ARE COMING SOUTH
A Number of Settlers Seeking Homes
In Georgia.
EX-GOVERNOR WORTHEYS WORK
Probable That a Colony of Engllah Farmers
From Lincolnshire May Be Located
In This State.
The Northwest is inarching through
Georgia. Governor Northen s great
■work is beginning to tell.
Among the parties who came yes
terday to Atlanta with Mr. G. B.
Townsend, Townsend & Howser, were
Mr. O. H. Rasmussen, a Dane, who
has only been over from Denmark
about two months, having arrived in
Chicago about two months ago, and
Mr. M. H. Rylatt of London, England.
They, together with Mr. Townsend,
will visit Griffin today and some
places of interest around Atlanta. It
is the purpose of Mr. Rasmussen to
purchase a farm somewhere near
Atlanta, and raise stock, He will de
cide probably after the visit he will
make today where he will locate.
The English Farmers.
Mr. Rylatt is prospecting with a
view to purchasing a farm for the
purpose of trucking. He also intends,
after thoroughly investigating, mak
ing an exhaustive report of this state,
its development and possibilities, to
the farmers of Lincolnshire, England.
There, he says, are the most scientific
farmers of the world; every inch of
ground being utilized and brought to
a high state of cultivation. But, he
says, they are oppressed by high rents,
high taxes and low prices, and it is by
the hardest struggles that they exist.
He thinks that should a condensed
and exhaustive report be made of
this section, about which they know
absolutely nothing, a great many
would be induced to move here. All
of the farmers in England are tenant
farmers, those owning their farms
constituting a very small per cent of
the farmers. Wheat, he says, is their
staple crop, and the prices has been so
low that they can scarcely make a
living.
Mr. Rylatt and Mr. Townsend are
considering the question of the ad vis ■
ability of making a tour of Lincoln
shire, and holding meetings of the
farmers for the purpose of organizing
a plan of immigration to this section.
Townsend & Howserare Northwest
ern representatives of the Georgia
Immigrant and Investment bureau,
and Mr. Townsend says the organiza
tion is doing a great work toward in
ducing immigration from the North
west to this section. He says that ex-
Governor Northen was in their Chic
ago office and expressed himself as be
ing surprised at the class of immigra
tion that was coming South.
Mr. Townsend says that his firm
only took hold of this week thirty
days ago, but in that time they have
succeeded in booking seventy people,
representing about 100 families who
expect to come to this section during
this month and next. Another party
consisting of thirty people will leave
Chicago on the 29th of this month,
and will come through Atlanta. An
other will leave there during the first
week in October.
The people of the Northwest, he
says, are becoming disgusted with
that section. The seasons for crops
are too short, and the winter climate
too severe. He says he has seen crops i
growing beautifully, and in less than
a week he has seen them totally de
stroyed and nothing left but desola
tion and ruin.
He Reports Back.
Mr. Townsend says he will remain
here about a week. In that time his
visit will enabld him to make an in
telligent report to the people of his
section, who contemplate coming to
this section, of the advantages that
■Georgia's soil and climate present.
He says that his firm have adver
tised only in a limited way, but he
says they have had various applica
tions from splendid families seeking
information in regard to Georgia with
a view to setting there. He says with
the present work the bureau is doing
it is only a matter of a few years when
this section will be settled by a
splendid set of Northwestern farmers.

Here is a sad warning to Rome girls

fortunate, and for those who are growing
up with legs with a divers inclination,
The Tribune prints this story. It will
serve to protect the girls by putting
them on guard against the danger they
run while sitting in the lap of bow leg
ged men:
There is a case c lining up before a
Chicago court that will be of great inter
est to people who have long desired a
decison on some of the points that will
be developed. It seems that a young
man, a member of one of the Chicago
clubs, a gentleman of wealth and refine
ment, is to be sued by the father of a
young man for $50,000 damages for in
juries to his dauughter received while in
his society. The young people had been
keeping company for some years, and
the carriage of the young man was often
seen in front of the Michigan avenue resi
dence of the lady. Last December
he cease 1 visiting her, and since that
time she has been an invalid and has been
treated for a spinal difficulty, and the
father will go into the courts, it is
said against his daughter’s wish, to
have the matter of responsibility set
tled. It seems that the young man is
bow-legged, so much so that it has
always been considered dangerous for
any one to sit in his lap, for fear they
would fall through on the floor and
break some bones. If is said that the
young man knows his failing, and that
he usually holds any person who may
be in his lap with his arms, so that
there is no danger of falling through,
but that in this ease he forgot the dan
ger and let the girl slip. The father claims
that the young man knows how fear
fully and wonderfully he is made, and
in his complaint he will swear that
on several occasions he has warned
I the young man that he should place a
board across his lap, or some day his
' parenthesis legs would let somebody
i through. In his answer to the com
| plaint the young man will say that
I his legs are just as nature made them,
and that anybody who sits in his lap
takes her chances. He adds that if
the girl had used all the precautions
that one in so dangerous a position
should use, and thrown her arms
around his neck, as others have done
there need have been no danger; and
while he sympathizes deeply with her
and her family, owing to the alleged
injury, he cannot consider himself
responsible. Os course there are two
sides to every question, and both sides
will have sympathizers.

| Gentlemen—While in San Antonio,

i ment of P. P. P. (Prickley Ash, Poke

try a bottle; finding such great relief
from it on my return home, I had my

me a supply. After taking, I think, ten
bottles, I have not had a pain or ache

twenty- five (25) years, and could not get
the least benefit until I tried P. P. P.,
and therefore take pleasure in recom

THE HAWKINS PKOJESS.
Proved to be h Great Success—A New Era
of Steel.
Birmingham, Sept. 18.—Final tests in
steel making from Alabama low silicon
pig iron were made by the Hawkins
process at the Jefferson Steel company’s
plant here today, and were pronounced
highly satisfactory by the dozen or more
expert metallurgists present from Chi
cago, Cleveland, Pittsburg and other
places. These experts have made a pub
lie statement that the discovery that low
silicon pig iron can be produced here at
$5 50 per ton, as is now being done, ren
ders steel making in Alabama several
dollars a ton cheaper than elsewhere in
the United States. This iron has been
in use for steel making at Ohio and
Pennsylvania furnaces for some time. As
the result of today’s tests the nresent ex
perimental steel plant here will be en
larged to produce 500 tons daily and
will be put in continueus operation. It
is expected that other plants will also be
built soon.

THE ROME TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 18S6.
ELECTION TACLY SHEETB.
Secretary of State Candler Explains Elec
tion ruvisions Further.
A letter has been written by Hon.
Allen D. Candler, secretary of state,
to the ordinary of a Middle Georgia
county, on the Bth of this month. In
regard to tally sheets he used these
words:J
‘.‘As a matter of precaution, while
there is no express provision of law
nor any ruling of the attorney general
regulating it, I would suggest that
four lists of voters be kept.”
Since this was written Colonel Can
dler has received so many letters of
inquiry on this subject that he has
submitted the matter to the attorney
general and obtained his opinion
which is embodied substantially in a
circular letter which the secretary of
state mailed to all ordinaries in Geor
gia on the 15th instant. This is in
tended as final instructions to election
managers.
It will be seen that the old law on
the subject has not been changed and
only three lists of voters need be kept.
While separate returns and separate
tally sheets are required for members
of the legislature and county officers,
one list of voters will do for both.
The letter is given in full below:
Dear Sir —Many inquiries have been
received at this office as to whether it
is necessary to keep three or four lists
of voters and tally sheets at the elec
tion on the 7th of October, and in or
der that managers at the precincts
may be fully advised and all doubt be
dispelled, this circular is sent out to
ordinaries, The old law on the sub
ject has not been changed, and only
three lists of the names of voters need
be kept.
While the returns of the election of
senators and representatives are made
on one sheet and those of country
officers on another, both may be en
closed together with one list of voters,
in the same envelope and mailed to this
office. Attached to the returns for sena
tors and representatives there must be a
tally sheet in the usual form showing
the vote received by each candidate.
Attached to the returns for county
officers must also be a tally sheet show
ing the vote received by each candidate
for each office.
Thus while separate returns and sep
arate tally sheets for two classes of
officers (legislative and county officers)
are sent up, one listof voters will answer
for both. But it will be best for both
these returns together with the list of
voters to be sent up to this office in the
same envelope addressed to the secretary
of state.
The returns for governor and state
house officers must be made precisely
as heretofore and addressed to the
president of the senate and speaker of
the house of representatives, care of
the secretary of state. There has been
no change whatever in the law gov
erning the erection of three officers.
While three envelopes' were sent
you, one for the state officers, one for
the county officers and one for sena
tors and representatives, you may de
stroy one and send up the returns for
senators and representatives and those
for county officers in the same en
velope, being careful to enclose with
them one list of voters.
Very truly yours,
Allen D. Candler,
Secretary of State.
FOUND DEAD.
■ Ernest Tanthanhalin’g Body Discovered
Near Gidsden.
Gadsdbn, Ala., Sept. 18.—Ernest
Tauthanhalin, a German, who worked
at the furniture factory, was found
' dead in an old shack near the out.
skirts of the city today near noon-
Two gentlemen driving into the city
discovered the body and immediately
reported their find to the authorities
At first there were wild rumors of a
foul murder, and some even went so
far as to cast a suspicion upon some
of the dead man’s associates. The
coroner’s inquest developed the fact,
however, that there were no marks of
violence upon the body, and the ver
dict declared that the deceased came
to his death from apoplexy. Tauthan
halin had been on a spree for several
days, and it is thought that he war
dered out of town while in a fit of de
lirium. His hands and arms had bei n
lacerated terribly by his own teeth,
while he was doubtless in horrib’e
agony. His home was in Cincinnati.
He was about 40 years of age.

PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
It will cure all Diseases caused by Derange
ment of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; rain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu
matism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache:
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation of
having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance of the Skin and Eyes, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the Liver
is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed persons attest
to the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:

before Simmons Liver Regulator, but none gave
us more than temporary relief; but the Regu
