MHWRURT aonth*rn Circuit Bas Been Seriously Disarranged. MANY COMPANIES CANCELLING DATES The Yellow Fever Epidemic and Kixld Quarantines Stop Many Theatrical Companies From Coming South. The yellow fever has rung down the drop curtain on theatrical troupes and the southern circuit has been seriously interrupted, says the Con stitution. Unless other contracts are arranged Allan tq will miss the best attractions on the road this year. Should the yellow fever scare not abate their will be a dearth of good productions here. Already the (companies are cance ling their dates and there is no saying Where it will end. Atlanta is directly connected with New Orleans in a theatrical way, and the two towns are closely joined in the character of attractions. Klaw& Erlanger, which house controls many of the contracts, operates two theaters in New Orleans, one in Memphis, one in Mobile and one Nashville The Lyceum manage ment makes New Orleans beadquar ters and most of the companies radiate from that point. The situation at present. Texas is cut off entirely and not only is there a state quarantine, but small towns have quar antined against each other, making it impossible to get between Qallas. Gal veston, Houston, or any * other points in that state. This is another feature of the situation which gives a gloomy out look to the theater men. Up to the present time Atlanta has caught no big attractions, but Man ager DeGive, of the Grand, and Man ager Sharp, of the Lyceum, have both a long list for the months of OctobA and November, and some of the com panies are among the_most notable on the road. ' ’’Thus far only two have canceled dates,” said Mr. L. DeGive yesterday afternoon. ‘ The ‘Black Sheep’ is one of these. We will have many attrac tions during the next few weeks, but under tbe present circumstances Ido not know what will 'come. We may be able to arrange matters should the quarantine in Alabama remain as it is now, it looks now, however, that the circuit is badly disarranged. g/JL'he “Bicyclist’s Beet .Friend” is a familiar name for DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, always ready for emer gencies.

The modern business man needs above all other qualifications—good health. Without good health, he may be naturally shrewd, bright and capable, but he will eventually fail. It takes a keen brain and steady nerves to be successful. Impure blood will befog the brightest brain and shake the steadiest nerves. The greatest known blood-maker and purifier is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis covery. It corrects all disorders of the di gestion, tones the liver, makes the appetite keen and assimilation perfect.

He said I was bilious, but I kept getting worse. 1 took a cough so that I could only sleep when propped up in bed. My lungs hurt me and I got so poor that I was just skin and bone. 1 thought I was going to die.

In the above appointments Mrs. Myrick has chosen two of the most representa tive women in the Georgia Press Club and their presence will be a distinguish*. ed addition to the body of prominent women to assemble in Rome next month. This meeting of the state federation will be one notable in many respects. It marks the first year’s success of one of the strongest woman’s organization in in the south and one that has already made its power felt in Georgia. As the development of all educational interests in the state has been made the principle of the federation movement, that subject will be ably discussed by brilliant and representative women. The interest of the press women throughout the state is urged, since it is in their power not alone to aid in the development of the federa tion work, but to broaden its scope in every way by accurate publication of its various meetings and the leading features making them of interest.

Smolensk! had placed a battery of mountain guns on a plateau overlooking the village a? Velestino, and along the base of this plateau was a battalion of Evzones, sheltered by the position of the ground and by intrenchments. The battery on the plateau played on the Turkish advance with great effect, and the order was given by the Turkish commander to charge it. The Turkish infantry swung clear, and the cavalry, led by a young officer, came on in col umn, first at the trot and then at a swinging gallop. It seemed a mad un dertaking far cavalry to charge a bat tery of well served artillery planted on the crest of a long, steep slope. The bravij horsemen were met with salvos of shells which plowed through their ranks. Then suddenly uprose the. Evzones from their partially hidden cover and poured upon them volley after volley. No troops could withstand such fire, and, completely broken, the Turk ish horsemen turned and sought shelter in the woods in the neighborhood of Bisomylos. “With the Greeks In Thessaly,” by’W. Kinnaird Rose. Fads la Medicine. There’ard fads in medicine as in every thing else and a “new thing” frequently sells for a short time simply because it is new. But in medicine, as in nothing else, the people demand and will be satisfied only with positive, absolute merit. The fact that Hood’s Sarsaparilla has stood its griund against all competition, and its sales have never wavered but have re mained steadily at the top, demonstrates, beyond any doubt, the intrinsic virtues of this medicine. The new things have come and gone but Hood’s Sarsaparilla rests upon the solid foundation of abso lute merit and its power to cure, and its sales continue to be the largest in the W ;rld. A Patent Office Incident. The patent office official bowed po litely from his place at his desk as the visitor in clothes of cleric cut and a smooth face greeted him with a subdued “Good morning, sir. ” “Good morning,” responded the offi sial, with a cheerful, $l5O a month manner. “Is there anything we can do for you this morning?” “I don’t know really, sir, ” crooned the caller softly. ‘‘ To know if you can is the object of my visit this morning, tir. ” “Very well, state your case, and if we can do anything for you you may rest assured it will be done. ” The visitor cleared his throat pretty muoh as if he were going to deliver a sermon. “I think,” he said slowly and with hesitation, “if I mistake not, that I saw a statement in some one of the pub lic prints to the effect that this office would not issue a patent on Sunday. Is that true, sir?” “Quite true. It does not. ” “Why is that, sir, if I may ask?” “It is against the rules of the office is all I know. ’ ’ “Will it issue one on any other day of the seven, sir?” “Certainly it will. That is what it is here for. ’ ’ “Oh, thank you, how nice,” twitter ed the visitor, taking a large madras handkerchief from his coattail pocket, shaking it out and wiping 'his brow withit. “That being the case, if you will be kind enough to let me have one on Tuesday, sir, you will do me a great personal favor. You see, sir, Tuesday is my birthday, and I want a patent on it so no one can use it for birthday pur poses, sir, except myself.”—Washing ton Star.

The sensitiveness of the families of distinguished men as to the early oc cupations of their ancestors is some what remarkable. Recently an author was asked to write a brief history of the life of a man who had done service to his state. Like Lincoln, this man had been a woodchopper, a fact to which his historian gave prominence. “Don’t say he was‘a woodchopper, ’ ” said the spokesman of the family. “That will never do. ” * ‘ What 1 say then?’ ’ asked the author. “Say—let me see now. Just say that he was connected \vith the lumber busi ness. ” —Atlanta Constitution. The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a community of simple, honestj, God-fear ing men and women, have prepared the Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years, and it is always the same, simple, honest, curative medicine that has helped to make the Shakers the healthy, long-lived people that they are. The Shakers never have indigestion. This is partly owing to their simple mode of life, partly to the wonderful properties of Shaker Di gestive Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the stomach glands not supplying enough digestive juice. Shaker Deges tive Cordial supplies what’s wanting. Shaker Dicestive Cordial invigorates the stomach and all its glands so that after awhile they don’t need help. As evidence of the honesty of Shaker Di gestive Cordial, the formula is printed on every bottle.

A SNAG, Worth County Authorities Have Trouble With Tneir Convicts Atlanta, Oct. 7.--Tne county author ities of Worth county struck a snag when they undertook to remove twenty seven misdemeanor convicts from the two private camps.of Tatiim and Greer Bros.' Sheriff H. T. Story went to tbe camps armed with an order from County Judge J. J. McDowell, authorizing the removal of the convicts to ths county jail, but he went away without the pris oners. Greer Bros, refused to release the men, and so did Tatum, when the sheriff went to that camp. The reason given was that they had paid the fines of the men, thus complying with the sen tences, and that this ended the relations of the prisoners with the court and the sheriff. Tbe point seemed to be well taken, and though two Weeks have elapsed, the county authorities have made no further effort to take the convicts to jail • Lawyers who have discussed the matter freely expressed tbe opinion that the judge cannot order the men to jail after their fines have been I paid, but they say a habeas corpus would release everyone of the men de tained at these camps. If they have contracted with Ta tum and Greer Bros, to work out the amount of fines advanced the con tract might be binding in a civil ac tion, but personal detention could not be enforced or justified in court. It is said that a great many of the misdemeanor convicts in private camps are held under a similar ar rangement by the payment of fines. Greer Bros, work misdetneonor con victs very extensively. They have a saw mill at Dakota, in Dooly county, and have another camp in worth. A'to gether they work 175 convicts. Tatum has a turpentine camp in Worth county and wo'rks thirty-five or forty misdemeanor convicts. It seems that no one can act in the matter but a prisoner or some moving in his behalf. The prisoners are work ing off on the roads and people are loth to stir up trouble for th»ir neighbors, so it is possible that the convicts do not know that they are illegally detained.
