their most excruciating

suffered with terrible
cramps every month,
and would sometimes
lose consciousness for 4

AGED CITIZENS IN A SCRAP.
C. H. Burney was Felled by L. Rhod
en In West Broad Street Today.
There was a little excitement today
at ■noon growing out of a short scrap
on West Broad street near the Farm
ers Warehouse. The participants In
the encounter were C. H. Burney, one
of the oldest citizens of the count/
and L. Rhoden, an aged citizen of
Robinson district. Tn the encounter
Burney was struck by Rhoden and
knocked down. He arose with a board
In his hand and attempted to return
the fire but frineds stepped In and
prevented a continuation of the fight.
A case was made against Rhoden
In police court and he was tried
two o’clock. The evidence was given
by a man named Croft and another
named Eure. Both of them testified
that the two met near the Farmers’
Warehouse and Rhoden addressed
Burney and told him he wanted hi:
money. Burney replied “I want
mine.” Then followed the lick by
Rhoden which struck Burney In the
face and felled him.
The two men seemed to have had
j previous trouble. Rhoden has been
! a tenant on Burney's place In
! Robinson district. He was moving
j off of the place some weeks ago with-
1 out having made a settlement and
; Burney took an officer down and
I levied on some of his household
j goods. Today was the first time the
j two men had met since that time,
j After the case was disposed of In
the Mayor’s court Burney took out
a warrant for Rhoden for assault and
battery.—Moultrie Observer.

Dear Sir: I notice your editorial
comment on my article In the At
lanta Journal. Since you publish my
side of it, I can have no quarrel with
you for not agreeing with me. I
think, however, your comment con
veys the impression that I am an ap*
pointee of Governor Smith, which Is
eroueous. I have never asked the
Governor for an’ office, and it is not
likely I ever will. I served two years
as Judge of the City Court of Moul
trie, receiving my appointment from
Governor Candler. The salary was
$750:00 per year. It was not a fat
Job much.
Wishing you success in most <
your efforts, I am

GENERAL GORDON.
HI* Erratic Nature and a Tributa t#
Hi* Heroism.
In liis book, “Modern Egypt,”
Lord Cromer, for twenty years the
representative of British authority
in the land of the khedive, gives
the other side of the heroic story
of General Gordon’s rule in Khar
tum, where he was slain by the
fanatical natives. Lord Cromer
twice rejected the proposal to send
Gordon to the Sudan. “Would,”
he says, “that I had done so a third
time.” lie soon woke to Gordon’s
variability. He says: “Impulsive
flightiness was in fact the main
defect of General Gordon’s charac
ter, and it was one which, in my
opinion, rendered him unfit to carry
out a work which pre-eminently re
quired a cool and steady head. I
used to receive twenty to thirty
telegrams from General Gordon in
the course of the day when he was
in Khartum, those in the evening
often giving opinions which it was
impossible to reconcile with others
dispatched the same morning.”
This stream of telegrams from
Khartum was so continuous that
Lord Cromer had to adopt a special
method of dealing with them. “I
generally found a hatch of them
waiting for me when I began my
work in the morning,” he says. “My
practice was to put them on one
side and wait till the afternoon, by
which time more had generally ar
rived. I used them to compare the
diirerent telegrams, to try to ex
tract from them what it was that
General Gordon really wanted and
then to decide what could bo done
toward carrying out his wishes.”
Lord Cromer says also: “One of
the leading features of General
Gordon’s strange character was his
total absence of self control. He
was liable to fits of ungovernable
and often of the most unreasonable
passion. He formed rapid opinions
without deliberation and rarely held
to one opinion for long. His jour
nal, in which his thoughts from
day to day are recorded, is, even in
the expurgated form in which it
was published, a mass of inconsist
encies.”
General Gordon’s courage
warmly praised by Lord Cromer,
who says further: “Many a man be
fore General Gordon has laid down
his life at the call of duty. Many
a man, too, has striven to regard
death as a glad relief from pain,
sorrow and sulTering. But no sol
dier about to .lead a forlorn hope,
no Christian martyr tied to the
stake or thrown to the wild beasts
of ancient Rome, ever faced death
with more unconcern than General
Gordon.”
THE SPRING IS ON
The spring is on and the the flowers are blooming in the wood- Q
land. Would it not be better for you to give your wife or self the n
benefit of some of the invigorating healthful properties that comes |
from the open country fresh air, bv buying a nice rubber-tire bug
gy that is inviting to take an outing in than to stay housed up
until after while when the bloom of the cheek begins to leave and
the doctor puts in his appearance, and worse than all—his bill.

IT’S YOUR KIDNEY8.
Don’t Mistake the Cauee of Your
Troubles—A Valdosta Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
Is only a muscular weakness:
when urinary trouble sets In they
think It will soon correct Itself. And
so It Is with all the other symptoms
of kidney disorders. That Is Just
where the danger lies. You must
cure these troubles or they may lead
to diabetes or Bright’s disease. The
best remedy to use Is Doan’s Kidney
Pills. It cures all Ills which are
caused by weak or diseased kidneys.
Valdosta people testify to permanent
cures.
M. A. Tolar, 311 N. Ashley (jit.,
Valdosta, Ga., says: “My back was
so lame and sore that I could hardly
get around. There were also pains
across my loins and at night I found
It almost Impossible to turn In bed.
I knew that this trouble came from
my kidneys for the secretions from
these organs were unnatural in ap
pearance, contained a sediment and
did not act regular. I used every
thing that I thought would help this
trouble but to no avail. A short
time ago I heard about Doan’s Kid
ney Pills and led to give them
trial, procuring a box at Dlmmock’s
Pharmacy. Two boxes entirely cur
ed me and I am now in much better
health. You are at liberty to use my
name as a reference, for I can recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pills highly.”

DAIRY FARM JOB.
Skillful Handling For the Bunch of
8pring Calves.
By J. H. GltlSDALE.
The calf should be removed from the
cow the second or third day. It should
then be taught to drink. This may be
done about as follows: Take a quart of
warm new milk in a ten quart pall.
Give the calf two lingers to suck air
between.’ Gradually lower its nose In
to the pall. When It finds milk instead
of air entering between the lingers It i>
likely to relax the neck and start ti
take milk. Do not sink the nose s»
far into the milk as to cover the nos
trlls. If it will not drink at first, leavt
it for a few hours to work up an appe
tite. After a few days It may gradual
ly be weaned from the fingers.
Whole milk should he fed for at
least one week. During the next week
the change from whole milk to skim-
mllk should gradually be brought
about. Substitute eaeli day a regular
ly increasing pro|>ortion of skimmllk
for the same amount of whole milk
withdrawn.
Feeding Point*.
The skhmnilk should be fed wuhn.
from 00 to 100 degrees F.. no more, no
less. To replace the fat removed from
the skimmllk as well as to furnish nd
dltional protein it is well to add some
flaxseed Jelly to the ration. This Jelly
should be added in small quantities at
first and slowly Increased. Begin with
a dessertspoonful In each portion and
gradually increase until about a cup
ful Is being fed night and morning to
the three-uionths-old calf.
In addition to the flux Jelly a little
dry bran and whole oats should be fed.
Start w’ltli very small quantities. Some
clean sweet clover hay will be a valua
ble addition to the ration at a very
early age.
Whey may be used where skimmllk
Is not to be had. Change from inllk to
whey ns from whole milk to skimmllk
(see method outlined above). The flax
seed meal Jelly, etc., should bo used
Just as with sjtimmllk.
Where sklnjmilk or whey Is used
available calves may be raised on hoy
tea. Boll cut clover or even timothy
In water until a strong decoction of
tea is obtained. Wean the calf from
milk to this tea precisely as described
from whole milk to skimmllk above.
The same supplementary feeds mny
be used in flQtiewhftt larger quantities.
The aklmnPk should be fed sweet
for some tlojgt least If it is likely,
however ttuflrU will sometimes be
sour it 1*> adffikble to gradually change
to sour milkMnnd feed sour milk in
variably. (VS same counsel applies
to whey.
Calves should be kept In scrupulously
clean pens. These should be dry and
warm in winter and cool and dry In
summer.
Conductiva to Bono Diseases.
In a discussion of horse and mule
feeding under local conditions in South
Africa and of the importance of min
eral matter In the ration H. Ingle con
cludes that oat hay or oat hay and
mealies (Indian corn) ”are not suitable
as the exclusive diet of working horses
and mules for two reasons—first, such
a diet Is not rich enough in nitroge
nous matter in proportion to carbohy
drates and fats to properly supply the
requirements of the animals: second,
the diet is defective In its capability of
supplying materials for proper nourish
ment of the bones of the animals and
thus Is favorable to the production of
bone diseases.”
THRILLING SPORT.
Rafting Down the Canyons of
mapped Glacial Rivsr.
With provisions for only ten days n
party of explorers in Alaska found one
September that they must build rafts
and take their chauces of letting the
swift river carry them to settlements
where food could be obtained: other
wise Ice ami snow would shut them lu
from all hope of rescue. In “The
Shameless Diary of an Explorer” Rob
ert Dunn tells of the Journey on the
roughly made rafts.
“At 11 o’clock today began the most
thrilling sport I kuow, rafting dowu
the snaky canyons of nu unmapped
glacial river.
“Fred and I captained the Mary Ann

Messrs. Alwny and Peters of the
Nebraska station studied the “corn
stalk disease” of cattle during the sea
son of 1000-7 In Custer county. They
have recently reported that during that
period eighty-one out of every thousand
cattle turned into the stnlk fields were
lost through this disease when no feed
was provided in addition to that to be
found In the stnlk fields. When other
feed was given the loss decreased to

Great Cattle 8how.
A splendid new fireproof coliseum at
Fort Worth. Tex., is now the perma
nent location of the great cattle show
of the southwest. This strictly modern
cattle pavilion was lately inaugurated
with an excellent show. Of Short
horns of the breeding class there were
145 entries, and Here fords numbered
143. Angus and Red Poll* were well
represented. There were twenty-flve
carloads of fat cattle. Leedals’s Lad.
champion steer of the show, is u Here
ford, two years old.
Outstanding merit marked the hog
exhibit, which comprised thirty-nine
carloads. Poland-Chlnas, Doroc-Jcr
soys and a few Berks hi res made the
main feature.
. Five Chickens For $7,500.
A Missouri breeder recently told to
a famous pianist's wife a pen of five
White Orpington chickens for the tidy
sum of $7.50t>—$1,500 per chicken,
far as we know, that Is the record for
a pen of fowls. We observe that the
breeder who sold these chickens marks
the picture of them “Tains $7,500.”
Perhaps It would be more nearly cor
rect to say “Price $7,500.” It Is very
doubtful whether any five chickens on
earth are actually worth $7X00 from s
business standpoint. Bat from the
standpoint of a seeker after pleasure
recreation a chicken ought to be
worth as much as a bulldog, and s dog
•ells for thousands of dollars some
times.—National Stockman.
Mora Promising Markets.
A Chicago exchange notes that sup
plies of fat cattle are generally re
ported to be light in all sections of the
country, and there Is confident expecta
tion of good markets until grass cattle
come forward. Substantial Improve
ment has been shown recently in prices
of cattle, sheep and hogs.
A Risky Subject.
“Do you think, sweetheart” queried
the young man with the evenly divid
ed hair, “that your father will con
sent to our marriage7”
Well.” replied the fair one, “of
courso papa will be sorry to loso me,
but”—
“But,” interrupted the rash yonth,
“I will remind him that instead of los
ing a daughter he will gain a son.”
Dearest” rejoined the wise maid,
“if you really want me you mustn’t
say anything of the kind. Papa has
three such sous boarding with him
now, and he’s a little touchy on the
subject”
Queer Milk.
Many specimens of unconscious hu
mor ore received by the editors of that
