Mothers Should Watch the Deve
Interesting Experiences of
Every mother possesses information ;
which Is of vital interest to her young
-daughter.
Too often this is never imparted or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ecL to the growing girl through her
ignorance of nature's mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls' over-sensitiveness and modesty ,
often puzzle their mothers and baffle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers i
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girl's thoughts become slugfish,
with headache, dizziness or a disposition
to sleep, pains in back or lower ,
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude; ]
when she is a mystery to herself and ,
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink- i
ham's Vegetable Compound will at 1
Pthis time prepare the system for the i
coming change, and start the menstrual J
period in a young girl's life without
pain or irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls :
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's ,
Vegetable Compound has accomplished j
, for them, have been received by the !
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at ,
Lynn, Mass.

lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which

They Met a Bear.
Ernest Orsborn and Bud Arnold, ot
Comptche, report one of the closest
calls of the season in a bear fight.
For some time a large bear has been
bothering their stock, and they had
made several ineffectual attempts to
find Bruin, but could not locate him.
This week they started out and got
the track on Big River, near the
Horse opening.
While they were waiting for the
hounds and sitting comfortably on a
log, something appeared behind them
and knocked Orsborn's gun . out of
\ his hand. Before he had recovered
J from his surprise he was engaged in
j a hand-to-hand encounter with the
j bear, which had doubled on the dogs
and come back on me uumeia.
| One blow of the bears paw broke
| the gun in two and bent the barrel.
I The fight was so fierce that Arnold
i had to wait several minutes before he
| dared to risk a shot, for fear of klllj
ing his companion. Orsborn finally
I begged him to shoot anyway, as he
I said he would rather be shot than
I killed by a bear. Fortunately Arnold
was able to hit the bear, the bullet
just glazing Orsborn's arm, and- the
combatants rolled over on the ground.

Represented in Text of Immigration
Resolutions.
| At Chattanooga, Tenn., Friday, fourteen
southern states, through their
governors, senators, congressmen and
other representative citizens, madp '
their wishes known as to the relations
of state to the federal government
in the matters of quarantine
and of immigration.
Throughout the conference spirited-,
debate was almost uninterrupted as
| to the constitutionality of federal con
trol of interstate healtn matters, uovernor
Vardaman of Mississippi was
a firm advocate of the construction
of state rights, which should prevent
the interference of federal authority
in state affairs. Governor Blanchard
of Louisiana declared that the doctrine
of state's rights could have no
place in the argument. He insisted
that the federal constitution plainly j
makes it the duty of federal govern- ,
ment to exercise such functions. Many
leaders had many followers.
Congressman John Sharp Williams
presented a report which was adopt
j ed with but one dissenting voice, that
j of Senator Mallory of Florida. The
! resolutions follow;
"Resolved. That we, the delegates
from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Missouri, Maryland, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia
and West Virginia, hereby respectfully
request the senate and
house of representatives in congress
assembled to enact a law thereby
coast maritime and national frontier
quarantine shall be placed exclusively
under the control and jurisdiction
of the United States government, and
that matters of interstate quarantine
shall be placed under the control and
jurisdiction of the United States gov
ernment, acting in cooperation with
the several state boards of health.
' Resolved, second, That we urge
j upon the legislatures of the several
' southern states that they enact quar
i antine regulations as nearly as pos[
sible in accord and conformity as
! hereafter enacted. We furthermore^
urge the governors of the said several
states, with this object specifi- |
cully in view, to call the attention of j
the legislatures of their respective
states to the wisdom and the policy
of this course."
j Congressman E. J. Powers of Mississippi,
chairman of the immigration
committee, presented the report of
that committee, which was adopted by
the unanimous vote of the convention.
The resolutions were as follows:
"Whereas the states represented in
this conference and the whole soutti
are possessed of limitless resources,
agricultural^ mineral and timber
lands;
"Whereas, desirable immigration is
needed In order to develop these resources,
and,
"Whereas, we desire to settle with

"Resolved, That it is the sense of
this conference that it does hereby
greet and welcome to our midst all
i industrious and upright white persons
! from any of the European countries,
j and from all sections of the United
States who wish to make their homes
with us to assist in the development
j of our resources and the advancement'
I and multiplication of our varied en
I terprises and industries. Be it furi
ther
"Resolved, That we repudiate and
denounce as untrue any and all ruI
mors and slanders that may have
[ been circulated to the effect that the
south is unfavorable to honest and
industrious w.hite immigrants.
"Whereas, the president of the United
States has recommended to congress
the passage of certain changes
in the present Immigration laws of
this country with a view of making
it more difficult for the pauper and
criminal classes to enter our country.
"Resolved, by this conference of
representative men of the south, Tha?t
j we hereby endorse and approve these
! recommendations and request all of
i the senators and representatives of
the southern states to aid in securing
the passing of such amendments to
existing immigration laws as will tend
to obtain the objects sought.

VETERANS OF GEORGIA
Hold Record-Breaking and Enthusiastic
State Reunion in Macon. !
Wiley Elected Commander.
Thursday at Macon was the greatest
day in the history of reunions
of Georgia veterans. There has never
been such a gathering of these men
oi me civil war 01 ueurgia m au?
one city. Officers and prominent
members state that not less than
000 men who wore the gray were in
Macon.
Early Thursday morning camp after
camp came out from their quarters
and prepared for the day's exercises.
By 10 ?o'clock they had gathered
at the city auditorium for the
business meetings. Many important
matters were briefly disposed of, ana
the meeting was adjourned.
The race for commander terminated
in the choice of General C. M. Wiley
of Macon. There was no opposition.
General West of Atlanta and his
friends declining when the nominations
were made. There was no other
name presented than that of General
Wiley, and with one voice he was
placed in the highest office in the
Georgia division. He succeeds Gen
eral P. A. H. McGlashan of Savannah.
Division commanders as chosen are:
For the eastern brigade, General Jno.
M. Clark of Augusta; the western
General Cobb of Americus; southern
brigade, General Sweat of Waycross,
and for t?e northern, General A. J.
West of Atlanta.
There was little difficulty in choosing
a meeting place .for the year
1906. Griffin asked for the reunion,
but upon the invitation from the Confederate
Veterans' Association and
the McLaws camp of Savannah the
next meeting place fell to that city.
Governor Terrell and members of
his staff arrived in Macon Wednesday
night and were the guests of the
veterans Thursday, as well as of the
city. Soon afcer the opening of the
business meeting at the auditorium,
he was introduced to the large gathering
and made a stirring address. He
was enthusiastically received and his
tribute to the men of the south in the
civil war won the old soldiers in great
style. He spoke for only a brief
period.-. ' *v

SHERIFF SAVES PRISONER.
Atlanta Mob Sought to Lynch Negro
Assailant of White Woman.
After being identified by Mrs. Geo.
W. Moore of Atlanta as the negro
who had assaulted her, Jim Walker,
brouglit as a prisoner from Fairburn,
Ga., Thursday morning, came near
being lynched by a crowd of angry
citizens. For more than an hour there
was a scene of the most intense excitement
on the Peachtree road, between
the Moore home at Brookwood,
and the spot where preparations were
made to hang the negro.
The rude gallows had been erected,
the knot had been tied, the noose
placed on the negro's neck and the
other end of the rope thrown over the
cross-beam of the gallows when Sheriff
Nelms appeared on the scene witn
a deputy and three county policemen.
Amid a crowd that seemed bent on
taking the law into their own hands,
while pistol shots were fired and
cries of "Kill him," "Shoot him,"
"Lynch him." rent the air, the sheriff
and his small posse rescued the prisoner,
threw him into an automobile
and made all speed to the city and
to the Atlanta tower, where the negro
was placed in a cell.
George Moore, the husband of the
negro's victim, counselled forbearance
on the part of the citizens, and his
sons later made the same plea for
the law to take its course, as they had
previously promised the sheriff that
the prisoner would not be harmed,
