Verdict for Dr. Pierce AGAINST THE Ladies’ Home Journal. Sending truth after a lie. It is an old ma\ltn that "a lie will travel seven leagues while truth getting its boots on," and no doubt hundreds of thousands of gofnl people read the unwarranted and malicious attack upon Dr. It. V. Pierce and his''Favorite Prescription "published In She May (1904) number of the Ladies’ Home Journal, with its great black dis play headings, who never saw the hum ble, groveling retraction, with Its incon spicuous heading, published two mouths later. It was boldly charged In the sland erous and libelous article that I)r. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for the cure of woman’s weaknesses and ailments, con tained alcohol and other harmful ingredi ents. I)r. Pierce promptly brought suit against the publishers of the Ladies’ Home Journal, for $200,000,00 damages. Dr. Pierce alleged that Mr. Hok, the editor, maliciously publisher, the article containing such false and defamatory matter wfpr the Intent of injuring his touslncaKfurthermore, that no alcohol, or other Viurious. or habit-forming, drugs are, oryver ivore, contained In his "Fa vorite /resumption"; that said medicine Is mudy iaCm native medicinal roots and harmful ingredients what* ever/Wd that Mr. Hok's malicious state- Bf fUf were wholly and absolutely false.

Pierce was greatly injured i>y the publication of the libelous article with tu great display headings, while hundreds of Ahousantls who road the wickedly defamatory article never saw Iho humble groveling re b* ction. set In small type and made as Incon-. •plcuous as possible. The matter was. how ever brought before a jury In the Supremo Court of New York State which promptly (rendered a verdict In the Doctor's favor. (Thus his t.raducers came to grief and their (base slanders were refuted. In France it is a penal offense to give any form of solid food to babies under a year old, unless it be pre scribed in writing by a proptiriy quali fied medical man.

Probably the greatest sufferer from the discontinuance of free passes i* I the Pullman Company. Very few of the thousands who received free rail way transportation enjoyed any fav ors at the hands of the Pullmans. They paid for their berths like other passengers. Riding without cost, they generally felt able to indulge in the luxury of a bed. Cutting off the bulk of this travel has cut off many thousands of the Pullmans' revenue. In fact, hundreds of sleeping cars are hauled back and forth .now that are little more than so many empties. Any commercial traveler will bear witness of this.—Kansas City Journal. CONSOLATION.

I have used seven 50 cent bottles of the Liquid, and one jar of your Hancock’s Liquid Sul phur Ointment, and now J feel as though I had a brand new pair of hands. It has cured me and I arn certain it will cure any one if they persist in using Hancock’s Liquid Sulphur according to directions. “Butler Edoab.” Why He Didn’t Know Him. An up-country business man was once introduced to Abbot Lawrence. “Mr. Smilh?” said Mr. Lawrence, with a musing air. “I don’t think I Ttnow you, do 1?” . "Well, you ought to,” was the’re ply. “I’ve traded with you for twen ty years.” “Always paid your bills, perhaps?" “Of course.” “That accounts for it,” said Mr. Lawrence, “I know the others.” — Boston Herald.

Ev ery system of schools will be repre sented. Macon Grows Some. Citizens of Macon who have been much concerned in the rapid growth of local population were much pleased with the announcement by officials in charge of the latest city directory that there are now 55,900 souls breathing the air of the Central City The directory will contain 22,360 names. The multiple used is two and one-half, the lowest employed oy any people handling a directory, and this furnishes the figures which have been considered very low.

Some of the tangible results of the syndicate are an electric line to their property from Eatonlon via Oconee Springs, Putnam's famous health re . sort. The principal object in se curing the water power is the erec tion of a cotton mill on the old At wood factory site, near Long Shoa-'s. • * * Merchant Assassinated. Homer Moss, a prominent merchant murdered at his store at that place murdered at his store at Nickajack a few nights ago some time between 8 and 11 o'clock. Mr. Moss left his store at 8 o’clock, and went to his home nearby for some change, telling his wife he would be back soon. His continued absence alarmed them, and at 11 o'clock they aroused the servauts, and going to the store they found the back door partly open, and inside, ou the floor, in the rear of the store, found the body of Moss. His skull v.as fractured, and near by was a hickory club, about two feet long, which had probably been used by his assailants. w • • • Big Cotton Sale at LaGrange. Probably the largest single trans action of the kind ever made in La- Grange was consummated a few days ago, when 2,000 bales of cotton were sold through L. E. Dunson to the* Consolidated Catton Duck corpora tion of Baltimore. The price was understood to be about 11 cents and a check was issued for about sllo,oou for the whole lot. The cotton belonged to Messrs. J. E. Dunson, J. M. Barnard, W. A. Reeves and others, of the Troup com pany and was stored in the mam moth new warehouse of the Troup company at LaGrange, which is sail to be the largest cotton warehouse between Baltimore and New Orleans. * * * Electric Railway Chartered.

This is the Baracas, whose motto is “young men at work for young men.” They meet at the Wesleyan Memorial church from the 15th to the 18th, this being then eleventh annual convention. Many noted speakers and Sunday School workers will be present. On the same dates the Philatlieas, the organized young ladies’ Bible classes, will hold their national con vention in the Congregational church. Arrangements have been made with the railroads and steamship lines for 1 1-3 rate from all points east of Colo rado. Increased Pay for County School Commissioners. We are not paying enough for coun ty supervision of schools. We ought to pay enough to demand the greater part of the time of the commissioner. We are paying in Georgia from $250 to SI,OOO for county supervision. The towns and cities of the state under local tax are paying from S6OO to $3,500 for supervision. They secure the most skilled teacher that they can find for the salary paid. The county schools need more supervision and cf a higher order than does one town school. Yet our county boards con tinue to hold down the pay to a bare pittance and hence cannot expect any man to give much of his time to the business. The commissioner’s office is a side issue. He must look to some other business to earn a living. This is all wrong. The commissioner should be given a living salary and be required to devote his best efforts to the upbuilding of the schools. Ou a salary of S3OO he cannot affoid to be more than a disbursing officer. These men have some delicacy in ask ing for more salary so they do' the best they can ou poor pay ana strug gle in other ways to make a living. I, for one, propose to plead their cause and the cause of the schools. We must pay more, so as to secure full service and tne oest service or our county school commissioners, 'ine stale school commissioner s saur> ought also to be increased. Every other state house officer has had an increase. This office equals any in re sponsibility and dignity. Let these matters be discussed at the coming meeting in Macon. —J. S. STEWART.

Russian Children’s New Games. The influence of the patriotic stand which the school children of German Poland have made against their op pressors has spread into Russian Po land. In Warsaw the youngsters are playing anew game called “Demon strators,” in which they divide them selves into two camps—“ Cossacks” and “Patriots” or “Demonstrators.” The latter form procession and ad vance singing Polish melodies; where upon thev„are immediately charged by the “Cossacks,” and after a scuffle are driven off, leaving their “dead” and “wounded” on the ground. In St. Petersburg the school children have started a game of “Bomb-throwers.’W FIND OUT The Kind of Food That Will Keep . You Well. The true way is to find out what is best to eat and drink, and then culti vate a taste for those things instead of poisoning ourselves with improper, indigestible food, etc. A conservative Mass, woman writes: “I have used Grape-Nuts 5 years for the young and for the aged; in Sickness and in health; at first follow ing directions carefully, later in a variety of ways as my taste and judg ment suggested. “But its most special, personal ben efit has been a substitute for meat, and served dry with cream when rheumatic troubles made it important for me to give up the ‘coffee habit.’ “Served in this way with the addi tion of a cup of hot water and a little fruit it has been used at my morning meal for six months, during which time my health has much improved, nerves have grown steadier, and a gradual decrease in my excessive weight adds greatly to my comfort.” Name given by Postum Cereal Cos., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich.
