crushed him to death before it
could be stopped.
Knox claim.*! this afternoon,
in talking to parties hero, that lie

the address to each tom off and
a card on which was printed R.

A meeting of the Board of
Trade was held last night in the

Douglas, in Coflee county, is
seeking a railroad outlet toward
the gulf. There is now a move¬
ment on foot to build a road from
Douglas to Leliaton, the Valdos¬
ta people agreeing to raise enough
money to build from Valdosta to
that point.
The South Georgia road
to Adel. By building an addi¬
tional two miles, connection can
be made with the road from
Sparks to Nashville, thence over
tile riileblooiu, Valdosta ^ & South-
ern to Leliaton, connecting with
the proposed road from Douglas,
By building tlie two miles at Adel
a through line will be established
to T L* baton, .. . about . . fifty or sixty . ,
miles northeast of Quitman.
There are three or four short
roads between here and Augusta ’
all running the same general di¬
rection. The distance is about
288 miles. The missing gaps to
b» built between these points is
about 78 miles.
When the missing links are
completed, as they will be at no
distant day, it will establish a
new short line from Augusta to
the Gulf via Quitman and Perry.
The section of country traversed
by this line is new and largely
undeveloped and it is unquestion¬
ably the best section of unoccu¬
pied territory in Georgia to-dav
for a line of railway.
President Spain appointed u
committee to take the matter up
with the citizens of the towns, in¬
terested, and the owners of the
Nashville & Sparks and Pine-
bloom road, to see what can be
done. D.’. E. L. Jelks, S. S.
Rountree, C. I. Harrell, A. Sweat
and Fuller Groover compose the
committee and they will go ic-
tively to work at once, Til 2
proposition is entirely feasible
and means very much for the fu¬
ture growth of Quitman.—Quit-

Best Cough Medicine for Children.
When you buy a cough medicine
for small children you want one
in which you can place implicit
confidence. You want one that
not only relnves but cures. Y ou
want one that is unquestionably
harmless. You wantoue that is
pleasant to take. Chamberlain’s
Cough remedy m^ets all of tln se
conditions. There is nothing so
good for the coughs and colds in¬
cident to childhood. It is also a
certain preventive and cure for
croup, and there is no danger
whatever from whooping cough used
when it is given. It lias been
in many epidemics of that disease
with perfect success, bur sale by

this subject is expressed * in tho

lie pointed out the earnest nee*
of Jesus, the seriousness of* His
‘-'haracter, , , the honesty . of tlm*tory

ot Ilis life demands that wo he-
^ ievt? Giat Jesuf; could sin. The
impressive story of His tempta¬
tion, said Mr. Williams, loses
all its dignity and become? there
farce if Ho was beyond the possi¬
bility of sinning. That Jesus
would lend Himself to such a drug
reduces Him from a serious char-
acter and classes Him as a moral
juggler.—Savannah News.
