A Demonstration.
 When the jurymen filed into the room and the foreman announced the verdict there was a demonstration in the room. Coroner Amber had to rap with his gavel. and court officers had to caution the spectators as an at tempt was made to applaud the yer dict.

These witnesses will tes- tify at the trial. I am also told that Mrs. Hains talked to several persons regarding the incidents related in the confession some time before she made it, and these persons will be witnesses ~.awhen Captain Hains was called back from the Philippines he ques tiened his wife regarding rumors hs had heard about her. and he became convinced that his suspicious wert wrong. Later. he said. facts developed which made him demand the comics sion from his wife and she made It.
 Major John Powell Hains also made a statement. He was asked if h. thought his brother was justified fl shooting Annis without giving him { chance to protect himself.

 It was yet twenty miles outside of Sydney harbor. but this word. which had been awaited eagerly by tens of thousands. stirred Australians like a call to arms. and almost instantly those who had not already left the city to take up points of vantage along the bays were moving in droves to line the quays. the rooftops and other places on the harbor front, to watch the coming of the guardships of the new world.

Anty Drudse's Way of Economy.

Working Girl-It takes half my spending money to get my shirtwaists laundered I'd do them myself but can't get hot water for boiling boarding house. Anty Drudge-"Use Fels-Naptha soap, dear, ard you won't need hot water You can do them in cold or lukewarm water. They1l be winter and fresher than any laundry can make them and you'll save that money" Working Girl" Oh, thank you, Anty Maybe can enough to get that new hat"
 Do you wear white clothes all through Spring and Summerf Makes too much washing, you say. Not if you use Fels-Naptha soap.
 Fels- Naptha keeps white clothes fresh and clean with little work at little cost. You wash them with Fels-Naptha in cold or lukewarm water without boiling and you don't have disagreeable steaming suds.
 Then your clothes wear longer if washed with Fels-Naptha. No boiling to weaken their fibre; no hard-rubbing to wear and tear them.
 Fels-Naptha will not harm the most delicate fabrics. Fels-Naptha makes it easier to wear white clothing. Be sure to follow directions on the red and green wrapper.

Soldiers Home
For Fitzgerald
Lewis Appears Before the
House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs and Ad-
vocates Measure
BY John Corrigan, Jr.

Washington, d. c., April IA
Especially. Representative Lewis
addressed the committee on mill
tary affairs this morning in behalf
of his bill appropriating $500, 600
for soldiers home at Fitzgerald,
Ga. He referred to the fact that
Fitzgerald and what was formerly
Irwin county, was largely settled
by northernerS, and westerners,
and that about 400 old union
soldiers now live in that section.
He showed that the lives of many
feeble and intirm veterans had been
prolonged by moving to the de-
lightful and salubrious climate OF
what is now Ben Hill county, in
south Georgia, and emphasized the
fact that Fitzgerald was in all res
poets a most admirable location for
the government to establish home
for former soldiers. There seems
to be O strong sentimentin the com
mittee against this project, as the
members seem to be convinced
there is little need at this time for
more veterans homes. However,
Mr.. Lewis is. determined to push
the project vigorously.

That Brown Rally.

Hoke Smiths presence in the
city yesterday and the great good
favor with which he was received
stirred up what opposition he had
to try to offset the work he had
done.
Last night they held a rally
which was attended by quite a
crowd, fully as many or more Hoke
Smith men in the crowd us Brown
followers. Several spoke about the
the issues IN the campaign, but it
is impossible to record here what
they said, as there was Il constant
"Hurrah for Hokc Smith" going
on.
The Brown forces endcavOrcd to
drown out the Smith following, and
a lot Of good natured bantering
was kept up.
The best feature of the Rally
was the music by the Empire State
Band. The ugliest feature was the
presence of so many persons Of
color.

Is Met at Depot by Hundreds
.of the Best Citizens of
Fitzgerald and Sur
rounding Country
Enthusiastically
pIauded When
Delivering
Address.

Governor Hoke Smith, the peo
pies governor, wasagiven a hearty
whole. souled reception here yester
day. When the first gray streaks
of dawn began to dispel the shades
of night men were seen out upon
the streets ready to welcome the
chief executive of the state. By
8 o'clock the crowds had settled
until the thorofareS of the city
were crowded with men in every
walk of life. There were numbers
of women, too, who seemed anxious
to meet the governor.
From all sections of the sur
rounding country wagons began to
arrive and every nook and corner
of Ben Hill county was represent
cd. When the trains arrived over
the Seaboard and f. 0. & B. and
A. 3. & A. they, in their time, I'M
loaded great numbers who had
come to pay their respects to their
governor.
At the train a committee COM
posed of the leading business men
and citizens of Fitzgerald welcom-
ed the noted guest and the Empire
State Band made the occasion
livelier by rendering good music
for which it is famous.
From the train the governor
walked thro the streets accompa-
MED by a multitude. Every now
and then some enthusiastic adj
mirer would break thru the crowd
and grasp Mr.. Smiths hand and
with word or two give place to
some other anxious one wanting
the same privilege.
One farmer bent with age, ac-
companied by his daughter, rush
cd up to the governor and with
tears of joy in his eyes, grasped
both his haffds and shook them
and acted like father meeting a
beloved son. Such was the spirit
of the occasion thru the whole day.
The Brownies, to cover their
t.lagrin at the reception of MIR.
Smith which they had boosted
would be "a mighty slim affair"
had ordered five hundred badges
and when they arrived the Brown
crowd began pinning them on PEG
pie. In order to use up the supply
and to make any kind of a show al
all they we're given to boys and wo
men.
At the depot some guy said
"Hurrah for Joe BrownW but the
only effect it had was to bring ou1
IL murmur of appreciation from thu
negroes that stood on the outskirts
of the crowd.
Long before the hour set for hi
speech at the Lee Grant hotel thu
people began to gather there. TIL

Medical Association
Is Holding Regular SEES
sions--Many lmpor-
tant SUBJECTS Be-
ing Dealt With
VIII Close Tomorrow Night

According to program the GecF.
gia Medical Association got down
to business yesterday at $50, IN
the assembly hall of the Odd Fei.
lows building. One hundred more
delegates came in on the A. b. &
A, and the s. A. L. at about the
same hour.
The address of welcome was given
by city attorney, E. Wall who wGS
the bearer of greetings from the CT
ty of Fitzgerald-a city still in hay
youth but with representatives
from every state in the union. A
clean city, morally, and city
whose schools are her pride, with
a citizenry of intelligence and pro-
erosion. Atty Wall did himself
proud as did DR.. L. s. Osborne ID
his welcome in behalf of the Medi.
cal fraternity. Both addresses we're
we'll received and met a hearty re-
Spouse from DR.. P. B. Barron Of
Mac on, in behalf of the visiting der
egates.
Outside of the regular routine
of business but little was done in
the forenoon session and the body
adjourned until after the speech by
Governor Hoke Smith.
DR.. M. A. Clark, of Macon, presi-
ded with the dignity beitting the
profession and the occasion. Dr..
Claude III. Smith of Atlanta, acted
as secretary.
We noticed among the exhibits
for illustration and experiment,
rabbits brot by DIR. Jas. M. Draw;
ner, of the Pasteur Institute, at
Atlanta. The rabbits were already
inoculated with hydrOphObia virus
and the method of cure of this
much dreaded disease was demon
strated on these living subjects.
Dr. Brawner is an enthusiast on
this particular line.
The papers that have been read
at the second session of the assem-
bly, are among the best that have
ever been heard by the Society.
On Thursday several interesting
papers were read and their topics
discussed; among them was one m
reference to DR.. Crawford W. Long,
by J. H. Goss of Athens, who had
for his topic, "Long and his DIS
covery, with comment on it's WORK
being done by the Federation OF
Women's Clubs for a monument to
his memory"
The thesis discussed the claim of
DR.. Crawford and told the old story
that he did the first operation in
all the world under ether aneSthe:
STA.
The author of the paper made a
plea for the medical profession to
ioin forces with the Federation OF
Women's Clubs and erect mOhU
ment to Long.
Another topic of intense interest
to the South was the "American
Hookwormn or the "Lazy worm"
which, it is asserted saps the life
and energy of it's victim leaving
him with a feeling of laSsitude that
is commonly called laziness. DIR.
A. G. Fort, of Lnmpkiu, told its
history aud it's prevalence in South
Georgia. He gave description OF
this parasite, Its eggs, and the in
lection stage, stating that there are
two modes of infection. Fhe doc.
tor illustrated his talk by drawings
or clinical pictures of the different
stages.

Hoke Smith Received
Enthusiastic Greeting.

to keep people away, and the rain
more than two thousand people
gathered at the hotel where arrange
ments had been made for the gov
ernor to deliver an address from
the balcony.
Notwithstanding the rain the
crowd waited until the hour of 1 80
and when Mr.. Smith appeared he
was given a hearty salute. His
address was a masterful one.
He set forth his platform and
reasons for being so actively en-
gagged in the campaign straightfor-
wardly, openly and fearlessly-as
one conscious Of having done his
whole duty. AS he proceeded in
his remarks the enthusiasm grew.
until round after round of applause
burst forth sometimes lasting sever
'al moments and on one or two &C.
'casions it became necessary for him
to raise his hand and quiet the ap-
plauders before he could continue.
DR.. J. L. Frazer introduced the
speaker and did so by saying that
he felt f'honored indeed to be able
to introduce the greatest governor
of the greatest state Gods sun
ever shon upon" (appluse)
''Every man." said the doctor,
"who has advocated reform upon
this earth has met with opposition
bitter opposition. The greatest
being who ever advocated reforms
was stoned and scourged and beat
en-.
"During the week | shall advo-
cate a reform before the medical
fraternity of the state in a letter on
drugs, and want to say now that
Governor Smith has done more to
aid the medical profession in it's
work against drugs than any other
governor ever known" (applause)
The governor then took the plat
form and opened his remarks by
saying that in hearing from the
South Georgia counties he had
been led to believe that there was
a more defined and organized
movement against him in Fitzger-
aid than anywhere else and want
ed to meet his opponents face to
face.
Il want to present to you all, "
he said, "the issues in this cam
paign honestly and openly. And
after that if any of you oppose me
| will fe ell that I have done my
duty because [ am sure that if
there is the opposition against me
that is claimed it is because many
of you have been mislead.

ttNow let's look at this thing
squarely and see what is and who
is the cause of the panic.
"The claim that the administra-
ton in Georgia did anything to
contribute to the panic is false.
The Georgia railroad commission
has been given the power to inves-
tigate the books Of corporations Of

protection of those outside the
corporations but for the protection
