The Central railroad directors declared
* 4 per cent, dividend yesterday oil the
-earnings of the road for the past six
months, payable on and after December
-20.
There has been a good deal of specula
tion during the past week as to what the
dividend would be. The general impres-
nion was that it would not bo over 3* per
cent, at the most, mid those who havo
been watching events closely said that
■.they would be sati .fled with 3 per cent.
A GENERAL. SURPRISE.
The announcement of a 4 per cent, divi
dend was a surprise to everybody. The
earnings of the road sinco September 1
show an increase of fSK),000 over the cor
responding months last year. The market
was not affected by the announcement,
«nd the stock remained Arm.
General Alexander arrived here from
Atlanta yesterday morning. He was
warmly welcomed by his friends and spent
most of the day in conference with those
who are backing him in the fight for the
presidency.
THE STOCKHOLDERS LIST.
One of the objects of this visit just at
this timo is to look after the contest that
has been begun over the stockholder’s list.
A formal demand was made last week
on the part of a number of Savannah
stockholders, among them were Maj. A.
L. Hurtridge. Capt. Henry Blun, Dr. J. B.
Read and others, acting in Gen. Alexan
der’s interest, for a list of the stockholders
of the company. The object as stated was
that the petitioners might know who are
their co-partners in the property. The
matter was referred to the directors and
was acted upoii yestorday. They declined
to accede to the demand,stating that in the
opinion of tile board a majority of the
stockholders do not desire the list pub
lished.
ACTION OF THE DIRECTORS.
The petitioners were at once notified of
the action of the directors, and General
Alexander stated last night that the mat
ter had been placed in the hands of attor
neys and that legal proceedings will be in
stituted at once to compel the company
to open its books for inspection.
IN THE EIGHT TO STAY.
“1 am in the fight,’’ ho said, "and am in
to stay.”
General Alexander went on *o say that
the issue between himself and Captain
Raoul is not whether the management of
the road shall bo a Georgia management
or a New York management, but whether
or not it shall be managed in the interests
of the stockholders.
"My position,” he said, “is fully
explained in my letter which was pub
lished iu the Morning News last week. I
went into the fight reluctantly, at the solic
itation of my friends, but now that I am
In I propose to stay. The issuo involved is
one of management and policy. A major
ity of the stockholders understand my
position and the Issue remains for them to
decide.”
- GENERAL ALEXANDER’S FRIENDS.
General Alexander said that the 4 per
cent, dividend was a surprise to him, as it
doubtless was to many others. He be
lieves, though, that tho road can be made
to pay a much larger dividend still. Gen.
Alexander will remain in the city several
days. A conference of his friends was held
at the Screven House last night. Pat Cal
houn, Esq., Dr. West, of Augusta, and a
number of others were present, and the
situation was thoroughly discussed.
Free Trade.
The reduction of internal revenue and
•'.the taking off of rovenno slumps from Pro
prietary Medicines, no doubt iias largely
benefited tho consumers,as well as relieving
tho burden of home manufacturers. Es
pecially is this the case with Green’s Au
gust Flower and Boscheo’s German Syrup,
as the reduction of thirty-six cents per
dozen, bus been added to increase the size
of tho bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one-flfth more medicine in
tho 75 cents size. The August Flower for
Dyspepsia and Elver OomOlaint, and tho
German Syrup for Cough and Lung trou-
'bles, have perhaps, tho largest sale of any
medicines m tho world. The advantage of
Increased size of the bottles will he greatly
appreciated by tho sick and afflicted, in
every town unit village in civilized coun
tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain
/.he same size. oetV? d& w ly

“You look very much excited, dear,” ho
said, when she entered the parlor where
ho was waiting for her. “Well, 1 should

S umeut with mu.” And she beg in to Weep

my darling?” ho inquired, as he slid an arm
around her waist and endeavored to soothe
her; “what was the argument?” “Oh!

■only trifling with mo, and that you would
never pep the question; anil 1 told her she
■did you a great injustice, for I believed you

you wouldn’t, and I said you would, and
wo had it hot and heavy: dear George, you
will not let ma triumph over me will you?”
“Wh-hy certainly not," answered George.
“I knew it, my darling,” the dear girl ex

her how much mistaken she was!” And

openly. Democratic voters ware
prevented from voting the ticket and
the utmost disorder and violenco prevailed.
The ono white man upon whom we could
rely, and tho only white manager whom
we could get to servo was openly threat
ened when he went out of the polling
place for a moment, and three times dur
ing the day tho polls had to be closed be
cause of the row going on outside.
4> « « * „ *
“Wher. this one white manager was
compelled to go outside of the polling
place to try to stop the row, there was not
one white inan left in the polling place, all
the occupants being colored, and this
lasted for fifteen minutes. There is not
the slightest foundation for tho charge
that the box was thrown out because of
technical irregularities.
“The only other matter that came up be
fore the state board was one box bom
Orangeburg. Tho board did not consider
this, because no action had been taken by
Smalls before the county board as to that
poll, and consequently there was no appeal
to tho state board. But if Smalls be allow
ed this box and all others that he claims
to have been thrown out anywhore for
any cause excepting the two thrown out
by the state board, Col. Elliott would still
havo a majority.”

The statement wo have received says tho
statement we printed, that Smalls lias
been defeated by the official negligence of
democratic officials appointed by demo
cratic authority is not true. It adds:
“There were no contests made before
any other county boards” (except in Berke
ley and Beaufort), and no subject from any
other county was brought up before the
state board excepting one from Orange
burg. * * * Tue result of all these
contests on both aides from Berkeley and
Beaufort was the throwing out of only two
polls, and neither of thtpn on the ground
of neglect of democratic officials. The poll
in Berkeley known as the Brick Episcopal
Church was created in 1885. and it seems
that there was no provision rnaed by
law for registration for the precinct,
and consequently no book was provided
for it. The other box was the brick church
on 8t. Helena island, in Beaufort county.
This box was thrown out because of in
timidation of colored democratic voters,
bribery of voters and the interruption of
voting by violence. We made the protest
against the box because the colored dem
ocratic voters insisted that we should make
it and because we have made up our minds
not to stand any longer the violence and
outrages perpetrated every year at these
“land polls, aud because, moreover, it is
our duty to protect tho colored people
"whom we have induced to become demo
crats. We had good reasons to believe
that we would nearly divide the votes at
tWs poll, and yet it gave Smalls about
$60 majority. Men were threatened
San Francisco, December 2.—The hii
duty on opium makes the smuggling of it
profitable. Close watch is kept on all the
Bteamers from China and many devices are
tried to escape the revenue officers. A big
seizure was, made last Sunday of opium
that had been thrown overboard from
some vessol in pursuance of a preconcerted
plan. This gave the customs officers a
now cluo which led to a large seizure this
morning on the Rio Janeiro.
The steamer was due early, and the
revenue cutter Rush, having on board Sur
veyor Fogarty and a detail of customs in
spectors, went outside to intercept her be
fore sho crossed the bar. She was sighted
about twenty miles off Point lteies, and
tho Rush immediately headed for her.
When ten miles from the point the two
vessels were not more than a mile apart.
Deputy Fogarty and Inspectors Blethen,
Shipman and Breeze then left tho cutter
in a small boat with the intention of board
ing the steamer. They signalled for her
to Btop, but not the slightest attention was
paid to them, and they and the cutter were
soon loft astern. Chose was given and
when the shore limit was passed the order
to stop was obeyed and pretty soon
Deputy Fogarty and the inspectors went
aboard tho steamer.
“Take the fire-room first,” said Fogarty,
as they were going up tho ship’s ladder.
“These rascals saw us outside and that is
why they were so anxious to leave us be
hind.” With these words the officers hur
ried through the Chinese steerage and
dropped through tho manhole one after
another upon the pile of coal In the fire
men’s department. Soon packages of
opium were found worth nearly $4000.'
An ingenious plan for sinking and float
ing the bundles when they should be
thrown into the water was also found.
The packages wore made water-tight and
fastened to a metal can filled with salt.
These cans are about as large as powder
cans and the specific gravity of the whole
apparatus is so nicely adjusted that when
the salt is solid everything will stay below
water, but if the salt is dissolved the can
only will come to the surface. The opium
in the package stays below the water all
the time and it cannot be damaged, on ac
count of the waterproof covering.

I have had blood poison for ten years. I know I have token ono hundred bottles of
iodide of potash in that time, but it aid me no good. Last summer my face, neck, body
and limbs were covered with sores, and I could scarcely use my arms on account of rheu
matism In my shoulders. I took 8. S. 8., and it has done me more good than all other medi
cines I havo taken. My face, body and neck are perfectly clear and clean, and my rheu
matism is entirely gone. 1 weighed 116 pounds when I began the medicine, and I now weigh
161 pounds. My first bottle helped me greatly, and gave me an appetite like a strong man.
I would not be without S. 8. 8. for several times Its weight in gold.
