When old age comes on, catarrhal dis

almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become

is their safeguard. Pcruna is the only

HIS DEATH is QUITE a SHOCK
MIR. Samuel l.. Heys Died Suddenly
Friday

The announcement yesterday IF Ter
noon Of the death of Mr.. Samuel l..
Heys was as surprising as it was sud-
der, and proved q shock to hundreds
of friends here who only an hour be-
fore had met him upon the streets ap-
parently in his usual good health.
Mr.. Heys expired about o'clock in
the afternoon, death possibly resulting
from some heart trouble.
During lthe morning hours he had
mingled pleasantly with friends about
the city, and these little thought that
in an hour he would be dead.
At noon he went to his home on For.
rest street, and after dinner said to
members of the family that he was GO
ing to lie down and take q nap. With.
out undressing he lay upon his bed
and pulled his overcoat about him
And here, as he slept, the dread mes.
senger came.
When member of the family went
to arouse him he was cold in death.
Mr.. Heys was native of Suntel
county, and had always resided here
For years he has engaged in farming
but recently sold bis plantation and
moved to the city. He was about So
years CT age, and is survived by two
sons, who resided with him.
Mr.. Heys was Confederate :veteran

TEAM OF MULES GO

Bad Accident Near Americas
Reported.
LONG BRIDGE OVER MuckALEE.

Mr.. John Peel, his colored driver,
four fine mules and wagon load of
guano by the collapse of the county
bridge near the Huckabee place on the
road from Americus to Smithville ct a
point south of the city.
And that men and mules were not
drowned is indeed miracle.
The accident occurred Thursday af-
ternoon as Mr.. Peel was returning
home from business trip to Amer!-
cus, and was reported 10 the proper
authorities mere yesterday morning.
The four mule wagon contained
nearly two tons of fertilizer, besides
other purchases, and as it reached that
portion of the bridge spanning the
stream the structure collapsed and
men, mules and wagon plunged head
long into the muddy waters.
AS might be expected, great excite
ment reigned for moment.
Mr.. Peel and the negro driver bare
ly escaped drowning amid the wreck
of wagon and struggling mules, Su
managed to save themselves ard ex
tricated the animals as well.
Two of the four mules were more OF
less injured by falling bri 1ge tim
bers, hut will recover Much if no
all the fertilizer was lost, along will
other contents of the wagon. The We
hicle, too, was broken up considerably
in going into the creek
The bridge, it is said. had been con
sidered unsafe for some time.

VETERANS MUST PAY LICENSE
important Decision is Rendered Upon
Subject.

Confederate veterans must pay the
special license tex LEVIED by cities
wherein they propose to do business
This is an important matter just passed
upon by the supreme court in a case
from Atlanta, but applies equally to
Americas and other cities. The su-
preme court holds that while the state
law providing that the ordinary may
issue to Confederate veterans q free
license to peddle, permitting veteran
holding such license to peddle without
paying the state anything for the
privilege, this does not relieve such
veterans from paying license to any
city or town which requires such pay
ment The decision is an important
one, as Confederate veterans have
heretofore held to the IMPRESSION that
the license iesned by the ordinary
permitted them to peddIe free OF
charge anywhere within the limits o.
the state.

Proper Treatment CT Pneumonia,

Pneumonia is too dangerous d.
sease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself. although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A physisi-
clan should always be called, It
should be borne in MIND, however,
that pne umonia always results from a
cold or from an attack of the grip, and
by the proper treatment of these d.
seaees threatened attack of pneum :
MIA may be warded off. There is 10
question whatever about this. as dur
ing the thirty years and more that
amberlain's Cough Remedy has been
used, we hava yet to learn of single
case of cold or attack Of the grip hsv-
ing resulted in pneumonia when the
remedy was used. It is also used
by physicians in the treatment of pneu-
monia with the be- results Dr.. w
