Derby Day in the South.
S PROMINENT foreigner who has
traveled extensively through the
Southern States, when asked
what he had noted as the most
distinguishing characteristic of
the Southern gentleman, replied, "His
respect for women and love for horses.”
And we can readily understand this
when we remember that the South pro
duces the handsomest women, as well as
the fastest horses in the world. On the
day of the Derby, one's attention is
divided between the event of the occa
sion and the visions of magnificently
gowned femininity that appear on every
hand. And right heartily do the ladies
enter into the sport, showing as much
enthusiasm in their efforts to "pick the
winner ” as do their male companions,
and they are fully as successful. A
large element in the sport of racing, be
it of horses, automobiles or bicycles,
consists in the opportunities it offers
for speculation as to possible results.
Women, as a rule, are not good specu
lators, as they are apt to be influenced
by sentiment, to the detriment of cold
judgment and calculation which is so
necessary to skilful play. They are also
somewhat cautious, seldom risking large
sums unless they have a "sure thing.”
It is only reasonable to affirm that if a
woman is reluctant to take large risks in
money matters, that she should be much
more reluctant to expose her health—a
thousand fold more valuable than money
—to chance or unnecessary risk. The
day when the treatment of disease was
in the experimental stage is happily
past, and every sick woman can find a
"sure thing” in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription. This medicine, elaborated
forty years ago by a famous specialist in
women’s diseases, has been used by
thousands of sufferers, with wonderful
results. It is composed of Nature’s
choicest health giving plants, without a
particle of alcohol. Alcohol is a valu
able agent in the hands of the skilled
physician when used for certain condi
tions, and owing to its peculiar property
of extracting the active elements from
vegetable substances, has been used and
is found to-day in a large amount in
nearly every popular remedy on the
market, yet it lias a most unfortunate
effect in the body, drying up the blood
atid destroying the vitality of the tissues.
Dr. Pierce, therefore in preparing his
medicine, carefully excluded therefrom
all alcohol and narcotic substances.
The satiny coat, sleek skin and
rounded limbs of the thoroughbred
horse are the best index of his condi
tion, and similarly, the plump face,
rosy cheek and springy step mark the
healthy woman. It is an axiom of uni
versal acceptance that a healthy woman
is a happy one, and a well-known fact
that a tasteful gown and a beautiful
complexion will make any woman at
tractive, and they are within the reach of
nearly every one. But if the complex
ion be muddy or spotted, or the skin
wrinkled and flabby, the most elaborate
costume will simply serve to emphasize
these defects. There is nothing that
will produce wrinkles and a bad com
plexion so surely as disease and displace
ments of the organs essentially feminine.
A woman's body comprises an extremely
complex arrangement of nerve and
energy, whose principal aim is devoted
to the continuance of the species, and to
this end all the bodily functions are
subservient, and when there is a dis

Columbia, S. C„ April 28.—There
were three killings in South Carolina
yesterday, and in each case at least one
of the principals—the slayer or the vic
tim was a prominent white man.
At Monetta, Saluda county, Ben Bur
ton, a merchant, was shot and instantly
killed by Morgan Thrailkill, a promi
nent farmer and Lecky Burton, a
younger brother was dangerously
bounded by Clarence Thrailkill, the son
°f Ben Burton's slayer. Morgan

A negro pawned a pistol at Ben Bur

PERIODIC SUFFERING.
Many women believe that a certain
amount of distress at regular periods is
natural and must be borne, but this is
not true. There is no reason why a
healthy woman should suffer from
monthly pains, and the fact that she does
so suffer is a positive indication that
there is something wrong in the femi
nine organs. This trouble responds
readily to the "Favorite Prescription.”
Disagreeable and weakening drains are
stopped, the pelvic congestion is relieved
and new tone and vigor are given to the
worn-out organs. Do not let the drug
gist sell you something "just as good.”
It may be ju6t as good for him, but it is
not for you. There is only one Doctor
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, and be
sure you get it. If you are sick or suf
fering, Dr. Pierce will be glad to diag
nose your case and give you advice.
Hundreds of women, cured by his medi
cines daily send their grateful letters to
his office, willingly declaring the bene
fits of his advice and treatment. Why
should you not be cured ? Write to-day,
explaining your symptoms fully. Your
letter will be regarded as sacredly con
fidential and the benefit of his long
experience given, free of charge.
"A short time ago I was almost dead
with nervous prostration, general de
bility and female weakness,” writes Mrs.
Loretto Webster, of 317 Virginia Avenue,
Lexington, Ky., Worthy Treasurer In
dependent Order of Good Templars.
"Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription was
recommended to me as a sure cure, and
I found this to be true, for I obtained
splendid results, securing fine health.
Women ought to be grateful to think
that there is one safe and sure cure
offered to them for their troubles. I
advise every sick and suffering woman
to stop spending money and' wasting
time with doctors’ prescriptions, when a
few bottles of your remedy is sure to cure.
I am the happy mother of two children,
boy aged sixteen, and girl, eight years.”
" ‘ Favorite Prescription ’ is indeed an
ideal medicine for women, and by far the
best I have known to restore lost health
and strength,” writes Mrs. R. C. Roelker,
24 Ingram St., Henderson, Ky. "I suf
fered misery for several years, ’ eiug
troubled with menorrhagia. My back
ached and I had bearing-down pains and
frequent headaches. Would often awake
from sleep in such pain and suffering it
would be hours before I could close my
weary eyes again. I dreaded the long
nights as well as the weary days. Con
sulted two different physicians hoping to
get relief, but finding that their medi
cine did not seem to cure me I tried Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, as a friend
had recommended it so strongly. Am
glad that I followed her advice Tor it was
the only medicine for me. Every ache
and pain has gone, and not only this, my
general health has improved. I feel well
and strong, have a hue appetite, have
gained flesh and never looked better.”

Killed By Town Marshal.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Town Marshall J. F. Borum, of Con
way, shot and instantly killed W. B.
Porter, a prominent liverym'an of that
town. Borum went to Porter's stable to
bring a negro boy to the town court,
where he was wanted as a witness.
Porter interfered and high words fol
lowed. The marshal then clubbed Por

pistol and returned. The marshal got
the drop and shot him dead. Borum
is in jail.
Killed By Man He Threatened.
In Barnwell yesterday, J. Lawton
Ellis, a highly respected citizen, shot
and killed a notorious negro, named
Tom Badger. On the preceding d'ay
Badger interfered with Ellis' laborers
and Ellis drove him from his field. Yes

gate. When Ellis came out the negro
raised his gun to fire, but Ellis was
the quicker, and shot the negro dead
in his tracks.

FOR AN EXTENSION.

River Rrldar* Now—Therefore the
Requests—New sand Notes from
the National Capltnl Georgia
Congressmen Are Coming Home.
By R. M. Lamer.
Washington, April 28.—A delegation,
representing the City Council of Augus
ta arrived here to-day to present to the
War Department the resolution recent
ly adopted by the Council, asking for
an extension of time for the construc
tion of a drawbridge, which, under the
terms of an order of the War Depart
ment, was to be constructed within a
year.
The Augusta authorities seek to
secure the approval of the engineer
department of the War Department to
an extension of time within which the
improvement may be made, as its
construction now would involve an in
creased taxation. The Augusta com
mittee, which consists of Capt. Dunbar
and Messrs. Eve, Wingfield and Henry
Cohen, will visit the department to
morrow morning with Representative
Hardwick and Senators Bacon and
Clay and present the matter.
Georgians Coming Home.
Most of the members of the Georgia
delegation will leave for home to-mor
row. Judge Adamson left to-night.
Judge Bartlett and Mrs. Bartlett went
with the congressional delegation to
St. Louis to attend the opening of the
exposition. Col. Livingston will be kept
here several days attending to some
minor matters for constituents.
Excluded Mrs. Roosevelt.
The necessity for the confirmation of
a Georgian, who had passed his ex
amination to the Marine Corps, and of
a Georgia postmaster, operated to turn
Mrs. Roosevelt and other members of
the President’s family out of the Sen
ate gallery, almost immediately after
they had entered for the purpose of
witnessing the Senate's close. There
had just been an executive session, and
it was supposed that all necessary busi
ness had been completed, when Senator
Clay appeared with these nominations,
of which he had Just succeeded in se
curing the approval of the committees.
He at once moved an executive session,
which was held, and the nominations
of Postmaster Jerkins at Ashburn and
or' Lieut. Pettijohn of the Marine Corps
were confirmed. In the meantime,
however, Mrs. Roosevelt had to re
main on the outside of the gallery
doors, as did everybody else.
Mix is Now Reliev'd!.
Just before adjournment, while the
President was in the President’s room
ai the Capitol, Representative Bartlett
secured his signature to a bill which
he vetoed at the last session. This was
the bill to relieve Harry Mix of Macon
as surety upon the bond of A. F. Holt,
who used to be postmaster at Valdosta.
After the alleged shortage of Mr. Holt
had been made good by him, he went
to Mexico, supposing that this dismiss
ed the proceedings against him. Later
the case was called and the bond for
feited. The last Congress passed a bill
relieving Mr. Mix from responsibility
upon the bond, but the President, on a
report from one of the clerks of the de
partment of justice, vetoed it. Judge
Bartlett had the bill again passed, and
by presenting the matter in person to
the President, secured executive ap
proval.
ltall Gets His *1,585.
Hon. Hewlett A. Hall of Newnan will
be paid $1,585 by the government of
the United States in full for services
as one of the representatives of the
United States at the Paris exposition.
This amount was held back by the
disbursing officer, owdng to a differ
ence of opinion concerning the terms
of the contract with Mr. Hall. Judge
Adamson Introduced a bill for the set
tlement of the claim and after It had
passed the House Senators Clay and
Bacon took it up on the Senate end
and secured its passage. Judge Adam
son followed it up and was present
to-day when it reached the President,
and secured his signature to it.
Victory for the House.
Under the terms of the agreement
reached by the conferees on the Pan
ama canal legislation, the House se
cured a victory. While the bill, as it
stands, contains the Senate provisions,
the House bill, which was championed
by Judge Adamson, as a member of
the Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce, ‘both when the Sen
ate bill was before that committee
and upon the floor of the House, was
incorporated into the measure in a
way to make it really the only por
tion that is operative.
Lever Has Recovered.
Representative Lever, who has been
confined to his rooms for several days,
has practically recovered and would
have been at to-day's session had the
weather not been so bad that hie
physicians advised him not to ven
ture out. He is, however, about well
again.
Interest In Cane Growing.
The growing interest that is being
taken in the Interstate Sugar Cane
Growers' Association Convention, to be
held in Jacksonville May 4-5-6, is
shown by the many communications on
everything connected with the cane
(industry, which are being received from
all parts of the country. Yesterday
Capt. D. G. Purse received a letter from
Chicago in which information was ask
ed relative to the fermentation of syr
up. The information will be given in
one or more of the papers, to be read
before the convention.
Two Wayeross Men In Accidents.
Waycross, Ga., April 28.—T. S. Sin
gleton and H. J. Benton, two of
Waycross’ most prominent citizens,
were severely injured to-day. Mr. Ben
ton broke his left leg near the thigh
by jumping from the high embank
ment on Pendleton street, near the
Gold stamp store, and Mr. Singleton
had his left leg almost severed from
his body at his planing mill. Mr. Ben
ton was carried to his home on Reed
street, where tha injured leg was put
in plaster. The accident to Mr. Single
ton was caused by a saw falling against
him. the teeth ploughing almost entire
ly through his leg. The arteries and
bone were severed. For a time it was
feared that amputation would be neces
sary, but the doctors dressed and sew
ed the severed parts of the leg to
gether.

SWEET POTATOES TO FURNISH
THE WORLD'S STARCH SUPPLY
Is the Opinion of Dr. Wiley,. Chief Chemist of
the Agricultural Department.
"Washington, D. C., April 28.—“ The
day will, I believe, come when the
sweet potato will furnish the starch
of the world. The possibilities of the
potato are far beyond anything at
present realized.”
This is the opinion of Dr. Harvey W.
Wiley, chief of the hureau of chemistry
of the Agricultural Department, whose
attention has recently been directed
toward the development of the possi
bilities he indicates, and who is pre
paring the way for interesting experi
ments in that direction.
This opinion was given in the course
of a conversation with Representative
Brantley of Georgia, who has called to
his attention the advisability of the
Department of Agriculture following
up its experiments upon the sugar
cane of Georgia and South Carolina,
Florida and Alabama, with a some
what similar study of the sweet po
tato.
It was largely through the Influence
of Representative Brantley that the ex
periments now being conducted to de
velop the cane syrup industry of these
Southern state* was begun. The suc
cessful results obtained at the govern
ment’s experiment station near Way
cross suggested the possibilities in a
somewhat similar direction of the study
by the government’s experts of the
sweet potato, and he has had several
conferences with Dr. Wiley on the sub
ject. The experiment station at Way-
ILLNESS OF JUDGE SPEER
Caused Karl y Adjournment of Court
at Valdosta.
Valdosta, Ga., April 28.—The illness
of Judge Emory Speer brought an
abrupt ending of the first session of
the new Federal District Court this
morning. Judge Bpeer was not feeling
well yesterday, and last night he suf
fered considerably from neuralgia.
Early this morning he was attacked
by a severe nervous rigor, his fever
going up to 102V4- Dr. Talbot was hur
riedly summoned. After an hour or so
the Judge felt much better and was
able to leave off the 11 o'clock train
for his home In Maco,-..
Judge Speer attributed his illness to
a severe oold which he contracted on
Memorial Day and to biliousness. He
sat with his head uncovered through
out the open air exercises Tuesday and
that night attended a reception of the
Daughters of the Confederacy. A
change in the weather during the even
ing increased his cold, and yesterday
he remained in his room most of the
day.
The grand Jury and the petit Jurors
were dismissed for the term and the
court, so far as the open session is
concerned, was adjourned until De
cember.
The grand Jury returned quite a
number of true bills this morning,
among them being one against James
Htoney, alias James Miles, charged
with forging the signature to the In
dorsement on a money order.

cross is perhaps the most complete of
Its kind in the world, and could be
utilized for such investigation as the
experts may be able to conduct.
Mr. Brantley has made something of
a study of the uses to which the ordi
nary potato, which grows so abundant
ly and so generally throughout the
Southern states could be put. and is
convinced that there are great possi
bilities in the manufacture of glucose,
starch and alcohol from it. In his in
vestigations, the facilities of the Way
cross syrup station naturally suggest
ed themselves, and when he broached
the subject to Dr. Wiley, he promptly
agreed that the Influence of the De
partment of Agriculture should De ex
erted toward securing the necessary ap
propriations for the utilization of that
plant In the expert study of potato pos
sibilities.
In another year the department ex
pects to complete its work with the
sugar cane, or at least carry it to prac
tical completion. Dr. Wiley has agreed
to recommend that in the next agri-’
cultural appropriation bill there be
added to the sum appropriated to the
department for experiment purposes,
such amount as may be regarded nec
essary to take up the potato experi
ments and carry them on as those upon
sugar cane have been conducted, and
he considers the Waycross plant the
ideal place for such experiments. He is
himself quite enthusiastic over the pos
sibilities of making the potato crop an
other great money-crop for the South
ern states, and will do everything in
his power to make it that.
