(Special.) —Thomas Beard says he paid what he thought was his fine as a sentence fop a crime with which he was charged and now finds that the clerk of the superior court, D. W. Simmons, took ’ tha money thinking he had been fined and divided it —the sum was two hundred dollars—between himself (the cler) and the then sheriff, W. G. Dune hoo, and the then solicitor general, i W. H. Ennis, and, come to find out, Beard had never been sentenced nor fined iiQr his bond forfeited nor had he been relieved of prosecution for the alleged crime. He was just out j two hundred dollars and he is now in the county jail awaiting trial or sentence or acquittal or something or other that will either make him go free or pay a penalty for the crime if he committed, it. 4 This all happened, so far as the pay ment of the money was concerned, [, Mr. Beard alleges in his petition, on ’ January 27, 1914. He declares that 4 he want-s his money back and interest 5i on it. since that date because Mr. Sim- A mons had no legal right to take the money nor to disburse it nor to divide it between himself and the then sheriff and the then solicitor general. Beard says he was indicted for burg \ lary at the July term, 1913, and gave bond in the sum of two hundred dol u lars for his appearance at the next I- term of court. When he paid Mr. b Simmions two hundred dollars on January 27, 1914, the latter entered it in his cash book. Judge Moses Wright has ordered the three ex-officials to appear before 4 him at ten o’clock on January 26th, ■ to show cause why the money should not be refunded to Mr. Beard. t “Very Good Eddie.” “Very Good Eddie’’, which ran for over a year at the Princess Theatre, New York, and which left the metropo lis with the reputation of being the smartest success of the past theatrical twelve month, will be the attraction at the Opera House Monday, January i 28 th - It is said that the theatre-goers of, Americus will be delighted by the ■ charm of the young ladles of “Very Good Eddie" and that certainly means that the girls of the company possess more than ordinary beauty.

The piece has been staged l by J. C. Huffman, with dances super i vised by Jack Mason.

I ■- ! KEPT HER AWAKE The Terrible Pane h Back Sides. Cardei Gave Relief. I Marksville, La.—Mrs. Alice Johnsen, of this place, writes: “For one year I suffered with an awful misery in my back ( and sides. My left side was hurting me all the time. The misery was something . awftil. , 1 could not do anything, not even sleep i at night. It kept me awake most of the I night... I took different medicines, but' nothing did me any good or relieved me ’ until I took Cardui... 1 was not able to do any of my work tor one year and I got worse all the time, was confined to my bed off and on. I got so bad with my back that when I stooped down I was not able to straighten up again ... 1 decided 1 would try Cardui r ... By time I had taken the entire bottle ■ i I was feeling pretty good and could ■ straighten up and my pains were nearly . all gone. t I shall always praise Cardui. I con- ■ tinued taking it until I was strong and well.” If you suffer from pains due to female complaints, Cardui may be just , what you need. Thousands of women who once suffered in this way now praise ’ Cardui for their present grad health. Give it a trial.

Every traveling man enrolled in the movement for War Savings Stamps will carry a stamp book in his pocket, showing that he practices what he preaches by investing his surplus I quarters in the little stamps which are the same, in their modest way, as liberty Bonds. couDif maYlead TO CONSUMPTION Stop It At Once by Takfur Cheney’s Expeetorant You may be in bed from coughing and can hardly sleep and even have old time consumption, have hemor rhages, and be thin and underweight, you may have very weak lungs and breathing may be painful and coughing incessant.
