Huffman, of this city, says: “ I suffered dreadfully with what I thought was heart trouble, and tried various medicines in vain. After other remedies had failed, Thed- ford’s Black-Draught restored me to health. I would not feel safe without Black-Draught in the house. I consider It worth its weight in gold. It cured my Indigestion, and by this means I was restored to health. I can not express my gratitude for its benefits.” Good health depends on the condition of your digestion.

TATIVES LEAVE Tho story of Sanders Walker is startlingly unusual in many respects and it is read with unusual interes- here because he was a resident tier--' in his school days, prominent in ath- j b tics, and popular in society. The dispatches last night told of the trag- j ic, unparalleled case: j Knows He Must Die. j Macon, Ga.. May 19.—"1 wish it was all over,” said B. Sanders Wal-! her, Jr., when told this morning that this was his last day on earth, llo is dying from poison, having swallow ed a bichloride of mercury tablet by mistake for a headache pill last Thursday. He Is suffering intensely and is very weak, his death being consider ed but a matter of a few hours. His father. B. S. Walker, of Monroe: his brother. Cliff M. Walker, Solicitor General of the Western Circuit, and other relatives are at his bedside. Without exception, in every church In Macon, Protestant and Catholic, prayers were offered yesterday for his recovery and his case was com mented upon from nearly all the pul pits in tho sermons. Walker's case is one of pathetic Interest. Ho is one of the wealthiest young business men in Macon or mid dle Georgia, controlling property esti mated at $700,000 valuation. He is a graduate of tin- I'niversity of Georgia, in the class of l:m3 lie played short- stop on tin- Georgia baseball team w l-ib* a student at Athens. Walker was ill ill-- prim-' of young manhood and a specimen of perf-ci health when bis mistake of four days ago placed him upon his deathbed. Afler tlie- first day the pain caused t-v the gnawing poison eased and set about its d-adly work of slowly but surely destroying th-- functions of ihe kidneys ml liter. Within another ciay the kidneys were paralyzed. But for a slight pallor, on one would know trim his apeparanee he was a living dead mail. Calmly Winds Up Affairs. When told he could not recover. Walker summoned several of his bus iness associates and gave directions concerning the disposition of press ing business matters. Besides being a banker, he is interested in man business enterprises, particularly in real estate. "I know I must die " he said to his mind to face it as bravely as possible, friends. “It is something that cannot be helped, and 1 have made up my I do not ftel the slightest pain; It is strange that I must die from a causo that makes itself so little felt. If 1 didn't have so much faith In my phy sicians and know that the poison is in my system. I would laugh at my lenience to death. "I suffered terribly from nausta anil burning pains for twelve or four I i n hours after swallowing tile poi son; then the distress gradually wore i>wa\ mitil it ceased altogether. It is •1 itlii-iiIt for me to believe my eml is so m ar." Makes Will After Banquet. Following liis return from a bun let given to it legates to the Geur a State Bankers’ Association, who -re in convention here. Walker, who left bis bed and donned bis evening 'otlu-s to attend the dinner, called his lawy-r and made his will. Pri mus to going to the banquet, he was little skeptical concerning his ap proaching death and as one of the hosts to the bankers lie was as gay tin- gayest. Excepting for tin- said and at times tearful faces of his wife anil children and otlnr relatives, it is difficult to realize tile Walker mansion is a house of death. Tile members of tlie family have agreed not to talk of the impending fate of the master in his presence and make every effort to turn his mind from his approaching end.
