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. PLANT JUICE REMEDIES. MHICH COL. DILLINGHAM INTRO DUCED HERE ARE SELLING LIKE HOT CAKES.

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. W. Peacock, druggist
