Washington, D. G\, May 27. —Accord-
ing to' information which reached
Washing byway of New York there is
a serious movement on foot among
prominent Democrats to prevent, if
possible, the nomination of William
Jennings Bryan for the Presidency in
1908. One reason for the opposition to
Mr. Bryan is that his government j
ownership of railroads proposition and
his initiative and referendum idea are
altogether too radical, and that the
Democrats could not present a platform
containing such declarations before the
people and expect to win. The second
objection is that having been defeated j
twice, he would be something of a
“hoodoo” if nominated again.
The tactics to be employed by those
who are opposed to Bryan’s nomination '
are somewhat similar to those invoked
by Republicans, who do not want Pres- '
ident Roosevelt to dictate the nomina- 1
tion of his successor to the Republican
National Convention. That is to say, j
the favorite son game will be played,
and large crop of candidates put in the
field. It is already proposed that Ohio
should put forward former Attorney j
General Undson Harmon; that Dela
ware should present United States
Senator George Gray ;Texas should oiler
I
Senator Charles A. Culberson; Georgia
should indorse Gov. Hoke Smith, for
mer Secretary of the Interior, and Mis
i souri present Gov. Polk.
The plan, as reported, is to create a
! field whose aggregate strength will ex
c led that Os Mr. Bryan and insure his
defeat for the nomination.

If You Read This
It will be to learn that the leading medi
cal writers and teachers of all the several
schools of practice recommend, in the
strongest terms possible, each and every
ingredient entering into the composition
of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia,
catarrh of stomach, "liver complaint,”
torpid liver, or biliousness, chronic bowel
affections, and all catarrhal diseases of
whatever region, name or nature. It is
also a specific remedy for all such chronic
or long standing cases of catarrhal affec
tions and their resultants, as bronchial,
throat and lung disease (except consump
tion) accompanied with severe coughs. It
is not so good for acute colds and coughs,
but for lingering, or chronic cases it is
especially efficacious in producing per
fect cures. It contains Black Cherrybark,
Golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stone root,
Mandrake root and Queen’s root—all of
which are highly praised as remedies for
all the above mentioned affections by such
, eminent medical writers and teachers as
Prof. Bartholow, of Jefferson Med. Col
lege; Prof. Hare, of the Univ. of Pa.;
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben
nett Med. College, Chicago; Prof. John

others equally eminent in their several
schools of practice.
The "Golden Medical Discovery” Is the
, only medicine put up for sale through
druggists for like purposes, that has any
such professional endorsement—worth
more than any number of ordinary testi
monials. Open publicity of its formula
is the best possible guaranty of its merits. *
A glance at this published formula will
show that "Golden Medical Discovery”
contains no poisonous, harmful or habit
forming drugs and no alcohol—chemically
pure, triple-refined glycerine being used
Instead. Glycerine is entirely unobjec

in the cure of all stomach as well as bron
chial, throat and lung affections. There
is the highest medical authority for its
use in all such cases. The " Discovery ”is

medicinal roots and Is safe and reliable.

AMERICUS GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 28. 1907.
LOVE STORY OF M’KINLEY’S
X
President’s Care for Wife Was Touching and Beau
tiful.
His Sweetheart Until Death—Spirit of Her Youth and Her Tove Remained
Untouched Despite Sadness of Their Early Married
Tife—Children and Tlowers Her Tavorites.
The peculiar pathos that was attached
to Mrs. McKinley in the eyes of the
country at large has its root in a love
story that will take its place among the
classics. On the part of President Mc-
Kinley it w as a single-minded devoted
ness, that gathered an ever-increasing
tenderness from delicacy of the wife,
whose hopes of motherhood were buried
and whose mind, as if arrested on the
threshold of that deepest experience of
her motherhood, was still held in the
thrall of youth.
On her part it was a love of obsolute
dependence and childlike trust.
Through all her life her eyes have re
tained the clear, unshadowed softness
of the girl; the charming pink of her
cheek was that usually known to the
dawn of maturity.
Her gentle smile, the ingenuousness
of manner, the modulated voice, ail
I
gave President McKinley the sweet
heart of his boyhood, who, if she could
not share the cares of the state and
must be protected from every alien
look or word, could yet win him from
all other consideration to make her
happy.
! In the hour of her affliction the
bereaved wife voiced the whole craving
i
of her nature in that one pathetic sen
tence: “I want to see the Major.”
But when she had seen the major for
! the last time, when they had placed
I him in the vault at Canton, where she
I has just died, the national memorial
to her husband is nearing completion,
she turned her thought to what she
migLt do for him. Daily she visiled
his tomb to stay awhile in thought, and
to leave her beloved flowers for her
beloved dead.
Loved Flowers and Chi dren.
Next to children Mrs. A cKinley
always has loved her flowerr. She
used to mingle the two fondnesses by
I giving her blossoms from the White
House conservatories in splendid lar
gesse to the little ones, and she had
proteges of all kinds in the hospitals
and other institutions, and among her
personal friends.
When Easter time came the First
Ladv would sit all day at the window
to w atch the egg rolling on the law n
and laugh as gleefully as the young

Stomach Troubles.
Mrs. Sue Martin, an old and highly
respected resident of Faisonia, Miss.,
was sick with stomach trouble for more
than six months. Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets cured her.

want and am the proudest woman in

of the artillerymen drawn up to await

were too much for Mrs. McKinley to

it Is Dangerous to Neglect a Cold.
How often do we hear it remarked
“It’s only a cold,” and a few days later
learn that the man is on his back with
pneumonia. This is of such common
occurence that a cold, however; slight’
should not be disregarded. Chamber

WHEELS OF JUSTICE IN
A WHIRL AT TEMPLE
' Session of Court Begins
Monday
1 ABLE CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY
Judge Eittlejohn Lays Emphasis Upon
the Investigation of County Af*
>
l fairs Especially as Regards
the Convicts.
At the opening of the May „ term of
i Sumter superior court yesterday
. Judge Z.A. Littlejohn was particularly
’ strong in his charge to the grand jury
relative to the investigation of affairs
of the county,and especially as regards
the chain-gang systen and the records
of that department, reported kept at
• Plains.
This emphatic charge was expected,
i and the court went very thoroughly
therein.
Judge Littlejohn stated that recent
occurrences relative to the manage
ment ot the convicts had been brought
to his attention though publication in
the press, and while he knew nothing
as to the correctness of the allegations,
he wanted them fully investigated.
He referred at length to the numer
ous wholesale escapes, and instructed
the grand jury to-find out fully who
was responsible therefor.
The court likewise referred to the
statement made that records of the
county commissioners office were now
kept at Plains instead of at the court
house in Americus, the county seat of
Sumter, The grand jury was fully ad
vised as to its duties in the premises of
this statement is true.
The charge throughout, covering the
subject referred to and matters gener
ally embraced in charges to that body,
was strong, clear and concise;
The grand jury organized by electing
Mr. W. A. Wilson foreman, and the
body is made up as follows:
W. A. Wilson, J.A. Davenport, G.W.
Montgomery, G. D. Jones. W. T.
Mims, G. A. Harper, E. A. Stephens,
l A. 1). Gatewood, E. C. Webl?, C. S.
Hogg, W. T. McMath, A. B.Perry, W.
E. Brown, A. Ryiander, W. C. Carter,
E. R. Stewart, W. M. Jones, W. R.
Rattle, G. A. Perry, D. S. Derrick, J.
W. Shiver, Jno. F. Daniel, Lee Allen.
After organizing, the grand jury
proceeded to get to business. It is an
exceptionally able body, and the affairs
of the county will be looked into
fully.
The court then proceeded to the trial
of civil business and during the day
disposed of a number of cases upon
that docket. This week will be devot
ed wholly to civil business, while the
criminal docket will probably Lie taken
up Monday next. Both dockets are
unusually light at this term.
The session will not extend over
three weeks at the farthest.
LAWYERS TO ATTEND CONVENTION
Americus to Be Represented at Bar
Meeting.
Despite the fact that Superior court
is in session here, it is quite probable
that several Americus attorneys will
attend the meeting of the State Bar
Association this weeky/
The convention will be held in Sa
vannah Thursday and Friday.
Owing to the short length of time
that the delegates will have to partici
pate in any social features it was de
cided not to attempt an elaborate plan
of entertainment.
The only occasion on which the
j visiting lawyers will be the guests of
the Savannah Association will be a
steamer ride from Tybee, Friday after
noon to Thunderbolt.
The complete programme of the con
vention is as follows:
Annual address, Hon. Champ Clarke
of Missouri.
President’s address, Judge A. L.
Miller, Macon.

elect Hoke Smith, Atlanta,
j “The History of the Establishment
of the Supreme Court of Georgia,”

Sciatica Cured After Twenty Year
of Torture.
For more than 20 years Mr. J. J. B.
Massey, of 3322 Clinton St., Minnea
polis, Minn., was tortured by sciatica.
The pain and suffering which he en
dured during this time is beyond com
prenension. Notning gave nim any
permanent relief until he used Cham
berlain’s Pain Balm. One application
' of that liniment relieved the pain and
made sleep possible, and less than one
bottle has effected a permanent cure,
j Mr. Massey relates his experience for
the benefit of others who may be sim
ilarly afflieted. If troubled with scia
tica or rheumatism why not try a 25c
bottle of Pain Balm and see for your
