FRIDAY, TTLY 12, 1907 THE TWICE-A-WEEK TEEEGRAPBA. WYNNE MEETS TRAGIC DEATH HE WAS STANDING ON RUNNING BOARD WHEN TENDER LEFT RAILS OF NEWLY LAID TRACK C. E Wynee, foreman of the work ing gang of the HRlI-Parl:er Con- tr;- ting Company, met a tragic death last night at 10:30 o'clock, a hen the tender attached to an engine, upon whose running hoard he r.as -landing, suddenly left the rails of a newly lair track, throwing hint In Its path and crushing him almost beyond reeognl tlon. There were no eye witnesses to th*- accident, but It is stated by workmen present that Wynne had taken h> pioee upon the running board of tin tender for the purpose of riding down the trac kto give instructions to' some workmen. The track was very rough not being sufficiently timbered, and l> Is thought that this was the cause of the tender lealvng the track. The en gine was running at a very slow rate of speed ar.d the shout uttered from the lips of the dying man'caused the engineer to bring the engine to a quick halt. As soon as possible the body wot extricated from beneath the tender, an dfrom the horrible condition lr which It was discovered. It is evident that Wynne’s life was crushed out in stantly. The body was brought to the Ba> street crossing later, where it was taken in charge by Undertaker Jesse n. Hart and borne to his establish ment on Mulberry street. Wynne was 16 years old. and was for many years s conductor In the service of the Central, his servicer having been loaned the flall-Parker company only recently. He lived at the corner of Arch and First streets where he leaves a wife. The funeral arrangements will lie announced later. CURED SIX AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING Chronic Stomach Trouble Pronounced Incurable by Physician Yielded to the Tonic Treatment Al though Patient Had No Faith In It. HARLAN SAYS HATE HAS NO SANCTITY UNLESS II IS JUSI WASHINGTON. July 11.—In an opinio; hanJcd down today for the Interstat< Commerce Commission by Commission? Harlan, the rule Is laid down that while » rate fixed by State statutes f>r a State tnmmlesinn "Is naturally and properly en titled to respectful consideration. It haf no greater sanctity, rr applied to inte* state traffic than a rate established hv : railroad company, and this commission would not hesitate, upon proper evidencf that a rate so established would be un just. either to a carrier op to a shipper, to refuse to accept It as a basis for Ax ing an Insterstate rate." The opinion In which tile foregniny announcement was made, was In the cas. of the Hope Cotton Oil Company against the Texas and Pacific Railway Company and the SI. I/Ouis. Iron Mountain am’ Southern Railway Company. The com plaint alleged that a joint through ratr of 67 cents per hundred pounds on cotton seed In earlolads, charged by defendant? from points north of Sherveporl via Tex arkana to Hope. Ark., was unreasonable and discriminatory, and that 17 5-K cents per hundred pounds would be a fnit rate. After the complaint was filed th< defendants put into effect a Joint throng! rate of 30 cents per hundred pounds. The commission holds that the SO-cent rnte is unreasonable, nnd that it should net exceed 17 R-10 cents, which is the sum of the local rates. Tile carriers are or dered to put the reduced rate In force on or before August 6. "For six years I suffered untold nlsery from stomach trouble.” says Mrs. H. P. Flanagan of Canton, South )\kota. "although I was treated by our physicians. No two agreed as to he nature or cause of my disease. One aid 1 had ulcers of the storrtach. an ther that it was chronic stomach rouble and incurable, another called .t neuralgia. "The r«ln was dull, not sharp, and . hen I walked or rode I noticed it was great deal more severe. It was re eved when I rested or would lie lown. I had no appetite and did not •are to eat at all. I tried to eat to keep up my strength, but the pain was there whether I ate or not. I cas run down in strength and weight. "My husband read of Dr. Williams’ ’ink Pills and persuaded me to try hem. When I began to take the pills had no faith in them whatever but had found no relief in anything else, -o I tried them. I took about three oxes and am so well now that I eat everything I want to. I have no rouble with my stomach and have no ioubt that tny cure is complete. My funeral health is. good and I have ruined in weight. I can and do recom mend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to any me suffering with stomach trouble.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills do not sim- .|y deaden pain; they cure the troub- 'e that causes the pain. They are guaranteed to contain no narcotic, stimulant or opiate. They have cor rected serious disorders of the stom- .iche, have revitalized the nervou-- sys- om and restored to health sufferers from severe nervous disorders. For -heumatism. indigesttion. nervous headaches. many forms of weakness rnd debility Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are recommended even if ordinary remedies have been tried without re lief. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by ill druggists or sent, postpaid, on re ceipt of price. 50 cents per box, six koxes for S2.50, by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company. Schenectaday, N. Y.

O. 8acon was re-elected United States Senator today by separate vote in both Houses of the General Assembly.

Mr. Edwards of Habersham moved that the House disagree with the ad verse report of the committee on his bill providing for the rotation of judges of the superior courts. He spoke in favor of the bill while Messrs. Hall of Bibb and Adams of Chatham spoke against it on the ground of inexpedi ency and impracticability. At the con clusion of the discussion the Howe adopted the adverse report, thus killing the bill. Protests against the State prohibition bill from the Savannah Chamber of Commerce, the Savannah mass meet ing of citizen- and business men and the Georgia-Carolina Fair Association of Augusta, and requests for the pas sage of the same ’bill from the citizens of Statesboro, were read in the House.

County, who are accused of shooting and near Griffin, and the resultant death of killing Hubert Posey on the road leading from Indian Head to Pisgah. on the night of January 18, for his refusal to marry Friscilla Bowie, the daughter and sister of the defendants.

ATLANTA, July 9.—Probably the first bill to be signed by Governor Hoke Smith will be the measure relat ing to Atlanta’s waterworks system. There was applause In the House this morning when Representative Madison Bell moved that the bill au thorizing the Atlanta bond issue for waterworks improvements be read a second time. The request was granted by unanimous consent, and the bill was read. It has already been favorably re ported by the general judiciary com mittee, and will be taken up tomorrow md put on tis passage. It will then be sent at once to the Senate and read there the first time tomorrow. Its sec ond reading will follow on Thursday and probably its passage on Friday, there is a chance of its reaching the Governor for his signature this eek. In this case, however, there is no op position to railroading the hill through because the members of the General Assembly are tired of running up igainst the muddy water proposition and they are willing to do anything in their power to relieve it. This bill simply authorizes the bond issue which was voted by the people for the improvement of the waterworks sys tem. The House and Senate do not pro pose to drink Atlanta’s muddy water. The House passed the following reso lution: "Resolved by the House that the Secretary of State be directed to furn ish for the use of the House pure drinking water.” In accordance with this resolution Secretary of State Phil Cook has en tered into a contract with the Bowden Felder’s Resolution Acted On. ATLANTA. July 9.—On chief inter est in the Senate today was the dis cussion of Senator T. S. Felder’s res olution providing for the appointment of a joint committee from the House and Senate to investigate the Georgia convict system and reporting to the General Assembly whether or not there is some means of employing the State’s convicts on the public roads. The discussion at times waxed warm. Senators Felder, Williford, AVilkes and Camp spoke for the reso lution. and Senators Brock. Hayes, Knight and Stephens spoke against it. JThe opponents of the resolution ob jected principally to the preamble, which recited the fact that it was against the public policy of the. State to let out its convicts for hire; that U was inhumane and all that sort of thing. Attention was also called to the fact that if the lease system was abandoned, the publie schools of the State would lose about $300,000 a year. The resolution was finally amended so as to provide for a eorpmittee of four from the Senate and five from the House, after which It was passed by a vote of 25 to 11. The joint com mittee 'will be announced within the next few days. Senator Boyd offered a resolution providing for a joint committee to In vestigate conditions in the counties of North Georgia as a result of the de struction from the fumes from the copper smelting furnaces just across the line in Tennessee. This subject has recently been in litigation in the United States Supreme Court, Georgia winning her contention. The resolu tion was referred to the general ju diciary committee. Senator Camp introduced a bill to require all railroads to furnish cars for the transportation of freight with in twenty-four hours of the time the demand was made, and to require that all freight shall be transported at the minimum rate of twenty miles a day. SEN. SCOTT’S ADDRESS TO STATE Gov. Smith’s Appointments. ATLANTA. July 9.—Governor Smith sent his. first appointments to the Sen ate today. The particularly noticeable feature was that the communication was an open one, and not sealed as has heretofore been the custom. Gov ernor Smith has adopted the rule of having ali his communications to the Senate open, then if there are any ob jections to any of his appointments, they may be made. The appointments sent to the Sen ate today, and which will be confirmed tomorrow, are as follows: Howell Cobb, reappointed judge of the City Court of Athens for the full term of two years. E. W. Jordan appointed judge of the City Court of Sandersvillo for the un expired term ending October 31, 1907. and for the full term of two years front that date. J. E. Hyman, who re signed as judge, was appointed solici tor of the same court, both for the un expired term and the full term of two years following. James Davidson was appointed so licitor of the City Court of Greensboro for the full term of two years. Doctors Could Not H#lp Her. "I had kidney trouble for years." ■writes Mrs. Raymond Conner, of Shel ton. Wash., "and the doctors could not help me. I tried Foley's Kidney Cure, and the very first dose gave me relief nnd 1 am now cured. I vannot say too much for Foley’s Kidney Cure.” It makes the diseases kidneys sound so that they will eliminate the poisons from the blood. Unless they do this, good health is impossible. H. J. Lamar & Co., near Exchange Bank. .Agents. Macon, Ga. Will Have to Borrow. ATLANTA. Julp 9.—State Treas urer R. E. Park stated today the in dications are the Governor will have to borrow $200 000. the full limit per mitted under the constitution, in order to supply casual deficiencies and tide the State over until the taxes begin to come In next fall. He thinks the income of the State between now and tax-paying time will fall fully that much short of the necessary expend itures. ATLANTA, July 10.—Adjutant Gen eral Andrew J. Scott, recently appoint' ed by Governor Hoke Smith, has Is sued the following Interesting and im portant address to the Georgia militia: State of Georgia, Adjutant General’s Office, Atlanta, Ga., July 3, 1907. Having been commissioned Adjutant General by his excellency, Hoke Smith, Governor and commander-in-chief Na tional Guard of Georgia, it is with sense of profound gratitude that the undersigned avails himself of the op portunity to extend his sincere thanks and appreciation to the officers and men of the National Guard and naval militia of Georgia for the assured sup port and co-operation that they have so cheerfully given. With a continua tion of the sympathetic co-operation of the officers and men and with the means available the undersigned will do everything in his power to provide the organized militia of this State with every character of supplies and equip ment essential to the proper mainten ance of the military forces, and as long as he is in office he will exert his every effort to bring the entire service to the highest state of efficiency. To this end the Adjutant General expects and should have the hearty co-operation of all officers and men. Prompt atten tion will be given to all matters re ferred to him and like promptness will be expected from officers and men. Discipline is fhe key-note to military excellence. In a higher sense, disci pline is the habit of unhesitating obe dience. The individual acquires the habit of' subordinating his own will and inclinations to those of his supe rior in rank: In this there is no yield ing of self-respect, dignity or personal rights. Subordination, In a military sense, must be understood to mean ready, willing and graceful obedience rendered on all points of duty by in feriors in rank to superiors. As mem bers of the National Guard and naval militia of Georgia, we owe twofold duties to the State, as citizens and sol diers. Of these duties, neither one conflicts with the other, and eonscien tious performance of these duties a: soldiers makes the more valuable citi zen to the State. The military and naval forces of this State should be fostered by all patriotic persons, and we should all strive to bring about such a state of efficiency in both es tablishments as will merit the favora ble opinions and respect and good will of all the people of this commonwealth. A. J. SCOTT. Adjutant General. Engineer Asa Akin, of Columbus, who was standing by his freight engine on the side track. The north bound Southern passenger en route from Columbus to Atlanta, struck the switch at 6:30 o’clock, and the last two cars split the switch. The south oound freight was standing on the side track awaiting the passing of the passenger, and the engineer of the freight, who was standing by his engine by the switch, was killed In the wreck age.

Ayers, Fourteenth Cavalry, has been ordered before a retiring Doapd at the army building in New York city July 17 next. The board will make a thorough examination of Col. Ayres physically and mentally with a view to ascertaining whether he Is eligible for retirement. The immediate cause for the order was the publication recently of an In terview with Col. Ayres in which he is alleged to have criticised army methods in discussing the trouble be tween Mrs. Ayres and the military au thorities at West Point. NEW YORK. NEW YORK, July 11.—The cotton mar ket was fairly active during today’s trad ing with fluctuations nervous ana irreg ular. The close was steady at an ad vance of 1 point to a decline of 10 points, most of the active months being within a point or two of last night’s closing fig ures. Sales for the day were estimated at 400,000 bales. / The market opened steady at a decline of 2a6 points on rather lower cables, and continued good weather in the South. At first there was some irregularity and during the early session prices worked up to a net gain of about 6a7 points on the active months owing to reports of very heavy rains In Texas, one point reporting S inches. But it seemed that this precipitation was localized and the list eased off sharply during the middle of the day under continued selling by the leading interests who are' said to have turned from the bull to the bear side, and scattered liquidation. Around 11.70 for October or about 7al0 points net lower and some 65 points off from the best prices of the season, the market was steadied by covering and recovered most of the loss in the late trading on sup port attributed to New Orleans houses and bullish messages from there regard ing crop prospects. July closed with the bid price showing the maximum decline of 10 points, but this was largely nomi nal and 10 points under the lowest sale reported during the day. Receipts of cotton at the ports, today were 1.651 bales against 2.150 bales last week and 2,765 bales last year. For the week (estimated) 15.000 hales against 13.428 bales last week and 27,736 bales last vear. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 136 bales against 7S6 bales last year, and at Houston 448 bales against 6SS bales last year. Movement at the Porta. Receipts and Exports. Today.

Cock rell of Missouri, now a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission, has regained his health sufficiently to par take of his usual noonday lunch—two apples and a sack of peaunts, which during his thirty yeara official resi dence in Washington, most of the time as United States Senator, were his only diet for the noonday meal. Senator Cockrell says he believes there is more nutriment in a sock of peanuts than in a pound of beeksteak. and that they are easier to get. Last winter when he was stricken with ill ness his physicians ordered him to drop apples aqd peanuts for a while. It was a hard task. Recently when he was advised that he could resume his favorite bill of fare he was happier than a boy with his first pair of red-top boots.—Wash- jryfrin correspopjj^it Kwm fiitf -4< INDISTINCT PRINT
