MOONSHINE DISTILLERY
DESTROYED BY OFFICER.
Valdootft, Ga., May 11.—Depu
ty Marshal Sutton has returned
from Milltown, having been cull
ed there by :i message from Mar
shal Shaw informing him tout a
moonshine distillery hu<l been lo
cated in the swamp of the Alupa-j
bn river. The Milltown marshal
and a friend found the still while
out fishing.
It is believed to be a still that
has been doing a land office him*
iipss there. The officers sot a
watch, but were unable to connect j
anybody with it. They located
fifty gallons of beer and offered ft ;
up as a libation, pouring it upon '
the ground. They also smashed
the still, which was quite a pre
tentious affair.
The still was found in a great
jungle, the officers having to go
about, one hundred yards in a boat. j
The river, was rising and they j
came near being swamped. On
their return trip they landed
several hundred yards below the
point which they intended to 1
reach, the boat, becoming un
manageable m th<* swift current, j
Marshal Sutton is sure the owner
of this still is the one who has
been giving so much t rouble there, j
but he has no idea who the owner

ODD QUESTION OF LAW
SETTLED BY HIGH COURT.
Atlanta, Ga., May 18. —The su
preme court decided today that,
when a prisoner is convicted of
voluntary manslaughter and he
applies for and is granted a new
trial that he can be legally tried
! for murder the second time.
The question was raised in the
case of Solomon Brantley, con
victed of voluntary manslaughter
on an indictment for murder in
Washington county. The court
of appeals granted a new trial.
When the case was called for a
second trial, John R. Cooper, rep
resenting the defendant, made a
J plea of former jeopardy, on the
ground that tho previous convic
tion amounted to an acquittal of
murder charge ; that the prisoner ;
could tie tried for nothing higher
than manslaughter.
A demurrer made by the solid-j
tor general was sustained, and Mr. I
Cooper appealed. In an exhaus
tive opinion the supreme court;
settles this odd question of Oeor- ;
gia law, bidding thnt no lormer;
jeopardy plea is valid when made |
j following the granting nf a new
trial by the prisoner’s request.

SAYS PROSPERITY IS
AHEAD OF THE NATION.
Washington, May 18. —Jas. J.
Hill, the railroad magnate, called
On President Taft today. 11 o ex
pressed the belief that if the tariff
agitation was cut otV short, that
if the oratorical steam in congress
was shut off, the country would
begin a great ora of prosperity at
an early date.
“All eyes are turned on Wash
ington,” said Mr. Hill.
“Some people seem to think!
that legislation will cure the tooth- j
ache, set a broken limb, or make
crops.
“Talk and agitation here in
Washington keep people in sus- i
pense, make them forget, their!
j business and hope for some logisrj
| lative cure-all. What we want is j
!to have the tariff agitation over j
I with and lot, the people get back
to work and the great wheels of
progress to turn. Then things
will began to hum. The outlook is j
good in all directions.”
Fpaakjng of the possibilities of
agriculture iu the west and the ,
south, Mr. Hill, who himself is a
farmer, owning one farm of 20,-'
(XX) acres and another of 0,000,!
said that these two sections are
. coining forward by leaps and
bounds.
He declared that the south is i
struggling to restore the soil which !
was exhausted by her improvident
methods of agriculture before the
war.
He predicted a groat future for
the south.

Nervous
Prostration
“I suffered so with Nervous
5
I’rostration that 1 thought there
*! was no use trying to get well. A
• friend recommended Dr. Miles'
“ Nervine, and although skeptical
, j at first, I soon found myself re
! covering, and am to-dav well.”
MRS. I). 1. JONES,
5800 Broadway, Cleveland, O.
Much sickness is of nervous
1 origin. It's the nerves that
, make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and 4he kidneys filter the blood.
It anv of these organs are weak,
j it is the fault of the nerves
J through which they get their
1 strength. Dr. Miles’ Nervine is
1 a specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
1 Therefore you can hardly miss
I it if you take Dr. Miles’ Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
jour money.
