THURSDAY, JANUARY 14. Believes in Peruna “This splendid medicine took right hold of me, drove every bit of the disease out, and built me up until I felt stronger than I had for years. “Whenever I have been exposed, now a couple of doses always restores me. Peruna is an ideal protector in all sorts of weather.” Speaking ... THE... Public Mind SITUATION IN OUR HANDS. To the Herald: Here we are trying to devise some means to make more work and we lose sight of the fact that we hold the situation in our own hands. Here is the situation: if we who have jobs will pay our debts and pay them promptly that will restore confidence and the men that have money will not he afraid to turn it loose and the people who are out of work will be taken care of until they can get some thing to do. In my opinion betrayal of trust and misplaced confidence are responsible for all this shortage of money and suspension of business. So let’s get busy and pay ourselves and see that the other fellow pays and we will all be happy. Very truly yours, PROGRESSIVE. ABOUT THE SCHEDULE ON THE C. & W. C. R. R. DOWN FROM AUGUSTA. To the Herald: Will you kindly allow me space in your valuable paper to complain about the treatment that the traveling pub lic has to put up with in regard to the passenger service on the Charles ton & Western Carolina R. K. going down the road to either Charleston or Vort Royal. Now as a patron of the road. I wish to say that people who live along the line have a Just kick coming. To think that when they want to come to Augusta as per present schedule to either trade or attend to business they are obliged to remain in Augusta for 25 1-2 hours between trains. The only train to Augusta arrives at about 12:30 p. m. when on time, and leaves at 2 p. m. Well you know a person having to trade or transact business cannot get through in one and a half hours. Thus they are forced t-> remain in Augusta at great expense for 25 1-2 hours. When the short train that was operated for a while left Augusta at 5:30 in the morning and returning at 6 p. m. the same day was all light. Passengers arriving at 6 p. m. could leave at 2 p. m. next day and not he forced to remain over for 25 1-2 hours. This train was taken off and is now run ning between Allendale and Port Roy al. The reason given is that between Augusta and Allendale it did not pay. I claim that all business houses doing business for the last twelve months are not paying expenses either, but but they are >till in buskn hoping some lay that trr.de will pi; >. up. 1 should say tha the same r.il,’ should apply to the railroad- and again you may ask any general manager of any railroad in the south, and tl. y will tell you as a rule passenger trains do not pay, with possibly few exceptions. I say give the traveling public good passenger service and I say the rail roads will get increased freigh* to handle. If the C. <t W. C. will not put back the train leaving at 5:30 a. m. let them have their passenger train leave Charleston say two hours earlier in the morning, arriving at Au gusta say at 10:30 a. m., and allow the people down the road a chance to trade and attend to their business in Augusta and return home on the two o’clock train. Thus giving 4 1-2 hours in Augusta. As this passenger train arriving at 12:30 noon does not con nect with any outgoing train (no con nection at all), on the other hand by arriving at 10:30 a. m. it would con nect with the up train going to Green wood, Spartanburg and Greenville and all points in western Carolina. Why all the people living from Martins, S. down the entire length of the road take trains from Fairfax and Allen dale to Columbia, and then to Spar tanburg and other points up the road. Now this should not be the case. I claim that their train coming to Au gusta from Charleston and all way points should connect with their up train, allowing their patrons to reach their destination in the afternoon of the same day, rather than he forced to go around by Columbia and travel at night. I say agalr give the people good passenger ser ice and I am sure the road will get increased freight business. As I understand the matter the railroads are cut for business and lelt them give gool convenient sched ules. I will guarantee the people will I ride and after a while it will pay well. PATRON. I INNOCULATE PENNSY BOAT CREW. TYPHOID VACCINE Philadelphia.—When Coach Vivian ! Nickalls called out the Vnlversity of 'Pennsylvania oarsmen yesterday In' Weightman Hall he announced that the men will be innooulated with ty- j phoid vaccine. About twenty have al ready been vaccinated and Nlckaila de- j clared they are now immune from ty- ! phoid fever, which last year broke up a powerful crew. This is said to be the first time on record that the members of a crew have been innoculaleU against typhoid ! m TOURIST HOTEL IS OPEN AT AIKEN The Highland Park Now Open For Reception of Guests, and Tourist Season Well On Aiken, S. C. —Aiken’s new tourist hotel, the Highland Park,, which has just been completed, has been thrown open for the reception of guests. Tuesday night the people of Aiken were invited to inspect the new High land Park hotel, and a formal recep tion was held. Thursday night the new hotel will be thrown open to the Aiken cottage colony, and a dance will be given. The new Highland Park has been erected on the site of the old High land Park hotel, which was destroyed jby fire some 17 years ago. It represe sents an investment, including the site, of more than *IOO.OOO the build ing unfurnished costing about SBO,- 000. All local capital Is represented in the holding company. The new hotel is of Spanish archi tecture and is ideally located in a reservation of 400 acres on which there is an excellent golf course and convenient tennis courts. The hotel is modern in all its appointments, private baths between every two rooms, and many of the suits are ar ranged with parlors. J. F. Champlin, an experienced hotel man, has leased the Highland Park for a term of years. Since the burning of the Park-in the-Pines Hotel two years ago Aiken has been without a large tourist ho tel. The Aiken colony is rapidly filling, practically all the homes here which are owned by northern people having been thrown open, and the winter sea son is now well on with the opening of the splendid new hotel. Mr. George A. Douglas, No. 49 East 131st St., New York, N. Y., writes: “As my work compels me to spend a large part of my time out of doors, I have often been drenched by sud den rains, chilled by extreme cold, and I soon found that I had a bad case of catarrh of the bronchial tubes. “I tried plas ters and medi cine, but noth ing I did seemed to help me until I took Peruna. A FEW FRIENDLESS DERELICTS. STATE FARM, MAY GO FREE Atlanta.—Like Haroun-al-Rashid of Arabian Nights fame, Governor John M. Slaton has been moving among the unfortunate and playing friend to the friendless, with the result that seve ral human dereliots, sent years ago to the state prison farm and forgot ten by all who knew them, may re ceive paroles and be given their lib erty. The governor has just returned from Milledgeville, where he spent several days on the farm, talking to the pris oners, hearing of their troubles, ask ing about their records and their con duct. “How long has this old man been here?” he asked In one case. "Eighteen years,” replied the war den. "He is up for life. And there were mitigating circumstances, I un derstand. He Ims been a good pris oner always.” “Has he any friends? Any rela tives?” “He hasn't had a letter or a visit from the outside world for ten years. “Young Folks” Days —————■AT THE BOOTERY F riday Saturday We offer prudent parents a host of special values in seasonable CHILDREN SHOES Boy Shoes Box Calf, Gun Metal, and Vici.

DINT STAY BILIOUS, CONSTIPATED I guarantee “Dodson’s Liver Tone” will give you the best Liver and Bowel cleansing you ever had. Calomel makes you sick; you lose a day’s work.

If you are bilious; feel lazy, sluggish and all knocked out, if your bowels are constipated and your head aches or stomach Is sour, just take a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Elver Tone instead of using sickening, salivating calomel. Dodson's Elver Tone is real liver medi cine.

The governor ma,de.a note of this case, and a dozen others. The six hundred prisoners at the farm include many apparently friendless, for whom no appeal for clemency has been made. There are many negroes, serving a harsh sentence for a minor crime, who have given up hope and who expect to end their days in prison stripes. The governor wants to do something for these, to give them the same chance that a' convict with influential friends might have. So he will ask the prison commission to investigate the cases and report whether paroles for the abandoned ones would be jus tified. • LITTLE GIRL BURNED TO DEATH ON BTH BIRTHDAY Atlanta, Go.--Little Blanche Ber man of 310 South Pryor street, had a birthday and new toys and was happy at being eight years old.

Shd Jumped out of bed in her little nightie and ran into the room. There was an open grate fire be neath the mantel where the picture lay, and the flames reached out and licked the child’s flimsy gown. Sho screamed and her mother came run ning, but Blanche opened the door and ran out, screaming in agony. She had run a block down the street, to her grandmother’s house, before sho could be caught. And there, in grand mother’s bed, she died a few hours later, and saying at the last that she hoped her mother had not been burn ed too. TOO MUCH POLITENESS. “Now, then, young man,” said the angry father, “didn't you see that hoard when you came trespassing in these woods?” “Yes, sir,” said the culprit meekly. “Well, what did it say?” “I dunno.
