2 TWO RECEIVERS APPOINTED. FOR SOUTHERN HOME BUILDING AVI) LOAN ASSOCIATION. Institution in Allnnta Which Oi<l Builnrs* All the Way From Tno to Virginia Receivership Was A.rnutcd ill the l nIM States Cir cnll Court by .Inilisr Pardee —The Amount Involved 1 a in the -Nelgh liorliooil of *1,000.000. Atlanta, April 4.—Judge Don A. Pardee, of the United States Circuit Court has ap pointed Judge John T. Pendleton and Wil liam H. Henderson receivers of the South ern Home Building and Loan Association of Atlanta. The answer of the defendant associa tion which was filed at the same time as the bill, admits the allegations of the plaintiff and states that the association cannot longer continue a profitable busi ness and to further continue would lie to the disadvantage of the shareholders. The complainants in the bill are: Mrs. M. C. Alexander, a resident of Tennessee, and owner of thirty-two shares of the as sociation stock, with a value of $3,200; W. S. Bradley of Virginia, owner of ten shares stock, valued at $650, and A, T. Spalding of Texas, owner of two shares, valued at S2OO. The principal cause of the liquidation of the affairs of the corporation as stated in the bill is excessive taxes, state, coun ty and municipal, which, according to re cent Supreme Court decisions, have been assessed against the company, and the numerous other decisions ln*>ther stares than Georgia, which affect the business of the concern, especially in Ihe way of loans, many of which are adjudged us urious. . The proceedings were taken by mutual consent lo end litigation, which has been proceeding for some time, and it is ex pected the receivers will close up the af fairs of the concern at once. The amount Involved is believed to be in the neighbor hood of $1,000,000. The company has many shareholders in Ihe Southern states and its loans and other transactions extend from Texas to Vir ginia. The closing of the affairs of the company will affect vast interests In some locali ties. The bill which has been filed will he followed by others In the states where the association operated and is likely that the court, as soon as- the receivers begin work, will appoint co-receivers for each of the states where the corporation has assets. The principal clause of the liquida tion is the excessive taxes, state, county and municipal, which, according to recent Supreme Court decisions, have been as- Eessed against the company. DEATH OF MR. W. B. DO WE. Wat the hast of the Former State Convict Lessees. Atlanta, April 4.—Mr. W. B. Lowe died In this city this afternoon. He was the last of the original lessees of the state convicts under the twenty-year lease that expired with the inauguration of the pres ent convict system. Among the other lessees were the late Gov. Brown, Ben Lockett and others, all of whom are now dead. The lessees then contracted to take all the convicts, many or few, for $25,000 per year. During the first year of the lease the lessees had only about 450 convicts, but it was nearly 2,000 during the last year. Under the old lease the state re ceived $9 per head per year for her con victs, while under the present manage ment she gets SIOO per head. Mr. Lowe was perhaps personally known to almost every legislator during the ten ure of the twenty years' lease, as he was quite often put upon the rack for some Infraction of the rules governing the keeping of the convicts or permitting his subordinates to make these infractions. During Gov. Gordon’s administraUon the lessees were fined each $5,000 forpermit ting cruelties by guards' to the convicts. Mr. Lowe is regarded as a very wealthy man.

Second Time on Earth No Boils Nor Carbuncles Now —B, Cood Blood Medicine. “ I became convinced of the merit of Hood’s Sarsaparilla when I took it myself as a blood purifier. So, when my husband had boils and carbuncles I urged him to take Hood’s and the re sult was that when he had used hut one bottle the boils had nearly all dis appeared. He continued the use of the medicine and after taking two bottles he was completely cured, and, as he expressed it. felt as if he was on earth for the second time. He has •never had any boils since. We take Hood’s as a spring medicine and gladly recommend it.” Mrs. A. E. Staysa, Yonkers, N. Y.

Medicines failed to do me any good until I began taking Hood's Sarsa parilla. Today 1 have excellent health and my eyes give me very little trouble. I owe it all to Hood’s, which I recommend to all suffering from any disease of the blood.” Miss Kettil McGuire, Silver Creek, Ky.

Du hi in Newn. Dublin, Ga., April 4.—At a meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee yesterday it was decided that as there W’ere no funds available for holding a primary on May 15 for State House offi cers, etc., that a mass meeting on that day be held instead. It was also de cided not to nominate county officers be fore July 1, the manner of nominating them and the exact time <o be decided May 15. The decision of committee to postpone action wan to enable the peo ple to get on to the plans of the Popu lists. This was formerly a Populist county, but two years ago the Democrats captured every offie*' except that of or dinary and County Commissioner, which held over. It was thought for a while that no opposition this year would come from the Populist party, but later de velopments show that another fight W'ill be had along the same old lines. Rev. J. T. Smith, a prominent Baptist divine and educator, was yesterday elected county school commissioner to fill the unexpired term of Col. W. S. Ramsay, deceased. Mr. Smith was opposed by Rev. George C. Thompson, a supernumerary in the South Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Thompson was picked as a winner because of the fact that one of the members of the board was his brother-in-law, but Mr. Smith had his political forces better marshaled. Messrs. R. H. Walker and Thomas R. Ramsey were spoken of for the place, but decided at the last moment not to stand the examination. Last night Mr. A. P. Hilton, one of the editors of the 11 Dublin Courier-Dispatch, was elected a member of the Board of Education to fill the vacancy caused by the deah of Col. W. S. Ramsay. Mr. Hilton is a graduate of Emory College and is in every way qualified for the position. His election was unanimous, wdiich at tests his popularity. FLORIDA FARMERS* INSTITUTE*.

"Nowadays the word ‘Rheumatism’ is used to cover a multitude of diseases. They are all allied by the common bond of what the phy sicians call ‘uric acid poisoning’—an excess of uric acid In the blood, and are. generally speaking,, ‘kidney troubles’—with the real cause of danger not so much in the aches and pains—the signals of distress given out by the muscles and joints—as in the gradual vitiation of the blood by the failure of the kidneys to eliminate the deadly poison called ‘uric acid,’ from the ‘physical economy.* This vitiation of the blood resubs in ‘rheumatism’ (although it is a vague word) and a variety of symp ms which not infrequently end in what is called Bright’s disease—the dis ease of which James G. Blaine, Mr. Cleveland’s great political rival, died. It is the disease which medical authorities say is becoming m re and more alarmingly prevalent in the United States of America, espec ially among the thinking, planning and writing classes—the classes made up of the kind of men that it is the fashion to call distinctively ‘brainy men.’ ” From the rending of intelligently edited paper*, and from examina tion* for life insurance, the great public I* rapidly learning the fact that the human nystem become* thoroughly poisoned when tlie kidney* fail to do the work nature intended them to do, and that if not speedily cured, rheumatism, heart dist'nse, Bright’* disease, and death *iircly follow.
