at the time that the Lowndes county
proceedings were instituted that the
litigation was inspired by the mon
board" companies-at least. that thew
had placed the state in possession of
the evidence on which the proceed
ings were based and upon which Dis
trict Attorney Strange and Attorney
General Stirling hoped to secure con-
victions of antitrust law violations.
And now comes this supplemental
litigation against the "non-board"
companies in which practically the
same allegations are set forth regard
ing rate conspiracies, holding stock
in other corporations, etc.
$3oo,ooo,0oo Liability.
If the state should be successful m
its two great suits the insurance com.
panies will be compelled to fork over
to the treasury of the commonwealth
the rather snug sum of about $780,
100000. No complete tabulat:on has
been made of the penalties asked by
District Attorney Thames from the
non-board companies, but, estimating
on the same basis as the original
suits against board companies, the
sum total will be about 800, 900,
or about equal to the fortune left by
e. H. Hartman.

Senator Bailey last night had this to
say Of Governor Johnson.
In common with good citizens
everywhere, l deplore the death Of
Governor Johnson, and as Democra-

influence and popularity had done
much and, had he been spared, would
have done more toward Strengthening
the Democratic party in his section
of the country. His early struggles
and ultimate triumph are an inspir-
ing lesson to the youth of the coun-
try, and teach that poverty and OBJ
security must yield to ambition and
good conduct"

"FAITH" ALL THAT WAS LEFT
Symbols of Hope" and "charity" Had Got Away from Unfortunate Sun
 clay School Scholar.

A young Philadelphia Sunday school teacher tells this story of the result of an attempted application of the principles of economies:
 For some time she had endeavored to impress upon the minds of one of Ter charges the names of the three qualities, faith, hope, and charity. One Sunday she presented the pupil of the poor memory with three new shining coins, a penny, a five-cent piece, and 2 dime
 "The penny" she said, represents faith, the 1ve-cent piece hope, and the dime charity. Keep these coins and every time you look at them think of what they stand for"
 The Sunday following the teacher reviewed the lesson of the week be- lore, and called upon the holder of the coins to produce them and give their names in proper sequence. The youn gster shuffled from one leg to the other, stammered, blushed and seemed altogether overcome with mortifica- ton. Finally he burst out with:
 Please, Miss Fanny, ain't got nuthin left but faith. Baby swal- lered hope, and mamma took charity and bought ten cents worth of meat ter make hamburg steak out uv.''

PRESSED HARD Coffec's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in- furious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others.
 A superintendent of public schools in one of the southern states says:
 My mother, aince her early child hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for number of years and complained of that weak all over feeling and sick stomach.
 Some time ago was making an off, cial visit to distant part of the coun- try and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed somewhat peculiar favour of the cof- fee, and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum.
 T was so pleased with it, that after the meal was over, bought package to carry home with me, and had wife Anyepare some for the next meal. The
 ole family were so well pleased M q it, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely.
 T had really been at times very anxious concerning my mothers con dition, but we noticed that after using Pos.um for short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to it's use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as we'll and hearty as the rest of us.
