There are great many phases of
WOnlan'S ailments that require the as
sistance of the surgeon.
But by far the greatest number of
such cases are amenabIe to correct
medicinal treatment.
A vast multitude of women have been
relieved from the ailments peculiar to
their sex through the use of Peruna as
prescribed by DIR. Hartman.
He receives many letters from all parts
of the country relating to subjects of
vital interest to womankind.
Of the vast multitude of women DR..
Hartman treats annually, only small
per cent. of them consider 1t necessary
to write to the Doctor at all.
While it is not affirmed that Peruna
will relieve every case of this kind, it is
certainly the part of wisdom for every
woman so afflicted to give Peruna a
fair trial.

SAYS TAFT HAS ONLY FIGHTING CHANCE

pretty much the whole cabinet. The
president once said of him that he
was the greatest man who has been
IN public life in some century or so.
He is the man the president wanted
to succeed him in the presidency, but
owing to Mr.. Roots long and init
mate association with certain New
York financiers his present as well
as his past personal history with
Wall street Roosevelt feared that
Root could not be elected. Hence
he selected his second choice, Mr..
Taft.
Taft is more tractable, more
malleable, more amenable than
would have been the more independ-
ent and far more intellectual and
fOreeful Root.
Hence, though the disappointment
Is said to have been great in the
torate, this disappointment will dis
appear altogether. Four years from
now, after Bryan has served out
three years of his term and positively
refuses to accept another nomination,
as he has already declared he will
do, then the G. o. P. must turn
again to the only man who has been
able, in these disintegrating times,
to hold it together.
Meantime, with Taft and Root the
real court favorites the silent, mys-
FERROUS, unassuming but burningly
ambitious Bonaparte, with the royal
blood pumped back and forth in his
veins with a steady glow, must Ian
guish neglected in that secluded in
nocuous desuetude in the vicinity of
Baltimore. He thinks Taft has a
fighting chance" So do they all
think, but he is the only one who
dares give utterance to anything
aught than that Taft will be elected
by a plurality as large as Mckin-
ley's There is still little sacrilege
about suggesting that anybody even
the heir apparent and appointee'
could possibly win such a sweeping
victory as Roosevelt.

MAN IN THE MOB ACQUITTED.
Was One of Crowd Who Hanged
Aged Negro at Springfield.

Abraham Raymer charged with
leading the mob that 1ynched Will
liam Donnegan, a negro 80 years
old, during the recent riots at
Springfield, has been found not gull
ty by a jury.
The. jury was out three hours and
took only one ballot.
AS soon as the verdict was an
nounced Raymer grasped the hand of
each juror and made a speech thank
ing them.
This is the first riot case, involv-
ing total of III indictments. 1t
was proved that Raymer was a men,
Der of the mob, and the court held
that any member of the mob was
guilty in the eyes of the law, but
the jury, it is said, acted on the lack
of evidence to prove that Raymer
had a hand in the actual iynching.

ROADLEss GEORGIA
Transformation Taking Place. Good
Road Idea Grows.

From the maledictions scattered
broadcast in the mire of roadless
America by despairing bicyclists fif-
teen years ago hopes of better things
have taken root. No gift of prophe-
cy is now required to fOresee a time
when these hopes will have so far
materialized that a team, if it is a
good one, will be able to haul an
empty wagon over the gumbo roads
of the Mississippi Valley in the
spring, and the public highway of the
south will be so we'll buoyed that
Hight draught automobiles may navi-
gate them in comparative safety.
From every part of the country
comes the same encouraging news.
Sixteen states now have highway
commissions that are trying in vari-
Gus ways to supply the greater need
of the nation, which is good roads.
At one extreme is New York, which,
in 1905, voted to expend fifty mil
lion dollars in building roads. I'm
der the plan adopted the state will
build and maintain 1882 miles con-
Meeting the principal cities and pay
one half the cost of 400 miles of
local roads to be built by the coun-
ties.
At the other extreme is Iowa, the
third state in the union in extent of
road mileage, where the use of pub
lie highways is so vast that if teams
enough could be assembled to do in
one day all the travelling done in the
state in year the line would reach
one and half times around the
earth, which doles out an annual ap-
preparation of $4,000 to defray the
expenses of the state colleges faculty
while acting in the capacity of high
way commission. With this intro
duction the author writes of what is
being done and what can be done to
transform roadless America, and the
article is illustrated with fine pho

NEW YORK MOSQUITO CONTEST

Staten Island Has Biggest Produced
i'm Incubator.
In the aquarium at Battery Park,
New York city, there is on free ,ex-
hibition a mosquito incubator in
which the pests are daily Matched
from larvae and brought to maturity,
almost while you wait" If you
wait long enough you can see the
whole process.
The larvae are collected from vari-
Gus points about New York, and so
far the Staten Island mosquito leads
all the rest for size. It's ferocity has
to be imagined, but in a duel in the
glass box mosquito from South
Beach distinguished by yellow spots
drew one of his lances on a Jersey
bird, and in two seconds was saving
off his head.
Supt. Morgan turns on the gas in
the glass tank every night, and puts
his pets to sleep for good, so as to
have a fresh habitat for the new ar
rivals, who begin to fly in with the
dawn, looking for an early breakfast.

A CARD FROM Mr.. YEOMANS
Not Interested in the Position of
Candidates for Senator on
the City Court.


To the People of Terrell County:
The rumor having been generally cir
culated that Hon. w. S. Thornton is
a candidate for State Senator in the
interest of the City Court, l desire
to state most emphatically that so
far as | know or am concerned this
is not true. | have never asked Mr..
Thornton nor anyone else to be a
candidate in the interest of the City
Court. and so far as | know no one
else has.
MY position as Solicitor will ex-
pire during Governor Smiths term
of office, and is only temporary.
The position of both the candi-
dates for State Senator on the City
Court is therefore immaterial and
satisfactory to me personally. l have
no real interest IN the position OF
either one on this question.
There are other questions of more
Importance to the people of this dis
trict, and | shall vote for Mr.. Thorn
ton, not on account of Mr.. Twins
position on the City Court, nor on
account of Mr.. Thornton's position
in regard to the same, but because
Mr.. Thornton is one of Terrell coun-
tvs best men, and sound on all i'm
portant questions. Yours truly,
M. ]. YEOMANS.

Mr.. JENNINGS TO THE VOTERS
Addresses Them i'm Interest of His
Candidacy for Tax Receiver.
Wants But Two Terms.

To the Voters of Terrell County:
No doubt you are familiar with my
announcement for Tax Receiver, but
would like to say that on account
of a rheumatic ailment which gives
me much trouble during unsettled
weather and the unlimited time in
which | now have to complete my
canvass it may be that | will not be
able to see all of you in person. /
therefore appeal to the people
through the county paper for sup
port. 1t will certainly be appreci-
ated
MY reason for offering for the Of
fee is that my opponent, Mr.. L. G.
Pinkston, our present receiver, said
he would not ask for the office more
than two terms. The people have
been kind enough to give him what
he asked for, and so the opportunity
is now open for some one else to
offer.
| am a poor man with family OF
eleven to support, and am hoping
and trying to educate nine children,
and at the same >time trying to Sc
cure little home. Those who have
had such experience of course know
how this is.
Please remember that l am asking
only for one term now. If elected
will appreciate that much, and
would no doubt ask for reelection
to the office for a second term, but
I desire to say that if the people
are kind enough to give it to me two
terms l will show my appreciation
by retiring from Office and offering
my help to some other competent,
deserving and needy citizen.
I would not have the people to
think that l am trying to create sym
pathy, but l would like to impress
upon them consideration of my can
didacy.
Hoping to be remembered on the
Ord day of April. am very respect
fully. J. L. JENNINGS.

CORPSE WAS so HEAVY
Had to Call on Piano
Movers With Block and Tackle.

u
Movers With Block and Tackle.
One of the most remarkable funer-
ais ever held in New Y rk was that
of Mrs. Margaret Morgan. A party
of piano movers assisted the under
taker because of the necessity of low
ering to the street the casket from a
window of the woman's apartment
on the fifth floor of the house.
Mrs. Morgan, who in normal
health was very large woman, died
of dropsy. Her weight was $50
pounds, and a special coffin was con-
structed for the burial. The size of
the coffin forbade it's being taken
through the halls, and the undertake
er was confronted with the problem
of removing it from the house. He
was advised to confer with a piano
mover, and contract was signed by
which the latter undertook the deli
cate task.
A block and tackle was rugged on
the roof. 1t was necessary to saw
out part of the window to allow the
coffin to be hoisted out They fast
ened ropes to the coffin. 1t was low
cred a few inches at a time.

MERGER WILL OCCUR APRIL |
CENTRAL OF GA. AND ILL. CEN
TRIAL TO COMBINE IN A WEEK
An Unofficial But IA Reliable An

An Unofficial But Reliable An
nOuncement as to the Two
Hartman Systems.
1t is announced unoficially but
reliably that the Central of Georgia
railroad will become a part of the
Illinois Central system on April /,
at which time the fomer road will
enter Birmingham, making connec-
ton with the Central of Georgia.
The Central of Georgia passed into
the control of the Hartman interests
few months ago.
By means of its extension the Illi-
nois Central will make it's entry into
Birmingham on April 1, and Harri-
man will have finally gained his out
let to the Atlantic ocean, or the link
which will join the south Atlantic
seaboard with the Pacific ocean as
we'll as the great west.
1t is not known what methods of
transportation will be announced by
Hartman further than that the Cen
trail of Georgia will be used as the
outlet for all freight traffic. 1t is
not known whether solid trains will
be run through from Chicago to Sa-
vannan, or whether they will be bro
ken up at Birmingham and new
| trains made up for the Central to
carry to their destination
Much business that has heretofore
been directed to New Orleans will
now be sent through Georgia to Sa-
vannah and the merger is looked up
on as one that will be very advant-
ageous to Georgia cities touched by
the Central of Georgia.
With the entry of the Illinois Cen
trail will come the American Express
Company. The Southern Express
Company is used on all the lines of
the Central of Georgia, but as the
American Express Company is the
one that is used by the Illinois Cen
trail the last named company will
gain admission into this territory
