MISSION OF BANCROFT
Minister Terrell Makes an Of
ficial Statement.
REFUTES SENSATIONAL STORIES
May* tho Report That the Baby of the
Uaited States Navy Will Force the Dar
danelles Is Teo Ridiculous For Notice.
Relation* Between Turkey and Thi* Gor
erutueut Are Cordial.
Constantinople, Oct. 28.—“ The re
port that the Bancroft will, under in
structions, force the Dardanelles is too
ridiculous for serious notice,” said
United States Minister Terrell.
He spoke with emphasis in giving to
the Associated Press the first explicit,
authorized statement from an official
source regarding the mission of the
United States steamer Bancroft in the
Levant, directly refuting the wild, un
founded statements circulated in the
United States and telegraphed here that
the Bancroft was instructed to proceed
through the Dardanelles and to Con
stantinople in spite of whatever protest
might be offered by thj Turkish author
ities.
“The fact of the matter Is,” con
tinued Mr. Terrell, “that I have not ap
plied for the entry of a dispatch boat to
Constantinople since February. So the |
statement that I have abandoned or
withdrawn an application is entirely
without foundation. I have not even
mentioned the subject of a dispatchboat
to the porte since February.
“The relations between Turkey and
the United States are cordial. No
American has been sacrificed during the
massacres, and it is improbable that the
United States will depart from its tra
ditional policy by meddling in the do
mestic affairs of Turkey.”
There is reason to believe that the fa
mous Bancroft canard, dated Washing
ton, was really sent from Philippolis
and given to Washington date to make
it sensational.
The serious question of the payment
of the employes in the Turkish service
has been satisfactorily solved by an ar
rangement for the centralization of all
the paying departments—justice, for
eign affairs, agriculture, public works,
posts, telegraphs and archives. The
surplus receipts of the vilayets will also
be used.

president of the chamber of commerce, !
expresses a wish to leave here, so fright- I
ened is he at the blackmailing threats ,
of his fellow countrymen.
BUSHIN GOES UP FOR LIFE.
Captain Lilly** Slayer Will Spend the Re
mainder of Hi* Day* In the Pen.
Thomasville, Ga., Oct. 23. The !
jury in the case of John T. Bushin re
turned a verdict of guilty, witharecom
mendation to mercy, and he was sen
tenced to the penitentiary for life.
Last August Rushiu shot Captain
Lilly to death and then cut his victim’s
throat from ear to ear, while Lilly was
conducting a Sundayschool in the church
at Metcalfe. Captain Lilly was super
intendent of the school and was one of
the most prominent citizens of the
county.
Bushin, who was at that time a pros
perous and well-to-do merchant, rushed
into the church and began shooting at
Captain Lilly. He fired two shots in\
quick succession and as Captain Lilly
ran, Rushin followed, leaping over the
benches, and fired a third bullet. Lilly
was just in the act of leaving the church
when he tumbled headlong down the
front steps. •
With one bound Rushin leaped upon
the body, and drawing his pocketknife,
deliberately cut the throat of the dead I
man from ear to ear, keeping the crowd
back with his pistol. The congregation
was thrown into the wildest confusion
and a panic followed the deed. Women
crawled under benches and men leaped
from open windows.
As soon as Rushin had mutilated his
victim, he fled from the church to his
home and drank a large quantity of
laudanum. The amount of poison taken
was too large and Bushin quickly vom
ited a portion, but retained enough to
cause him to become unconscious.
While he was in this comatose condition
he was arrested and brought to Thom
asville and placed in jail for safe keep
ing.

The Cheapest, Purest and Best Family
Medicine In the World i
For DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION. Jaun
dice, Biliousattacks, SICK HEADACHE, Colic,
Depression of Spirits, SOUR STOMACH,
Heartburn, etc. This unrivalled remedy is
warranted not to contain a single particle of
Mercury, or any mineral substance, but is
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 off the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are A
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain 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:
Gen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. W. R. R. Co.; Rev.
J. R. Felder, Perry, Ga.; Col. E. K. Sparks, Al
bany, Ga.; C. Masterson, Esq.. Sheriff Bibb Co.,
Ga.; H on. Alexander H fc Stephens.
•‘We have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
Throbbing Headache it is the best medicine the
world ever saw. We tried forty other remedies
before Simmons Liver Regulator, but none gave
■us more than temporary relief; out the Regu
lator not only relieved, but cured us.”—Ed.

"Spring Medicines." “Blood-purifier.” and
"Tonic.” nn Old-Fashioned Ide*.
Pure blood, strong nerves and mus
cles, firmly healthy flesh can only
come from wholesome food well digest
ed, “Blood purifiers” and “nerve
tonics” do not reach the cause of the
mischief. The stomach is the point to
be looked after. The safest and surest
way to cure any form of indigestion
is to take after each meal some harm
less preparation which will of itself
digest food, There is an excellent
preparation of this kind composed of
vegetable essences, pure pepsin, Gold
en Seal and fruit salts, sold by drug
gists under name of Stuart’s Dyspep
sia Tablets and these tablets taken
after meals assist digestion wonder
fully because they will digest the food
promptly before it has time to ferm
ent and sour and the weak stomach
relieved and assisted in this way soon
becomes strong and vigorous again.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are
superior to any secret patent medi
cines, because you know what you are
taking into your stomach. They are
sold by druggists everwhere at 50
cents fer package.

OUR CARPET COLUMN!
Why is it that we can sell Carpets and
Smyrna Rugs at 50c. on the Dollar?
Eight years ago the McKinley tariff on Carpets and Rugs gave a great stimulus
to these industries in the United States. Scores of new mills were erected, thousands
of new looms put in to manufacture Carpets and Rugs. The strong competition among
these mills; their increased facilities; their improvements in machinery and manufac
turing; then the Wilson bill, giving us free wool, have all combined to bring the price
down to a little more than half the price of a few years ago. Few people realize how
cheaply they can buy a floor covering—we want every one to know it.
