Monument to MirZ.

At the annual meeting of the Georgia
Division, United Daughters of the Con-
ftderscy, at Americus yesterday a report
of Mrs. A. B. Hull, of Savannah, the
president, who last year insugurated tht
plan to erct a monument to Major
Henry Wirz, the Andersouville prison
k, ,per, was read, In which she speaks oi
opposition to the plan in some sections,
as follows:
"Thefe was never any object under.
taken by our society that has met with
such widespread interest, such loyal sup
port and such violent antagonism. The
latter he's taken the widest form, in

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there. and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arat0 and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them TO be such, prescribes his
pills and potiOns. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant OF the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason Of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby disbelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead Of prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said, that "a disease known is half

Demand Higher Wages and Shorter
HOurs.

Demand Higher Wages and shorter
Hours.
Following on conferences between the
representatives of different branches Of
railway employees and the companies on
the western railroads, in which a resd'
iustment of the wage system, shorter
workday and higher wages are demanded,
the men on the eastern roads are asking
for readjustment of the wage, involving
more pay or shorter hours. According to
representatives of the railroad companies,
conferences are annually held to read
just wages and settle any grievances
which may have arisen, but say there is no
Likelihood OF any trouble. The eastern
lines involved up to the present are the
New York Central, Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western and the Central
Railroad of New Jersey.
Members of the railroad brotherhoods
do not take the matter as coolly as the
representatives of the companies. They
talk as if the matter YVES serious, and
saw that the enormous increase of traffic
on nearly all the systems of late years
uecessitstes q resdjustment of The wage
system. Conferences are being held or
or ave to be held between representatives
of the men aud the companies on three
roads nsmed, and it was said in New
York last night that the Reading, Penr-
sylvania and Erie Railroads will come
next.
In the Pennsylvania system negotia-
tions as to a readjustment of the wage
system have been opened by the train
men over the wage scale of 1907. The
company does moi expect any trouble
esst of Plttsburg, it is said, out the Joint
grievance commit, ,es of all the branches
of employees will soon begin meetings in
Philadelphia.
The principal organizations of railroad
men are the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, the Brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Firemeu, the Brotherhood OF Rail-
road Trainmen and the Order of Railway
Conductors. The trainmen's organiza-
ton takes 10 the switchmen, ysrdmen,
brakemen and 10 some cases the baggage
men.
1t is said that the demands on the
New York Central are more sweeping
than on the other roads. The men, 1t Is
said, want an increase in wages or the
eighl-hOur day where it is not altogether
IN force.

As was stated in yesterdays Gazette,
on September Is Miss Mae Parish came

Mr.. Ewell TO William Irwin Brooks, of
Maryland Miss Parish was telephone
operator at the Arlington Hotel, III
Washington. Yesterday Mrs Brooks filed
suit in the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia for limited divorce. She
claims that after 10 days Of welded
lite, which was one of continual
cruelty aud abuse, her husband drove
her from Lis home and compelled
her to seek shelter and support from a
friend.
Mrs. Brooks claims that after the mar
riage in Alexandria she and her husband
returned to Washington and stopped that
night at hotel. Next day she went to
friends house, while her husband
began to look for home into which
they were TO move. Three days later
he rented rooms Oh New York avenue,
where she Joined him and they resided
there for a week. On September 20,
MIs. Brooks told the courl, her husband
came home at o'clock in the morning
in an intoxicated condition, aud told
her that he had only married her simp-
ly to make her life miserable Where
upon, without cause, he wlfully beat
her and finally ordered her "to get out
of the house and stay out" Fearing
for her life, the young bride Of 10 days,

which is held in trust for him by a
Washington financial institution.

RICHARDS SENTENCED TO HANG.

RICHARDS SENTENCED TO HANI'
The jury in The case of John W. Rich
ards, the Floyd county school teacher,
charged with the murder Of Maurice K
Francis, Of Roanoke, who vas shot from
ambush on the public highway in Floyd
comfy on July 29, 1905, after deliber'
ating three hours yesterday afternoon,
retu rned a verdict of murder in the first
degree.
Counsel for the defense moved that
the verdict be set aside. Judge Moffett
overruled the motion, and sentenced the
Young school teacher to hang Jsnusry 8.
The defense noted an appeal to the Su-
preme Court.
When Judge Moffett passed sentence
on Richards he laughed, and walked cut
of the court and back to prison with the
same nonchalance that has characterized
him since his incarceration fiftesp months
ago.
The jury was special one from Pat
trick county. and this was the third
trial OF the case.
Richards was charged with shooting
Francis, who was en- route to Simpsons
to visit his 6auce, Miss Oracle Link,
and fix the day of their marriage. Rich
ards was desperately in love with Miss
Link, by whom he had been rejected.
1t was shown that he was seen in the
community in which the crime was com.
mitled on various occasions with q shot
gun and in disguise and always on the
DAYS on which Francis was expected
to visit Miss Link.
On the day following the murder
Richards escaped from the officers who
we're searching for him, and two weeks
later returned to bis fathers home half
starved and surrendered to detectives and
posse of citizens. He attempted to
prove an alibi by his relatives, but since
the last trial his father, mother aud
brother have died, they being his' priocl-
pal witnesses. Their testimony was ad-
mitted at the trial just ended. The YER
dict meets with general approval at
FlOyd.

How One Boy Won.

Wallace's Farmer tells how an To-
wa boy won some premiums at corn
show in that State. We do not raise
corn in this State, nor is there, as
yet, chance for boys to win prem
iums at any fair in this State. But we
advise the boys to follow the example
of the Iowa boy so fas as possible,
make yourself proficient in some
branch Of fruit or vegetable growing
and it will not be long before you
will have a chance to show your abili-
ty and gain something besides the
mere honor of winning premiums.
Hon Asa Turner, president of the
Iowa Corn Growers Association, and
whose enthusiasm in the corn i'm
prOvement campaign has been an in
spiration to the young men and boys,
writes about the corn show at the
Iowa State Fair as follows:
"Only small show in quantity, but
very fine in quality. For the sweep
stake $50 prize there were twenty
competitors, and it was the best
twenty ears ever brought out this time
of year at the fair Young Fawcett,
of Fawcett & Son, of Springdale,
was the winner of the much coveted
honor and money, and he won it fair
ly without question. Then when it
came to the ten-ear contest he took
first in Sectional, premium Of 5000;
first in sweepstakes, $50; making
$Ioo for the winnings of eleven ears
he had shown at the state fair. From
one who knew him personally I learn
