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. “Butler Edgar.” The early bird may get the worm, but in these days of competition he has to stay up all night to do It. 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. ■ ' ■ ■ "n ■ 1 large lumber plant destroyed.

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. BURGLARS MAUL BIG HAUL. Residence of Large New York Department Store Merchant Looted. A robbery case at the summer horns of Henry Siegel, at Mamaroneck, N. Y., some time Wednesday night, has provided a mystery, which the police were unable to solve.

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.

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 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 given by Postum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich. “There’s a reason.” Read the little book, “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs.
