GIVEN LIFE TERM
FOR KILLING FAMILY

DECATUR. Ala, March 2.-The jury in
the case of Bob Clements last night found
the prisoner guilty of murder in the first
degree and fixed his sentence at life. I'M
prisonment.
Clements was charged with the murder
of Tom Edmondson's entire family, in
GLIDING Edmondson his wife. mother and
two children last November, near Wood
land mills, in this county. After the
family had been murdered. their bodies
were placed in the barn and the following
night the barn was set on fire and only
a few bones remained to tell of the grue-
some tragedy.
Clements had been in the employ of Ed
mondson and it has been brought out that
Edmondson came home and found Glenn
ents talking to Mrs. Edmondson. and the
supposition is that EdmondsOn threatened
his life, and that Clements killed him
and then killed other members of the fam
lily to hide the crime.
Attorneys for Clements gave notice that
an appeal would be taken from the YER
dict. Clements .chewed. gum while the
verdict was read .-

TEACHERS MAY Be
PAID UP ON TIME
1T NOW SEEMS PROBABLE THAT
AN ADVANCE OF 2O7 WILL BE
WILL BE PAID AT AN EARLY
DATE.

\ Will the teachers OF Georgia get part
Of their 1909 earnings before the end OF
the year.? -
1t seems to be indicated that they will,
notwithstanding the $9SS.0o0 warrant or
February !, which was used to pay all
the states pensioners in advance and
which left the treasury at low water
mark; and Notwithstanding too, the de-
preston among the teachers themselves
growing out Of their general acceptance
of the theory that none of them would
get any 1893 pay before next December.
No authority at the state capitol is
willing to be quoted to this effect. No
promise has been given out, and, in fact,
it is said general understanding pre-
walls to the contrary. State School Com
missioner Pound whose office is daily be-
sieged with letters on the subject, is said
to have come practically to the conclus-
ion that there was no hope for any adj
vance of the 1869 apportionment before
May at the earliest, and that even then
the amount the state, could distribute
would be small.
Nevertheless the prediction is safe.
though unauthoritative, that an advance
equally as large as that of 1907, which
was 20 per cent, or $4,000, will be Sc
riously discussed some time soon.
Without this advance. so called, the
teachers of the state school department
would have to wait till the final date OF
tax payments, December 20, for their
money. The only exceptions to this would
be the teachers in those counties that
have been provident and economical and
now have 1908 balances to their credit
sufficient to enable them to proceed sew
eral months during the present year
without help from the state. Two or
three counties, it is said, have even
enough to run them through the whole
year. But the great majority have noth-
ing Accumulated. and the advance of
part of their share in the apportionment
relieves their teachers OF a considerable
derivation .sasle.i1 - g..
Last year there was an advance OF 80
per cent of the whole fund. This amount
lasted till about July.

indicated by "abridgement OF individual
rights by law as to (liquor)," the very
important ruling is held out by the APP
pellate court that the legislative power
OF state is limited. That particular
portion of the index relates to the fol-
lowing:
',Ehis right to regulate or prohibit
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors for use as a beverage is well
established as being within the police
powers of the state. to project the pub
lie against the evils which result from
the excessive use of ardent spirits.
But, to say that the legislature has a
right to forbid the manufacture or sale
of every liquid regardless or the amount
of alcohol il contains and regardless of
the presence of other ingredients which
prevent the use of the liquid as a bev-
erage,. is to give an elastic construction

NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple.


1t doesn't pay to stick too closely to
old notions of things New ideas often
lead to better health success and happf-
hess.
A Wis couple examined an idea new to
them and stepped up several rounds on
the health ladder. The husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nervous,
sallow, weaK, and irritable. Ny wife
and both loved coffee and thought it
was a bracer.
FINALLY. after years of suffering. we
read of Postum and the harmfulness OF
coffee, and believing that to grow we
should give some attention to new ideas,
we decided to test Postum.
when we made it right we liked it and
were relieved of ills caused by coffee.
our friends noticed the change-fresher
skim sturdier nerves, better temper,
etc.
These changes were not sudden, but
relief increased as we continued to drink
and enjoy Postum, and we lost the desire
for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like Pos
tum at first. because they did not make
il right. But when they boiled Postum
according to directions on pkg, until 1t
was dark and rich they liked it better
than coffee and were benefited by ths
change" There's a Reasons'

one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human

The first food Of the day.

Every man, woman and child begins
the day with more or less vigor of mind
and strength of body according to the
first food supplied to the stomach. The
best first dish of the day is a bowl of
Quaker Oats. The stomach can assimi-
late it more quickly and with less effort
than other foods. There is little or no
waste and every ounce of food is con-
verted into muscle. vigor and brain
activity. The strongest people in the
world are the regular eaters of Quaker
Oats. You should eat it for breakfast
every day.
If you are convenient to the store
you'll probably buy the regular size
package. For those who live in the
country the large size family package
is more satisfactory.
