A Matter of
Satisfaction
It’s a mighty small man our suits will not suit in
quality, style and price. We don’t try harder
than any one else to sell goods, but it is very sel
dom that any one leaves this store without being
thoroughly satisfied.
We are not selling shopworn
bankrupt suits, but new,
stylish, seasonable suits and
overcoats.

The outlook for the wreck victims at
the hospital was reported by the sur
geon in charge as more hopeful last
night. The negro woman who is sup
posed to be fatally injured was slightly
Improved, but her chances are still
doubtful.
Superintendent Clement Saussy of the
Tybee division of the Central, Is quoted
In the Savannah Press os having given
the following account of the wreck:
"It was a pretty bad wreck. The em
bankment down which the cars rolled
about 20 feet high. There was a
theatrical company in the day coach
and some of them were hurt. When
Conductor Beach passed the smoking
compartment at the end of the sec
ond-class coach he heard a rapping on
the glass window and there lie found
James Freeman, traveling passenger
agent of the Southern railway, who had
the theatrical troupe in charge, pin
ioned In the debris, which was on Are.
The conductor promptly knocked the
window In with his foot and Freeman
and another man were saved. Mr. Free
man was hurt in tho head and on the
right side. I saw him at the hospital
and understand he is getting along very
well. Mr. Freeman was once with me
on the Tybee railroad nnd I was much
Interested In his condition.
"As soon as Superintendent Epperson
reached the scene of the wreck I re
tired and left the management of af
fairs to him.”
Mr. Evan P. Howell of Atlanta, £
director of the Central, says Mr. Saus
sy, by his prompt action and quick
work, saved the two sleepers from
burning.

Stricture and Varicocele
Cured Painlessly
There is no necessity of submitting ton painful surgical operation If you aro
afflicted with Stricture or Varicocele. By an original method of treatment per-
♦rf* 5 ' •footed by me. and used exclusively In my practice I
u. cure those diseases gently, and In a majority of cases
without loss of time from business. My treatment Is
painless, there la no cutting or cauterizing, and tho
cure is thorough nnd permanent.
Those af dieted with Stricture or Varlcocle should;
bowaro of the many ready made, quick cures so ex
tensively advertised. Your condition needs special
attention, and experiments often result In permanent
Injury. I give each case careful study and prepare
treatment specially to meet all symptoms. I have
treated and cured moro cases than any other phy
sician or specialist In tho United States, and my
method of treatment has been given the severest test.
I can cure you In the shortest time consistent with
medical science, but I never make false claims of
quick cures, ns my high professional reputation has
» been built up solely by honest nnd legitimate methods.
I charge nothing for consultation and advice. Bend
for sclf-exiimlnatton blanks explaining my perfect
system of home treatment. My specllaty also Includes

The $500 necessary for securing the

in Macon is assured.
The county commissioners' special
committee consisting of Messrs. Artope,
Davis and Bailey, met yesterday morn
ing with the executive committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, and after the
matter was discussed the commission
ers* committee, which comprises a ma
jority of the board, agreed to recom
mend to its board that the $250 asked
from the county be donated or appro
priated. Mayor Bridges Smith was pre
sent, as a member of the Chamber of
Commerce committee, but as a mem
ber of the city council he stated that he
was confident that the city would put
up its $250.
It was agreed by all parties that the
mile of street and road would be ex
ceedingly cheap at $500, even if there
was no great good to come of the les
sons that would bo taught in the dem
onstrations and the interest that will
be stimulated In road*building.
At council meeting last night the
matter was laid before tho mayor and
aldermen, and It was referred to the
finance committee, which will meet and
agree on a report this afternoon.
At 8 o’clock this morning Messrs. Ar
tope and Bailey, accompanied by Clerk
8. C. Davis and Superintendent Lon
Wimblsli, will go up to Atlanta via

the Southern railway for $25,000 damages.
Sho claims that about four years ago,
while sho was driving a horse near tn*»

ened the horse, causing him to run away
and throw her out of the buggy. She
claims that she wus Injured so as to ne
cessitate the wearing of a plaster of paris
cast or Jacket, and her nervous system
^Tho^efenianTcontenda that If the In
juries were sustained as claimed, the Jady
was at fault, and sho tried to force her
horso to go up to the engine when sho
found that he. wus uXraid of it. While
she w'as trying to master him and hold
up close to the engine, there was a sud
den slamming of freight cars which forced
the steam to escape, and that the engi
neer was In no way blamnble.
The suit Is now on trial In tho United

several days.

Judge Bpror yesterday, issued an or
der releasing old Aunt Harriet Mors.
who was a few days ago convicted
illicit distilling in her kitchen at Mil-
ledgftvllle. He said she was the #ec
woman that he had been called upon to
sentence during his seventeen years on
the bench, and he did not at all relish
the duty, especially as she was one of
the good old-time darkies around whoso
life clustered so many memories.
Aunt Harriet had been In the moon

to the contention of the prosecuting of
fleers. Her husband had diKIIIed the
whisky during hie life, and when

work, peddling out the stuff in the
