dog owned by Isaac W. Thrasher,
and one owned by L. R. McRae,

Either wound would have been
fatal.

vin, in December last, was con
cluded late yesterday afternoon.

West Point, Ga., May 30.—Lu
cius J. Weldon, head mail carrier
on rural route No. 3, was killed at
noon today by his cousin, Dr. G.
H. Weldon. L. J. Weldon was on
his daily trip over his mail route
today and at the usual time, be
tween 11 and 12 o’clock, he stop**
ped at the home of his cousin.
Mr. Weldon went into the house
as was his regular daily custom.
He entered the front room of the
residence in which Dr. Weldon
was confined to his bed and after
his geeling him passed through
the house to the kitchen. He had
hardly greeted Mrs. Weldon when
Dr. Weldon rose from his bed and
with collected strength made his
way across the bed room to where
he had a double barreled shotgun.
Taking this he deliberately shot at
his cousin, blowing his brains out.
ville. Ashly McDuffie was cau
tioned by Marshal Blue not to con
tinue his disturbances. Mr. Mc
Duffie, it is said, paid no attention
to Officer Blue and continued at
will his disturbance. In the night,
when Mr. Blue attempted to arrest
him, McDuffie resisted and they
became engaged in a fatal row,
which resulted in McDuffie shoot
ing Blue. Mr. Blue lived but two
or three hours afterward and died
in great agony. McDuffie escap.
ed and fled. Citizens of the town
and country immediately secured
bloodhounds and put on his trail.
They succeeded in tracking him to
the Ocmulgee river. It is suppos
ed he crossed and hid in the thick
swamp beyond. The hunt is at
this time kept up.
Macon, May 27.—The work
of preparing Central City Park for
the coming fair in October is pro
ceeding rapidly, and many im
provements in the grounds have
been made. The debris from the
burned fair building has been al
most entirely cleared away, and
this site will be ready for the three
new buidings which have been
decided upon as soon as the con
tract for buildings has been let.
The directors of the fair associa
tion predict that the meeting of
this season will be the most suc
cessful ever held.
Dublin,Ga.,May 27.—(Special.)
— Orner J. Coney, a young man
well known in Laurens county,
was arrested today charged with
the murder of the infant found in
the Oconee river Saturday after
noon. Coney made a confession
to officers during the day, in
which he stated that he put the
child into a sack and then threw
it into the river. When examined
by a coroner and a jury, the infant
showed evidences of having been
mutilated—its throat was cut or
stabbed. Coney denies any
knowledge of this feature of the
case. The young man was mar
ried four months ago into one of
ihe most prominent families in
Laurens county and the people of
Dublin are almost unnerved by
the shocking and unmentionable
features connected with the affair.
Coney is in jail. Owing to the
prominence of the families in
volved the officers and others
working up the case have been
greatly embarrassed, not wishing
to cause the slightest humiliation
needlessly. Coney attended
Emory College a year or two ago
and he has always borne a good
reputation here. The charge
against him is, therefore, the
harder for the people to believe.
When arrested he was in the
river swamp about three miles
from Dublin. Coney’s preliminary
investigation has not yet been set
nor has the young man yet em
ployed an attorney.
Macon, Ga , May 29.—The
creditors of the late R. H. Plant
will be given every penny of life
insurance taken out for his es
tate. Since the death of Mr.
Plant the fact that he had been
forced into bankruptcy has
brought on a discussion as to the
value of that life insurance he
carried for his creditors, an insur
ance commonly known as estate
insurance. The aggregate for
which those policies were written
was seven hundred and sixty odd
thousand dollars. But at the
time the banker was pushed into
bankruptcy the surrender value of
those policies was estimated at
$75,000. The widow will not
accept one penny of any of the
money which had been originally
written to the creditors. From a
reliable source, an indisputable
source, comes the emphatic wish
and desire of Mrs. Plant and her
childien that the creditors shall
have the benefit of the entire es
tate insurance. On all sides it is
generally conceded that Mis.
Plant is entitled to a dower in all
the real estate of Mr. Plant and
to a year’s support for herself and
her family. Both these, it is said
on the game authority, have been
renounced so that every penny
except the insurance directly in
tended for his family will go to
his creditors. These concessions,
for every one admits the act to be
a great, self-sacrificing concession,
will amount to many thousands of
dollars, and will mean much to
the creditors.
A Foreign Ant to be imported
Cotton Fields.
Washington, May 27.—The de
partment of agriculture today
announced that an ant has been
found in Guatemala that is an
effective enemy of the bo4 weevil
It will be immediately introduced
into the cotton states.
The greatest significance
attached to the discovery, which
was made by O.F. Cook, the bo
tanist in charge of tropical agricul
tural investigations of the bureau
of plant industry.
Cabled instructions have been
sent to him to report immediately
to the department what assistance
he needs in the way of men and
money. During a trip in Central
America last year Mr. Cook dig'
covered a cotton grown by Indians
which gave evidence of being im
mune from the attacks of tho boll
weevil and on orders from the de
partment he later began an inves
tigation in certain points in Guate
mala and Mexico.
Mr. Cook’s investigations have
been in more or less accessible
regions in the province of Alta
Vera Paz, Guatemala. The wee
vils are present there, but the i
vestigations show that they are
unquestionably kept in check by
th» presence of an active enemy in
the shape of a large, reddish brown
ant, which is attracted to the cotton
by the food, which it secures from
sets of floral nectarets.
These ants spread themselves
over fields of cotton, four or five to
a plant, and they are constantly
engaged in the destructions of the
boll weevil. Mr. Cook reports
that the adroit and business.like
way in which the weevil is dispos
ed of seems to prove beyond ques-
that the ant is by structure and by
instinct especially equipped for
the work of destruction and is
in s'.ort the true explanation of
the fact that the cotton is success
fully cultivated by the Indians of
Alta Vera Paz in spite of the pres
ence of the boll weevil.

NO TRAMPS IN GERMANY.
Labor Conditions There Are Not
Favorable to Their Development.
Today the lot of the laboring
man in Germany is in many rs
spects better than that of ours
The German state recognizes the
right of every man to live—we do
not. When the German laborer
becomes old or feeble the state
pensions him honorably. In Ger
many the laboring man can ride on
the electric cars for 2 cents—we
pay 5. German cities have public
baths, public laundry establish
ments, big parks, free concerts and
many other features which soften
poverty, although they may not
remove it.
The corollary to this is that the
emperor permits no tramps to ter^
rorize his highways. The police
is organized for rural patrol as
well as city work, and every loafer
is stopped and made to give an
account of himself. In England
vagrancy has been a public nui**
sance for generation—with us it
has become of late years almost a
public danger. Germany has no
tramps. The man who is without
work in Geimany finds no induce-*
ment to remain idle. A paternal
government sets him to such hard
work that the would-be unemploy,
ed finds it decidedly to his interest
to seek some other employment as
soon as possible.-—National Maga
zine.
Indigestion Causes
CatarrH of tHe
Stomach.
For many years It has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames tho
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin Instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.

membranes lining the stomach, protects tho

BRIGHT’S DISEASE
Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping “it will wear away ” are
drifting towards Bright’s Disease, which is kidney trouble in one of its worst forms.’
DRIFTING
TOWARDS
FOLEYSKIDNEYCURE
stops irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues
of the kidneys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out
the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not and
the poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body
causing dizziness, backache, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart action etc!
yrnvrn^ an ^ signs of Kidney or Bladder Trouble commence taking FOLEY’S
KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight disorder in a few days and prevent a
fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system.
How to Find Out.
You can easily determine if your kidneys are
out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a
bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If
upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has
a brick-dust sediment or small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE should be taken
at once.
G. B. Burhans Testifies After Four Years.
G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes:
"About four year* ago I wrote you atatUf that I had been entirely
cured of a aevere kidney trouble by taking leaa than two bottlea of
Foley's Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the brick-dust sediment and
pain and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. I am glad to aay that
I have never had a return of any of thosa symptoma during the four
years that have elapsed, and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and
heartily recommend Foley's Y' J " - —

‘Motoring, while practical]}* in
its infancy the world over, is in its
swaddling clothes down in Dixie,’
remarked Frank T. Reynolds, edi
tor of The North Georgia Citizen,
of Dalton, Ga., to a Motor Age
epresentative. “Besides the ac
knowledged advantages possessed
by better highways in the more
densely populated sections of our
great country, you have suburban
competition in electric railways.
Of course all cities and towns of
any pretention down our way
have these latter and some of the
former, but most of the cities and
towns with us have physically
natural conditions that will aver
age better than with you.
“Now the point I wish to make
plain is that there are many, very
many, communities down there in
which lots of money can be made
on small capital by some one fami
liar with the automobile tc run
omnibus and transfer lines. I
have in mind two places, one of 15,-
000 and one of 6,000 population,
in which a young man with say
10 horsepower automobile, seating
four people, can do aland office bus
iness 11 1-2 months in the year.
He can do it hauling passsngers
from and to certain places in no
case exceeding two miles.
“A friend of mine in a Georgia
city of 40,000 bought a steamer to
carry four for his own pleasure.
The city being an almost perfectly
level one he devises a trailer of
automobile wheels and axles which
he hooked on his automobile and
he accommodates ten passengers
and travels faster than the average
horse. This can be done in a
great many places in the South.
So you see what an opening there
is for many young men of small
means. If you know of any who
desire to look into the matter I
will take pleasure in putting them
communication with reliable,
responsible people. We havt so
many towns of 5,000 to 10,000
population down there that are
without adequate intercommunica
tion and which cannot afford elec
tric railways and which would uot
pay, that offer splendid opportu
nity for automobile service.”— ( LcilTlbgit
