LOUISVILLEsTO HAVE
BIG EXPOSITION,
Louisville, Feb. 14 —A national
exhibition is proposed for Louis
ville, Ky., in 1915. It will be
known as the Lincoln-Davis ex
position to mark the 50tii anni
versary of the end of the civil war.
Directors of the Louisville Con
vention in an announcement to
day call attention to the fact that
both Abraham Lincoln and Jef
ferson Davis, heads of the two
governments opposed each other
from 1861 to 1564, were natives of
KentucKy and the claim that
Louisville is the proper place for
such a exhibition. It is probable
that co-operation of the federal
government will be asked.
“Now that it has been definitely
determined to hold the Panama
exposition in San Francisco,”
says the announcement, “all the
vast expense of country east of
the Rocky mountains is left ‘ex
pasitionless. J ” It then argues
that the 50th anniversary of the
close of the four years of strife
between the states should be
fittingly observed, that no more
suitable method than a world’s
fair can be found and that Ken
tucky, as the birth-place of both
President Abraham Lincoln, of
the United States, and President
Jefferson Davis, of the Confed
erate states, is the proper place to
hold such a celebration. One of
the features proposed is a grand
reunion in which survivors of both
the Federal and Coiife'nerate
armies shall participate.
That federal aid will be sought
by the Louisville promoters is in
dicated by a comparison which
they make between the amounts
of money turned into the national
treasury by Kentucky and Cali
fornia-
NEGRO SUSPECTED OF MURDER.
Swainsboro, Ga., Feb. 17. —
Sheriff Fields has gone to Still
more in an effort to apprehend
Dan Mosley, who, it is believed,
very heinously murdered his wife,
Minnie Mosley, last Saturday
night a week ago.
Mosley and his wife had been
visiting at Still more and left
there together to return to their
home in Bulloch county. Nothing
more was heard of them until
yesterday Minnie’s body was found
in a decomposed state in a thicket
at the head of a branch about two
mile from Stillmore, in an un
frequented spot, by some rabbit
hunters. Her head had been beat
en until tnere was nothing left of
it hut her lower jaws, and she had
been stabbed a number of times
in the breast.
Nearby was a spot which looked
as if their had been a struggle,
there being found a knife which
had belonged to Dan, and some
hair combs out of the woman’s
hair. It was known that Dan and
his wife were having some trouble
over her going to a convention
which he had forbidden her to at
tend, and it is probable that they
renewed their quarrel on the way
home, with the result above men
tioned.

ATHENS FIRE,
Athens, Ga., Feb. 16. —The en
tire plant of the Empire State
Chemical Company was destroyed
by firejliere tonight with a loss
estimated at $500,000, partly
covered by insurance.
A stiff wind caused the flames
to gain such headway before the
full force of water was turned on
that it was impossible for the
local fire department to check the
spread of the fire.
The blaze started in the mill
where the ingredients composing
the fertilizers are ground and is
believed to have been caused by
broken electric wires.
Nearly 500 employes, mostly
negroes, were at work at the time,
the factory being operated day
and night, but all escaped witti
out injury.
The warehouse adjoining, which
was lilled with an immense stock
for the spring trade, and all its

was still burning and ollicers of
the company estimated the loss

Terrell County during the past
six months,

Carolina have recently bought
large tracts of land in this im
mediate section and are opening
lip farming operations on a large
scaie.
The fact that Terrell County is
I the banner cotton county of the
state, to-gether with the large
yield of corn made here during
the past two years, makes Terrell
County lands look very.attractive
to prospective purchasers.

consummated have been those
made through a local real estate
firm.

sold W. 11. Gurr the Roberts
place, live miles from Dawson,

Prevent and
Relieve Headache
“It gives me great pleasure to
be able to refer to Dr. Miles'
Anti-Pain Pills as the best rem
edy we have yet had in our
house for the prevention and
j cure of h„eadache. My wife who
has been a constant sufferer for
a number of years with above
complaint joins me in the hoj>e
that they may fall into the hands
of all sufferers.”
JOHN BUSH,
Watervleit, Me.
Used Them Four Years.
“Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
are the best I ever tried for the
relief of headache. I have used
them for nearly four years and
they never fail to give me relief.
I have tried many other rem
edies, but have never found any
better.”
JOSEPH FRANKOWTCK,
854 Trombly Av., Detroit, Mich.
There is no remedy that will
j more quickly relieve any form
' of headache than
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills.
The best feature of this re
| markable remedy is the fact that
it does not derange the stomach
or leave any disagreeable after
effects.
Druggists everywhere sell them. If
' first package falls to benefit, your drug
