tons. Its tonic ingredients tone up
the system, and thus invigorate the
stomach's functions to normal activ-
ity.
Mr.. Rifles experience is especially
interesting at this time of the year be-
cause it shows the close relationship
there Is between a nervous breakdown
and a neglected cold.
Pe-ru-na should be kept in the home
at all times, that a cold upon its first
appearance may be treated promptly
and successfully. This often saves
money and time, and what is more
important, a great deal of vitality.
Mr.. Rifle, OF 75S Gautenbein Ave.
Portland, Ore, writes: II have found
Pe-ru-na a most remarkable medi-
cine for building up the system and
for curing coughs and colds.
'T took 1t for four weeks a few
months ago when was all run down,
nervous and debilitated, and it quickly
restored my health.

Mother of David Smith Writes Card
to the Public.
Editor Dawson News: I wish to
correct the statement which recently
appeared in the columns of you pa
per in reference to my son, David
Smith. In the first place, he is not
rObber, never has been, and if the
corrections, advice and prayers of a
devoted mother, who strives to live
uprightly before God and man, pre-
vail he never will be. For some time
the young man who was with him,
and who has previously been convict
ed, has used every means known to a
maturer boy to entice David away
from home and enveigle him into
mischief and get him into trouble.
He is David's senior by five years,
David being only IA years old. l
have protested and have endeavored
to protect my boy from him and have
in a measure succeeded, but at times
have failed. On the afternoon men
toned he enticed David away from
home and persuaded him to go into
the garage Nothing was stolen, so
far as known, and at the proper time
it will be proven that David did not
enter the garage for the purpose of
stealing anything. He has been cor
rected and punished, and l ask the
public to suspend further judgment
until all the facts are known Respect
fully, MRS. A. u. SMITH.

|. C. CLARK WAS ACQUITTED
CUTHBERT MAN CHARGED WITH
MURDER WAS EXONERATED.
Negro Whose Body Was Found Fell
on Railroad Track, and Was
Not Placed There.

Not Placed There.
Mr., L. C. Clark, a well known citi-
zen of Cuthbert, who was charged
with murder for killing Arthur
Brown, the negro hack driver whose
body was found on the Central rail-
road track near Cuthbert Friday
night, was acquitted at committal
trial. Mr.. Clark, who is manager of
the Cuthbert Grocery Company,
made in effect the following state
ment: Having occasion to go back
to the Office after supper to
write some letters he was accompa-
MED by one of the porters of the
company, who placed some buckets
under leaky places in the roof of the
warehouse. Before the negro went
back into the warehouse to attend
to this Mr.. Clark had him telephone
for a hack which he would need when
he got through. The hack soon came,
which was announced to Mr.. Clark
by the driver coming to the door Of
the warehouse and yelling ready"
Mr.. Clark told the driver that he was
not quite ready, and for him to wait
for him.
In few minutes the hack driver
again appeared in the door of the
warehouse and, apparently thinking
1t was the negro who had phoned for
the hack, in a loud voice yelled, IF
you're going with me you'd better
come on" Mr.. Clark ordered him
away. The driver with an oath ad
vanced toward Mr.. Clark, brandish-
ing an office stool. Mr.. Clark reach
ed into a drawer in the desk and Sc
cured a revolver and fired at the
darkey several times, only one bullet
hitting him and that one passing
through the heart and causing his
death. The negro turned and ran
out of the building and down toward
the railroad tracks, where he fell and
was later found. Mr.. Clark's state
ment was accepted.
1t appears that Brown fell on the
railroad track after he was shot, and
that his body was not placed there.

coach"-the exhibit car used in the
transportation of horses, pigs and
various and sundry live stock for ex-
hibition purposes-in charge of Mr..
Troy G. Chastain, the agriculturist
of the railroad, will again this year
make an extended tour covering the
better portion of the fall months.
The plan of furnishing exhibits to
fall fairs in Georgia, Alabama and
other states traversed by the Central
railway was inaugurated last year.
1t has been demonstrated that the
plan exerts a beneficial influence in
the line of agricultural and live stock
raising, and it is expected that the
plans to be pursued of exhibiting
stock and commodities raised ON the
test farms of the Central will greatly
increase the interest in the study of
agricultural pursuits in the rural
communities.
The special car used in transport
ing the animals and exhibits will
leave Montgomery on September 29
and will visit Columbus, Dawson,
Americas, Atlanta and numerous
smaller cities and towns before wind
ing up the travel on December l at
Atlanta, where a pretentious exhibit
will be made in connection with the
state corn club show.

Guiding Genius of This Great
Organization Seeks to
Check All Gambling in
Farm Products.
CNational News Association


LOS ANGELES Cal, June 16-
Charles S. Barrett, of Union City, Ga,
president of the great and rapidly
growing Farmers Union. who in ten
years has become one of the most po-
tent personalities in American life, is
in Los Angeles, but will leave this
evening for San Francisco on his way
to Basin, Wyo., and Bismarck, N. D.,
to attend a farmers convention.
Mr.. Barrett is the guiding genius
of the Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union, which has $500 To-
cal lodges and 100000 members.
Our organization is built on the
principles of education and co-opera-
ton among farmers" said Mr. Bar
rett. The south was backward in ag-
ricultural development, but there has
been a great awakening, and the
Farmers Union in many ways has
been the greatest influence in the
change. The union was in the main
a southern organization, but our great
Awakening of the South.
"The south has depended almost
wholly on cotton. The union taught
the farmers the necessity of growing
other things, of raising their own hay
and meat. and this diversity of pro-
duction is one of the foundation stones
of our new prosperity.
My own state of Georgia was far
down in the list of states. but so re-
