One Experience of Many.
Having experienced a great deal of
“Trouble!” from indigestion, so
much so that I came near losing my
Life!
My trouble always came after eat
ing any food—
However light
And digestible,
For two or three hours at a time I
had to go through the most
Excruciating pains,
“And the only way I ever got”
“Relief! - ’
Was by throwing up all my stom
ach contained!! No one can conceive
the pains that I had to go through,
until
“At last?’’
I wus taken! “So that for three
weeks lay in bed and
Could eat nothing!!!
My sufferings were so that I called
two"doctors to give me, something
that would stop the pain.
Their efforts were no good to me.
At last I heard a good deal
•‘About your Hop Bitters!
And determined to try them.”
Got a bottle—in four hours I took
the contents of
One!!!
Next day I was out of bed, and have
not seen a

Hour, from the same cause, since.
I have recommended it to hundreds
of others. You have no such

EDITORIAL GLIMPSES.
Capt. Davenport, of Preston. Ga.,
whose wounding of his wife and at
tempted suicide we noted last week,
has died, and his wife is in a precari
ous condition. His intellect was un
doubtedly unbalanced at the time of
the occurrence.
The Grand Jury of Earlv county,
found a true bill against U. W Davis,
charging him with killing Judge J.
B. Jones. The homicide whicli occur
red some months ago, caused much
comment at the time, ami the coro
ner's jury called it justifiable homi
cide and a succeeding grand jury, re
fused to find a true bill on tin- same
ground. The action of the last grand
jury above noted, causes much com
ment and perhaps disapprobation.
The result of the Ohio election,
leaves it doubtful whether Senator
Sherman may be re-elected. The
State Senate is democratic, so that
Mr. Foraker's nominations may fail,
as they have to be sustained by the
advice and consent of the Senate.
Mr. Sherman may be defeated for re-
election. He ought to be defeated.
If their bloody shirt ideas are sanc
tioned in the North aud West, it will
disturb the peace and quiet of the
country, we cannot tell how long.—
The South has become reconciled in
a great measure to the existing state
of things and, if met in kindly sym
pathy by the North and West, old
feelings will die out and peace will be
universal in our whole country. .We
desire the restoration, perpetually, pf
that good feeling between the sec
tions. The North and West can main
tain it if they will it. We sincerely
hope they will do so for the general
good. Senator Sherman is a man of
distinguished ability and professes to
possess the most straight-laced virtue.
But it is evident his doctrine and
practical morality take two opposite
roads. He professes to desire peace
and yet suggests political methods
that would destroy existing peace.
Justice and charity should meet to
gether in the settlement of our polit
ical difficulties, but he scatters the
shadows of falsehood over the South
unjustly and uncharitably, to gratify
his ambitious aims. With him the
web of our Southern life is a mingled
yarn of good and ill together, the
good in the blacks, the ill in the
whites. He reminds us of a charac
ter in “Bertram” whom Shakspeare
describes as “a very tainted fellow,
and full of wickedness.” The South,
by common consent owes duty to the
Union, and her power claims' justice
and respect. Mr. Sherman and oth
ers like him, seem to take pleasure in
tendering us their revenge and hate.
Card of Mr. Theodore Markwalter.
All of our subscribers know what
we think of Mr. Markwalter as an art
ist in his tender and touching line of
business. With the exception of a
few of* them, wo have told them
what we think of his beautifully ar
tistic work in memory of the loved
and lost. But we have a plan of dis
tributing papers to persons who are
not regular subscribers, and this
makes it proper for us to repeat, in
substance wliat we have said before.
In monumental sculpture in memory
of the dead, lie lias adorned many
beautiful and affecting spots in va
rious parts of Georgia, with the most
tasteful decoration that art can pro
duce, such as keep in mind the deep
and lingering love of those who still
live in the hearts of sorrowing friends.
Those who erect monuments over the
loved and lost, want ingenious and
elegant monumental offerings, such
as, by their purity and beauty, will
be In sympathy with all the heart's
teuderest llowers of affection. Mr.
Markwalter is an artist to meet this
most sacred want. Some think they
must go to Northern climes, or dis
tant lauds, for monuments of affec
tion and love. Mr. Markwalter lias
the genius to gratify the living, who
mourn the dead, as well and hand
some! y^as it can he done by artists
who erect them in the most celebrat
ed cemeteries of New York or Paris or
London and his prices are as low as
the cost of the material and work will
permit.
FIGHT FOR A GIRL.
A BLOODY STREET DUEL IN
BIRMINGHAM.
Birmingham, Ala., October 26.—
Special to Atlanta Constitution.—Bir
mingham has bore the brunt of many
false reports about her people's mor
als, but nothing has so pained her cit
izens as the unfortunate shooting of
two young men to-night at 7 o’clock.
Walter Orr, a handsome young Mis-
sissippian, who has >'een here for the
past four years in the livery business,
and Phil Givan, a clerk in a furnish
ing goods store, were in love with
Mrs. Mattie Rose. To-niglit Orr had
an engagement to carry this lady out
to the great revival conducted by the
famous Sam Jones.
THE ASSAULT MADE.
When Orr reached the home of the
young lady, she was awaiting him at
the front gate, and the two started
leisurely down Third avenue toward
Sam Jones’ tent, five squares away.
After walking two squares a man ap
proached, and grabbing Orr's right
arm, said:
“You are the d—d scoundrel I am
looking for.'’
Orr at once recognized Phil Givan.
his rival, and at once prepared to de
fend himself, as he had previously
been warned that Givan would shoot
him if he ever caught him with this
young lady. Realized the impending
trouble, Givan drew a pistol and be
gan firing on his rival, while the girl
still held Orr's arm. At the first dis
charge she screamed ami ran across
the street. Orr drew his pistol, re
turning the fire. Eaeli had 38 calibre,
five shooting Smith & Wesson, and
when the duel was over it was found
that every chamber of b^th pistols
were emptied.
BOTH MEN DYING
Orr was shot twice, the fatal one
entering the abdomen. Givan was
also shot twice, once in the arm, the
surgeons think the other ball pene

near by, and borrowed another, anil

THEIR DYING DECLARATIONS.
Orr staggered into the residence of
W. T. McCutcbeon. He was met by
Mr. Clayton, who laid him on a sofa.
Drs. Hendlv, Shoemaker and Dozier
were called, and told him the wounds
were fatal. He made a wilL Rev.
Mr. Purser, minister of the First Bap

Mrs. L. H. Morgan also offered pray

Orr said:
“I have been worldly, but if God
would let ine live, I would live a
Christian life. I love Christian peo
ple.” There is much excitement. Gi

drug store, where his wounds were
dressed by Dr. Luckie. He was hit
twice, one being fatal. He will die.

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Oct. 29, 18S5.
The present occupant of the White
House can always be found at his
place of business. During the week
the whole fashionable world within
reach of the Washington race course
have been%ttending the autumnal ra
ces. President Arthur could always
be found there, usually in company
with Attorney General Brewster.
President Cleveland is known to he
an admirer of horses and during the
meeting of the Jockey Club, promi
nent men belonging to it made an ef
fort to have him attend, but the chief
executive would not be moved.
Mr. Cleveland would have liked to
have visited Richmond., V11, Goring
the past week on the occasion of the
opening of the State Fair, but he was
afraid that his presence might he con
strued as trying to influence the e-
lectiou in that State. After consulta
tion with the Cabinet, the trip was
abandoned. However, lie will go to
New York next week to vote, and it
is understood that he will not make
any more important appointments
until his return.
Much nonsense has been circulated
recently concerning lack of harmony
in the Cabinet, ami the resignation of
certain of its members is now being
discussed. It is believed by persons
who would be most likely "to know,
that the President receives the most
cordial support from his cabinet, and
that their relations are not strained
in any case.
Mr. Garland, who, it lias been said,
would withdraw from the Cabinet,
likes the duties of his office, and is
making an excellent head of the De
partment of Justice. It may* be'in
teresting to know how lie looks upon
his future politically. He said: "The
office of Attorney General came to
me unsolicited. The President sought
me: neither my friends nor I sought
him. When 1 accepted, I determined
tq make as good an Attorney General
tys I could. When 1 left the Henate my
future politically ended. When I
leave this office, 1 will go to my home
in Arkansas, and I will never again
participate in polities.”
The presence of Senator John Sher
man in this city was made the occa
sion of a serenade at the Ebbitt
House. A sufficient sum was raised
by the faithful Ohioans who did not
go home to vote to pay for the music
and a little crowd of about two hun
dred people listened to the cheap mel
ody and cheaper eloquence of the tall,
angular Senator, who came out and
flaunted the bloody shirt vigorously.
He said, near the close of his speech,
he was on his way to Virginia. “Yes,’’
said a bystander, “and if you repeat
there your speech of to-niglit you will
surely elect Fitz Lee." This sally caus
ed a good deal of laughter and ap
plause. Senator Sherman spoke for
about an hour. The purity of the
ballot was his principal hobby. He
declared that every national election
since 1868 had been tainted with fraud
and terrorism, and shaking his fist at
the White House, he asserted that
last year, by unlawful combination
and fraud, Grover Cleveland had been
elected President of the United States,
when if there hud been a fair count,
James G. Blaine would have beeu e-
lected.
He said many other things illustra
tive of his immense powers of falsehood
and venom, but his declaration that
Mr. Cleveland was elected by fraud is
edifying, coming from a man who
helped to steal the Louisiana vote for
Hayes in 1876. A threat he mude of
reducing the representation of the
South in-Congress is entitled to atten
tion, merely as furnishing an insight
into Mr. Sherman's purposes and
hopes.
In regard to the conflicting state
ments about Mr. Cleveland's attitude
in the New York campaign, it is known
that he lias all along been heartily in
lavor of Gov. Hill and for the election
of the entire Democratic ticket. He
had information from his friends in
that state that Gov. Hill and the en
tire ticket would be elected by a large
majority. His action in contributing
$1,000 toward the campaiign expenses
is only what might have been expected
of him. The President's aversion to ap
pearing in public prints was the cause
of the misunderstanding.
Mr. Cleveland holds receptions in
the East Room on Mondays, Wednes
days, aud Fridays. The attendance
at them is increasing every day. Many
come desiring to see the" first Demo
cratic ^President since Buchanan.
All that they ask is a handshake, and
the President gives them that as a
solemn duty. There are many bri
dal couples among his callers, who
will remember the glimpse they thus
catch of the President, and repeat the
account of their visit to their children
and grand-children, and treasure the
little nosegay he gives them as an
heirloom.
ANALYZING THE BAKING POW
DERS.
Under the direction of the New
York State Board of Health, eighty-
four different kinds of baking pow
ders, euibrucing all the brands tlmt
could be found for sale in the State,
were submitted to examination and
analysis by Prof. C. F. Chandlers, a
Member of the State Board and Presi
dent of the New York City Boaril of
Health, assisted by Prof. Edward G.
Love, the well-known 'late United
States Government chemist.
The official report shows that a
large number of the powders examin
ed were found to contain alum or
lime; many of them to sucli an extent
as to render them seriously objection
able for use in the preparation of. hu
man food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine
samples. This drug is employed in
baking powders to cheapen their cost.
The presence of lime is attributed to
the impure cream of tartar of com
merce used in their manufacture.
Such cream of tartar was also analyz
ed, and found to contain lime and
other impurities; in some samples to
the extent of 93 per cent, of their en
tire weight.
All the baking powders of the mar
ket, with the single exception of “Roy
al" (not including the alum and phos
phate powders, which were long since
discarded as unsafe or inefficient by
prudent housekeepers j are made from
the impure cream of tartar of com
merce, and consequently contain lime
to a corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found
by chemical analysis to be entirely
free from lime and" absolutely pure is
the “Royal.■’ Thisperfeet purity re
sults from the exclusive use of cream
of tartar specially refined and prepar
ed by patent processesof the N. 5 . Tar
tar Co. which totally remove the tar
trate of lime and other impurities.
The cost of this chemically pure cream
of tartar is much greater than any
other, and on account of this greater
cost is used in no baking powder but
the “Royal". .
Prof. Love, who made the analysis
of baking powders for the New York
State Board of Health as well as for
the Government, says of the purity
aud wholesomeness of “Royal: - ’
“I have tested a package of ‘Royal
Baking Powder,’ which 1 purchased
in the open market, and find it com
posed of pure and wholesome ingre
dients. It is a cream of tartar pow
der of a high degree of merit, and does
not contain either alum or phosphates
or any injurious substances.

SOME DAY.
Some day when the Sowers have faded,
And the summer days have (rone.
When the heart of love Is shaded,
As yon wait in tears alone.
L. t the rays of sunshine cheer you,
Wliilc the birds sins' songs of glee;
Keep life's roses ever near you,
And the future bright shall be.
Some day ycur friends will leave you.
With the warm, true love they gave—
It may be death that has bereft you,
And you stand beside their grave.
Do not let jour heart grow weary,
In the gloom of earth’s dart night;
Look beyond those hours so dreary.
And behold the dawn of light.
Some day, when your age is nearing,
And your hair Is turned to gray.
When life's prospsets are not cheering,
A3 you dream of childhood's dav,
bo not turn away in sorrow.
With a heart grown cold through care;
Watch and wait for a to-morrow*
When the sky is calm and fair.
Softie day, when love Is bringing
lou so near the heavenly throne,
An,[ you hear the angels singing,
iriilie a kind, dear voice sajs. Come!
Do not wait tnis side the river.
Through the long, dark hours of night;
Go to One who is life's giver
In tha world of glorious light.
AClil'STA
THE ALARM.
[Boston Globe.]
“Burplars!” cried Mr. Jones.
“Burglars’’ screamed Mrs. Jones.
Burglars'.” screamed the Misses
Jones. “Burglars'." screamed Master
Jones, as one after the other lights
flashed in the upper rooms, and hasti
ly draped forms appeared at the bed
room doors like the signal figures of a
barometer.
Jones and son followed each other
down-stairs, one with a poker and
the other with a croquet-mallet, and
the street door was found open and
a silk umbrella, and two huts hau van
ished from the rack. Jones senior
believed that he saw two heels vanish
ing around the corner and yelled
"police," but only the echoesans'wered
him, and after a careful search of the
house and some lamentations over the
hats and umbrellas the Jones family
returned to their pillows, though
each one declared next morning that
he or she had not closed an eye.
“And the worst of it is,” said Mrs.
Jones, “they'll be here again. When
burglars determine to enter a house
thev always do it.”
“I know a fellow who has a splendid
dog that he'll sell," said Master Jones.
“The fiercest fellow: bite *1 piece out
of you as soon as look at you. I’ll get
him if yon like, and we can turn him
into the hall nights.’’
“Thank you,’’ said Mrs. Jones.
“I'd as soon have my throat cut by
burglars as be torn to pieces by a
savage dog.’’
“But he'd know us all in a few days,’’
said young Jones. “Pa, don't you
think it's the best plan?—the big^
gest fellow; you ought to bear him
howl.’’
“A dog is impossible in a city house
with four feet of garden ground,”
said Mr. Jones: “but I’ll buy an alarm
and a pistol, and keep it loaded under
mynillow.”
"Then I shall sleep elsewhere,” said
Mrs. Jones. “No, I'll sit up ull night,
every night, until I die, before that
shall" be done.”
“All women are idiots,'’ said Mr.
Jones.
“All men are crazy,” said Mrs.
Jones. “But you shall have your
way and shoot your family if you like.
That always comes of having fire-arms
about.”
“Let them come in and murder us,
then,” said Mr. Jones. “I suppose
you object to the alarm, too.’’
But finally the alarm was decided
upon and purchased and attached to
all the doors and windows on the
lower floor; and two days after this
was done Mr. Jones, being obliged to
leave home on business, congratula
ted himself upon his promptitude of
action.
“With this alarm you are quite safe,
my dear,’’ he said, as lie took his de
parture. “The minute you hear it,
open the windows and scream for the
policemen.”
Mr. Jones then stepped into the
carriuge, which whirled him to the
train which conveyed him to a distant
city. Then he became very much
occupied with certain important
affairs, and when he had been ab
sent a month, he forgot all about the
burglars, as well as all about the
alarm.
The letters from home did not men
tion it, and so it passed entirely from
his memory; and, as at last, he found
himself on his homeward way upon a
night train which he had taken quite
unexpectedly—for he had written the
day before that he should not be back
for a week—it occurred to him that
his arrival would be a delightful sur
prise for the family. He 'had his
latch-key with, him and he quite chuck
led over the thought of letting himself
in, and being found snug in bed next
morning.
Won t there be a time?” said he to
himself. “Ma’ll scream. The girls—I
can hear ’em laugh. And Sam will
pretend not to be astonished—ha, ha,
ha!”
“So, with his ponnanteau in his
hand, Mr. Jones, having reached home,
ascended the steps of his domicile anil
deliberately but softly proceeded to
open his front door.
As he did so the alarm was sprung, a
racket and jingle filleit the house and
simultaneously Mrs. Jones, the Misses
Jones, Master Jones, the cook, the
chambermaid and the waiter thrust
their heads out of their respective,
windows and screamed “police!’’
Almost as they did so two clubs
struck the pavement and two giants
in uniform seized Mr. Jones by the
anns.
Ah, got vou this time,” cried one
of them. We’ve been looking for you
for some time, too.”
“Let me go,” said Mr. Jones. “I
live here. It’s a mistake.”
“Y’es, I’ve no doubt it’s a mistake, ,r
said the policeman.
“But tell them—tell them; let me
offer proof,” pleaded Mr. Jones.
“They all know me; tell them It’s Mr.
Jones.”
He says it's Mr. Jones,” cried tho
policeman to a nightcap and shawl, at
the window.
“My husband is in Chicago,” said
Mrs. Jones.
But she peeped out nervously.
However, she did not recognize her
husband. Mr Jones had left home
in a fall hat and overcoat; but during
his absence he had unfortunately
purchased a travelling “ulster” that
touched his heels, and a cap. He
wore both, as was natural upon a mid
night jonrny.
“No, I neversaw that object before,”
said Mrs. Jones. “Do take him
away.”
“Ilou'11 appear to morrow?” said the
E ol iceman. “You’ll appear against
im, ina ’am.”
“Decidedly. I shall consider it my
duty,’’ said the lady, and shut the
window. . , ...
Then Jones remonstrated with ihe
policemen, and begged to have Mr.
Smith next door called, and was told
to hold his tongue. Jones was not a
mild man. Ina few minutes his wrath
boiled over; he attacked the police
men with his umbrella bravely and was
totally defeated. He arrived at the
station-house with a black eye and a
bruise on his forehead, and frothing
at the mouth with rage; and was locked
up after having been recognized by
several experts as “Tommy the Tap
per,” a noted burglar, for whose arrest
a large reward was offered. His valise
was taken away from him, also his
watch and pocket-hook. He was shut
up in a cell with an intoxicated tramp
who had arrived at that stage of de-
liruin tremens at which snakes ore the
favorite delusion, and who took poor
Mr. Jones for one, or several of them,
anil insisted on treading on his head.
In argument and single combat
with this gentleman Mr. Jones pass
ed the hours until morning, when he
was taken from his highly-perfumed
sequestration anil dragged through
the bleak streets to a court of justice,
where he attempted to explain mat
ters once more, and was still explain
ing them without producing the slight
est effect upon any one when his wife
anil son arrived.
Even then the ulster, the cap and
the black eye deceived poor Mrs. Jones
for a few moments, and but for Sam
there is no knowing what might have
become of the unhappy gentleman.
However, Sam came to his rescue .and
tho three went home together in a
cab, Mrs. Jones moaning and wring
ing her hands all the way, and Mr.
Jones threatening to sue for a divorce.
He forgave his wife at last, bowev-
■ imt !„• never forgave the alarm,
\\lciuolished forthwith.
