RECORDERS COURT
Came Near Being a White
Mau’s Affair.
A YOUTH WAS DRUNK.
And Fell Into Th* Hands of
Philistine Juveniles.
With the exception of Frank
Ellis, of darktown, who was
convicted of being drunk and
disorderly and who was fined
$lO, th s morning’s recorder’s
court was a white man’s affair. 1
Tha first sinner called to judg
ment gave his name as Charley
Jewett. He entered a plea of
guilty to a charge of drunk, and
begged manfully to be given an
opportunity to skip. He was
fined $3.
Then came James Williams, a
boy of about 1G who said hi*
home was imar Anniston. Jim
said he had been to Lindale to
get work, and failing, came into
the city with some other boys of
about his own age.
Last night these boys induced
him to go over into the Fourth
ward and promised him a bed,
free of charge.
They insisted upon him tak
ing a drink and though he told
them he never drank they were
kind and persistent, until he
yielded, that one little drink
made him as drunk as a biled
owl and this morning when he
woke up in the police station
and made inquiries he found
his companions had rifled his
pockets of the last 50 cents he
had, and had taken his watch.
Officer Sharp, who found Ji::,
and locked him up, says he saw
the other boys when they h-.i
their victim. Young Williams’
story was told in a straight
forward way, save now and then
when his voice choked.
Recorded Eubanks lectured
the youth and let hiee go.
Will Long and Andy Dawson,
two young white men, for plain
drunks were fined $t each, and
a young farmer was $3.50 for
the same offense.

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion
of Food.
Every living thnig, plant or ani
mal, contains within itself the
germs of certain decay ai d death.
In the human b< dy these germs
of disease and d«ath (called by
scientists Ptomaines), are usually
the result of imperfect digestion
or dyspepsia .
The stomach, from abuse, weak
ness, do?s not promptly and thor
oughly digest the so d. The result
is a heavy, sodden mass which fer
ments (the first process of decay)
poisoning the blood, making it
thin, weak and lacking in red cor
puscles, poisoning the braiu caus
ing headaches and pain in the
eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the bear!,
causing palpitation and finally
bringing on disease of this very
importtint organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kid
neys, causing Bright’s disease a.id
diabetes.
And this is so because every or
gan, every nerve depends upon
the stomach alone for nourishment
and renewal, and weak digestion
show itself not only in loss of ap
petite and flesh, hut in weak
nerves and muddy complexion
The great English scientist,
Huxley, said the best start in life
is a sound stomach Weak stom
achs fai l to digest food properly,
because they lack the proper qua’ -
tity of digestive acids (lactic and
hydrochloric) end p plog-nic pro
ducts, the most sensible remedy
in all cases of indigestion, is to
take after each meal, one or two of
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab'ets, be
cause they supply in a pleasant,
harmless form all the elements
that weak stomach lack ,
The regular use ot Stuart’s Dys
pepsia Tablets will cure every form
of stomach trouble except cancer
of the stomach.
They increase fl sb, insure pure
blood, ste’uDg t erves, a bright eye
and clear complexion, because all
these result only from wholesome
food well digested.
Nearly all druggist sell Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents full

It has been quite a while since

Filled Him With Shot
Ou Saturday night last Mr. .1.
W. Varnon, who lives in Mrs.
George’s house, on Powder
Springs street, heard his dog
barking very ferociously. He
paid no attention until the dog
hollered, as if some one had
struck him. Mr. Varnon picked
up his shotgun and went to the
back door, and he saw a negro
man standing between his coal
house and chicken house, The
negro got a glimpse of Mr. Var
non,v ith the gun about the
same time and broke into a run
to the back of the garden. Just
as the negro was crawling
through a hole in the fence Mr.
Varnon leveled the gun, pulled
the trigger and the gun was
dircharged. The negro won’t be
able to sit down in some time.
