SLAYER OF MADDOX
SENTENCED TO HANG
ATLANTA, Au*. 26,—The legislative
board of tht Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers called on the railroad
commlsteon today to protest against
the reduction of passenger rates from
I cents a mile to % cents. The matter
was not under consideration by the
commission, but the engineers were
received and stated that they desired
to be heard. They declared there were
t"** # sixteen hundred engineers In the state
1 I LMUL11L with an equal number of firemen, and
sixteen hundred conductors and more
than three thousand trainmen. With
their families these railroad men rep
resented sixty thousand resident of
Georgia. The poslton of the engineers
Is that If fares are reduced many trains
now run at no profit or at a loss will
be taken off and the trainmen will lose
their places, while the public will be
Inconvenienced. The commission stated
that the engineers would be given a
full opportunity to be heard when the
matter is taken up and ample notice of
the date will be sent out. Those on
the delegation were R. L. Palmer, of
Augusta; W. B. Tarver and H. B. Tay
lor. of Savannah; T. C. Waters, C. E.
Adams and Charles Barrett, of At
lanta; W. IS. Callaway, of Columbus,

The American Indian accustomed
from time Immemorial to go barehead

The close atmosphere caused by our
“civilised'* head-gear Is conducive to
tho breeding of Inllnlteslmnl 'germs
which dig Into the scalp and thrive on
the sap of the hatr-root.
This true cause of baldness Is of re
cent discovery and explains the non
success of all hair-vigors which treat
ed baldness as n functional disorder.
Newhro’s Herplelde Is n direct exter
minator of the germ. "It destroys the
