HEALTH PAST FIFTY
Careful diet is of utmost importance to
men and women past fifty years of age;
it keeps up their strength, and the oil-
food in Scott’s Emulsion is & nourishing
food, a curative medicine and a sustaining
tonic to regulate the functions.
It contains the medicinal hits of pure
cod liver oil and science proves that they
furnish twice as much energy as other
foods—then too, it creates pure blood,
sharpens the appetite, relieves rheuma
tism, strengthens the body and alleviates
the ailments due to declining years.
Scott’s is free from wines, alcohol or
harmful drags. Beware of substitutes.

tv/Hss Cora Hardy.
It is with deepest sorrow that we
say our dearest friend, Miss Cora Har
dy, has left ns; but why should we
grieve after her? ' Yes, everybody
loved her—that accounts for our untold
loneliness since she has gone; but how
sweet it is that God has given ns the
consolation that these partings are not
meant forever.
Let me say to her mother, her sisters,
her brothers and her friends and all
who loved her as she loved them, do
not think of her as being dead, for she
is not; she is peacefully at rest, and
we know she is.
This life is chiefly composed of trou
bles and disappointments—we are put
here for them. She has spent her life
here serving her God and brightening
the lives of those around-her; she has
been a blessing on earth.
Everything possible was done to keep
her with us while she was here; but
God, the great Father of all, saw best to
take Miss Cora to that home where
there is no pain or sorrow, no sickness
or deaths.
Let us do as Miss Hardy did: be a
soul winner for God, and we can meet
this dear friend again in that home God
has prepared for His children.
We miss thee from thy home, dear Cora,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow o’er our life is cast—
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing band,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Thy home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
A friend in sympathy,
HARRY S. LOWRY.

In memory of our dear beloved sister,
whom God, in His wisdom, has called
from among us to go to live with the
angels in heaven, where He had pre
pared for her.
Sister gave herself to Christ in early
life, and was a consistent member of
the Baptist church at New Hope. She
won the respect and love of all who
knew her by her kind words, and deeds.
Her affliction was long and severe;
still she never complained but bore it
with Christian patience.
Often did sister send up her earnest
petitions to her heavenly Father. Thus
she received strength and wisdom to
sustain her in her work and to keep
her from falling under the tempta
tions of Satan. The spirit of God has
been her constant guide and support.
She always gave God the glory for her
works on earth and said, “I can, of
mine ownself, do nothing.”
Our dear sister leaves behind her
father, mother, husband, five children,
four brothers and four sisters to mourn
her loss, besides other relatives and
friends.
Over the river they beckoned to her.
A loved one who crossed to the other
side;
The gleam of her snowy robe I see;
But her voice has been lost in the
dashing tide.
For Sheriff.
If I have not betrayed yonr confi
dence, I respectfully ask your support
in the general election.
Yonr obedient servant,
THOMAS R. GLENN.

J. G. Hicks, a former bailiff connect
ed with Judge S. B. Felker’s court
here, is being held in Atlanta, on the
charge of murdering W. H. Lane, a
special officer employed by the Nash-
ille, Chattanooga & St. Louis railroad
Hicks denies his guilt in the strongest
terms.
Officer Lane was shot and killed
Saturday night, and Monday, following
the coroner’s inquest, Hicks was or
dered held until the grand jury could
investigate the crime.
While a resident of this city, Hicks
made an excellent officer, and he has
many friends here, all of whom are
thoroughly convinced that a mistake
has been made and that Hicks had noth
ing to do with the crime.
Relative to the murder of Lane, the
Atlanta Journal had the following:
W. H. Lane, aged 39 years, of 20
Hayden street, a special officer for the
N. C. & St. L. railroad company, was
murdered about 10:20 o’clock Saturday
night in the railroad yards at the Thur
mond street crossing.
Patrolman M. S. Barton, who had
been talking with Lane until a minute
before he was fired on, saw the flash
of the murderer’s pistol, and rushed to
the aid of the special officer, but was
unable to catch the man.
A squad of detectives rushed to the
scene and placed J. G. Hicks, of 17
Auburn avenue, another special officer
for the same railroad under arrest, and
he will be held pending a further in
vestigation.
According to witnesses found by the
detectives, Lane, Hicks and two other
men were in a signal house near the
scene of the tragedy during the even
ing. Hicks left to walk around
string of box cars, and later he was
followed by Lane who went directly to
talk to Patrolman Barton.
According to the witnesses Hicks
would have had just time enough to
round the box cars and reach the point
where Lane fell at the time the shot
rang out.
After the shooting, they say, Hicks
didn’t show up for about ten minutes
although the shot was heard for blocks
around and people came running from
many directions.
Hicks’ general description fits that
f the man he saw in the darkness near
the box car, Officer Barton says.
The detectives say they have found a
motive, which might have prompted the
;vime, but refused to say what the al
leged motive is. Hicks’ revolver did
iot appear to have been fired, but the
detectives say it had been freshly
greased.
Hicks declares most positively that
here was no enmity between himself
nd the dead man and says he can’t
ni’erstand why the detectives arrested
him. He was at. the end of the string
of box cars, he says, when he heard a
shot and he remained there probably
five minutes or more, silently on guard,
expecting the man who fired, to run that
way. When no one appeared he walked
on toward Thurmond street and found
the crowd.
Hicks, who is one-armed, states he
had b.een on duty in the yards for years,
and that Lame was transferred to that
station about two months ago. He first:
met Lane then.
NEGRO SHOOTS ANOTHER
IN A FIT OF JEALOUS?
Cicero Cade Turned Shotgun on Sam
Taylor, Peppering Him.
Saturday night Cicero Cade, a negro,
in a jealous rage, shot Sam Taylor,
another negro, according to allegations
made by those who witnessed the diffi
culty. ,
The weapon used was a shotgun, and
was brought into play, it is alleged,
when Taylor refused to listen to Cade’s
request that he “leave his girl

BUSINESS SECURITY.
Stagnation In All Countries, Rot
Tn«iring Tills Security*
One of the most important
questions of the day relates to
the extent to which a govern
ment should interfere in the af
fairs of business. The success
ful man has always had to run
the risk of attack. Safety from
unreasonable interference t>y
government or attack by others
leads the ambitious man on to
his greatest exertions. In some
countries, as in parts of A 3 *-*
government rapacity has made
it dangerous for a man to ac
quire anything beyond his Dare
necessities. In such a
nothing but poverty and busi
ness stagnation can exist, ft
w Governmental intervention in
the affairs of business should
extend only over such things as
are necessary for fair publicity
and truthful statements. Under
such a government, business se
curity is at its best. Individual
ity and initiative are encour
aged; the country is progress!*-.
and its future prosperity is ven
guarded. But as soon as legis-
lation begins to deprive the pro
ducer of a square deal, or wn ® I " e
business is "regulated” by
pie without the experience ana
necessary training, busings se
curity will be transformed int
business depression. A govern
ment should be limited to it
natural functions of just on
reasonable legislation » r “J
greatest good of the
number of people, and shoui
never show favors in oraer „‘
"catch votes” • or to secure cam
palgn contributions.
