High Beef
Affair Which May Cause International
Controversy.
Jackson, Miss., May lo.— An Inter
national controversy Is likely to de
velop over the cold blooded attempt to
assassinate an old Roumanian peddler
and his wife in Fmnklin county, news
of which has just reached here.
Franz and his wife, the couple In
question, were sleeping quietly in tin ir
wagons by tin* roadside when they
were awakened by a fusillade of pistol
phots, quickly followed by the dis
charge of a double barreled shotgun.
Citizens of the neighborhood who were
attracted to the scene found that the
woman’s left leg had been shot off,
while the old peddler's right leg was
po badly riddled that amputation will
bo necessary. According to the best
information obtainable, they arc not
naturalized Ann rican citizens and can
speak but very little English. They
have been taken to New Orleans f »
treatment. The recovery of 4ho old
man Is doubtful.
The circuit Judge and county au
thorities are making an investigation,
and one suspect has b* < n arrested.

BRANSON WRITES

Editor Banner: Mien Katherine
O’Farrell brings ns the good news that

in this school for the education of a
Georgia teacher for efficient service in
the school rooms of the State.

Shonhl I become governor I will urge
the general assembly to promptly and
thoroughly investigate this entire sub
ject with a view to ascertaining why
such convicts were based for each gros‘-|
ly inadi qnate consideration, and to dis
covering whether any Fnch officers have
been gailtv of negligence or corruption
as such, and with a view should any
fraud be established in the making or
procurement of such lease, to have the
earns declared void and the monoys
wrongly reciived by bnch lessee recover
ed and the offending officials aipto
priately punished.
Will you?
Should the general assembly refuse
to act in sneh matter I will exert all the
constitutional power of the executive on
the subject to secure the rights of the
state and have justice otherwise done in
the premises.
Will you?
An early reply to both my letters will
be greatly appreciated. Yours very
truly,
DUPONT GUERRY.
“This commission has had its tran
sactions examined into aod passed upon
by every legislature since it was con
stituted, and shall not wait for either of
the gentlemen named amed above, or
whosoever may be the next executive of
Georgia to urge the investigation of
every official act of each member of the
commission, but will of its own motion
request the legislature to give this de
partment a further thorough and
searching investigation, in order that
the base institution contained in this
letter may be refuted.
All facts connected with the lease of
convicts’labor in 1898, with the names
of each bidder and amount offered, and
the bids accepted were reported to the
general assemby of 1898, and widely
published, and any rumor or institution
that there was negligence or corruption
connect'd therewith or ary fraud in
the making or procurement of any lease,
so far as either of the present commie
sioners are concerned In maliciously
false and deserves this denunciation.

Josh Edgar, of Germantown, Cal. "I
was able to be around but constantly

of and at last was told to try Chamber

Better health

come from
Grape-Nuts
Try the change and ‘cut out” meat fo. breakfast.
Our word for it you will feel “Fit as a Lord” in a week’s time by
breakfasting on Grape-Nuts and cream, a little fruit and perhaps one
or two soft eggs.
If you ever try this experiment, you will always bless the day of
high beef that waked you up.
There’s a reason why Grape-Nuts furnishes power to the body
and brain. 1 he food contains selected parts of the field grains that
furnish phosphate of potash in a natural state that can be assimilated
by the human body, this joins with the albumen of food and forms the
soft filling of the brain and nerve centers.
Feed skillfully and you can “do things ”
The greatest brain workers in America eat Grape-Nuts. “
Ask one or two, they’ll tell you
You meat eaters who are ailing in any sort of way might take a
valuable hint from the following statement of Chief Chemist Wiley,
of the Agricultural Department, in the Daily Press from which we
give the following extracts:—
11 1 here is nodouhtuf tlis fact that the meat-eating is not so essential to human life,
and that men can be well nourished without resorting to a llesh diet.
“1 think the statement may be accepted without question that, as a rule, we eat too
much, not only of meat, but of all forms of food. The question of limiting the diet is
based primarily not on the principle of economy, but on the requirements of hygiene.
“At. the early breakfast which Americans are wont to indulge in, that is, a hearty
meal before going t.<> their daily work, mission of meat is to be earnestly advised.
“It is well known that men who arc nourished wry extensively on certain cereals are
capable of the hardest and most enduring labor. Meats are quickly digested, furnish an
abundance of energy soon after coneumpt ion- but are not retained in the digestive organism
long enough to sustain permanent muscular exertion.”
You will feel the Energy of Grape-Nuts longer than any meal
of meat.
Remember Grape-Nuts food costs about one cent per meal for
each person and all grocers sell it.
