Savannah Riflemen Will
not Attend Atlanta Shoot
THE RIFLEMEN .OP THE COAST
TOWN ARE NOT PLEASED BE
CAUSE THE STATE SHOOT IS
TO BE HELD IN ATLANTA.
Savannah, Ga., July 29.—It la
not conaidared probable tbat any of
tho riflemen of SaTannah will go to
Atlanta to attend the state shoot
on the range there for the purpose
of qualifying for the state team at
Camp Perry, O.
The riflemen of Savannah are not
In a particularly good humor over
the fact that the state shoot was
ordered in Atlanta lnatead'of Savan
nah. It Is claimed that the mili
tary men of Atlanta were promised
that the Btate shoot would hi held
<n Rose Dhu range near Savannah,
8nd the city and county went to
considerable expense on this under
standing to put the rango in reach
of the riflemen by building new
roads and bridges. Now that tho
shoot has been ordered elsewhere
the military men do not think they
.have been given exactly the square
deal. Those officers who have been
ordred to the Atlanta range to act
In different capacities will probably
go, but there will be few lf any of
the men to go for the purpose of
qualifying.
Will Build a Now Factory.
' Messrs. LeRoy Myers & Co. today
called for bids for the erection of a
handsome and modern four-story
Cigar factory on the corner of Ah-
orforn and Bryan streetB. The fac
tory plans call for the erection of a
plant that will turn ou,t 6,0001000
Cigars a year. It will be the biggest
plant of its kind- in the state and
v/111 give employment to a large
r umber of operatives. The plans
for the structure show that it is to
be modern in every respect and the
building will cost about 225,000.

Hon. J. Ferris Cann, a prominent
attorney and an ex-member of the
Georgia legislature, has returned
home after spending a few days in
Atlanta. Mj. Cann .Is convinced
that Hon. Joseph M. Brown Is going
to run for governor. He says the
pressure is going to he so great on
the ex-governor that he will be
obliged to make the race. He thinks
the contest will be largely between
Joe Brown and Judge Russell, lf
the latter stays In the race to the
end.
Georgia Hussars Back From Camp,
The Georgia. Hussars, who have
been In camp at Rose Dhu for
week, returned to the city this
morning. They report a most pleas-
rnt and profitable week on the
range. Their work In the rifle pits
was exceedingly good. The troop
contest took place on the range yes
terday afternoon and attraated con
siderable attention.
Experts Still at Work.
The experts brought here by the
city of Savannah for the purpose of
considering conditions on the Sa
vannah Electric Company’s line are
spending much time on the suburban
lines of the company. They were
on the Isle of Hope and Montgom
ery lino almost exclusively yesterday
and today. The hearing Is sched
uled for the 8th of August and all
hands concerned are getting ready
for it. It promises to be a hard
fought battle from the first drop of
the hat. •
TAFT WILL-

Most Emphatically that
he Will Veto the

Washington, D. C., July 29.—
All doubts aa to the coarse of Preei-
dent Taft regarding wool rovlalon,
should It come to him, was removed

■ The absolute and unqualified state,
ment waa made by those who saw

One senator strictly In the Presi
dent's confidence, upon leaylng the
White House, said "What la the
President going to do with the wool?
You esn bet your life he la going to

publican Glories in the
Georgian’s Spunk
Atlanta, Ga., July 29.—The fol-
lowing rather gushy allusion to
Hoke Smith’s atttude toward Sen
ator LaFollette who, it happens,
was repudiated by the Democratic
chairman, Mr. Underwood, yester
day, was sent out from Atlanta by
news agency which stands close
to Hoke Smith:
The idea that LaFollette and
Hoke Smith will be powerfully al
lied working together for certain
measures and principles adrocated
aliko by the progressive Democrats
and Insurgent Republicans
strengthened here by the reported
interview in which Senator LaFol
lette commends Governor Smith for
nig course in not letting him be
forced to Washington at this mo
ment, when he was not needed.
The fact that there is no ques
tion involved of Hoke Smith or any
other Democrat going over to Re
publican principles, but rather of
the Republican insurgents lending
their aid to measures which are
founded on Democratic principles,
causes Georgia Democrats to view
as most fortunate the probability
that LaFollette and Smith will be
gin their personal acquaintanceship
at Washington under most friendly
auspices.
“The two men have known and
admired each other for years.”

A GREAT TONIC
AND BLOOD PURIFIER
There is one reason above all others which makes S. S. S. the
greatest of all tonics, and that is because it is the most perfect of all
blood purifiers. Any system which needs a tonic, nedds a blood puri
fier, for it is impure blood which causes the weakened, run-down
condition of the body. S.S.S. is made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, which possess not only strengthening properties, but at the
same.time are recognized as Ingredients of the greatest value for
removing every impurity, poison or taint from the circulation. S.S.S.
improves the appetite and digestion, corrects stomach disturbances
and steadily tones and builds the system up to perfect health. It
adds to the blood the rich, healthful properties it needs, and in every
way enables the system to stand the strain of the long, hot summer.
S. 5. S. cures all discuses and disorders arising from wesk or impure
blood. Book on the blood and medical advice free. S. S. S. is for sale
at drug stores. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO, ATLANTA, GA.
