the trying ordeal through which ho
passed yesterday. In corAcrtlon with

grief Is pitiful. In d'scunlng hi* trou-

chokci with amonmi.
Today In. speaking of the Carnegie
notes h. vehemently declared that If

the hand of the law shokld be laid
upon Mrs. Chadwick. "Why should I
stand the brum of all thla troablo
whlrh haa been directly brought about

Continuing Mr. Beckwith said:

"I had every reuton to b*llcve that

Chadwick swore they were. Bhe
solemnly declared that ah. had. aran
Mr. Carn.gl. write hla signature on
them. To confirm thla »h« brought an
attorney with her who declared that
he waa th. legal tapraaetuattv* qf Mr.
Camrgla and this attorney Whoa,

that he knew positively that the sig
nature. were genuine.
"It Is true that we-Mr. Bprar and
myeelf—did en.loree the notes, hut of
irae wc had no Idea that they were

afterwards.
"Then, again, we had the positive
assurance of- Irl Reynolds, secretary
of the Wade Park Rank company at
Cleveland, that he had the securities
that Mr*, t'ha.lwick claimed he had.
"Oh. my .Oqd—" exclaimed the old
man. "If I could only have my Ilf. to

liver oil preparation, for. while the dis
agreeable taate of cod liver oil in en
tirely eliminated, It seems to retain all
the life-giving elements. It purifies and
enriches the blood, tones up the stom
ach and adds new life and vigor to
falling health and strength. I cannot
recommend It too highly."
We guarantee Vinol is the best
remedy for stomach troubles, because
where old-fashioned cod liver oil, emul
sions and sickening drugs upset and
derange digestion, Vinol finds a wel
come and is readily assimilated by the
weakest stomach.
As Vinol contains In a concentrated
form all of the healing and strength
creating elements of cod liver oil, ac
tually taken from fresh cods' livers,
but without oil or grease. It has genu
lne vital principles that enable it to
heal and tone up the Irritated, worn,
tired atpmach.
We wish every person tn Macon suf
fering with severe stomach troubles
would try Vinol. on our guarantee to
return the money If it fails. Mallory

Freight Rat, Conf,rvne,.
ATLANTA, Dec. 8—The citizens'
committee, representing the Atlanta
Freight Bureau. In Its demands upon
the railroads for lower freight rates
ror Atlanta, was tn conference with the
officials of the several lines running
into Atlanta nenrly all or today, morn
Ing and afternoon eeaslona being held.
Neither the officials of tbe roads Inter,
rated or members of the committee
wlU give out what haa been done, but
tbe popular Impression seems to
that an agreement has not been
reached. ■■■
It la aald that tn some commodities
the rates hare been reduced and on
others they are allowed to stand. But
this action of the road, does not ap
pear to meet the views of the membere
of the committee. They do not think
that the cut la deep enough, where the
knife haa been applied, and not aatla-
fled artth the action of the rood. In not
using tho knife more freely all along
the line. ,
To this coiflpbvlnt from the Atlanta
Freight Bureau it u said the road*
have to bo called off and a new start
well "e they can and not treat other
point* fairly. They aay, m It Is said,
that If tbe reductions proposed are not
satisfactory that the whole thing will
haev to be called off and a new start
made, tf anything el** U to be done In
the way of securing lower rates for
Atlanta through conference. Tbe com
mittee and the official, of the Itnra
will fcavb another version tomorrow
