Great Strides of
Atlanta Shown by
Business Statistics

Some comparative statistics show
Ing Atlanta's advance along certain
civic and commercial lines were given
out Thursday by w. H. Leahy, sta
tlstical secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, and reveal, among others.
the following facts:
Atlanta's bank ciearings have in
creased from $50, 1891 in 1893 to
s725, 604.192 in 1913-about twelve
times as much as twenty years ago.
The clearings are more than three
times as much as in 1908. The as
sessed valuation of property has ad-
vanced s18.000,000 in the last year.
The bank deposits have increased
more than $5,000,000 in the same pc
Rod. The postofficc receipts gained
$4,000 in 1913 over the previous
year.
A careful estimate of manufacture
ing concerns in. Atlanta and Fulton
County numbers them at 900, with a
total capital of $60,000,000, and an
annual valuation of manufactured
product of S50000,000. Atlanta is the

SlatOn COMMITTEES
Sentence of Death
Of Insane Slayer

Governor Slaton to-day committed
to life Imprisonment the death SEN
tence of |. B. Hall, of Tiff County,
convicted of numbering Dennis Hall,
in a fight about a year ago.
The Governor based his commuta-
ton upon Halls mental incapacity
and his bad family history. Although
apparently sane at the time of the
homicide and normal at long inter-
walls. the Governor found Hall has
numerous relatives, including two
brothers, in the mad house, and is
himself irresponsible at times, and
for these reasons he saved the con-
victed man from the gallows. DR..
Baird, of Atlanta, at the Governors
direction, Investigated Halls mental
condition and could find nothing
wrong with him, but it seems that
there are times when Hall is far from
well balanced
There was no opposition to the pc
tition for clemency, and it was in
dorsed by practically every citizen of
standing in Tiff County.

MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic, CrippIed-up Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses
Of New Remedy Are
Taken.

II is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up and bent out of shape with it's
heart wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid II.
Rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
The blood the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and II Is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies TO relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is TO remove the cause. The new dis
eoVery, CroXone, does this because il
neutraliZes and dissolVes all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up. inactive kidneys
so they can filter all the poisons from
The blood and drive IL on and out OF
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron-
lc rheumatism, kidney troubles and
bladder disorders. You will find /,
different from all other remedies
There is nothing else on earth like II
1t matters not how old you are, OF
how long you have suffered, 1t /,
practically impossible TO take It int,
The human system without results
You will find relief from the first few
doses, and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and sufferin,
win end

thorized to sell II on a positiv,

Fancied Pursuers,

John Holder, an Englishman and
pauper at the county almshouse
suffered from an hallucination that
hoodthirsty mob was seeking him
seeking him to cut his head off
So just about daylight Thursday
morning Holders disordered mind
achieved a plan to balk his relentless
pursuers.
He tried TO cut his own head off.
His weapon was q dull pocketknife,
but he nearly succeeded. He died at
Grady hospital
Arrested as Vagrant.
Holder. who gave his age Is 50 and
his home as Birmingham. England,
was arrested last December, charged
wit, yagrancv. His health appeared
shattered and instead Of sending MN
TO the stockade. he was turned over
10 the county almshouse.
The last two nights Holder had APP
peared, frightened and trembling, IN
the room of NJ H. Gallaher, assistant
superintendent II,
They're looking for me- he whim-
pered. "A big crowd is looking for
me. They're going to cut my head
of when they find me-
Gallaher Gained the frightened
man.
Had Room No. 10.
NO one can get you here" he would
assure him. This is a good place to
be. don't believe anyone is looking
for you, but, anyway. they won't find
YOU in here"
And then Holder somewhat reas-
sured. would hurry back to his own
room-it was No (which he
shared with b. Kalligher and ]. II.
Willard.
The same thing happened Wednes-
day night, and again the assistant SUI
perintendent Gained the terror
stricken EEglishman and induced him
TO go quietly to bed.
At 5 o'clock Kalligher and Will
lard were awakened by the noise of
sound. from Holders bed.
Throat Cut With Pocketknife.
He was leaning over the edge of his
bed and they could see that he was
bleeding badly. Their first thought
was of hemorrhage. and they ran to
summon Gallaher and the superin-
tendent. A. Q. Turner.
An examination showed that Hol-
der's throat had been cut with a
pocketkpife. which lay on the bed be-
side him. DR. Paul Mcdonald, county
physician, came in a motor car from
his home at Bolton. and gave all the
attention possible, Holder having be-
come uncC nscious.
