“The matter is now being looked
into and a special report has been
called for. As soon as this report, is
received, we will give the case careful
consideration and take appropriate
action, advising you of the same.”
Congressman Hardwick, in a letter
to The Herald on the subject, says:
"I have not been unobservant of
the complaints that have been made
in your city about, the late arrivals of
the malls. Two weeks ago I wrote
the post office department, suggesting
that the postmaster general had a
right, to impose a fine upon the rail
roads for their continued failure to
make their schedules and to give the
public (hat efficient service to which
it Is entitled.
"The department, promises to give
some relief in the near future and
as I have noted your interest In the
service and have entirely approved
of your position about, these constant
delays I hand you the communication
of the post office department on the
matter.
The Herald has been pushing the
matter for some time and while no
blame can be laid to the local Office
some remedy must be had. The fact
that the winter season is coming QO
and Augusta needs prompt mail ser
vice, lends greater importance to the
work. Every effort will be brought to
bear until the evil of delayed malls
is corrected, and the public here are
given the service which they are Just
ly entitled to have.
The oommunivation of the Acting
Second Assistant Postmaster general
to Congressman Hardwick follows:

DEATH OF DR. J. T. MORTON:
WELL KNOWN IN AUGUSTA
The sad death of Os' John T Mor

norac time since. Has caused general
regret In Augusta. Mia death occur
red at the Memorial Hospital of lllch
mond. Vh. , l*r. Morton was only 32
years of age. He was well known In
Augusta, where he graduated from the
Medical College several years ago
The following Is u clipping from a
Richmond paper:
"An oak has fallen In the forest; a
strong man has been taken from
among ns; but there Is nought to
mourn hut his absence; hla life's la
bors were well done."
Struck down ill the full flush nf
manhood. Just ns he had crossed the
threshold of a bright professional ca
reer. it would seem an untimely end;
hut only in point of years. His life
of usefulness and noble ministration
to the needs of his fellow man. em
braced a life time of unselfishness and
faithful service, and the memory of
his arts of kindness, generosity anil
sympathetic Interest will live ever In
the hearts and minds of the people.
Persistent in the prosecution of his
every purpose, loyal to every charge
aud demand of friendship, his life was
consecrattd to the service of others,
and given in the faithful discharge of
duly. Earth never pillowed upon her
bosom a Inter sou. nor Heaven open
ed w-ide her portals to receive a man
lier spirit. The end was quiet and
peaceful, tvplral of his life, which In
its sunny-heartedness, diffused a gen
ml warmth around all with whom he
came in contact. He was the Idol of
his friends, and as a physician always
ready to give his time, his means and
his talents to those In need. His
loyalty to men was proverbial, and
he held fast their grateful affection
A useful life, happy, bright, benefi
cent, Is brought to an honorable end;
and we can but thank God that this,
llis servant, departed from this life
In His faith, and fear. Oh. If when
the death angel raised the latch at
the chamber door of the lamented,
the pravera v>r his devoted father,
grandfather, sisters. brother and
scores of friends could have stayed
the footsteps of the unwelcomed visit
or, the shaft for the loved one would
have rested in the quiver. But a
voice from the spirit land spoko; the
arrow sped; the bright mark was
struck.
Tricked by Dyspepsia
THE DOCTOR COULDN’T TELL
WHERE THE TROUBLE LAY.
"For the past seven years 1 have
been a victim of dyspepsia and chron
ic constipation and have consulted
the most noted specialists to be found
on tliseases of this character. None,
however, seemed to locale the diffi
culty or give relief. In addition to this
medic,al treatment. I have resorted to
the use of manv remedies and hav«»
given them faithful trial, but all kj no
purpose.
Upon recommendation of a close
friend, I purchased a 50e. package of
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and In less
than live days noticed that I was re
ceiving more benefit than from any
remedy t had used before. 1 con
tinued to use the tablets after each
meal for one month and by that time
my stomach was In a healthy condl
tlon, capable of digesting anythin*
which my increasing appetite demand
ed.
We wish that you could sec with
your own eyes the countless other
bona-fide signed letters from grateful
men and women all over the land who
had suffered years of agony with dys
pepsia. tried every known remedy and
consulted eminent specialists without
result, until they gave Stuart’s Dys
pepsia Tablets a trial. Like the doctor
above, they couldn’t, locate the seat
of the trouble.
Dyspepsia is a disease which has
long baffled physicians. So difficult
of location Is the disease that cure
seems next to miraculous. There is
only one way to treat dyspepsia—to
supply the elements which nature
has ordained to perform this func
tlon and to cause them to enter the
digestive organs, supplying the fluids
which they lack. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets alone fill these requirements,
as Is shown by the fact that 40,000
physicians In the United States and
Canada unite In recommending them
to their patients for stomach disord
ers.
We do not claim or expect Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets to cure anything
but disordered conditions of the stom
ach and other digestive organs, but
thlirthey never fail to do. They work
upon the inner lining of the stomach
and Intestines, stimulate the gastric
glands and aid in the secretion of
Juices necessary to digestion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 50 cents a
box. One box will frequently effect a
perfect cure. If In doubt and wish
more adequate proof send ye your
name and address and 'we will gladly
mall you a sample package free. F. A.

day. It plilsates and thrills with tremendously strong scenes,
and the whole plot Is one of long sustained appeal to every emo
tion that sways normal man- It la such a story as ono reads but
once In a lifetime.
The life-drama has for Its actors as strange an aggregation
of people as ever was gathered together on the stage. And. In
deed, each character served dramatic purpose.
The hero, Dau Hweetland, for Instance, was a worker In th#
celebrated Vltlfer mine by day and « poacher by night. The hero
ine was no powdered Lady Clara Vere de Vere, hut a brown-eyed,
red-cheeked housemaid; the villain was a liveried servant, and
the scene of action the social circles of the class.
Yet, never did Shakespeare himself Imagine a stranger, more
thrilling set of happenings than have Just come to light In refer
ence to these humble persons. It Is a heart-romance of love,
hatred, Jealousy, Intrigue, revenge, mystery and keen wit unex
celled In any Italian tale of the Middle Ages.
To begin with. Dan Hweetland loved pretty Minnie Marshall.
So did his chum, Titus 81m,foot man on the same estate. 81m
was well-to-do. Dan was poor. 81m was ultra-respectable. Dan
was a trifle less than reputable. Ho the girl loved Dan and turn
ed up her pretty nose at 81m. Thus far. nothing unusual. Wo
men have a way of doing such things. But at that Juncture Fate
took a hand In the game, and out of that humbld material were
moulded a tragic, dramatic situation and throng of ensuing epi
sodes such as novelist has seldom dreamed of.
