assailant, has skipped the country.
The affair occurred Saturday night,
In the negro quarter of the town
where the sawmill hands live. They
were engaged In a card-game when
a quarrel arose. Rogers shot Ford,
one bullet passing through his body
and one through Ills arm. The
wounds are so serious that doctors

Do So by Col. Dillingham.
Arm Had Been Useless a Few Min
utes Before.
To say that Col. Dillingham's Plant
Juice Remedies are creating excite
ment In this section, and are uphold
ing their reputation as a wonder in
more ways than one, Is stating it
mildly.
Col. Dillingham's Plant Juice, tfce
medicine which has made Col. Dil
lingham the large fortune which he
now possesses, and which he Is In
troducing In this state, Is being sold
at an enormous rate. It is sold by
the druggists with the understanding
that at the end of three days, If
anyone who buys Is not satisfied, he
Is to bring the bottle back and hu
money will be refunded.

GRADY'S FIRST COURT.
Cairo. Ga., Feb. 19.—The first
court for Grady county will convene
on the first Monday in March, with
Judge Robert G. Mitchell presiding,
and Solicitor General W. E. Thomas.
Last Tuesday was return day und the
docket contains eighteen cases.
This makes a good showing, as to
the amount of litigation that will
start In the new county. The recent
decision of the supreme court, trans
ferring all criminal as well as civil
business from the old counties to the
new counties, will make tho docket
somewhat larger In Grady than was
first expected. The court will be
held In the Town Hall.
Mrs. A. L. Splno, of Columbus,
Ga., had been deaf for a number of
years. She was made to hear at a
distance of 60 feet In a short time.
Jim Kettel had had a paralysed
arm for two years. Its use was re
stored to him after two applications.
Y. L. Togo, a man who bad been
deaf for twenty years, was made to
Juice In such a short time, purchased
hear distinctly by two applications.
A rather laughable occurrence
took place during Col. Dillingham’s
advertising campaign. J. B. Ran-
tlmello had had a paralysed arm
for a number of months. He came
to the platform and told Col. Dilling
ham that he did not think be could
benefit him. Dillingham smiled, and
announced to the audience what had
been said, and then, after having
the sleeve rolled up, and exposing
the useless member, started his treat
meat. The arm had been hanging
limply at the side, of little use to
Its owner, when he came to the plat
form, and In about three minutes
Col. Dillingham stepped back and re
quested Mr. Santlmello to rise from
his seat. He did so, and Col. Dil
lingham said: “Let's see you hit
me." The Instructions were follow
ed so literally that Col. Dillingham
received a blow which staggered
him. A smile of Intense surprise
and delight overspread the face of
the man who but a moment before
could hardly have raised the arm
with which he dealt the blow, and
the audience waa carried off their
feet with enthusiasm, and cheered
Dillingham again and again. Mr.
Santlmello Insisted upon shaking
hands with Col. Dillingham with the
arm that bad a short time before
been useless.
L. A. Jarnero had had a paral
ysed arm for two years, and was able
to use It once more after he had
treated It with less than one bottle

one bottle of this great new remedy,
and came yesterday to tel) Montgom
ery A MacIntyre what It had done
for him. He said: “For the past
eight months I have been unable to
sleep, my paralysis being brought
on by a blow on the head, which so
. destroyed my nerves that Insomnia
was the result I took throe doses
of this Plant Juice medicine and ob
tained the first sound healthy night’s

better already.’’

ted by Plant Juice Remedies are the

Last week Miss 8ophIe Gastove
held up her right arm and said: “I
have come here to tell you about
this wonderful' liniment and what
It has done for me. I have had rheu
matism In my arm for the past year
so badly that I could not raise It. I
obtained a bottle of Dillingham's
Plant Juice Liniment, and taking It
home, used It three or four times.
This morning, so my amassment, I
could raise my arm above my head,
as you see me now. I wish to make
this announcement before all these
people; and wlU tell anyone who calls
that'this Is fhe truth.”
An interesting decision of the su
preme court was announced yester
day, which gives Mitch Sampson,
convicted of liquor selling a now
trial. Sampson was sentenced to
a $500 fine nt tho October term of
superior court. His attorneys, T.
N. Hopkins and Thco. Titus, ap
pealed the ense to the supreme court,
on the ground of certain Irregular
ities. The high tribunal sustained
the contention of these attorneys,
and reversed the decision of the
superior court, thus giving Mitch
Sampson n now trial.
The decision is based on an In
teresting technicality of law, which
Is explained as follows In tho brief
of Messrs. Hopkins and Titus:
During the October term, 1905,
of Thomas superior court defend
ant wds arraigned for trial on an
Indictment charging him with a
misdemeanor. Before announcing
ready for trial and before pleading
to the Indictment he filed his special
plea, moving that the Indictment be
quashed On the sole ground that as
a matter of fact It had not beon re
turned to the court either by tho
grand Jury or by Its sworn bailiff.
Upon traverse filed by tho stato to
this plea the defendant Introduced
the minutes of said superior court,
together with an order of the Judge
previously passed preceding his
trial, amending said minutes of the
court so as to show that on tho
17th day of October, 1905, the same
being tho day upon which the Indict
ment against the defendant was re
turned to the Clerk, the presiding
Judge was not present and presid
ing, nor the court In session, but
on said 17th day of October, 1905,
the presiding Judge left the court
room and court house at about 11
o’clock a. m., after having discharged
tho petit Jury and did not again
come to the court house until the
following morning at 8:30. The
Issue this formed the defendant
prayed should be submitted to «
Jury, which was done. At the con
tluslon of the evidence the presid
ing Judge, upon motion of the So
licitor General, directed a verdict
against the plea.”
Therefore, the Sampson attorneys
claim that because the Judge was
not present the Indictment was not
legally presented and In this con
tention they are supported by tho
supreme court. A number of other
Indictments were returned In exact
ly the same manner, and doubtless
other blind tiger people would have
been granted a new trial had they
carried the cases up. As It Is, how
ever, all except Mitch have plead
guilty or paid their fines. Nick
Sampson, who Is now In Jail serving
a police court sentence, took the
preliminary steps to appeal the
case, but afterwards paid his fine.
Stetson Lumber Co. Buys
5,000 Acres from Floyd,
Howell 6 Co.
The preliminary steps have been
takne In one of tho biggest lumber
deals that South Georgia has ever
known. It concerns the purchase of
about 5,000 acres of timber laud
from Floyd, Howell and Co. by the
Stetson Lumber Co. The amount in
volved is $00,000. There have been
payments to bind the bargain, and
the papers completing the deal will
be signed next week.
Floyd, Howell and Co. is a firm
that is one of the largest turpen
tine operators in this section. They
deal extensively in naval stores and
have numerous stills in this county,
Most of their land is finely timbered
Now that the trees have been tur
pentined they are ready for the saw
mill. The land is w*ell located.
Most of it is south and west of this
city within easy access of~the rail
roads. The price paid is an aver
age of about twelve dollars per
acre. This indicates the marvelous
advance in timber * values. A few
years ago land, timber and all could
have been purchased for less than
tho prjee now paid for the timber
alone, after the turpentine has been
extracted.
The purchaser, the Stetson Lum
ber Company, has its headquartero
at Macon. They are known to South
Georgians from the fact that they
have their mills at Coolldge. Last
year they were ‘the lessee of tho
convicts of Thomas county. They
are a big concern and are well
equipped to handle a deal of this
magnitude. It is said that other
bidders have offered a bonus on the
contract to the Stetson people since
tho deal was closed.

Now Senator Lodge Will Vote for a
Railway Rate BUI.
8enator Lodge of Maaaachusetta
sold hla railroad bonds so that be
could consider the rate bill without
being Influenced by hla Investment.
After studying the question a
long time, the Senator stated in a
speech last week that he Intended to
vote Interstate Commerce Commis
sion power to fix maximum rates
when existing rates appear to be un
reasonable. He Is opposed to tak
ing away from the railroads the
right to appeal to the courts,
has grave doubts as to the wisdom
of Government rate making even In
the most limited form, but be la go
ing to vote for It any way.
The late Major J. B. Peck who
some years ago waa a well known
railroad manager In the South, used
to tell a story about two Southern
Congressmen, Col. Nat Hammond of
Georgia and Col. Sam Dibble of
South Carolina.
They were both able and honest
•a. When the original Interstate
Commerce bill waa pending in Con
gress, Maj. Peck met Col. Hammond
one day and asked him what
thought of tho bill.
“I do not understand It. I do
not know what the effect will be, but
1 am going to vote for It," said Col.
Hammond.
Shortly after that Maj. Peck met
Col. Dibble and asked him the same
question.
“I do not understand that bill.
cannot forsee what the results will
be and I shall vote against It, said
Col. Dibble.
Senator Lodge said In his speech:
"Legislation cannot prevent an ap
peal to the courts If It Is alleged that
tho rate Is confiscatory; but this la
a very 'narrow ground and a very
limited right.
"A rate may not be absolutely
confiscatory and yet may be In the
highest degree unjust and unreason
able, and Indeed well nigh ruinous.
1 am not sure that It would be pos
sible to deprive a citizen by legisla
tion of the right to appeal to the
courts as to the Justice and reasona
bleness of a given rate, which Is
purely a Judicial question. But no
attempt ought to be made, either di
rectly or Indirectly, by silence or as
sertion, to destroy this privilege or
rather, this right. If delays are
feared. It Is easy to make arrange
ments by law which will compel the
swift disposition of these railroad
cases. If It Is a question as to main
taining a rate pending an appeal,
either by bonds or by paying the
money Into court lose to the party
successful In the suit can be prevent-
to by requiring the roads to give
bond." ad.
