Robbed the Grave,
A startling incident of which Mr. John
Oliver of Philadelphia was the subject, is
narrated by him as follows: “I was in a
most dreadful condition. My skin was al
most yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides, no ap
petite—gradually growing weaker day by
day. Three physicians had given me up.
Fortunately a friend advised trying “Elec
tric Bitters," and to my great joy and sur
prise the first bottle made a decided im
provement. I continued their use for three
weeks and am now a well man. I know
they saved my life and robbed the gra>v
of another victim.” No ons should fail io
try them. Only 50e per bottle at H. J. La
mar & Sons’ drug store.

BASEBALL TOMORROW/
Mercer Will Tackle Wake Forest on the Dia
mond.
Tomorrow Mercer University baseball
team will meet one of the strongest col
lege teams in the South, and the only team
that succeeded in beating Athens last year,
the Wake Forrest team, from North Car
olina.
This afternoon the Wake Forrest team
will play the Technological school in At
lanta, and the Mercer boys will watch the
outcome of the game with interest.
The principal reason for the struggle
that Mercer wjjl make to defeat the Wake
Forest team is that this is the-team that
has defeated their sworn rivals, the Uni
versity of Georgia team.
The Mercer boys have been working
hard to get in shape for the game, and will
play as they never played before.
Garrett will pitch the game, and he has
demonstrated that he is able to do his
part towards winning the game. The game
will be called at 3:30 and cars will be run
to the park.
Following is the line up:

OFFICERS RE-ELECTED.
Mr Joseph Richaidson Chosen Chairman of
Passenger Association.
The executive board of the Southeastern
Passenger Association had re-elected Mr.
Joseph Richai'4-son chairman by unanimous
vote.
Mr. W. W. Finley, second vice president
of the Southern railway, was elected chair
man of the executive board to succeed
President Harry Walters, of the Atlantic
Coast Line, who declined re-election.
Mr. Finley was commissioner of the old
Southern States Passenger Association,
and is 'thoroughly informed on the details
of association work. It will be remem
bered that he was offered the position of
vice president of the Southern while he
was commissioner, and he resigned that
place to go with the Southern at a hig'her
salary. Later he resigned from the South
ern and went back to the Great Northern
railroad, but 'the Southern, a few months
later, invited him to return at a still high
er salary, and he accepted the offer and
returned. He ranks with the ablest rail
way managers of America.
Mr. Richardson had no opposition for
re-election. His service with the present
association, as well as with its predeces
sor, has given thorough satisfaction to the
members, and he js the first commissioner
in years who has not had some antagon
ism for re-election. Mr. Richardson has
unusual ability in dispatching business,
,gnd he has great success in keeping down
dissensions between members of the asso
ciation.
A working contract was adopted yester
day identical wj£h the one formulated a
year ago in Atlanta and adopted later at
the Washington meeting.
Mr. Samuel Parrott was unanimously
re-elected chairman of the Southeastern
Freight Association, and Mr. McGill was
re-elected secretary. No changes of im
portance, if any >at all, were made in the
contract. Nothing was heard at the asso
ciation headquarters here yesterday in re
gard to the New York meeting.
Mr. Parrott was elected chairman last
May to succeed Col. H. S. Haines, who re
signed. Mr. Parrott has handled the as
sociation affairs to the satisfaction of all
the members, and it is conceded on all
sides that there has been less friction
among the roads during the past year than
at any previous time since the old pooling
days.
Mr. McGill has been with the associa
tion and its predecessors for years, and is
one of the best posted men on traffic in
the country.
MRS. BRANTLEY’S FNNERAL’

PRIVATE RIGHTS
IN WAR TIMES
What Writers on International
Law Have to Say on
the Subject.
CHANGES Os UTE W.
How Nineteenth Century Civiliza
tion Has Mollified the Honor
of a Conflict,
Just at this time the effect of a state
of war upon persons, native and alien;
upon contracts, property and trade, is
a matter of great interest.
The leading-authorities upon this sub
ject are Henry Wheaton, Thcodoe D.
Woolsly anad Francis Wharton, and
from the works of these masters of in
ternational law' the following information
is extracted, which it wil be well for all
to understand:
During a states of war neither bel
ligerants has a right to sue«in the courts
or- mt other to enforce a contract or col
lect a debt. The citizens of toe parties,
of course, come under these same* prohi
bitions. Contracts made with the enemy
cannot be foeed in the courts of either na
tion after the war is concluded. Interest
does not thie on an enemy’s contract dur
ing the continuance of a war, and i-t ap
ing treatiers are exbrsjmnjsi xzltakovvko
pears that the statute of limitations is sus
pended when hostilitites continue.
The . general rule as to the treatise is
certain treaties are exempted from this
that they are abrogated by war, but
rule. Privateering treaties are an ex
ample of such exemptions, and it is worth
while to note here that neither the United
States nor Spain is a signatory to the dec
laration of Paris of 1856.
The parties to the declaration, which
include all the principle powers of Eu
rope, agreed to abolish privateerin,g un
less the conditions were Blade that the
private property (not contrabrandj of all
seizure on the high seas. This country
took the ground that as loug as such
nations at all times be secure from
a small navy would be. at a great disad
vantage.
It is clear that this reasoning is sound,
and the nations who do not support large
navies are justified in calling merchant
vessels to act as privateers.
'An ememy’s property after the war is
declared may be seized wherever found,
except when it is located in the territory
of neptrals. It is not customary, however,
in modern times to seize the ih’operty of
noncombatants who are. subjects of the
enemy temportarily docile’d.
The usual practice is to allow all aliens,
citizens and subjects of the enemy in
cluded, to remain in the country of each
belligerants tduring a sate of war. They
may, however, be required to leave the
country.
Generally a certain period is fixed within
which aliens may depart with their prop
erty after war has been declared, and in
case they leave the country within this
specified time their property is safe from
confiscation during their passage to their
own or some other country.
Strictly speaking, belligerants have the
right, just as soon as war is declared,
to seize and condemn each other’s ships
and cargoes in their -respective ports as
“droits of- admiralty,” but here again
modern practices have established the
custom of giving notice of the time when
shipping must be removed.
This time was fixed at forty days at the
time of the Crimerian war. The ship of
one billerant, if it sails before ware i* de
clared, for one of the’ports of the other
belligerant is safe from seizure. If. how
ever, a ship sails to a neutral poM she
is liable to seizure.
'During hostilities all inhabitants, na
tive and alien, are compelled to discon
tinue ail intercourse with the inhabitants
of the country at war with the one in
in which they live. They must observe
that all business and trade between the
nations tat war must stop.
In case this rule is violated the mer
chandise sought to be sold ot exehanged
is liable to seizure.
■When living in a neptral nation, the
■ subjects of either belligerant may carry
on trade whenever opportunity permits,
and still be regarded as neutrals.
The property of the citizens of either
belligerant who live in the country of
the other belligerant is looked upon as a
part of the property of their adopted land,
and, being regarded as such, is liable to
the repriasals authorized by their native
country until such time as they declare
their national character.”
The rule iu regard to the appropriation
of private property for public use in
case of .war is that, when it is thus taken
the owner is to be fully compensate*! for
his loss. Under these conditions every
nation has a right to appropriate all prop
erty within its boundries.
The domicile of the owner usually de
termines the nationality of a ship, unless
the vessel sails un.-l .■ she flag and register
of a nation other than the one in which
the owner lives. The flag is not accepted
as final pr. :f ; ,f the rationality of a ship,
but her papers i. e., crew, list, shipping
articles am! re icstei must be accepted as
conclusive evidence of her nationality.
•Belligm-ants are not entitled to search
the war v<. si ■- of mutrals, and private
neutral ships m i.y be only searched “fpr
pci liable cause:” j’< rsons may not be
taken from a neutral .ship while at sea on
the groom! !!ri th ,v are citizens of the
nation claiming them for the purpose of
“impressment.”
The captuw of an enemy’s ship does not,
as is generally supposed convey any title
to the vessel or to the cargo. The capture
merely gives the prize crew an opportunity
to take the ship into port and secure her
condemnation by a competent court.
The goods of an enemy on a ship, a
neutral, may be seized, but the contra
brand of a neutral on an enemy’s ship
may not be taken. Contrabrand goods are
seized wherever found.

THE CROP BULLETIN.
For Week Ending Monday, April d, Given by
Weather Man.
“Atlanta, Ga., April 5, 1898.- The crop
season of 1898 opens under the most fa
. vorablc conditions, and at the date of
■issue of ihis, the fir. t weekly bulletin,
general farm work is several weeks in ad
vance of last year -and much ahead of nor
mal.
“Most of the corn land has been pre
pared, a large percentage of the crop has
been planted and much of it. is coming up
with good stands. Some corn has been
plowed for the first time.' A few farmers
have done .some .replanting. About the
usual acreage is being devoted to this
crop.
“As a.rule, gardens are doing well, but
need more rain, especially in the son!hern
counties. English peas are beginning to
bloom. Irish potatoes are up and doing
nicely in a few localities.
“Light frost occurred in the northern
half of the state on the 2d, but did little
damage. It is the universal opinion that
the fruit crop is safe so far. Peach trees
have been loaded with bloom. In the more
southern counties the bloom is dropping
and green fruit has formed.
“Preparations for cotton planting are
being pushed r apidly and much of the land
is ready for the seed. Some farmers have
commenced planting, and with favorable
weather conditions cotton planting - will
soon be general.
“Some pinders have been planted and
watermelon seed are up and doing well.
In 'a few localities some damage to this
crop was done by frosts on 'the 2M. The
I stand of rice is not very good on account
■of dry weather during the winter.
“With the exception of •temperature,
which has been rather low, and has slight
ly checked the advance of growing vege
tation, the weather conditions during the
past week have been most favorable.
Crops are already showing the beneficial
influence of the recent rains, and should
warm weather follow the rains a marked
improvement will result.
