DYSPEPSIA CUKE
DEFEN I) % NTS IN DODGE SI IT.
They ( lniin n l.cunl Title to the Land
In Dtnpute.
Dublin, Gn., Aug. 23.—Yesterday Special
Master J. N. Talley of Macon resumed
the work of taking the testimony in the
Norman W. Dodge cases.
The Laurens county defendants to this
suit deny most emphatically that Luther
A. Hall ever represented them in any ca
pacity or that they have any connection
with Lucius L. Williams of Telfair coun
ty, who was killed by Federal officers.
They say that Williams was perhaps a
bad man, and foi tli-ai reason Dodge cou
pled the suits against them with the one
aealnst Williams in order to cast a slur
upon thfir titles. At the time of Capt.
Forsyth's murder and Hail's conviction,
they say they did not know that Dodge
claimed their property.
None of the titles to this land has ever
been passed upon by the Supreme Court
for the reason that no claimant except
those in iossesslon ever presented him
self until 1894. Several cares similar, how
ever, did go to the Supreme Court and
were decided in favor of the parries hold
ing titles identical with the ones held by
the defendants in this case. Dodge rec
ognized this decree from the Supreme
Court and has ceased to claim this par
ticular property.
It se*ms that this property was once
owned by the Geo gia Lumber Company.
This concern failed, and to satisfy the
creditors, the land was sold of sheriff’s
sale. It w;>s purchased by various par
ties and in due course of time fell into
the hands of the defendants in this case.
The Georgia Lumber Company purchased
the property from Peter J. Williams, who
was granted it by the iate. Thus it will
he seen that a complete chain corats
down to the defendants di-ect from th’e
state.
The defendants say that the stockhold
ers of the Georgia Lumber Company fled
from Georgia after the collapse of the
cohcern and sod the land to the s<ate of
Indiana. It was af e wards discovered
that Indiana could not own land in Geor
gia and other i*artles secured the title
to the property, owned by Indiana. Later
W. 14. Eastman claimed the prop?ry and
sold Dodge 300.C00 a-res for sl,<o. It is
un ler this deed that Dcdge claims owner
ship. The question now i* from the de
fendants’ stundpeint, whether these sher
iff’s deeds and p aoeable possession since
1850 is a guod title or whether Dodge can
take the land with a deed given by the
Georgia Lumber Company after its col
lar ee

ller AVhn Not Held Snored.
Americus, Ga., Aug. 23.—Burglars made
an attempt early this morning to effect
an entrance into the residence of Chief
of Police Wheeler, situated in the center
of the city. Chief Wheeler and his son,
Chessley Wheeler, heard the burglars and
three shots were fired as they retreated,
though none took effect. The burgiary
was one of the boldest yet attempted
here. Several have been reported recent
ly-
Information was received here this after
noon of the romantic marriage in Cleve
land, 0., of Mr#. Jennie Ritter North of
Americus and Mr. E. N. Clarke, a promi
nent ciiisen of Albany, Ga. Mrs. North
was visiting relatives in Cleveland and
Mr. Clarke followed there recently, the
marriage occurring Tuesday evening.
They are at Niagara Falls and will re
turn shortly to Albany.
Rains fell in this section to-day, though
too late to benedt the cotton crop, which
is burned and blistered beyond resuscita

pression among many here is that the
yield will scarcely exceed half a crop.
ATTEMPTED AN ASSAULT.
The Screams of the Girl Scarril Avrny
the Negro.
Dublin. Ga.. Aug. 23.—This morning at
2 o'clock, Jack Fowler, a young negro,
attempted to commit an assault on the 14-
year-old daughter of Eli M. Keen at the
latter's home, six mile, east of Dublin.
The negro entered the room in which
the girl was sleeping, and caught hold of
her. At first she thought it was her lit
tle brother, but when she found it was
a negro, she screamed. Her father ran
into the room Just as the negro escaped
through the window.
The man was caught a few minutes
later in his house on Mr. Keen's place,
and held until 8 o'clock this morning,
when he wos brought to Dublin nnd placed
in Jail. He denied the crime, but Keen’s
daughter has positively identified him as
her assailant. There would have been
a lynching, it Is thought, had the facts of
the assault not been kept, very quiet In
the community In which it occurred.
Keen is one of the best citizens in the
county. Fowler had been working on his
place and had born o good reputation.

United Slate* government. He was em
ployed by the postolfice department, and
the charges against him were of a very
serious nature, and caused his arrest and
trial. It is said now that these facts
are really at the bottom of his with
drawal. His law partner. Mr. Momter,
to-day gave notice that the firm had been
dissolved. atl that he would continue
business on his own account in the fu
ture.

CENTRAL TO LOME A TENANT.
Said (lie Itlnnla and W est Point Will
Leave tlie Atlanta Depot.
Atlanta, Aug. 23.—The Central Railroad,
it is said, is about to lose a valuable ten
ant from Its Atlanta freight depot in the
Atlanta and West Point Railroad. The
Georgia road is now’ doubling the capaci
ty of its freight depot, and it is thought
that the Atlanta and West Point will join
in with them as soon as the Belt line from
near Fort McPherson, around the south
side of the city can be completed.
The Atlanta and Weet Point wanted to
construct a belt line several years ago.
but the Central of Georgia obtained an
injunction preventing them from building.
A private corporation was formed and the
work on the belt line is now progressing
rapidly*. Judging from the fact that the
line * being constructed and that the
Georgia road is building an annex to its
freight depot, it is believed that the two
roads have combined to use one freight
station. At present the Atlanta and West
Point is paying the Central of Georgia
big rent for the use of its freight sta
tion.

Thla pure cider la served on st-amers on

the pure Juice ot hand picked apples from
his own mill on the premises. It Is abso
lutely pure apple lulce, and all the effer
rracenoe is natural, and we guarantee it
to be th. choicest cider In ‘be world.
Leading ph.vs:clans In New York and
Brooklyn recommend this cider lo their
pntiefiU its perfict puilry Is guaranteed.
In Paulding's Pippin cider, only Long is
land Newton's Pippins aie used. The ap
ples are left on the trees until late in Oc
tober when they are hand picked and
placed in a dry room to ripen.
Paulding says "the appl< a are thorough
ly crushed in his own mill and the Juice
pressed out and run into sweet clean
casks” The difference between crushing
and gr.ndlng a;>ples Is very great
You will know the difference between
or shed app es end ground apples If you
take some s’errns and chew them, you will
fltid that bitter taste which Is not with
Paulding’s crushed apples. This cider lias
not the ext'cmc ewe ness of the Russet
elder, and everyone will find the Pauld
<ng' Pippin elder Juet right to take with
dinner. LIPPMAN BROS ,
