REFUSE TO CREDIT THE
CHARGE OF DISHONESTY
DrummerS Take Action Up
on Recent Affair.

SeabOaTd Railway conductors are
interested in the result of a recent
meeting of the Columbus post of the
T. P. A, wherein resolutions were
adopted regarding the alleged as
sertion made by their president as to
certain conductors in the employ
of the Seaboard Air Line.
The resolution states, in part, that
the post does not hold any such
views. On the other hand, it is
averred the members have the great
est confidence in the integrity and
honesty of the conductors of the
Seaboard
The resolution came as a sequel
to the reported statement made by G.
G.. Johnson, before the railroad com
mission that conductors employed on
q "shoOfy" train were unfaithful and
| that the train would pay handsome
ly if the road received all of the reve-
nue. collected.
The assertion of President John
son raised a storm of protest from
one side of the state to the other
| The Columbus post repudiates the
testimony of the president and de
clares its faith in the honesty and
uprightness of the conductors.

r TISS MAYMF e. SMITH, All East
I'VE Mound ST., Columbu Ohio, writes:
"Have used Peruna for catarrh and
hay fever, The results being remark
able, can highly recommend it to all
who are suffering with the above dis
eases. I am happy to be able to say it
has helped me wonderfully"
What is known as hay fever is in
reality endemic catarrh, q catarrhal
condition of the nose, throat, some
times the bronchial tubes, induced by
some local irritant.
The irritationis is generally due to vege-
tai emanations of some sort. Hay has
been suspected as being the cause of
this malady, hence its name, hay fever.
1t has been attributed to rag weed and
other vegetation also. 1t is a very
capricious disease, coming and going.
A medicine that will help one case may
not help another. Such treatment has
always been very uncertain and unsat-
isfactory.
Peruna helps some cases without a
doubt, although it is not claimed to be
an infallible remedy for such cases.

NO INJURY is WROUGHT
PEACH CROP IN STATE
As Result of the Recent
Gold Snap.

The Georgia peach crop is still safe
despite the recent cold snap Ac-
cOrding to State Entomologist E. L.
WOrsham the weather was not severe
enough to to do injury in any sec
ton. There was no frost and the
wind prevented harm from the cold
rain.
THE crop is comparatively safe
noW," said Mr.. Worsham. Except
ing few spots in North Georgia,
where the orchards were located in
the low valleys, it has not been hurt
in any section"
The damage done was not suffi-
cient to have any appreciable effect
on the output and it is reasonably
certain that the greatest harvest the
state has ever known will be reaped
this year. The forecast for tonight is
not fOrebOding'
The damage he spoke of occurred
from the cold of ten days ago.

MAY MAKE A CHANGE
IN TRAIN TO MACON
Train From AmeriCuS May
Start Later.

The Central's morning train now
leaving Americus at the most unseas-
enable hour of 4:40 o'clock may go
later, if suggestions to that end are
carried out, as desired by the travel
ing public. This train now starts
from Americus, the terminal point, at
an hour most incOnvenient, whereas
it could leave nearly an hour later
and serve every purpose. 1t is un-
derstOod that the railway company
has under advisement a change of
schedule, leaving Americus at 5:15
or $50 o'clock, and shortening the
running time in proportion. A train
leaving at this hour could reach Ma
con before 8 o'clock, a. m and At
lanta before II o'clock, noon, and
thus prove a greater convenience to
the many people who patronize this
train between Americus and points
above.

SANE IN VA, BUT
INSANE IN n. Y.
ChanIer Trying to Get Con:
troll of His Estate,

NEW YORK, April 18.-(SpeciaD-
John Armstrong Chanler took an
other step yesterday in the legal bat
tie to obtain a court decree saying
that he is sane in New York, as he is
in Virginia, where he is now living,
and where he has been living since
he escaped from Bloomingdale Asy-
lum in 1900. Should he be able to
get a court decree as to his sanity
in this State, then he can assume
charge of his $1,OOO,000 estate
The story of this relative of the
Astor family, the brother of Lieut..
Gov Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, and
former husband of Amelie Rives, be-
gins back in 1897. In March of that
year he was committed to the asy-
lum by Judge Gildersleeve upopn ap-
plication of Lewis S. and Winthrop
A. Chanler, his brothers, and Arthur
A Carey, his cousin.
Tricked by Stanford White
Mr.. Reed also tells an interesting
story of how the late Stanford White
served as a decOy to get Mr.. Chanler
to town so that he could be put in
the asylum He was living then, as
now, on his estate of 500 acres at
Gotham, Va Mr. White went there,
according to the lawyer, and persuad-
ed Mr. Chanler to come to town to
"enjoy a rip-snorting jamboree." He
also persuaded Mr.. Chanler to give
him a power of attorney to look af-
ter his property, according to Mr.
Reed
Alienists were taken to Mr.. Chan
lers hotel under the guise of eX~
1Sr4r, 4o1I Il
him, and later testified in court 1t
was upon their testimony and upon
the affidavits of his three relatives
Escaped From Asylum
In 1900 Mr. ChanIer escaped from
| BIoomingdale and went to Philadel-
phia, where he entered a sanitarium.
In 1901 he went to his Virginia es-
tate, and in November of that year
the County Court of Albermarle
| County declared him sane
Mr.. Chanler was down in Virginia
managing his 500-acre estate with
out molestation, but he could not
| touch his New York property be-
cause he was under the law, insane
here. In 1904 he brought suit through
James w. Osborne, then his lawyer
against Thomas T. Sherman, guar
dian of his estate, for $26,352 dam
ages, charging that Mr. Sherman was
Illegally administering his estate
and it's income He would not come
/ to New York to prosecute tn case
but first sought a guarantee of safe
conduct from the United States Court
Judge Hough refused the application
and Mr. Reed appealed on this appIi-
cation to the United States Circuit
| Court.
Mr. Chanler has already made a
will leaving his great Virginia estate
to the University of Virginia, and II
he obtains possession of his property
l there is little likelihood of him
leaving any of it to his relatives, his
| Virginia neighbors says.
