A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children it ruins child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weaH
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like ffrebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, the blues" sleep
1essness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Doyou experience fits Of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Doyou feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound !;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.

Decision on School Tax Act.

Decision on School Tax Act.
According to an opinion rendered
Comptroller General Wright by Attor-
ney General Hart the provisions of
the revised McMichael school tax act
are not operative until next year, in
so far as the school districts are
concerned.
He aolds, however, that under the
old act the taxes in tae counties are
collectable this year. The recent
amendment passed expressly states
that the provisions are not effective
until January, 1907. Judge Hart holds
that this will probably prevent the
collection of special school levies in
districts, but where the entire county
has passed upon it that the tax can
be collected.

Reaplte Refused RAWLINGS.


grant another respite to j. G. Rawlings
and his two sons, Jesse and Milton,
who were recently re-sentenced to be
hanged on Friday, October 6, for the
murder of the Carter children in
Lowndes county. Attorney Cooper,
who is representing Rawlings and his
sons, asked the governor to grant
this respite On the ground that an
appeal had again been taken to the
supreme court Of the United States,
from the action of the state supreme
court in refusing to grant a new trial
upon an extraordinary motion
There is no doubt about the fact
that this second appeal to the Wash
ington court was taken merely for the
purpose of securing delay, and the
governor has declined to interfere fur
cher. The only course left is to Sc
cure a writ of supersedeas from the
supreme court of Georgia, from which
the appeal was taken, or an order
from the United States supreme court,
holding Up the execution until its de-
cision shall have been rendered.

Who will be the new president of
the Commercial association? At the
regular monthly meeting to be held
tomorrow evening, the annual selec-
tion of officers will occur. aud as a
result it promises to be the most in
ieresting session held for some time.
In view OF the present large mem
bership IN the association and the
work that ii is doing. the position of
president is one of Importance and
responsibility. Since the recent revi-
val in the association, during which
the membership was raised to over
400 and the gymnasium added, the
management of the club has naturally
become more difficult than I'm the past
Upon the new officials will devolve
the task of maintaining the present
interest and increasing the usefulness
of the organization if possible.
With the addition of so many young
men to the membership. there has
naturally been some Inconvenience on
account of the inadequacy of the pres
ent quarters Often the main room
has been filled with the younger
members, thus crowding out to a GER
tain extent some of the older MEM
bers. Consequently, it is now the
problem of the association to hold
both elements until additional room
may be secured. There is a general
desire for several small card rooms
in which congenial parties may con-
gregate free from the noise of the
large room. i
However. this is something that
will probably have to wait until the
dream of n club house becomes a re-
ality and in the meantime patience
and diplomacy upon the part of the
club members will be necessary i'm or
der to preserve harmony and maintain
a successful organization.
Since the departure of Mr.. Borie.
Vice President C. f.. Roosevelt has
been at the head of the association,
and would doubtles be chosen as pres
ident if he would accept. However,
Mr.. Roosevelt has already stated that
he does not wish the office. and it is
understood that he will not accept the
same. Others most prominently men,
toned are 7. c. Teylor and Leon
Cohen. Though neither of these men
are seeking the place, it is thought
by their friends that either would ac-
cept If chosen, and in view of their
long experience and acquaintance
either one would doubtless receive the
hearty support of AL the members
| after election.
In view of the election tomorrow
night it is desired that there be a
large attendance, so that the will OF
the association be properly made
| known.
