and a picture of the president, together
with many wishes for her good fortune.
Sho recited the incidents of her visit
rapturously, and her father was so pleased
by the honor bestowed on his daughter
that he forthwith cabled the circum
stances to his wife in Liverpool, who In
turn communicated it to her circle of lady
friends, all of whom united in sending a
return message expressing their apprecia

had shown the little English girl, and as
suring, her that she would henceforth oc
cupy a laree place in their affections, and
that they would always think of her with
the same love they bore their sovereign.

BARNARD'S NEW COMET.
jnthe leadership of the knights in Augusta.’
When Mr. Meynardie returned so peremp
torily to Augusta from the Richmond con
vention, there was much dissatisfaction
among the Augusta knights, and M. M.
Connor, a leading spirit among the men,
was delegated to go to Richmond and in
quire into the work of Mr. Meynardie, and
ascertain if Augusta had been fairly and
creditably represented at the great gather
ing of the labor men. Mr. Connor hastily
returned to Augusta and summoned the
assembles to convene. The result was
that Meynardie was deposed forthwith
and Connor deputed to act as the leader,
for the present. This is interpreted as
giving color to the rumor that Mr. Mey
nardie had acted very curiously during his
trip, and his sickness of to-dav'is the result
of abuse of himself and his health during
his absence.
Connor is a conservative man and it is !
expected that he takes the gavel in hand i
with the firm intention of bringing the j
labor troubles to a satisfactory close.
Grocers and others who have been furnish
ing necessaries to the Knights on orders
of the organization are alarmed for their
money and have refused to further fur
nish goods unless former debts are liqui
dated. With the rumor told by promi
nent knights to your reporter that f2000
had been received in Augusta by the
’knights to-day, comes news of grand dis
satisfaction among the local assemblies
as to the financial management of those
entrusted with the handling of knights’
money sent to Augusta.
It is further reported that a national
representative of the order is on liis way
to Augusta with two purposes, first, to
again endeavor to efiect a settlement of
the trouble between the knights and the
ni 11s, and secondly, to investigate the
handling of the money here, and endeavor
to settle differences between two factions
which have sprung up among the knights
in Augusta. One faction is represented by
Connor, the new’ master workman, and
the other by Dr. Lally. who is now care
fully nursing the deposed Master Meynar-
■die back to strength and health. With
this state of aifairs it will readily be seen
that ths strike cannot last much longer
and that the lock-out must soon be lifted
and Augusta’s great mills again be put in
■operation.
TROUBLE AMONG RAILROADS.

Augusta, October 19.— n the superior
court to-day was filed a bill of complaint
for the purpose of breaking down the lease
of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
railroad to the Richmond and Dauville
-system. F. H. Miller and C. H. Cohen
filed the bill on behalf of J. H. Lowry and
others. The grounds of complaint are
numerous, and are principally that the
lease was made without the knowledge or
consent of the stockholders. Ex-Senator
Rope Barrow, of the counsel for the Rich
mond and Danville, has secured a post-

Atlanta, Ga., October 19.-—Mayor Hill-
yer’s veto meets with popular endorse
ment. The saleof beer in Atlanta, whether
by the Atlanta brewery company or any
body else, would be a violation of the pro
hibition law, and the public sentiment
favors a rigid enforcement of that law.
Whether a man is anti or prohibition he
believes in tho enforcement of tho law
while it exists. However desirous he may
be to sec the law changed,! think every
fair-minded anli-prohibilionist desires to
see it enforced wlilie it lusts. Mayor Hill-
yer, not only as a staunch prohibitionist,
but as executive officer of a community
which had declared itself in favor of m-o-
hibition, could properly take no oilier
course than to veto a resolution passed by
council clearly repugnant to the expressed
will of the people, and not legally tenable.
This morning the supreme court held in
the Thorn case that the county commis
sioners had no power to delegate to Secre
tary John Tyler Cooper the authority to
issue or transfer licenses, and tliut all such
licenses so transferred were illegal. As
all the licenses but one, that of T. 0. May-
son, have already expired by limitation, it
is not probable that the matter will be re
opened. Mayson, the only man now soil
ing liquor in Atlanta, was a prominent
prohibitionist. His license expires on the
‘26th instant, and it is (said is worth £1000
a day clear money. He is certainly work
ing prohibition for all it is worth. Whether
the decision of the supreme court will
cause him to close up before the expira
tion of his license seems to be a debated
question, but It. is probable that he will
not turn loose as long as lie can possibly
hold to his present bonanza.

Dudley observatory last week. It should

The heavenly visitor is now on the south

that orbit, and will go on day after day
nearing the sun until the middle of Decem

away, according to calculations. The

Speaking of comets in general Professor
Barnard recently said tliut they are among
the most interesting and mysterious of
the celestial bodies. A curious fact is
that the tails of comets always point from
the sun. If the comet is approaching the
sun its tail follows it, and if it is leaving
the sun its tail precedes it. This known
fact has greatly puzzled astronomers, who
have never yet been satisfied witli any
theory that has been advanced as to the
several cities was entered into, and the
board agreed to hear front Mr. Harris on
Macon’s claim, Mr. Hodgson on Athens
and Mr. Innniu on Atlanta. Each of
these gentlemen made a forcible pre
sentation and review of the offer made
by his respective city, and was botpbarded
with questions by the others. Mr. Harris
developed the fact that the bill in the first
instance contemplated the building of the
school at Macon, and it wns intended to
name that city in the bill. When, however,
it was found impracticable to pass the bill
with this rider, it was so drawn as to force
the selection of Macon if its provisions
were adhered to. . The condition that it
should be in the city offering the best rail
road facilities to all points in the state,

Poison Oak.
Last Sunday, while at Mr. T. F. Hud
soil’s, the great buy and ear]) man, who is
i perhaps better known than any farmer in
the state, we noticed that his son, DeWitt,
seemed to he skinning off at the hands.
Mr. H. called the little fellow to him and
showed us how the skin,even on the palms
of his hands, was coming off in flakes and
anew skin appearing underneath. lie
explained that several years ago t he child
was badly poisoned with poison oak, and
every spring he broke out and suffered
greatly, lie had applied every known
remedy to relieve the sufferer, and em
ployed physicians to attend him, but with
, no avail. “In fact.” Mr. Hudson con
tinued, “it seemed like to go in sight of a
poison oak vine would cause the eruption
; to break out afresh. After trying every
thing else, I read in the Banner-Watcn-
; man so much about the S. S. S. blood tried-
j ieine that l determine to try that also, but
; must confess that l had hut little hope in
it. But, as you see, its success has been
wonderful. It has driven every particle
of the poison from my child’s system,and is Fast Term
now putting a newsKin on him. He is '
thoroughly cured, and the S. S. S. did the
good work. I believe that it will drive
out any kind of poison from the blood,
i and its* effect on DeWitt proves it. There
area great many sufferers from~poison oak
in the country, and to such I can know
ingly recommend this great medicine. It
not only effects a certain cure, but seems
to put fresh life into one.”
This is only one of the numerous in-
i dorsements of S. K. S. that has reached us,
I and we publish it as information to those
who arc suffering with poison in their sys-
; tern, it matters not from what source it
comes. This discovery in regard to curing
