The day was when men of proml-

,nonials to proprietary medicines for
publication.

The highest men in our nation have

Men of all classes and stations are

A dignified representative of the Pres

smiley that he has used Peruna in
his family and found it cured when
other remedies failed. In this state

elder in his church.
The Pastors Letter.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Pres
hvterian Church of Greensboro, Ga,
writes:
Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives me pleasure to
testify to it's true worth.
NV little boy seven years of age
had been suffering for some time with
catarrh of the lower bowels. Other
comedies had failed, but after TAX

almost entirely disappeared. For this

For a long time was troubled with

NEWS OF A DAY IN
GEORGIA'S CAPITAL
FULTON COUNTY DELEGATION
STILL CAUSES DISCUSSION AMONG
THE LEADERS.

Sidney Tapp Says He VIII Not Stand

National COmmitteeman-He Does
Not Want Gray to SuppIant Howell
by Putting I'm III. Ii. Chbaniss-Sit-
uation in "a TangIe-RaiIrOad Com
mission Talks Freight Tariffs.
Atlanta, April 23.-The Atlanta Jour
nal has made no reply to the state
ment published this morning affirm
ing the fact that the Fulton county
delegation to the state convention was
named by Hon. Clark Howell at the
request of leaders of the two factions,
as represented by the two Parker
clubs. Both Mr.. Howell and Mr.. AL
bert Howell gave interviews to that
effect. To-day Mr.. Thomas B. Fell
der, Jr.. admitted to Mr.. Clark Howell
that Mr.. Howelrs statement of the
matter was correct.
Under the headline Gray Is Knit
ing Howell" the Atlanta News this
afternoon publishes a story to the
effect that Hon. J. r. Gray of the At
lanta Journal, who is candidate for
delegate from the state at large. is
going to st. Louis for the purpose of
opposing Mr.. Howell for reelection as
national committeeman from Georgia.
1t is presumed that Mr.. Gray pro-
poses to support Hon. H. II. Cabaniss
of the Augusta Chronicle.
Sidney Tapp, one of the delegates
to the state convention and a member
of the Fulton county Executive Com
mittee, who proposed the resolutions
indorsing Mr.. Gray at Thursdays
meeting, to-day notified Mr.. Gray that
If he opposed Mr.. Howell as national
committeeman he would withdraw his
support from him.
The situation is in considerable of
a tangle, and the politicians are try
ing to straighten 1t out and bring har-
mony out of chaos.
Hearing ON Freight Rates.
Some fifteen or twenty railroad traffic
men appeared to-day before the State
Railroad Commission at the hearing
of the question as to whether the en-
tire freight tariffs in Georgia should be
reduced. The question was brought
up by the Atlanta Freight Bureau, it
being claimed that the determinations
in freight rates, particularly inter-
states rates, were made against Allan
Ia. AS a remedy for this alleged dis
elimination the Railroad Commission
is considering the question of reducing
all the freight rates in the state.
Several prominent manufacturers and
business men. who are officials of the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the
Freight Bureau. were on the stand to-
day, and gave testimony as to rates,
showing how other competitive points
in this section Of the South have adj
vantage over Atlanta in the matter of
rates.
The commission took no action. but
continued the hearing until May 2,
when three days win be devoted to It.
II may be that Atlanta manufacturers
will ask the commission to bring the
matter to the attention of the Inter
state Commerce Commission.

COnvicts to Go to Island Shortly to
Continue Drainage Work.
The promise for an excellent season
at Tybee this spring and summer is
borne out both by the number of
buildings that are being erected as
summer homes, which residents of this
city are now building on the island,
but also by the demand that is al
ready apparent for cottages for rent,
and by the number of reservations
that the hotel arrangements have re-
eeived.
Mayor ]. G. Butler of Tybee said
yesterday that the demand for cot
tages on the island is larger than ever
before and that though number of
new ones have recently been built,
they will be unequal to meet the re-
quirements of the many applicants.
Among the new homes that are now
in the course of erection are a hand

and a similar structure in the same

Mr.. SRussy Made n Hit.
Mr.. Gordon Saussy was introduced
to respond to the toast THE British
Empire He made a humorous speech
and talked about everything imagin-
able except the subject which had
been assigned to him. His speech was
devoted mostly to dream which he
had on the night he learned of Col.
Testers reelection to Congress. The
address made a decided hit and Mr..
Saussy was loudly applauded.
Mr.. James P. Deacy sang Fore
bodings," and several recitations were
recited by members of the Victoria
Society. Several musical selections,
including king Dodo," 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner British Grena-
diers" and Rule Britannia" were
played by the orchestra while re-
freshments were being served to the
guests.
ROOseveIt's Narrow Escape.
Mr.. Charles S. Wood, who responded
to the toast Georgia" delivered a
scholarly address. He reviewed the
early British settlements in Georgia,
and told of the early struggles of Gen.
Oglethorpe when he first landed in
Savannah. He spoke of the greatness
of the Georgia of to-day, and declared
that it was, in fact, as we'll as name,
the Empire State of the South.
In speaking of the early settlement
of the British in America, Mr.. Wood
said: 1T may be interesting to note
just here that our present national
executive, President Roosevelt, who by
accident occupies his exalted station
is indebted to a fortunate deliverance,
some 100 years ago; for that, the Rev.
Archibald Stobo, one of his ancestors,
with his wife and a dozen other per-
sons, went ashore at Charleston, from
the Inflated ship Rising Sun, then re-
turning to Scotland loaded with refu-
gees from Darien, putting into port
Their for supplies. While the ship was
waiting for supplies, Mr.. Stobo was In
vited to come ashore and preach. The
next day a hurricane coming up, the
Rising Sun was blown out to sea and
persisted with all on board-the Rev.
Stobo and party thus being saved from
the perils which beset the others. You
will observe, therefore, that we came
very near having no Theodore Roose-
