SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 29.-"Los

large audiences, SO many wishing to

fine ROAD
Will SOON
BE READY
OgIethOrpe Highway Finished
This Month.
When Macon County Does Its Share
There Will Be Magnificent Road
From Americas to OgIethOFpe---54
COnVictS Now at Work.

When early February comes it will
be an enjoyable trip from Americas to
the county line, en- route to Oglethorpe.
The work of the county forces, under
Supt Christian, OH the old Oglethorpe
road, is being pushed rapidly, and
within three or four weeks there will
be another fine highway, thirty feet
wide, to the credit of Sumter county.
Macon county has promised to take
up the work where Sumter county ends
and continue it on to Oglethorpe. So
far it has done nothing, but the COM
pletion of the Sumter part of the road
will be a reminder that it is time for
Macon to be up and doing.
1t is quite probable that before
spring is over Macon county will have
its part of the road in excellent shape
and the distance between Americas
and Oglethorpe will have been cut
down several miles, as compared with
the Ellayille route which is so gener-
ally used now on account of the better
road conditions
Supt. Christian now has "a convicts
at work on the road and the dirt is
flying almost equal to the speed limit
on the Panama canal.
The work has been one of the hard
est undertakings in the country, heavy
cutting and filling and considerable
changing of the line toward procuring
a Strengthened highway
But the results will amply justify
the expenditure. A large section Of
the country will be served by the i'm
provement and it's completion will be
hailed with satisfaction by a large
number of citizens whose business will
frequently lead them to use tn i'm
proved highway.

BAD BLOOD
OFTEN INHERITED

Bad blood does not always come as
the result of careless living, or indis
cretions; it is a condition frequently
inherited. Normal, healthy blood
contains millions of tiny red corpus
cles, which are the vitalizing and
nourishing element of the circulation.
their office being to provide every
portion of the system with its neces-
sary strength and nutriment. In
weak, impure blood these corprscles
are lacking in numbers, and therefore
the blood is not able to supply the
proper amount of nourishment to the
body. Bad blood manifests itself in
many ways, With some it takes the
form of skin diseases and eruptions.
others become bilious and malarious,
with sallow compilations, torpid liver,
etc. Bad blood produces Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scrofu1a
and like troubles. Nothing is equal
to S. S. S. as remedy for bad blood;
it is the greatest of all blood purifiers

Church

Boston, Mass, Jan. Thu a sensa-
tional effort to break the will of the
late Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, a suit will
be brought in the courts of Massachus-
etts within the next few days.
While Mrs Augusta s. Stetson, the
communicated Christian Scientist, is
patiently waiting in her New York
home for a visitation by the spirit Of
Mrs Eddy, several of the most dis
tinguished lawyers in the country, in
Guiding William E. Chandler, former
United States senator from New Hamp-
shire, are preparing for the great VIII
contest
Efforts have been made to keep the
preparations for the suit from becom-
ing public, but it has leaked out in
this city that the relatives of Mrs. Ed
dy, learning that she left 100000 20
the Christian Science Church, of which
she was Cthe founder and recognized
head, decided on the contest
Mrs. Eddy's son, who opposed the ar
engagements made by the directors of
the Christian Science Church for the
burial of his mother, is expected to be
the chief contestant.
Preliminary investigation made by
lawyers has revealed the fact that
statutes more than 100 years old in
both Massachusetts, where Mrs Eddy
was domiciled, and New Hampshire
where most of her property is located
prohibit the bequest of more than
100000 to any charitable institution
in either state.
The two statutes, which each state
passed about the same time, make it
impossible, according to the lawyers,
for the Chdistian Science Church to re-
ceive more than 100000 of Mrs. Eddys
fortune.
According to the present plan, the
suit will be based on three statutes
The lawyers are said to be jubliant be-
cause they believe there is no way fol
the Christian Science Church to claim
exemption If Massachusetts alone had
such a statute, the lawyers are aware
that the estate might be settled in
New Hampshire, where most of the
property is located, but such action IS
checked by a similar New Hampshire
law.
1t is believed by the attorneys who
are working on the investigation that
at least $1,S00,0O0 of the estate should
go to the relatives of Mrs Eddy.
The great question that will be
raised will be whether Mrs, Eddy had
not the right, even under the New
Hampshire and Massachusetts statutes
to bequeath all of her estate, no matter
how large, to the Christian Science
Church, which extends all over the
country. The legal point viii be
whether the statutes cover requests
that reach outside the state. One hun
bred thousand dollars might go to the
Massachusetts branch of the church
one hundred thousand more to the
New Hampshire branch, and the rest
to other branches, according to the
view of the directors.
Talk of Settlement.
Already there is talk of settlement
but the lawyers take the view that no
will be possible that does
not accept the spirit of the two cen
tury-old statutes These statutes will
be attacked by the Christian Science
Church, in all probability, as inetfec-
tive and obsolete.

DON'T BUY FROM
STRANGE. PEDDLERS

The attention of the public at large
is called to the numerous peddlers
who are working in the city. 1t is a
foregone conclusion that persons can
not buy good and reliable merchandise
from these peddlers as they can from
the home merchant. Nine times out
of ten, these peddlers are sWindlers
of the worst stamp and we are asked
by the city authorities to warn the
public against them. Even if the
proposition was all right and legiti-
mate, it is unWise, to say the least,
for anyone to buy from a stranger
who they have never seen before and
probably will never see again. An
other thing, these men take the mon
ey out Of the city; the firms they re-
present do not pay one cent towards
the support of this city Every time
dollar is paid to them ii is thrown
away so far as it is of any value to
the city. Keep on the safe sideand
whatever you do, don't buy from ped
dlers.
