HE FINDS A FORTUNE
Atlanta Young Man in New York in
Seal ch cf Millions.
COMES FROM GOVERNOR 1 ELFAIR
I. a Traveling Man Ri siding in West End,
This Ci<y- and Left a Few Days Ago
F-*r New Yoik.
Atlanta, Nov, 4.—Mr. R. T. Small,
a well known young traveling man of
this city, is on the trail of a large forturfb
in New Yoik. Mr. Small lives at 49
Baugh street, West End. He has been
absent in New JYork several days, and
at his home yesterday nothing could be
ascertained as to when he will return.
The story of his new found fortune is
told in The New York Journal as fol
lows:
“R. Telfair Small, of Atlanta, Ga., is
a young man with shrewd brown eyes
and a manner that carries conviction. So
when he says he intends to devote all of
his energies to the work he has set before
him you do not doubt him for an instant,
and the conviction is even stronger when
it is known that he is aftei the possession
of something considerably more than
$25,000,000.
“Mr. Small is the great-great-grand
son of Governor Telfair, of Georgia, and
his connections are the best in that part
of the South. He has placed the case in
the hands of James Lindsay Gordon, of
the district attorney’s office, this city,
and Mr. Gordon expects to have soon all
of the available data of the claim in hand.
“From time to time desultory efforts
have been made by the American
heirs to get the wealth they believe is
their, but without success. The estate
was left by three brothers, who went
from Scotland before the revolution
and settled on tbe island of Mauritius
and made immense fortunes in sugar.
“They were Alexander, David and
Edward Telfair, in the order of their
ages. Alexander and Edward, were
widowers, and each left a son named
after himself in London. It is not ap
parent how parents and children lost
track of each other, bnt it was prob
ably on account of the unsettled con
dition preceding and during the war.
David Telfair died first and left bis
wealth to his brothers, and when
Alexander and David 'passed away
there were no heirs to claim their
great fortune.
“Aiexauer, Jr., who became a doctor,
and Edward, Jr., a lawyer, came to this
country and settled m Georgia. They
declined to take part in the struggle for
independence, and during the revolution
returned to England. After the end of
the struggle they went again to Georgia,
only to find their property confiscated.
Edward, Jr., had a son, also called Ed
ward, who beeame governor of Georgia.
Alexander, Jr., had two sons, one of
whom was named Alexander, and who
was the great grand-uncle of young Mr.
Small. When Governor Telfair died he
had no direct heirs and left his fortune
to two maiden sisters, who devoted it to
charity.
“Mr Small’s grandfather received
word that a box containing valuable pa
pers had been sent him from India. He
never received it, however, and a visit to
England was without result, though he
learned that years before the heirs of the
Telfair estate had been advertised for.
In his investigation he encountered all
sorts of obstacles and finally returned
home.
“A relative of the Telfairs living in
England at present wrote recently
that the estate was worth, exclusive
of interest, 125,000,000, and that there
was a chance to get it. The Ameri
can heirs have raised a fund and pro
pose to make a long and determined
fight to establish their claims and re
cover the lost millions.
“Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. I.—The
Stocktons, of this city, are interested
in the Telfair claim, now pending in
the English courts. They claim the
interest of Julia Telfair, who was

■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 *
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 costivoand 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.

STEAMERS TO GO OVER DIRECT.
Straight to Foreign Porta From Charleston
S. C. Porta
Charleston, S. C., November 3.
Arrangements were today perfected by
the William Johnson & Co., limited,
steamship company, of Liverpool, and
the South Carolina Georgia Railway Co.,
to establish a line of steamers between
Charleston, Liverpool and other foreign
ports. The line is to be known as the
Johnson Blue Cross line, which will be
operated by the Charleston Shipping
Company, incorporated under the laws
of West Virg nia, with a capital stock
of $150,000 and the privilege of increas
ing that amount to $1,000,000 Thecom
pauy will do a general exporting and
importing business, and the first ship of
the line will arrive in Charleston De
cember Ist, and within a few days there
after will be cleared for Liverpool with
cotton and a general cargo
The Charleston Shipping Company
will open offices in this city in a few
days. C. H. Betts, of Liverpool, will be
the- general manager of the new compa
ny, and will henceforth make his home
in Charleston.
The South Carolina and Georgia rail •
road, which is one of the contracting
parties in the enterprise, has formed in
the interest of the steamship company
a close traffic arrangement with the
Georgia Railroad Company, thus secur
ing practically a through route into St.
Louis, Kani-as City and the Mississippi
valley. The South Carolina and Georgia
road has completed a grain elevator
here with a capacity for handling 50,000
bushels of wheat daily, and this will be
operated in the interest of the steamship
company. The purpose of the company
is to clear at least two ships a month
from this port for Liverpool, Manchester
and other foreign cities.
NINE MONTHS IN BED. CURED
24 HOURS.
T, J. Blackmore, of Haller & Blackmore
Pittsburg, Pa., says: “A short time since I
procured a bottle of “Mystic Cure.” It got
me out of the house in twenty-four hours.
I took to my bed with Rheumatism nine
months ago and the “Mystic Cure” is the
only medicine that did any good. I had
five of the best physicians in the city, but
received very little relie, irom them. I
know that Mystic Cure to be what it is rep
resented and take pleasure n racomending
it to ether sufferers.”
Americans Use Green Tea.
In a general way Americans use green
tea more than do their English brothers,
who are devoted to the black variety.
This accounts for the fact that tbe
United States gets most of its tea from
Japan, which produces very little of the
darker qualities. Dr. Edward Bedloe of
Philadelphia, ex-consul to Amoy, China,
predicts that the island of Formosa, un
der the Japanese government, will put
out the best teas in the world and that
the product of this island, which for
merly sent its tea to Amoy and Hong
kong before shipping it on to the west
ern markets, will soon ship directly
from its own ports.
English and American tea buyers say
that it is almost impossible to secure the
best teas, as the Russians watch the
production of the finest qualities and
pay fabulous prices for the kinds they
want. The official classes of Russia are
said to pay as high as sls a pound for a
kind of tea which they particularly pre
fer—an almost white quality, which has
a peculiar, oillike flavor which is not
at all relished by foreigners. •
▲ Modern Jonah.
The London Quiver appears to take
the position that “there is no argument
valid upon a pr smise of inherent impos
sibility. ” In a driving argument along
that line The Quiver man deduces facts
and figures from the different authori
ties to prove that it is altogether prob
able that the story cf Jonah and the
whale is not a myth, as is now popu
larly supposed. That such a piscine feat
as that attributed to Jonah’s whale is at
least possible is proved by an incident
which occurred in the Mediterranean a
few years ago. A British war vessel
was sailing quietly along one day, when
a sudden lurch threw a seaman over
board. A huge shark instantly arose,
and those on board were horrified to see
their companion disappear down its
throat. In a moment, before the fero
cious “water tiger” could right itself
and dive, the captain seized a gun and
fired. The shot struck the creature
square in tieback and was such a shock
or surprise that the shark cast the man
ont, and he was rescued alive by his
comrades.
Arguing from the above incident,
The Quiver thinks it highly probable
that the Jonah story is true in every
particular.

THE ROME TRIBUNE, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 5, 1896.
THE SPECTATOR.
The utter absence of a sense of hu
mor from the average feminine com
position is never more clearly visible
than in a busy thoroughfare on a wet
and windy day. A woman may be a
philosopher, she may have original
ideas and brilliant theories on the
fundamental questions of morality
and ethics, but she rarely rises supe
rior to a muddy shoe or a bedraggled
petticoat The woman is an excep
tion, indeed, who managestopreserve
a smiling face in the teeth of east wind
which plays shuttlecock with her um
brella, and dreary slush which bespat
ters her clothes. Young or old, fair or
plain—scarcely one of them who does
not frown ominously as she hurries
along, forgetful of other people’s feel
ings and umbrellas and toes, bustling
and jostling, with never a glance for
the absurdity of the situation. For
there is 'something unmitigatingly ri
diculous about pedestrians on a really
bad day; nobody wants to walk on
the outside of the pavement; every
body wants to pass everybody else,
regardless of the limited space afforded
by the conglomeration of umbrellas;
everybody pushes and elbows and
shoulders, and when an umbrella ap
pears in sight all considerations of
gallantry or politeness, or sex or age,
are forgotten—it becomes an object
lesson in “the survival of the fittest.”
and a free fight, or something near it.
ensues, in which the fair sex undoubt
edly manage to bear their part with
more than a tolerable grace. These
rainy days are the occasions when a
woman can never smile and who
blames them?
In looking over an old newspaper a
few days ago we found the following
quaint and simple lines, and we are
sure our many readers will thank us
for republishimr them. They were
written, we believe, by David Barker,
a Philadelphia merchant of the olden
time, and were, it is said, a great fa
vorite with Ben Butler, who, with all
his failings, generally knew a good
thing when he saw it. We all know
that in this “great big world” the
tendency of men, and women, too, is
to “shout for the dog on top.” The
little poem we print is a touching
plea for “the under dog in the fight,”
and when we reflect how often it hap
pens that the good and true and brave
ro down in life’s great battle, we can
more fully appreciate the tender feel
ings which prompted the few lines be
low, so little known and yet so full of
merit:
I know that the world—that the great big
world—
From the peasant up to the king.
Has a different ta!e from the tale 1 tell
And a different song to sing.
But for me. I care not* single fig
If they say I am wrong or I’m right;
I shall always go for the weaker dog.
The under dog in the fight.
I know that the world—that the great big
world—
Will never a moment stop
To see which dog may be in fault,
But will shout for the dog on top.
But for me. I never shall pause to ask
Which dog may be in the right.
For my heart will beat, while it beats at all,
For the under dog in the fight,
Perchance what I’ve said were better not said,
Or ’twere better I Baid it incog,
But with heart and with glass filled chock to
the brim,
Here is luck to the bottom dog.
The egg played a conspiclous part
in the recent campaign. It has been
dubbed the Limburger egg, the con
valescent egg, the unreconstructed
egg and the seceeding egg. Now if
this variety could be preserved until
Easter it would make a fine collection
for the good Sunday school boy.

Time proves the worth of every
thing. It is the test of honesty. It
wears off tbe exterior and exposes the
solidity or the worthlessness beneath.
There is nothing more susceptible
to time than a piano. The Kranich &
Bach is a piano which has stood the
test of time, which has stood well in
tone, which keeps its perfect action
and elastic touch is as good as any
we can offer you. Beware of judging
hastily. Most pianos sound alike
