A Demon
Contagious Blood Poison is cutting
down human beings by the thousand.
It is an awful afiliction. Doctors
have all sorts of theories about it

fail miserably when they try to cure
it. Every sufferer should know, be
fore he seeks professional help, that
he will b< given mercury and other
poisons.wh; hm ver

Oyspepsia
DID IT
Weakened One Man's Constitution
Until It Brought Him to
Death’s Door.
Mr. Juries S. Harrison, a well-known
and highly respected citizen of Cleve
land. (>., was for years a sufferer from
dyspepsia and general debility, and in
his weakened condition, resulting from
the above causes, he had the additional
ill-luck to fall a victim to malaria from
this complication of disorders. Mr.
Harrison's com! it ion was becoming very
aerious, when he commenced to take P.
P. I*., Lippman's Great Remedy. Its
effects were marked and immediate.
Read his letter to us. Its earnestness
is apparent:

suffering from dyspepsia and general
debility I beg to submit my testimonial
as to tlie efficacy of your I*. P. P., Lipp

cure for all the distressing complaints
from which I suffered.
My system was also full of Malarfa
and my condition was growing very
serious ; 1 had no appetite, was losing
strength and was completely broken
down in health, but now my health is
completely restored, ami I can catlike
a field laborer, without the slightest
fear of any serious results.
I take great pleasure in telling the
world that P. I*. P. did the grand work
of restoring me to my accustomed
health. Yours truly,
JAMES S. HARRISON,

CITY COUNCIL'S
BUSYJESSION
A Large Quantity of Business
Attended to in the Meet
ing Last Night.
PAVING SPECIFICATIONS.
And Bids Will be Advertised for
Other Matters Attended to by
the City Fathers.
Council meeting last night was not pro
ductive of much that would interest the
mass of property owners of the city. It
was strictly a business meeting with not a
riffle on the surface.
Aldermen Winship and Goodwyn were
the absentees tout they did not miss much
nor did they neglect the interest of their
constituents i ntheir different wards by
their absence.
The acceptance of the specifications for
paving In asphalt and brick which had
been drawn up by the city engineer and
an order to the city clerk to advertise for
bid.- which will be used for the information
of council in the future award of contracts
for paving, was a matter that will be of
interest to those who are working to se
cure one or the other of these materials
on the different streets to be paved.
Os course the details of these specifica
tions would not interest the general pub
lic. They are matters for the perusal of
the companies that want to do the work.
As there are .but few of the readers of The
N.ws who .will bid for this work it would
he a waste of valuable advertising space
to give these particulars. It may be safe
ly a.-umed that the city engineer has
looki d after the interest of the taxpayers
in drawing up the specifications, especially
as he has drawn upon himself the wrath
of sundry and divers contractors because
of his determination that no one shall get
tin .'best of the people who are paying for
the work.
The Board of Education asked that the
city put in curbing in front of the Orange
street school, and the matter was referred
to the committee on streets.
Macon Gun i tub.
Two minor petitions relating to frame
buildings and other matters of such light
importance were referred, and then the
Macon Gun Club asked for the use of the
baseball grounds at the park for one day
in each week for the purpose of shooting
at clay pigeons and otherwise wasting
ammunition that might come in useful
the Spanish. That they may be
allowed to spend their money in this way
a bit of red tape has to be used up, and
consequently their petition will be formal
ly considered by the committee on public
property.
H. (*. Gibson, who has sold goods to
some of the officials Os the city had a pe
tition to the finance committee against
certain officers, but the names were not
read out, nor would they be given if they
were, as it is not the purpose of The News
to assist the finance committee of The
News in the unpleasant duty which Mr.
Gibson ascribes to it, to be a collecting
agency. It is stated, however, that some
of the bills referred to in the petition have
whiskers on them, and it might be well
for the officers to walk up to the lick log
and pay thi rn if they received value for
the amount claimed.
Wires on Poles.
The ‘Macon, Dublin and Savannah Rail
road asked that it be allowed to run its
wires on poles through the lower -part of
th(> city instead of putting them under
ground. It is possible that the petition
will be granted unless indeed the Macon,
Dublin and Savannah Railroad intends to
runs its road through to Savannah at an
early date, in which event the business of
the road will be so big and its wires so
numerous that council will probably insist
that the wires be put underground.
Under a resolution, the advertisements
for the bids for the paving with brick will
be run in the newspapers having the good
fortune to secure the advertisements, for
fifteen days instead of ten in order to give
everyone an opportunity to see them and
put in their bids. It would be too bad if
anj of the asphalt companies missed spell
an opportunity.
Apparently no one wanted money for no
bills were read on the first reading.
Vouchers for $3,097.93 for the Georgia
Quincy Granite Company were read and
approved. This was for paving 'done, and
the company which has put down such exl
cellent paving will not be kept long out
of its money.
Macon Directory.
The Georgia Directory Company—Messrs
Jemison & Cherry, had a petition before
council at the last meeting asking for
the endorsement of their proposed direc
tory of IMacon to be issued this year and
the committee? having faith in the gentle
men who are to issue the directory said
that it was a publication deserving of sup
port and endorsed It.
Mr. T. C. Parker asked for a reduction
on the license of weighing machines and
was turned down. But not so with iMr.
A. T. Holt, who asked for a reduction of
his license as a real estate agent. His
petition evidently had some knotty points
in it. The city attorney will decide as to
whether the committee can unravel that
point and refuse the petition without
bringing a lawsuit on the city?
The Young Men’s Christian Association
will save considerable money because of
the report of the committee on finance,
which has agreed to knock off the taxes
on the Y. M. ‘C. A. building for the year
1898. The committee did ont say so, but
they evidently thought that the building
was so inadequate to the needs of the
Y. M. C. A. and that the people of IMacon
should really have given them a new
building so long ago, that it was not fa ; r
for the tax payers to be relived of the
extent of the amount of the taxes on the
present wretched home of ttifts great insti
tution.
The first quarterly report of the city
treasurer was submitted by the finance
committee, but it was not read. It will
be published later on.
Will Hang Sign Ont.
The Macon 'Carnival Association had
asked for permission to stretch a sign
across Cherry street from the Chamber of
Commerce to the other side, and the com
mittee said that they might do so provided
they tied the sign so securely that it
would not blow away. It is to be presum
ed that the association will comply with
this condition, or failing to do so they
might be thought frivolous.
The Public Library having asked for the
use of the park for the Fouth of July, the
petition was granted, and the committee
in granting it added that the library is an
institution held in the highest esteem by
the people of Macon. The action and the
rider will meet the approval of the whole
people.
The ordinance committee, of which Ai
derman Meyer is chairman reported on th
ordinanc of the Board of Health providing
that all persons who have been exposed
to smallpox shall be sent to the house of
detention. A penalty clase was attached
to this by the committee and in future all
prsons who do not allow themselves to be
taken to the house of detention wil be ta
ken to the recorder's court and there fined.
That is to say if anyone can be found in
the city of Macon who has been exposed
to smallpox.
Help Liquor Men.
Mayor Price broke the silence that fol
lowed the last action taken by council
toy suddenly announcing that times were
hard. It was stale news, but everyone
knew that the mayor was the last man to
man to croak without a purpose.
Os course, If any of the liquor dealers
preferred to pay the whole 1250 in .April I
instead of dividing it up in two install
men U, they were at liberty to do so, and I
this also met with the approval of the ]
aiderman.
Aiderman Taylor then offered u resolu
tion that from a purely humanitarian I
standpoint should have gone through with j
a rush. He asked that <a view of the fact !
that the city required a quarantee bond for j
the police officers and also required them ;
to pay for their uniforms the premiums \
on the bonds be paid out of the city treas- j
ury. Aiderman 'Morgan, who is the watch
dog of the treasury, and may be asleep
when other matters are discussed, woke
up at the mention of money and asked
that the petition be referred to the finance
committee.
That was all. A further call of the roll
of committees failed to elicit a favorable
response, and Aiderman Morgan, whose
prerogative it is to do so, moved "that we
adjourn."
And the motion not being debatable
council stood adjourned until next Tues
day evening at 6:30 o'clock p. m.
The mayor made a suggestion that in
asmuch as times were hard a little lenien
cy might be shown to the retail liquor
dealers in the matter of their next pay
ment. They had paid one-half of their li
cense as required by law, and as the next
payment of $250 came so soon afterwards,
he thought it would be something of a re
lief, as they paid the highest license of
any business, to authorize the city clerk
to collect $125 and the first of April and
$125 on the first of May. Alderman Wil
liaigs put the mayor r suggestion in the
shape of a motion and it was carried.
There was ratner a singular co-incidence
in connection with this anion. It seems
that on yesterday a petition to make the
remaining half of the license in two pay
ments was signed by all the dealers and to
Alderman Huthnanee to place in council
and it was just about to be handed to the
clerk to be read when the mayor intro
duced the subject, being in blissful igno
rance of such petition, and was not made
acquainted with the fact that there was
one until after the meeting was over.
Discovered by a Woiuan.
Another great discovery has been made
and that, too, by a lady in this country.
"Disease fastened its clutches upon her
and for seven years he withstood its se
verest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and her death seemed immi
nent. For three months she coughed in
cessantly and could not sleep. She finally
discovered away to recovery by purchas
ing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking the first dose that she
slept all night and with two bottles has
been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz.” Thus writes Mr. W. C.
Harninick & Do., of Shelby, N. C. Trial
bottles free at H. J. Lamar & Sous’ drug
store. Regular size 50c and sl. Every
bottle guaranteed.
Rev. E. Edwards, pasltor of the English
Baptist church at Minersville, Pa., when
suffering with rheumatism, was advised to
try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. He says:
"A few applications of this linament
proved of great service to me. It sub
dued the inflammation and relieved the
pain. Should any sufferer profit by giving
Pain Balm a trial it wil please me.” For

INDEPENDENT ARMY.
Riflemen Will be 100,000 Strong in Penn
sylvania.
Pittsburg, Pa., .March 23. —War scares
and fighting rumors are responsible for a
movement which will have an independent
aimy of 100,000 men in fighting order in
the state of Pennsylvania within six
months. They will be a part of the Amer
ican Rifles, a patriotic military organiza
tion which is strong in the West, and
which is now devoting every possible mo
ment to organization and extension.
Major Robert Griffith, of Chicago, is in
(Pittsburg with orders 'from headquarters
to organize the state of Pennsylvania. He
has established the center of operation in
Pittsburg, and after completing his dutiees
here will move eastward slowly, mustering
in companies and regiments. Three com
panies have 'been organized here with full
complements of men.
Major Griffin -figures that Pennslyvania
erty, and it was believed by many that he
army. The war spirit in Pittsburg is in
tense, he says, and the men were eager to
be enlisted. Applications have been pour
ing in on him from every part of the state.

JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES
Will Lecture at Mercer Friday Night on the
“Twentieth Century Woman. 1 ’
The arrangements for Hon. John Tem
ple Graves' great lecture Friday night, the
25th instant, at Wesleyan, are about com
pleted, and the indications naw jxiint W
this as .the greatest event of the seasoa.
The lecture is given under the auspices es
Wesleyan and Mercer jointly, and it has
been decided to put k in the reach of ali
by charging only 50 cents admission, with
out any reserved seats.
That Mr. Graves will be greeted by a
crowded house goes without saying. No
man on the American platform is more
popular than he and the new lecture on
’'The Twentieth Century Woman.” which
he gives here, is said to his masterpiece.
With it Mr. Graves has scored a success
in the North and West this season, which
has been phenomenal.
The Phlladelphi (Pa.) Dispatch says of
’’Perhaps the most beautiful lecture ever
heard in Pittsburg and as strong and logi
cal as it was beautiful." t
The Cleveland (O.) Leader:
‘‘The most perfect lecture on the plat
form of today. Faultless in diction, bril
liant in imagenary, unanswerable in ar
gument, punctuated and pervaded with
delicate and delicious humor, and deliver
ed with a grace that is simply exquisite.”
The advance sale of tickets has begun,
and they are selling rapidly.
GOING TO THE FRONT.
The Troops From Atlanta Created Quite a
Stir.
GOING TO THE FRONT
A large crowd assembled at the Union
depot last night to see the United States
soldiers from Fort McPherson, in Atlanta
pass through going to Florida.
The soldiers reached Macon on a special
train at 9 o’clock, and were backed into
the depot. There were six oars in the
train when it arrived at Macon. Superin
tendent Epperson’s private oar, one sleep
ing car for officers, two passenger coaches
and two baggage coaches.
Captain S. W. Miller was in charge.
First Lieutenant Butt and Second Lieu
tenant Banford were with the charge.
There were sixty-two men in all, three
officers and fifty-nine privates.
There were only three ladies with the
troops, one was Car tain Miller’s wife, and
the other two were wives of the soldiers.
All the necessary equipment for infantry
troops were carried along, such as tents,
provisions, bedding, etc. Captain Miller
said he had provisions enough to last for
about six days, but that more would be
purchased as they were needed, as they
could be secured as easily and as cheap in
Florida, as they could be shipped. There
were no horses nor heavy arms with the
company. Captain Miller said that he did
not know how long they would stay at St.
Augustine, and did not fear that the ser
vices of his company would be needed in
active warfare any time soon.
Nene of the men except the officers left
the train at Macon. Mrs. Miller got off
and with her husband drank a cup of cof
fee. Mrs. Miller said that she was glad
that she was going near the seat of war
and that she thought it was jolly to have
some excitement further that the routine
at the barracks in Atlanta.
After changing engines here the train
was carried on to Albany where it will be
turned over to the Plant system and car
ried to St. Augustine.

T take this method of informing my
friends and the public generally that I
have disposed o .f m y office fixtures, prac

T. C. MITCHELL.
English’s “T” Ad.
Tall, turbulent, tipsy Timothy Tittle
thwaite, the third tired, thirsty Thespian,
“tie” tourist, trudgingly traveling through
the thickly thronged, tortuous thorough
fare toward Tunistown. Tautologically
talking theoretical, theological theses to
tedious, techy, testy Theodore Taylor, try
ing to talk trade topics to taciturn, tru
culent Thomas Trent, the tailor. Tarrying
to the tavern to treat Thomas to toddy.
Timothy toted traffic trifles, trinkets to
trade to tattling, tantalizing, teasing,
tasty, trim Theresa Thigpen, ’’the Titian
tressed” teacher. Trading to Theresa
toys, tops, tins, tubs, trivets, testaments,
thread, thimble, treacle, tobacco, tacks,
tracts, tomatoes, turnips, tow, tape, tar,
towels. Theresa trading to Timothy tooth
some tarts, tansy tea, turpentine, tallow,
trussed turkeys, turtles, terrapins, tad
poles, truffles, togs, tags, traps, trays,tripe,
tapioca. This tedious tale to terminate;
thus thought the three travelers. This the
thirtieth time that this terse truism.
’’English Paint stops leaks, yes it do,”
has been seen by us. It must be so.
IT IS SO.
English Paint does stop leaks —‘‘YES,
IT DO.
English Eaint has one fault, viz:
HARVEY ENGLISH, Albany, Ga.
It won't last forever, but on every roof
that I paint I give a written guarantee
that “if the above named roof leaks or
needs painting at any time within ten
years from date I am to do the work
needed without any expense to the owner
of building.
English Paint —'English Guarantee—is
good.
My price is 50c a square of 100 feet.
I have pleased every one of my custom
ers—l can please you. Save your work for
me. I will be in Macon as soon as I
complete some work now under way in
Albany. I have contracted to paint the
Alliance warehouse. This makes the fifth
cotton warehouse in Albany that I have
naway one acre and Alliance one-half acre.
Cook’s half acre; Hall’s half acre; Gan
naway one acre, and Alliance one acre.
I don’t want you to think that 1 refuse to
paint small roofs. I paint all sizes, sorts
and conditions. I once upon a time paint
ed a roof for 25c and waited sixty
days for my pay. I don't paint shingle
roofs, but I do paint gutters, valleys, etc.
As I will be very busy on my arrival in
Macon you will please send your address
on a postal to me in Albany and I will
call and sec you about your roof. I can fix
it so that it won’t leak and it will stay
fixed.
