“killings,” reported recently in the
criminal line in Georgia was that made
during the present week by Detectives
C. P. Moore and E. L. Foster, of the
South Coast Detective agency, of Ma
con, at Preston, in Webster county.
The detectives were summoned to
Preston by the county commissioners
to unravel the mystery of the killing
of Artiie Collins, a negro, on March
22. The detectives succeeded in fas
tening the crime on Charlie Davis, an
other negro. At the same time they
rounded up a buch of crap shooters,
eleven in number, and in addition got
seven of the negroes on the charge of
violating the state prohibition law.
Webster, county has for some time
been overrun by a gang of bad ne
groes, who have committed numerous
crimes against the laws of the staate.
When the local officials were unable
to cope with the situation they sent to
Macon for the detectives to help them.
Quitman. —The county of Brooks,
one of the richest farming sections of
the state of Georgia, is planning the
most tremendous development cam
paign ever undertaken by a county in
the south. Before starting the cam
paign they are seeking an effective
“slogan” to be used in all the litera
ture sent out during the campaign.
The Brooks County Industrial club, lo
cated at Quitman, Ga., is offering a
cash prize of $25 for the best slogan
submitted. The executive committee
of the organization, or a committee ap
pointed by them, will go over all the
slogans submitted and decide upon the
one to be used.
Gainesville. —The home place of Mrs.
Helen D. Longstreet, wife of the late
Confederate general, James A. Long
street, was sold before the courthouse
door for taxes by Sheriff E. A. Spen
cer. Col. H. H. Dean bought the prop
erty for $3,515. It is said then, were
several mortgages against the prop
erty.
Helena. —The largest lire in the his
tory of Helena occurred, destroying
eight business establishments and also
damaging the Citizens’ bank building
and the Helena Grocery company’s
buildings to such an extent that they
will have to be vacated. The fire orig
inated in the cellar of a barber shop
and quickly spread to adjoining wood
en buildings and was beyond control in
a few minutes. Mr. Carson, who was
occupying the second floor of his store,
was awakened just in time to escape
with his life. Very little insurance was
carried by any of the firms. The loss
is about $25,000, Carson & Son, City
Drug company and J. Firedman Dry
Goods company being the heaviest los
ers.
-Columbus. —A conference of those in
terested in the improvement of the
Chattahoochee river system ws held
in Columbus and the meeting com
mitted itself to the proposition of im
proving the river between Eufaula,
Ala., and its mouth, by the construc
tion of locks and dams. Atlanta and
Savannah, Ga., and St. Andrews and
Apalachicola, Fla., were represented at
the meeting. Lester C. Slade of Co
lumbus presided and Lelan J. Hender
son was secretary. Mayor E. I. Brown
of Montgomery, in charge of the river
improvement work in this district for
the United States government, attend
ed the conference and addressed an
audience of business men at the court
house. It was brought out that by
the contsruction of a few locks and
dams a six-foot channel the year round
can be assured for the upper Chatta
hoochee. The expressions of those at
tending the meeting and the data pre
sented will be used to influence the
government to undertake this work.
T. W. Hadley, an engineer in charge of
power plants in Atlanta, attended the
meeting. Mr. Hadley thought the pro
posed plan practicable. He did not
think it would be practicable, how
ever, to undertake to make the rive:
navigable between Columbus and At
lanta.

What He Would Have Done.
Ben Foster was noted for his shift
lessness. If it had not been for his
wife he would not have done a stroke
of work on his little farm and garden.
It was all his wife could do to get
him to work, for he preferred to sit
and read all day.
One evening, after he had been
reading French history with deep in
terest, he closed the book and said to
his wife, “Do you know, Maria, what
I’d 'a' done if I had been Napoleon?”
“Oh, yes, I know’ well enough,” his
wife responded. “You’d have settled
right down on a farm in Corsica and
let It ran to ruin while you grumbled
about your hard luck.” —Youth’s Com

FACE COVERED WITH PIMPLES
214 Brevard St., Tampa, Fla. —
“Some three years ago I commenced
to suffer from a rash on my face and
back. Before the pimples came on my
face there were a lot of blackheads. It
looked as if the blackheads turned
into pimples because after a little
while all of them were gone and my
face was covered with pimples. They
were small at first but gradually
grew and right at the end of each
pimple it was all white. I carelessly
picked them with my finger nails,
which made them spread, and I soon
discovered them on my back. My
back was covered with pimples and
my face the same way. At night I
could hardly sleep on account of the
burning and itching sensation they
caused. I did not like to go out be
cause the pimples caused disfigure
ment.

WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE. ALAMO. GEORGIA.
HAD SOME DISTANCE TO GO
Irish Boy, In Sore Predicament, Re
tained to the Full His Native
Country’s Wit.
Francis J. Kilkenny, a Chicagoan,
and one of the organizers of the Irish
home-going movement, tells an amus
ing story about his early struggles in
America. He was a green boy, with
the native peat still clinging to his
shoes, but he was not afraid of work,
and was determined to get on In
the new country.
Accordingly he bought a lawn mow
er and made a house-to-house canvass
of the neighborhood, with the object
of finding lawns to mow. At one place
where he had applied for work an un
friendly dog, bristling like a porcu
pine, leaped out at him with hostile
intent.
The boy fled but found escape
barred by a high board fence, with
a formidable row of nails along its
top. Hotly pursued by the growling
canine, he made a leap for the fence,
but half the way over caught his pants
on one of the spikes and hung there
helpless.
The lady of the house, appearing
to call off the dog, couldn’t repress
a laugh at the sorry spectacle the
little fellow made.
"Why, hello!” she exclaimed, “when
did you get over?"
"Begorry, madam,” replied the im
paled one, “by the looks iv me, sure.
I’m not over yet.”
Scientist’s Heavy Brain.
Dr. Alphonse Bertillon, head of the
criminal identification bureau of the
Paris prefecture of police, left his
skull by will to the Academy of Med
icine. Dr. Manouvrier has dissected
the bequest and finds that the brain
weighs 1,525 grams, as against the
weight of tlie normal brain of 1,301)
grams. The weight, is regarded as all
the more remarkable when it is re
membered that Dr. Bertillon had for
a long time suffered from pernicious
anaemia.
IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don’t Look Old! Try Grandmother’s
Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray,
Faded, Lifeless Hair.
Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about 50 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied—it’s so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. —Adv.

Good Cheer Aids
Digestion of Food
dyspeptics Can Make the Rest of
the Family Happy by Using
a Laxative-Tonic.
The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table depend so
much on the good digestion of each
individual present that the experiences
of some former dyspeptics who over
came their trouble should be of inter
est to those now suffering in this
way.
The best advice one can give—but it
is advice that is seldom heeded—is to
eat slowly and masticate each mouth
ful carefully. However, if slow eating
and careful mastication fall the next
aid is one close to nature, Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin. This remedy is
an excellent digestant, and in addition
to helping in the digestion of the food,
acts gently on the liver and bowels,
ridding them of the accumulation of
waste that should long ago have been
passed off. It is safe, reliable, pleas
ant-tasting, and results are guaran
teed.
Maj. S. Martin, of Joplin, Mo., now
77, thinks Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
has helped him to a longer and hap
pier life. He has not felt so good in
years as he has since taking this ex
cellent medicine, and In spite of his
77 years he says he feels like a boy.
It is the ideal remedy for indiges
tion, no matter how severe; constipa
tion, no matter how chronic, bilious
ness, headaches, gas on the stomach,
drowsiness after eating and similar
annoyances.

You can obtain Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at any drug store for fifty cents
or one dollar, the latter size being
bought by heads of families already
familiar with its merits. Results are
always guaranteed or money will be
refunded.
When you use Syrup Pepsin you will
see the fallacy of chewing mints and
tablets or of taking cathartics, salts,
pills and similar drastic medicines. Un
like these, Syrup Pepsin does not lose
its good effect, and by automatically
training the stomach and bowel mus
cles to do their work, soon restores
these organs to normal.
Families wishing to try a free sam
ple bottle can obtain it postpaid by ad
