ENTIRE CITY IS SHAKEN
AND MANY ARE EXCITED.
Atlanta People Are Dumfounded by Sensational Results that Fol
low Use of Strange New Liquid and Reports of Startling '
Cures Continue to Appear.
CAN NOW BE OBTAINED AT DRUG STORE HERE.
Home People Will Have Opportunity to Investigate New Liquid
That Has Caused So Much Excitement by Remarble
Results in Atlanta and Elsewhere.
Atlanta Ga. There seems to be uo
end to the excitement that has been
created here by the strange and mys
tifjing results following the use of the
new Root Juice treatment in cases of
stomach and kidney disorders and
rheumatism.
Some of the severest cases that could
be found have been treated success
fully with the new liquid and so quick
have the results been in many cases
that the sufferers aud their friends
were dumfounded.
Persons who were helpless from
rheumatism for months and who had
to be carried about claim to have re
covered as if by miracle after using
the strange new medicine for a very
short time and are now walking the
streets enjoying the best of health.
Sufferers Irorn stomach trouble, who
could not drink a glass of water w ith
out suffering afterward and .who
claimed to have suffered agonies from
indigestion, headaches, belching, and
' bloating, pains after meals and other
simiki- ri stresses now declare they
i . . rty appetite, can eat any
j .. -nd never suiter from any of
uicbe symptoms.
Many prominent and influential peo
ple or this city have used the treat
ment with pronounced success and a
number have given out statements
for publication. Among these is Mr.
H. P. Seay, 19 E. Pavillion Street,
whose wife has been practically an in
valid for four years. When seen and
asked about his wife's experience, Mr.
Seay said: "It is true that Mrs. Seay
has been wonderfully benefited by the
new treatment. She has been suffer
ing from stomach and kidney troubles
for four j'ears and lately these became
complicated with nervous prostration.
We tried several doctors, but they did
not seem to help her and then we
started trying every remedy we heard
of. During her illness Mrs. Seay has
used one hundred aud forty bottles 'of
various well-known medicines with
but little or no relief- She is now on
the third uoiU- of this new Root
Juice treatment and we are delighted
with the results. She has gained in
strength, has a splendid appetite,
sleeps well at night and feels better
than she has in four years. In fact
three bottles of this new medicine
has done more for her than all the
hundred aud forty I spoke of."
At almost any hour of the day in
the drug store where the new med
icine was explained one could hear
shories of startling results obtained
by those who have len using it.
A very interesting and remarkable
experience was related by Mr. Wilson
Gaines of 318 Western avenue, who is
well-known in railway circles, having
been employed as switchman by the
Central Railway of Georgia for eight
years. Mr. Gaines explained that he
had been troubled on and off for Ave
years and that he suffered intensely.
When asked to give a description of
his case he said: "I suffered fearfully
from rheumatism in my joints and it
was especially severe during wet or
changeable weather. My digestion
was poor and I would sometimes belch
gas after eating, x suuerea uisu iruiu
headaches, backaches, painful urina
tion and was nervous fnd irritable
One Girl's Bravery.
Violet Perry, a New York
girl, stood in her doorway of her
home one night recently, to say
good-night to a friend, when a
little puff of smoke rose from
-floor, almost at her feet. With
an exclamation of surprise the
girl looked down. On the floor
lay an object unlike any she had
ever seen, though instinctively
she recognized something sinis
ter rin its appearance. Three
fuses were sputtering and smok
ing, and little crails of fire writh
ed toward the central mass

had not been mistaken. The
mysterious object was a bomb,
made of three sticks of dyna
mite, each weighing a pound,
.and each stick had a seperate

Sometimes I could not sleep at night
and I grew weak and run down.. I
tried several doctors and least ten or
twelve medicines without rinding a
cure. I have been using this new
Root Juice treatment twenty days
now and am feeling better every day.
I have spent at least $250 seeking a
cure without even getting relief, but
I find the juice treatment is fast cur
ing me. The medicine has proved to
be worth its weight in gold to me."
Mr. II. L. Bassinger, of 118 Elm
street, Macon, said he had suffered
jrom rheutism and stomach trouble
for nine years and that although four
doctors had told him there was no
cure lor him, the first bottle of the
juice treatment had given him relief
and that he was feeling line.
A lady who gave her name as Mrs.
Mattie Colquitt and her address as 400
Cromley streee, said: "I suffered thir
teen years from indigestion, gas on
the stomach and belching. I used to
throw up half what I ate and suffered
fearfully. I spent a lot of money on
doctors and medicines, but got no re
lief. When 1 heard about Root Juice
and the great things it was doing for
the sick, I tried it and although I
have taken only one bottle I am be
ginning to feel fine. My food digests
now and what I eat stays down. I
know this new medicine is doing me a
world of good and I believe it is going
to cure me completely afier thirteen
years of suffering. I, for one, can
certainly recommend it to any one in
my condition."
Lack of space makes it impossible to
print all of the many similar stories
that were told, but it is safe to say
that at least a dozen people recited
equally interesting and startling ex
periences. "WONDEREUL 3IEDICIXE CAN NOW 1?E

women of every walk in life are shoul

state from inflicting the death punish
ment upon Mrs. Bessie .7. "Wakefield,
convicted as an accomplice in the mur

fui and unwarranted the carrying out
of the court edict that ilrs. Wakefield
shall be hanged.
From every corner of the state the
protests of the women are being voiced
in the form of publicly circulated peti
tions to which many thousands of
names are being signed daily, in pub
licity campaigns and in personal de
mands being made upon members of
the state board of pardons, legislator's
and jurists. Although Mrs. Wakefield
still is in a cell in the prison death
house, ho word yet has been received
bjT her indicating what will be the re
sult of the unique crusade.
If Mrs. Wakefield dies for the mur
der of her hnsband, in the actual com
mission of whifh she was not accused
of having taken a hand, she will be
the first woman put to death in the
state since 17SG.
Connecticut's leniency toward women
who have been convicted of murder is
explained in part by its efforts to atone
for its unsavory l'ecord in Colonial
days, when six women were burned or
hanged as witches. In 1743 Elizabeth
Shaw, a feeble minded girl, was hang
ed on her father's testimony that she
had killed ber infant child. She was
executed after she had ridden a mile
to the scaffold seated on her coffin and
crying aloud to be saved. But since
Connecticut became a state only one
woman has been legally put to death
within its limits.
Mrs. Wakefield is twenty-four years
old and is one of six children of Mr.
and Mrs. Hiram Webster of Middle
bury, an uncultured, but honest, cou
ple, who for years have eked a bare
living out of a rocky farm.
The daughter received practically no
education, and she was only seven
teen when she was married to Wake
field, a Bristol farm hand. She became
housekeeper for .Tames Plew. a Middle
bury farmer.
Plew and Wakefield soon quarreled
about her. Wakefield was found slain
last June. Plew confessed the deed,
but he and Mrs. Wakefield blamed
each other for plotting the murder so
that they could bo married. Plew.
wlio has a wife and child, and Mrs.
Wakefield, who has two children, have
been sentenced to be hanged on March
4, 1914.
It has been stated in the Connecticut
press that the vote of the board must
be unanimous to commute a sentence,
but the law was changed four years
ago to make a favorable vote of five
members effective.
Mrs. Wakefield's children are with
her parents. The boy, who is six years
old, and the girl, who is four, know
nothing of their parents' fate, and they
flaily say to their grandmother, "Mam
toa will be home today."
The fact that many women have
been convicted of single handed and
premeditated murder in Connecticut In
the last half century, and that all have
escaped the death penalty, and that
Mrs. Wakefield is not even charged
with a part in the actual killing of her
kusband, has Incited a widespread re
volt against the decree of the extreme
penalty in her case.

Can Kentucky Elect a Democratic
Senator?
When the Senatorial race is
discussed we frequently hear it
claimed that if Hon. Owsley
Stanley is nominated in the pri
mary next August he will be de
feated by a Republican in No
vember because the Democatic
"dry" voters will not vote for
him. We also hear it claimed
that if Hon. J. C. W. Beckham
is nominated that he cannot be
elected because the "wet" Dem
ocratic voters will not support
him.
Neither of these statements
are true. Many men who are
making them do n o t believe
them themselves, but are using
this argument to defeat either
one or the other of them for the
nomination. Nobody questions
the loyal Democracy of either of
these distinguished gentlemen.
They are both simon pure Demo
crats and have each done splen
did service for the party. With
Notice
Bargain
the Webb-Kenyon law passed the
United States Senate will have
absolutely nothing to do with the
liquor question, but the great
trust question and others of a
political nature have to be set
tled and no Democrat in Ken
tucky whether "wet" or "dry"
wants a Republican Senator from
Kentucky to misrepresent their
views. They will elect a Sena
tor who will stand shoulder to
shoulder with Ollie James, sup
porting both with voice and vote
President Wilson's Admistration
and no considerable number of
Democrats will go away from the
party nominee, who everhe may
be, on a strictly local question
which has nothing whatever to
do with a United States Senal
We have just had an elect
tron
of a Democratic Senator in the
close State of Maryland, which
has gone Republican much of ten

Lee was elected by the largest
majority the State has ever given,
