HOW IS THIS FOR HIGH !
Listen to my new scheme of buying watches
for thirty-six members of a club. Each man just
as soon as he draws a watch w 11 drop out, until
all members will have watches of various grades.
'I his club will have four grades of watches, vary
ing from $12.50 to $10.00, except the last man will
draw a watch worth $50.00- If you don’t under
stand my new scheme, just drop into my $1.00 a
week store, and I will give you the inside track
on the whole busiaess. emember every mem
ber will get a watch, and no one member will be
responible for anv other member, for just as
soon as one member draws a watch he drops out,
and he will not pay any more money to the club.
Here is the way all members will draw their
First—-Nine members will draw a watch each
weak worth $12.50 cash.
Second—Nine members will draw a watch
worth $21.00,
Third—Nine memb ra will draw a watch worth
$30.f.0.
Fourth—Eight members will draw a watch
worth $40 00.
The .ast member will draw a watch wortn
$ )0.C0, so come up and join the club on my new
plan.
No mortgage, no security, and every man re
sponsible for himself and no other.

RIVER NEWS.
THE ROBERTS CASES.
Mayor Grime* Determined to Get at the
Bottom of the Charges.
The cases against Mr. E. F. Roberts,
charged with selling whisky on Sunday,
were called again in the mayor’s court yes
terday morning.
One witness was put on the stand. Dur
ing the examination of the witness Mayor
Grimes asked him if he did not make cer
tain statements to him in his office which
conflicted with his sworn testimony. The
witness replied in effect that there was a
difference between talking and swearing.
Mr. Worrill, the defendant’s attorney,
stated that owing to the turn the examina
tion had taken, he thought the mayor was
disqualified from trying the cases.
Mayor Grimes said he would send for
Mayor pro tern. Brannon, which he did.
Pending the arrival of Judge Brannon,
however, it was agreed to allow the cases
to go over until this morning.
It was reported yesterday that the mayor
had instructed Acting Chief of Police
Pickett to swear out a warrant for Mr.
Roberts, but, if such instructions were
given, it is likely that they were counter
manded after the continuation of the
cases.
Some rather startling developments are
expected at the trial this morniDg. Mayor
Grimes seems determined to sift the
charges to the bottom.

ALSTON’S TRIAL.
Stones as Large Partridge Eggs Fall While
the Sun is Shining.
A heavy hail storm visited the city yes
terday afternoon. Some of the hail stones
were as large as partridge eggs. The hail
was accompanied by a heavy wind, which
came from the northeast. The storm did
not last more than fifteen minutes, and
strange to say the sun was shining bright
ly most of the time. A number of trees
were blown down in various parts of
the city, among them the two mulberry
tiees near the lower wagon bridge. The
limbs of one of the trees struck the wife of
Bridge Keeper Allen and knocked her to
the ground. She escaped with slight in
juries, however.
The tin roof of the old Western depot
was blown off during the storm, and
a number of new buildings in
course of erection was damaged to some
extent. The new building for the Rhodes
Furniture Company sustained damages to
the extent of about $100. The rain and
hail was blown in through the open front
and leaked through the different floors,
damaging the ceilings that were just fresh
ly plastered.
The office of the Georgia Steam and Gas
Pipe Company suffered to some extent.
The wind blew in through the transom
over the door and forced the air tight par
tition of the gas fixtures room about four
inches out of plumb.
The brick work around the smoke stack
at Dudley & Son’s planing mill was blown
down.
The hail played havoc with the English
sparrows, and many of them were so badly
stunned that they were afterwards cap
tured by the small boys.
It was reported that all of the unsightly
old cellar doors and “shackley” signs on
Broad street were blown away, but, unfor
tunately, this turned out to be untrue.
Ordinary Cannot Issue License Where the
Woman Is Domiciled in Another County.
Mrs. Hulda Shaver called at the ordi
nary’s office yesterday afternoon and noti
fied him not to issue a marriage license to
her son, Morgan Shaver, and Miss Willie
Reddick. Mrs. Shaver stated that both
parties were under age and lived in Ala
bama. Judge Pou informed Mrs. Shaver
that he would not issue the license, and
read section 1706 of the code, which says:
“It shall be the duty of the ordinary and
his deputy to inquire as to the ages of all
persons for whom marriage licenses are
asked, and if there be any ground of sus
picion that the female is a minor under
the age of eighteen, such ordinary and his
deputy shall refuse to grant the license
until the written consent of thepareut or
guardiaD, if any, controlling such minor
shall be produced and filed in his office;
and any such ordinary who, by himself or
deputy, shall knowingly grant such license
without such consent, or without proper
precaution, in inquiring as to the fact of
minority, or for the marriage of a female
to his knowledge domiciled in another
county, shall forfeit the sum of $500 for
every such act, to be recovered at the suit
ot the clerk of the superior court and
added to the educational fund of the
county.”
This section gives rise to another ques
tion. Can the ordinary issue a marriage
license to parties when the woman is
domiciled in another state? The law says
distinctly that he cannot issne a license
when the woman is domiciled in another
county in this state, but is a question
whether this law applies to counties in
another state. If it does, it will be hard
on runaway couples from Alabama, who
frequently come to Columbus to get the
nuptial knot tied.
Testimony in )the Case—The! Knife that
Killed Alex. Wilson.
Decatur, August 22.—The Highland
laddies, from “bonnie Scotland far away,”
occupied the attention of the judge, the
jury and the lawyers in the DeKalo supe
rior court all day yesterday and this
morning. Their rich brogue tinged with
sadness as they told of the death of their
comrade “Arlick Wilson,” fell with pleas
ing effect upon American ears.
Solicitor Candler and his two associate
lawyers are working this case with a great
deal of skill, which is being met with
equal skill by the defense.
As soon as John Wilson, who was on
the stand yesterday afternoon, had con
cluded his testimony, James Mitchell,
called by his companions Jamie, was put
upon the stand. He was a fiery looking
Scotch youth and spoke very freely of the
tragedy, he being an eye witness.
He described the meeting in the road,
and when asked to give some of the “cuss”
words replied, “I dinna ken wat they said.
I neeard them a bussing each ither, but I
was intent on ganging on down the road
to Mr. MeGuffee’s to saranade himself an’
Miss MeGuffee.”
Continuing he said:
“Aftre a bit Arlick Wilson and the ither
mon they clinchet and fill to the groon
thegither. Alston he getted up, but Arlick
lay still. I cracked amartch ond by the
flickerin light I see the biood roocing
adown his face and neck. Johnnie Da
vidson rooued for the doctor, ond we
picket puir Arlick up ond carrit him home
where he died the next morning by six of
clock.”
Mitchell testified that he had found the
hammer handle close to where the fight
occurred. It was covered with blood, but
he had not seen it since turning it over to
the coroner.
Alexander Seay testified that he was
with Wilson, and that all of them were
drinking some, but none of them were
drank.
Charlie Mackie’s testimony was about
the same as that of others.
“How came you ail together all that day
and night?” asked Colonel Candler.
“We wair thegither, sir, because we
lived close thegither and worked thegither
in the same quarries in the land of Scot
land, and we have stuck thegither Ivor
since we came across the water.”
James Murray, the man who was
wounded with the whisky bottle, gave a
graphic description that was often amus
ing, of the manner In which he was hit.
He was one of Mr. Scrogie’a boarders,
and on the Fourth of July the boys were
having a little fun. Donald McGinnis,
with his accordion, was there, besides
several other noted local musicians, and
the boys danced together until McGinnis
started home.
Just then Alston, Pease, Leddy and two
other men came up, Alston taking his seat
on the table.
He then grew interesting and said: “We
had a bortle with a little rhye in it, ond
Alston ond all the ither boys drank some.
There wair a noomber of hammer handies
in the room, ond Jame Scrogie’s knife that
was fouDd by puir Arlick Wilson wair in
the room. We used it to clean out our
pipes. There wair two guns in the room.
Davie Arlen he askit Alston to got off the
table. This made Alston mad, and he
blew the lamp out and slapped it off the
table. He grabbit for the gun in the cor
ner just as Davie lit the lamp, but Davie
grabbit for him. Alston then grabbit the
bortle, but I caught it out of his hand and
Pease caught it from my hand. Alston
tried to get the gun again, but I caught
him and wair warking him out of the ’igh
window on the porch, whin some one hit
me with the bortlo and I fell back in the
room.”
“Where were you wounded?” asked
Colonel Candler.
‘Right here, sir,” placing his hand to
the back of his head.
“Did it leave a scar?”
“Indeed, sir, I dinna ken, for I have
niver seen the wound meseilf.”
Donald McGinnis then testified about
the same. He said after Alston and his
friends came to the house, they all had a
shuffle or two, a song or two and a drink
or two. He identified the knife as belong
ing to Scrogie, and said it was lying on the
table in the room. Young Scrogie prized
it very highly, as he had brought it from
the old country with him.
THE NEW WAR VESSELS.
Th* Alliance I’oet.
The Alliancemen at Macon hive a poet. One
of them is guilty of this;
Mary had a little lamb,
Its name was little Jut=,
A foreign cation was its dam
And it was awful cute.
One year she earned prices high
By c aking quite a corner.
She*put both thumbs into a p:e
Like little Jacky Horner.
It male the combine laugh and shout
To see the farmers kick,
For never was there such a rout—
It was both short and quick.
But when the farmer turned Jute oat
There was a woeful bleat:
A little cotton ba .ging ram
Butt Jnty off his feet.
jjjE-.Th a trust,said little wooly Jute,
To be my friend was said;
Alas, for me, there’s no dispute
The trust has killed me dead!

offered to build the three 2000
ton vessels for $7S0,000 each, if allowed
six months beyond the advertised term of
two years within which to complete the
work. Cramp & Son, of Philadelphia,
wanted $875,000 each for the smaller and
$1,225,000 each for the larger vessels.
As these bids are in exoess of the maxi
mum amount authorized to paid by con
gress, they will have to be rejected and a
readvertisement made. Naval officers say
that the appropriation is insufficient, and
that they do not think the government
can build the vessels at the prices named,
or that private persons would be warrant
ed in taking the work at the maximum
amounts allowed by congress.

(Striking Cigannakers.
Jacksonville, Fla., August 22.—The
cigarmakers’ strike still continues. The
men are firm. A telegram from Havana
was read at the meeting to-day, express
ing sympathy with the strikers and offer
ing them aid. The strikers allege that the
factory has pressing orders ahead for
350,000 cigars, and that the manager must
yield soon or lose the fall business. Mem
bers of the firm say the strike will proba
bly result in “weeding out” the malcon
tents and agitators, and that the better
element will return to work in a few days.
The strikers number over 400. They are,
as a general thing, orderly.

that we believe to be the best thing on the mar
ket. Try a bottle, 3: and 50 cents each.

Wooldridge's Wonderful Cure,

Of Health and Evicts
The Enemy.
Wooldridge’s Wonderful’ Cure is
a happy combination of elemen
tary principals, adapted to antidote
certain specific poitons, and to al-
lign itself with the vital forces to
restore natural energy. Its action
is upon the stomach, the intestines,
the liver, on all the glands and all
the other organs that have part in
making and purifying the blood.
Antidote, nutraliza and expel
poison, and make pure blood and
you are not far from health. This
is what Wooldridge's Wonderful
Cure does, and why it cures the
class of diseases that the certifi
cates show it has done.
Mrs. A. C. McGeliee.
My wife has been afflicted for six years with
a most dreadful blood po son of some kind, called
salt rheum by eminent physicians. During this
period she was treated by several specialists.
Has taken quantities of all the b ood purifiers on
the market, without realizing any special benefit.
She is now using Wooldridge’s Wonderful Cure,
& few bottbs of which ha3 made a complete cure.
I unhesitatingly recommend it as the best blood
purifier ever discovered. Yours truly,
A. C. McGehee.

I beg to announce that I have inaugurated the Club System of supplying a R K1,
GOI*I> STEM WINDER WATCH payable in an easy way, and in answer to n
inquiries relative to the working of this plan I wish to submit thefollowing points for you
eration and perusal:
As soon as the number of subscribers amounts to, say sixty, the price of the watch to
chased, each subscriber will be notified that the list is closed: and after each member of
has made his first payment, it will be decided by lot who shall get the first watch. Thus
tributions will take place week after week until all members shall be in the possession
watches. After a member has received a watch, he will have to keep on paying his dollar ;
the same as the other members until the watch is paid for ($69.00.', and on receiving his w
has to give approved security for the future regular payments. Incase of the death of on
members, we are willing to refund the money paid in to the legal heirs or administrators;
case a member should wish to withdraw, he can either find a substitute or take out other n
dise to the amount of his share paid in. If a party wants to pay more than $1.00 per week—
or $3.00—he can do so, and thereby increase the probability of coming sooner in possess; >:
