Senator Clay has issued the
call for the state executive com
mittee to meet in Atlanta on the
17th of March.
The Nobles of the order of the
Mystic Shrine will meet in Dal
las, Tex. next June. Buffalo, N.
Y. will send a delegation to invite
them to Buffalo in 1899 and if
they, decide to accept the invita
tion the Buffalonians will con
struct a replica on Cayuga Island
and reproduce an exact counterpart
of Solomons Temple as built at
Jerusalem. They hope to have
the largest conclave of Masons the
world ever saw and the song will
be “ Put Me Off at Buffalo.”
Not long ago it was reported
that Mr. Cleveland had purchased
a farm near Trenton, N. J., and
there was some speculation as to
what his purpose was. It tran
spires that he bad no other pur
pose than to save the home of an
old man which had been sold by
the sheriff, and from which the
old man was about to be driven.
Mr. Cleveland had often been ac
corded the privilege of hunting
on the farm, and the old man had
shown b'm several little atten
tions. In return for these kind
nesses the ex-president redeemed
the property, and his old friend
will not have to move.
The big Niles Tool works at
Hamilton, O., are turning out 12-
inch Mortars for the government
as speedily as possible. Two nav
al attaches, assigned to the ord
nance department, have been at
Hamilton engaged in pushing for
ward the work and superintend
ing the construction of the huge
pieces of ordnance. Within the
past few days the work has been
greatly hastened to all appearance
The officials of the company deny
that any special effort has been
made to hasten the work since the
recent war scare. Despite these
denials, there is every indication
that the work has been hurried
and that the naval officers have
been especially busy of late.
Marion Brovt n aud Jim Thorn
ton, two prosperous farmers of El
bert * county, were fined heavy
fines by Judge Candler at Decatur
last week for horsewhipping a ne
gro woman.—Brown being the
man who applied the lash, was
fined $500, and Thornton, charg
ed with looking on and using ob
jectionable language in the pres
ence of females, was required to
pay $100.—The victim and her
employer, a white woman named
Miss Argo, told a horrible tale of
the cruelty which was visited on
the former. They said Brown
plied the horsewhip so vigorously
that the woman had to be soaked
in oil before her clothes could be
taken from her, and her body was
left in a frightful state.—Judge
Candler stated it was one of the
worst cases he ever saw in a court
house, and for that reason he gave
Brown a pretty heavy fine. The
men accused the negro woman of
having stolen a pistol from them.
In 1867 when the United States
bought Alaska from Russia, on
account of the fisheries, no one
had any idea that this country
would be the scene of the great
est gold fever that ever raged on
the face of the earth.
The only man who saw such a
future for Alaska at that time was
Cassius Marcellus Clay, who was
then Minister to Russia, appoint
ed by Abraham Lincoln. Clay
knew there was gold, there, and he
determined that the United States
should own Alaska.
He, after tireless effort, nego
tiated the sale of Alaska to the
United States for $7,000,000.
This sum would be a beggarly
pittance to pay for it now, as for
tunes of that size are taken from
its mountain sides every month.
But in those days it was undoubt
edly thought exorbitant. But
Cassius M. Clay negotiated the
sale.
Washington newspaper cor
respondents say the government
is making preparations for war in
both army and navy circles.
It would make mighty interest
ing reading for the Atlaota Con
stitution to reprint some of the
nice things it said about Spencer
Atkinson when he ran against
Turner.
Postmaster Baker, colored, at
Lake City, S. C., was murdered
by unknown white men early one
morning this week. His baby
was also killed. His wife, son
and three daughters were maimed
for life by rifle balls. Baker had
been threatened several times be
fore but heeded not the threats
and persisted in holding the office.
He was appointed by President
McKinley last August against the
protest of three congressman and
the people generally.
Congressman “Joe” Wheeler, of
Alabama, ex-major general of the
confederate army and commander
of the cavalry of the department
of Georgia, has reminded the pres
ident that his tender of services at
the front in the event of war with
Spaifi is on file at the war depart
ment. If the ex general should
be called upon and could get to
gether such a command as followed
him in the last days of the con
federacy, the country would have
in its service a “critter company”
which could live on less and do
more fightiDg and fight in more
ways than any other force which
could be put into the field. If the
waters separating Cuba from Flor
ida were not quite so wide and
deep, “Wheeler's Cavalry of 1S98”
would hardly need a great deal of
assistance in the way of transpor
tation to enable it to reach Cuba.
The command would get theie by
wading, swimming and the use of
a few stray batteaux and canoes
and when it had arrived something
would happen.

Most druggists sell you what
you ask for. Some will ask you
to take something which they
claim is “just as good.” Some
times a little more profit induces
them to do this. Dr. Bell’s Pine
Tar Honey is the best cough, cold
and grip cure. After you try it
once you will like it to well to ac
cept any substitute.
Dr. Bell’s Pine Tar Honey is
an important addition to the list
of the world’s most valuable med
icines. Harmless in its nature,
yet almost infallible in its action,
it is undoubtedly the most effica
cious means known today of cur
ing coughs, colds and kindred
diseases.
