Cured Me

q suffered with pain under my left breast, and shortncss of breath and nervousness. My heart would beat very fast, and then it would hardly beat at all. One doctor told me 1 had neuralgia of the heart, another said l had dyspepsia, and another only a weak heart, but none of them gave me any relief. l was not able to be out for four months. I wrote the Miles Medical Co. for advice, and they told me 10 take Dr. Mics Nervine with the Heart Cure. I took both as directed, and entirely recovered.

NEGLECT NOT YOUR SOULS
 SALVATION.


 Our California friends, notably those of San Diego and Los Angeles are not preserving their usual self-poise in the face of the approaching battleship fleet. A dispatch from San Diego stated yesterday in connection with the announcement of the new itinerary that the cruise is now more than ever the only topic of conversation" We do not see how this can be unless the Cal Iiornians have imported outsiders to take part in conversation about the fleet, for there has been no other topic of conversation in either of the south ern cities since the squadron emerged from the Straits of Magellan. We are glad to see this emotion of patriotism on the coast but we honestly believe that it is rising too high. It is well 10 be proud of the possession of such group of battleships manned by the best sailors and commanded by the best officers In the world, but in the meantime the Californians should not neglect all other business 1nd more than all. they should not forget their souls salvation simply because the fleet is coming

STUDY OF IHf CHILD
 BY PHOENIX MOTHERS
Meeting Yesterday Under the Auspices of the Sunday School Department of tie Christian Church

| Yesterday afternoon in the Christian church. a very largely attended moth CTS meeting was held under the au- spices Of the Sunday school depart ment of that church.
 The cradle roll numbers one hundred and fourteen and the mothers of these little to1s were particularly invited yesterday afternoon. While they were listening 10 the in structive and entertaining program, the little ones were being amused iE the new nursery which has recently been Built and completely equipped. even provided with a paid nurse and assistant by the Ladies Aid Society of the church.
 Mothers are invited to attend Sun day morning service while the children are cared for in the nursery.
 The pastor, Elder Lawrence Will Hams invoked the divine blessing and in behalf of the Sunday school extend- ed a hearty welcome to all present.
 Miss Laura NJ. Cooley rendered a very pleasing vocal solo, "The Mission of the Rosebud after which Miss Lucy Terrell Ellis gave very delight ful talk on child life and particularly reminded the mothers of their power to mould the characters of their chil- dren, thus controlling the destiny of home, state and nation.
 Miss Ellis also told very entertain ingly of Kindergarten church service which she attended in Los Angeles.
 A child dialect reading given by Miss Amy White was artistically ren- dered and very much enjoyed.
 An earnest and eloquent address by Prof George Blount concluded the pro- gram.
 Professor BlOunt reminded the moth CTS that while the opportunity to in- nuence the lives of their children is theirs so is, also. the responsibility every day-every hour adding it's part to the formation of the child's char acter.

NIX. BAcCN's APPREHENSION

NIX. BAcCN'S APPREHENSION.
 The complaint of Senator Bacon of an encroachment upon legislative Gunc- tions is not well founded, seeing that it has no other basis than a conference ut the White House in relation to d proposed amendment Of the anti sherman law. Nothing that could be IaSreed upon at the White House or any where else outs dc the Capitol is binding upon congress. Beside the president himself under the constitu- tiol mas something to do with legisla- tion. Unless amendments meeting his views could be agreed upon there would be little use in presenting them in congress. Unless the White House agreement should meet the views of congress, they need not be considered. In the words of Mr. Dooley 'So there ye ar-r."
 There was nothing new in the White House conference. It is probable that at the same time conferences were be- ing held in hundreds of boards of trades and other bodies throughout the country, considering legislation which they would like to have enacted. ft such previous outside consideration by the interests most directly concerned were not given proposed legislation, congress would more frequently find itaelf at sea.

We suppose that there is no school in the United States that could have made better showing at a fire drill than the pupils of the Center street school did yesterday. Getting out of the school house in perfect order within one and three-quarter minutes was d marvellous performance. But let us imagine that the school is capable of getting out in one and three quarter seconds. What would the second story pupils do, if coming to the stairway they should find it a hell of flame and smoke?

PHOENIx ARIz., MARCH 14, 1908.
THE STAMPEDE.

There is a good deal or careless talk about the stampeding of the national convention for President Roosevelt. 1T some quarters. the talk is expressive of fear, in others. of hope. Assuming that there has been no treachery to- ward Secretary Taft by the president and the advocates of a ''second elective term" nothing is more unlikely than d stampede of the Chicago convention to Roosevelt. If those who are sup porting Taft are doing so honestly and without any ulteriOr object, it is clear that Taft will receive on the first, sec Ond or third ballot every vote that would be cast for Roosevelt or that could possibly be dragooned for him. the delegates who will oppose Taft will have been selected with pretty defi- niue object in view and that object will not be the renomination oi the president.
 A stampede ii one were intended could not be decently precipitated un- til it had become evident that Taft could no; be nominated. By that time it may be presumed he would have developed his second choice" strength and ir such second choice" strength would have been developed also all the votes ir addition to the original or first choice Taft votes, that could be started on q stampede.
 Herein is a liberal concession 10 the stampede possibility for we do not be- lieve that Ihe president himself would be able to develop as much strength iu the convention as Secretary Taft will. The secretary will undoubtedly carry as against any or all other candidates every state or congressional district that President Roosevelt himself could carry. though the president might in some sections, be preferable to NIT. Taft. On the other hand MT. Taft will .ioubtless get delegates which the pres ident could not secure.
 The foregoing is based upon the as- sumption that the third termers' are playing fair" with MT. Taft and that as friends and admirers of .he pres idcnt, they are not cover;iy contrib uting to a deadlock by winking at the election of delegates whose strength would be scattered among the candi- dates, ready to be solidified in q stam pede. We have lately seen no sign of such trcachery.
 There was a plainly visible sign of it last summer when Mcssrs. Hitchcock and Garfield were touring the country, but .he plCt was abandoned and We cannot conceive how It migh- b. sue cessfully taken up again and carried Uu. Briefly. if Taft cannot be nom mated. Roosevelt would be even mora impossible.

PRIMARY WILL Be
HELD ON JUNE 4
State Committee Decides
to Have Only One.

Mr. r. L. Maynard, who represent
ed the Third district at the meeting
of the State Democratic Executive
committee in Atlanta on Thursday
returned yesterday The action OF
the committee had his full endorse
ment, his vote being cast with the ma
jority on the question of holding the
primary on June T.
It was decided to hold the primary
to nominate candidates for United
States Senator and for state offices
on June 4. For the state convention
June % was the date fixed, at which
time delegates to the Denver nation
al convention which meets in July
will be chosen. 1t was also provided
that a majority vote-instead of g
plurality as heretofore-would be re-
quired for a nomination. In case the
highest vote in any contest is less
than a majority of the votes for al
candidates, the two candidates with
the two highest votes must make the
race again. If a second primary is
needed it will be held June II.
On the question of an early primary
there was some difference of opinion
r. L. Berner and ]. A. Bagwell spoke
against an early primary, but wher
the vote came could only muster
votes out of 80.

While the action of the committee
cannot be forecasted, it is very prob
able that an early spring date will be
named for the county primary. The
state primary is to be held June 4th,
and the county primary, as is always
customary, will precede it.
In such event some date in March
or April is probable.
And with the announcement of the
date at the hands of the committee
today, the candidatal host in Sumter
will proceed to get busy.
All county officials are elected this
year from sheriff to coroner, while
in addition the entire board of five
county commissioners will be elected
for the full term of four years. Judge
of the city court and the solicitor of
that tribunal are also elected.
Members of the legislature, Sum-
ters two able, are likewise chosen at
the regular county primary.
Judge of the superior court and
solicitor-general are chosen at the
State primary on June 4th. But
the host above mentioned is for

There.

At the annual meeting of the board

Macon Railway and Light Company,
the rate on lights was cut from Is
cents to II per killowatt hour. This
reduction was made voluntarily by
the company. The usual rate of dis
count will still be allowed. The re-
duction in prices was made to begin
on February 1st, instead of waiting
until next month. When Americus

TEMPLE is INVITED TO
COME TO AMfRICUS
ShrinerS to Make PiIQrim.
age Here.

Americus Shriners, members of
Alec Temple, Mobiles of the Mystic
Shrine, have extended an invitation
to Alec Temple to make pilgrimage
here in March and hold a ceremonial
that unregenerate sons of the desert
be permitted to ride the camels.
The Shrine will hold a ceremonial
some time in March, and as the Shrin-
er spirit is very largely manifest in
Americus the invitation to come here
is extended.
Americus would extend a royal well
come to the Mobiles.
One of the requirements Of the
Shrine is that twenty applicants, at
least, present themselves for member
ship, and local Shriners are now
securing the Americus sahara in an
effort to round UP such bunch of
unregenerates. And they will get the
game
1t has been several years since the
Shrine held a ceremonial here, but the
occasion is still remembered with in
terest and pleasure.
Both Masons and Knights Templar
here will join in the invitation ex-
tended to Alec Temple.
Wells Chapter will have a meeting
on Monday night next, while De
Molay Commandery will assemble on
Wednesday night At each meeting
there will be important work, and
members of both orders will be re-
quested to attend promptly.
Some time in the next month Alec
and Yaarab Temples will hold a joint
powwow at Macon, the occasion par
taking of the nature of a Shrine Cir
Gus, and Americus mobiles are pre-
pairing for the show and will take
along all of their new recruits.
If the shriners come to Americus
in March, as expected, a gala occa-
sion is safely counted upon.
