10 INDICTED AS PRINCIPALS. IIAYES.BLIGF. AND LLOYDCHIRGEO WITH Y %RXADOE'S Ml RDER. Grand Jnry of the Superior Court 9b>r AH of Thom %ro Equally Guilt) Hoyei Fired the I’atfll MiotM and Illtgc and Lloyd " ere Present. Assisting in th** I onimis* sion of the trime-Gardner and Butler Indicted a* Vcceoorles After the Fact—Trial of the Trio Set for Th lira day—“Janie* Bunkum Indicted for the Murder of Hi* Brother. Seaborn Hayes. Joseph Lloyd and James Biigre were indi ed by the grand jury of the Superior Court yesterday afternoon for the murder of Lu dus V. Yarnadoe. Josh Butler and Edward Gardner were indicted at the same time for being accessories af ter the fact to this brutal and cowardly murder. The indictment returned by the grand jury against Hayes, Lloyd and Blige makes r.o distinction in the degree of their guilt, but charges them ail with being principals in the commission of the crime. Under the law there is no distinction as to pun ishment -between the principals in murder cases and accessories before the fact, and under the statement that has been made by Lloyd to the detectives he and Blige are equally guilty with Hayes. If the lat ter has committed murder, then the two former are. according to Lloyd, also guilty of the same crime. So the case is stated in the indictment. The pistol with which the mortal wound was inflicted is said in the indictment to have been held and discharged by the joint actions of all three of the men. While Hayes, of course, was the only one ■who actually did tire the weapon, the law attaches the same degree of guilt and re sponsibility to any others who were with him at the time, actively assisting and co-operating with him in the commission of the crime. Under the evidence, both Lloyd and Blige were present when the fatal shots were fired, and it was Blige’s pistol with which Yarnadoe was killed. Gardner and Butler are indicted for the part they played in shielding Hayes from the consequences of his crime after its commission and preventing his arrest by the officers of the law. It was in Gard ner's room in Perry lane that Hayes spent the nigh: following the homicide and the succeeding day; Butler received him at his house near the Ogeechee road on Monday morning, and if was here that Hayes was located and afterward ar rested. But one of the men wanted by' the po lice. James Blige. yet remains at liberty, and the indications are that he will not much longer be able to escape arrest. The grand jury spent about two hours in the investigation of the evidence in the cases connected with the murder of Motorman Yarnadoe and that of Jeff Buncorab. Buncomb was killed by' bis brother, James Buncomb, on last Satur day night, and against the perpetrator of this deed of violence also the grand jury returned a true bill, upon an indictment charging him with murder. For the two hours and a half which they spent in the jury room, the grand jurors were very busy men. A large num ber of witnesses were at the Court House Sot examination, among them Lloyd and Gardner. Lloyd is a negro youth about 17 years old. whose appearance would lead to the conclusion that his principal char acteristic was weakness, rather than a propensity for crimes of violence. Yet he has told a story that put himself as deep in the mud as it does Hayes in the mire. The case against Haves. Lloyd and Plige has been assigned for Thursday, but there are some chances that it will not berried on that day. Messrs. Twiggs' & Oliver and R. L. Folding represent the defend ants, and Judge Twiggs stated yesterday, in conversation with a Morning News re porter, that it would be impossible for him to enter upon the trial of the case with such brief time for preparation and consultation with the other counsel. He will oppose, therefore, the case proceed ing to trial on the day for which it has been assigned and will move the court for a continuance. It is possible that he will be able to make such a showing as will authorize Judge Falilgant in grant ing the postponement he will seek. It may be that the defendants will elect to sever their trial**, and that the cases will be considered separately. Unless Bilge is arrested before Thursday the case would have to go to trial, unless a postponem> nt is permitted, without him ot any rate. As has been stated, the public demand for a speedy trial of the murderers of Varnadoe is* trong\ land the solicitor general, imbued with something of the same feeling, is trying to gratify it. As a matter of course, this public demand will not be permitted to interfere with the ciue administration of the law end respect for the rights of the accused, and if Judge Twiggs can make, the showing he expects to make it may very possibly be that the case will not be, tried on Thurs day. f The killing of the motorman, under much tragic eircumetancea, has aroused a degree of interest that has not attended any homicide within the recent history of v the county. Not since Patrolman Jansen Neve wan shot down by Abe Small, a negro desperado whom he was attempt ing to arreat. has indignation been so strong. The men accused of murder will be ably defended, and it goes without saying that they will boas ably prosecut ed. For all of these reasons the ease bids fair to become n cause eelebre in the criminal annals of the Superior Court. ORDERS FOR THE SHOOT. Information From the Adjutant Gen eral Keaehen Officer*. General orders No. 14 from the office of the Adjutant General of the Georgia State Troops convey the information to the officers relative to the second annual rifle and carbine competition that is to be field at the Avondale range Sept. 3 and 4. The orders are signed by Col. George T. Cann, inspector general of rifle practice. The orders detail the matchet) that are to be shot, giving the firing rules and reg ulations that will prevail, and Indicate to what branches of the service the compe tition will bo open. The officer® of the military tnroughout the state had been * lgi*rly owaiting the information, and it will oe received with pleasure. Judging from the reports to that effect, 1t is probable that there will be many teams to enter tlie competition. The local companies h;.ve taken the matter up with a will, and from many of the neighboring places that boast of military organizations come statements from commanding offi cers of thtir intention to send teams to Savannah.

Alfred Herrington of Swains boro, who reached Savannah last night, says that a nephew of his, Manning Her rington, was shot and killed Saturday night at Gertman, Emanuel county, by a man named Berry Hall. The act, he says, was without provoca tion or excuse. The victim, together with a number of young people, had spent the evening at the home of Hall. The host had been drinking heavily during the course of the evening, and about 11 o’clock, when the party broke up and the guests were about to start for their homes. Hall was quite drunk, and used very objectionable language in the pres ence of .•ome of the ladies. Young Her rington. who was just about to get in his buggy, spoke to Hall about his breach of politeness, and asked him to desist. This remonstrance, it seems, so angered him that he toll Herrington that he intended to ehoot him. and immediately put his threat into execution by firing at him three times with a revolver. One ball struck the man in the right temple and caused almost instant death. Hall, after the commiss.on of the act, took Winchester rifle. and getting astride n mule, left his home, going in the direction of the Ohoopee river. At last iccouniti he had not been arrested. He is about 40 yars old, is 5 feet 5 inches high, is stoop-shouldered, has but one eye, and as lost one finger from his left hand. The mother of th* 1 dead man has offered a reward of SSO for the murderer, and it is expected that this amount will be sup plemented by the county authorities shortly. the ivdistrial association. Meeting Will Be (tilled nn Soon mm Members Return to C ity. There basing been some inquiry recent ly as to the intentions of the Savannah Industrial Association, it is staled on au thority that, owing to the absence from the city of many members of the Indus trial Committee the association will not b called together until later in the year when a full attendance of the members can be assured. The president, Col. J. H. Estill, has re ceive! reports from all the canvassing committees, or at least, all of those which have done anything. The reports show the total amount of subscriptions to be something over $26,000. By the conditions under which the subscriptions were made no assessments can be collected until the amount subscribed has 'reached $50,000. This the case, the hands of the e mmittee are tied at present. An effort may be made this fa 1 to get the sub scribes to consent to a change so that work may be begun, if desired, with a lesser amount subscribed. The indications are that the industrial movement will take on new' life when the members of the association return fiom their summer vacations. Many of the members of the committee are just a enthusiastic as ever and Just as much .etermined to push the work. ( HARLEM COLLMAN DEAD. Was Well Known Here anti Had Held \nrioun Office*. Mr. Charles Collman died early yester day morning at the St. Joseph’s Infirm ary, where he had been taken Sunday, roffering with an attack, of pleurisy. An operation was performed late Sunday aft ernoon, but was of no avail to save his iife, as he died a few hours after. Mr. Collman, who was about 45 years old. was a native of Prussia, but hail been in this country for a number of years. He was very well known and had at dif ferent times, held various public offices, being at one time, magistrate of the Sec ond Militia District, and for about ten years u deputy sheriff in the Superior Court. He leaves a wife but no chil dren. The funeral will take place this morn ing at 10 o’clock, from the home of the deceased, No. 245 Jefferson street. The arrangements are in charge of the H. G.

Garfun kel, Julius Stark. A. Peltz end I. Gott lieb, of the H. G. H., and Messrs. W. W. Osborne, and Thomas Sweeny. The buri.il will be made in Laurel Grove Cemetery. TAKEN BACK TO DARIEN. .Sheriff Blount Taken Negroes Charg ed With the Murder of Hamilton. Sheriff Blount of Mclntosh county came to Savannah yesterday for the purpose of taking back to Darien with him the five negroes who were recently arrested in that town by Detective Stark and brought to Savannah for safe-keeping. He also took with him when he left last night West, the negro witness w T ho was brought from Darien Sunday by Detective Garrity. The men are wanted in Darien for the murder of Arthur Hamilton, a longshore man, which oicurred there a few weeks ngo. Nick White, one of the prisoners, made a confession here to Detective Stark that implicates in the killing at least one of the men that was in jaii here, and oth ers whose identity has not yet been estab lished. Sheriff Blount said yesterday that addi tional evidence against the men had been discovered in Darien since they had been brought here, and there was no doubt that the state would make out a strong case against some of them when the trial came off. THEY EXPECTED ORDERS. Some of tlie Military Were Looking for Blot Duty. A number of the members of the mili tary beenme unduly excited yesterday | over a report that they were likely to be ordered to Screven county on account cf the trouble with the negroes that was pre- lpitated by the attempt to arrest one of iheir number. At one of the armories preparations went on apuce, and several men were busy loading cartridges for some lime. The military seemed ready enough to lespoml to any call that might have come. The men appeared confident that it would be a matter oi a few hours only before a call from he Governor for their services in suppressing a riot would be received. TAKEN HACK TO CHARLESTON. Negro Wanted In Thut City for Mur der Arreateil Here. Grant McNeill, colored, who is wanted in Charleston for the murder of another negro, was arrested here yesterday by De tectives Murphy and Garrity. Detective Miller of the Charleston police depart ment reached Savannah last right, and took the negro back to Charleston with him on a later train. McNeill says that the shooting, which occurred on the night of July 22. was done in self-defense, but Mr. Miller says there is no truth In the story, that it was a clear case of murder, and that the coroner’s Jury rendered a verdict to that effect.

COL. .MERCER, PRES.. REPORTED I PON CHATHAM ACADEMY. Told the Board of Education That the Plans Are \ ery Acceptable. Boa rd Decided to Build New Srhool hoaies nt South Newington and tattle Park—Two Teacher* Re signed and Two Assistant* Elect ed—Dr. M. F. Dunn Elected a Mem ber of the Board to Succeed Dr. J. B. Rend. Resigned—President Mer eer Wan Authorised to Borrow Money to Meet Current Expenses. A report from the joint committee upon the re-buildirg of Chatham Academy was made at the meeting of the B ad of Ed ucation yesterday afternoon. Col. George A. Mercer, president of the board, reported for the conduce, and tho.-e pres ent to receive the report and transact the other business that came before the meeting were Messrs. J. R Sau=ay, B. A. Denmark, Henry Blun. J. H. Fs;ill, Lee Hoy Myers, M. A. O’Byrne, P. A. Sto vall and Dr. T. J. Charltcn. Col. Mercer stated that plans for the floors and the elevation had b en agreed upon for the new’ building. In every way, h j declared, the plans are acceptable. Their execution would result in a very handsome and convenient building. It is estimated. Col. Mercer said, that it will cost about $57,000 to carry out the plans, but it is his opinion that this amount wi 1 be reduced when bids have, been ad ver i ed for ant r ccived. It is to be regretted, the president said, that the now academy will not be ready for oc cupancy for at least a year. Superintendent Ashmore, to whom had been referred the petitions of residents at or near South Newington, Cattle Park and West Savannah for new' school build ings, reported. After considering the re port, the board decided to build new houses at South Newington and Cattle Park. This was upon motion of Mr. Denmark. Land for the sites has been donated, and the houses will be construct eel in accordartce with the uniform plan adopted some time ago for the country schools. The resignations of Miss Carrie A. Car ter of the Barnard Street School and Miss Maggie William of the Pooler School were read and accepted. Hiss Amelia Shumate and Miss Rachel Hinson were elected to fill any vacancies that may occur in the list of assistant teachers. Dr. M. F. Dunn was unanimously elect ed to fill the vacancy in the Board of Education that was caused by the resig nation of Dr. J. B. Read. The president of the board w r as ized to negotiate loans sufficient to meet its current expenses. The Eighth Street School is in process of construction and is a drain upon the revenues of the board. Were all the money that is due it in its treasury, however, there would be no ne°d to borrow. Both the county and the state are in arrears with the board, the two together owing it $45,434.18. This will not be available until the fall. CORCORAN LOOKING IP. Many Now Believe tlie Savannah Boy Will Win tlie Fight. Never has a prize fight created the in terest in Savannah that the go between Tommy Corcoran and George Pearce, which is on for Friday night at the thea ter. has aroused. It is clear, from the great amount of talk that is indulged in, that the biggest crowd that ever saw a fight in this city will assemble. For once it seems protable that the house wi.l pay, and the men will have a nice hunch of coin to fight for. The winner will pull down a pretty rake-off. Tommy Corcoran’s stock is g ing up in jumps. The game Savanna ha n has no ack of backers, and mon y on him is freely offered The sports appeared a hit leary for a t me, sive a few of (hem who 1 ave be n putting up their stuff in wads from the start, but they now say Cor coran will be more thon a match for the New Orb ans fighter, and they are confi dently looking for him to win out. A sort of revulsion of feeling has sprung up with some as to Pearce. When he first api>eared it was claimed that he looked every inch a fighter, and it was freely predicted that he would do Corcoran. Pearce has taken off seventeen pounds since then, however, and some of those same wise ones have changed their tune. They say he looks as though he were down too fine. That is.something that the night of the fight has to prove or disprove Both men are confident. They tell their supporters and backers that they are in to win. Pearce may be a good one, and there can be no doubt about that, for he did for Jimmy Ryan and other good ones, but that is the sort needed to lick Corcoran. Money is still offered and taken even, and it is not likely that there will be any odds offered either way. Pearce is not followed up in the bet he made that he would knock Corcoran out. ARK AFTER NOBLE GAME. Three Well-Known Savanna lilnn* Seek the Region of leeberffs. There were three passengers on the City of Birmingham for New York yes terday who have an interesting summer pregramme mapped out. The three in question are Rev. Charles H. Strong. rec tor of St. John’s Church, Mr. Frank C. Battey and Dr. J. G. Van Marter. From New .York they will go to Bos ton and thence to Yarmouth, N. S., where they expect, to ar;ive Aug 18. Aug. 19 and 20 they will spend in Halifax, where they will inspect the fortifications of the English Gibraltar on this side of the At lantic. Aug :1 they will be at North Sidney and Aug. 22 at Port uu Basque, Newfoundland. From thence they will go to the Log Head Hotel, Spanccbrook, St. George’s Pend, N. F., which wi.l be their head quarters for the ensuing thirty days. They propose to divide th ir time evenly between hunting caribou and fishing for salmon. All three of the paity have gone aftex big game before, ift the Rockies and elsewhere, and they anticipate the biggest kind of a time in bringing down the big game of far Northeast America. At their destination they will be fiOO miles north of Quebec, in the region of the Bay of Fundy, where icebergs are met with in July and th* tid> s rse to height of sixty feet. The s ctlon to which they are going has only recently been made ac cessible by railroad, and big game is said to be still plentiful. First Bale .Savannah River Cotton. Messrs.

There were further and interesting de velopments- in of the alleged min ister who recently left Savannah under mos: peculiar circumstances as was sta.ed in yesterday's Morning News. The man and his wife came to Savan nah from Baltimore about three weeks ago under contract for a two weeks’ engage ment at specially artists ar Gildea’s Al hambra. They, together with their child, boarded at the Alhambra about a week be fore th*ir engagement opened, which was yesterday night two weeks ago. The act was not a success and they were given their discharge at once. Mr. Gildea said yesterday that he thought neither the man nor his wife had ever been on the si age before, that their work was amateurish in the extreme, and that he had to ring down the curtain on them before the act was finished. From the Alhambra it seems th# 1 Plant ers’ Hotel was the next stopping place. An account of their experience at this hotel was told in yesterday’s account. So far no other hotel or boarding house has been heard from, but it is quite likely that there are other victims, as both the man end his wife spent fully ten days in the city after their ejection from the Planter**’. To a gentleman in the city the man con fided the story of his misfortunes, which show' that he was ttfe victim of circum stances, and that his acts, while, to say the least, shady, were the result of (he grim necessity of securing an existence for himself and family rather than de liberately to live easily by dishonesty. The story is a most pathetic one and might well excite the sympathies of even those who have suffered most heavily from his misrepresentations. Up to last March the man- was a reg ularly ordained minister of the gospel, nd had also quite a good reputation as a lecturer, being indorsed by some of the best known men jn this field, among them John Temple Graves of this state. In March, according to the story, he with drew from the ministry because he felt that he was not sufficiently in sympathy with his work, and consequently could not put into it the zeal and effort that he felt it should receive. He had with him while in Savannah his withdrawal card, show ing that his story was true, and show ing further, by the wording of the card, that he had been both previous to his res ignation. and at the time that the card was issued, in good standing, both as a minister and a man. It was after leaving the church that his bitter experiences began. He had hop ed to support himself and'family by lec turing, but, he says, he found the book- ing agencies of nil of the theaters and amusement courses closed (o him. and in a vain search for an opening, he drifted from city to city, until, while in Balti more with starvation staring him in the face, he accepted as a last resort the offer of an agency to take an engage ment at Gildea’s place, and came here on tickets furnished him by the proprietor of the hall. The man has prominent relatives, but it seems thnt family disagreements prevent him from appealing to (hem. The career, as far as is known, of the man and his wife, after leaving the Plant er's Hotel, was told in yesterday’s Morn ing News. This account evidently reach ed Jacksonville, for yesterday afternoon Secretary Johnson of the Y. M. C. A. re ceived the following telegram from the Huval Hotel at Jacksonville: “Did (he preacher imposter go under the name of Ferrer Martyn? Answer quick.” Mr. Johnson replied at once that such was the name. From the telegram it is quite probable that after leaving Savannah Martyn went to Jacksonville. The desire for an early reply would lead to the belief that he was stopping at the hotel from which the mes sage came and that 'he proprietor wished to know’ at once in order to take some steps about the matter. It is quite possi ble tnat there will be an interesting se quel to the story and none will be more interested in the denouement than the per sons who knew him here, and whose gym pathy he gained, in many cases, by his evident good breeding, and the equally pal pable fact that he was {Maying in excep tionally hard luck. DIED IN CLEVELAND. News of Death of Mr*. R. H. Miller Received Yesterday. News was received from Cleveland. Ohio, yesterday of the death of Mrs. R. H. Miller, wife of Mr. R. H. Miller, man ager of the Postal Telegraph Company’s branch in the Cotton Exchange. Mr. and Mrs. Miller wire on a vacation trip, and were at the time the guests of Mr. Mil ler’s relatives. There was nothing to indicate at the time of their departure that Mrs. Ml - r was to be overtaken by death. She was thought to he in good health, and both looked forward to a happy stay in the North. Her death was due to ty phoid malaria. It is understood that the remains will he brough to McDonough, Ga., the old home of Mrs. Miller, for interment. She leaves only h*r husband of her immedi ate family to mourn her loss. Mr. Miller hss the sympathy of his friends here in his bereavement. BICYCLIST’S CLOSE CALL. Young Lady Rider’* Narrow Eicope Yesterday Afternoon. A lady bicyclist had a narrow' escape from a serious, if no< fatal, accident yes terday afternoon by a collision with a buggy. The accident occurred at Dray ton and Liberty streets, shortly after 3 o’clock. The bicyclist was riding quite rapidly and attemp(ed to go between a buggy which was going south on Drayton street and a w'a.gon being driven in -the oppo site direction. She rode so close to the buggy that the handlebars of the bicycle caught in the wheel of the ocher vehicle and l>oth the woman and her wheel were thrown directly in the way of the wagon. The negro driver of the wagon managed to pull up his horse before the wheel struck the prostrate rider, but not before ic was within a few r inches of her head. Neither wheel nor rider was hurt.

Proprietors of Policy Lotteries Nabbed in the Recent Raid, . Sen tenced to Six Months in the County Jail by Judge Fulligant—They Are Also to Pay a Fine of SI,OOO and All Costs—L. J. Hodges Got Off NA itli the Pa>ment of the Fine—Julius D. liirseh Will Submit His Case to a Jury—Judge Falligant Everywhere Commended. A fine of one thousand dollars and the costs of the prosecution, in addition to a sentence of six months’ confinement in the common jail of Chatham county, made up the punishment inflicted by Judge Fal ligant upon two self-confessed violators of the gaming laws in the Superior Court yesterday. The men were Frank Fulton and W. Male Henderson, who were among the policy lottery proprietors who were nab bed by the sheriff and his officers on the occasion of the raid made during the early part of last week. The cases against these two men and those again*’. Julius D. Hirsch and L. J. Hedges had been assigned for trial in the Superior ‘Court yesterday morning. In answer to the call of their names, Hodges, Fulton and Henderson respond ed, but Hirsch was not in court. Mr. R. L. Coiding was present to represent Ful ton and Henderson, while Hodges was represented by Mr. W. F. Slater. When the attorneys announced that their clients wished to enter pleas of guilty upon the indictments that had been found against them by the grand jury, Judge Falligant prepared to pass sentence. Messrs. Coid ing and 'Slater advanced to the rostrum, with the apparent purpose of pouring a tale of woe and a plea for sympathy in the ear of the court. Such a tale and such a plea are altogether usual under such circumstances. Judge Falligant. however, seemed to be in possession of all the facts he cared to learn and he waved counsel away. Then he directed Hodges to stand up and im posed upon him a fine of SI,OOO and the costs of court, with a term of twelve months on the chaingang of the county in the alternative. Fulton and Henderson drew a breath or two of relief, but the relief they experienced must have been one of the most altogether evanescent and fleeting sensations they have ever known. To each of them Judge Falligant had about the same thing to pay when he passed sentence: “You have been up be fore me on several other occasions, charg ed with the same offense. The fines in flicted in the past seem insufficient to de ter you. from the further commission of crime. The sentence of the court is that you pay a fine of SI,OOO and all costs and that you be confined for the term of six months in the common jail of Chatham county.” The effect of the sentence upon the two men who received it was almost appalling. 1 han the men in their business nobody, probably, save the very wealthy, lives easier or better, and the prospect of six motnhs in the county jail was more, than lbey were prepared 10 stand. They had not expected to be sentenced to more than the payment of a fine and the term in jail was a blow that struck them in their tender eat point-their sense of personal comfort. Immediate efforts were made by their counsel to have the terms in jail struck from the sentences that had been im posed Mr. Coiding told Jud S e Falligant that his clients were quite wilting to sign a pledge never again to engage in gam bling within the limits of Chatham coun ty and to make any other promises of good behavior that could reasonably be required, but to all of these appeals the court was deaf. "The sentences must stand as they were pronounced," was all that he would say. Hodges paid his fine and was given his liberty. He announced afterward the lesson had been a wholesome one for him and that it would not be necessary to re peat it. Never again, he said, would be be concerned in the operation oi a policy lottery in this neck of the woods; the butcher business, which he abandoned for 'he uncertain dalliance with fortune in which he more recenily has been engaged, was good enough for him in the future’ Hodges seemed to think that he had got off remarkably light, and to be very well content. It was certainly due to the fact that he was not better known, officially, to Judge Falligant (hat permitted him to be let off upon the mere payment of a fine and costs. Hirsch had to be sent for by the sheriff and brought into court by a deputy. When he learned of the sentences that had been passed upon his companions he refused to enter a plea of guilty, as it had been un derstood he would do, though possibly not on his authority. Instead he gave bond for his appearance at the present 'term of the court, when he will appear before a jury and his case will be tried. His bond was fixed by the court nt $2,000. Expressions of full approval of the course that Judge Falligant had pursued came freely from he best people of Sa vannah yesterday. It was said generally that he had adopted a plan that would serve to break up public gambling and render the open and flagrant violations of the gaming laws that have been familiar to citizens here in the past impossible in the future. “Judge Falllgant’s course must receive the indorsement of every good citizen." said a prominent lawyer yesterday. “Ex perience has shown that appeals of any kind made to the gamblers themselves were utterly without avail, and baa point ed to (he inevitable conclusion that the only way to suppress the vice was to make it unprofitable to those who made it their vocation in life. No matter how’ large their fines were, nor how often these fines were inflicted, if the gamblers found (hemselves able to pay the fines and yet to live luxuriously and accumulate money on the remainder of their incomes, they were content. “They appeared in court year after year and paid their fines with becoming cheer fulness. carrying on their business regu larly between the time of their indictment and (he time of their sentence in order to raise money to meet thpse legal obli gations. Judg Falligant has seen that the way to stop the evil is 10 inflict a punishment that the gamblers will net regard with equanimity, but which they will shrink from having to endure. I firmly believe he has solved the problem.” Mountain Exenralon Via Central of Georgia Hniluny, August 22, lIMUt.

Everett City, Ga., July 21, 1900—I am a strong believer in and advocate of the use cf Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic. I know what it will do. I have tried it In Cuba and the low lands of Mexico. I have been a soldier in my time and have found the Tonic invaluable in cases of camp fever. Only those who have txen in the tropics as soldiers can comprehend the horrors of a fever-stricken camp, miles and miles away from its base of supplies. It was in such places that Johnson’s Tonic came in. You did not need any- Calomel or quinine or any other drug. Stick to the Tonic and you will be able to eat embalmed beef again.
