“Boots” Rogers, Auto Chaser.
Is the Guy Who Puts Gloom
in Joy Rides.
•
If "Boots" Rogers, county motorcy
cle officer, had continued in a straight
line fourleen months ago when he was
given a machine instead of chasing
automobiles in and about Atlanta, he
would have made nearly an exact cir
cuit of the globe by today. When he
looked at his speedometer this morn
ing it registered 25,005 miles.
"Boots" Rogers is known probably to
every automobilist in Fulton county
whoever had an inclination to scorch.
His arrests have been many for he
rides over every road in the county.
The fact that he bad ridden around
the v .rid, figuratively speaking, and
still remained in Pulton county never
occurred to "Boots" until this morn
ing. He then told all bis friends about
if and received very many congratula
tions.
As a result of the activity of Rog
ers and his city brethren scorching has
been minimized greatly. A statistical
fiend recently said automobile acci
dents had decreased more than 30 per
cent in the last few months.

BRU NSWICK. GA., June 25,—The visit

thought they were in the desert of Sa
hara as they thronged to that resort from
points all over the state on that day.
For the first time since the new edict had
been passed, the lid was on. and it was
on good and tight. The old patron who
had been accustomed to his cold bottle of
near-beer could not bring himself to be
lieve that any spot could be'made so dry
and still remain so near to the ocean
But such was the case.
A movement among the islanders is now
on to remove the "lid" and a committee
will shortly appear before the county com
missioners for this purpose.

FEDERALS HANG
200 MISTS
MEXICO CITY. June 25. More than
200 Zapatist rebels were captured and
hanged by federal troops after a battle
near Huitzilac.
Refugees arriving here from that
banhit-infested region say the fringe of
the forest lining the road for some dis
tance in the vicinity of Huitzilac was
marked with bodies hanging from limbs
of trees.
The rebel leader surrendered after the
battle. When the insurrectos had been
disarmed they were led to the edge of
the forest, and one after tbe other were
hanged to the nearest tree.
General Robles in his report said the
reason the rebels were hanged instead
of being shot to death was to "strike
terror into the hearts of other rebels
operating in that state."

It is a generally recognized truth that medicines made from vegetable
ingredients are a great deal better adapted to the delicate human system, ana
1 safer in every way, than those composed of strong Imineral mixtures and
; compounds. Mercury, potash, arsenic, etc., which are used in the manufac
' ture of most blood medicines, are too violent in their action, and frequently
i derange the system by disturbing the stomach and digestion, affecting
I the bowels, and when used for a prolonged period often cause Rheumatism.
! S. S. S. is the only blood medicine guaranteed absolutely and purely vegeta
ble. It is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, selected for their purify
| ing and healing qualities. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and
j Ulcers, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, and all other blood diseases,
j because it cleanses and purifies the blood, and at the same time builds up
■ the entire system by its fine vegetable tonic effects. S. S. S. may be taken
