MONT1CELLO IS ANTI-COW.
Ire Cltjr Give* Big Majority
AgainM Bovine Freedom
The progreeslve city of Montlcello
. had a cow election Friday, and de
. elded to keep the cow off the ctreots
another year. The stock ordinance
had been on the books tor some
time, and during the past year had
been rigidly enforced by W. W. Car-
roll, editor of the Montlcello News,
who was mayor. The friends of the
cow made a big howl at this and
claimed that public sentiment was
against the enforcement of the or
dinance. To settle the matter the
ballots were printed for or against
the cow. The progressive citizens
of the town determined to keep Brln-
dle off the streets, and won by a big
majority. .

Albany, ,N. Y„ Jan. 2.—Governor
Hughes’ llrst message to the New
York Legislature today makes *ev
eral Important recommendations, lm
eluding the following:
, A recount of the vote cast for
mayor of New York City in 1905,
when MoCIollan was elected on the
face of the return:* the amount of
money a candidate may ' spend to
produce election to be limited by
law; children under sixteen years to
be not required to work more than
eight hours a day, and the work pro
hibited to them to be more precisely
spocillcd; several recommendations
regarding modification of election
and primary laws. The Governor al
so urges that larger powers be
granted the new board to control
transportation and lighting facilities
In New York City.
For over sixty years doctors
have endorsed Ayer’s Cherry

Atlanta,'Jan. S.—In spite of the

it is estimated By Ordinary Wllker

If he Is an orphan or has a widowed
mother or a disabled father, and any

SATISFACTORY OPENING.
School Renames Session With Fall
Attendance nod Bright Prospects.
i
After a two week's vacation the
Tbomasvlll* public schools resumed
their regular work yesterday morn
ing at half yaat eight. The children
were all on hand, and seemed really
glad to get hack to their accustomed
tasks, while the teachers were all in
their pliccu.
The attendance already shows an
increase for the New Year. More
than ten new 'puplia entered yester
day and there are several more who
win come in before the weok is
SHOOTS HIMSELF.
Robert Thrupp had his Arm Injnrcd
by Accident Yesterday.
Mr. Robert Thrupp Is at homo here
with a badly mangled left arm as the
result of the accidental discharge of
bis shotgun yesterday afternoon. The
young man had been out hunting and
was seated on the railroad track
resting before returning to bis homt.
His gun was lying at his aide, and
he picked it up with his left band.
The hammer caught on the rail, and
the gun was discharged. The shot
struck him in the forearm, tearing
the flesh, but no bones were braked
and the wound Is not a serious one.
Mr. Thrupp counts himself very
fortunate, as the result might have
been very serious, had he picked up'
the gun In a different manner.
EXPERTS AS WITNESSES:'"
Explaining Deductions Ma'de by Hand
writing Examiners.
.To the uninitiated the* testimony
of a handwriting expert Is as be
wildering and unintelligible as an ad
vanced lesson In experimental psy
chology. To the Initiated, and that
Is usually the lone painstaking ex
pert himself, his deductions are care
fully drawn from a complete sys
tem of well-defined rules and gath
ered from Intricate fields of scientific
research. The value of such testi
mony has long been a disputed .ques
tion. The expert himself will always
wax enthusiasm over the possibilities
of his trade, while the lawyer or the
layman are generally Inclined to look
upon the accomplishments, of a pro
fessor of chirography With' deep-eyed
cynicism.
Someone else has classified the
handwriting expert as an "expensive
humbug.” There la no denying that
be Is expensive. Such witnesses get
anywhere from 250 to $200 a day.
But the fact remains that the ex
pert’s knowledge Is considered suffi
ciently valuable to make him a wit
ness frequently sought after In some
of the most Important cases. Often
times his testimony has had consid
erable weight ' In determining tne
death penalty In a murder trial.
As a rule, a jury will collectively
discredit the expert's testimony, but
there sre some cases where the es
tablishing of the Identity of certain
handwriting by the testimony of ex
perts has been conclusive In Influeno-
Ing the jury to find a verdict. •
Whatever the value of the expert’s
testimony may be as, legal evidence,
there Is no divergence of opinion In
the minds of lawyers or laymen that
the Injection of such testimony at a
trial resolves the whole proceeding
into a monotonous and uninteresting
wealth of humdrum details.
In forming their opinions each ex-
pert bad some dozen nr fifteen so-
callcd standards of the defendant’s
writing with which they compared
the disputed writing, In explaining
his methods of comparison, qpe ex
port summed up' In the following
language:
“When a porson first learns to write
he has usually acquired a style nearer
the Ideal, because tho 'teacher’s ef
forts are all toward making tho be
ginner form each letter as nearly per
fect as possible.
"A good many young people write
with a striking degree of similarity.
Later on a person acquides certain
individual characteristics In the hand-
writing which usually appear through-
lut the rest of their lives.
“The general appearance of an In
dividual’s handwriting la sometimes
shaped by a mood. They may writo
carelessly, precisely or Indifferently
at different times, and the writing at
first glance may not nopear to be by
the same hand. But tlye basic Ideas,
characteristics and habita of penman
ship are to be found running through
all the writing In more or less pro
nounced forms.
It Is a summary If all these char
acteristic expressions In the writing
which forms an Intelligent and accu
rate comparison with a disputed writ
ing and permit of a true decision a3
to the Identity of the authors of the
writing.
You cannot make an accurate com-
parison between two specimens of
handwriting. It II necessary to study
tho tout ensemble of nil the specimens
you are able to procure.’’
BSE FROM YEAR TO YEAR
The cause of Rheumatism is an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought
on by indigestion, chronic constipation, went kidneys and a general slug
gish condition of the entire system. The refuse and waste matter of the
body is not carried but as nature intends, but is left to ferment and sour and
generate uric acid, which is absorbed into the blood. The first evidence of
Rheumatism is usually little wandering pains ia the muscles and joints, or
a tender, sensitive place on the flesh. These are often so slight that nothing
is thought of them and they pass away; but with each recurrence the trouble
becomes more severe, and from slight wandering pains and excittd nerves,
Rheumatism grdws to be a painful and almost constant trouble. The longer
the poison remains in the blood the firmer hold the trouble gets on the sys
tem. Each day the acid deposit is increasing and the disease grows worse
from year to year. After awhile the joints become coated with a corrosive
substance which seriously interferes with their working ar.d movements
and sometimes they become permanently stiff and useless. S. S. S.
cures Rheumatism by going down into the
blood and attacking the disease at its head. It
neutralizes the poisons and acit’sanddissolves
the salts and irritating deposits, making the
_ blood stream pure, fresh and healthy. S.S. S
niiDri v ufpfvibif is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and
r UntLY VEbcTABLE is therefore a safe remedv. When the blood
has been purified by S.S. S., the pains and
aches pass away, and the cure is permanent. Book on Rheumatism, and

HIGH LICENSE.
Atla u !n Barkeepers Mum:. Pay 82,-
OOO But Other* Pay More.
It now seems certain that the city
council of Atlanta will override the
veto of Mayor Woodward and make
all saloon keepers pay a license of
$2,009 per annum. This lz high
license, but not (he highest in the
state. The nelgtyiorlng city of Ca
milla, though a small towu, has
made its liquor license 22,500
year, and limited the number Issued
to two. Besides this they must
close nt sundown, and ran sell only
In packages, the smallest a half pint
making practically a dispensary sys
tem. Notwithstanding these restric
tions two firms of the four in bus
iness there last year paid the license,
and now have the exclusive whiskey
privilege for the town.
In Fitzgerald and Tlfton the price
of licenses has been fixed at $10,000
by the respective councils, it is said
that some liquor dealera have even
contemplated paying this enormous
sum, but are deterred for fear of
further restrictions, the Intention of
the councile being clearly to make
the license prohibitive. Wa^crou
