“I was taken with Rheumatism when I was twenty years old, and
endured awful suffering from the disease for nearly fifty years. During
that time I was treated by regular physicians, and consulted the best
specialists in New York and Philadelphia, but found no permanent re
lief. The pain was all in my knee joints, and was at times almost un
bearable. I was unable to go out of doors, and could only hobble about
mo house with a cane.-J finally bought some of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Palo People, and before I had used the first box I noticed an
improvement. After I had taken two boxes I could walk without a
cane, and went out of doors freely. Well, X continued using the pills
and by the time 1 had taken thirty-six boxes I was entirely well, and
suffered no pain at all. (Signed) Mbs. J. E. Jewett.”

Columbia, S. C., Jan. 16.—Governor
McSweeney has received from Mr. Pem-

Mr. Jones desired should rest among

It is one of King George’s warrants
for the paying of certain persons whose
names are set forth for “victualing our
forces within the provinces of South
Carolina and Georgia with ail species
of provisions between Jan. 1 1761, and
March 25, following, both dates in

The document is dated, “Court of St.

€)ti iho Polygamous Status of the Utali
Congrrssinaii-Klect, There Was No
Divi.-i >n t and a Formal Siatemeutoi
Facts Accompanies the R port.
Washington, Jan. 17.—The special
committee of the house of represema
tives to investigate the case of Brigham
H. Roberts of Utah, today reached a
final conclusion. On the polygamous
status of Mr. Roberts the committee was
unanimous and agreed upon a formal
statement of- facts. On the question
of procedure to be adopted the com
mittee was divided.
The majority, consisting of all the
members except Littlefield of Maine
and DeArmoud of Missouri, favored ex
clusion at the outset. Messrs. Little
field and DeArmoud will make a mi
nority report favorable to seating Rob
erts ou his prima facie rights and then
expelling him.
The statement of facts found by the
committee is as follows:
“We find that B H. Roberts was
elected as a representative to the Fifty-
sixth congress from the state of Utah
and was, at the date of his election,
above the age of 25 years; that he had
been for more than seven years a nat
uralized citizen of the United States
and was an inhabitant of the state of
Utah.
“We further find that about 1878 he
married Louisa Smith, his first and law
ful wife, with whom he has ever since
lived as such, and who, since their mar
riage, has borne him six children.
“About 1885 he married, as his plural
wife, CeMa Dibble, with whom he has
ever since lived as such and who since
such marriage has borne him six chil
dren, of which the last were twins,
born Aug. 11, 1897.
Another Plural Marriage.
“That some years after his said mar*
riage to Celia D.bble he contracted an-
outer plural marriage with Margaret C.
Shipp, with whom he has ever since
lived in the habit and repute of mar
riage.
“Your committee is unable to fix the
exact date of this marriage. It does no:
appear that he held her out as his wife
betore Jan. 1, 1897, or that before that
date she held him out as her hnsband,
or that before that date they were re
puted to be husband and wife.
‘That these facts were generally
known in Utah, publicly charged
against him during his campaign for
election and were not denied by him.
That the testimeuy bearing on these
facts was taken iu the presence of Mr.
Roberts and that he fnlly cross ex
amined the witnesses, but declined to
place himself on the witness stand.”
The culminating session of the com
mittee today followed many prolonged
executive sessions, which left no doubt
as to the attitude of the several mem
bers, with the exception of Mr. Miers of
Indiana, who had been out of the city.
He returned today and it was de
termined to bring the matter to a direct
issue. Accordingly when the commit
tee met Mr. McPherson of Iowa offered
resolution for the exclnsion of Mr.
Roberts.

Mr. DeArmoud immediately proposed
substitute recognizing the constitu
tional rights of Roberts to take his seat
on bis credentials and providing for his
expulsion.
There was no discussion beyond in
formal remarks and the vote was first
taken on Mr DeArmona’s substitute,
Mr. Littlefield joining him in the affirm
ative and the others voting in opposi
tion. The vote was then taken on Mr.
McPherson’s to exclude, resulting as
follows:
Yeas—Tayler, Ohio; Frear, Morris
and McPherson (Reps.); Lauliam aut,
Miers (Dams.)
Nays—Littlefield (Rep.); DeArmond
(Dem.)
Chairman Tayler was authorized to
prepare the majority report. It will be
ready in a few days and the prospects
are that the subject will be brought be
fore the house early uext week.
Mr. DeArmond will submit the views
of the minority. He will include the
exhaustive review of the law, covering
about 70 typewritten pages, prepared by
Mr. Littlefield. The main point of this is
that the house cannot add to the re

faots.
Sir. Winkler Introduces a M-iasarc
Drafted by Tiliman.
Columbia, S. C. f Jan. 13.—Represen
tative Winkler has introduced a dispen
sary bill which was looked forward to
with considerable interest, as it was
said to be the production of a caucus of
dispensary supporters, headed by Sena
tor Tillman, held here in November.
The bill proposes to retain the state
dispensary headquarters and the board
of control; abolishes the county boards;
abolishes the state dispensary fund, di
viding the profits among the counties
and towns. This cuts off the propor
tion of counties that have been partici
pating in the dispensary school fund.
It is provided that the present board
of control shall serve one their terms;
then a new board elected for five years,
giving $5,000 bond each. Sealed bids
for liquor shall be advertised for, con
tracts awarded every July and success
ful bidders to give $50,000 bond.
No “case goods” are to be bought, «x-
cept on special order of consumers. A
liquor commissioner muse be elected by
the legislature with an annual salary of
$3,000. He must be a total abstainer
and must give $25,000 bond.
There will be no county boards ol
control, the county dispensers to be ap
pointed by the governor “with the ad
vice and coiisent of the senate.” The
profits will be divided among the schools
of the counties in which they are made.
No liquor is to be rectified or watered at
distiiieries, the expanding process to be
done at the state dispensary.
Prohibition counties must enforce the
dispensary law; failing to do so, con
stables will be maintained therein at
the expense of said counties.

Question Answered,
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of us
ing anything else for indigestion or
biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard ol appendi
citis, nervous prostration, or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of indigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches
You only need a few dose3 of
Green’s August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with
you. Sample bottles at H, b. mcmas-
ter, Waynesboro, Ga., and EL Q.
