CANDLER CLUB
JRGANIZED
Over One Hundred and Fifty
Names Signed to the
Roll.
Htß IS PRESIDENT
And W. D. Nottingham Vice-Pres
ident—The Work of Getting
Up Members to Commence
The Candler Club of Macon was organ
ized last night at the court house with
over 150 members who had signed the call.
The meeting was called to order by
Judge Waren D. Nottingham, who stated
the object of the meeting and at once nom
inated in complimentary terms Mr. Thos.
R. Ayer.
In accepting the nomination, Mr. Ayer
said that he appreciated very fully the I
honor that had been done him. He said
that he believed that every true Democrat
in Georgia had the highest respect for
Allen D. Candler, whom he firmly believed
would be the next governor of the state of
Georgia. Candler, he said, had served his
country honorably and faithfully as a sol
dier and as honorably and faithfully had
discharged his duty as a public official.
He alluded to Mr. 'Candler as a Democrat
who stood shoulder to shoulder with the
Democrats of the country -and who deserved
the support of the Democrats who had
marked the utter failure in the part of a
Republican administration to bring hap
piness or prosperity to this country.
The Democrats needed a man as gov
ernor of this state who stood with them
in Democratic principal and who repre
sented sturdy honesty against the gold
standard, 'against trusts and against mis
rule and he felt that such a man was to
be found in the person of Hon. Allen D.
Candler.
Mr. Hope Polhill was then unanimously
elected secretary and Judge W. D. Not
tingham was elected vice president on
motion of Mr. T. W. Doyless.
Secretary Polhill stated that in a few
for a meeting he had seen between 300 and
for a meeting he had sen between 300 and
400 people and that every one he had
seen, with three exceptions, was a Cand
ler man. The Candler sentiment was, he
said, the most unanimous thing on record.
Over 150 names of the best citizens of Ma
con were already enrolled in the club.
Judge Nottingham said that the people
and the press of the state stood for Cand
ler for governor. He was a man of the
people and for the peoplb and would rep
resent them well in the high office which
he sought and to which the people would
elect him.
'He moved that the president at his leis
ure appoint a committee of three from
each ward in the city and each district in
the county to secure names for member
ship in the Candler Club.
■The resolution passed and the meeting
adjourned subject to the call of the chair.
'T HYPNOTISM . - ’
Now Used as Cure for Insanity—Case of
Perfect Success.
New York, Peb. s—Several recent ex
periments in a Paris hospital for the in
sane has revealed the fact that hypnotism
is a mighty factor in restoring equilibrium
■to an unbalanced brain. An extraordinary
ease has just been reported.
A woman who formerly possessed a
brilliant mind, was violently mad. She
saw nothing but blood. Imaginary streams
in her delusion, continually spurted from
all pants of the room in which she was
held.
She struggled, cried in anguish, lifted
her skirts to avoid the crimson flow, but
to no avail.
Hypnotists endeavored for some days to
get control of her mind, but her terror
made it impossible.
At length one of the atendants hit upon
a scheme. The woman's cell -was made as
dark as night. A single luminous shaft
was directed into the corner of the cell.
Whirring wheels in front of the ray made
it (the light) play in fantastic gleams.
The woman was silent, fascinated. Her
eyes were rivited upon the glittering
changeable ray.
The hypnotist easily subjected her mind.
She slept.
He learned the cause of her madness
from her own lips. She had been walk
ing alone one evening in a narrow street
of Paris. She was alone through a mis
take and was trembling—feverishly anx
ious to reach her destination.
There was a stream of horror from a
window above her. The sash was thrown
up violently, and a woman’s form was
hurled out.
Whirling, screaming the skirted figure
descended? Head first it struck the stone
pavement.
Blood and brains splashed upon the
dr c ss of the pedestrian.
She was maddened with fear, and since
that time has never known a lucid mo
ment.
After learning these facts, the hypnotist
awoke his patient. Lights were turned on.
A broom covered with cloths was placed
before her eyes. The patient stared at it
in amazement.
“There,” said the physician, “see W
a fool you have been making of
- your woman, but ~ ‘ rfO’trself.

GOOD WORK
Was Done by the Fire Department Yes
terday Afternoon at 6 O’clock.
The fire department had three long runs
yesterday afternoon, two of which were
published in The News, but the last one
reflects great credit on the department.
At 6:30 o’clock an alarm was sent in
I and it was found that the home of Mr. T.
i J. Carstarphen, on College street, was on
I fire. The building is a two-story frame
dwelling, and the shingles on the roof
were, therefore, very dry, and the fire
burned rapidly. A splendid run was made
by the department and before much dam
age was done the fire was extinguished.
TEMPERANCE LECTURE

VALENTINE’S DAY.
It is at Hand, and the Lover
and the Joker and Lover
Will Have a Chance.
On February 14th in Rome a good many
centuries ago, the good Saint Valentine
was beheaded because he would not pro
fess the idolatrous faith of Emperor
Claudius.
According to the Roman legend, Valen
tinus was imprisoned and bonded over to
Calphurnius, who in turn employed Aste
rius to win him back to idolatry. Valen
tinus miraculously restored the sight of
Asterius’ blind daughter, whereupon As
terius with all his house believed and was
baptized. The saint was then beaten with
clubs and finally executed on the Flam
inian Way.
In commemoration of the death of the
martyr Saint Valentine’s day is now cele
brated throughout the world. For centu
ries it has been the custom on that day
to send to persons of the opposite sex let
ters or some expressive token, containing
sentiments of love or admiration. Accord
ing to an old belief the mating season of
birds began on St. Valentine’s day.
The iMacon stationers are already show
ing some very handsome Valentine love
tokens. They vary in price from a few
cents to several dollars, and there’s no
reason why the lovesick swain or damsel
should fail on account of smallness of
■purse to secure a fitting offering.
Os course there are a great many Cupids
this season, as there always are. One of
the prettiest valentines is Cupid’s quiver
filled with arrows of confidence, sympathy,
remembrance and love. Then there is
Cupid on my lady’s slipper, Cupid on a
butterfly and Cupid awheel.
A very pretty novelty a bunch of
keys which are supposed to unlock the'
sympathy, affection, heart, confidence and
remembrance of the sender.
The practical joker and the fun-loving
small boy regard St. Valentine’s day not
as a time for exchanging affectionate mis
sives bound in laces, silk and celluloid,
but as the occasion for getting in a lick
at the weaknesses ,of their friends.
The comic valentines of this season are
aimed, for the most part, at the same
foibles and follies as those of last year.
One which is destined to prove popular
for sending to members os a college eleven
bears a very murderous looking animal
with bloody nose and weeping, eyes in the
act of making an ungraceful fall on the
gridiron.
FREE TO MILLIONS.
A Valuable Little Book Sent Free for the
Asking.
Medical books are not always interesting
reading, especially to people enjoying good
health, but as a matter of fact scarcely one
person in ten is perkfectly healthy, and
even with such sooner or later sickness
must come.
It is also a well established truth that
nine-tenths of all diseases originate with a
breaking down of the digestion, a weak
stomach weakens and impoverishes the
system, making it easy for disease to gain
a foothold.
Nobody need fear consumptioin, kidney
disease, liver trouble or a weak heart and
nervous system as long as the digestion is
good and the stomach able to assimilate
plenty of wholesome food.
Stomach weakness shows itself in a
score of ways and this IHtle book de

anyone can understand and apply.
