6 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. blood?

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 Will be Delivered at the Y. M. C. A. To morrow by M. W. P. Burdick. Mr. W. P. Burdick, one of the most noted temperance lecturers in the South, will address the meeting of the Yopng Men’s Christian Association tomorrow af ternoon.

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.
