up. but they preferred not to talk
about the case until they had seen
their lawyers.
Charlie Sweat, who conduct* the
lunch counter In the pool room where
the fight occurred, waa an eye wit
ness to the fight. He said It waa
about seven o'clock Friday night
while Babe Simmons and Jim Young
were playing pool, that they got in
to a dispute about the game. During
the quarrel Jim. who seemed to be
drinking pretty heavy, called Babe
some very ugly names. Then hei
picked up some billiard halls and I
hurled them at him. but Simmons
dodged the balls. Young then start-
od around the table after J&abe. I
Henry Simmons, Babe’s brother,)
when he saw Young start around the
table after his brother, struck Young
on the side of the head with a Wi
llard cue. knocking him down,
ter Young was down Henry struck
him twice on the head with the cue.
Babe Simmons also threw a ball at
Young while he was down, but he
did not know if the ball struck
Young.
Babe and Henry then both ran ont
of the building. Policeman Presley
appeared on the scene about this
time. Young was still lying on the
floor and unconscious, according to
Sweat's statement. The policeman,
with the assistance of Wesley
Scruggs, carried Young to the city
hall, where he was locked tip.
Young remained In the city pris
on during the remainder of the night
and was carried home next morning.
He was attended by physicians, but
kept, growing worse until he died
this morning.
Young was a rather noted charac
ter about the city. He was fined
$750 In the city court a few months
ago for selling whiskey, and paid the
fine.
Henry Simmons for some time has
been working at the Ice plant. Babe
Simmons Is a barber and has been
working In the barber shop on Ash
ley street.
They will both probably bo tried
during the term of the superior court
here In November.

DOWNWARD COUR8E.
Fait Being Realized by the People
of Valdosta.
A little backache at first
Dally Increasing till the back is
lame and weak.
Urinary disorders quickly follow;
Diabetes and finally Bright's
sease.
This ls the downward course of
kidney Ills.
Don’t take this course. Follow the
advice of a Valdosta citizen.
Mrs. C. I. Shelton, 500 N. Ashley
St., Valdosta. Ga., says: "We have
used Doan’s Kidney Pills In our fam
ily with such good results that I am
pleased to recommend them for the
purposes for which their use ls In
tended. As a remedy for backaches
or any weakness of the kidneys, they
are unequalled and should be given
a trial by anyone having those
troubles. Doan's Kidney Pills can
bo procured at Dlmmock's Pharma
cy.”
Remember the name—DoRn’s—and
take no other.
BOUT the best thing in this world is a good “aim,”
whether one is buying clothes or selling clothes; or
‘doing anything else
We’ve long a?o reached the goal of our “aims” by sell
ing the right kind of merchandise We’re going to keep
our place in the lead by continuing to sell this kind and give
the values which can’t be m .tched elsewhere.
Just now we're shoving Young Men's clothes In the newest and smartest
Fall styles and Young Men ar ■ recognizing them to be ths most exclusive, ap
proprlate and satisfactory garments they’ve ever owned.
SSATERIALS are the finest long f.eece woolens. In handsomest tints of brown,
1 ”*tan, smoke, gray, blue and black, in plain colors, stripes and combination
weaves. The dash of the most scrumptious tailoring shows in the young men’s
styles without giving the wearer a "loud" appearance; there's a freshness about
the suits that gives dignity without a too somber tone The smallest detail of
making has received as much careful attention as the greatest—nothing has been
slighted that would add to the orth of thi suits offered In this great showing.
They’re clothes that meet every requirement.
$7.50 to $35.00.

DR. BEAUCHAMP'S FORECAST.
EDITOR TIMES:
I was horn In 1834 and have voted
In every Presidential election since
1858. There has never been elected
since 1S5C a president who didn’t car
ry New York and Indiana.
I have been figuring for the pas
two weeks on the present campaign,
and It seems to me that Taft has
certain 216 votes, Bryan 313. with
54 doubtful. There are a total of
4SS votes In the electoral college,
and It takes 242 votes to elect
The speeches being made by Gov
Hoke Smith and other able Demo
crats In the doubtful states I believe
give Bryan a respectable showing.
The election will he held Tuesday
Nov. :lrd, and we’ll soon know
"whose calf It ls.”

NEGRO SHOT DEAD
AT OLYMPIA.
Usury Williams Killed by toy
Mr*. H. W. Heath, ha* returned to
her home at Brandon, Fla., after
spending some time here with her
mother, Mrs. J. W. Roberts.
(From Tuesday's Dally.)
The high sheriff waa notified this
morning that there had been a kill-
ing scrape at Olympia and was re
quested to send an officer after the
negro who did the killing, he being
under arreat.
No particular* of the tragedy wer»
given and Sheriff Passmore sent Dep
uty Sheriff Lewis after the prisoner.
The deputy Is expected to return to
the city this afternoon.
In a talk over the .’phone, It was
learned that the man who was killed
was named Henry Buford and that
his slayer was Henry Williams. It 1*
said that there were several eye-wit
nesses to the tragedy, which occur
red near the negro quarters on the
railroad track.
It was said that there was a wo
man in the case—as usual in affrays
among negroes. Williams, it ls said,
shot Buford four times, Buford fall
ing on the railroad track. Williams
walked up close to him and fired
three more shots, leaving the body
on the track.
The negroes who saw the tragedy
decided to leave the body alone un
til an officer of the law could be no
tified. In the meantime a train on
the Georgia and Florida road came
thundering along and ran over the
body, mangling It
Parties at Olympia seemed reticent
about talking of the affair and It was
hard for The Time* to get even
meager information about it.
IMMEDIATE RELIEF.
From Coughs, Colds, Sore Throats
and Hoarseness, by Using Hyomei.
When you catch cold you want to
get rid of It as quickly as you can.
You don’t want to lie around the
house for a week swallowing nause
ating drugs. You know when you do
thlssthat you are not only making
you own life miserable, but are a
nuslance to everyone about you.
Why not avoid all of this? Why
not relieve your cold In five minutes?
Why not cure It over night? You can
do it by using Hyomei. the sure and
guaranteed cure for colds, coughs
sore throat, catarrh, bronchitis and
asthma.
Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) Is
medicated and antiseptic air. You
breathe It Into the lungs through a
small pocket Inhaler, and Its sooth
ing influence as It passes over the
inflamed membranes of the respira
tory tract, stops the raucous dis
charge, allays the Inflammation and
the cold is cured. A complete Hy
omei outfit costs $1.00, and A. E. Dim-
mock will refund your money If It
falls to cure.
