IGOSSIP OF A DAY. J
“T«m nany Is the most powerful po
lical organization in the world,” said
Col. D. B. Hamilton yesterday He
has just returned from New York
where he remained daring the recent
election.
•‘I looked into the methods of Tamma
ny” he continued ‘'and I feel sure that
no independent movement can ever
win against such perfect organization.
Van WVck is a man of back-bone and
a southerner, too. He has blessed
out Tam nany once before. I believe
he will make a good mayor.
“Croker and Platt, I believe from
all I heard, have an agreement by
which the former is to control the city
and the later the state. The corpo
rations were down on Low for fear he
would not grant them franchises.
Tracy was simply the tool of Platt. ”
Col. Hamilton comes home wearing
a Van Wyck button. Knowing his
interest in the Indianapolis conven
tion and the fact that he was a Pal
mer and Buckner elector for Georgia,
a Tribune reporter asked him about
his position on the subject. He said:
“I am convinced that there is room
for only two great political parties in
this country. All differences should
be settled in the party. The gold
standard advocates must go to eitb°r
the democratic or republican parties.
In my opinion the next democratic

convention will declare for currency
reform and bimetallism. I believe in
bimetallism, but not at the ratio of
sixteen to one. If the democrats all
get together we Will have a great vic
tory next time.
“The vote in New York City was
cast under the Australian ballot sys
tem. It is perfect. As far as I could
see no voter could be bought, or in
timidated. Nearly all the states have
adopted it and Georgia should, too.
“I was in the New York law offices
of Donald Harper several times, and
he certainly has a brilliant career
ahead of him. The foremost men of
the nation consult his firm daily. He
has taken a high stand among the
New York lawyers.”
Floyd county’s members of the legist

Reece and Mr. Nevin were both up to

AO® the usual thing among

I with women in robust

I iMSGb tion. It ought to be the
// I fr’WHr rule * nstea( i °fthe excep-
j ypagrw tion ; and it is a fact that
i ( a very large proportion
°i the usual pain and suf
feting maybe avoided by
looking after the mother’s general health,
and specially strengthening the particular
organs concerned in parturition.
Many mothers have been brought through
the trying time almost painlessly by the aid
of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It
prepares the system for delivery by im
parting the organic strength and elasticity
which the mother specially needs; shortens
the time of labor and of confinement; pro
motes the secretion of abundant nourish
ment for the child and fortifies the entire
constitution against the after period of de
pression and weakness. It’s use should
begin in the early months of gestation—the
earlier the better.
Mrs. Fred Hunt, of Glenville, Schenectady Co.,
N. y., says : " I rya.i about Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
' Prescription being so good for a woman with
child, so I got two bottles last September, and
December 13th, I had a twelve-pound baby girl.
When I was confined I was not sick in any way.
I did not suffer any pain, and when the child
was born I walked into another room and went
to bed. I never had an after-pain or any other
pain. This is the eighth child and the largest
Os them all. I suffered everything that flesh
could suffer with the other babies. I always had
a doctor and then he could not help me very
much, but this time my mother and my husband
were alone with me. My baby was only seven
days old when I got up and dressed aud left my
room and stayed up all day."

He now thinks the convicts will be leased
again.
Senator Wesley Shropshire spent Sun
day in the city with his family.
“I once saw the most peculiar method
of thrashing wheat, I think, that 's used
anywhere in the world,” said Mr. Dennis
Hills, an old Floyd county boy, but who
has been a citizen of New Orleans for
miny years. “It was while I was mak
i >g a trip through Mexico several years
ago. My business carried me to the
hacienda of a wealthy Mexican some dis
tance removed both from any town or
railroad. I noticed immense wneat fields
in the shock as I arrived.
“That night my host asked me if I did
not want to see them thrash wheat. I
assented, and we went forth. The moon
shone in a cloudless sky with almost the
brilliance of day. I expected of course,
to see a great steam thrashing machine,
because the rancher was a man of im
mense wealth, and no little refinement.
“But we arrived on the scene at last,
and there the strangest sight I ever wit
nessed confronted me. They had erected
a very large circular coral, the fl ior of
which was smooth stone. The sides were
partly stone ard partly planking. In
this coral was heaped great quantities of
wheat in the s raw. As we came up
about fifty head of wild, untamed Mexi
can mules were turned. Attached to the
tail of one of them was a raw hide drum
filled with pebbles. The noise was most
terrifying, and those little animals raced
about over the loose wheat straw in a
frantic manner most ludicious to behold.
And it was thus that their wheat was
hr ashed. The wild mules trampled it
out beneath their flying feet.”
Prof. E G. Romig, the aeronaut, has
abandoned his skyward trips, for the
time being at least, and a few days ago
sold his old balloon for the insignificant
consideration of 50 cents. The miterial
for the balloon originally cost about $l5O,
and Romig did all the work of forming
it into an aerial vessel. For over ten
years has he made aeronautics his pro
fession, and during that time has made
1,400 ascensions. Only once did behave
anything like a thrilling escape, and
that was by descending into a dead tree, i
whose gaunt, bare limbs upreared like
great spikes in the air. By sheer luek
(which one is persuaded to believe,
sometimes, is better than riches) he came
down all right, but those few seconds of
imminent danger left their traces on [
Romig—streaks of gray through his
locks.
About five years ago Romig con
ceived the idea of taking Jennie Yan
Yan, the monkey up with him. At
first he took her on the bar along side
of him. She didn’t fancy it much at
first, but was so lost in amazement
that she made no trouble. The fear
finally wore off, and Jennie b egan
making the journey on her own para
chute. Now nothing pleases her so
well as to take the quick flights into
the clouds, and the journey back to
earth.
Sunday was an ideal Indian sum
mer day. The churches all had a
a very large attendance —somehow a
bright, sunshiny Sabbath always
ciuses more people to attend worship
than on other occasions The failure
of the electric cars to do service, in
convenienced many, but very nearly
everybody was out during the after
noon. Those who had or could hire
vehicles drove out in the country
where the woods were decked in their
glory of scarlet and gold and all the
kaleidoscopic colors that go up to make
them objects for poet’s, song. Bicy
diets, too, were out in full force
whirling along the smooth pikes.
Those not so fortunate as to possess
either mode of travel, were content
to walk. _

Married In Virginia.
On Nov. 4 in Salem, Va., Miss Lucy
Morgan was married to Louis Boothe.
The bride lived in Rome in 1895, and
attended school here and has many
friends.- She made her home here with
Mrs. J. M. Perkins. The Roanoke Times
says of the wedding:
Yesterday evening at 5 o’clock at the
country the bride’s father, W.
A, Morgan, Miss Lucy, his youngest
daughter, was united in marriage to
Louis Boothe. The marriage was a quiet
home affair and was consummated in
the presence of the two families of the
contracting parties and a few invited
friends. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. H. C. V. Campbell, of the
Salem Presbyterian church. The parlor
was tastily decorated with white chrys- j
anthemums. Miss Hattie Wolfenden 1
played the wedding march and beneath
the roof of the old homestead the happy
yonng couple were made one. The bride
was dressed in a dark green tailor-made
gown with hat to match. Directly after
the ceremony the yonng conple were
tendered a reception at the home of the
groom’s father, Capt. P. B. Boothe.
Louis Boothe formerly lived in Danville,
Va., where he was for a number of years
deputy clerk of the city court. Mr. and
Mrs. Boothe leave this morning for a
bridal trip South, after which they will
live in Salem.
Bearing Was Affected.
“I was troubled with catarrh for
five years and my hearing was affected
so that I was nearly deaf in one ear.
The first bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla
did me good and I continued taking
it until I was well. I have no symp
toms of catarrh and my bearing is all
right.” E. A. Willoughby, Marietta,
Ga.

MAY BLOW IN FURNACES.
Southern Minrng Company Getting Ready
to Resume Work.
The indications are that the new South
ern Mining Company, successors to the
defunct Georgia Mining, Manufacturing
and Investment Comp ny, will at once
put one or two of their furnaces in blast
in the very near future, says the Chatta -
nooga Times.
President T. D. Meader, of the com
pany. who is also vice-president of the
Lowery Banking Company, of Atlanta,
was in the city yesteiday holding a con
ference with Capt F. H. Connor, who
has been elected general manager of the
new company. The president did not
come to discuss the present plans of the
company, but it is very evident that they
contemplate repairing and putting the
furnaces in shape.
Captain Connor said: “My office will
be at Sbellmound, Tenn., which is near
the Cole City mines. We are now op
erating the mine with 225 men and will
increase the number to about 325 inside
of thirty days. For the present we will
operate the mines only. We cannot say
yet what will be done as to the furnaces.
Something will be known, howevei, in a
few days.”
The exact nature of the conference held
yesterday is unknown, but it is expected
that steps were taken looking to the op
eration of the Rising Fawn furnace.
