The state supreme court handed down
a decision Tuesday on one phase OF the
famous James NJ. Smith case, which
has caused considerable litigation IN
state and federal cCrrts since Jim
Smith. a wealthy Georgia planter, died
intestate on his big plantation in Osle-
thorpe county.
This decision effects one of the nu-
merous sets of heirs which have laid
claim to the estate, its main point De-

jurisdiction over the state from Ogle-
thorpe county to Habersham county.
The case is that Of Henry *. Smith,

ioin Messrs Smith. Meadow, Arnold and
other temporary administrators appoint

from handling the affairs of the estate
further and name receivers TO take
charge of the estate.
They based their petition on.the ground
that fraud had been committed by the
temporary administrators in obtaining
employment "a such, that they had mis-

New York. ~ Y-It is conservatively
estimated that over three million people
annually in this country alone are taking
NuXated Iron. Such astonishing results
have been reported from it's use both by
doctors and laymen that a number OF
physicians in various parts OF the coun-
try have been asked to explain why they
prescribe it so extensively, and why 1t
apparently produces 80 much better re-
suits than were obtained from the ola
forms of inorganic iron.
Extracts from some of the letters re-
ceived are given below:
DR.. King, a New York physician and
author. saws: There can be no vigorous
iron men without iron. Pallor means
anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficiency.
The skin of anaemic men and women is
pale. The flesh fiabby. The muscles
lack Tone the brain flags and the memory
fails and they often become weak, ner-
vous. irritable, respondent and melan-
choly When the iron goes from the
blood of women, the roses go from their
cheeks.

fning processes have removed the iron

by throwing down the waste-pipe the
water in which our vegetables are cooked,
Is responsible for another grave iron loss.
Therefore, if you wish to preserve your
youthful vim and vigOr to ripe old age,
YOU must supply the iron deficiency in
your food by using some form of organic
iron just as you would use salt when
your food has not enough salt.
DR.. f. Sauer a Boston physician who
has studied widely in both this country
and in prominent European Medical In
situations says: "As 7 have said a hum
dred times over, organic iron is the
grea test of all strength builders If peo-
pie would only throw away habit-form-
ing drugs and nauseous connections and
take NuNated Iron, | am convinced that
the lives of thousands of persons might
be saved who now die every year from
pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kidney,
liver and heart troubles, etc. The real
and true cause which started their dis
eases was nothing more nor less than
weakened condition brought on by lack
of iron in the blood.
Not long ago a man came to me who
was nearly half century old and asked
me to give him a preliminary examina
tion for life insurance. / was astonished
to find him with blood pressure of a
boy of 90 and as full of vigor, vim and
vitality as a young man: in fact, young

COAL ENOUGH.
Official Figures for Six Months Reassur-
ing to Coal Users.

Not only food but fuel is vital need
of this country and of our allies--coal
to run the ships and railroads, to feed
the iron furnaces and furnish steam for
all the manufacturing plants, coal in
greater quantities than have ever before
been mined in the United States or in
any part of the woodland this need is
being met in truly American fashion by
the operators and owners of the mines
and by the diggers of coal. With these
words, Secretary Franklin X. Lane be-
gan his statement regarding the coal sit
uation as reported to him by the stats
ticians of his department.
The production of coal in the United
States last year, he continued, was the
greatest in the history OF the country
A new record, however, was set for the
first six months of this year, fully 270,-
100000 tons OF bituminous coal being
produced since Jan. /, thus exceeding the
output of the first six months of last
year by about 20,000,000 tons. Even
better news is that the limit has not
yet been reached, for as the railroads
are able to work out to better advantage
the problem of car supply and give to
the mines greater facilities for trans
porting their product to market, the sup
ply Of coal that reaches the consumer
will be in steadily increasing quantities
In the early months of 1917, because of
the congestion of the railroads and the
difficulties of transportation. the produc-
tion of bituminous coal fell behind the
high mark set in January and February,
a year ago. As result of the patriotic
and earnest endeavor of the railroad Of
ficials and the coal operators and rep
of mine workers who have |
their services to the federal |
government in this emergency, produc- |
ton has been speeded up within the last /
lew months and the output of soft coal /
which in May exceeded all previous rec
,rds, was surpassed in June.
Despite the extra demand in this coun-
ny and the urgent needs of our allies,
loubt that the coal industry, under the
areful guidance of those now directing
Is welfare, will be able to supply all
reeds.
The difficulty of distribution now so

and Holland are greatly exercised over
the prospect of an embargo of exports
from the United States to prevent sup.
plies reaching the central powers through
these countries. Denmark and Sweden
are further embarrassed by the eontin.

ever met, by German U-boats. In Mex

aroused, and latest news from there indi.
Gates that Mexico even may go into the
war on the side of the allies, to Mexico's
great advantage. Argentina is reported
to have sent another note TO Germany
demanding immediate apology and in
demnity for the sinking of the Oriana
and the Toro recently. Argentina had
been, 10 say the least, over patient. Now
there is some prospect that the repeated
acts OF Germany will nullify
the strong sentiment in Argentina that
has prevented, up to this time, severance
of relations with Germany. In Holland
the situation is desperate also. Holland
has been sending food to England,
France, Germany and Belgium, but espe.
,ially to Germany. There is little doubt
but that thousands of tons of foodstuffs
have reached Germany from the United
States by way of Holland. Food demon
