General Dem and

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and~gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for Nsale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

THEIR BUGGY AN ALTAR
AT COURT OF HYMEN

Seated in their buggy in front of
Loving's stables on Lamar street
while an obliging friend speeded after
a marriage license and high justice
of the peace, Miss Inez Hammond of
Smithyille and Mr.. John C. Dees of
Bronwood were united in marriage
just at nightfall Tuesday evening. The
couple drove to Americus from their
homes in the country and declined
the invitation of Justice Hudson to
go to his home for the wedding cere-
mony, stating that they would be
content if married right there. This
divested the ceremony of the usual
accessories, such as flower girls and
soft lights and smilax and the strum-
ming of the wedding march by an
amateur pianist, and the couple drove
happily to their home after receiving
the blessings of the justice.

GEORGIA WILL
DIVIDE VOTE
Bryan Victorious Before
CredentidI Com.

DENVER, COL, July 8.-(SpeciaD
The Georgia delegation today re-
scinded the unit rule, and three of the
26 votes of the state will go for
Bryan on the first ballot. These are
Hill, Johnson and Little. Another
caucus will be held today when it will
be sought to reinstate the unit rule.
The fight will likely be carried to the
floor of the convention to provoke a
ruling unfavorable to Bryan.
Today session of the convention
was brief The principal feature was
the contest before the Credential Com
mittee in which the Guffey faction
was defeated This is of course a dis
tinct victory for Bryan. Guffey has
organized for great fight on the
floor of the convention.
At the mention of Bryan's name to-
day demonstration started that last
ed for an hour Senator Gore, of Ok
lahOma, the blind one, started the fun
by saying that by majority of 100,
600 Oklahoma rejected advice of Taft
and accepted that of Bryan"
In the credentials committee, which
reported tonight, the following con
tests were settled: New York, Muir
ply delegates seated unanimously, de-
feating McCarren Illinois, Sullivan
delegates seated unanimously; Nine
teenth Ohio, Johnson delegates seat
ed, "a to % Ninth Ohio, national COM
mittee sustained; Third Pennsylvania
national committee sustained; Idaho
Dubois delegation seated by vote of
26 to 20; District of Columbia, Clay
ton faction given 4 votes, Davis fac
ton 2.
The Guffey people decided, after a
conference with the Credentials Com
mittee, to take the fight to the floor
Interest is feverish. 1t is regarded
as possible that there will be an al
most irreconcilable disagreement
within the Democratic party at the
convention. The great majority is
with Bryan undoubtedly.

about April Is or 16, following the con-
ference of the miners and operators at
Toledo next Tuesday, declared Will

1T is very probable that the opera
tors and the miners will reach an
agreement at Toledo and that the old
wage scale that was in effect up to
April l will be readopted." b..
president Green said that the min
ers' officials and the operators have
had several conferences and that there
seems to be no hesitancy on the part
of the operators to sign the agreement.
1T will mean the renewal of the
harmonious relations existing between
the. four states in the sixth district
that existed since 1898 until the break
came two years ago when the joint
interstate movement was dissolved
All Of the locals will send delegates,
and there will probably be $50 from
Ohio at the conference. A total Of
500 delegates for the miners are ex.
pected from the four states. The big
question before the assembly will be
the renewal of the wage scale that ex.
pired March 81 last and the resump.
ton of the mines in this district.

they were convinced that In the distri-
button of tho powers of government
the rights of the people would be re-
speoted It was founded upon the
theory that the right existed in the
people to make, alter and modify their
form Of government. and to this end
the several states in constitutional
convention agreed upon and adopted
q constitution which was the founda-
ten upon which this nation rests. But,

which at any time exists, till changed

md right Of 4 people to establish gov

every individual to obey the estab-
Mshed governments While tho pn-
mary object Of a written constitution
10 to define governmental powers and
70 limit governmental departments,
the overwhelming necessity for such
IN instrument IS to prevent insidious
snoroachments upon the rights Of the
Individual citizen, both from those in
office and from those who by reason
of their wealth and power have an in
Auence far greater than that pos
sessed by the average citizen. And so
the constitution of the United States
was regarded by it's trainers as an
instrument of the most sacred import,
IN alteration of which could only be
made by the people themselves, in
whom all ultimate power is vested,
and then only after the fullest discus
