‘ your time is worth much '
to your estate. If you
are a poor man. your time is worth much more to your family. The rich
man might better afford to suffer a loss of SIOO.OO a day, as a result from en
forced absence from business than the poor mau can lose the value of his labor.
Both men—rich or poor—are stupid to lose 10 days when 24 to 48 hours is
the limit of time required to put them in good condition by Johnson’s Chill and
Fever Tonic.
I always feel sorry for the family that is wedded to the plan of subjecting
themselves to the Quinine treatment.
The process is slow. The result uncertain. The treatment disappointing.
Johnson’s Tonic has two cardinal points that should immediately commend
it to every thinking man in this country.
I irst of all, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cir
cumstances.
Second, it is quick : it acts at once. In 80 minutes after its administration,
it enters the blood and hegms to undo the mischief caused by Malaria.
It has a wondc.fui record of 1? years of success. 999 cases out of every
1000 are promptly cure!, and t lu* 1090th case can r,e easily cured by doubling
the dose and taking it a lit tie oftencr.
Johnson’s Tonic is a won •! rful medicine it is not mere merchandise. It
is superb. No iem« ly in the whale domain of Materia Medica is more positive

Don't trifle with l ever. If allowed to ri a. it is like a house allowed to

Now, take your choice. Lie in bed for days, or maybe weeks, and poison
your digestion with Quinine, and arise finally with all the life and vim taken
out of you, or use Johnson’s Tonic and be restored at once to perfect health.
No loss of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious time. Take yous

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
DEMOCRATS CLAIM
CITY OF NEW YORK
Bay They Will Elect Ticket
by 40,000 Majority.
FUSIONISTS ASSERT SAME
Sharpest Contest of All Will Be Be
tween W. T. Jerome, Fusiouist, and
H. W. Unger, Democrat, For District
Attorney of New York County.
New York, Nov. 4. — Save for the
final preparation for marshalling forces
at the polls tomorrow the municipal
campaign is at an end. Seth Low and
Edward M. Shepard, the rival candi
dates for mayor, Justice William Trav
ers Jerome, fusionist nominee for dis
trict attorney of New York county and
the other leaders on the two tickets have
made their last speeches. Both sides
are determined to bring out the heaviest
vote possible and to that end their time
will be put in in urging voters to come to
the polls. Both sides apparently are
con fident.
The Democrats claim victory for the
entire city ticket by from 30,000 to 40,-
000 majority, while the fnsionists ad
vance the same claim. The fusionists
assert that they are certain of the de
teat of Robert A. VanWyck, the pres
ent mayor, who is a candidate for jus
tice of the supreme court. They also
express great confidence in their ability
to elect Edward M. Grout as comp
troller. Grout was elected president of
the borough of Brooklyn four years ago
as a Democrat.
The sharpest contest of all in the bit
terly contested campaign is between
Justice Wiiliam Travers Jerome, fu
sionist, and Henry W. Unger (Dem.)
for the important office of district at
torney of New York county. Each side
claims success for its man with equal
positiveness.
The weather indications are favorable
and there will probably be a heavy vote.
SOUTH AFRICAN SITUATION.
War Office Will Send Out 5,000 More
Mounted Men.
New York, Nov. 4.—Commenting
on the South African military situation,
the London correspondent of The Trib
une says:
*‘lt is said to be the intention of the
war office to send 5,000 more mounted
men out to Soath Africa during the
next six weeks. There are only about
7,000 mounted men at home, so that the
military authorities are faced by the
problem of training soldiers minus the
necessary accompaniment of a cavalry
arm. To meet this obvious failing it is
probable that several composite regi
ments of yeomanry will be voluntarily
for home service.
•‘A move will soon be made to bring
home from South Africa the men who
have served over two years in the war
and their place may be taken by the
British cavalry division of seven regi
ments now in India. After the conclu
sion of hostilities it is expected that a
permanent garrison at the cape will con
sist of 50,000 men.”
DENSE FOG IN LONDON.
Trains and Street Traffic In State of
Hopeless Confusion.
London, Nov. 4.—Fog of the pea soup
variety has enveloped London and other
parts of England for 36 hours with a
pall so dense that most pursuits have
been more or less disturbed and naviga
tion at several ports is practically at a
standstill. Trains and street traffic are
in a state of hopeless confusion. There
have been a number of collisions and
minor accidents.
The mercury in the thermometers in
London touched the freezing point this
morning and a sharp frost prevailed in
the midlands, where ponds were cov
ered with ice.
Leave of Absence For Funston.
Kansas City, Nov. 4.—lt is stated
that General Frederick Funston will
shortly be given a leave of absence from
the Philippines and return to Kansas on
a visit. He is recovering rapidly from
the operation for appendicitis, recently
undergone at a Manila hospital. Gen
eral Fred D. Grant will, it is stated,
likely succeed General Funston in com
mand of the San Fernandina district.
Schley Deolines Regretfully.
Knoxville, Nov. 4.—ln declining the
invitation to visit Knoxville Admiral
Schley assigns this as his reason: “The
fatigue incident to the prolonged ses
sions of the pending investigation has
necessitated me taking a long rest and I
feel, therefore, that I am compelled to
decline courtesies that it would have
been very agreeable to me to accept un
der other oircumstances. ”
Netherlands Accepts Terms.
London, Nov. 4.—At today's session
of the South African compensation
commission, Major General Sir John
Ardagh, the representative of the gov
ernment, announced that the Nether

of Dutch subjects for damages as the re
sult of their expulsion from South Af
rica. _

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup op Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is tlie one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling coltk headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fiq Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please

IT IS NOW BELIEVED
MISS STONE IS DEAD
Either Perished From Expo
sure or Was Killed.
HEAVY MOUNTAIN SNOWS
Friends of the Abducted Missionary
Do Not Think Site Can Possibly Have
Survived the Rigors of Her Captivi
ty by the Brigands.
New York, Nov. 4. —The positive
conviction that Miss Scone is dead is
contained in a letter which has just
been received in Boston from Ivan
Raduloff, a student who was with the
American missionary when she was
captured by brigands in Turkey to
gether with Madame Tsilka, says the
Boston correspondent of The Press.
According to this letter the snow in
the mountains into which Miss Stone
and her companion were taken by their
captors was 3 feet deep three weeks ago,
at the time the letter was written. Even
in the summer time the snow upon the
highest summits of these mountains
does not melt.
It was the conviction among Miss
Stone’s friends in Samakov, Bulgaria,
three weeks ggo, that she could not pos
sibly have survived the rigors of her
captivity until that date. There was a
hope that Miss Stone might have been
concealed by her captors in the monas
tery of Sc. Ivan of Sila, which is near
the Bulgarian-Turkish frontier and on
the Bulgarian side of it.
So great was the anxiety of the Bul
garian government to do everything in
its power to assist the United States
representatives in their effort to find the
missionary that they adopted the ex
ceedingly unpopular measure of order
ing a search of the monastery. This
search disclosed the fact that Miss Stone
had not been there. It is understood in
Samakov that the brigands who were in
immediate charge of the captive were
nuder positive instructions to take her
life at the first indication of the proba
bility of a skirmish with the troops.
SAMPSON-SCHLEY COURT.
Program For the Presentation of Ar
gument by Counsel.
Washington, Nov. 4. —Two new wit
nesses were heard in the Schley court of
inquiry today and both of them were
called in the interest of Admiral Schley.
They were' Frank B. Richards and
George Lynch, both of whom went
through the Cuban campaign as news
paper correspondents. Mr. Richards
was on the press-boat Pencre and testi
fied concerning the interview with
Captain Sigsbee, while the latter was
in command of the St. Paul' off Santi
ago in May, 1898. Mr. Lynch was on
the Somers N. Smith and was called to
relate his recollection of Captain Sigs
bee’s communication to the boat, con
cerning which Photographer Hare aud
Correspondent Scovil already have tes
tified.
During the day Captain Lemley sub
mitted for the consideration of the
court a large mass of documentary evi
dence, including Captain Goodrich’s re
port concerning cable cutting made on
April 29, 1898.
There has been no change of the pro
gram arranged on Friday for the pre
sentation of argument by counsel.
Mr. Hanna will lead off for the gov
ernment and it was expected at the be
ginning of today’s session that he would
begin his presentation of the case dur
ing the afternoon sitting, but that he
would not be able to conclude until to
morrow.
Mr. Hanna will talk for about three
hours and will be followed by Captain
Parker, on behalf of Admiral Schley. It
is expected that these two speeches will
consume most of the court’s time tomor
row and it is now believed that Mr.
Raynor for Admiral Schley and Cap
tain Lemly for the government will con
clude the presentation of the case to the
court on Wednesday and probably part
of Thursday.
Roberts Anxious to Retire.
New York, Nov. 4.—At the Service
clubs it is rumored that Lord Roberts is
anxious to retire, says the London cor
respondent of The Tribune. He never in
tended to remain the full period at the
war office, and he is credited with a de
sire to pass the winter of his days in
quiet retirement in India. While the
war lasts, however, it is almost certain
the commander in chief will not leave
bis post, reports to the contrary not
withstanding.
Will Sail on Teutonic.
London, Nov. 4. — The White Star
liner Teutonic, which is to sail from
Liverpool, Nov. 6, for New Ycrk, will
have among her passengers Mrs. Levi
Z. Leiter of Chicago. The steamer Cel
tio of the same line, which will sail
Nov. 8 for New York, has on her passen
ger list the names of Poultney Bigelow,
Joseph Pulitzer, the proprietor of the
New York World, and Lord Norbury.
«Is your mamma cross? Mine is
awful cross! Does your mamma say
‘ Hush ! ’ when you laugh or make a
little bit of a noise ? My mamma does.
She has nerves, papa says.”
The mother who overheard this ac
count of herself would feel heart-broken
to think of the shadow cast by her misery
on those she loved. Yet her condition is
real. Her nerves are strained to the
{joint of torture. Lack of appetite and
oss of sleep increase her weakness.
Such a condition may, in general be
traced to disease of the delicate womanly
organism, a cure for which is found in
the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription. It establishes regularity, heals
inflammation and ulceration and cures
female weakness. It tranquilizes the
nerves, encourages the appetite and in
duces refreshing sleep.
" I had been a constant sufferer from uterine
disease for five years,” writes Mrs. J. A. Steorts,
of Yankee Dam, Clay Co., West Virginia, "and
for six months previous to taking your mediciue
I was not out of my room. Could not walk or
stand, as there was such paiu and drawing in
left side aud bearing-down weight in region of
uterus, accompanied with soreness. I suffered
constantly with headache, pain in back, shoul
ders, arms and chest; and could not sleep nor
lie down. When I had taken three bottles of
the medicine the periods were regulated, I
was not so nervous, could sleep well, and the
pain in side and bearing down had vanished.
My health is better at this time than it has been
ill five years.”
Dr. Pie-ce’s Pellets stimulate the liver.
ON EVE OF ELECTION
IN BUCKEYE STATE
Chairman Dick Predicts Big
Republican Plurality.
CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN QUIET
Besides a Full State Ticket and Mcip
hers of the Legislature There Are Full
County Tickets to Be Fleeted—Mc-
Kinley Principles the Keynote.
Columbus, 0., Nov. 4.— The apathy
that has prevailed during the present
campaign in Ohio continues up to the
eve of the election. The campaign has
been as quiet as it was short. While
the Republicans are confident of win
ning they fear that the small vote may
greatly reduce the pluralities which they
expected on the state ticket aud proba
bly make the result in the legislature
close on a joint ballot for senator.
The Democrats are depending on the
traditional results of the “off years in
Ohio,” and opponents being the great
est sufferers from the shortage in the
vote. They say the Republicans are
having troubles in all of the larger cities
on whicn they depend for their plurali
ties, that the rural districts are Demo
cratic and are not disturbed by local
difficulties as are the cities, and that the
accidents are all their way.
Local Affairs Come Up.
Local affairs enter into the election
tomorrow more than usually. Besides
a full state ticket and members of the
legislature there are full county tickets.
In Cincinnati the vote on the extension
of the lease of the Cincinnati Southern
railway is a most important factor. In
Cleveland Mayor Johnson’s taxation
theories and factional troubles compli
cate the situation. In Toledo the old
centennial controversy and in Columbus
“local option” and other complications
are diverting attention from both na
tional and state issues.
The discussions have not been on the
usual linos of specific issues. The Re
publicans accepted Senator Hanna’s ap
peal to “Let well enough alone,” and
the Democrats replied “Let us do bet
ter. ”
McKinley Priuciples Keynote.
In his last appeal to voters today,
Chairman Dick of the Republican state
committee repeated the keynote of
standing by the principles of McKinley
and supporting President Roosevelt in
carrying out the same. Chairman Dick
predicts a larger Republican plurality
than two years ago and a majority of 11
senators and of 30 representatives, or 41
on joint ballot if a full vote is cast. Sec
retary Gilliam and Colonel W. A. Tay
lor estimate the reverse and Taylor
gives further on a plurality system of
percentages in the shortage of the vote.
FIVE TICKETS IN FIELD.
Expected Total Vote In lowa Will
Not Exceed 440,000.
Des Moines, Nov. 4.—With the cold
weather predicted for tomorrow, it is
the general opinion that the vote for the
selection of state officers will be small
compared with one a year ago and
even less than three years ago. There
are five tickets in the field—Republi
can, Democratic, Populist, Prohibition
and Socialist.
The apathy which has existed from
the start has continued to the end.
There has been no prominent issue be
fore the state and the only speaking
campaign conducted has been that of
the Republicans, the Democratic candi
date, T. J. Philips, being content with
a “handshaking” tour of the state.
The total vote anticipated will not ex
ceed 440,000, as compared with 529,000
one year ago. There will be chosen a
governor, lieutenant governor, superin
tendent of public instruction, railway
commissioner, judge of the supreme
court and members of the legislature.
All concede that A. B. Cummins (Rep.)
will be elected governor and his major
ity is estimated by the Republican state
chairman at 77,000, while the Demo
cratic chairman is willing to concede
40,000.
Both Sides Claim Kentucky.
Louisville, Nov. 4—Democratic and
Republican leaders were at headquar
ters bright and early this morning and
both sides reiterated their claims of ma
jorities ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 in
the city. The Democrats appear more
confident than the Republicans, but the
Republicans have worked harder than
for years. Outside the city and through
out the city tnere has been almost no in
terest and no surprises are looked for in
the legislative races. . The weather all
over the state this morning is bright and
cool and all indications are for fine
weather tomorrow.
Elections In Colorado.
Denver, Nov. 4.—Only county offi
cers are to be elected in Colorado to
morrow aud in most of the localities the
campaign has been made on local issues.
There has been a bitter contest between
Republicans and Democrats in Ara
pahoe county, which includes the city
of Denver, and both sides claim to have
the advantage.
Minor Elections in Kansas.
Topeka, Nov. 4.—Only minor elec
tions will be held in Kansas tomorrow.
A law passed last winter provides that
county elections shall be held at the
same time as the state elections, which
occurs next year.
Suicided In Sensational Way.
Vancouver, Wash., Nov. 4.— Private
Eugene Lansing, Seventh infantry, a
convalescent from Company D, Twenty
first infantry, Manila, committed sui
cide in a sensational manner as the flag
was being lowered. As he was stand
ing on post headquarters steps he drew
a revolver from uis pocket aud shot
himself through the heart. No motive
is known.

New York, Nov. 4.— According to
The Herald’s Paris correspondent the
French cruiser Admiral Charner, which
had been waiting instructions at Port
Said since Thursday, has left ostensibly
for Toulou, but it is thought possibly
she has really gone to join Admiral
Gaillard's squadron.

TELL SENSATIONAL STORY.
Plot to Collect Life Insurance by
Alabama Parties.
Gadsden, Ala., Nov. 4. — Since the re
ported drowning of Mrs. Bettie o>llier
of Union Grove, in the Tennessee river
near Paint Rock, many sensational re
ports have been current, based on the
facts that a $5,000 life insurance policy
had been taken out by her only a short
while ago.
The Union Central Insurance com
pany, through its general and special
agents, has investigated the case and
obtained affidavits from Charles Amos
and wife of Charlottesville. Mrs. Amos
is a sister of Bettie Collier. The affi
davits go to show that a conspiracy had
been formed to collect insurance on her
disappearance and that Amos was to
have been paid a portion. Amos says
that ho took Mrs. Collier in a skiff a
short distance, landed her safely, rowed
across and ti<%w out some of her wear
ing apparel and both their hats. He
reached a shallow place near the bank,
got out and overturned the skiff and
cried for help. Will Barber was wait
ing on the bank and went with him to
spread the alarm.
Mrs. Collier is said to have been seen
at the Amos home since the alleged
drowning.
PENSION MONEY PAID.
State Auditor of Alabama Sends Out
13,362 Warrants.
Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 4—State
Auditor Thomas L. Sowell has sent 13,-
862 warrants for confederate pensions to
the probate judges of the different coun
ties of the state to be delivered to the
beneficiaries. The 18,362 warrants rep
resent $257,961.65, which the state of
Alabama is distributing this year among
disabled confederate veterans aud their
widows and children.
Since the pension money was prorated
weeks ago, the warrant olerk in the
auditor’s office has been kept very busy
drawing these warrants and they have
just been completed. They have been
sent to the probate judges who will in
turn deliver them to the persons wUo
are entitled to them. Then the pen
sioner will send them to the state treas
urer and get his money. As an audit
or’s warrant is negotiable they may be
cashed at the home of the pensioner.
FALL FESTIVALCLOSES.
Montgomery's Street Fair Not a De«
elded Success.
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 4—The fall
festival has closed. It has not been as
complete a success as its two predeces
sors, and it is not likely that another
will be attempted. The fair association
may come out free of debt, but publio
sentiment runs strongly against the
license in which the younger folks are
tempted to indulge.
The redeeming features were the boat
races and the vaudeville performance at
the Auditorium. The latter was really
a treat, and the former seems likely to
eventuate in the organization of a boat
club and the cultivation of the aquatio
tastes of the community. The manage
ment has done remarkably well, work
ing against a quiet opposition through
out.
BIG COTTON FIRE.
One Hundred Bales Destroyed at
Jackson, Ga.
Jackson, Ga., Nov. 4—About 100
bales of cotton on the Southern depot
platform here were destroyed and badly
damaged by fire yesterday. It is not
known how the fire caught, though it is
rumored two little negro boys were seen
to fire it. The depot was saved by citi
zens after all freight had been moved
out and much of it damaged. Had the
depot burned it would have been impos
sible to save the stores of R. W. Mays,
N. R. MoCord and J. A. Plunket and
the railroad warehouse.
The cotton burned for hours, though
several hundred bales were dragged off
the platform and hauled to places of
safety. The loss is not known, but is
estimated at over $5,000. There are no
waterworks here.
Qualified Denial is xiaae.
Sheffield, Ala., Nov. 4—The state
ment sent out from Huntsville, Ala., to
a number of newspapers to the effect
that the Southern Industrial association
would disband after itß next meeting in
Memphis, as coming from Colonel W.
