II was sick, rundown and finally

sicians, was just about ready to give
up in despair. I saw Vinol ad-

The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because it contains tonic

Governor Smith Turns Them Out
After 81 Years of Confinement.
PardOns or combinations to pres
ent service have been granted by
Governor Smith to four inmates Of
the penitentiary who were sentenced
to serve life terms, and each of
whom has been in confinement for
more than 25 years. One, a woman
from Bibb county, has been in the
penitentiary since 1875, a period OF
33 years.
Clemency was granted on the rec
ommendation of c. H. Hitch and Geo
Tumlin, who were sent to the state
farm recently by the governor to in
vestigate the cases of aged convicts
there, and on the addition recon-
mendation of the prison commission.
Levi Copeland, who was sentenced
to life term from Greene county
in 1885, has been released.
Matte Vinson, woman who was
sent up from Bib for the murder
of her child in 1875, is another VINO
goes free.
The third beneficiary is Jane
Chapman, a negro woman sent up
from Wilkes county in 1880, and who
is now IS years old.
The fourth is James Way, another
negro, who went to the penitentlary
from Chatham county in 1879. He
has served nearly thirty years for
the crime of murder

is GLAD DAWSON is AHEAD.
Thinks 1t Evidence Randolph Doesn't
Buy as Much Whiskey.

The ShelIman Sun at last "ac-
knowledges the corn'-that is, it
seems to believe the people of Ran
dolph county are not buying as much
of the corn" as some others. Says
the Sun:
"The Dawson News stated last week
that the patrons on the rural mail
routes leading from Dawson pur-
chased for the year ending July 1,
1908, money orders to the amount
of $3,774. There are seven routes,
we believe. The Cuthbert Leader
was slightly misinformed in stating
that Cuthbert's four routes did more
money order business for the same
time than Dawson's routes, and we
plead the same excuse for claiming,
for the moment, that Shellman's five
routes were ahead of both Dawson s
and Cuthbert's. We are, in fact,
considering that most of the orders
were for the purchase of liquor, glad
that Randolph county is six or seven
thousand dollars short. In another
sense we are that much ahead"

A Genial and WhoIesouled Man
Passes Away.
The Shellman Sun prints the fol-
lowing account of the death of a ge-
NAL and wholesouled man who was
widely known and had scores Of
friends throughout this section.
Although his condition had been
critical for some time the news
Monday morning of the death of DR..
B. e. Bridgeman was no less keenly
regretted. He had been confined to
his room for several weeks, dropsy
being the immediate cause of his
death.
'Probably no man had more friends
than DR.. Bridgeman, and none better
liked than he was for his kindness
and sunny nature. He had been a
physician of extensive practice, and
was justice of the peace for 35 years.
He was widely known, and he had
splendid memory of persons and
their names He served honorably
in the states war, and his anecdotes
of that stirring period were ever en-
tertaining.
I'VE shall miss the doctors cordial
hand shake and CHEEKY greeting. His
wife and his son, Mr.. Ben Bridge
man, survive him, and to the family
we offer coincidence.
''The funeral occurred Monday af-
ternoon at o'clock, the Masons hav-
ing charge of the exercises. A large
number of friends attended the fun
eral, and besides the interesting Ma.
sonic rites Rev. John Martin made
a short talk in eulogy of the de-
