the throttle with a negro fireman. Con
ductor Weber was in charge of the train
and Trainmaster H. M. Dudley, of Bir

screaming at the top of their voices and
the passengers became panic stricken. It
was several minutes before the wrecked
cars and engine landed and then moans
of the dying and mangled rent the air.
Those of the train crew, who escaped
injury, immediately sent word to the first
telegraph station to the office of the sup
erintendent. Then the work of rescuing
began. The message which went to the
office in this city was very meager. It
stated that the engine ar... six coaches of
’ the excursion train had been wrecked.

quarters at Birmingham, was reported in
stantly killed.

scalded, as was also his negro fireman.

least 25 dead men. women and children,
while no less than 25 were more or less
hurt, many fatally.

BUDOf HEALTH
A YOUNG WOMAN AND HER ENVI-
ABLE COMPLEXION.
Some Sensible Hints on How to Pro-
cure a Good, Natural Color May Be
Gained From Her Experience.
A good complexion depends upon good
health. An enviable woman in this re
spect is Mrs. Ella Chapin, of Claremont.
N. H., who says:
•'From long and constant caring for my
sick mother my system became all run
down and. in the fall of 1897. I realized
that I was in a very poor state of health.
I was nervous and my blood was thin and
poor. I had dizzy spells and severe head
aches. had no appetite and became so
weak that I was unable do anything.
The slightest exertion made me shor| of
breath and faint.
"This state of affairs continued for a
year and I grew constanly worse. My un
cle heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People at Springfield, and was told
of some remarkable cures they had ac
complished, so he got me a supply. I be
gan taking them and In less than two
weeks I could see a change for the better.
I continued their use and in a sort time
was cured."
Mrs. Chapin suffered from anaemia, a
disease caused by an actual deficiency of
the blood and a watery and depraved state
of that fluid. It Is characterized by a
pallid pale lips, dull eyes,
tongue and gums bloodness; shortness of ,
breath upon slight exertion—especially
upon going up stairs; palpitation of the
heart, feeling of Impending death, weak
ness loss of appetite and ambition. If
left to Itself it is apt to result In decline
and death. _ .
The one remedy that has proved itself
a specific for this disease is Dr. Williams-
Pink Pills for Pale People. These pills,
taken in increasing doses, will never fall
to effect a cure if used persistently for
a reasonable length of time.

OF COUNTY OFFICERS.
OPELIKA, Ala., Sept. I.—The white Re
publicans of this county held two meet

der the new constitution in this county.
One of the meetings was held in the morn

claims that the mass meeting that elected
him was a representative one and that

PAINE’S CELERY

Nflture’s Summer Medicine,
The One Great Health Builder.
Paine's Celery Compound supplies the
needs of the weak, sickly, and diseased in
away that no other medicine can do. It
never falls to brace and strengthen the
weakened nerves; It forms new tissue,
and quickly purifies the foul and stagnant
blood, allowing It to course with freedom
and life to every part of the body. Paine's
Celery Compound is the great furnisher
of nutriment for the weak and rundown
nervous system.
The use of a few bottles of Paine's Cel
ery Compound produces results that are
most astonishing and happy to the sick.
The thin, emaciated body soon takes on
solid flesh, the skin is clear, the eyes
bright and sparkling, pain in the back is
banished, the liver and kidneys work
healthily, the digestive organs do duty
with unfailing regularity, feelings of new
energy and well being take the place of
(nervousness, despondency, and melan
cholia.
Nourishing the nerves, the formation of
fresh tissue, and cleansing of the blood by
Paine's Celery Compound, means a new,
vigorous, and happy life. There can be
no failures when Paine’s Celery Com
pound Is used; It truly “makes sick peo
ple well."
•■STOP GAMBLING; ~
INDICT TRUSTS,"
CHARGE OF JUDGE LUMPKIN TO
FULTON COUNTY GRAND JURY
WAS A NOTABLE ONE.
Tn a notable charge to the grand jury of
Fulton county Judge J. H. Lumpkin
Monday brought forward two features,
admonishing the grand jury to take espe
cial cognizance of gambling and also of
such combinations as tended to increase
the natural price of the necessities of life.
The “gentleman’s game” came in for a
heavy scoring, the judge being particular
ly drastic in his charge against all degrees
and kinds of gaming, while the trusts like
wise received a severe denunciation. The
court room was crowded during the deliv
ery of the charge.
In that part of his charge dealing with
gambling, the court said:
“The law knows no differepce in gaming
and gambling. The small game with
friends comes equally under the law.
“Would you feel easy If you saw your
bookkeeper or cashier gamble, either in a
small game or in a large one? I charge
you, put yourselves In the place of the
man who sees this. Would you feel easy
to see your own funds tampered with by a
young man In your employ?
“Just so long as a man gambles himself,
he may preach until doefcnsday, until age
withers him, but just 4s long as he sets
an example to younger men, just so long
he may expect his cashier and his clerk
to gamble, just so long he may expect his
son to gamble.
“I say this not only to the grand jury,
but to the community at large, to the
business men of this city who should be
stamping out this vice, not only by pre
cept, but by example. As long as we have
gambling, so long may we look for de
falcation, stealing, escape—perhaps sui
cide, for this is the end of the road of
gambling.
"The law does not paean t 0 gaming,
but to stamp it out, to wipe it out, to erad
icate it!”
Scores the Trusts.
Judge Lumpkin went on to score the
trusts and the market cornerers, and to
admonish the grand Jury to see to it that
the people of Fulton county are not op
pressed in this direction.
He began by defining offenses against
the common law of the state in this re
gard as any Illegal Interference with the
markets and with tho natural and fair
prices of the necessaries of life.
“I do not know," said the judge, "of any
indictment ever returned by a grand jury
of this county on this score, although they
have been charged in this respect before.”
He said the act of 1896 to prevent such
combination had fallen through on ac
count of its seeking to excuse certain
classes of combination, yet, he added, if
the newspaper reports of the times are
true, we might be said to be in the hands
of combinations that control. the cradle
and control the coffin, so that from the
cradle to the grave the American people
are to an extent dominated by these con
spiracies.
“And although," he went on, “we have
no legislation in Georgia sufficiently broad
to cover the matter, still the people are
not entirely at the mercy of those who
would advance the price of the necessa
ries of life. There is still law enough to
prevent this.”
After explaining the principles of, com
mon law on the subject, he continued:
“It is a criminal act to corner the mar
ket on wheat, for instance, in this state.
■lt Is not fair and legitimate trade to so
manipulate the market as to force upon
the people an unnatural price for any of
the necessaries of life. Remember, such
an act is equally criminal whether it is
done by a citizen of this or of another
state.
“This part of the law has fallen out of
view, but If the press reports of the day
are true it is time that this almost for
gotten principle should be remembered
and put Into practice.
“You cannot deal with the whole coun
try, gentlemen, but you can see to it that
the criminal laws of th«s state are not
thus violated In Fulton county.”

RAILROAD COMMISSION"
FIGHT IN ALABAMA
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 2.—While
the hot gubernatorial contest has cleared
up and politics is quieting on that score,
there is one issue that is white hot at the
bottom. That issue concerns the election,
by direct vote of the people, of the rail
road commission which has heretofore
been appointed by the governor.
The issue was fought to a finish in Jef
ferson county, the great railroad center of
the state. It was in the home of the
chairman of the campaign committee that
was pushing the issue for the people.
Capt. F. S. White, the chairman of the
committee, organized his forces compactly
and won out by a handsome majority.
Capt. J. M. Falkner, the district attorney
for the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
went into Jefferson county in person and
Jed the opposition to Capt. White.
When seen by your representative Capt.
White said:
“There will be no let up in the fight. We
propose to make Alabama soil too hot for
a free pass rider to stand on it. Nor will
we stop till we give the people a chance to
vote direct for the railroad commission of
Alabama. We have pledges from many of
the hold over Senators, and with the new
ones for us we have a nice working ma
jority In the senate and we have elected
a majority of the members of the house.
We are well satisfied.”
Mr. George W. Jones, who Is Falkner's
co-worker, says:
“We have made the fight and are thor
oughly satisfied with every member of
the legislature. We believe them to be
fair men.”

verification of the rumors, but many peo
ple hereabouts are inclined to believe they
are true.
It is also rumored hereabouts that the
Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company
and the Alabama Steel and Wire company
may effect a consolidation of some sort.
Both companies are in a prosperous con
dition. The presidents of the two com
panies are now io New York.

A SPLENDID OUTLOOK
FOR STATE UNIVERSITY
ATHENS, Ga„ Sept. I.—The one hundred
and second session of the University of
Georgia begins September 17. Judging
from the large number of requests for
catalogues and the unprecedented demand
for rooms In the dormitories, there will
be a material Increase in the number of
students enrolled.
Although the attendance in the academ
ic department last year was larger than
ever before, it was the transitional year
from the one year to the two years' law
course and the loss in that department
reduced the total attendance to a some
what smaller number than during the ses
sion 1900-01. The law school this year will
have at least the normal enrollment if
not more, as there will be some twenty
five men in the second year's class and it
is reasonable to suppose that there will
not be a smaller number in the first year’s
class than last year.
The advance steps that have been taken
In the school of agriculture will tend to
attract students to this important part
of university work, it has been the ex
perience of all the states that students
are not drawn to the full four years
course In agriculture, and for this reason
there has been established at the universi
ty a one year course, giving the cream of
the full course.
The practical value of the agricultural
department has been greatly Increased by
the equipment of a substantial building
on the campus, and by the setting apart
of ten acres of land adjacent to the agri
cultural hall, where farming on the in
tensive scale will be practiced by the
students.
In addition to the one year course, a
winter school in agriculture will also be
conducted. This school was a decided
success last year, the young men who at
tended expressing themselves as highly
pleased with the work done. Leading
agriculturists of the state. Including Col
onel R. J. Redding, Hon. Harvie Jordan,
Hon. Dudly M. Hughes and others, lec
tured the class 6n agricultural subjects
The lectures were highly instructive and
interesting and a similar course of lec
tures will be had this winter.
As has already been stated, the outlook
for a large attendance is very favorable
and it is confidently expected the enroll
ment will reach near the 400 mark.

WINS AT TAMPA
TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 3.—The largest
marble contract ever given in the south
has been awarded to the Blue Ridge
Marble company, of Nelson, Ga.
It was a notable victory for Georgia
marble after a sharp contest with the
largest Vermont marble company.
The United States government building,
to be erected at this port at a cost of
3300,000 will be built mainly of marble,
and postoffice purposes.
Georgia marble won a distinct victory
in this competition as it did in the bidding
for the new department of justice build
ing at Washington. Under the govern
ment’s tests, which were unusually se
vere, Georgia marble was found to be
clearly superior to the Vermont article.
The competition for the Tampa contract
was all the more spirited because of the
preference frequently given to Georgia
marble recently by the federal govern
ment and the contractors of other public
buildings.
It will require more than 200 carloads of
marble for the government building at
Tampa, and the fact that Georgia must
supply them will increase still further the
fame of the marble of that state.

TURKS SQUIRM
ATGONSUL’S
DEMAND
PORTE IS MAKING EVERY POfr
SIBLE EFFORT TO ESCAPE
STONE BRIGANDAGE QUES
TION.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sunday, Aug. 31.
—The report circulated in the United
States by a news agency ,that the Turk
ish government had addressed an abrupt
note to U. S. Minister Leishman saying
that it was absolutely refused to further
discuss the responsibility of the capture
by brigands of Miss Ellen M. Stone, thfe
American missionary, and a companion in
September. 1901, as the capture was not
committed on Turkish territory, la not
true.
As a matter of fact, the question of the
porte’s responsibility is indisputable since
the capture, payment of a ransom and
liberation of the captives all occurred on
Turkish territory.
The correspondence on the subject on
the measures taken for the delivery and
arrest of the brigands continues and the
insufficiency of the efforts displayed by
the Turkish authorities has been the sub
ject of complaint by the United States le
gation. ‘ .
The porte is following Its usual course
of trvlng by every means to evade the
demands of the legation for the capture
and punishment of the guilty persona,
alleging amopg other reasons that the
captives when released did not furnish
sufficient Information to enable the au
thorities to find the brigands.
The paragraphers have evened up mat
ters between the two national parties. To
offset "Grim Jlggs” they have Invented
“Boe Jabcock.” 1
