600 bales. of which 5000 bales. were
American. Continued rains in the east

HOME FOR AGED LOST

At this mornings session Of the book
binders convention a lively discussion
followed the report of the committee on
the resolution introduced at Tuesdays
session to consolidate the locals in the
large cities into one union. This reso-
luton was introduced by a delegate
from New York. The resolution had
but few sponsors. The argument ad-
vanced in its favor was that by uniting
the several locals into one local the
several branches of the trade would be
in a much stronger position to enforce
any just demand and that when a Ques-
ton came up that required quick action
II would not have 10 be referred to diff
ferent locals. After the debate had run
for nearly an hour the resolution was
referred back TO the executive board Of
New York locals.

IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE
CAPITAL TRACTION
FREELY MARKETED

The principal feature Of an otherwise
dull day on the local stock exchange
was the free marketing of Capital Trac-
tion stock and the stin freer offerings of
good sized blocks at near to the lowest
level.
On yesterday It was noted as being
ex-dividend for the first time and the
sale Of twenty shares was recorded at
1139s, with large blocks on a cash basis.
that is TO incluae the July dividend of
$3.50. at 145 Today the selling COM
menced at 1882. and on every bid the
stock was supplied until Il had fallen
full point. and continued offerings to
furnish additional lots found but weak
support the bid closing at l433s.
As the selling today came from a diff
ferent source from that which has ex-
iSted for several days past, and as the
friends Of the stock rallied but feebly
TO its support, there was considerabl
discussion as TO the cause, which failed
TO elicit any information.
There was also a striking absence of
he bullish tone on the stocks of the
Washington Railroad Company, which
has been so prominent during the earlier
Gays OF the week. and sales were re-
duced 10 small proportions at barely
current prices.
Washington Gas showed weakness as
did also Greene Copper. while Lanston
came in for small attention on sales of
zoe shares. The bond market also re-
lapsed into dullness.
At a meeting of directors Of the Frank
lin (Ffre) Insurance Company on the
John Cammack were elected to All va
cancieS in the board.

what is supposed 10 be q bEOken leg.
The two shots which took effect. were
fired by Richard McAtee, a deputy
sheriff at this place.
Victim Has Narrow Escape.
The excitement Of McAtee. as he fired
the first shot which pierced Smars right
arm. is supposed 20 be the only thing
which saved the latter's ife- The two
men were within ten feet OF each other
when the shot was fired The sheriff
is considered one OF the best shots in
the county The trouble grew out OF
an argument over an alleged debt Of
$50 between the two men They have
been at loggerheads for year over the
debt. which is said TO be dFe McAtee for
services rendered Small
Last night McAtee arrived al the point
where he believed patience ceased 10 be
a virtue and deposited a letter at the
postOffice for Small. stating that he
wanted the money Immediately, Small

The blow angered McAtee who clinch-
ed and for a few minutes the disputs
threatened to resolve Itself into a fist

and he reached for IT It is said that
he aimed for Small's heart. but the bull

alleged, started TO run. McAtee took
another shot at the flying object. the
bullet burying itself in tn flesh of

The victim OF the shots was weak
from the loss of blood but managed to
crawl behind building. McAte did not
pursue him II is thought that beyond
a possible fracture of the leg Small S
wounds are not serious.

IN PROSPEROUS CONDITION
Supreme Lodge, American ROYAL
Circle, is in Excellent Condition.

The annual meeting of the surname
lodge of the American ROYAL Circle
which was held in Bath "Wednesday
will probably prove of more than or
binary interest to many people in this
city because of the fact that the organ
iZatiOn is virtually an Augusta enter
prise and majority of the grand
lodge officers are citizens of Augusta.
When the meeting was called to order
in Red Mems Hall in the Shipping CITY.
it was found that the 20 lodges of the
state were all Represented by dele
gates, and large number Of the grand
lodge officers We're present. The an
nual reports Of the several officers were
read and accepted, and it is ascer-
tanned that the affairs of the order are
in n very satisfactory condition, and
noteworthy because of the fact that the
order has only been active since July
of last year.
During the past year, 500 policies were
issued and the total amount of insur-
ance now in force is $3SG0O The fol-
lowing officers were elected:

NERVOUS WRECK
Mrs. Green Was Slowly Wasting Away.
DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS SAVED
HER LIFE.
She Gained rs Pounds in Weight, Can
Walk and Work, and Praises the
Pills to Others.

General debility is term that covers
multitude of cases where there is no
acute disease, yet the patient continues
to lose strength and the doctors medi-
cines have no apparent effect. This il
the decline that leads tc death if means
are not found to check it. In a great
majority of the cases DIR. Williams'
Pink Pills will check it and restore
health and strength because they act
ually make new blood and so send re-
newed vitality to every organ and It's
sue of the body.
Mrs. :. A. Green, whose address is
Box 80. r. F. d. No. 4, Franklin, Ga,
says: For three and half years |
suffered with weakness and nervous
ness, complicated with stomach trouble.
At times l was confined to my bed for
periods ranging from three weeks to
two months and was under the phySi-
clans care most of the time for three
years. / do not know the cause Of my
trouble but | was Frustrated with
weakness and, although | took a great
deal of medicine, nothing seemed to
ach hurt me something fearful and my
less and what sleep | did get did not
refresh me.
when | began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. which did because 4 friend
insisted on it, / weighed but 1O4 pounds.
/ knew l was so bad that few doses
would not cure me and l had patience.
Soon the pills began to give me
strength, my blood got in better con-
dition, l could sleep well at night and
help some with the homework. Now
/ weigh 100 pounds and think
nothing of walking half a
mile. DR.. Williams Pink Pills have
done wonders for me and the neighborS
all know this statement is true
DR.. Williams Pink Pills actually
make new blood. That is all they do.
but they do it well. They don't act on
the bowels. They won't cure any dis
ease that is not caused by bad blood.
They cure anaemia, rheumatism, head
aches and many forms of weakness in
the most direct manner and, as the
nerves depend upon the blood for nour-
ishment, they strike at the root Of such
diseases as neuralgia, Sciatica. partial
paralysiS ard have been used with the
greatest benefit, even in cases of loco
motor ataXia.

all druggists. or will be sent by mail.
