WANTS A HAND
Hat Aafced to «B Mad* Party to tha
8uit of the Central Railsoad Agsinat
the M, D. and 8. and th*. Mayor and
Council of Macon.
Judge Emory Bpeer yesterday or
dered the mayor and council of Macon
and the Central railroad to appear on
the 7th day of December and show
cause w^y the Georgia Railroad and
Ranking Company should not be made
a party In the aultl of the Central rail
road againat the Macon, DubUn and
Savannah railroad and the mayor and
council of the city of Macon.
The suit of the Central involves the
title to parts of the right of way grant
ed to the M., D. and S. by the city
council some time ago. That of the
Georgia Railroad and Ranking Compa
ny entered yesterday is «■» similar one
and the claim is made that the Georgia
railroad owned right of way from the
i Oemulgee river to Seventh street by
1 right of grant made by the Macon city
council to the road In 1*81.
The entry of this suit makes the lit
igation relative to the lands now occu
pied by the M.. D. and H. as a right of
way near Central City Park very com
plicated and It is now arranged In the
federal courts to be argued on Decem
ber 7th. At this tlm pa< cording to the
docket the suit of the Central against
the M., D. and H. and the mayor and
bell will also be heard.

Maine Woman's Thrilling Experience
Duplicated in Macon.
There are scores of .families In Ma
con and nearby towns who will read
with interest the wond< rful experience
of Mrs. A. L. Carlton, one of the best
known women In Rockland. Me. Her
statements are confirmed by the phy
sicians who treated her and by C. H.
Pendleton, the drugglr* who sold her
Ml-o-nn. nature’s cure for indiges
tion.
Mrs. Carlton says: “l suffered with
stomach trouble for eight years, grow
ing worse all the Urn". Three of the
best doctors In Maine diagnosed my
case as cancer of the stomach and de
clared I could not live two months.
Utterly dlscourfiged with their treat
ment, I began using Mt-o-na and com
menced to gain at once. At this time
I was reduced to almost skin and
I tones, ns 1 had lost nearly mo pounds
during my sickness, but when ! began
to take Mt-o-na, my flesh was built up
and I gained 22^4 pounds the first
month. When I discharged my physl
clans, I was suffering great pain and
distress, and vomiting from two to six
times a day, but nfter the first weeks
use of Mi-o-na. the pain ceased and
the vomiting stopped entirely. I have
taken only six packages of these won
derful tablets, but my health Is about
restored and I firmly believe that Ml-
o*na saved my life."
Mallory II. Taylor is local agent for
Ml-o-na. which sells for BO cents a
bc#x. and offers It under personal guar
antee that if It does not cure the worst
form of stomach trouble nnd resulting
disorders, the money will he refunded.
Th© People of Murray County Would
J-ike to Have This Decided.
ATIiANTA, Ga., Nov. 29.—The peo
ple of Murray are just now Quite
anxious to know who la the real, all
wool and a yard wi<3« treasurer of that
county. There are two claimants to
the office and both argue that they
have been appointed treasurer by or
dinary J. T. Overby. In other word*
there Is only one offee and two men
who claim It, both with the same
title. It seems that In February last
B. A. Gregory, the treasurer of Mur
ray county, died. For some reason
the ordinary did not order an election
to fill the vacancy. He Just let the
matter stand open and the ofTice re-
main vacant' It is charged that he
did this, so as to make some sort of
political deal with young Gregory, the
son of the deceased treasurer, so os
to get him the office by appointment
If in him the Gregory family would
support him for re-election to the of
fice as ordinary of the county of Mur
ray. Things are said to have rocked
along quietly, the office remaining
vacant, until some time In July or
August, when he appointed young
Gregory to succeed his father in the
office. By deferring action Overby
held on to the patronage of the ofTice.
Now while the appointment of Greg
ory Is said to have ocourred In July or
August, no record of the appointment
of any one to the office of treasurer of
Murray county was received or the
executive department of the 'State of
Georgia until about three weeks ago,
when a letter was received from Or
dinary Overby stating that M. H.
Williams had been apointed treasurer
of Murray couny and had taken the
oath and made the required bond.
Hon. Bam P. Maddox, of Dalton, a
friend of Gregory, was at the capitol
today for the purpose of looking Into
the records, and presenting to the of
ficials of the department Gregory’s
side af the esse. Mr. Maddox says
that Gregory was appointed by Over
by and that he took the oath and
gave the bond and supposed
along that he was the treasurer of
the county.
Recently, however, he says, Greg
ory has been Informed by Ordinary
Overby that he has appointed Wil
liams to flit the ofTice. Mr. Maddox
says that Gregory Informs him that
he was sworn Into office and furnished
the requisite bond and that when he
asked the ordinary for his oommla-
lon that official stated that he did not
need any, ns he was only filling the
unexpired term of his father, and
that having taken the oath and made
a bond, this would be sufficient to
hold the office. Mr. Maddox says that
Overby, while admitting that he ap
pointed Gregory, says that he did not
qualify In the time prescribed by law,
and that in consequence he hnd to
appoint Williams.
Mr. Maddox says that he Is satisfied
thnt the whole trouble Is due to poll
tics. He says that Overby was de
tested for election by a Republican,
and that the ordinary being inclined
to the opinion that the Gregory fnm
lly did not come up in a solid line for
him. gave the office to Williams. The
wrangle may go Into court, hut the
case could not be disposed of before
the new treasurer comes Into office In
January next.

Children'* Many Misfortunes.
In the ages of children up to twehra
years, their misfortunes, from baby-g
prickly heat to the boy*a open sore,
are many. Few parents realize the
therapeutic value of sulphur for skin
diseases and Impure blood.
Hancock’s Liquid Sulphur, Nature's
Greatest Germicide, Is Indlspensablt In
a home where are children—It may bo
taken Internally or applied direct to the
affected parts.
Here Is th* opinion of Mr. H. J. La
mar. Vlnevllle, Macon. Go.: We used
your Liquid Sulphur on our one-year-
old baby, who suffered Intensely from
prickly heat over her entire body. A
half doaen applications In two (lays en
tirely relieved her and she slept sound
ly. You should recommend Liquid Sul
phur strongly to mothers. It will prove
a blessing to every family with small
children.
