF the Adams street
station were notified an investigation
was started by Detectives Marion and
Mahon. It was discovered that the
scuttle had been broken open and en-
trance effected in that way. 1t was also
learned that the cellar door of me ad-

CRUISER TENNESSEE
SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED
Gov. Frazier's Daughter Christened
the Ship at Cramps Yard.

Gov. Frazier's Daughter Christened
the Ship at Cramps Yard.
Philadelphia, Dec. 3.-The armored
cruiser Tennessee was launched to-
day at the yards of the William
Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine Build
ing Company in the presence of dis
tinguished guests from the state for
which the vessel is named and a num-
Der of navy and army officials. The
christening party included Gov. Fra
zier, his staff, Mrs. Frazier and their
daughter, Annie Keith Frazier, who
was sponsor for the ship.
Up to almost the moment when the
big warship started down the ways a
drizzle of sleet and rain fell continu-
ally, but during the actual launching
the sun shone through the clouds, the
sky again becoming overcast shortly
after the ship took the water
Miss Frazier carried a huge bouquet
of American Beauty roses, to which
was attached a bottle of champagne,
and as the vessel quivered as II was
about to take its initial dip, Miss Fra
zier struck the PROV two resounding
blows, at the same time pronouncing
the baptismal words in a clear voice.
As the Tennessee glided into the
Delaware river there was a great cheer
from the spectators, and the various
craft i'm the stream gave many shrill
and prolonged blasts from their whis-
ties. Driven by stiff northeast wind,
the river was rapidly running down,
and the vessel was launched imme-
diately upon the arrival of the chris
tening party ten minutes before II
o'clock, the hour scheduled. Imme-
diately after the launching luncheon
was served in the mould loft.
The Tennessee delegation left for the
South tonight

Atlanta, Dec. SIT is generally re-
made graceful escape from what prom
ised to be a hopeless cause when it
consented to revoke circulars S01 and
302 and thus end the litigation which
had been brought on by the protest of
the railroads.
In fact, one of the attorneys repre-
senting the states side of the case,
admitted as much.
81 don't believe we could have won
the case" he said, land we are more
than glad to have been let down so
easily"
If there was such a lack of conf
dence on the part of the states coun-
sci and so strong a belief on the part
of the attorneys for the railroads in
their ultimate success, why, 1t may be
asked, were the latter the first to slg-
gest dropping the litigation with a
view to offering a compromise in the
hope that it might be acceptable to the
commission?
Railroads Don't Want to Lose Favor.
1t is believed that the secret of this
lies in the desire of the railroads to
lose nothing in public favor If they
can offer a solution of the rate prob
lem which will prove acceptable, il
will certainly be to their credit. If
not, they will be in a position to point
to generous concessions offered.
But in all this the Railroad Com
mission likewise gains an advantage
already pointed out, in that 1t will no
longer be hampered by threats made to

NEGROES WHO FLED FROM
BULLOCK ARE RETURNING.
Say They Had Hard Times Getting
Work and Are Back to Stay.

Ah0 AEC btAEtA u CtAts
Statesboro. Ga. Dec. 3.-Following
the talk of negroes leaving Bulloch
county when Reed and Cato were
burned for the killing of the Hodges
family, more than two months ago,
and the prediction that there would
hardly be a dozen negro families left
in the county by Jan. l, has developed
that all of those who left and could get
back, did not remain away long, and
are here working as though nothing
had ever happened. Those still away
are trying to get money to return as
soon as possible. Some of them eX-
perlenced rather a hard time in get
ting anything to do after making
known the fact that they were from
Statesboro or Bulloch county. Some
of them claim they had to come back
as they could not get work. and, be-
sides, they were continually under sus-
picion and were accused in many cases
of being directly or indirectly connect
ed with the burning of the Hodges
family since they had left the county.
Some of them went to Florida, South
Carolina, North Carolina and Alabama,
but met with the same reception as
those who stopped nearer home.
Generally speaking, they have little
70 say. ana attribute their leaving to
the diligence and strenuous work of
the "All Night Club" another organi-
cation supposed to have been gotten
up in this county just after the burn
ing of the Hodges family, to cope with
the supposed Before Day Club"
which was considered at that time a
club actually existing.
One negro who stayed away nearly
two months said that Bulloch county
is now his home for the remainder of
his life. During the time he was away
he had been to several places in Geor-
gia and South Carolina, and found it
almost impossible to get work, when
1t was known that he was from Bull
loch county. Had it not been for an
occasional hand out by some of his
own race, he said, he never could have
held out to walk from Charleston, S.
c., to Statesboro, where he knew there
were plenty of good rations to be had
for the asking.
A few negroes sold what they had at
almost a sacrifice and left the county
after the lynching, with the intention
of staying away the remainder of their
lives, but nearly all of them have re-
turned.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body i'm Health and
Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us
our daily dose of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and
fall blood purifier" tonic and cure
all, and mind you, this old-fashioned
remedy was not without merit.
The idea was good. but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in palatable, con-
centrated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than table,
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and ex-
pertinent have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use is that OBJ
tanned from Calcium Calcium Sui
phide) and sold in drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Calcium Waters.
They are small chocolate coated pei
lets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in a highly con-
centrated. effective form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
health; sulphur acts directly on the
liver, and excretory organs and puri-
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary
flowers of sulphur were often worse
than the disease, and cannot COM
pare with the modern concentrated
preparations of sulphur, of which
Stuarts Calcium Waters is undoubt-
edly the best and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
DR.. r. NJ. wilkins while expert.
menting with sulphur remedies soon
found that the sulphur from Calcium
was superior TO any other form. He
says: For liver, kidney and blood
| troubles, especially when resulting
! from constipation or malaria, / have
been surprised at the results obtained

RAILROAD COMMISSION
MADE A GRACEFUL ESCAPE
When Ii Decided to Revoke Circulars 301
and 302

cut interstate rates if the railroads re-
fused to make reductions on interstate
charges, which was considered tanta-
mount to an interference with inter
state commerce and which was made
one of the two main points in the bill
for injunction brought by the rail-
roads.
VIII Fight Shy of Orders.
1t may be said that the commission
will fight shy of such obstacles in the
event it is again called upon to pass
orders cutting down rates. 1t is also
unlikely that the commission will
again attempt to pass sectional orders,
orders reducing rates for particular
cities to the disadvantage of others.
Should it be called upon again to pass
an order similar to 301, it is safe to
say it will apply equally to Savannah
and Atlanta, and to all other cities
in the state where competition cuts a
figure in rate making.
Waiting on New York Meeting.
Much is hoped for from the meet
ing of Southern railroad executive Of
ficers, which will be held in New York
city Monday. Col. Ed. Baxter, of Nash
vile, attorney for the railroads. has
gone on to New York in accordance
with his promise, to urge his clients
to go as far as possible in changing
the present system of rates so as to
satisfy the Georgia compliments. IN
til that meeting has been heard from
nothing can be predicted with regard
to the future of the question.
1t is not likely that the commission
will get all it wants. The main ques-
ton is, will it be satisfied to make
concessions, and such concessions, too,
as may be far from it's ideas of what it
ought to get
