vent a lynching.
The bank was capitalized at $4,000
and carried surplus of $4,000. Nc
Leods bond, together with the capital
and surplus of the bank, is not enough
to meet the deficit, but advices from
Woodville state that the stockholders
are endeavoring to reorganize and
start over again. More than $4,000
of the capital stock for a new bank
has been pledged.
The defalcation hits the town Of
Woodville and vicinity especially hard,

the Bank of Woodville was forced to
close its doors because of the defalca-
ton of w. 8. Jones, cashier, who got
away with about $4,000, lost in cot

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 23.-Application

erendum election on the subject, this
being one of the provisions Of the COM
mission government act relative to
franchises, which hitherto have been
voted by the aldermanic body without
reference to the qualified electors.
Mr.. Lott recently made application
to the board of trustees of the Missis-
sippi Insane Hospital for right-of-way
through the property of that institution
just north of the city. 1t was found up
on investigation by the board that
can be granted only by the
legislature, and this means that no
action can be taken until next Janu-

The board of supervisors of Madison

Washington, D. c., Jan. 23.-The
special session which is expected to
begin soon after the Inauguration of
President Wilson will be an altogeth-
err new Congress, the. Sixty-third, of
whose members 1874, 23 senators and
161 representatives, will be new to
their places. The unusually large
number of new representatives is the
result partly of the re-apportionment
which created many new COMPRESSION
al districts. But the political over
turn is responsible almost wholly for
the great change in the personnel of
the senate.
The new senators will take the
place of others, many of them long
and widely known. Such, for exam
pie, are Senators Joseph w. Bailey
OF Texas, Shelby M. Cullom of Illi-
nois, W. Murray Crane of Massaobu-
sets, Joseph NJ Dixon of Montana,
Frank o. Briggs of New Jersey, Nor
ris Brown of Nebraska, Jonathan
Bourne, Jr, of Oregon and Murphy
j. Foster of Louisiana.
The fact that an unusually large
number of the states are sending to
the senate men well qualified for the
place by reason of their previous leg
islative experience in the lower house
of Congress is a subject of much fav-
orable comment in Washington just
now. A review of the list shows that
a majority OF the new men who will
sit In the senate after March 4 have
already served as representatives.
The toga of Senator Bailey of Tex
as, now worn temporarily by Col R.
M. Johnston, an appointee of the gov
ernor, will after March 4 fall upon
the shoulders of Morris Sheppard,
who has been representative in Con-
gress the past ten years and has been
looked upon as one of the Bryanite
leaders in that body.
Another prominent member OF the
lower house who will be seen in the !
senate is John w. Weeks, who has

"All right, guess that's so"
Judge Ellis after his custom, was

IA Message To Thin,
WEAK, ScrawnyFoIks
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30
lbs. of Solid, Healthy, Per
manent Flesh.

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men
and women everywhere are heard
to say, Il can't understand why
do not get fat. l eat plenty Of
good, nourishing food" The rea-
son Is just this: You can not get
fat, no matter how much you eat
unless your digestive organs as
simulate the fat making elements
Of your food instead of passing
them out through the body as
waste.
WHAT is needed is a means OF
gently urging the assimilative
functions Of the stomach and in
! testines to absorb the oils and fats
and hand them over to the blood,
! where they may reach the starved,
5hIEnken, rundown tissues and
build them UP The thin persons
body is like a dry sponge-eager
and hungry for the fatty mate
rails of which 1t is being deprived
by the failure of the alimentary
canal to take them from the food.
The best wc,y 70 overcome this sim
full waste Of flesh building ele-
ments and to stop the leakage II
fats is to use Sargol, the recently
discovered regenerative force that
Is recommended so highly by ply
sicians here and abroad Take 4
little Sargol tablet with every meal
and notice how quickly your
cheeks fill out and rolls Of firm,
healthy flesh are deposited over
your body, covering each bony an

Pharmacy and other leading drug
gists have Sargol, or can get It
from their wholesaler, and will re-
fund your money If you are not
satisfied with the gain in weight It
produces s stated on the guaran-
tee in each package. 1t is mex
pensive, easy to take and highly
efficient.
Caution;-While Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results in over

general stomach troubles, it should
not be taken unless you are willing

35-CENT FARE ON
STONE MILNE
IS FOUGHT
Citizens Declare Promoters De-
ceived Them With Promise
to Cut Rate.

Charging gross deception on the
part of representatives OF the new
Stone Mountain interurban street
car line in obtaining grants. rights
of way and franchises. about 5000
citizens Of Stone Mountain, Charleston
and every point along the new line
from Stone Mountain to Atlanta,
distance of 16 miles, began Friday to
wage a relentless battle against the
new concern to block its agents
when they appear before the State
Railroad Commission to have 3D.
cent fare between Atlanta and Stone
Mountain established. The petition
ers claim they were promised the
fare would be less than 80 cents.
A petition is being circulated and
is expected to contain the name OF
every property owner and citizen
who might travel on the road to At
lanta.
L. B. Greer, a Government en-
ployee residing in Stone Mountain,
declared Friday morning that 7. J.
Campbell Mayor Of Stone Mountain,
and Ed Waggoner, Mayor OF Clarks-
ton, would lead the fight.
1t Is charged that when representa-
tives OF the new street car line visit
ed the various property owners and
citizens asking for right OF ways
they assured the people they would
compete with the Georgia Railroad,
and that the competition would re-
suit in a reduction of the present
rate Of 80 cents charged by the Geor-
gia Railroad from Stone Mountain TO
Atlanta. -
At present the new fund is we'll I'M
der way and il is estimated that X
will be completed by November l.
Several days az the. owners of the
new road, who the Stone Mountain
people allege are none other than the
old Atlanta Consolidated crowd, pre-
scented a petition to the State Rail-
road Commission asking that they
be allowed to charge a rate of 30
cents.
Feeling along the route is running
high 1t has been stated that the
new road will never be allowed r.
operate unless the alleged pledges Of
reduced rates are carried out.
The Georgia Railroad makes thir-
ty-one stops between Stone Noun
tain and Decatur and is, according to
commuters, satisfactory in every way,
but what angers them is the fact that
after promising they would give the
Georgia Railroad competition and
thus reduce rates the new road plans
to fix even a higher rate than that of
the Georgia road.
Another argument of the citizens
along the route is that the cost of
track construction in a city is 81, 900
per mile more than in the country
and that the city people get the
cheaper rate,
Still another is that the new road
touches the country roads in but a
few places and is accessible only at
a few points.
The signers of the petition charac-
terize the methods employed by
agents of the new line as gross de-
ception and fraud and will demand
that the State Railway Commission
fix a low rate-in accordance with
the alleged promise of representatives
who first visited them and gave out
the impression that the new line
would give them better service and a
cheaper fare to Atlanta.
1t is expected that the fight from
now will be hot one.

point where the dixie stood.
Miraflores Lake, on the Pacific side,

one fear OF the engineers was that
the conclusion from the mighty blast

nearby masonry Every precautioL
possible was taken TO prevent this.
BY November ! boats probably will
be using the canal, and by January !
there will be "a sort OF traffic in the

be opened for public service.
When the canal is actually com
pleted It will be protected by a Pan

men. He returned to-day empty
handed.
