UGLY RUMOR
DISCUSSED
Did Candidates Offer
Places in Light Plant
For Votes?
LUMBERMEN KICK.
Raise Vigorous Protest at Treatment
by A. & 11, and Other Ronds,
Savannah, Gn., Dee. s.—A largely
attended meeting of the lumbermen
of Savannah was held yesterday and
fiery protests against tho treatment
they allege they receive from the
railroads were registered. They de
clare that they will enter Into pro
secution for damages against tho rail
roads, claiming that they have been
damaged through Inability to move
their lumber.
The Atlantic and Bllrmlngham was
singled out ns the particular offend
er, It being alleged that this railroad
will not permit Its cars to move off
Its own line, thus forcing the lumber
to move to Brunswick. This Is de
clared a discrimination against Sav
annah.
Complaint generally Is made of
scarcity of cars, lack of proper equip
ment and delay in moving the cars
after they have been leaded, thus de
laying tho sailing of vessels tor which
the lumber Is destined.
Editor Tlmes-Entorprise:
The city has Just levied a tax of
$30,0(10 upon her citizens for the
purchase and municipal ownership
of an electric light plant. It Is now
persistently rumored on pur streets
that even before the formality of
pledging our credit and taking over
i lie property could be attended to,
one of the three candidates for the
chief executive office of this city has
voluntarily promised men now ern
ployed In this plant that it he should
be elected they would be kept In
their present positions by the city
with an Increase of salary—all this
if they would vote for him for mayor.
The writer cannot conceive of this
being true. If it Is true the fact
Is lamentable and the choice of such
a candidate would be unfortunate.
Are we willing that this venture of
ours, shall, before Its birth be Jeop
ardized by dragging It Into polities?
Shall Its Otriccs be made snbjects of
barter and exchange for votes to pro
mote the political success of any
man or set of men? This species
of graft merits onr speedy condemn
ation. f
I repeat that I am loath to believe
that any of the three men running for
mayor would do this. I believe that
each of thorn will speedily deny this
rumor through your columns.
Respectfully,
T. N. Hopkins.

LOCAL DRUGGISTS ABE MORE
THAN PLEASED WITH THE ’
PATRONAGE THFY ABE
RECEIVING.
Many Afflicted Persons Have Been
Permanently Cured'and are Cheer
fully Testifying to What Wonder
ful Medicines the Plant Juice Rem
edies Are.
Tho fame of F. A. Dillingham, the
famous advertiser of Plant Juice
Remedies did not go with him when
he left ' Thomasviiie some weeks
ago, after an eminently successful
engagement here of fonr weeks, but
remains with the medicines he placed
with the local druggists and they
are yet all the talk. More than that,
they are likely to attract the perma
nent attention of the people of Thom
as county as well’ as many adjoin
ing counties for all time. That they
will become a household remedy
there Is not the slightest donbt.
Col. Dillingham with his modern
and nneqnalled vaudeville perform
ances made a lasting impression on
the thousands of people who attended
his exhibitions because of the able
lectures he gave on diseases and the
uses of medicines and the proficiency
of his artists on the stage. People
wondered at his remarkable demon
strations of the efllcacies of the medi
cines which he made in the presence-
of the people and In a manner that
was convincing and showed that
rfhose remedies were just as repre
sented.
1 These illustrations of the miracles,
one might say of the medicines, were
the talg of the citizens of Thomas
viiie as he effected several cures of
rheumatism, tapeworm, tetter, ecze- 1
ma and other eruptions and ailments
o^ long standing and yet there U no
sign of these cures not being perma
nent. All who took his medicines
are giving strong testimonials of the
benefits they received and are warm
in their praises of Plant Juice reme
dies, as well as deeply grateful to
Col. Dillingham that he came this
way. They -are sincere In the belief
that they have been cured permanent
ly and thy do not hesitate to hearttly
recommend Plant Juice remedies.
It appears to be a genuine pleas
ure to them to tell tbelr neighbors
and friends and especially those who
are ailing and cannot get relief, all
abont what Plant Jnlce remedies did
tor them. The indorsements are so
strong as to convince erory one and •
they are cheerfully lending assist
ance to Col. DllUngnai-i In his in
troduction of Plant Juice Wet-edles
into as many of the good hur.es of
Thomasviiie and Thomas connty as
possible, with the result that the
druggists who wtrv fortunate In se
curing a stock ot these famous reme
dies are having good sales of them
and are eacu iraged lo handle them
on a more extensive scale. This Is
borne out by the statements of the
druggists thenissivej, since Co). Dil
lingham's departure
Among those who have fccou so
greatly benefited by Plant Juice rem
edies Is Mr. Charles Hall, the well
known Railroad man from whom
came a tape worm 70 feet long, head
and all, after he had’taken only a
part of a dollar bottle of Plant Juice
He suffered all sorts of torture for
several years before that but he Is
a well man today, sound as a gold
dollar and he ascribes It all to Plant
Jnlce.
Another who waa cured permanent
ly Is N. J. Austin, the well known
merchant. He hat had no sign of
rheumatism since he took the medi
cine more than a month ago, and he
believes that he is cored for all time.
There Is Mr. R. J. Bally the leading
merchant He had a very bad case
but after three days' treatment he
was entirely well and the beauty of
It is, he is still wall.
Everybouschold should have theta
remedies. They are cheap, costing
only one dollar a bottle, and there Is
Ufe and happiness In every dollar
spent In that way. For sale by j.
