2 NEWS OF A DAY IN GEORGIA’S CAPITAL NOT FOR TWO YEARS WILL LITIGATION OVER RAILROAD KATES BE CONCLUDED. , r Great Question at Preient I* a* to ■Whether Circular* 301 and 302 Shall Remain In Force Pending the Adjudication—That la To Be Decided Br Judge Newman, Who Now Hta the Hearing In Progren. Central'* Official* Make Affidavit** Atlanta, Nov. 29. Lawyers agree that the litigation now in progress in the United States court here over freight rates in Georgia will hardly reach a final determination under two years. It 16 only the preliminary hear ing that is now in progress before Judge Newman. His decision will be simply upon the question as to wheth er the temporary injunction against Circulars 301 and 302 shall remain in force pending the litigation. In either event the case will be referred to a master, whose report would hardly he expected In less than a year. It will take another year to get the case through the Supreme Court. The fight over the temporary injunc tion Is an Important one, however, for there can be no appeal from the judge’s decision as to this until the case has been referred and the master has made his report. The session of the court to-day was taken up with the reading of more an swers bv the state and several affida vits by A. R. Lawton. W. A. Winburn, T. A. Moise and other Central Rail way officials in support of their con tentions against the reduced rates. More affidavits will be read to-morrow, and it will probably be Thursday be fore the arguments are begun. Who I* County Treasurer? The politicians of Murray county are stirred up over a peculiar situation as to the county treasurership. Last February County Treasurer B. A. Gregory died. Instead of calling an election, as the law requires. Ordinary Ovbey waited until August and ap pointed Marvin Gregory, son of the former treasurer, but failed to notify the Governor. Ordinary Ovbey was defeated by a Republican who claim ed the Gregorys worked against him. Thereupon he appointed Marion Wil liams county treasurer, and notified the Governor, who sent him a com mission. Gregory claims he is treas urer and refuses to give up the funds. The matter has been referred to Gov. Terrell, who will decide the dispute when he gets an opinion from the At torney General. Terrell Didn't Reply. Gov. Terrell, who received from President Francis of the St. Louis Ex position a telegram about President Roosevelt’s visit similar to that sent Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi, and to day he did not reply to the message because he did not think it necessary. He declined to discuss Gov. Varda man's reply. For a Pardon for Dodd. The Judge, solicitor general and jury who convicted State Senator W. P. Dodd of embezzlement of school funds of Gordon county while he was County SchoolCommissloner will Join manvoth ers in asking the Prison Commission and Governor to grant him a pardon. He is serving a two-years’ sentence at the state farm, where he is employed as a bookkeeper. Dodd was convicted at the time he was state senator and immediately re signed. He was one of the most prom inent men in North Georgia, and the trial attracted a great deal of atten tion. In July Dodd began to serve his sentence. He came from Calhoun, Ga., his home, unaccompanied by any offi cer and surrendered to the Prison Commission. He also went to the pris on farm at Milledgeville without an officer.

B. Boyer, Local Forecaster. POLITICS GR*OWS~HOT. Colmnhn* Is Getting Lively With It* Municipal Campaign. Columbus, Cra.. Nov. 29.—Two com plete aldermanic tickets have been placed in the field and local politics is red hot. Two largely attended mass meetings have been held and It Is prob able that another will be held before the white primary Friday. At last night’s mass meeting Presi dent T. T. Miller of the Commercial Club defended the club from the at tacks made upon it in the Enquirer- Sun and on the streets during the past few days, and offered to back his assertions to 'the extent of $6,000, which he said he had with him at the time. The Enquirer-Sun will to-morrow re ply to some of the statements made by Mr. Miller, and an effort may be made to corral the $6,000 in gold. INTERESTING, IF TRUE. You Can Try It For Yourself and Prove It. One grain of the active principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3,000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment which anyone can perform for him self in the following manner: Cut hard-boiled eggs into very small pieces, as it would be if masticated, place the egg and two or three of the tablets in a bottle or jar containing warm water, heated to 9S degrees (the temperature of the body), and keep it at this temperature for three and one half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as it would have been in the healthy stomach of a hungry boy. The point of this experiment is that what Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg in the bottle It will do to the egg or meat In the stomach, and nothing else will rest and invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even a little child can take Stuart's Tablets with safety and benefit if its digestion is weak and the thousands of cures accomplished by their regular daily use are easily explained when it is understood that they are composed of vegetable essences, aseptic pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal, which min gles with the food and digest it thor oughly, giving the overworked stom ach a chance to recuperate. Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and cathartic medi cines, which simply Irritate and in flame the intestines. When enough food is eaten and promptly digested there will be no constipation, nor in fact will there be disease of any kind, because good di gestion means good health in every organ. The merit and success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are world-wide and they are sold at the moderate price of 50 cts for full-sized package in ev ery drug store in the United States ai\d Canada, as well as in Europe.
