Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy.

Few medicines have met with
more favor or accomplished more
good than Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
From a small beginning its sale and
use has extended to all parts OF
the United States and to many for
eign countries. Everywhere it has
received unstinted praise. We con-
fidently believe that it has reliev-
ed more pain and suffering ano
saved the lives of more people than
any other one preparation in use
One or two doses of it is enough &c
relieve an ordinary attack OF CONC
or diarrhoea. 1t has been used IN
many epidemics of dysentery with
perfect success. 1t is especially val
liable for summer diarrhoeas III
children. Every family should keeI
it at hand as attacks of cholera
morbus often result fatally before
medicine can be procured or phy'
stefan summoned. For sale by al
dealers. III

After the wires were cut the
ends were picked up and the wire
rolled much the same as lineman

Only wires in the direction of
Macon and Atlanta running from

AGED FARMER TRIES
TO COMMIT SUICIDE
Hacks Head Frightfully With q
Ratchet and Lies in Pool of
Blood Several Hours.
(From Fridays Daily Press)

Green Wallace, aged 65 years, a
prominent and well to do farmer re-
siding on his farm one mile east
of Halliday, attempted to commit
suicide about midnight last night
by hacking himself on the head
with a dull Ratchet. He inflicted
forty or fifty wounds on his skull,
extending from his forehead al
most to the base of his skull. His
injuries are so serious that the at
tending physician says there is no
hope for his recovery.
V. G. Calvin, who resides near
the Wallace home, came to Para
gould this morning to send mes
sage to Mrs. Withers, daughter of
Mr.. Wallace, at Mulberry, Kansas.
Mr.. Calvin was the first to reach
the Wallace home this morning
and found the old gentleman lying
in a pool of blood on his front
porch. A physician was summoned
and restoratiyes administered to
the wounded man. He revived and
appeared to be rational. He told
the physician and Mr.. Calvin he
did not want to live and insisted
they do nothing for him.
Mr.. Wallace's widowed sister,
Mrs. Sarah Dinwiddy, lives with
him and keeps house for him. She
is i'll with fever and neighbor,
Mrs Roth, was sitting up with Mrs.
Dinwiddy and administering to her.
Mrs Roth states she thought Mr..
Wallace was in his bed and she
knew nothing of his attempt at
self destruction, although she re-
calls that about midnight she heard
noise on the front porch and dis
tinctly remembers she heard blows.
However, she gave only passing no
tice to the slight disturbance and
did not go to the porch to investi-
gate.
Mr. Calvin said the porch was
despatched with blood, that Wal
lace's head was literally hacked to
pieces on the surface, that blood
had clotted over one of his eyes un-
til it had formed small pool.
Friends and neighbors can as
sign no cause for his act. He was
in good circumstances, owned a
splendid farm, owed no financial
obligations and apparently had
been we'll contented with life. He

When the place was closed the
crowd was awaiting a chance to
get into the undertaking rooms
The police Immediately dispersed
the crowd and within short time
only a few scattered gatherings
were to be seen. Many, however
walked past the establishment, but
were not allowed to halt.
Men and boys did a thriving
business selling post card photo

from the tree to which it wa!
found hanging near Marietta.
Mr.. Haas stated before leaving

KID CHAUFFEURS
ARE NOT BARRED
City Council Kills Ordinance Plac-
ing Age Limit of Sixteen
Years on Auto Drivers.
(From Tuesdays Daily Press.) }

(From Tuesdays Daily Press.) }
Paragould's juvenile population
the contingent that now oper-
ates motor vehicles and those who
hope some day to preside at the
steering gear of the ''fours" and
"sixes"-will not be molested by
the city council, the proposed ordi-
nance to make it illegal for boys
and girls under sixteen years OF
age to run automobiles in the city
having been indefinitely postponed
by the city dads.
The ordinance was introduced at
a meeting of the council held two
of the rules, was given it's second
reading. Final action was post
poned until last night when it was
again called up for consideration.
Senator Futrell appeared before the
council and protested against the
passage of the ordinance, declar-
ing that an age limit was no test
of efficiency in the operation of a
motor car. He said there are sew
eral boys and girls in Paragould
running cars who are skilled and
careful drivers, while there are
many adults who are inefficient
and reckless. Members of the coun-
Gil took this view of the matter and
a motion to indefinitely postpone
the ordinance passed without a
dissenting vote.
w. w. Bandy appeared before
the council to emphasize his pro-
test against the creation of a new
paving district to embrace West
Garland and tributary streets. He
insisted the people in the proposed
new district, or at least some of
them, were not able to pay for
street paving and that it was the
duty of the council to refuse to
pass an ordinance creating the dis
trict. J. T. Hester wanted the or
dinance passed. City Attorney &C.
Gil Shane said it was not discre-
tionary with the council, that if
ten property owners in given ter
ritory petition the council to Gre
ate the district it was obligatory
upon the member of the body to
act favorably upon the ordinance.
Those opposed to the improvement
have the right to refuse to sign
the second or binding petition, but
if a majority in point of value pc
tition for the improvement it is
the duty of the council to take the
necessary steps to pave the streets
by appointing the commissioners
and the assessors. Those who op-
pose the paving will have an OPP
portunity to question the suffi-
cheney of the petition. Remon-
strances filed at this time are out
of order and cannot be given any
consideration. The council &C
cepted the initial petition, ordered
the clerk to copy it on the minutes
and instructed the city attorney &c
prepare the initiatory ordinance
creating the district and have il
ready for passage at the next meet
ing of the council two weeks
hence.

SLATON EXCORIATES MOB.
San Francisco, Aug. 17-Former
Gov. John M. Slaton of Georgia,
who committed the sentenced of
Leo M. Frank and who is here
visiting the exposition, was inform
ed this morning that Frank had
been lynched.
1.-THE act was consummate out
rage" said Mr.. Slaton, "and every
man engaged in the lynching
should be hanged for he is an as
sassin. Such an act is contrary to
the civilization of Georgia and one
which every good citizen will con-
denim.
Il could use no language too
condemnatory. l believe the gov
ernor of Georgia will use all the
power of the state to punish the
malefactors who disgraced the CIV
ilization of Georgia.
Their act was one of cowardice,
which belongs alone to the assass-
in.
Il am shocked and Mortified be-
yond expression. Any man who
approves of the action of this mob
of murderers is unworthy to be a
Georgian. Any man or newspaper
which condones this offense ought
to be driven out of the state. But
the conduct of this miserable mob
of assassins is the conduct of the
same sort of people who shoot peo-
pie from behind fence or murder
a woman from a cowardly heart
