COSTS $1,400 DAILY
Georgi Legislature Costs $70,000 for
50 Day’s Session.
HJI WHEELER SIYED STATE SIOO,OOO
The Walker County Representative, Now
Deal, Watched Everything—Some
Goes p About Yancey Carter.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Macon Telegraph sends his paper the
fallowing interesting gossip:
The Georgia legislature costs a fig
ure approximating <1,400 daily. There
are 219 members, with clerks, pages,
pirtere, etc. This sum multiplied by
50, the number of days to which a ses
sion of the legislature is limited, will
give a $70,000 result —the cost of the
entire session of 50 days. This is $100,-
000 below the old mark, before the
passage of what is known as the as
the Wheeler bill, in 1891.
Wheeler, a tall, slender mountain
eer now dead, was a member of the
lower house for many years. He al
ways drew*a seat or swapped for one
close up under the clerk’s desk, and
none of these little special jobs appro
priating $lO pay for $1 services ever
escaped bis attention. No faithful
watchdog ever guarded his master’s
treasure more devotedly than Wheel
er stood up by the people’s money.
He presented a bill in 1890 to go into
effect in 1893, providing for annual
sessions of the legislature—sessions
not to exceed fifty days, unless there
were such graxe matters on hand as
impeachment or treason trials. His
bill became a law, and annually since
1893 the state has saved the good sum
of SIOO,OOO in legislative expenses. He
is dead now and sleeps in an unmark
ed grave in a lonely little cemetery up
in Walker county. The writer knew
him well. It is to such men as this
humble man that the commonwealth
should erect monuments.
Senator Carter is not quite pleased
over the newspaper statement that he i->
a populist, candidate for governor. “I
am a populist,” he said to your corre
spondent, “but I am not seeking guber
natorial honors. Indeed,” he continued,
‘•I have not the remotest idea that I will
be iate, neither do I
know who will be the candidate of.my
party. lamat a loss to comprehend the
newspiper reporters o’ - this day,” he de
clared. “They are getting to quickjor
me.”
Asked what he thought of the Turner
prohibition bill, which was killed last
Friday and revivified today, he remarked :
“Weil, I voted against it because, per
sonally, I am against all compulsory leg
islation, and, then, because there is noth
ing in the populist state p atform that
demand- prohibition, We have asked
for the dispensary system, not for prohi
bition.”
In reply to the query, “How does Tom
Watson feel toward you now?” the Har
well man smiltd a far-away sort of smile
that seemed to say that “Tom w'll roast
me for that vote in the next issue of hin
little paper.”
“Watson is growing old,” continued
Mr. Carter, “and he is like an old wo
man, he likes to spit and fuss. He al
ways has a jaundiced liver—what is
known in doctoi’s vernacular as a cirr
hosis liver. It’s a lamentable disease.
But for that and the fact that Tom is
wormy on general principles he might
have been a great man.”

He further stated that in this work
alone 6.000 cedar poles would be used,
costing at the rate of $2 50 apiece. To
put these poles up will cost another
dollar. Two or three of the wires will
be taken down and new copper lines
placed in their stead. The line will be a
double one, down both sides of the rail -

Chattanooga, at once. Just as soon as
the poles can be distributed the work of
constructing the new line will commence.
Other work will be done at once, but
the officials are not ready to make public

SIMPLICITY ITSELF,
A SIMPLE HARMLESS REMEDY,
Yet It Cures the Worst Cases of Dyspepsia
and Icdlgestlon,
Dr, Jennison, who has made a life
study of stomach troubles, says: All
forms of indigestion really amount to
the same thing, that is, failure to com
pletely digest the food eaten; no matter
whether the trouble is acid dyspepsia
or sour stomach, belching of wind, ner
vous Dyspepsia or loss of flesh and ap
pstite; a person will not have any of
them if the stomach can be induced by
any natural, harmless way to thorongh
-- digest what is eaten; and this can be
done by a simple remedy which I have
tested in hundreds of aggravated cases
with complete success. The remedy is a
combination of fruit acd vegetable es
sences, pure aseptic pepsin and golden
seal put up in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets and sold by druggists un
der the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets One or two of these tablets
should be taken after meals and allowed
to dissolve in the mouth and mingling
with the to id in the stomach digests it
completely before it has time to ferment
decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of
Stuart’s Dysp-psia Tablets will digest
three thousand grains of meat, eggs
and similar wholesome foods.
It is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known, by people
generally, it would be a national bles
sing as we are a nation of dyspeptics
and nine tenths of all diseases owe their
origin to imperfect digestion and nu
trition.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent medicine, bnt a fifty cent
package will do more real good for a
Weak stomach than fifty dollars worth
of patent medicines and a person has
tie satisfaction of knowing just what
he is putting in bis stomach, which he
does, not know, when widely advertised
patent medicines are used.

Tablets, full sized packages 50cts.

About the Murder of the Atlanta Police*
man—The Arrests Made.
Atlanta, Nov. 9 —Patrolman J. T.
Ponder was shot dowu here while
shadowing a supposed burglar. He saw
a man enter the wholesale liquor house
of L. Steiuau, ou Wall street. Owing
to the fact that the house had been bur
glarized some two weeks ago, the pa
trolman had the place under surve 1 ance.
Consequently he followed the man into
the store.
Just as he stepped inside the door be
hind the supposed burglar, and was in
the act of striking a match, five shots
were fired from about midway the store
and the policeman fell to the floor mor
tally wounded. He managed to recover
sufficiently to give the alarm, but be
fore assistance came he died.
The assassin made his escape through
a rear door. A patrolman, who paces
the beat on Loyd street, near Decatur,
saw a man come from the rear of the
store about the time of the shooting,
and identified him as being a white
mini.
L. Steinau, proprietor of the store in
which the tragedy occurred; Julius Si
mon, a partner of recent date; Walter
O’Quiun, a former employe, and three
negroes are all under arrest, and will be
subjected to a thorough examination,
the police believing that they were in
Borne way connected with the crime.
During the past two weeks the .tore
has been burglarized twice. The first
time about $250 was taken from the
»afe. Since tiiat time the place has
been shadowed, and a few nights ago,
it is said, a patrolman passing by saw
Walter O'Quinn and au unknown man
come from the store with goods.
Monday morning the store was closed
by the sheriff 1 , being a result of the filing
of a deluge of mortgages. Patrolman
Ponder was placed on the beat to
shadow the store, and was in the act of
detecting the supposed burglar when he
met his death.
The bid which asked for a receiver
alleged that Steiuau is insolvent and
has transferred his property to the det
riment of his creditors.
The police believe that Steinau or
some member of the firm was in the act
of robbing the vault, and when the po
liceman' was discovered he was shot
down to cover their guilt.
It. has developed when the receiver
left the building just before the killing
he locke.i the big vault and turned the
combination. After the assassination
the vauit was found open, and a bunch
of keys picked up near the door. Later
developments identify the keys as the
property of Steinau.
Upon tiiis thread of evidence the po
lice believe that they have the right
party under arrest.
Steiuau. Simon, O'Quinn and the ne
groes deny any participation in the
crime.
A coroner’s investigation of the mur
der will begin Wednesday morning at
10 o’clock.

Inherited blood diseases are mucli
more difficult to cure than those which
are acquired. One of the most commoc
hereditary diseases is Scrofula, which
the medical profession admit is most
obstinate and deepseated, and their ef
forts to cure it meet with little success.
A child afflicted with Scrofula is always
puny and sickly, and can never grow
into healthy manhood until the disease
is eliminated. Scrofula leads into con
sumption nine times out of ten, so that
it is important for this reason that im
mediate attention be given to all chil
dren who inherit the slightest taint.
Mrs. S. S. Mabry, 360 Elm St., Macon,
Ga., writes:
“My boy, Charlie, inherited a scrofu
lous blood taint, and from infancy was
covered with terrible sores, his sufferings
being such that it was impossible tc
dress him for three years.
■ o
I ’
CHARLIE MABRY
His head and body were a mass
Os sores, and his nose was swollen tc
several times its natural size; to add tc
his misery he had catarrh, which made
him almost deaf, and his eyesight also
became affected. No treatment was
spared that we thought would relieve
him, but he grew worse until his condi
tion was indeed pitiable. A dozen blood
remedies were given him by the whole
sale, but they did not the slightest good.
I had almost despaired of his ever being
cured, when by the advice of a friend w«
gave him S.S.S. (Swift’s Specific), and
at first the inflammation seemed to in
crease, but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid of the poison, by forcing it out
of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided im
provement was the result, and after he
had taken a dozen bottles, no one who
knew of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized him. All the
sores on his body have healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect health.”
Mr. A. T. Morgan, one of the promi
nent druggists of Macon, and a member
of the board of aidermen of that city,
savs:_ “I am familiar with the terrible
condition of little Charlie Mabry, and
the cure which S.S.S. effected in his
case was remarkable, and proves it to
be a wonderful blood remedy.”
S.S.S. is the on’y eure for deepseated
blood diseases, such as Scrofula, Rheu
matism, Cancer, Eczema, Catarrh, etc.
It is the only blood remedy guaranteed
Purely Vegetable
and contains no potash, no mercury or
other mineral, which means so much tc
all who know the disastrous effects cf
