EVER SAL|vATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
CaIOmeI is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver

Calomel loses your a day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel IS dangerous. 1t crashes
into sour bile like dynamite, cramping
and sickening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put into yout
system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and believe
you need a dose of dangerous calomel
just remember that your druggist sells
for so cents a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone, which is entirely vegeta-
BILE and pleasant ito take and is a per
feet substitute for caIomel. 1t is guar.
anteed to start your liver without stir
ring you up inside, and cannot sail
vate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you sick
the next day; il loses you days work.
Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you
right UP and you feel great. Give II
to the children because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn't gripe.-(Advt)

years, requested my partner. Mr.. Nutter,
to aid him in connection with obtaining
proxies for the annual meeting of the
Illinois Central Mr. Nutter, in the
presence of Sullivan G. Cromwells rep
resentative,' asked me on that day wheth-
er there was anything in my merger fight
which should prevent his acting in that
matter and I told him none whatever
that so far as knew Mr.. Hartman had
no interest OF any kind in the merger
question.
"'Mr. Nutter did act for Messrs. Sui
Ivan g. Cromwell and either here or
persons employed by him solicited in
the most open manner. during the course
OF several months, proxies-applying
among others to many gentlemen who
were known to be most actively in ia
vor of the merger"

in Mr.. Brandeis' book an attack on Mr.
Hartman and quotations from the opin-
Ion of Commissioner Lane, of the inter
state comerce commission, telling of Mr.
Harriman's interest in various roads"

Thus has the fight for control of Sa-
vannah broken out in a new place. One
of these clubs is headed by u. J. Lime
house and DR.. George w. Heriot, who
are two stanch ationists.
The other has as its guiding spirits r.
J. Travis, city attorney, and Thomas
Halligan, clerk of council. Each of
these gentlemen is a stauch Pierpont

bodies is plain.
l. They both want the favor of the COVER

the legislature to shorten the term of
the mayor. Messrs. Heriot and Lime
house want it shortened. Messrs. Halli-
gan and Travis do not. That makes the
issue.
Colonel Travis has just returned from
Atlanta and he says the governor is not
going to do anything TO help the other
crowd reduce the mayors term. Colonel
Shelby Myrick is just back from Atlanta
and he says the governor is NOT going
to interfere with the plans to shorten

governor are convinced that both of
these returned pilgrims are correct.
