ALL WOMEN
SUFFER
from the same physical disturbances,
and the nature of their duties, in
many cases, quickly drift them into
the horrors of all kinds of female
complaints, organic troubles, ulcera
tion, falling and displacements, or
jierhaps irregularity or suppression
causing backache, nervousness, ir
ritability, and sleeplessness.
Women everywhere should re
member that the medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
actual cures of female ills is
Such a Big Hotel.
Mrs. E. R. Thomas, the day her
horse Nemesis wop at Gravesend, was
congratulated on tho success of her
racing stable.
“When one wins,” Mrs. Thomas an
swered modestly, ‘‘one’s losses are
forgotten. But in racing one’s losses
are many, and the keeping of a stable
has Its troubles.
“The general Idea of a racing stable,
the Idea that it Is one long triumph
and joy is very wrong. It is as ex
aggerated as the foreigner’s descrip
tion of our mammoth hotels.
“ ‘ln American,’ he said, ‘everything
is on a grand scale. They have gigan
tic buildings of incredible splendor. I
live ir. New York in a hotel of such
colossal proportions that when I rang
the bell Thursday evening the waiter
would come to my room Monday morn
ing.’ ” —Philadelphia Record.
CURES ALL SKIN TROUBLES.
Sulphur tho Accepted Remedy for a
Hundred Years.
Sulphur is one of the greatest remedies
nature ever gave to man. Every physician
knows it cures skin and blood troubles.
Hancock’s Liquid Sulphur enables you to
get the full benefit in most convenient
form. Don’t take sulphur “tablets” or
“wafers,” or powdered sulphur in molasses.
Hancock’s Liquid Sulphur is pleasant to
take and perfect in ita action. Druggista
sell it.
A well known citizen of Danville, Pa.,
writes: “1 have had an aggravated ease of
Eczema for over twenty-five years. I have
used seven 50-cent bottles of the Liquid,
and one jar of your Hancock’s Liquid Sul
phur Ointment, and now I feel as though
1 had a brand new pair of hands. It has
cured me and I am certain it will cure any
one if they persist in using Hancock’a
Liquid Sulphur according to directions.

ROADS TO FIGHT
ALABAMA LAWS
Petition for Temporary Injunctions
Filed Against the State.
CONFISCATION IS ALLEGED
Every Line in the State j;in; in the
Wariare, Gaiming That New Leg
islation Will Decrease Earnings.
Petition for temporary injunctions
were tiled in the United States circuit
court at Montgomery Monday to pre
vent the railroad commission, and at
torney general from putting into force
several of the recent laws passed by
the legislature.
It is the first gun of the one of the
hottest legal battles the state has
ever known, and the railroads have
announced their determination of
fighting the matter to the bitter end,
carrying it as high as it is possible.
All the railroads acted uniformly
In filing the petitions for injunctions
and they averred the new laws are
confiscatory, and that the railroads
cannot operate under them. The max
imum rate law, the two and one-half
cent passenger rate law and the ‘‘llo
articles” law as it is known, are
those attacked. Certain of the other
laws seeking to regulate the railroads
will be attacked later.
The railroads acting are the Louis
ville and Nashville, which includes
the South and North, the Southern
Railway, the Frisco System, the Cen
tral of Georgia Railway, the Seaboard
or the Atlanta and Birmingham air
line, the Atlantic Coast Line, the Ala
bama Great Southern, the Mobile and
Ohio, and the other roads operating in
the state, probably including the Mo
bile, Jackson and Kansas City.
Each of the railroads make a sep
arate petition for an injunction to
keep each of the separate bills from
becoming effective.
The railroads aver that under the
new law they would not be able to
operate and pay their expenses. They
will present a mass of figures care
fully and accurately compiled to show
that with the greatly increased cost
of operating and cost of material and
the reduction of their revenues, which
would result from these laws, they
could not make enough money to pay
their actual expenses.
They aver that the reduction of the
passenger fare from 3 cents per mile
to 2 1-2 cents will i' crease their pas
senger earnings by actually by one
sixth and more than one railroad
will allege that it actually loses money
in Alabama by operating passenger
trains at 3 cents per mile. The Sea
board will aver that it has never
made expenses since it operated in
Alabama, and other roads will aver
that their passenger service nets them
nothing.
The maximum rate law r they allege
would cripple them badly. Many of
the rates, it is alleged, which were
made the maximum that could be
charged according to the new law weie
commodity rates and were establish
ed for a limited length of time, or
for some industrial purpose and that
the railroads would lose money by
handling freight at those prices all the
time.
They aver that these commodity !
or special rates are frequently estab
lished for the purpose of aiding in
fant industries or nourishing other in
dustries that could not otherwise ex
ist, and for other reasons, such as
protecting the iron manufacturer of I
the district and enabling him to com- !
pete with the manufacturer of another !
district. It will be shown that thesa j
rates are out of all proportion with :
what is right and that establishing !
them as a maximum rate would injure
the railroads infinitely.

JURY INDICTS MINISTER.
People of Johnson County, Georgia,
Stirred Over What Seems a Clear
Case of Spite Wprk.
Many prominent citizens of John
son county, Geo-gia, were surprised
Thursday by the action of the grand
jury in session at Wrightsville in re
turning an indictment against one of
the most prominent and best beloved
ministers of the Methodist Church
of South Georgia. The indictment
shows that two of the grand jurors
sUting and acting on the till gave
the only evidence on which it was
returned.
Citizens knowing the facts criti
cize the action of these g ,- and jurors
in noting as grand jurors and swear
ing themselves as witnesses before
the grand jury*on which they were
acting for the r m'pose cf striking at
the reputation of a .minister with
whom one of these jurors and wit
nesses was known to be on the bit
terest of lerms.
The minister accused is Rev. E F.
Morgan, who has filled some of the
most prominent pulpits on the South
Georgia Conference. He was pastor
of the church here for four years. He
was, until the last conference, pasUr
of Grace Methodist church, in the city
of Savannah, and is now presiding
elder of the Mcßae district.
The witnesses in the indictments
against him are W. J. Flanders and
Itf. B. Watkins. Both of these parties
also appear as members of the grand
jury, returning the indictment. The
name of W. J. Flanders is on tho
bill as a witness and as a member
of the grand juiy, and is endorsed
on the indictment as foreman, in
which capacity he marked it as a true
bill.
The crime alleged is perjury and
the bill purports to be based on cer
tain testimony delivered by Mr. Mor
gan at the trial of the slander case
by Flanders against Judge fr. F. Da
ley, on the 22d of March 1302, Four
grand juries have passed since the
alleged false testimony was given.
Mr. Morgan was pastor of the Meth
odist church in Wrightsville in 1902,
and Flanders was a local preacher.
Flanders was triad and expelled from
the church and deprived of his li
cense as a local preacher. Mr. Mor
gan was a witness atjthe church trial
and Flanders has shown a great deal
of feeling agaihst Morgan during tlie
past five years, or since the church
trial. I-Ie has threatened to prosecute
Morgan at various times and has
'threatened him with personal vio
lence.
Last summer, while a member of
the legislature, Flanders made one of
the most sensational attacks on Mor
gan and other parties ever heard on
lhe floor of the house. He did that
under the plea of personal privilege.
The present indictments are be
lieved to be a continuation of Mr.
Ftaiulers’ efforts against all of the
parties who had anything to do with
his trial and expulsion from the
church.
Rev. Mr. Morgan was wired to come
to Wrightsville on the first train for
the purpose of standing a trial. Prac
tically the entire local bar tendered
their services to Mr. Morgan.

“CASE OF TEMPORARY DELIRIUM."
Former President Cleveland So Descr bes
Popular fight on Railroads.
“There is much of the nature of de
lirium,” said former President Grover
Cleveland in an interview at Prince
ton, N. J., Sunday, “in the popular
outcry against railroad corporations.
We shall all be ashamed of it by and
by. There is much that is not only
groundless, but wrong in the off-hand
attacks made on tne railroads by
thoughtless people. What is well
founded in them will be cured, but
the craze of denunciation will soon
pass.”

A King of Long Descent.
The Sultan of Brunei is 83 years of
age—at least so he told me. And
while he stoops as he walks, he makes
the appearance rather of a temporary
Invalid than of an old man. He seem
ed pleased when I told him that he
might pass for 60; and indeed he
might for his face is singularly free
from wrinkles. Hfs expression of
benevolence suggests the late Leo
Xlll.—his smile is engaging, albeit
tinged with sadness.
His house was ruling when the Ro
man empire had liaraxy ceased to
crumble. His ancestors gave the law
to a vast Eastern empire when Eu
rope was but a patchwork of barbar
ous chiefs, and when, after centuries,
Spanish and Portugese found their
way to the Spice Islands they laid
propitiating gifts at the feet of the
Borneo Sultan —as vassals, humbly
begging the right to live within his
dominions.
Brunei is still the metropolis of na
tive Borneo —indeed, the name Borneo
is but a corruption of Brunei—yet few
maps show the existence of this em
pire.—Harper’s Magazine.

GOOD NATURED AGAIN.
Good Humor Returns With Change to
Proper. Food.
“For many years I was a constant
sufferer from indigestion, and ner
vousness amounting almost to pros
tration,” writes a Montana man.
“My blood was impoverished, the
vision was blurred and weak, with
moving spots before my eyes. This
was a steady daily condition. I grew
ill-tempered, and eventually got so
nervous I could not keep my books
posted, nor handle accounts satisfac
torily. I can’t describe my suffer
ings.
“Nothing I ate agreed with me, till
one day, I happened to notice Grape-
Nuts in a grocery store, and bought
a package, out of curiosity to know
what it was.
“I liked the food from the very
first, eating it with cream, and now
I buy it by the case and use it daily.
I soon found that Grape-Nuts food
was supplying brain and nerve force
as nothing in the drug line ever had
done or could do.
“It wasn’t long before I was re
stored to health, comfort and happi
ness. Through the use of Grape-Nuts
food my digestion has been restored,
my nerves are steady once more, my
eyesight is good again, my mental
faculties are clear and acute, and I
have become so good-natured that
my friends are truly astonished at
the change. I.feel younger and bet
ter than I have for 20 years. No
amount of money would induce me to
surrender what I have gained through
the use of Grape-Nuts food.” Name
