If there is a man in Macd

Chief of Police of that city
Chief Riley has been prominent

affairs for a number of we'd
and is highly esteemed and I
spected for his high charactel
and integrity by all who know
him. In an interesting inter
view recently. Chief Riley said

living here for 80 years. | have
always enjoyed very good health. !

and was confined to my bed for
three months with a trouble
that developed into pleurisy with
serious complications, and | had
to undergo several operations.

After getting out my right
side continued to pain me. My
breath would get short, and
had terrible pains and swellings
in my legs and feet and catching
pains in my hips and the small
of my back. This trouble made
me very nervous and lost sleep.
To tell you the truth. | was in
mighty bad shape, and nothing
in the way of medicine seemed
to do me much good.

great deal and my whole system
seemed to be filled with Uric

little control over my kidneys
and this bothered me a great
deal. Like everybody else, /
got to reading about Tanlac and
decided to give it a trial. l can
understand now why everybody
is praising this medicine, for it
helped me right from the start.
The pains in my sides have left
me entirely and | now have con-
troll over my kidneys. The
swellings have all gone down
and feel like a new man in

CHILD Is KILLED
 BY ICE WAGON
Little Five Year Old Hazel Crow, Daughter of MT. and Mrs. Lawrence Crow of Near Pres colt, is Victim of Accident.

Little Hazel Crow, the fve-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Lawrence Crow, who live about three miles south of Prescott, was killed instantly this morning about 10:3O o'clock by the ice wagon belonging to the Prescott Ice and Milling Co.,, the rear wheel running over the child's head and crushing the back of the head into pulp.
 The accident occurred in front of Chas. Lancaster's residence and was witnessed by Mrs John Lancaster, who testified at the coroner's inquest this afternoon that Byron Franks, who was working on the wagon, was in front of Luther Westmoreland's s front gate talking to another boy who was also working on the wagon, and all at once the team which was hitched to the wagon started to trot off. The team trotted on down the street and struck buggy which was standing in front of Chas. Lancaster's, and in which was seated little Hazel Crow. It seems the wagon in striking the buggy knocked the little girl out and under the wheel, which passed over her head.
 The wheel of the buggy was almost demolished, but none of the spokes were broken completely out.
 Other witnesses testified that Byron Franks, who was driving the wagon, ran out by the side of the team and tried to stop it, but failed, and then ran up and caught hold of the buggy in an effort to hold the buggy down so that the child would not be thrown out.
 The father of the little girl is away from home somewhere in Texas. The mother is overcome with grief.
 The coroner's jury rendered the following verdict; We the jury find that the deceased Hazel Crow, came to her death by being run over by the ice wagon belonging to the Prescott Ice & Milling Co.,, and driven by Byron Franks; caused by the negl- gence of the driver and the said com pany"

WEATHER AFFECTS
 COTTON FUTURES
Rallies Follow Decline on Fore cast of Rain, But the Close is LOwer-VOlume of Business is Comparatively Light.

New York, Sept 28.-Conficting weather and crop reports caused ire gular fluctuations in the cotton mar ket today, but the close was steady at net decline of g to 20 points, under realizing or liquidation for the week end and the approaching government reports. After selling at 23.94c early, December broke to 23.62c. rallied to 23.88c, and closed at 2367c.
 The market opened easy at an ad- vance of 12 points to a decline of 13 points, with October selling off to 24.30c and January to 23.49c during the early trading, or about 9 to 26 points net lower on the active months. Reports that the gulf storm was curv- ing in a direction that would not carry 1t far inland promoted the selling movement, but the decline was check ed by the eastern belt forecast for rain, and rallies of 25 or 35 points fol- lowed on the detailed weather reports showing heavy rains ip Alabama and Georgia, bullish private condition fig ures, reports of continued steady spot basis and covering. The western belt forecast for fair and warmer weather relieved the nervousness caused by recent frost predictions, however, and the market turned easier again during the afternoon, under scattering liqui- dation and little local selling, with the volume of business comparatively light. Cotton closed steady.

Sept. 2S.-Dr. Michael tho German imperial chancellor, in .reech to the main committee of the psicbstag, said that Pope Benedict's .a.o rronosals were inspired by .orol seriousness, pure justice and .,ntralitv. which things were lacking ;n tbe reply made by President Will son to the pope.
 Ipstifying Germany's refusal to .+o4a her war aims, Dr. Michaelis said ,r.b action would only have a con- fnsing effect and would injure Ger mon interests The chancellor said ,bo announced military exertions were awaited by Germany with calm con- idenCe
 Were Germany to state her war aims. the chancellor said, it would preiudice the complex questions to be discussed at the time of peace nego- tations.
 The chancellor strongly attacked President Wilson's reply to the pope, which he asserted merely bound the German people together more firmly.
 Dr. Michaelis dwelt upon "the sat sfactory state of our relations with the neutrals," which could not be dis turbed, he said, even by the unprece- dented exertions of a hostile press.
 We greatly deplore." he continued. "the sufferings caused to the neutrals by our enemies economic war and we are always prepared to assume a share in the provisioning of the neu- tals.
 The ecoromi, and financial difficult ties of France are fast increasing. Still more keenly felt is the economic distress in Italy. In England, also, the war is exercising its certain, in- exorable effect The deceptive hope of dissension amongst us causes the leading British statesmen to continue to adhere to their war aims, or at least, to proclaim such aims as are en- trely incompatible with political, eco- nomical and vital needs of Ger many"
