Five Years
of Heart Trouble Cured by
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy

Before ! began taking DR..
Miles Hea Remedy I had been
suffering ffsan heart trouble for
over FIVE years. I had pains in
my left side, and under my
shoulder blade, could not sleep
on the left side, and was so short
of breath the least exertion
would bring on the most distress
ing palpitation. I had scarcely
taken a half bottle of the Heart
Remedy before I could see a
marked change in my condition.
When I had taken six bottles l
was cured"

If there is huttering or palpi-
tation it is an indication OF a
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the heart. 1t is not neces-
sarily diseased-just weak from
oyer-work. The heart may be
weak lust the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs. You
can make a weak heart strong
by taking DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy. Get a bottle from your
druggist, take it according to di-
rections, and if it does not bene'
fit he will return your money

with their fellow members oY join
ing the insuryent Republicans to
down Caunonism, when they had
the opportunity gwen, Senator
Tillman expressed himself in strong
terms. He : .id they were traitors
to their party's platform and ought
to be read ont of the party.
Senator Tillman gave racy de-
>rription Of his tip abroad and of
the countries and places of interest
he visited, with shrewd comments
on the manners and customs of their
people. In this part of the CONVEX
satiou Mrs Tillman joined, setting
him right when she thought he was
wrong about some date or occurrence,
which gave rise to pleasant badinage
between the two thaG was very en-
ioyable. He stated that in some
things the Europeans are ahead of
US; in Others far behind. In Spain
aud Italy, for instance, he said the
farmers have few or no improved
agricultural machinery. They plow
with the crudest sort of plows and
reap their grain With old-fashloned
scythes. He made another state
ment, which to most of us will be
information, namely, that in no part
of Europe he visited did he see any
red soil or clay such as is found in
many parts of this country.
CALISTHENICs.
Before retiring for the night,
Senator Tillman gave an exhibition
of some exercises with dumb bells,
which he has found of great benefit
to his health, which, by the way, is
excellent BY bringing into play
muscles rarely used. He recon-
mends such a regimen of exercise,
claiming that 1t is beneficial to one
even after he as passed at the age of
sixty. He has toughened bis mus
cles considerably, and no doubt, he
would be able to compete with the
strenuous Mr. Roosevelt in a horse.

South Cardinals senior Senator and
some of bis neighbors have gone into

enthusiastic about raising it for the

and the next morning everybody on
the place was busy cutting and get

NIGHT RIDERS
FOUND GUILTY
Six Will Pay Penalty With Their Liy-
es-Two Get Twenty
Years.

Union City, Tenn, Jan. 8.-With a
verdict of guilty in varying degree,
the jury in the night rider trials re-
ported. The twelve men found Gar
rett Johnson, It'd Burton, Roy Ran
son, Fred Pincon, Arthur Cloar and
Sam Apologize guilty of murder in
the first degree with mitigating cir
cumstances, and Btu Morris and Bob
Huffman, the other defendants, guilty
of murder in the second degree, and
fixed their punishment at 20 years in
the penitentiary.
named defendants was left to tbs
court, and may be death or life i'm
prisonment The defense filed mo-
ton for a new trial, which was set
for hearing tomorrow, and which will
be overruled, as indicated by the
court, when sentence will be pro-
nounced. The court will sentence the
six first named defendants to death.
The defendants took the verdict
with calmness, as they had been ex-
pecting it since the closing of the
arguments. Attorney Pierce turned
to them when it was announced and
said, 'Wewill tear this case to pieces
in the supreme court"
Bob Huffman. one of the the men
to escape with 20 years, is the man
who. according to the confession of
Frank Fehringer, fired the shot
which killed Captain Ranken.
When the jury's readiness to re-
port was announced the military
quickly surrounded the courthouse
and detail of soldiers with revolver
holsters open was deployed around
the walls of the courtroom, but aside
from a whispered buzz of conversa-
ton there was no demonstration.
The prisoners were quickly hand
cuffed and under military escort
taken to prison. The verdict is con-
sidered a compromise one, and no
trouble is feared by the authorities.
The work of the jury was delayed
by the sickness of Juror Rosson, a
recess of several hours being taken
to permit him to rally from a sinking
spell. When the report was made he
was carried into the courtroom on a
cot.

motor came into collision with the
retaining wall of a road along the
edge of a cliff overlooking the sea,
