The profit of a GOLD mine depends
not on the amount of rock crushed
under the stamps, but upon the
amount of gold which can be ex-
tracted from the rock. In a similar
way the value of food which is eaten
does not depend on the quantity
which is taken into the stomach, but
upon the amount of nourishment ex-
tracted from it by the organs of nu-
triton and digestion. When these
organs are diseased they fail to ex-
tract the nOurishment in sufficient
quantities to supply the needs of the
several organs of the body, and these
organs cannot work without nourish-
ment. The result IS heart trouble, )"
liver trouble" and many another
ailment. DR.. Pierces Golden Medi-
cal Discovery, acting on every or
gan of the digestive and nutritive
system, restores it to health and
vigor. 1t cures diseases remote from
the stomach through the stomach in
which they originated. Golden

alcohol nor narcotics.

FARMERS NOT BORROWING
Some Western Banks Finding 1t Diff
ficuIt to Earn Dividends.

A Kansas City dispatch to the New
York Evening Post says: mot in
many years has there been so light a
demand from the farming communi-
ties for loans as now" said a banker
! from the interior today "The coun-
try banker has long depended on the
! farmer as a borrower, and has re-
ceived no small part of his dividend
earnings from this source, as it was
a steady and profitable one With
ithe high prices for grain and stock
and the gaining of the farmer in
wealth this demand has fallen off
steadily until today the country bank
has less loans of this sort than ever
in its history. In it's place has come
the new form of handling products
) of a perishable nature. The cream
cry industry, whichHformerly had lit
: tie to do with the banks, has be-
! come important, and the butter ship
ments are enormous. The egg ship
ments, which, when there were no
! cold storage facilities in the country
towns, had no meaning for the banks,
now are important. In my town, for
instance, little city of 5000, 200
! miles west of Kansas City, there is
one firm with 40 car loads of eggs
in the local cold storage house. 9th
er firms have been as large buyers,
and the dealings of a firm in another
small town of the county will reach
| larger proportions both of eggs and
of poultry"

DUCKS EATING PEST.
Alton, ILL.,, Farmer Making Money
Fast Annihilating Potato Bugs.

Fast Annihilating Potato Bugs.
Joseph Junette, who farms one of
the Job ranches on the Alton bluffs at
Alton, ILL.,, thinks he will engage eX-
tensively in duck" farming and edu-
cate the fowls to eat potato bugs at
81 a day per duck.
Just now Junette is enjoying an in
come of SIS day from fifteen ducks
which he trained o clear potato
patches of bugs. He put the ducks
in a pen and fed them on potato
bugs exclusively after starving them
until they were glad to get the bug
diet.
Junette tried them first on his own
patch, which comprised several acres.
The ducks went through the patch
like a neighborhood scandal After
the performance Junette shut up his
brigade in the bug pen so they would
not acquire taste for other diet.
The ducks are in great demand on
the farms in Junette's neighborhood.
Farmers are glad to pay $3.50 per
hour for the services of the brigade.

BEER FUND FAST TIEO UP
MAY BE NECESSARY TO RE-EN-
ACT CONVICT LAW. CONSTI-
TUTIONAL LAWYERS BUSY.

The proceeds from the sale of near
beer-what has already been re-
ceived and that to be received-is
giving the members of the ways and
means committee of the legislature a
peck of trouble.
The money is no longer needed for
the penitentiary system, to which use
it was applied by the convict act
adopted at the extra session called
by Ex-Governor Smith last summer
to dispose of this matter The prob
lem of how to pour it back into the
jug by putting the money in the gem
eral fund available for all the state S
obligations, or appropriate it directly
to the school fund, is not as easy as
it might seem.
Since the work of the extra ses-
sion of the legislature was limited
to providing for the states convicts
and enacted the law taxing nearbeer
as a part OF the programme consti-
tutiOnal lawyers fear that the money
cannot be used for any other pur-
pose by simple act of the legisla-
ture diyerting it from the fund
where it is not needed to a fund in
which it is needed.
Put in General Tax Act.
The general tax act as introduced
by Chairman Reid of the ways and
means committee contains provisions
for taxing near beer. This develop
ed the fight in the committee. 1t
was suggested that the whole con-
vict law of last year should be re-
enacted, with an amendment chang
ing the near beer tax feature.
Another suggestion was that
special law taxing near beer be now
passed, repeating that section of the
convict law. This course will proba-
bly, be followed. 1t was the sense
of the meeting when adjournment
was taken that if this special bill
could be put through the house the
provision for taxing near beer would
be taken out of the general tax act

SILVER TAKEN AS SOUVENIR.


What might have been intended as
a practical joke, to view the matter
charitably, was an escapade prac-
ticed by party of tourists stopping
over in Americas a day or two ago.
fhe affair was generally known and
discussed yesterday The party
stopped at a well-known boarding
house in Americas, and when about
to depart the fact that considerable
quantity of silverware from the din
ing room was missing was made
known to the police. The missing
spoons, knives and forks were soon
located and cheerfully given up. The
landlady of the boarding house re-
quested that the matter be dropped
without prosecution or further pub
licity, and the incident will doubt
less be regarded as a rather serious
practical joke.-Americus Times

PAYS FOR MAKING A SOT.
SalOOnist Forced to Settle for Lead
ing Man Astray.


The supreme court of Michigan
has ruled that a wife is entitled to
heavy damages from a saloonist who
makes a sot out of a good husband.
Mrs. Nettie Marrinane of Jackson,
Mich, brought suit for $4,000 dam
ages in the circuit court against Fred
Miller, Grass Lake saloonist, and
his bondsmen, c. c. Corwin, George
Rank and Barney Teufel, alleging
that Miller sold liquor to her hus-
band, thereby causing her to lose
her bank account, her home and the
companiOnship of her husband.
The Marrinanes formerly lived at
Grass Lake, where he was a tele-
graph operator. They owned their
home, had a snug bank account and
were generally prosperous till the
man started drinking at Miller's sa-
loon Mrs. Marrinane then sued and
got $500 verdict, but she appealed
to the supreme court and the latter
declared that the verdict was too
small and ordered a new trial This
resulted in a verdict of $5,925 being
awarded the woman, which was up
held.

HE RECEIVED NO COMMISSION

Chairman McLendon and himself be-
tween April 30th and May 2Sth,
1908, during the campaign and be-
fore the primary of that year reIa-
tive to the sale of the S25O.OO0
Wrightsville and TennilIe bonds, pre-
viously approved by the railroad
commission.
Chairman McLendon had written
Judge Daley that he was anxious to
see capital begin to come into Geor-
gia for investment in railroad Sc
curities of this state, which had been
approved by the railroad commission
and which he regarded as safe Mr..
McLendon thought he might find a
purchaser for all of these bonds if
the terms were satisfactory
The correspondence was terminal
ed on May 2Sth without any result.
Chairman McLendon did not succeed
in selling any of the Wrightsville and
Tennille bonds, and there the matter
dropped.
There was never any suggestion in
the correspondence or otherwise,
Judge Daley said, that any commits
sion should be paid to Chairman
McLendOn for his services.
There was not the remotest sug-
gestion of compensation Judge
Daley said. my understanding was
he was simply anxious to bring out
side capital into Georgia"
Hines Proposed to Sell Bonds.
Asked by Mr.. Anderson if he ever
had any conversation with Judge
James K. Hines about disposing of
the Wrightsville and TennilIe bonds,
Judge Daley replied in the affirma-
tive. 1t was after Mr.. McLendon had
failed to sell them.
Judge Hines asked\ me if l had
succeeded in placing the Wrights-
vile and Tennille bonds" Judge
Daley said. 81 told him | had not.
Judge Hines then asked me what
commission l would be willing to pay
for placing these bonds. | told him
l was not authorized to pay any COM
mission.
81 don't remember his exact lam
gUage, but in substance he told me
that for a commission of $1,000 he
could place the bonds for me. He
didn't say anything about where he
proposed to sell them. This CONVEX
ooClOA IOOh place, DIS L recall II, IN

Judge Daley said the last letter
from Chairman McLendon to him on
the subject was dated May 28th.
That was before the primary of June
Bird. Mr.. McLendon had said nothing
to him about the matter either YER
balIy or in writing after May 28th.

was asked.
Il sold them in July" said Judge
Daley
After the primary"
Yes, sir; about a month after the
primary" said Judge Daley.
Couldn't you even sell them to
one of your directors before the pri-
mary?" asked Senator Calhoun.
Il don't believe it would have been
possible to have done it," Judge
Daley replied.

BILL AIMED AT FEE SYSTEM.
Provides That jury Fix Salaries of
County Officers.

A bill aimed at the fee system in
Georgia has been introduced by Sena-
tor H. H. Perry of the Thirty-eighth
district
This measure bears the caption of
81 bill to provide for fixing the sal
aries of county officers" 1t provides
that the grand jury shall fix the sal
aries of various county officers i'm
mediately following the elections,
and that such officials shall receive
no compensation other than that
fixed by the grand jury. 1t specifies
that costs and other compensations
shall not go to such officials.
Undoubtedly if this measure is
passed it will go far toward wiping
out the fee system in the state and
place county officials on a strict sal
airy basis.

Anew of Transaction.

ATLANTA.-The attempt to show
that S. G. McLendon dealt in bonds
for himself or that he derived any
commission or profit from the sale
of bonds was completely overthrow
this afternoon when w. T. Bryan and
j. Y. Carrithers, officials of the Ath-
ems Street Railway Company, testi-
fed before the joint legislative COM
mittee.
Mr.. Bryan, seceretary-treasurer of
the Athens concern, was the first wit
ness called this afternoon, it being
decided to let out of town railway
officials appear at that stage of the
hearing so they would not be forced
to remain longer in the city.
No Commission Paid MCLendOn.
Mr.. Bryan said that Mr.. McLendon
had purchased $4,000 worth of Ath-
ems Street Railway bonds, $4,000
on two separate occasions, to be dis
posed of by him to a friend. They
were so disposed of through the Cen
trail Bank and Trust Corporation, but
he did not know who was the pur-
chaser. He did not pay Mr. McLen-
don one cent of commission, and he
did not believe the chairman made
any profit from it.
"Mr. McLendon handled two batch
es of your bonds of $4,000 each?"
was asked.
Yes, but he never saw one of
them" Mr. Bryan replied.
You expressed the hope that he
did not handle the bonds without
some profit to himself" asked Mr..
Wright. do you know whether he
received any profit from the sale?"
mo; | never heard of his getting
show that he sold the bonds at par
and accrued interest, just what we
received from them. He never asked
any commission from us, and we new
er paid him a cent
What was your understanding of
the matter?" was asked.
Mr.. Bryan said on April 23rd, dur
ing the campaign, when before the
commission Chairman McLendon had
stated he would like to be the in
strumentality of bringing some capt.
tai into Georgia on account of the
claims that it was being kept out by
agitation. He proposed to find a
market for the Athens Railway
bonds. This was stated in the COM
mission room in the presence of Com
missioners Hillyer and Stevens, Sec
rotary Montgomery and others. On
May 18th $4,000 of these bonds
were delivered to the Central Bank
and Trust Corporation of Atlanta on
Mr.. McLendon's order, and the com
pany was paid for them par and ac-
crued interest. Another $4,000
were sold in the same way in July

system substantiated Mr.. Bryan.
