MANY MAYORS GOING
TO MEETING
Municipal League in Session at
Norfolk Today.
NORFOLK, VA., Sept. 17.—(Spec
ial.) —Problems of municipal govern
ment of vital importance to the cities
of the country will be threshed dur
ing the session of the eleventh an
nual convention of the League of Am
erican Municipalities, opening in
Norfolk tomorrow. Mayors and muni
cipal officials from all parts of the
United States will be here and will'
be given a hearty reception. Tomor
row's program including an obser
vance of American Municipal day at
the big fair.
Among the important matters to be
considered by the delegates is that
of municipal government by commis
sion or board, usually known'as the
Galveston plan, as against the me
thod of government by mayor, council
and aldermen. Another subject
which will come in for serious consid
eration is that of low fares for pub
lic service as against franchise taxa
tion, the viewpoints of which for the
purpose of the discussion will be the
suggestion that it is inequitable to
raise public revenues by franchise
taxation of this nature at the expense
of low fares and improved service.
Another important subject will be on
the merits and demerits of municipal
ownership of public utilities.
The entertainment features to be
provided for the benefit of the visit
ors include an oyster roast at Cape
Henry tomorrow and a steamboat ex
cursion to Old Point Comfort on Fri
day.
NEW ENGINES COMING
SCON TO CENTRAL
Twenty Five to Arrive Early
Next Week.
Twenty-five new engines for the
Central of Georgia will arrive in
Macon next week. They will be used
in the freight and passenger service
of the company, and as a result it is
not likely that the Central will do
like the Southern and the A., B. and
A., and lay off a number of their ma
chinists. These engines were ordered
last year and -when they arrived the
Central will probably have the finest
equipment so far as locomotives are
concerned of any railroad in the
south. It is to be hoped that some of
these new locomotives will replace at
least a few of the old passenger en
gines on the Southwestern division. It
is a fact that new passenger engines
are never put on this line, the new
ones going invariably to the Atlanta
—Macon—Savannah line, while the
old ones thus replaced are put on the
Southwestern division or some branch
line.
SNAKE ON HER NEST
BEATEN TO DEATH
Was Hatching Out Young Ones
When Found.
Lee Daniel came to town yester
day with the tale of a snake that is
in keeping with the gaieties of the
season. Lee is a worthy colored far
mer, and works at this season in
stead of going to mullet suppers and
razorfeasts, and it was while rebuild
ing a fence that he found a big
snake coiled upon a nest in which
reposed a hatful of eggs. Lee lost no
time in breaking up this “hen nest”
by killing the old snake and smash
ing the eggs. Each egg contained a
snakelet and in a day or two that
fence corner 'would have been alive
with wriggling snakes had not the
nest been destroyed.

DYNAMITE MAY HAVE
JARRED THE BRIDGE
As Fishermen Use Explosive
* Here Freely.
In the opinion of several here,
the explosion of dynamite may have
been responsible for the damage to
the Central railway bridge over the
Muckalee creek at Americus. It is
said that dynamite is largely used
along the creek by people engaged
in killing fish and these “pot hunt
ers” could have exploded a heavy
charge beneath the bridge timbers,
thus weakening them. The repairs
to the bridge were soon.effected and
no accident resulted from the weak
ened timbers.

OI K NATIONAL DANGER.
Time to Cry a Halt Before a Panic
Comes.
The business spirit is crushing out
the sweeter element of home life. We
are in danger of a great commercial
decline, because men, as a whole,
think only of getting wealth.
There are thousands, both men and
women, who do not take time to eat
properly. They rush through life, and
as a result we have an age of indi
gestion, nervousness, irratibility,
sleepless nights and morose disposi
tion.
With the discovery of Mi-o-na tab
lets, there is no longer any excuse
for one to have ill health from stom
%
ach weakness.
Mi-o-na strengthens the walls of
the stomach, stimulates the liver and
restores muscular contraction to the
intestines and bowels, so no laxative
is needed.
Sich headache, palitation, bad taste
in the mouth, yellow skin, irritability,
coated tongue and melancholy are a
few of the many distressing results
of indigestion. Mi-o-na never fails
to dispel all these troubles.
Dodson’s Pharmacy sells Mi-o-na in *
