Hatters Men’s Store 1022 Broad St. Furnishers M GLUES FOUND II THE WASHINGTON RUE Seem to Draw Tighter Around Negro Suspects Now in Jail. Bold Case of Arson Thought. Washington, Ga. —With the arrival of Green B. Adair, Jr„ from Atlanta to direct the investigation into the Sunday morning fire which destroy ed his mother’s home near Washing ton, causing a loss of nearly $20,000, and which came very near costing the lives of every member of the house hold, new clues have been found which seem to draw a closer web around the two negro suspects who were jailed here Sunday evening. Mr. Adair was notified by long-dis tance phone of the tire and hastened to Washington to make a thorough investigation of what he bellleves to be not only a bald case of arson, hut an attempt to get revenge for an imagined injury on tlie pdrt of the negro farm hand and his wife by burning the members of the Adair family with the building. The negro and his wife in the Wilkes county jail, stoutly maintain their innocence and state that they are prepared to account for V eir whereabouts all of Saturday night and until the time that they appeared at the Adair home about day-break Sunday morning in response to the fire alarm which was sounded on the plantation bell. The Adairs claim that they have evidence to show that the fire orig inated around the stairway in the double hallway, in the most unlikely place for a fire to have originated. That the private system of water works which was recently installed, had been cut off, rendering any at tempt at fighting the flames hopeless and that several dogs which were kept around the home had been tied under the house. They were burned with the home so that they could not lie called into use lit the event that an effort was made to track the guilty parties. It is claimed that these cir cumstances could not have come about except through the agency of seme one thoroughly acquainted with the domestic affairs of the home. Henry Anderson and his wife, the accused, both worked on the Adair place, the former having formerly been employed as a farm hand, but had lately been told that his services were not satisfactory. The latter had been cook for the Adair family ever since they moved to Wilkes county from Atlanta nearly a year ago.

Lime Combats Tuberculosis 1 ! “It is difficult to escape the convic- ! tion that lime starvation and lime as similation are the real Issues behind the) masks of vulnerability and resistance In tuberculosis,” writes Ira Van Gieson, M. j D., In the May 11, 1912, issue of the New York “Medical Record.” Dr. Van Gieson is eminent in his pro fession, and his assertion that lime as similation is tiio “real issue” in resist ance to tuberculosis bears the stamp of authority. Ordinarily lime is not easily assimi lated medicinally, but Eckman’s Altera tive is one preparation containing it in such form and combination as to insure assimilation by the average person. This is one reason for its success in many cases of tuberculosis which ap parently lutvc yielded to it and others which have been benefited through its i use. Our experience-based faith in this! remedy is shared by a large number of i men and women, who say they owe i health, strength and life to it. It con tains no opiates, narcotics or habit forming drugs, so is safe to try. If your druggist is out of it, be can get it, or you can order direct from us. Eckman Laboratory, Philadelphia.
