Nav Construct New Line

Macon, Ga. Jan. 31.-A meeting
of the directors of the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah railway has been an
nounced for. next Monday at the gen
eral offices of the road. The pur-
pose OF the meeting has not been
made public, and officials could not
be induced to discuss the plans. On
account of failure to get a meeting
some time ago it was believed that
nothing would take place regarding
the actual transfer of the road to the
Seaboard until the annual meeting in
March. The meeting for Monday
is an important one. The question
Of the construction Of a new line to
Atlanta is likely TO become the fore
most one. Plans for taking over the
road and making it part of the Sea-
board and making the required
changes as to offices and divisions are
also to be discussed

A Bold Step.

To overcome the Well-grounded and
reasonable objections of the more intel
ligent to the use of secret, medicinal COM
pounds, DR.. II. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo, n.
Y, some time ago, decided to make a bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers o. put-up medicines for do
mestic use, and SO has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, a full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering into the composition of his widely
celebrated medicines. Thus he has taken
his numerous patrons and patients into
his full confidence. Thus too he has re-
moved his medicines from among secret
nostrums of doubtful merits, and made
them Remedies Of Kll0lUn Composition.
By this bold step DR.. Pierce has shown
that his formulas are OF such excellence
that he is not afraid to subject them to
the fullest scrutiny.
Not only does the wrapper of every bottle
of DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery, the
famous medicine for weak stomach, torpid
liver or biliousness and all catarrhal diseases
wherever located, have printed upon it. il
plain English, full and complete list of all
the ingredients composing it, but small
standard medical works, of all the different
schools of practice, containing very numeT-
Gus extracts from the writings Of leading
practitioners Of medicine, endorsing in the
strongest possible terms, each and every ingTe-i
dent contained in DR.. Pierce's medicines.
One of these little books will be mailed free
to any one sending address on postal card or
by letter, to DR.. r, Y. Pierce Buffalo, n. z.
and requesting the same, From this little
book it will be learned that DR.. Pierce's med
1cines contain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral
agents OF other poisonous or injurious agents
and that they are made from native, nedtci-
nal roots of great value; also that some OF
the most valuable ingredients contained ia

| Several tests were given on the
railroad tracks near Highland ave-
nue., opposite the State Normal Col
lege. Mr.. John B. Wright is the in
ventor OF the appliance, which is in
tended to eliminate the dangers of
railroad wrecks by throwing the air
brakes on all entire train if any one
OF the wheels should leave the track.
MIR. Wright has formed company
for the manufacture of the invention.
DIR. }. L. j. Battle is president of the
company; Mr.. Wright, general man
ager, and Mr.. {. E. Holton, secretary
and treasurer.
The invention was given test at
Gulf on the Durham & Charlotte Rail-
road on February 18th and it proved
entirely successful and satisfactory
to those interested. 1t was decided
to give another test here and to in
vlte representatives from different
railroads to be present, and SO to-
day was set as the time and the fol-
lowing responded to the invitation
to be present: Supt. j. C. Murchison

ting the car take a split switch, the
air brake locking the wheels in each
Instance. DISTINCTIONS were then
placed on the track to derail the car,
but those in charge had considerable
difficulty in doing So Finally one of
the trucks was derailed and again
the brakes stopped the train. The
engineer was then signalled to pull
ahead and he ran the train for u dis
tanre OF one hundred yards, the one
derailed truck humping over the
cross ties, the appliance failed for
some reason to apply the brakes. A
cross tie was then placed across one
of the rails and the train backed over
it, derailing the first car, and again
the attachment put on the air brakes.
This was the last test and those
who witnessed all of them seemed to
be OF the opinion that the principal
OF the invention is excellent and it Is
believed that it will in time accompl sh
the mission intended for it by it's ill.,
ventor and that railroads through
out the country will adopt and use it
extensively.
