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.

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 js.

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. Notice.

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. HOAD NOTICE. 1 Georgia—Montgomery County. T. B.
