THE SCHOOL FUND
WILL BE $900,000
THE SENATE SO DECIDED
IN PASSING THE GENERAL APPRO
PRIATIONS BILL.
Senator llarls Opposed Having tlie
School Fund More Than 45800,00,
on the Ground That There Would
Even Then Bea Deficiency ot
gISS.OOO Railroads Mn*t Put
Standard* on Lumber Curt—Other
Work ot the Senate.
J Atlanta, Aug. B.—After amending
the general appropriations bill so as
to cut the’ school fund from $1,000,000
to $900,000, the Senate passed that
measure to-day by a vote of 35 to 1.
The Senate gave the State Sanitarium
$350,000, or $20,000 more than was given
by the House.
All went smoothly and the amend
ments to the bill were adopted until
the common school fund of $1,000,000
was reached. The committee amended,
cutting the amount to SBOO,OOO. Sena
tor McMichael amended the report,
asking for $900,000, and in its support,
made a speceb in favor of rural educa
tion.
Senator Davis said he did not see
how the Senate could vote for the ap
propriation. as it would be unconsti
tutional. He alleged that to vote for
a known deficiency w-as unconstitu
tional, and had so been declared by the
Supreme Court. Senator Davis said the
deficiency was already $125,000 and in
the event of the adoption of the $900,000
amendment, the decrease w'ould be
$225,000. Senator Tisenger supported
the amendment, stating that the
schools should have the necessary
amount of money needed, and he
thought $900,000 was the amount. The
amendment was adopted.
For Board of Health.
An amendment to the bill was offer
ed which increased the appropriation
for the State Board of Health to $7,500.
The sum of $5,000 was also appropriated
by the Senate for work on Confeder
ate rosters. A number of amendments
of minor importance were made to the
bill which was passed as amended.
The Senate also passed the bill of
Senator Jordan restricting the speed
of automobiles in the coimt’-v to twen
ty miles an hour on the tways and
six miles an hour while running
through country towns.
At th= afternoon session, the Senate
passed by a vote of 26 to 8 the bill by
Senator Comas, to require railroads to
equip their lumber cars with proper
standards for retaining the lumber
loaded on them. The bill, for which a
hard fight has been made by the lum
ber interests of the state, came from the
committee with an adverse report, not
withstanding which the Senate took it
up and passed it. The only amend
ment of consequence was to the effect
that the penalty upon the railroads for
each car not so equipped was reduced
from $5 to sl.
The railroads tried to get the com
mission recently to add a substitute re
quiring that the lumbermen equip the
cars with standards, but that the rail
roads allow 500 pounds off in the
weight of freight. This was entirely
unacceptable to the lumbermen, and
the commission reported against the
bill, despite which the Senate took up
the measure and passed It.
To Protect Cotton Owner*.
The bill by Messrs. Moore and Mc-
Lean, requiring merchants who sell
agricultural products In original pack
ages to report to the consignor the date
of sale a.nd name of purchaser, was
passed by a vote of 23 to 5. The ob
ject of the bill Is to prevent commis
sion men, to whom cotton is consigned,
from purchasing it themselves on days
"hen the price of the staple goes the
lowest.
The Hopkins bill, to require that per
sonal property shall always be return
ed for taxation In the county In which
it was located, was passed unani
mously.
The following appointments were re
ceived from the Governor In executive
session: Joseph Brown, to be railroad
commissioner to fill the unexplred term
of G. Gunby Jordan, resigned: Hon.

! Mrs. Hughson, of Chicago,
whose letter follows, is another
woman in high position whoowes
her health to the use of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
“ Pear Mrs. Pinkbam : I suffered
for several years with general weakness
and bearing-down pains, caused by
womb trouble. My appetite was poor,
and I would lie awake for hours, and
could not sleep, until I seemed more
weary in the morning than when I re
tired. After reading one of your adver
tisements I decided to try the merits
of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, and I am so glad 1 did.
No one can describe the good it did me.
I look three bottles faithfully, and be*
sides building up my general health,
it drove all disease and poison out of
my body, and made me feel as spry and
active as a young girl. Mrs. Pinkham’s
medicines are certainly all they are
claimed to he.” Mrs. M. E. Hughson,
347 East Ohio St., Chicago, 111. fsooo
forfeit If original of about letter proving genuine
ness cannot be produced.
More than a million women have re
gained health by the use of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
If the slightest trouble appears
which you do not understand

Mass., for her advice, and a few
timely words from her will show
you the right thing to do. This

Building Trade* Have Rowed W'ith
the Union*.
New York, Aug. B.—The general
lockout against unions in the building
trades, whose members have recently
ordered strikes, went into effect to
- day.
The number of men affected by the
lockout is variously estimated at from
50,000 to 100.000. About half of these
are skilled workmen, the remainder be
ing laborers whose employment depends
upon the skilled Workers.
The lockout, which was ordered by
the Building Trades' Employers' As
sociation. is a result of an alleged vio
lation of an agreement entered into by
the unions and the association about a
year ago to submit all questions to ar
bitration. Many strikes have been or
dered against members of the associa
tion during the past few weeks and the
lockout order followed.
The Building Trades’ Alliance, which
comprises ail the unions affected by
the big lockout of to-day, adopted a
resolution providing for the repudiation
of the general arbitration plan. It
was stated at the conclusion of the
meeting that all big jobs in the city
will be struck to-morrow.
GOVERNMENT WANTS IT.
Trying to Get the quarantine Sta
tion at Brunswick.
Brunswick, Ga„ Aug. B.—The United
States government is endeavoring to
purchase the property on which the lo
cal quarantine station is now situated
and it is more than probable that the
property will be condemned and a
board of appraisers appointed to fix a
price.
It seems that the owners of the prop
erty, several in number, want a price
for the property, the government
thinks exorbitant. The titles are now
being investigated and correspondence
is going on between the representa
tives of the government and the attor
neys representing the owners of the
property.
The property in question is situated
about one mile from the city and is an
excellent piece of wharfage. It has
been used by thS government for a
number of years and has been greatly
improved
Tax Receiver J. E. Dubljfrlv to-day
completed his tax returns for the year
1904 and a handsome Increase Is show
ed over 1903. The returnable property
for 1903 was $4,401,168, and for 1904, $4,-
483,692. the Increase being $82,524. This
increase Is entirely in the city. The
returns for the whites in the city is,
for the year 1903, $4,048,167, and for 1904
$4,113,366. The colored returns are as
follows: For 1903, $216,511, and for
1904, $238,058.
The King's Daughters served ice
cream in Hanover Park this afternoon

Hay Wasted no Word* in Talking to
the Turk*.
Washington, Aug. 8. —Secretary Hay
to-day bluntly tedd Chekib Bey, the
Turkish minister here, that the pa
tience of the American government is
well nigh exhausted. The minister is
expected to communicate this informa
tion to his home government speed
ily.
There appeared to be an impression
In the mind of the Turkish statesman
that because the President of the Unit
ed States could not "make war without
the consent of Congress he was there
by estopped from indulging in a naval
demonstration to forward his purpose
to secure fair treatment for the Amer
icans In Turkey. It is believed that
on this point also the Turkish charge
was enlightened by Secretary Hay.
PERTURBED THE PORTE.

Constantinople, Aug. 7.—The an
nouncement of the dispatch of the
American European squadron to Smyr
na has perturbed the Forte and will
doubtless hasten the solution of the
questions at issue between the United
States and Turkey In a manner satis
factory to the former.
The Porte recognized the American
demand as to schools in principle, but
thus far has failed to execute the nec
essary measures, and the American le
gation has now sent a communication
to the Porte pointedly demanding a
speedy and final settlement, the issu
ance of the necessary orders, and the
cfticial acknowledgment by Turkey of
the American demands.
Sqnndron at Gibraltar,
Washington, Aug. B.—Rear Admiral

Hannibal left Lisbon to-day with coal
for Admiral Jewell's ships. Admiral
Barker will go to Lisbon unless he re
ceives orders from the Navy Depart
ment to proceed westward, the purpose
being to second the efforts of the State
Department in Turkey.
HEAVY FIRING DID
NOT MEAN BATTLE.
Che Foo, Aug. 9, 6 a. m.—The fir
ing which was heard last night con
tinued to 3:30 this morning.
A junk, which left Port Arthur, Aug.
6, reported that there had been no
hostile movements since July 28, ex
cept exchanges between the batter
ies. The Russian battleships Pobieda,
Retvizan, Poltava and Perisviet fire
occasionally, which is probably what
was heard last night.
An engineer, who is familiar with
Port Arthur, states that it will take
i the Japanese four weeks to fortify the
! captured hills and plant siege guns,
j which will require strong foundation*
in the face of the Russian fire.
RUSSIAN FORCES

WILL RUN*CAMPAIGN.
Sheehan and Executive Committee
Will Have Cluu-Re.
New York; Aug. B.—lt seems to be
understood, as a result of the meeting
of the National Democratic Executive
Committee to-day and conference*
which were held after the committee
adjourned, that the Executive Commit
tee will have active charge of the pres
idential campaign, and Is, In fact, a
campaign committee. This will mean
that the Important work of manage
ment will devolve upon upon William
F. Sheehan and the men selected by
Chairman Taggart as his associates.
All matters of policy and procedure
will be determined by the Executive
Committee.
As announced by chairman Taggart
at the time he appointed the Executive
Committee, Senator Gorman will act
in an advisory capacity to the Exec
utive Committee. This accounts for
the frequent conferences and ex
changes of messages between the sen
ator and members of the committee
to-day. After Mr. Sheehan and Mr.
Gorman had been in conference this
evening, Mr. Sheehan *ent for Mr.
Taggart and had a conference, lasting
late into the night, in which the gen
eral policy and management of the
campaign was discussed.

Doubters
Doubters should not pride themselves upon their infirmities. Doubt
implies ignorance. The man who is ignorant but keeps his mouth shut
escapes detection, but the man who doubts that the world is round and
gives expression to this doubt, proclaims his ignorance.
Now I make this positive affirmation: Johnson’s Chill and Ftever
Tonic is the greatest Fever remedy on this earth. Do you doubt? Be
careful. A doubt on your part is tantamount to a confession of ignor
ance upon the subject.
Johnson’s Tonic is a great remedy and bears the endorsement of
good men, the length and breadth of this land. But even if it bore the
guarantee of Heaven the doubter would still doubt.
Do you doubt this? Once a remedy which bore the guarantee of God
himself was offered by Moses to the Children of Israel for the cure of the
bite of venomous serpents. The remedy was the brazen serpent erected
in the Wilderness by Moses. Though this remedy bore the Divine guar
antee. many doubted. Those who believed lived. What lecome of the
doubters? They buried them.
Those who believe in and use Johnsou’s Tonic are cured. What be
comes of the doubters? They bury a great many of them.
In 20 years no grave was dug nor shroul was made for a fever victim
whose faith was pinned to Johnson’s Tonic.
Quinine is the inert remedy of the medical profession. Those among
them who break away from thia great mistake have wonderfully reduced
mortality among their patients. Those who cling to it continue to issue
burial certificates to their victims.
Johnson’s Tonic will cure any attack of Fever and will begin to un
do tbe mischief within 30 minutes after its administration.
To believe in it is to live. To doubt it is to place your life in jeop
ardy. Use Johnson’s Tonic for fever and use nothing else.
Don’t doubt. Doubters have been buried and will continue to be
buried in all ages. Believers are saved.
VALUE OF PERSPIRATION.
From the New York Pres*.
A good, honest, free sweet In torrid
weather 1* your life's salvation. The
man ivho gets boiling hot and does not
generously perspire is in danger. Na
ture has provided 2,400,000 safety
valves for the body, which we style
sweat-duets. There Is an average of
3,000 of these to the square inch In the
palm of the hand. You don't like to
shake the greasy palm, eh? You per
spire fearfully In the nerk, wilting
two or three collars a doy, yet there
are only 41* sweat-ducts to the square
Inch in that part of the body, as In
the back.
*%ventlns on One Side.
"Sweat" Is regarded as less elegant
than "perspiration,” hut Intrinsically
they are the same. The laboring man
swests and the working woman per
spites. The lady of high social caste
"becomes moist." One of the curses of
Adam was that he should eat bread In
the sweat of his face. We have a
common phrase—"sweating blood."
Well, that Is not slang, as many sup
pose. In his agony In the Harden
Christ's sweat "was, aa It were, great
drops of blood.” The word perspire Is
not In th Bible. Thare Is In New
York a Mr. Brown, who sweats on
one side only Noted phystrlana have
been asked to explain this phenome
non In vain. Thay merely look and
wonder. 1 saw Mr Brown yesterday
with beads of sweat ell over the right
elds of hta head, face and neck, while
the left side wee m dry aa bone.
He was never paralyzed, and possesses
the average amount of brains.
Keep the Pores Open.
If the 2.406,000 pore* are kept open
there is no danger of sun stroke, un
less you are very bilious. Go ahead
and sweat and feel right. Bathe dally,
but use soap only once a week. In the
thermal baths of the world very little
soap Is used after the first hard scrub
bing, as It clogs the swsat-ducts. Ar.
Immersion of fifteen minutes, followed
by a thorough rubbing with a loofe, Is
all you need. The original principle of
health was to keep the feet warm, the
head cool and the alimentary canal
well flushed. It Is as good to-day as it
was In past agea.
Coolest Man In Sm* York.
While wandering over the mountains
of Orange county, New York, on Tues
day. thermometer 111 degrees In the
sun, I stumbled upon Frederick C.
Eberlln In the hlght of enjoyment. He
was as cool as a cucumber In a patty
of some twenty-five friends who were
"sweating blood." His costume was
described, nay. exhibited, for the grat
ification of all: Crash suit (coat and
trousers), costing 54. Panama hat
costing |M> White cenvae walking
shoes. Neglige# shirt, blue and whlta
stripe, worth 47 cents. No undershirt.
Half-leg drawers, reaching to the
kneecap. On* pair of socks, attached
to drawers by a straight place of elas
tic gartering. Barring tha hat, you
could have bought him for 1*.75.
Why and Wherefore,
"Why don't you we*r an under
shirt’" asked one. "Because 1 want in
get rid of my pensplrstlon as fast as
It oozes out,” said the Great Sign
Painter. "An undershirt gets soaked
with It and stays soaked until It be
comes offensive. It goes through this
thin negligee like water througOi a
sieve and Is Immediately dissipated by
the air, producing a delightful cool
ness by the evaporation.” "Why the
short drawers?" "What is the most
uncomfortable thing about a man's
clothes? The pulling of his drawers
and trousers at the knee. There Is
none of tfhat with short drawers. 1
wouldn't Interfere with my circulation
by wearing garters around my calves,
so I use a straight bit of elastic to
hold up my socks."
Three Collar Button*.
This philosopher wears three collar
buttons, one behind, two before. The
neckband of the shirt la not fastened
In front with a single button, but a
separate button Is placed In each but
ton hole, to which Phe ends of the col
lar are attached. This admits of am
ple expansion, as there 4s s play of an
Inch and a half. If It la desired to
make the collar tight In cold weather
the cravat Is drawn close and cinched
with a stickpin Any kind of dollar
would do. hut the style preferred Is
that worn by President Roosevelt, a
flat turn-down, which locks not 111 on
a thick neck. Gen. Rherlln goes be**-

a rare genius Is "Old Fred.”
