of fuel.

Ghaingang Sentence Is Added to j Womfen * Help in Movement
Punishment of Youth Who As
saulted Officer*.
Two years in the chaingang and 60
days in the city stockade is the sen
tence faced to-day by Earl Zuber. a
youthful soda vender, of Carey Park,
who broke a pop bottle over a fan’s
head at Ponce rfeLenn Thursday, and
Friday afternoon pounded Policeman
Georg© Cornett in the crowded court
room beta use he didn’t like the sen
tence Recorder Broyles had imposed
on him.
Zuber. with 60 days on the city
w ork« given him by the Recorder a?
a result of his tw’o offenses, was ar
raigned before Judge A. Calhoun In
City Criminal Court on two charges
of assault and battefiy ahd wAs given
$160 fine or a year .lh each case.
"You seem to be out after a reputa
tion aa bad man early in life, Zu
ber,'’ said Judge Calhoun, as he im
posed sentence. “From the testimony
here, I would consider you a menace
to societj'.”
The youth, still a little defiant in.
his attitude received the court’s
words calmly and intimated that he
would have to serve his time, as he
was without funds to pay the fine.
According to the testimony given at
the Recorder’s court, Zuber, peeved
because Charles Promenenschkle. n
fan. did not move quickly enough
when the boy tried to climb through
the bleachers, struck him on the head
with ,a bottle, cutting him reverely.
Needed for Success, Declares
Prospective Board Member.
L. C. Green, of the Fourth Ward,
who is expected tb succeed T. L; bond
as a member of the Park Board, to
day strongly advocated more mid bet
ter playgrounds for Atlanta children.
“1 dbnT know anything Atlanta
needs worse than playgrounds and
more parks*,” said Mr. Green. ‘If we
had more places for the children to
play and r©mp ; t am sure the nuriiber
of people leaving the city in tiie sum
mer time would be greatly diminished
"We want to got the women star ed
in this movement, for they are the
ones most Vitally interested. 1 think
a good plan tVbtflti be to have the city
purchase suitab.ie Sites ahd then in a
large measure turn tlictn over to the
women in the various wards to be
beautified. Let each woman donate a
tree, a rose buoh or some flow er to be
placed in the park, which would tend
to create ft personal interest, and let
the city and the Park Board co-oper
ate with them in every possible way.
The Park Board could offer a cup or
some kind of tropny to be presented
to the ward malting the greatest Im
provement In its park.
"We are rushing ahead in business,
putting up many handsome buildings
and leading the South in everything
except providing ample amusement
for the children of the city.”

Old Macon 'Mammy’
Seeks Aged Mother
Hunts Parent From Whom She Was
Separated at Richmond in
Slave Time.
RICHMOND, VA.. April IS.—There
is an old negro "mammy " down in
Macon. Ga., who evidently believes
that she comes of long-lived stock,
for she has written to Police Chief
Wer ner, of this city, trying to locate
her own ''mammy," although she has
been separated from her for three
score years. Her letter, Interpreted
into correct English, is as follows:
"To the Most Honorable Chief of Po
lice of Richmond, Va.
"Dear Kind Sir; This will inform
you that 1 left Richmond 61 years
ago and have been here ever since.
When ! was add in Virginia and
sent to Georgia, my name was Marie

Many thanks and oblige.

A Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are Well and
Happy by Morning.
It is only natural that the sim
plest of ailments should be the
mo9t general, and so we have a
whole nation suffering from con
stipation and indigestion, for they
are closely allied. But common as
constipation is many people do not
seem to know they have It. They
will complain of headache, drowsi
ness or biliousness, all unconscious
of the cause of the trouble.
You should have a full and fre®
movement at least once a day. If
you pass a day you are constipated,
and the result will be that you
will catch a cold easily or have a
more serious ailment. To cure the
constipation and forestall still
graver trouble take a dose of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at night
before retiring and by morning re
lief will come, without disturbance
from slfep or any inconvenience.
Legions of people use it regular
ly in such emergencies, some of
them formerly chronic invalids who
have suffered from constipation all
their lives. Mr. A. B. Danner, 32G
Riley St.. Harrisburg, Pa., says:
“Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin gave
me almost instant relief from stom
ach and bowel trouble. T now eat
anything I want and sleep well.”
Many others will tell you that they
have tried most things recommend
ed for this purpose but have found
Syrup Pepsin the only one. always
reliable. A bottle can be obtained
at any drug store for fifty cents
or one dollar, the latter size being
J
MR. A. B. DANNER.
bought by families already familiar ^
witli Us merits.
Syrup Pepsin is mild, pleasant- [
tasting and non-griping. Mothers v
give it to tiny infants, and yet*jt (
is effective in grownups. It is tqr <
everyone who suffers from any J
form of stomach, liver or bowel
trouble,, constipation, dvspepsla. !
biliousness, etc. Its action will so
delight you that you will forever
avoid harsh cathartics, purgatives, .
pills and salts. {
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you
would like to make a personal trial
of it before buying it in the regu- J
la: way of a druggist, send your
address—a postal will do*—to Dr. [
W. B. Caldwell, 417 Washington
St.. MonticeHo, 11!.. and a free sain- \
pie bottle will be mailed you.
