FORSYTH, MONROE COUNTY, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING. JANUARY 15, 1889.
NEW RULES FOR THE RAIL¬
WAY MAIL SERVICE..
Washington, Jan. 6.—Tiie Civil
ServiceCommission has prepared and
the President has approved a series
of rules which are to govern admis
sion to, and changes in the railway
mail service.
Rule one, extends these rules to all
persons in the railway mail service,
except the General Superintendent
and his assistant, classified under the
act of January 16, 1883.
Rule, two, provides that clerk ad
missions for admission to the service
shall include not more than the fol
lowing subjects: Orthography, read
ing addresses, copying, penmanship,
arithmetic (fundamental rules, frac¬
tions and percentage), letter writing
and geography of the United States,
and especially of the state or railway
mail division in which the applicant
resides, ami its railway system,
Limitations for examination are
^eighteen and thirty-five years, ex
eept as to honorably discharged sol
diers, having preference under sec
tion 1754 of the revised statutes, wdio
may be examined without regard to
a<re i
Tlule three provides that the papers
of every examination shall be marked
under the direction of the commis¬
sion, and each competition shall be
graded on the scale of 15, according
to the general average determined by
marks made by’ the examiners on his
papers. 1 be Commissioners may ap
point in each railway mail division
as many boards of examiners as it
may deem necessary for the good of
the service and convenience of ap¬
plicants; provided, that there shall
lie at least one such board in each
territory, and not less than two in
each state, except that tiie number
may be limited to one each in the
states of Rhode Island and Delaware.
These boards shall conduct such ex¬
amination for the admission to and
promotions in the classified railway
mail service, and such examinations
for other branches of the classified
service as tiie commission may direct.
They shall also mark such examin¬
ation papers as the commission may
direct. Unless otherwise directed by
the commission, the papers of the ex¬
aminations for admission to tiie
classified railway mail service shall
be Washir^piu. iiia'<|d by the central board at
All persons having
preference, as honorably discharged
soldiers or sailors, shall be placed
upon the eligible list when they shall
have attained as such examination a
general average of not lesv than 65,
on a basis of 100 as perfect. Other
competition must have attained a
general average of not less than
seventy. A register of eligibles shall
be kept for each state and territory,
eligibles from the District of Colum¬
bia to be entered upon the registers
of the statesof Maryland and Virginia.
Tiie term of eligibility shall not be
less than one year, and this term may
be extended in any state or territory,
if the commission find such admis¬
sion to be for tiie public good.
Rule 4 provides that all vacancies
in the service of the above class shall
, b. HIM , by , promotion .. upon «.<* ,
tests of fitness ns the Postmaster
General, with tiie approval of com
mission may prescribe, except that
under certain specified conditions a
vacancy oocuring in a state or rail
way mail division in any grade may
be filled by the transfer of a clerk of
the same grade from another state or
division,
Vacancies in class one are to be
filled by certification of tiie General
Superintendent upon his request of
three names from the register of the
state in which the vacancy exists,
having tiie highest examination av
erages. If, however, there are on the
register names of persons having the
preferenee right of an honorably dis
charged soldier or sailor such named
shall he certified before the names of
.11 other eligibles of a higher grade.
All appointments VV shall be made for a
probationary . k term of , . months, .. at .
six
the end of which time the probationer
may be absolutely appointed or dis¬
charged, according to his record.
is further provided that there may be
certified and appointed in each state
and territory, in tiie manner stated
above, such number of substitute
clerks not exceeding a ratio of one
substitute to twenty clerks, as the
Postmaster-General may authorize,
and any vacancies oceuring in class
one in any state shall be tilled by such
substitutes in the order of their ap
pointuient as such, and the time act
ualiy employed by them shall be
counted as a part of the probation.
Rule five authorizes the requisition
of the Postmaster-General, and under
certain other specified conditions
transfers from the classified railway
mail service to any classified postoffie,
and vice versa, and from the railway
mail service to the postoffice depart¬
ment, and vice versa.
Rule six reads as follows: Upon the
requisition of the Postmaster-General
the commission shall certify for the
reinstatement in grade or class no
higher than that in which he was
formerly employed, any person who
within one year next preceding the
date of requisition has, through no
delinquency or misconduct, been
separate( | f roui tlie c i ass ifi e j railway
mail service.
1{ule seven prescribes that the
geueral ruperinteudent of the
mail service shall immediately report
to tiie commission every change made
in tlie service by appointment, oro
motion, discharge, etc.
The two important features of these
rules are that reasons are required for
every refusal to make absolute ap¬
pointment, and that for every stqrnr
ation from the service the cause of
such separation must be reported to
the commission. Reasons for redaov
als, etc., have not hitherto been re¬
quired. These rules were prepared
by Commissioner Lyman and were
signed by himself and Commissioner
Edgerton.

EAT ALL YOU WANT.
It is the Best Way to Keep in Good
Health.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A physician, writing on tho food
necessary to give strength and suste
anco, says that if a person uses his
brain faster than he makes it ho

tion of meat than of vegetable food.
Beef should be taken as the standard
meat. It answers every’ purpose of
the system. Veal and pork are net
as easily digested. Pork so far as
its composition goes is an excellent
food for nervous persons, but it is
not readily digested. Yet in the ap¬
my, we used to think nothing bcRer
for the wounded men than bacon.
As a rule, salt meat is not adapted
to the requirements of tho nervous
individuals, as nutrious juices to a
great extent go into the brine.
The flesh of wild birds is more
tender and more readily digested
than that of domestic ones. This is
accounted fer by the greater amount
of exercise they take, thereby re¬
newing their flesh more rapidly and
making it younger than that of
birds which lead a more quiet life.
This is a suggestion that might be
of benefit to women of sedentary
liadits who are desirous of prolong¬
ing an appearance of youth. Fish
of all kinds is a good food for the
nervously inclined. Raw eggs, co
trary to general opinion, are not belrf is
digestible as those that have
cooked.

that most people don’t killed-®very eat enough.
There are more people

than by over loading their stomachs.
Many of those who do eat a suf¬
ficient quantity are prevented from
disease by’ digesting enough for the
economy’ of their systems, The
very first thing for any’ one to do
who has exhausted himself by men¬
tal work, or who has been; born
weak and irritable, is to furnish his
brain with sufficient nourishment to
either repair the damage it has sus¬
tained, or to build it into a strong,
healthy’ condition. People in this
condition usually suffer from ricr
uous dyspepsia. Their stomachs are
unable to perform the labors of* as
similation. . .. Owing to the deficient R • ,

worse state than if the food had not
been taken, for the fermentation
generates acids and gas.
Nervous ituiiuiduals may derive
all the fat they need from sugar and

With proper eating and drinking
we should have fewer broken down,

species cannot eliminate flesh from
its food and amount to a row ot pins.
The fancy that nothing but vegeta

Again I*res.
Savannah, Ian. 7. —Tho Central
Railroad and Banking Company to¬
day elected the following now board
of directors:
E. P. Alexander, R. M. Comer, J.
Raneys, W. W. Gordon, W. S. Chis¬
holm, J. K. Garnett, E. M. Green,
and A. Vetburg, of Savannah ; C. H.
Phinizy, of Augusta; Patrick Cal¬
houn’ S. M. Inman and H. T. Inman
of Atlanta, and John C. Calhoun of
New York.
There will bo no change in the or¬
ganization of the board.
SOMEWHAT OP A SURPRISE.
The return to the directory’ of Co¬
mer, Gordon and Paynes was a big
surprise. The three went out two
years ago with the defeat ot W. G.
Raoul. With the single exception
of John C. Calhoun, the directors
are all Georgia men. C. R. Wood
and J. J. Wilder who were on the
old board, will probably’ go in other
directories of the Terminal system
as will also Walther Luttgen, of
New York. The changes are in tho
interest of harmony and prosperity’.
The presence of Gordon, Comer-and
Ray’nes on the board indicates plain¬
ly’ that the minority’ stockholders
are content with the management
of their property’. This move will
show very clearly, it is believed that
tne majority of the stockeolders are
no longer distrusted.
General Alexander is to remain
president of the system. His man
agom4.it of the property has been
wholly’ satisfactory to the majority
of the stockholders.
Pat Calhoun is to be tho eompa
ny’s general counsel. He will be
elected at the meeting of the dire:*
tors tomorrow. He and his brother
Jim and Gen Alexander lead the
fight which changed the management
of the road two years ago. Since
then he has figured in all the moves
and he has had a great deal to do
with successfully’ engineering them
in Wall street.

A LITTLEMEGRO GIRLS HEROISM
After Receiving Fatal Burn* Site
Suve* Her infant Sinter
from the Flame*.
Griffin, Jan. 8 .—A 3 year-old
negro child exhibited an abnegation
of.self near this place last Sunday
that was worthy of Jim Givens.
Two little children were left alone
on that evening by their parents,
who are tenants on Mr. Williamson’s
plantation. During the absense of
the parents the cabin cauhglon fire.
The little 3-year-old child made the—
effort to extinguish the flames re¬
ceiving fearful burns. Her efforts
failed, however, and though she
was then near dead from her burns,
she seized her infant sister and car¬
ried her out ot’the burning house to
a place of safety. After reaching a
place where there was no danger,
the little heroine died in a few min
utes.

The South'* Progress.
The MamifaeturersReCord initsan
nual review’ ot’the South’s industrial
progress, shows that the capital rep¬
resented by new mining and manu¬
facturing enterprises organized in
18S8 was £168,800,000. During
1888 there were organized in the
South 3,618 new enterprises against
3,430 in 1887 and 1,575 in 1886 a
total for tho three 3 ’ears of 8,623,
in addition to which there were hun¬
dreds of small enterprises such as
grist mills, gins, etc., not counted in
this enumeration. Cotton mills have
increased from 180 with 15.329 looms
and 713,989 spindles, in 1880 to over
300 mills with about 38,000 looms
and 1,805,000 spindles, while many*
new mills are under construction and
many old ones being enlarged. The
value of cotton goods made in the
South whs £21,000,000 in 1880 and
nearly 59,000,000 for 1888. In 1880
there were forty cotton seed oil mills
in tlie South; now there are 100 with
about 812,000,000 invested. The
value of the South’s agricultural pro¬
ducts for 1880 was about 8800,000,
000 against 571.000,000 in 1879.
The value of the South,s livo stock
is now 8575,000,000, while in 1879
it was 8391,400,000. Products from
grain rose from 431,074,630 bushels
in 1880 to 626,305,000 bushels in 18S8,
an increase of nearly 200 , 000,000
bushels.
Save tne Dimes.
The Fastoria (O.) Review says that
a young man in that city witha fam
ily recently showed the editor a box
of 10 cent pieces and gave tho fol
lowing history: “1 had read in a
Chicago paper how much a man
could save and not feel it by’ laying
aside 10 cent pieces that he received
and then after a certain time bring
ing them out and finding that enough
had been saved to get many’ com
forts or some little luxury*. The
amount saved was so largo that I
questioned tho accuracy’; so I de
termed to find out for myself, and I
resolved that every 10 cent piece
thj*~, came into my possession 1
would put in a box and on Christ
mas give it to my T wife. If I wished
to buy any* little thing I never offer
ed a 10 cent piece but used 5 cent
pieces or quarters or larger; my 10

They Could Hevo Been Saved.
Wo can not but notice how many’
of the citizens of this country, of
both sexes, are apparently being
taken away before their time. Ono
of Georgia’s most honored sons—her
gifted silver toned orator, not long
since fell a victim to frightful maie
dy. Gen. Grant was another victim ;
and the dispatches from tho world
across the Atlantic tell us that
Germany s new emperor will very
soon follow his honored father.
Many others, scores and hundreds,
unknown to greatness, but very
dear to those around them, are
perishing every year from the same
scourage. It is unnecessary to tell
you that this terrible, repulsive and
loathsome disease is—cancer. Can it
be cured? Medical skill has ap¬
parently’ exhausted itself, and the
surgeon’s knife has cut in vain to
root it out.
Seemingly, cancer is incurable.
Now what is to be done? If you
wait until the disease is upon you
it is too late. Then why’ not antici¬
pate the monster and use the prevent¬
ative. In order to avoid this and an
innumerable number of other blood
troubles, y r ou must keep the blood
pure and healthful—and the one
great remedy for this is, that King
of all Purifiers—“Guinn’s Pioneer
Blood Kenewer.” It extracts the
virus from the blood and keeps it in
a pure and excellent condition.
Don’t delay until it is too late. Call
at the druggists for an almanac, and
you will find that this celebrated
medicine has cured, right here in
your own country’, about every’ dis¬
ease emenating from a depraved
condition of the blood.
A few bottles taken in the spring
and fall will be all that you will need.
An old adage, but a very good one,
that “an ounce of preventive is better
than a pound of cure” is very appli¬
cable here.
Ask for “Guinn’s Pioneer Blood
Kenewer.” the druggists all sell it.
How Can Parents

t strain and c-ough and calmly’ say,

Swift Specific Co.. Atlanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen.—Five years ago one
the best physicians in Evansville,
Ind., was treating me for a bad case
of blood poison. I did not improve
to please him or myself either, and
was on the point of changing physi¬
cians, when I was offered a place in
Chattanooga. In telling my physi¬
cian good bye, I asked him about
your medicine. He hesitated a
minute, and then suggested that I
try’ it. Immediately on reaching
Chattanoogo I purchased three bot¬
tles of Dr. L. (i. Wilson, druggist.
I began to improve at once, and in
six months there was not one of the
hundred sores* left on my body. I
a took a dozen or two more bottles,
arid to-day am as healthy as ever.
1 am ready to answer all inquiries
and substantiate this statement to
