were not marriott was simply in
tended as joke.
About Is months later the young
lady, a member of one of the best
families in southeast Alabama, was
married to a man from another state.
The marriage was not happy one
divorce soon was instituted by the
broken-hearted young wife and ali
mony asked. That marriage" which
was intended for a joke was brought
up to besmirch her good name until
the young man, then in London,
England, returned that unused IL
cense, procured proper affidaVits and
saved a woman's honor, after the bit
of paper had travelled thousands of
miles across the seas to the trial
court.
Judge Dozier sends ell the newly
weds away with a blessing and good
wishes, and that it is bread cast upon
the waters can be judged from the
letter of a man in Alabama who
wrote to Judge Dozier: You mar
ried me and my wife twelve years
ago-we have eight children Come
to see US
He is happy married man him
self. Born in Quitman county so
years ago, he has lived there ever
since, attending the old field schools
and a high school in Bibb county.
In 1883 he was married to Miss En-
ME Goode. Two daughters were
born and have gone to homes of their
own, and as he and his good wife go
down the hill of life together they
hear the prattle of little ones and
the birds of love and joy continue
to sing. And Judge Dozier believes
that all those whom Cupid has
brought to him can live as happily
ever AFTER" too.

REFUSES FRANK NEW TRIAL
JUDGE Roam OVERRULES THE
MOTION OF HIS ATTORNEYS.
Convicted Slayer of Mary Phagan
Took Courts Decision StOIC ally.
Case Will Go to High Court.

OOHh CCSO 5IdJCf VI MARY 'ltN5Hn
Took Courts Decision StOIC ally.
Case Will Go to High Court.
ATLANTA-Leo NJ. Frank, con-
victed of numbering Mary Pnagan,
cnce more rests under the shadow of
the gallows.
Judge L. S. Roam Friday morning
overruled the motion for a new trial.
A bill of exceptions was prepared
and signed by Judge Roam Saturday,
and the case will go to the supreme
court of Georgia. 1t is the general
view here that the decision there will
be final, inasmuch as no federal ques-
tions have been raised to authorize
appeal to the United States supreme
court.
The sensational part of this step in
the great drama is imbedded in the
remarks of Judge Roam incidental to
his formal declaration denying a 4e-
hearing In this he said;
Gentlemen, nave given this
question long consideration. l have
thought about this case more than
any other | have ever tried. | am
not certain of this mans guilt. With
all the thought l have put on this
case l am not thoroughly convinced
that Frank is guilty or innocent. The
jury was convinced. There is no
room to doubt that. l feel that it is
my duty to order that the motion for
a new trial be overruled."
The remarks were incorporated in
the bill of exceptions taking the case
to the supreme court.
Judge Roan's decision was I'M
doubtedly a great disappointment to
Frank and his counsel. Frank and
his attorneys had hoped for a new
trial.
There were very few people in
Judge Roan's office when the decis-
ion was rendered. {
Franks wife, who was with him,
broke down completely.
Frank, whose sentence to death
has been completely
has been Indefinitely suspended,
pending a final ruling on his convic-
ton, tonight maintained his hopeful
attitude. He would add nothing to
his statement earlier in the day, in
which he expressed disappointment
at Judge Roan's decision, but said he
was not discouraged over the out
look.

Straighten You Out by Morning
CaIOmel May Knock You Out of a

If you are calomel user next time
you are tempted to buy it ask your
druggist if he can absolutely guar
antee the drug not to harm you. He
won't do it because he CAN'T do it.
But here is a perfect substitute for
calomel which the druggist does
guaTantee-the famous Dodson's
Liver Tone. Tanner Drug Co. will
refund your money without question
if you are not thoroughly satisfied.
Go to Tanner Drug Co., whom you
are acquainted with, and find out
about the great number of people
who are taking this remarkable rem
edy and feeling better, keener,
healthier and better able to enjoy life
than they ever were when taking cal
omel.
Why? Because calomel is a poison
one that may stay in the system,
and while seeming to benefit you
temporarily may do harm in the end.
If you haven't felt these i'll effects
so far it is because you are fortunate
enough to have a strong constitu7
ton.
Don't take the risk any longer.
Get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone
| (50c.) and note how easily and nat

headache and coated tongue. how il
sets you right without ache or grippe.

world for constipation.
All this without the slightest inter
ference with your regular habits.

A GREAT MEETING OF PROTEST.

Inc great Republican meeting in the Auditorium last evening
spells victory for the Republican party and the cause Of protection.
In many respects the meeting was the most unique ever held in
Ohio county. Not in the memory of any man who is active in politics
IN this state has a larger and more enthusiastic audience ever been
drawn together. But the meeting was more than a political gathering
II was an outPourng of the farmers, the workers, the manufacturers
and the merchants of this great valley TO protest against a tariff
measure which they believe 10 be seriously hurtful if not absolutely
injurious to their most important interests and industries. Ii was a
meeting not inspired by a selfish desire TO hold office and obtain
office by prospects of sPoils or of preferment, but by the sober judg-
nent OF men who feel that their own welfare and the welfare of their
neighbors ar seriously imperiled.
And what a matchless presentation of the true value of pro,ec-
ton was heard from the lips of that magnificent orator, Nathan Golf
What memories of great battles for the cause of protection; what
"reminiscences Of splendid campaigns passed through the minds of
many of the older hearers of Senator Golf last night? Ii is sufficient
TO say that the meeting in every respect came up 10 the expectations
and the hopes of those who organized it, 1t was a gigantic protest
against species of class legislation that discriminates against this
great district, a protest from the farmer who sees every shred of the
benefit he has enjoyed under the protective duty taken away. A
protest from the manufacturer who sees his great industries threat
ened; a protest from the working man who, with good reason. fears
less work and less wages; a protest from the merchant who sees be,
fore him dull times and slower business; a protest from every class
that makes up the life, the business and industrial and commercial
activity of this great valley.
This protest will be turned into effective expression. On October
II, in this great industrial section. the voters will register their over
whelming condemnation of the Underwood tariff bill and It's represen-
tatives before the people.

that abundant use Of such emphatic
