DR., Griffith For Mayor.

DR.. Lewie A. Griffith, of Colum bia,
a former resident Of this county and a
son of that grand old man, Col, D. j.
Griffith, superintendent of the State
peniteptiary, is an avowed candidate
for Mayor of the city of Columbla.
DR.. Grihith's candidacy is already the
talk of the city, and his friends on this
side of the river, feel confident OF his
election. DR.. Griffith is a young man
with progressive ideas and sound busl-
ness judgment, just such man III our
opinion as would make an ideal mayor
for the progressive capital of the State.
Here hoping that he will win.

suffering. had tried the treatments
Of several doctors, also home rem
edies, but they failed and all hope
had gone. My friends, like myself,
thought / was in the last stages Of
consumption.
my daughter brought me bottle
of Peruna and plead with me to try
it. had got so weak had lost my
voice, and thought it no use. That
was in May, 1902. I began to take

to you, and you gave me-your kind
advice.

to give way, and the expectoration
lessened. have taken fourteen bot

My friends seem astonished at my re-
covery.

advice and the books you have sent
me. shall ever praise your medicine

life"
T. It will be observed that Rev. Rob-
erts waited two years. after he began
to use Peruna, before he wrote the
above letter to The Peruha co. So
that his apparent recovery could not
possibly have been temporary relief.
:. In a later letter to The Peruna Co.,
dated September %, 1906 Rev. Rob-

STORY
Came Near Losing His Lde-How He Escaped

We quote from another letter. dated
December 10, 1906: y praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case, and they praise it Also"
In letter dated November %,
1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Pe-
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my acquaintances
know that I am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In a later letter, dated January 13.
1919, he says: Il shall ever in the
future, as in the past, be ready to
speak in praise Of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others
being cured in this county"
From a. letter Of September 5, 1911
we quote a Few words: Il am still
among the living. AS to Peruna, l
do not feel that I have words to ex-
press the faith have in its merits.
I feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
of God, of prolonging my life for
more than ten years"
We quote still later letter, October
81, 1912. He says: '1 took a severe
cold three weeks ago. I at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking it two
weeks. 1 am now better. 1 consider
that Peruna has carried me over q
dozen years of life. I always stand
ready to answer any question IN ref
erence to PerUna."
We quote from his last letter. dated
January 2, 1913: Dear Friends: L
wish this bright New Years to ex-
press my thanks to you for your
kindness. Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year, and
that your medicine may prove q
blessing to many as it has to me, I
am YOURS as ever, C. ". Roberts,
Hartsell, Alabama, r. F. D. 2, Box
o."
It is not necessary for US to add
any words to this story. The elo-
cucrce and pathos Of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
or amdavits. Who can doubt the
clergyman's story? Who can doubt
that "Peruna. saved his life?

AMERICAN WOMEN WIN.

The American women won all the
honors at the Belgian court ball, which
took place on the tenth of January
and at the fine ball given on the
twelfth of the same month by the min
lister Of the United States, for being
the best dresses, in style, elegance
and good taste They were awarded
first place on both occasions and the
balls were both Of such a character
as to bring out the best display OF
gowns. We have no doubt but what
American women are more graceful
and can show better style than any
class of women in the world and we
are not surprised that they won first
place on these occasions. We have
outstripped other nations in almost
every other line and why should not
the American women come to the
front and hold the honors for style
and good taste in dress?

BANIsHED INTO SIBERIA.

An unusual thing occurred in rus
STA a few days ago when the aristo-
crat, Count Roniker, was convicted
and sentenced to eleven years OF ban
ishment to Siberia and during the
whole time is to do hard labor in the
mines of that country and after this
sentence is completed he is to remain
in Siberia the remainder OF his natur-
al life.
The offense with which this party
is charged is the murder of his broth
er-in-law. When the sentence was
pronounced by the Central criminal
court his devoted wife, who has stuck
to him through the several trials which
led to his final conviction. and also ms
mother, both collapsed and wept bit
terly. His wife was witness IN ms
behalf on the trial and accused the
victim of leading double life. when
her own mother publicly in court &C
cused her of classifying and cried out
that her testimony was the result OF
the influence of the prisoner upon her;
that the defendant had hypnotized her
daughter to such an extent that she
was willing to commit perjury.

CORPORATIONS INDICTED.

The federal grand jury of Chicago
returned indictments the latter part
of the week against several large cor
porations, charging them with the CIV
ing of rebates.
The following concerns were IN
dicfad: Swift & Company, Pittsburg,
CINCINNATI, Chicago & st. Louis rail
road, the Pennsylvania railroad and
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad.
We are not so much surprised to
hear of Swift & company being caught
for violating the anti-rebate law, but
we are surprised at the Pennsylvania
railroad. perhaps the greatest rail
road company in the world, and sui
more surprised that the Chicago g
Northwestern was charged with this
offe0se.
We were growing to look upon the
Northwestern railroad as somethlns
near us. in which we naturally take
pride, as it is part OF our own I'M
movements, but when it comes 10
violating the law we are against 1t ana
ashamed of it; it ought to know pet
fer and avoid complications OF this
character. The practice OF rebatlng
has been the curse of modern rail
road business and when the law was
passed against it the Northwestern
should have respected the law anu
STONED the practice. We do not say
the road is guilty because this can
only be determined by a trial, put
we regret to hear that the charge Is
made against it. .

western granted rebates to David kut-
