Tenn.. Oct. 9.—Sub-

*z‘ . of defraying the expenses of
j- f- shi p p and hl * deputle *'
h, are charged with contempt of the
court of the United States, on
of the lynching of Ed Johnson.
‘ / whose eases have been set for
f.rlng October 15. Petitions are
circulated which state that Sher-
.w Shipp and his deputies had noth-
* to do with the lynching. Thesa pe-
were first signed by George W.
Davenport, a leading wholesale dry
PG, merchant; A. N. Sloan, a leading
Luranre agent; J. A. Caldwell, a lead-
r" ver and commander of N. B.
p' gt camp. United Confederate Vet-
J B. .Vlrklln. a leading drug-
I I o Martin, a leading wholesale
I! 1, dealer, and others.
Wetter has been received hero Which
that it will not be necessary for
Lh.rtrr Shipp and Ills deputies nor any
u the members of the alleged Ed John-
K- mob to appear In person before
he 'court of last resort, but that only
Of attorneys In the case will be pres
et and represent theft side of the con-,
tentlon. It Is probable; however, that
later on It may be necessary for all
the defendants to appear In person
or give their evidence here by
depositions, which, .In this case, the
depositions would be'taken by a-Unlted
States commissioner sent here for that
purpose.
Judge Harmon, of Cincinnati, who
represents the sheriff, has almost com-
Dieted drawing up the answer of Sher-
III Shipp, which will be filed with the
court of last resort on the day of the
lenlng. i
Besides Judge Harmon, the following
attorneys of this city, representing
either the sheriff or the alleged mem
bers of the mob, will appear In person
before the United States supreme
court: llobert Pritchard, Williams &
Daniels, Spears & Lynch, Judge Lewis
Shepherd, who represented Ed John
son In his first trial; Martin Fleming,
T. W. Stanfield and John A. Hood.
The news that the defendants will
not be required to appear in person
before the court of last resort gave
them great relief, for many of them
would have been placed In strained
financial circumstances If they had
been compelled to go to Washington In
person.
The petition that Is being circulated
Is being readily subscribed to.

Luther Burbank
(Originator of new forma of plant life)
Says
“Too much starch in our diet is a cause of no end
of trouble.”
“I believe that ill-balanced foods resulting in im
proper nourishment, are at the bottom of the causes
leading up to tuberculosis.”
We eat quantities of white bread, (starch) pota-
to »‘s, (starch) pastry, (starch) wheat & oats, (starch)
and wonder why we run down and have bowel
troubles.
It’s plain enough on thinking.
I'Vom too much starchy food the lower digestive
machinery wearies and fails to digest it. (Starch indi
gestion). Then the partly digested starch lying in
tbu moist warm plao6 in the bowels, naturally decays,
Stasis arise and irritation of the bowels results, show-
1M K 'll poor nourishment and various ails. “What
•an you do?” Eat Grape-Nuts and Cream instead of
bi'iad, potatoes, pastry, wheat, oats, &c., &c., because
in Grape-Nuts food the starchy parts of wheat and
barley have, in the process of manufacture, been
transformed into a form of sugar perfectly digestable.
Starchy food is demanded by Nature to supply
energy and warmth to the body,, but it should be so
prepared that the human system can make use of it
" tthout overtaxing the digestive machinery.

League and Democrat* for the govern

night in Manhattan, the candidate bad
much to aay. regarding the attack*
made upon him by the paper* of Mil*

In thl* connection he *atd .he felt

If, when Invited, he had been willing to

He branded aa falae the published
statement that he Would *pend a mil
lion dollar* In the campaign, and as
serted he would spend no more than
he did In the campaign of Grover
Cleveland and W. J. Bryan when he
wa» merely Interested a* a Democrat.
"Various New York paper*,” *nld he,
have stated that I have made a com
pact with the boeae* In order to secure
my nomination on.the Democratic tlck-
I had no understanding wtlh any
bosses before the convention or at the
convention or after the convention,
had at the convention 31$ votes from
up the state and outside of the city
In which I lived, ami the vote In this
city was given to me, or rather part of
It was given to me, because the Demo

deduced for me, and the bosses did
not dare defy that declaration. 1 have
made no private promise to any Indi

statement that 1 have or Intimation

As to the charge that he had
ployed Chinese labor on hls California
ranch. Mr. Hearst said:
"I have never employed Chinese la
bor In all my life, and I do not own one
foot of ground In Palermo, Cal., either
directly or Indirectly, nor Is Chinese
labor employed on my property that I
own or partially own In California or
In any other state of the Union.’

General Williams has received notice
from Alcorn county that an Injunction
suit has been filed against the sheriff
of that county seeking to restrain him
from collecting the special privilege

A circus that Is "too hlg to give a street
pnrnde" Is n novelty even In these days
of colossal enterprises and mammoth
amusement Institutions. Rut that Is the
announcement of the Hnrnuiu & Ralley rlr-
cua. which ezhlhlta tu Atlanta Friday ami
knturdny, October 19 and 39.
In apeaktng of the reasona for this
striking Innovation, a repreaentstlvo of the
hlg show said reeently:
'The Bsrpnm * Bailey circus has lie-
come so Isrgn that a parade Is no longer
possible or oven desirable. If we could
lie absolutely sure of getting Into town, by
daybreak, the parade would still lie feasl
tde, tint with onr fire .long trains of ears,
this la too much to expect of the roll-
rond companies. In many Instance* It lz 8
o'clock before the last section ar
rives, and 10 o'clock before It Is unloaded
and the paraphernalia transferred to the
•how grounds. Thl* leave* Just suffi
cient time to erect the big tents nnd pre
pare for tho afternoon performance,
take several hundred men away from the
show grounds at tba most critical time In
the morning. In order to give a parade,
would mean delay lit opening, and conse
quent discomfort to the pulilie. To com
pel thousands of people to stand out la
front of the entrance In the hot sun or
rain, because the giving ef the parade has
delayed the opening for an hour or more,
Is positively ernel; lint there Is frequently
no help for It when parades are given.
By eliminating the parade, the public li
also saved a long and often nncnmfortn
alt na the streets pending Ilia nl
ways more or less delsyed procession,
which at best bat nothing new to offer,
to say nothing of the liiterfarence with
public traffic and the linslness of tho city
merchants. Many ' municipal governments
hnve recognised the Inter facts by either
refusing Id give licenses for parades,
by making the tax so high a* to tie pro-
hlbltlve. Street parades were all right
when clrentes were small, and were nec
essary from on advertising atnmqinlnt.
The Barnum A Bailey allow Is too woll
known to need advertising of this ehomc*
ter, and Instead of wasting time nnd cncr-
gv on a conventional street display, every
effort' Is concentrated upon thg perform-
"The ejiieriiuenl of rutting out the porndu
waa tried In this country for the first
time Inst seasou. and the cirrus mnn was
naked what effect the Innovation had n|ion
the business of the big show.
■if anything. It helped the patronage.”
was the reply. "The necessity for cllmlnat-
Ing the parade because of tho magnitude
of the allow was generally recognized, anil
the politic waa anxious to so* * ahnw that
waa actuallv too lit* to give a procession.
Before the advent id the show Is some of
the western elites Ihers were some unfa
vorable comments regarding the *no pa

that waa that the elimination of the parade
was a success from every atand|»lut.
MAY UCTEND RAILROAD
INTO BRUN8WICK 800N.
fipeeinl to The Georgian.
Brunswick, On., Oct. 9.—A commit
tee was appointed by the city council
at its last meeting Ip take In chart*
the matter of securing the Darien and
Western railroad. Mayor Hopkins stat-
tbat he had been In correspondence
with official* of the Georgia Uoaat and
Piedmont railroad., formerly the Darien
and Western, and had received a letter
from Manager Emerson. In whloh he
stated he waa ready to meet with the
Brunswick people for the purpose of
seeing what could be done to secure
the extension of the road Into Bruns
wick.
“The 8u!tan of Sulu."
George Ade’e first muslcak success
came to the Grand again Monday
night for an engagement of three per
formances. But It waa not like the old
"Sultan.” Tho Jokes fell very flat from
the lips of the comedians and the
songs seemed to lack their old swing.
Perhaps It was because 'The Sultan” Is
getting In hls dotage, or perhaps it Is
because the company could not get tho
humor out of their parte—or rather
Into them.
But even with all that, the audience
warmed under the (pfluence of the
muelc and the riot of color and ap
plauded almost every song In the sec
ond act. The company improved under
its encouragement and things went
much better than In the first act.
The weakness la In the comedy. Al
bert Sykes falls to Instill fun Into Kl-
Ram and Mr. McCarthy falls as Hadji.
But ths music Is fairly well handled
and several number* were given fre
quent recalls.
, Mian Broske waa a surprise. In re
sponse to a recall In the second act
she sang "Annie Laurie'.' In a manner
that atllled the audience almost abso
lutely until the last note died away.
She was forced to sing the refrain of
the old song again and again. Nothing
but the noisy movements of the Irre
pressible ushers In the rear of the house
broke the spell.
There are girls In plenty and they
are pretty. Stella Martlne Is full of
life and -sings and dances as though
stjs enjoyed It. The scenery Is splendid
and the chorus numbers delightfully
sung.
The engagement Is for Tuesday af
ternoon ^nd night. a. D. G.

Brothers variety of extravaganzas with
plenty of fun and music and a fair
