Members Will be Asked to Make h.dividval

A meeting of the Macon Bicycle Club
will be held tonight. The meeting will be
held tonight for the purpose of seeing how
much each member of the club will give

make up the ’difference.
The club has decided not to wait upon
Senator Bacon and has selected another
place for the building of the track. The
land has been secured from Mr. Huff, out
near the barrel factory in Vineville, and
it is a splendid place for a track. The
street car companies will assist in build

It is earnestly requested that all of the

FATHER AND SON BURNED.
The Boy Wax Found Dead in the Burning
Building.
Greenville, S. C., April 11—The home of
Jacob Davis, at Pelzer, S. C., was totally
destroyed by fire Saturday night, and his
son, William Franklin Davis, 14 years old,
perished in the burning building. The
blaze was discovered before midnight and
it was thought that the inmates had ample
time to escape. The young man who was
sleeping with William Davis aroused his
bedfellow, told him of his danger and re
ceived an intelligent answer.
He then left the house thinking his
young companion would follow shortly,
but Davis was missed and soon cries from
within the flaming structure told of his
perilous situation.
Jacob Davis endeavored to enter the
house to save his son, but was driven tjack
by the smoke and flames. A second heroic
effort was successful, but the father found
his son lying dead at the foot of the bed.
The flames and -smoke had done their
work. Davis dragged his son’s body out of
reach of the fire but was himself badly
burned on the face and his nose is in a
horrible condition. The elder Davis is a
butcher in business at Pelzer. The son,
William, with the others of the family,
worked in one of the cotton mills. The
house was owned by the Pelzer corporar
tion.
CANDLER IN PIKE.
An Enthusiastic Crowd Greets Him at Zebu
lon,
Zebulon, April 12.—Colonel Allan D.
Candler addressed an- enthusiastic crowd
of Pike county voters in the court house
here yesterday. He referred to the confer
ence held by Senator Berner and Judge
Atkinson in the editorial rooms of hte
Macon Telegraph. He said: "I don’t know
the result of that conference, but it is an
additional evidence of the capital under
standing that exists between them. It was
held, however, in the office of a paper
which is constantly assailing the Demo
cratic platform.” He mentioned, the fact
that none of the gold papers in the state
are supporting him and that most of them
have a kind word for Berner. He spoke of
this as a singnificant fact an'd said also
that no one had ever heard Berner say
that he was in favor of the free coinage
of silver at the present legal ratio. Col.
Candler’s speech was well delivered and
created much enthusiasm among his sup
porters. It is safe to predict thj.it this
county will give him a handsome ma
jority.

poured tho milk out, looked at it critically,
smelled it with an expression of deep con

was perfectly good. He said he was aware
that it was good, but he wanted milk like
he had had before The cock looked up
with a happy smile and said, “That was
yellow milk.”
“Yes,” answered the official, “it was.”
“All right/’ remarked the cook in re

A little girl of 0. whose home is in the

fashionable woman recently. The woman
had gone over to teach in the mission sew

“ Miss, ” and rhe teaebra-didn’t like this,
as she had married rather late in life.
That's just one igore-uf the sex’s little

child wiX’K after wack, telling her every
time that she was “Mistress” and not
“Miss,’ but all to no purpose. Finally
she got exasperated and said to the child:
“V.hy won t you believe I'm married?
Why do you insist upon calling me‘Miss?’
Now, toll me why you won’t believe I’m
married. ”
Tho child hung her head and was si
lent, but the teacher persisted, and finally
the little girl raised her Lug eyes and said:
“Well, teacher, I can’t believe you are
married because you Faugh so much.”
“From that remark,” said the teacher
in repeating it to some friends, “I think
that* all married mankind and woman
kind might draw a lesson, but they won’t.

THE HIGH SCHOOL FACE.
An Ind;anapoli« Doctor Discovers a New
Physiognomical Affliction.
Copious comment has been mails on
various types of faces, and particularly on
the bicycle face. This article is about the
high school face.
The high school face is the discovery ol
a prominent physician of the city who is
too modest to permit his name to he used.
That there is such a face he is very posi
tive. “It is not a work of the imagina
tion,” be said yesterday, “nor is it a
chimera. The high school*face is a stern
reality. ”
“What are its symptoms or characteris
tics, doctor'?” be was asked.
“The high school face,” replied the doc
tor, “is to be found in every schoolroom.
What is it? It is a drawn, anxious, in
tense, sometimes an alarmed expression.
The forehead is contracted into wrinkles,
the. lips twitch, the eyes stare or have a
strained look, and a pallor is spread over
the countenance.”
The doctor enlarged on this interesting
diagnosis and mentioned a few cases that
had come under his own observation.
Proceeding, he said: .
“The cause of the highschool face is the
modern effort, so fiercely put forth, to jam
all minds and all temperaments into the
same pigeonholes in the same timo—that
is to say, modern teaching scorns to have
for its first principle the molding of all
minds in the same mold. We might, just
as well try to make all the children wear
tho same sized shoes. In addition to this'
each teacher of the different branches
thinks bis or her branch the most impor
tant, and crowds and pushes and worries
those pupils who, although not dull, do
not take readily to that particular branch.
“Tho pupil who, through natural apti
tude, carries mathematics or physics with
interest and ease, may bo slow in litera
ture and language; hut no matter —the
culprit must make grades. ‘Wo must hurry
on and got over the prescribed course,’
says the teacher, and this must bo done
though a small percentage of the pupils
fall by the wayside
“No profession calls for more patience
or forbearance than that of teaching,”
continued the doctor. “I might liken
tdtiehing to horsodriving. Some men can
drive a team of spirited horses so that they
will go along willingly and easily for
great distances. Other mon will wear the
team out in short order. It's tho nag
ging, the pulling and the. harassing that
do it. So with some pupils of highly
nervous temperament—they must be
handled properly ortho high school face is
inevitable. On tho other hand, there are
some pupils who, like some horses, cannot
be made nervous by the most unskillful
handling. Sanitariums are making con
siderable ado about unsanitary lighting,
heating and ventilating, bur is it not pos
sible that just as much berm conics from
‘hurry up’ teaching as from those other
causes? To sum up, the high school taco
is tho result of insincere teachers—teach
ers who lack gentleness, patience and
gentility.”—lndianapolis Journal.
Washington Compared to Hannibal.
With a beaten and defeated ar my.operat
ing against overwhelming odds he-had in
flicted upon the enemy two severe defeats.
No greater feat can be performed in war
than this. That which puts Hannibal at
tho head of all great commanders was that
he won his astonishing victories under the
same general conditions. There was one
great military genius in Eurtipe when
Washington was fighting this short cam
paign in Now Jersey—Frederick of Prus
sia. Looking over the accounts of the
Trenton and Princeton battles,ho is report
ed to have said it was the greatest cam
paign of the century. The small numbers
engaged did not blind the victor of Hoes
bach and Leuthen. He did not mean that
the campaign was great from tho number
of men involved or tho territory conquer
ed, but great in its conception and as an
illustration of the highest skill in the art
of war under the most adverse conditions.

L,if« of a Five Engine.
The life of a fire engine in this city in
its first use is ten years. It is then rebuilt
and is good, cither in regular service or as
a reserve engine, for ten years more. Alt
er 20 years of service the old engine is sold
at auction.
It may be bought by another city or
town for use as a fireengine, but this hap
pens vcry*Tarely. The engines arc heavy,
and they must be drawn by horses, so
they’are not adapted fur use in smaller
cities. The old engine is oftener bought
by a contractor, for use, for instance, in
pumping out cellars. In such service a
steam pressure of 50 pounds might be
ample for the work, while in file service a
pressure of 150 pounds might be required.
In such work as this the old engine might
last three or four years more.
Sometimes the discarded fire department
engine is bought by a junk dealer, who
breaks it up for tho metals it contains,
and this is what they all come to at last.

A Story From the Vatican.
Prince Massimo, who represents the old
est princely family in Romo, tracing his
descent from the Caesars, was on his way
in his state carriage to pay. his respects
and offer his congratulations to the pope
on tho occasion of one of several papal an
niversaries which have taken place this
year when the officer in charge of the
guard at the castle of San Angelo, seeing
the gilded chariot lumbering across tho
bridge, thought it was the king, and, call
ing out his men, the guard presented arms
as Prince Massimo, who is one of the
pope’s stanchest supporters, drove past.
This piquant mistake bad already reached
the pope’s ears when the prince entered
the audience chamber, and Leo XIII was
much amused and joked "the prince on his
being mistaken for the king. “But I,
too, have the blood of the house of Savoy
in my veins,” said Prince Massimo.
“And very good blood, too,” answered the
pope.—London Morning Post.
Another Husband In Trouble.
The wife of an employee of the Phila
delphia postofflcc recently got a set of four
“store teeth,” which she usually placed on
the bureau in tho bedroom before retiring
for the night. One morning she arose
early and went to prepare breakfast.
Then her husband arose, he saw the teeth
n the bureau. To accommodate his wife
ne put them in his trousers pocket, in
tending to give them to her when he went
down stairs. Instead he forgot all about
them and carried them off. About three
hours later his wife rushed into the post
office and between sobs exclaimed: “I’ve
swallowed my teeth. What shall I do? I
know I’ll die,” and so on. The man fish
ed the missing teeth from his pocket, when
his wife’s tears turned to indignation, and
the setting out she gave her poorer half
will long be remembered by the office
clerks.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, Saves
a Man from Becoming a Cripple.
Mr. Asa Ammons, a well-known
citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was
afflicted by a terrible ulcer. Medical
skill seemed unavailing in stopping the
ravages of the terrible disease. The
leg was swollen and intensely painful,
as the ulcer had eaten its way down
to the very bone. All medicines and
treatments having failed to effect a
cure, trie doctors said the leg nitwit
come off. Just when it seemed that
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P.,
Lippman s Great Remedy, and the re
sult was wonderful.
P. P. P. SAVZS HIS LEG.
“ Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1895.
Two years ago I had tire worst ulcer
on jny leg I ever sav.. It had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharger! a
most offensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. /it
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot eastile
soap suds. It began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-day
a sound and useful leg.
“ I think P. P. P., Lippman's Great
Remedy, is all a man cou'd ask for as
a blood purifier, as I have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poL
soning in a rteinarkably short time.
• “ASA AMMONS.”
TERRIBLE BL3OD POISON.
The body covered with sores—two
bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and
permanent cure. This is only one cf
many thousand similar cases.
Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P.
That smothered feeling at night, that
heavy feeling in the day—can and
should be removed ; P. P. P. will do it
if you only give it a chance.
Indigestion and constipation go hand
in hand. Headaches and total loss of
appetite are the results. Regulate
yourself and tone up your stomach
with P. I’. P.
