M1LI1oNA1RE's POOR STOMACH.

The wOfn-out stomach of the ovcr-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the pub
lie prints as horrible example OF the
evils attendant ON the possession of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greate-
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and in
digestion are rampant among these peo-
pie, and they suffer far worse fortunes
than the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of standard medicine like
Green's August Flower, which has been
favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over IS years. Au-
gust Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus
creating appetite and insu-ing perfect
digestion. 1t tones and vitalizes the en-
tire system and makes life worth living

Strange story of a Lynching in
Holly Hill, s. C.

Strange story of Lynching in
Holly Hill, s. C.
4 Columbia, S. c.. March 1.--South
Carolina has just had another lynch
ing. the story of which makes one of
the most remarkable and unique chap
tiers in the criminal history of the
state.
Saturday morning last a strange ne
gro giving in turn the names Richard
Johnson, John Brown and Joe Swim
son, arrived in the town of Holly Hill,
Berkeley county. He was in a tur-
bulent humor and told the town mar
shall that strange niggers sometimes
kill buckra."
After a few hours the negro became
very obstreperous and was finally ar
Ghsted for disorderly conduct. He
was so violent that it became neces-
sary to handcuff him and tie him Sc
curely with ropes after he was placed
In the town calaboose.
The authorities Thought no more
of the matter until Sunday, when the
dead body of the negro was found in
vacant tenant house some distance
from the town. The body, with seven
bullet holes in ii, was sitting erect by
the side of the wall, still wearing the
handouts.
The story of what happened to the
negro after he had been placed in the
ealahoose is told by another negro
living near the house in which the
body was found to whom the wound
ed negro talked after he was shot.
I'm the night two white men came
and took me out and down the rall-
road near culvert; shot me and threw
me in the ditch for dead. but l wasn't
dead; / got up and came here"
This is the story he told a negro
named Manuel. at whose house the
wounded negro stopped and asked t
stay, but as he was still handcuffed
Manuel was afraid to give him shelter
but directed him to a vacant house
where he went.

GEORGIA'S CAPITAL
POLITICIANS RETURN HOME.
FEW fingered To SEE STATE
HOUSE OFFICIALS.

Discussion of the Political SituatioT
shows That Chief Interest Centeri
in the Local Contests and in the
Election of Delegates to the Ma
tiOnaI Democratic Convention
Time Has Come for the Use of the
New Text Books.
Atlanta, March practically all of
the politicians who came here for the
State Executive Committee meeting
have returned to their homes. A few
remained over to discuss the situation
with the people at the State House.
They say generally that the main in
terest in politics this year is conferred
in the local contests in the counties
and senatorial districts. where some
pretty hard fighting will be seen in
certain sections.
The main contest before the State
Convention will be that for delegates
from the state at large to the National
Democratic Convention. The district
delegates are selected and presented
to the convention by the state dele
gates from each congressional district,
but the convention itself votes on the
delegates from the state at large.
Among those who are candidates or
who have been mentioned in connec-
ton with the position are Chairman
z. T. Brown of the State Committee;
Judge Joel L. Sweat of Waycross, Hon.
w. w. Osborne of Savannah, Hon.
Warner Hill of Greenville, Judge H.
H. Perry of Gainesville, Congressman
J. M. Griggs of the Second district,
w. M. Clements of Eastman, G. r.
Pendleton of Macon, Hon. Washing
ton Dessau of Macon and Hon. Boy
kin Wright of Augusta. Others are
expected to get into the fight.
There are only four delegates from
the state at large to be chosen.

State School Commissioner w. B. Mer-
rift has received reports showing that
the new books are already in use in
most counties of the state. In quite
a number of counties, however, the
higher readers, the higher history and
the civil government have not been re-
ceived.
The publishers claim they are push
ing the books to all the counties as
rapidly as possible, and will have them
thoroughly distributed over the state
within the next week. Commissioner
Merritt says where the contracts are
not complied with, it may necessitate
annulling them.

of the present executive secretaries in
Gov. Terrelrs Office, has announced his
candidacy for senator from the Ninth
district. 1t is said he will have no OPP
