April 2.—The United States government has decided to rec ognize the new Chinese republic.

Whether it will be presented before the meeting of the constituent assembly next Tuesday or is Intended to reach •the Chinese government on that date has not been disclosed, but the mere presentation of the note to the Chinese minister and the resumption of former international relations with the Chinese minister are regarded in diplomatic cir cles as tantamount to recognition. The United States government is anx ious tcxshow its friendliness toward the ChfneseJ and while there have been rumors that other nations might antici pate the action of this country and recognize China before the United States, in official circles here it was be lieved that the United States would be found first to show its faith in the new republic. No formal announcement is expected from the administration here until the Chinese government is in receipt of the American government’s note.

FLY TO PIECES The Effect of Coffee on High ly Organized People “I have been a coffee user for y^ars, ind about two years ago got into a very leriOus condition of dyspepsia and in- tigestion. It seemed to me I would, ly to pieces. I was so nervous that at ;he least noise I was distressed, and p^ny times could not straighten myself ip because of the pain.” Tea is just as injurious, because it Contains caffeine, the same drug found « coffee. "My physician told me I must not eat my heavy or strong food and ordered a tiet, giving me some medicine. I fol- owed directions carefully, but ^.kept on ising coffee and did not get any better. "Last winter my husband, who was iway on business, had Postum served o him in the family where he boarded, le liked it so well that when he iame home he brought some with him. Ve began using it and I found it most Dcoellent. "While I drank it my stomach never lothered me in the least, and I got »ver my nervous troubles. When the >ostum was gone we returned to cof fee, then my stomach began to hurt me ls before and the nervous conditions ame on again. •’That showed me exactly what was he cause of the whole trouble, so I quit Irinking coffee altogether and kept on ising Postum. The old troubles left gain and have never returned.” "There’s a reason," and it Is explained n the little book, "The Road to Well- r ille,” in pkgs. Ever read the above letter?

Bride and Groom In Bathing Suits Have Novel Wedding WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., April 1.— A romance of the sea, having its incep tion some two weeks ago, when the^par ties met for the first time in the water of the bathing beach, had its culmina tion today in a most original and novel manner when Miss Linda Lund and Mr. Frederick Kirchner were united in the bonds of matrimony. The bride was dressed in a handsome silk bathing costume. In her hair were arranged orange blossoms, a large bou quet of which she carried in her hands. The groom was likewise dressed in his bathing suit. The minister wore the or dinary clerical costume. At the appropriate moment the groom produced from a mysterious recess of his costume the wedding ring. The minis ter concluded the ceremony with plating the ring on the trembling finger of the bride, which was the signal for a mighty cheer by the crowd.

CHIPLEY, Ga., April 1.—A $100,000 corporation has ben incorporated here for the purpose of engaging in live stock and seed farming in Meriwether county on quite an extensive scale, with the following officers: Charles K. Stout, publisher of the Hamilton Journal, pres ident; John C. Knight, vice president, and Stuart M. Stout, secretary and treasurer, all well known business men. Appreciating the wonderful possibil ities of live stock and seed farming on a large scale in Meriwether county, Mr. Stuart M. Stout, recently aqulred the Stout farms and has several other near by properties under option. He is now preparing to put his plans into execu tion. y The stock of the company is be ing rapidly subscribed by both local and distant investors, who see the won derful possibilities of such an enter prise An oat crop is now growing upon the farm and a corn crop is soon to be planted. Mr. Stout intends growing all the feed required for feeding the live stock upon the farm instead of buying feed from the various markets, as many of our fayners are in the habit of do ing. He says that the waste resulting from growing the seed crops will be fed upon the farm, thus converting what has heretofore been thrown away or sold at a loss into profit. In additio nto operation of the seed and live stock business the company will specialize in breeding poultry of the highest grade. The company will be a co-operative organiaztion, the stockholders, in addi tion to participating' in the profits of the undertaking, are to be given a spe cial discount upon any products of the farm. Mr. Stout’s ” ideas about the scheme are extremely rosy and he has no doubt of the feasibility of the scheme or its popularity. MAN SHOOTS WOMAN WHO ACCUSES HIS SON (By Associated Press.)

Legare, who was elected six times consecu tively. Five candidates are in the contest: Edward TV. Hughes, Richard S. Whaley and George F. Von Kolnitz, of Charles ton, and John H. Peurifoy and James G. Padgett, of Walterboro. It is most probable that a second pri mary, on April 15, will be necessary to nomination, the highest two in today's election standing against. The weather 13 ideal and a large vote is being polled. OED FIDDLERS POT MUSIC INTO FEET DF AUDIENCE Opening Program of Unique Convention at Auditorium Proves a Winner If there was man or woman in the au ditorium Tuesday sight, during the open ing program of the Old Fiddlers’ conven tion, who did not pat his or her feet in time to the music, he or she was paral yzed, and couldn’t. That’s all there is to it. No human could hear what they heard, and keep both feet still. From the time when Prof. P. D. Lud wig, of Cobb county, with deliberation and most seriously, charmed “Negro in the Woodpile” from his fiddle, along about second or third on the program, the Old Fiddlers’ convention was con vened in good earnest. After that mo ment the fiddlers held their audience mo- the heart-strings. There was nothing hurried or nervous about Prof. Ludwig’s rendition of “Negro in the Woodpile.” If ever musician kept perfect time, he kept it with his fiddle and his bow. It would have made a wooden man pat. “Straw-beating” was introduced to many for the first time, Tuesday night. Cliff Singley, with a pair of long straws, beat the time of several pieces upon the strings of the fiddler’s instrument, the ef fect being somewhat like that of a ban jo accompaniment. It proved to be an irresistible combination for anybody who could “shake a foot.” Shortly after the “straw-beating” was started, an epidem ic of dancing broke out. “We’re getting farther and farther back into the woods every minute,” one man in the audience remarked. “You know, there’s bound to be some thing to fiddling when it can make old men young again like that,” said this interpreter, when one of the white-whis kered contestants was scraping and crooning. A VITAL DIFFERENCE. “The difference between a fiddler and a violinist,” said this same authority, “is that a violinist stands up, but a fid dler’s just got to sit down so he can pat his feet—or he couldn’t play.” Some of the fiddlers held their instruments under their chins, but the majority of them held them against their wishbone or any where else. Bob eYoung, from Walton county, with the long dark hair of an artistic tem perament and with a white mustache, brought his fiddle in a flour sack, just as a fiddle should be carried. As a consequence, he was a favorite from the Start, among many, as one of the "real originals.” "I bet that man could take that fid dle and ’still corn out of it,” ventured one of the initiates In the audience, talk ing at large to his neighbors. “Soldier’s Joy” was the opening chorus, to warm things up, Colonel Poole leading it with his bow held in his right armpit (the arm being gone) and his fiddle balanced on his left knee and rubbed against the bow with his left hand. The immediate accompaniment was furnished by Savanrfah Singley, a nine-year-old girl of Logansville, on a banjo; Mack Singley, her brother, ten years old. The "old fiddlers” furnished the background, at a nod from Colonel Poole. Of course everybody knew the tune. They swung Into it together as easily as though they’d been rehearsing it for a month. T ' Then the contest was on, each fiddler choosing his own piece. Colonel Poole led off. with' "‘Fisher’^ Hornpipe.” He used his teeth to turn the keys of his fiddle till he got it "right.” THE ICE IS BROKEN. It remained for Prof. Ludwig to set the feet to patting. The exquisite rhythm of "Negro In the Woodpile,” under his bow, beat ragtime seven ways from Sunday—for fiddling tunes are the primitive of ragtime, and it’s the primi tive that grips us strongest. Prof. Lud wig’s long whiskers, and his serious eyes behind his pedagogic spectacles, set off his music as artistically as the most serious comedian could tell a side-split ting joke. He was not applaud,ed. He was cheered loudly. M. Y. Robinson, of Dunwoody, did not have to progress far into his favor ite, “Going Down to Town,” before he had his audience with him. Wiley Har per, of Monroe, following with “Polly Put the Kettle On,” found that his audience was just itching to dance, and he teased them a little further along. He got so wound up in his own music that he kept fiddling when Colonel Poole rapped “Lime out,” and fiddled ti\l he got back into his own chair. Then fol lowed R. H. (“Bob”) Young, of New ton, with “Hog in the Cane-Brake.” J. B. Crenshaw, of Covington, came next with VHop Light, Ladies.” Aftr that it was a revel of fiddling, with every piece beter than the one before it. The first saraw-beating wos too much for the patting feet, and the dancing was on—upon the stage and up on the floor, wherever the spirit seized one. Some wives all but sat upon their husbands’ heads to keep them down. “Old grandpa over yonder’s just nat urally about to bust, he wants to dance so bad,” said one of the audience wits, pointing out a stout be-whiskered gen tleman who had abandoned his own seat to watch the twinkling feet of oth ers. “And if he gets up on the stage, something’s going to lift me up by the hair of my head. I feel it.” But “grand pa,” managed to hold himself in. JOHN CARSON, OF BLUE RIDGE. John Carson, of Blue Ridge, was the favorite, and the audience did not hes itate to call for him—as “Carson” or AVIATORS Tfl TRY li FLIGHT OVER ATLANTIC London D.ail Mail Hangs Purse of $50,000 for One Successful (By Associated Press.) LONDON, April 2.—Several aviators have announced theTr intention of com peting for the Daily Mail’s $50,000 prize for a trans-Atlantic flight. Gordon Eng land, a British airman, and Herr Rump- ler, a German inventor, have declared that they will enter the contest and the Eleriots and Captain F. S. Cody say they will be competitors in both the Atlantic flight and that around Britain. The Mail says the best experts believe that the Atlantic prize will be won be fore the end of 1914. Horace Short, the builder of the naval water planes, considers a flight from America to Great Britain with the help of the wind almost feasible now and says that a flight in the reverse direc tion mfe-y be accomplished, within eigh teen months. Water planes will prob ably be used by the competitors, so that machines can light and be replenished with fuel. The only skeptics, adds the Mail, are the builders of German airships, who know nothing about water planes. Major Von Parseval considers an Atlantic flight far beyond the realm of present possibilities. COMMERCE REALTY BRINGS GOOD PRICE (Special Dispatch to The Journal ) COMMERCE, Ga., April 2.—The real estate, bank stock, etc., of James T. Rogers, late of Commerce, Ga., now de ceased, was sold by his executors at pub lic outcry at Jefferson, Ga., today, and brought what is regarded as fancy prices. The barber shop occupied by W. D. Pierce, was bought by Mr. W. Y. Harber for $2,650, the drug, store occupied by Hubbard Drug company, was bought likewise by W. Y. Harber for $3,150; the J. T. Rogers home place was sold to William A. Echols, manager Commerce Telephone company, for $2,550; another six-room dwelling house adjoining the J. T. Rogers’ residence was bought by Thomas T. Hudson, for $1,675; vacant lot No. 1 on Pine street, was sold to Mr. Earnest B. Crow, for $810; vacant lot No. 2, adjoining lot 1, was sold to Frank Ritchie for $675. The Northeastern Banking stock brought $153 to $155 per share, par value $100. "Blue Ridge”—when the evening grew informal. "Fiddling John,” as he is known, is one of the state’s prime ar tists with a bow. Moreover, he can sing. He was encored time and again. An other star performer was W. M. Ware, of Atlanta, fldddling with a mouth-harp accompaniment and responding to sev eral encores. Either of these would make good on the vaudeville stage. Lit tle four-year-old Mack Eddleman, of Madison, recited a ten-minute piece about the Roman sentry at Pom peii, without a break, with gestures now and then, demonstrating a remarkable memory in a child so young. All the old fiddlers will be on hand again Wednesday night. Lots more will have joined them, promise the manage ment. Tom Corwine, lyceum entertain er, will be an added attraction with his polyphonic Imitations of barnyard noises, steamboats on the Mississippi, "a dog fight in front of the post office,” and other sounds. It’s a safe bet that everybody who was in the audience Tuesday night will be there again, fate willing. The program begins at 8 o’clock. The admission is 25 cents. The convention ends Thursday night, when the prizes will be awarded. Following is a nearly complete sum mary of the program rendered Tuesday night: Colonel A. V. Poole—"Fisher’s, Horn pipe.” J. B. Singley, Logansville—"Jacksons March.” P. D. Ludwig, Cobb County—"Nigger In the Woodpile.” M. Y. Robinson, Dunwoody—"Going Down to Town.” Wiley Harper, Monroe—"Polly, Put the Kettle On.” Bob Young, Newton County—"Hog In the Cane Brake.” J. D. Crenshaw, Covington—"Hop Light, Ladies.” Elmira Mack Eddleman, Madison (four years old)—Recitation. J. V. Tyson, Hogansville—“Snap Fin ger.” John Block, Lawrenceville—"Arkan sas Traveler.” Mack and Bonnie Singley—"Dixie” and “Casey Jones.” C. C. Moon—“Shanghai.” W. M. Ware, Atlanta—"Sweet By and Bye,” with harmonica accompaniment, and encores. Fiddling John Carson, Blue Ridge— “S’wanee River,” "Run, Nigger, Run,” and encores. W. Buck Nash, Atlanta—"Forked Deer.” B. E. Day, Cartersville—“Soldiers’ Joy.” J. O. Hudson, Macon—“Cotton-eyed Joe.” Wiley Harper—"Bonaparte’s Retreat.” Cliff Singley, Logansville—Straw beating accompaniments. “All is Well That Ends Well” Along with dyspepsia comes nervousness, sleeplessness and gen- A era) ill health. Why ? Because a disordered stomach does not permit the food to be assimilated and carried to the blood. On the other hand, the blood is charged with poisons which come from this disordered digestion. In turn, the nerves are not fed on good, red blood and we see those symptoms of nervous breakdown. It is not head work that does it, but poor stomach work.

DANIEL WOOLEN MIU8 t Oept.G, 300 Green St„ Chicago PRESIDENT CULLS li SENATOR HOKE SMITH FOR TALK 1 TARIFF Georgian With Senators Sim mons and Stone, of the Fi nance Committee, Will Con- i fer With Wilson Thursday (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, April 2.—President Wilson’s attitude toward, certain fea-. tures of the new tariff bill was the sub ject of a conference today by Demo cratic members of the house ways and means committee. Chairman Under wood laid before the committee the re sults of his talk with the president dur ing: which Mr. Wilson urged several re ductions in rates proposed by the com mittee. The sugar tariff issue has become more acute because of reports today that the president and Mr. Underwood prac tically had decided on the removal of all duty on sugar with a provision that such change would not take effect im mediately, but that sugar growers would have an opportunity to readjust them selves to the altered conditions. *Such a provision if decided upon would be ad vanced in the senate in the hope of steadying some of the opposition from Louisiana and some other states where Democratic forces have been lined up to kill any bill that puts sugar on the free list. The points upon which President Wil son has failed to agree with the house tariff makers are of sufficient impor tance to leave in doubt the time when the bill finally will be completed. That the president is giving careful attention to views of those who oppose free sugar was indicated today when he sent for Colonel Ewing, Democratic na tional committeeman from Louisiana. Mr. Ewing declined to discuss his visit, but it was believed the president en deavored to suggest a compromise ar rangement so when the tariff bill reaches the senate its sugar provision would not be opposed there. The president told several of his call ers that he had not mad.e up his mind about the income tax rates. He said it would be Impossible to determine this until there had been an agree ment upon tariff rates, as not until then would it be known just how much reve nue would be required. The tariff will be discussed tonight at the White House among the president and Senators Simmons, Stone and Hoke Smith, of the finance committee. SENATOR IS SUBPENAED IN ALASKAN FRAUD TRIAL CHICAGO, April 2.—Subpenaes were issued today for the appearance of George Turner, former United States senator from Washington, in the trial of Albert C. Frost and four others, charged with Alaskan land frauds.

It was expected the case would reach the Jury next week.

Fortunate is the on© who can eat "anything” without suffering the tor tures of dyspepsia, but as few are so fortunate care should be taken in the matter of diet. Eating slowly, masti cating the food thoroughly and taking a short walk after the heavy meal of the day will do much towards assisting digestion. Any grown-up person ought to know the peculiar foods that do not agree, and these should be avoided. When these common-sense aids fail, the next thing to do is to take a mild digestive tonic with laxative properties, and there is none better than Dr. Cald well’s Syrup Pepsin. It contains the greatest of all aids to digestion, good pepsin. It has other ingredients that act mildly on the bowels, which togeth er form a combination for the relief of dyspepsia or indigestion that is unsur passed. Its action is to tone and strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles so that they can again do their work naturally without outside aid, and when that hap py moment comes all medicine can be dispensed with. It is the best remedy obtainable for any disorder of the stom ach, liver and bowels, for dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, headaches, drowsiness after eating, gas on the stomach, etc. Thousands of users will testify to this, among them Mrs. Oliver Young, Merrill, Wis. She says: "After many years suffering from indigestion I have obtained what I believe to be permanent relief by using Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. I feel 10 years younger, MRS. OLIVER my work seems easy, my breath is ne longer bad and I eat what I want with out distress.” Syrup Pepsin is sure in its results, and a vast improvement over chewing or swallowing tablets and mints, or tak ing cathartics, salts, etc., all of whieh are harsh and nauseous and at best do but temporary good. You can obtain Syrup Pepsin at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar a bottle. Result* are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. If no member of your family has ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial of it before buying it in the regular way of a drug gist, send your address-^a postal will do^-to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 426 Washing ton St., Monticello, Ill., and a free sam ple bottle will be mailed you. CONSTRUCTION TIMBER SENT FLOOD SECTIONS RUNAWAY PLOW MULE INJURES FARMER (By Associated Tress.)
