been assured that they will get the vota

Rules Committee,
BT. LOUIH. July When the com
nilttee on rules met. the Illinois meni
l»er, V. P. Morris, proposed that a elm
pie majority only be required to tioml
nets candidates and not a two-third:
majority, us has been the practice since
1K3S. "We ought not to expose our
selves." saya O. W. McMillan of Ten
nesaee. "to the charge that we desire
to nominate our candidate by any de
vice contrary to the usual course. I am
from a state whose people went Park
•r, the delegation wants him, and 1
want hint, hut we would Injure him and
ourselves were we to change the tlme<
honored-rule."
On a show of hands the chairman
uinted four for the change and twen
ty-four against. The rules of,the last
convention were adopted without
hange. They are adapted from the
rules of the house of representative
under the Crisp speakership.
The committee by a unanimous vote
decided to recommend to the conven
tlon that the delegates from Porto Rico
be permitted to vote. A prdposal that
th «me privilege to* given to the del

ATLANTA, July 6.—A change In
the management the state farm in
Baldwin county yesterday morning
caused a meeting of 126 male convicts,
and a pretty stiff talk from Chairman
Joseph B. Turner of the prison com
mission had the effect of bringing the
men to their senses, and giving them
to understand they were sent there
not to run the farm, hut to work under
th«i orders of others. It seems that
yesterday morning the office of super
intendent at the state farm changed
hands, Mr. B. C. Slater going out. und
Mr. C. 8. Roberts succeeding him.
When the convicts were called out of
their quarters to go to work, they
announced that they would not do so,
on the 'ground of the change in the
management of the force. No doubt
they thought that they should have
been consulted about the matter, but
they were not. poslbly on account of
some oversight, and most probably for
some other reasons, owing to the fact
that ths commission proposed to run
the farm acocrdlng to Its own notion.
At any rate the men refused to come
out of the building when called upon
to do so, and matters were allowed to
remain In this condition for a few
hours when Judge Turner reached the
form. He at once took charge of the
situation. He Informed the strikers
that If they did not come out and go
to work at once every member In the
gang would be whlpi»ed to a finish, or
words to that effect. He told them
that he would stand no foolishness

MII.I.BDGEV1LLE. Ga.. July «.—
The official, at the Hate prison farm
neer thl. city, have had considerable
trouble with the negro men convict*
the paat two days. On Saturday tail
Mr. Roberta of Hancock county, rellev-
ed Captain Slater, who haa had charge
of the male convlcte at the farm for
Rome time who had become very much
nttached to him and the reputation
which came to the new mar. was that
he was u hard boss and the negro men
kicked at his being put over them, but
went to work, but for some reason
which some did not think Justifiable.
Mr. Roberts whipped two of the negro
men Saturday. Monday morning all
but the trusties and seven men refused
to go out and work and made all kinds
of threats and they were locked up and
kept In close confinement and fed on
bread and water. They made threats
of burning the building, and extra
guards, well armed, have ^been con
stantly on hand.
Judge Turner, chairman of tne pris
on commission, came to the city this
morning and went out to the farm and
after talking to the men convinced
them that It was to their Interest to
go back to work und that he would see
that they were not cruelly treated, so
all hands went back to work this af
ternoon.

Nellie Curtain,
Nothing In so weakening to the hu
man system as the constant loss of
mucous. Catarrhal inflammation of the
mucous membrane produces an exces
sive formation of mucous. Whether the
mucous membrane be located in the
head or pelvic organs, the discharge of
mucouB la sure to ocur.
This discharge of mucous constitutes
a weakening drain; the system cannot
long withstand the loss of mucous;
hence it is that women afflicted with
catarrhal affections of the pelvic or
gans feel tired and languid, with weak
back and throbbing brain. A course of
Peruna is sure to restore health by
cutting off the weakening drain of the
dally loss of mucous.

I must take a long rest, as I had been
unable to work for over a month and
could not regain my strength. I could
not sleep and was in a very nervous,
high strung condition. I decided to try
Peruna. I began to Improve very short
ly and In less than two months I was
able to take up my work again, and felt
better than I have.for years."
Thousands of women have catarrh of
some character and don’t know it. We
have thousands of testimonials like the
above touching the merits of Peruna as
a remedy for all catarrhal diseases. Do
not delay. Buy Peruna today, for a day
gained means a day so much nearer re

CONVICT’S CONDITION
STILL THE SAME
The condition of Stokes Wright, the
convict who was shot In an attempt to
escape from the convict camp road
gang a few days ago, remains unchang
ed. Wright Is still confined at the city
hospital and Is receiving the best of
medical attention. Notwithstanding the
care that Is being taken of his Injuries
there Is yet a question of much doubt
as to his recovery. The wound, which
is In the back. Is a severe one and de
mands much attention. It Is thought
that one of the vertebrae has been In
jured. thus effecting the spine.
Baker Carmichael, another of the
would-be escapes. Is also confined In
the sick ward at the hospital. He Is
suffering from a wound In the left leg,
caused by a Winchester ball. Carmi
chael was at first confined at the hos
pital room-at the county convict camp
but his Injuries seemed to grow worse
Instead of better and for this reason
was moved to the hospital.
