Clash Over Maryland Results,
WASHINGTON. May B.—-The Taft
and Roosevelt national headquarters
have clashed over the Maryland pri
mary results. The word "lie” was free
ly used by Senator Dixon, head of the
Roosevelt committee. The Taft head
quarters put out a statement on the
Maryland result, part .of which fol
lows:
"More than half of Mr. Roosevelt's
entire delegate vote came from the city
and county of Baltimore, where it is
stated the Roosevelt managers placed
SIO,OOO among their workers at an early
hour Monday."
Deliberate Lie, Says Dixon,
This statement was delivered in the
Roosevelt headquarters, the rival or
ganizations having an amicable ai -
rangement whereby they exchange
daily bulletins and statements.
Here is Senator Dixon’s answer;
"Every one of these statements is a
deliberate, wilful lie. Every man con
nected with their concoction and cir
culation is a deliberate, wilful liar.
These lies are circulated for the pur
pose and for the only purpose for which
liars always lie."
Wilson Is Decisively
Beaten in Mississippi
JACKSON, MISS , May 8 —Revised re
turns In presidential primary election
yesterday give Oscar W. Underwood 5,206
votes and Woodrow Wilson 3,020.
Underwood will have all of the state s
twenty delegates to the Democratic na
tional convention
Not more than 25 per cent of the regis
tered voters was polled. A spirit of
apathy, and decided lack of interest was
manifested throughout the state except in
the few towns and counties that offered
candidates for district delegates to the
Baltimore convention. ,
At Least 65 Counties For Underwood.
Returns are coming in very slowly. In
numerous instances even the election of
ficers did not feel sufficient interest in
the event to make public the returns, and
figures will not be known until reported
to the county executive committees dur
ing the latter part of the week The fig
ures in hand show, however, that Un
derwood has carried at least 65 of the
78 counties in the state and the number
may be Increased by the official fig
ures
This city gave Underwood, who 1s a
Mississippi man. a majority of 79 over
Wilson. Jackson is generally regarded
as the political barometer for the state.

HOME PROOF.
ATLANTA PROOF
K F. Bentley, barber. 236 E. Ellis St.,
Atlanta, Ga., says:
“Doan’s Kidney Pills acted like mag
ic in my case and are deserving of my
indorsement. I suffered from dull, nag
ging backaches and had pains through
my loins. My work obliges me to be
on my -feet most of the time and this
made my suffering worse. When night
came I could not rest well and in the
morning when I got up, I was lame and
stiff. I tried several medicines that
were said to be good for kidney com
plaint, but found no relief until I ob
tained Doan's Kidney Pills. The first
dose helped me and the contents of a
box drove away all my aches and
pains." (Statement given April IS.
1908.)
The Cure Lasted.
On January 27. 1911, when Mr. Bent
ley was Interviewed, he said: “As 1
have not had any symptom of kidney
trouble in three years, I consider it no
more than my duty to indorse Doan's
Kidney Pills again I shall always have
a word of praise for this remedy when
the opportunity is given me."

Man Is Best at 45,
Declares President
Os the Rock Island
CHICAGO. May B.—According to H
U. Mudge, president of the Rock Island
road, the contention that a man who
passes the 45-year age limit Is no
longer useful is the veriest nonsense.
Mr. Mudge is fifty-five years old and
says he never felt better fitted for
work.
"A man over 45 years of age no
longer useful?” he responded In repeat
ing the question. “That’s al! bosh. I’m
55 myself, and no one can say I’m not
active. A man is in his prime at 45.
Os course, there is an unofficial rule
that a railroad company does not want
to take new men into the service at
45. We want them before they get to
the prime stage, so that they will be
prime in the service at 45.”

MACON, GA., May 8.-The 50.000 vis

drinking, and drinking heavily. The 50,-

ing very heavily. In spite of that, how
ever. the police dockets do not show a
great number of entries and the near
beer saloons have not done an enormous
business.
The reason for which Is found In the
fact that both visitors and residents have
been patronizing the city water works.
Since Mondaj' more than 9,000,000 gallons
of water has been consumed by the vet
