 No one deplores the destruction of property more than we do, as our or ganizatlon stands for law and order, and if searched the annals of the courts will show a vast decrease of violation of law at places where miners are on strike, notwithstanding the almost intolerable provocation and persecution they have had to contend with during those months

CORRIDOR TALK OF

agreed that President Carmichael and h. spector Brogg will be renamed, with predominence of speculation in favor of Judge Thomas Bradford also making the landing. In some way the impression has gained creddence that If Acting Governor Cunningham makes the appointments there will be no changes, but if Governor Jelks gets back In time to take it up doubt exists about what he will do. One hears that when Judgen Bradford was named two yesrs ago there was some kind of understanding that he was to move his family to a part of the state where is frequently called by his duties, instead of living far away, as he does, in Cherokee county, and that he is to be charged up with this failure. Many do not think this will make any difference and expect to see the board remain as it is. A well known official spoke about this way concerning the failure of Judge Bradford to move nearer the convict camps. "That ought not to make any difference. Governor JellSs has been out of the state for nearly a year and has been drawing his salary all the time, and I am glad he is receiving the money for he deserves it. Objection to Judge Bradford because he lives some ways from his work would come with very poor grace from the Governor in the light of present circumstances. however" The strength of Judge Bradford's position seems to lie also in the lack of mention of any one to take his place.

REBECCA'S TRIUMPH
 IS GREAT SUCCESS
We'll Known PeHsie of Union Springs Take Part In Pre-
 sentation.

Union Springs, Feb. Special )-Last beeca's Triumph" was presented by ff- teen of Troy's lovely maids and matrons, under the auspices of the local lyceum. The house was packed and the play was well given, indeed it would have done credit to professionals. The little play runs along the lines of rivalry in love, which later turns into jealousy and hate, separating two sisters. but leaving one in the lap of luxury. while the others and hers are left to suffer the bangs of want and sorrow. Then after a lapse of years comes justice and retribution.
 The cooking school formed a chorus of bright, jolly girlc which lent zest to the play throughout. The following partici- pated: Miss Knox, Miss Winkler, Miss sallie Williams, Miss Nell Murphree Miss Wood, Miss Hume Miss Cowart. Miss chaffin, Miss Allison, Miss Piley, Miss Beard Miss Alverson, Miss Sara Will Hams, and Mrs. Leon White, Mrs. Carl Tutwier, Mrs. Mark Ellison and MT. George Hodge. who between acts gave a number of cornet solos.
 After the play the young men of the town complmented the young ladies with a dance. It was led by MT. Motier Ely ably assisted by Miss Evely Knox of Troy.
 The news of the death of Miss Genie Chapman, which occurred suddenly at College Park, Ga, few days ago, comes as a great shock to her many friends here. Miss Genie often visiter her grand parents. MT. and Mrs. Strickland. and was quite a favorite here.

A CARD.
w. R. Falrley Writes About Fire In
 Sumter Mines.


 My attention was called to an ar ticle published in The Age-Herald of Wednesday, February 15, 1905, relative to the fire now raging at Sumter mine, Blue Creek. in which President Don H. Bacon of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company is reported as saying: That the mine was set on fire Sunday in five places. presumably by union miners"
 I hope Mir Bacon has been incorrectly reported, as this insinuation is a very serious one. and is an injustice to the union miners unless he is in possession of absolute proof of such grave insin- uation.
 And such proof I now challenge him to produce, and 1 venture the opinion that the task will be more than he can accomplish in face of the fact, that all mines controlled by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company have armed guards employed since the strike be- gan. We have had a careful investiga- ton made of the cause of the fire at Sumter mine.
 Hence my reason in not answering his reported statement on the following day.
 Our information is. that fires have late- ly been made in the mines by men who are working on night shifts and Sun- days. for the purpose of warming their meals Gin their buckets) before partak- ing of the same.
 But Unfortunately on this occasion they fell asleep, and when aroused from their slumbers. they found the fire raging so fiereely that they ran and escaped | from the mine.

C ISTERS or PROVIDENCE, Mother A0 House, Montreal, Can, writes:
 We are happy to say that mum. Der of our sisters of our community have taken Peruna and have derived great benefit from it's use."
 The winters of Canada are long and severe. Catarrh of the head and throat prevails for at least seven months of the year.
 As soon as Peruna was introduced into Canada, it's use spread like wild-fire, for it exactly met the climatic diseases which abounded.
 Catarrh, when it once fastens itself upon the system, is not to be dislodged by the use of local remedies.
 A systematic remedy is needed to eradi- cate the disease. Peruna exactly meets this necessity.
 In the whole history of medicine. no remedy was ever devised that has been so universally recognized as 8 specific for catarrh.
 It not only breaks up promptly coughs and colds. but it can be relied upon to permanently cure catarrh in it's worst stages and forms

No China Made In Dresden.
February IS, 1905.

From the Scientific American.
 To those connoisseurs who evince great pride in their collections of Dresden china 1t will come as a great shock to learn that today there Ys no such product under this name. although sold IS such. In the course of a prosecution in London, where a firm was prosecuted for selling ware as Dresden and marking the goods as such 1t was stated that no china is man ufactured at Dresden. The name is ap- piled to the products of the royal fac tory at Meissen. Furthermore, many pottery decorators at Dresden work upon china that is manufactured at different places, is transferred to that city, re- ceives it's imprint, and is then disposed of as Dresden china.

People who have been afflicted with catarrh for twenty years have found Pe- runa to be a prompt and efficient rem edy.
 Good Shepherd, of Montreal, writes:
 "Having used Peruna for the past few months for our sick and poor, we are happy to say that it has given us great satisfaction"
 In a later letter. dated November 7, 1903, the same institution writes:
 "We found Perrna relief in sew eraI cases. We can say it is good tonic and we are very thankful"
 The following letter Is from Hospital St. Jean, Longue Pointe:
 "We have been using your Peruna during the past month and we take pleasure in stating that the results ob- tained thus far are most satisfactory"
 A later letter from this institution is as follows:
 "We have used your remedy in a number of different cases and the re- suit obtained is very qood."
