A TIME OF FAIN AND PERIL
Miss Emma Cole Says that Lydla E
Plnkham's Vegetable Compound has
Saved Her Lite and Made Her Well
How many lives of beautiful young1
Skirls have been sacrificed just as they
were ripening into womanhood ! How
many irregularities or displacements
have been developed at this important
period, resulting in years of suffering 1
jj
* Girls' modesty ard oversensitiveness
often puzzle their ^mothers and baffle
physicians, because they withhold their
confidence at this critical period.
A mother should come to her child's
aid and remember that Lydia ?. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will at this
time prepare/the system for the coming
change and start the menstrual period
in a young girl's life without pain or
irregularities.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:?
" I want to tell you that I am enjoying better
health than I have for years, and 1 owe
S ' 'itall to Lydia E. Pinkham's vegetable Compound.
When fourteen years of age I suffered almost
constant pain, and for two or three
years I had soreness and pain in my side,
headaches and was dizzy and nervous, and
. doctors all failed to help me.
? "LydiaE. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound
.}was recommended, and after taking it my
health began to improve rapidly, and I think
it saved my life. I sincerely hope my experience
will be a help to other girls who are passing
from girlhooa to womanhood, for I know
your Compound will do as much for them."
* If you know of any young girl who is
sick and needs motherly advice ask her
to write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass.,
and she will receive free advice which
will put her on the right road to astrong,
r' healthy and happy womanhood.

MALARIA???
Generally That in Not the Trouble.
Persons with a susceptibility to malarial
influences should beware of coffee,
which has a tendency to load up the
liver with bile.
A lady writes from Denver that she
suffered for years from chilis and fever
which at last she learned were mainly
produced by the coffee she drank.
"I was also grievously afflicted with
headaches and indigestion." she says,
"which I became satisfied were likewise
largely due to the coffee I drank.
Six months ago I quit its use altogether
and began to drink Postum

suit that my headaches have disappeared,
my digestion has been restored
and I have not had a recurrence of
chills and fever for more than three
months. I have no doubt that it was
Postum that brought me this relief, for
I have used no medicine while this
improvement has been going on." (It
was really relief from congestion of the
liver caused by coffee.)
"My daughter has been as great a
coffee drinker as I. and for years was
afflicted with terrible sick headaches,
which often lasted for a week at a
time. She is a brain worker and excessive
application together with the
headaches began to affect her memory
most seriously. She found no help in
medicines and the doctor frankly advised
her to quit coffee and use Postum.

by Uncle Sam Just Now.
SIS LEFT TO ITS FATE
Decision to "Hands Off'' Reached at
Conference at White House.
Serious Situation Prevails in
Little Island.
A Washington special says: For
the present there will not be any interference
by the United States in
the difficulty which has arisen in
Santo Domingo. The trouble is regarded
by the state department officials
as entirely an internal, one, and
so Icng as outside interests are not
menaced, this attitude of non-interference
will be maintained. If, however,
conditions should change materially,
and lawless acts should be committed
against Americans and American
Interests, and involving the collection
of Dominican customs by this
government, or other acts of violence
occur which, in the opinion of the officials
in Washington, would make it
proper for this government to interfere,
this step will be. taken and
measures adopted to quell the trouble.
This decision was reached oy tn?
state department officials and confirmed
at a conference at the white
house late Tuesday afternoon, in
which the president, Secretary Root,
Secretary Taft and Secretary Bonaparte
participated. The cabinet officers
remained at the white house
until nearly 6 o'clock p. m. The
gathering, however, was not called
specifically for the purpose of discussing
matters developing in Santo
Domingo, but to consider several questions
which the president was anxious
to dispose of preliminary to hia
departure for an outing of several
days in Virginia.
Advices received by cable at the
state and navy departments from
Santo Domingo indicate that a serious
condition of affairs exist there.
The captain of the port of Puerto
Plata has been shot and killed during
an insurrectionary movement and the
governor of that province has defied
the general government and barricaded
the town. The Dominican government
has issued a. decree removing
the governor. The state department
has determined that this is an internal
difficulty, and will not intervene
at this stage.
The secretary of war received the
following cablegram from the comptroller
and receiver of the Dominican
customs, Edwards, dated at Santo Domingo:
"Carlos F. Morales, dissatisfied with
-t-i- -A ?X 1^*4.
uciuiuei suppui i, it;iL cayiuii x ucsuajr
night with few followers. His intention
seems to he to join Jiministas
in opposition to Horacistas. Conflict
between the two forces is imminent
probably in vicinity of San Juan or
vicinity of Puerto Plata. Carlos F.
Morales may make attempt to establish
new capital and create a new
cabinet Political excitement, but
without disturbance present Receivership
is not affected yet George R.
Colton should be at Monte Christl
Tuesday."
A cable dispatch from Santo Domingo,
under Monday's date, was as
follows: Following the announcement
that the president of the republic,
Morales, has left the capital for
an unknown destination, troops were
sent in pursuit of the chief magistrate.
What took place after that
cannot be definitely determined.
RAILROAD DEAL REPORTED.

A report has reached Swainsboro,

P. Kimbrough of the fourth class bej
gan at the naval academy, Annapolis,

j Midshipman Qeorge Hewlett of the
! third class was the first witness. The
I
witness testified that he had looked
in the door of room 53 in Bancroft
! hall on the evening of December 12,
i and that he had seen Kimbrough standing
on his head and Coffin and Kimbrough's
roommate in the room with
him. Witness said that he left the vicinity
cf room 53 and remained away
about five minutes. When he returnI
ed Kimbrough was still on his head
and Coffin was the only other person

ill LUC I UUUi.
The witness was asked to illustrate
what "standing on the head" meant.
He put his head on the floor and
raised his feet a few inches from the
ground in a series of jumps. The exercise
apparently put much strain on
the legs and arms, and was hard on
the head. Kimbrough also exhibited
this performance to the court later.
Midshipman Kimbrough was the
next witness,' and it developed that
he was unable to identify Coffin as
the man who had hazed him. The
rule, it appears, is that no lower class I
man must look at an upper class man
under such circumstances, and this
was so rigidly observed in the present
case that Kimbrough could not
say that Coffin had hazed him. He
told, however, how he had been hazed
by being compelled to stand on his
head.
He had been hazed, he said, until
he gave out entirely. Then the midshipman
who was doing the hazing
threw water over him and compelled
him to go on again. He brought the
relation up to the point where he lost
consciousness.
He had gained consciousness, he

Lieutenant Commander Charles B.
McVev, Jr., was the last witness during
the morning session. He Is attached
to the department of discipline
at the academy and is a member of J
the board of investigation now going
into the subject of hazing at the academy.
The witness during his testi^
mony said that he had , learned a
great deal about hazing during the
last few weeks.
He discovered that Midshipman
Hewlett had looked into the room and
seen the hazing of Kimbrough. He
informed Hewlett that unless he told
the name of the midshipman he would
either be reported for disobeying orders
or be called before the board
of investigation in the morning and
compelled to testify.
Hewlett was allowed time to make
up his mind, and in the meantime
Coffin sought an interview with the
witness. At this point the counsel
?or the accused objected to the testimony
after an alleged confession'
"i asked the court to be allowed to
interrogate the witness. This the
court permitted, but took a recess at
this point.
Upon reassembling the court admitted
the testimony of Lieutenant Commander
McVey as to Coffin's confession.
Coffin, the witness said, admitted
hat he had stood Kimbrough on his
head for about ten minutes.

of the world's production of petroleum
prepared by the British board of trade,
which has just reached the bureau of
statistics of the department of commerce

RESPITE FOR THE RAWLINGS.

Governor Terrell has granted a

?Alf Moore?sentenced to be hanged
in Valdosta, Ga., January 5 for the
murder of the Carter children.
The respites in the cases of old man
Rawlings and his sons were granted

In the case of Alf Moore the governor

Following dosely upon the heels
of the president's message, in which

upon the great question of railroad
regulation, comes the first positive
movement toward a compromise.
This is in the shape of a proposition

West Virginia.
A
GASH WAS SCARCE
Call Money Reached High
Rate in New York.
UNCLE RUSS TO RESCUE
Veteran Wall Street Financier, Sage,
Made Ten Strike by Loaning Six
Million Dollars at the Rate of
One Hundred Per Cent.
After having reached 110 per cent
on the 'New York stock exchange and
125 per cent on privately arranged
loans, the rate for call money late
Thursday afternoon fell to 6 per cent.
Just before the close it advanced
again and closed 15 bid, offered ,at
20.
As the money rate fell, the stock
market advanced, approximately the
highest prices of the day were reached
at the close. The stock market,
except for an early decline In industrials,
was fairly steady throughout
the money tension.
The advance in the interest rate
was sensationally rapid. From 60
there was a quick advance to 75, 90
and then 100 per cent. When 100 per
cent was touched all records since December,
1899, were broken. In that
year 186 per cent was paid for call

there were loans at 90 per cent.
The 90 per cent quotation did not last
long, and at 11 o'clock 110 per cent
was paid for funds, and shortly afterwards
a loan of $400,000 at 125 p6r
cent was reported. *
Russell Sage, through his representative,
was reported to have loaned
$6,000,000 at 90 to 100 per cent. More
than the usual discrimination wa3
shown by the banks in the collateral
accepted by them for loans. The
i ate for GO and 90-day loans Thursday
was 6 per cent and a "commission,"
making such loans really equivalent
to 9 per cent. By 1 o'clock the
''demand for money seemed to have
een largely supplied and money was
lent at 60- per cent, falling later to 20
per cent. Frcm 20 per cent there was
a further drop to 6 per cent and at
2:45 o'clock (the quoted rate was 6 to
10 per cent. President Hepburn of
the Chase National bank said, in an
interview:
"The enormous volume of business
which obtains throughout the country
is making a strong demand upon the
banking power and naturally has materially
advanced the rates of interest.
"The foreign exchange credit which
the country would normally have is
j much curtailed by the shortage of
i cars, which prevents the rapid mar
I kettng abroad or cotton ana grain,
and also by the concerted withholding
of cotton for higher prices.
"Normally, we would anticipate such
exchange by our credit abroad, but
Europe has troubles of its own. Hence,
we are called up<m to finance our
great volume of business practically
with our own resources. It is unfori
tunate that at such a time and under
such circumstances that prices of listed
securities should be persistently
advanced day by day. It has added
to the money strain and is primarily
responsible for the high rates
of interest
I "Stocks (if worthy) would have
found a higher level in a normal manner
without creating an unusual strain
and without causing conditions fraught
with possible danger."

I through route from the west to the Atlantic
seaboard, according to the
latest gossip current in railroad circles.
-'Cf
The Coast Line is now the owner of
everything necessary to create this
through4 trunk line from the west with
the exception of the short connecting .
link of 88 miles between Atlanta and
Macon, and this, so far as the report ?
goes, it has taken determined steps
to secure.
In other words, the Atlantic Coast
Line is said to have submitted a delt
nite statement to the Southern rail*
way and the Central of -Georgia that
It must have a traffic arrangement
with one or the other of them fotf its
through business between Atlanta
and Macon, and in the event of a refusal
of both of these systems to ,
enter into sstch an agreement, t&tf
Coast Line will, it Is stated, build an *
Atlanta-Macon line of Its own. ; !
It would appear that the Atlantic
Coast Line has had this plan in view
for some time past. The Coast Line
appeared upon the scene as the par*
chaser of the Macon, Dublin and Sawonnoh
wiUrno A. oK/viif Via f'
t un I i IWiil *?**?* C?MV<4V WAV " T"? . u?V
Louisville and Nashville began active
work upon its plans for getting Into
Atlanta.
A question was raised in the United States
courts which for a time looked *
like a serious one, as to the Coast-1
Line's right to buy the Macon, Bah* *.
lin and Savannah. This question was
recently decided in the Uziited Spates
court of appeals at New Orleans in! J
the Coast Line's favor, and the Coast s
Line now becomes the owner of the j
Macon, Lublin and Savannah without
legal encumbrances.
The Macon,v Dublin and Savaiifcahr';
runs in practically a straight line frooi
Macon to Vidalia, in Montgomery |
county, a point on the Seaboard
Line. v K v ^
By building, from Vidalia to a p<5ta??7on
the main line of-the Atlantic ?bfitfc',*
Line between Jesup and Savannah, a
distance of about 60 miles, the Coast /;
Line will secure a through line from Macon
to Savannah, shorter than.that
of the Central of -Georgia?in fac&~
practically an air line.
The Atlantic Coast. Line is the ad*
mitted owner of the Louisville and
Nashville, and within the next three
months will be running its own trains
into Atlanta from Cincinnati and othefi ^
western points. This will come with
the completion of the Cartersville cutoff
and the work being done on~ tii%i
Western and Atlantic in order to pre*S
pare that portion of the latter r rotfti
between Atlanta and Carteravila
handling the increased business. ; I
Thus it will be seen that all the Afcj
lantlc Coast Line needs for'the pur-> J
pose of establishing its through west-'
era trunk line is, as stated, the short m
connecting link between Atlanta fl
Macon.
It is understood, the Coast Line de^ a
sires this traffic arrangement solely fl
for the purpose of handling It*
through business from the west to I
the Atlantic seaboard, and would not, I
of course, interfere with any local a
traffic. ; I
If, however, the Southern and Cen
tral both decline to enter into any
such arrangement, the indications are a
that the Coast line is ready to .build a
an Atlanta-Macon branch of itw own. I
