The remains of Mrs. Davis were

STILL COUNTING
THEJOT CHART
Interest in the Contest is
Increasing Steadily
Day by Day.
To Arrange Rebates Between
the Representatives of These
Two Southern liducational
Institutions Next Year.
Arrangements are being made between
the University of Georgia aud the Uni
versity of North Carolina, looking to a
series of debates betweon the two col
leges, to begin next year.
Several years ago an arrangement was
made with North Carolina by which a
series of six debates was arranged be
tween the two colleges to take place
alternately in this city and at Chapel
Hill, where the University of North
! Carolina is located. The tirst deba'e,
under that arrangement, which was
held in this city, was won by the Uni
versity of Georgia while the following
three won by North Carolina The re
maining two debates of that series were
won by Georgia, one at Chapel Hill and
one in this city, tieitig the number won
by each college.
To break the tie another debate was
arranged between G,-orgia and North
Carolina, but the rules to govern the
contest could not be agreed upon and
the proposed debate was called off.
Now comes North Carolina presenting a
set of rules to goveru the d-bates in the
future, and it is probable that these will
be agreed upon aud the debatet will
begin next vear.
THE BONDi™
DATE TO BE FIXED
It Will Probably be During
The Latter Part
of July.
There is some talk of holding the elec
tion for county bonds th“ latter part of
July or the first part of August.
It was thought at tirst that July 6th
would be about the right time for the
election, bnt the attention of the com
missioners has been called to the fact
that the farmers will not have laid by
their crops by that date and that it
would probably be better to call the
election at a little later date.
The commissioners will take the mat
ter under advisement aud will give it
thorough consideration before setting
the date for the election.

There are many people who make the
humiliating acknowledgement that they
are dependent upon coffee to "braoe
them up” every little while. These hare
never learned the truth about Postnm
Cereal Coffee which makes leaving off
coffee a simple matter and brings health
and strength in place of coffee ills. A
lady of Davenport, Iowa, who has used
Postnm Food Coffee for five years is
competent to talk opon the subjeot. She
says:
'I am a school teacher and daring
extra work when I thought I needed to
be braced np I nsed to indulge in rich,
strong coffee of which I was very fond
and upon which 1 thought I was de
pendent.
"I began to have serions heart palpita
tion and at times had sharp pains aronnd
the heart and more or lees stomach tron-
ble. I read about Postnm aud got some
to try. I dropped coffee, took np the
Postnm and it worked such wonders for
me that many of my friends took it np.
‘•In a Bliort time I was well again,
even able to attend evening socials. And
I did not miss my coffee at all. Now I
can truthfully say that I have been re
paid fully for the change I made. I have
no indications of heart disease and not
once in the past four years have I had a
sick headache or bilioas spell.
