POLITICS IN THE STATE.
THE DEMOCRATS OF GREENE RAL
LYING FOR THE FRAY.
The County Executive Committee
Celle a Rally for April 21—Men Who
Have Been Out of Politics for Years
to Take an Active Part Against, the
Third Party Ites.
Greensboro, Ga., April 6. —The demo
cratic executive committee met at the court
house in Greensboro to-day. About fifteen
members were present, and all were enthu
siastic and eager to put tbe party in good
fighting trim, it was decided to hold a mass
meeting of the party on Thurs lay, April
21. Preparations will be made for a grand
rally, and the party will start in the cam
paign for a vigorous and winning fight.
Col. Atkinson, Hon. J. C. C. Black of Au
gusta and others will be invited to address
the people on the issues of the day, and to
meet the third party howlers in their tactics
to mislead the farmers. That day will be
given up to good and pure democratic
doctrine, free from all taint of anarchy and
communism. The democracy is thoroughly
eroused, aud the young men and old, who
realize that the country is in imminent
danger, have their coats off and
are wild for the contest with the third
party ites. Democratic clubs embracing the
best men in the county are being organized
and men will take an active part in the
campaign who for years have simply voted
with the party. Already the work is count
ing and there are numbers of deflections
from the third party. Others are wavering
and it only requires the convincing logic of
good democratic doctrine to recall to the
party many who have been towed off under
the hurrah and misrepresentations of the
latter day political Salvationists. Those
■who want office will hold on, but their
backing won’t stand the democratic shelling
that is just ahead.
A SET BACK FOR THIRD PARTY MEN.
Atlanta , Ga., April 6. —The thirk party
received a decided set back at the hands of
the Fulton county alliauce to-day. At a
regular meeting of the order an effort was
made to pass a resolution indorsing tbe Be.
Louis convention. 8. M. Taliuferro, presi
dent of the county alliauoe. who has long
been outspoken in favor of the third party,
was in the chair, and endeavored to
imitate Czar Tom Reed’s tactics to
have the third party indorsed, but he
was sat down upon. His ruling was ap
pealed from and tbe resolution tabled,
which killed the movement. Hon. John
Nelms is vice of the county
alliance. He is an uncompromising demo
crat, and on a technicality the third tarty
element in the meeting endeavored to have
him ruled out. But this was also defeated,
and the chances are now that instead of
being forced out of the alliance, Col. Nelms
will be made president at the July meet
ingJJ on Qacoount of his bold leader
ship of the democratic alliauoe side in to
day’s oontest. Besides officiating at the
funeral of the third party in Fulton county,
so far as the alliance is concerned, the meet
ing to-day indorsed the recent reduction of
salaries in the alliance exchunge brought
about by the consolidation of the offices of
president and business agent, which posi
tions are now filled by Col. W. L.
Peek. The expenses are thus reduced
from 14,000 to $1,900. Some time ago the
city of Columbus sent a petition to congress
to enjoin the city of Atlanta from uaiug the
water from the Chattahoochee river as the
supply for her now wuter works system, on
the round that Columbus would suffer in
consequence. This matter was handled by
tbe alliance meeting in the passage of a
resolution calling on the Georgia senators
to use their efforts to prevent the legisla
tion asked for by Columbus.
A FLOP TO THE THIRD PARTY.
Athens, Ga., April 6.—Jackson county
has caused a big sensation by Hopping over
to the third party. To-day tho democratic
county executive committee met at Jefferson
to elect delegates to the democratic national
convention. B. V. Laugford presided. Tho
entire committee, consisting of twelve mem
bers, were present. When the body was
ready for business ten out of the twelve
memburß, including the chairman, for
mally placed their resignations before the
body. The two remaining true to the Demo
cratic party were Messrs. Boyd and Will
iamson. This is a black eye to the democ
racy in Jackson, and is the occa
sion of muoh surprise among
tbe people, as all committeemen
has always been considered democrats.
The members who withdrew have declared
straight out for the People’s party and it is
said that a majority iu the county is with
them, as the people seem frantic for some
kind of reform aud relief. It is feared that
the third party will carry the oounty by
several thousand majority in tbe county,
state ami national elections, as they are or
ganizing with great strength.
Madison’s election.
Madison, Ga., April 6. —The following
ticket was elected here to-day: For mayor,
E. W. Butler: for counoilmen, John Orr,
B. B. Cohen, L. H. Foster and H. H. Fitz
patrick.
scriven’s executive committee.
Rocky Ford, Ga., April 6. —The demo
cratic executive committee of Soriven met
yesterday, aud W. L. Matthews, Jr., tho
chairman of the committee, resigned and
■went over to the People’s party. Bo also
did two other members of the committee.
The committee was reorganized aud N. P.
Wado was elected chairman.
The People’s party had a grand rally in
Bylvania to-dav. There was said to have
been about 200 present. They’ were ad
dressed by Col. W. L. Peek of Rockdale,
and W. L. Matthews, Jr., was elected
chairman of their committee. Politics is
getting warm, and wo have indications of a
lively time ahead of us. Some of the can
didates for county officers are trying to
straddle the issue.
THE KEELING IN EMANUEL.
Swainsboro, Ga., April 6.—Politics in
this county is beginning to receive consider
able attention. The campaign will boa
clear cut issue in this section between tbe
democrats and third partyites.
B.F. Coleman will probably run for
representative on the democratic ticket and
•will be opposed by H. L. Smith, a third
party extremist, aud F. H. Saffold whose
policy does not appear to fixed. Col. Lester
seetn3 to be the ohoice of the people for
congress. His labors in behalf of deep
•water fur Savannah is fully appreciated by
all parties, and from present indications any
opposition to him would be vain. W. R.
Kemp is mentioned as a possible opponent,
but the position he took at the St. Louis
convention detracted from his popularity.
The democratic league in this county is
putting iu good work.
BULLOCH’S THIRD PARTY.
Btatesboro, Ga., April 6.— The People’s
party has called a convention for April 22,
and the democrats have called a convention
for May 16. The banner couuty of democ
racy is diviled, like the balanoe of Georgia,
and the issues clearly drawn.
POLITICS IN LAURENS.
Dublin, Ga.. April 6.—Politios is be-
S inning to warm up in Laurens county.
ince Judge Spencer R. Atkinson swallowed
the Oca.s platform, sentiment is rapidlv
crystalllizing in favor of Hon. Henry G.
Turner for congressional honors. Judge
Atkinson will gain a small class of votes
from the alliance and third party ranks,
but the rock-ribbed democracy will vote
■olid for Turner. The third party people
have raised a tempest in a teapot, and so
far have shown themselves to be very
weak. They have invited Senator Elling
ton to spoak here, but no one seems to know
•whether he has accepted. Mr Turner's
supporters here aro anxious for him to
meet the people of Laurens, and believe
that with a good democratic talk and his
splendid record he will sweep the county.
The Macon, Dublin and bavaunah rail
road has made a junction here with the
WrightsviUe and Tenniile road, by eon
dein ation proceedings, aud it is under
stood will soon commence the bavaunah
extension.
READY TO VOTE ON FREE WOOL.
The House Completes Its Considera
tion in Committee.
Washington, April 6.—ln the House the
prayer was delivered this morning by Rev.
Edward N. Calisch of Richmond, Va.
After the transaction of some miscellane
ous business, Mr. McMillin moved the House
go Into committee on the free wool bill.
Fending that, he moved that all debate on
the first section bo limited to hours
After some good natured discussion be
tween Messrs. McMillin and Burrows. Mr..
MoMillin suggested that three-quarters
of au hour he given to each
side. Mr. Burrows said that the time offered
was not sufficient, but he was so anxious to
proceed with the bill that he would acqui
esce. So yesterday's battle svas over, and
the House went into committee of the whole
with Mr. Blount of Georgia in the chair.
The pending amendment was that offered
by Mr. Burrows, str.king from the first sec
tion the word “wools.” Though the amend
ment was a vital one, little interest was
taken in tbe vote, and it was rejected on
the division by a vote of 28 to 130.
The proceedings ran smoottily and there
was no further friction. Mr. Otis of Kansas
moved to strike out the first section. The
bill in its first section insulted the wool
grower and in the second section proposed
to rob his pockets. The farmers would not
consent to place wool on the free list and at
the same time to place a tariff on woolen
manufacturers.
Mr. Alexander of North Carolina, spoke
in favor of the proposed amendment im
posing a duty of 30 per oeut. on imported
wools.
Messrs. Henderson of Illinois, Lind of
Minnesota, Johnson of North Dakota, and
Dingleyof Maine were opposed to depriving
farmers who produced the wool of the bene
fits of protection which were awarded to
the manufacturers who used It ns in the
pending bill. Mr. Johnson asserted that so
far as his state was concerned, wool was not
a raw material, but was a ‘'finished prod
uct.”
Mr. Lanham of Texas held that the pend
ing hill was the beginning of tbe end of the
protective system.
Mr. Harries of Minnesota argued In favor
of the bill.
ALEXANDER’S AMENDMENT REJECTED.
The time fixed for debate having ex
pired, a vote was taken on Mr. Alexander’s
amendment and it was rejected.
The vote recurring on Mr. Otis’ motion
to strike out the first Bection, it was lost.
There was no fight made on either amend
ment and no interest was shown.
The second section was then read and dis
cussion ensued a- to the effect had upon the
prioe of wool and woolen goods by the pro
tective tariff. The debaters now were
Messrs. Butler of lowa, Dingley, Breckin
ridge of Kentucky, Lind of Minnesota,
Moore of Texas, Walker of Massachusetts ,
J. D. Taylor of Ohio, Milliken, Boutelle,
Buchanan of New Jersey, and others.
“Nero fiddled while Rome burned” was
the quotation with which Mr. Mallory of
Florida promised his remarks. The House
was now engaged on a matter of vital in
terest to the people of the country, a matter
which affected every man and woman in
all relations of life. The democrats sat here
honestly, earnestly, devoutly undertaking
to decrease the burdens of taxation which
the Republican party bad placed upon the
shoulders of the people, and they were met
by gibes aud quips and jokes. There was
embodied in the measure not only a re
duction of the duty on wool, but on nearly
every other article in use in this country to.
day. He was ready to vote for any bill that
would reduce anything under the tariff.
READY TO LET IN ORANGES.
Mr. Dingley—l understand the gentleman
to denounce all protective duties. Is he
ready to wipe out of existence protective
duties on oranges!
Mr. Mallory—l am. [Applause.]
Continuing, Mr. Mallory said that when
tbe time came that he would ask the people
of other slates to give his people concessions
which tbe people of his state would not give
to them be would no longer be qualified to
sit upon ibis floor.
Mr. Dingley—Did not your predecessor In
the last congress ask for an inoreased duty
on oranges!
Mr. Mallory—My predecessor may have
done so, but I would not have the face to
come before this congress and ask that it
put a duty on orange* and take it off every
thing else.
The committee then rose and reported the
bill to the House, and the House, without
action, adjourned.

of Georgia to-day a H. Sibley aud J. F.

Notes From et. Mary's.
Bt. Mary’s, Ga., April 6. —Bishop Nel
son preached here last night to an overflow
ing house. A party of about fifty people
from Fernandinn were present.
Misses Lang and Bailey, both of Camden
county, are visiting St. Mary’s.
Quite a uumber of drumtish have been
caught within a few hundred yards of the
wharf. The fishing is finer than it has been
for years.
MOBS GiFIS THAN A QUEEN.
Mrs. McLaughlin-Carroll Has a Burg
lar-Proof Vault Built for Them.
FYorn the New York World.
When Miss Nellie MoLaughlm, the daugh
ter of the great Hugh McLaughlin, was
marriod to Dr. Alexander F. Carroll the
presents she reoeived wore more than any
living princess would get if she were mar
ried to-day. The known probity of the
riXler of Brooklyn prohibited gifts of money
from the recipients of Mr. McLaughlin’s
favors. He has never accepted a single
gift as a reward for the past or an
earnest of tho future. But the wedding of
bis daughter was an opportunity for his
friends to display*tbeir gratitude. Tiffany
had n thing too costly, and Europe was
ransacked for gifts rich enough. So that
when the bridal party returned from the
ohurch they found the house on Remseu
streqt jammed with the most exquisite
bevies vases, silver aud gold waro, china
sets worth a year’s wage, crystal cabinets,
diamonds—splendid things Mint an Aladdin
might have coveted aud not had.
Hugh McLaughlin gave his daughter and
son-in-law a house on Washington park,
and thither these princely gifts wore re
moved. The passerby could see the silver
ware gleamiug through the area win
dows. and through the lace whioh veiled
the parlor windows one caught the golden
shine of tall vases and etageres. But it
isn’t an unmixed joy to have so many
nice things about a house, things so
valuable in such small bulk, so port
able by an enterprising and active burglar.
It was a nightmare to tho Carrolls.
They had a private detective watch tho
house. But a private detective to be of any
account must be always around and there
fore in the way a good deal. So a burgiar
pr. of vault is being constructed under the
sidewalk of the Washington park house in
which the gold and silver and jewels will
be deposited until they are needed for high
days and occasions of rejoicing.
When it is done the Carrolls can lay them
down aud take their rest without the fear
of waking up in the morning to find their
throats cut irom ear to ear and their house
plundered aud despoiled.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1892.
VOUDOOISM.
A Poisonous Craze That Has Brought
Ruin and Death to Many a Home.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
The most frightful outbreak of voudoo
ism ever recorded in Louisiana, where it has
had its headquarters and final develop
ment, occurred in the latter part of 1875 and
the beginning of 1876. In the southern and
eastern parishes of the state poisoning raged
like an epidemic. It was traced to the
voudoo teachings and doctrines. What are
called voudoo doctors, both male aud fe
male, issued secret orders to the blacks to
satisfy their personal vengeance against an
enemy at whatever cost of innooent life.
The cornfield colored man, whose moral
sense of responsibility is es blunt as a stone
fence, at once acted on the directions given.
The consequences were appalling. In
Iberville parish its ravages were worst.
Household domestics who had any special
grudge to satisfy, however trivial, against
either black or white, deliberately poisoned
food or drink for general family consump
tion. In one family the cook placed arsenic
in the bucket of drinking w ater kept for
convenience on tbe veranda. She had a
crow to pick with another domestic, and in
reaching her she administered the fatal
draught to five people, all of whom died.
In another family in East Feliciana
parish, three deaths resulted from poison in
the soup; four people were carried off in a
neighboring parish by similar means.
Right and left this awful epidemic spread
and raged like a pestilence. There were
scores of viotlms.
Under the baneful orders of the vouddos
the blacks decimated the ranks of Innocent
men, women and children until such a
reign of terror swept over the entire state
that the people touched each morsel of food
and placed each drink of coffee or water to
their lips in mortal dread that the aot
would he their death warrant.
It would be unnatural to suppose that
the whites would calmly suffer such a tidal
wave of assassinations to roll over their
families. *They handed together to stamp
out the epidemic, and the means employed
were not specially legal or delicate. When
ever this pois ning crime was traced to a
negro, male or female, summary vengeance
was found at lhe end of a rope.
For a time JudgeL vuch held high carni
val in the affiioted parishes until the reigu
of terror shifted from the white race to the
black, and then the infamy euded.
Those who can recall the heated political
campaign of 1876 will remember how prom
inently the-e outrages upon tbe blacks in
Louisiana were Drought forward by the
north. Only a one-sided view of the situa
tion was then given, but the poison pesti
lence can largely account for the summary
justice then meted out to the colored race.
For many years now this Borgia specter
has not appeared on the Louisiana planta
tions. The people have been in friendly
relations with their colored employes, and
the best of good order has prevailed as a
rule.
the old ghost stalks again.
Mysterious reports come of the proselyting
presence of the baleful voudoo. He is
again secretly inflaming the blacks to the
old and almost forgotten deeds of ven
geance.
Insidious as a snake, voudooism lies con
cealed and never hisses till it strikes. It
never goes hunting with a brass band. In
the depth of almost impenetrable cypress
groves, in caverns almost unapproachable,
in the recesses of the swamps, tbe colored
men meet these voudoo witches to hear
their awful incantations and join in the
orgies.
Here the fatal seed il sown. Vengoanoe,
by any and all means, is the platform.
Human life weighs no more than a feather
in their fiendish calculations. Twenty
innooent souls can perish if needs be to ac
complish a desired aot of vengeance on one.
The first reappearance of this alleged
voudooism and i’a monstrous ageuoius is
near the town of ltayvllle, about fifty miles
due west of Vioksburg, and not far from
the Arkansas state line. The disease came
in its old pestilential form—a wholesale ad
ministration of poison for tbe purpose of
accomplishing rovenge on one single party.
Here again was the same hatred and
dreaded display of utter moral obliquity—
tbe girl confessing that she "didn’t care
how many were hurt so long as she could
reach that man."
It is not to be marveled at if the awful
train of bygone calamities rose before the
people. They were frenzied by the mem
ory o t wanton and unprovoked assassina
tions nearly twenty years back, when this
vengeful spirit of voudooism left its deadly
track in their households. T(jis colored
girl—answering all the symptons of a
dreaded disoaso— and to them the incarna
tion of a fiendish propensity of her race,
fanned into fresh virulence by voudoo agen
cies, and thieatening to again spread death
and rum in their homes.
Vengeance, swift and summary, seemed
the only way to kill this serpent in the sboll.
If the deed appears craven and oowardlv
it is only fair to recall the dreadful scourges
of voudooism in that state and remember
that the provocation was Rharp and keen.
“HUNTING BUBHEB."
A Little Tot Excites Considerable In
terest at Athens.
From the Athens iOa.) Banner.
A little tot, with tears streaming down
its cheeks, had the sympathies of all with
whom she came in contact yesterday.
When first noticed she was on Hill street
and Milledge avenue. A gentleman aps
proached and asked what was the cause of
her sorrow.
“I’m huntin' Bubber,” was tho choking
response.
“What is B lbber’s name?” was asked.
“Bubber —that’s all I know. Papa went
off to hunt him just a-running. He said he
expected Bubber was dead;” and the little
girl ran down Hill street, crying ai if her
heart would break.
Some gentlemen inquired of her the cause
of her grief, and ail received the same re
sponse. She did not know her papa’s name,
and when asked as to who he was, she
would Invariably reply. “Papa is all I
know.” She did not know where she lived,
only that it was " way out youder—nearly
in the eouutry.”
A sympathetic young man took her by
the hand aud said ho would help her to find
“Bubber” and papa. He tried iu vain to
get descriptions of their personages, for tho
little tut was sobbing and crying all the
time. He had started down town with the
little girl, and led her by ths hand, endeavor
ing to unravel her story.
The little girl was a beautiful flaxenod
haired little miss and possessed a charm,
ing pair of blue eyes. Her hair hung in
curls over her little shoulders and when she
told of how she was hunting “Bubber aud
papa ’spected he was dead," strong men
would turn aside aud brush a tear from their
eyes. The young geutleman. whose sym
pathy the little one had gained, led her on
down tbe street until the Methodist church
corner was reached, when the little one,
looking down Lumpkin street, exclaimed:
“Yonder’s pa and Bubber.”
“Hey-o, papa! hey-o. Bubber!” and she
throw hor tiny arms around "Bubber’s”
neck.
Here the young gentleman who had been
leading her said: “I found your little
daughter up ou Hill street, crying and siy
ing she was hunting for ‘Bubber,’ and that
you were of the opiuion that he was dead,
when I began to assist iu the search.”
The man picked the little girl up, pressed
a kiss to her cheek, and turning to the
young man said:
"True, she heard me say I expeoted ‘Bub
ber’ was dead, and that I left home iu
search of him. But you have misappre
hended who ‘Bubber’ is. 'Bubber,’ or
‘Boulder,’ is that dog here. He got out. of
the yard two days ago, and having heard
nothing from him I suspected he had beeu
killed. He is all right now. Pve just pur
chased a tag and collar for hl:n.”
Juliette Doda, a creole, whose bravery dur
ing tne Vranco-Pruss:au war gained for her oue

bLANG OF FEMININE LIPS.
A Conversational -Dice to Which the
World no Long.-r Objects.
From the London Telegraph.
We foar that on the geueral question of
the employment of slang the one defiant
young lady of Newnham, who is reported
to have said that she habitually spoke it
and heard many others do the same, will
find many sympathizers. The time for pro
test in this matter seems to have gone by—
except, of course, in the Utopia by the side
of the Cam—and the amused listener to
feminine conversation will find many op
portunities of adding to his acquaintance
with Ilia mother tongue. The word
“awful” has long since, like the word
gentleman, been soiled with all ignoble
use, and it may he doubted whether a sin
gle vestige of its original meaning remains
in the current colloquialisms of the day.
The necessity for superlatives appears to be
always present to the emotional sex; If they
wish to describe a happily-spent afternoon
they rarely fall short of such significant
adverbs as "wildly," or ‘"crazily,” or “rap
turously,” whereby to qualify their enjoy
ment, just as the resources of English are
obviously inadequate to express the
beauties of a dress -"garment" we believe
is the proper term—which is ‘ ‘quite too per
fect." No doubt, even a studious young
lady, when she goes to the halls of Oxford
or the colleges of Cambridge, oarries some
of these marks of original frailty with her;
and, though she may not, like her emphatio
sister in Chicago, "be just dizzy up
on education,” she probably interlards
her conversation with some gems that are
not to be found in Bindley Murray or John
son’s dictionary. Some years ago it was
found necessary to draw up a few simple
rules for undergraduates as to their proper
behavior while undergoing examination,
and we believe an Oxford professor devoted
himself to the arduous task of compilation.
The time porhaps has not yet come for some
similar treatise for the benefit of academio
young ladies; yet even now a few obvious
suggestions might be found to be not out of
place. It would he unwise, for instance,
for any girl student when face to face with
an unsympathetic examiner to remark:
1 ‘Ask me another" when battled by some re
oondite question; nor do we think that it
would he quite judicious for her to say that
she “took tea” with her judges or “had
them on toast,” when the ordeal
of viva vooe was over. PerhaDS
too, the oxpression “Thit takes the
cake" is only strictly applicable to
some bon-mot round the afternoon tea ta
ble, and should not be casually employed as
expressive of only ordinary wonder or sur
prise. There are, no doubt, certain phrases
which are found highly appropriate in the
mouth of a fair American heiress, but are
not quite suited for general use by those
who do not enjoy her advantages. If a girl
has not inherited a fortune made in pork or
petroleum it might he a little rash for her
to say that "Ma would be scared stiff,” or
' *Pa,” rendered “baldheaded right off” by
some act of unusual extravagance or petu
lance. Nor can wo recommend as a genial
fashion of putting a visitor at his ease the
invitation to some embarrassed Adonis in
the drawing-room “to find a scat upon the
floor and let bis legs hang over." ,
Of course it is only while ladies are yet
undergoing their education, and are* still,
so to speak, in statu pupillary, that we
should venture to suggest these restrictions
on the entire freedom which they rightfully
claim in language as iu other matters. In
duo course they will attain years of discre
tion, and thon there will be a practically
unbounded field whence they may garner
for themselves the fine flowers of elegant
and expressive talk. Slang is, as someone
remarked, only grammar in tbe making—
an aphorism which suggests all sorts of
awful possibilities in the grammar of tbe
future. When our young ladies coma to
the metropolis they will be able to take
every advantage of the facile colloquialisms
whish on all hands are offered for their ao
ueptance. Although a judge may not
know the meantng of “oof,” the youngeat
of young ladles who are “out" will ba able
to put his absurd lgnoranoe to shame—as is
natural to one who has sat at the feat of
modern literary Gamaliels and drank deep
at the wells of contemporary Bohemianlsm.
If she be fortunate she may be taken as au
exceptional treat to hear the most popular
music-ball artistes Invited for the nonce by
some sociable and fashionable club. It will
be no fault of hers if after such an experi
ence she fails to see the fun of “winking tbe
other eye” or does not appreciate the ex
quisite waggery of tbe chorus with the
Inspiring refrain of “Ta-ra-ra Boom
de-ay.” We may presume, of course,
that she already knows the humors
of a costermonger’s patter song and
understands the delicate irony of “win
ning an honest brown.” Such delights as
these, however, ought not to burst all at
once on the unprepared mind; there must be
a novitiate during which the debutanto
must be content to listen with proper awe
to the chaste conversation of her brother,
or, for tne matter of that, her elder sister
or oousiu or aunt. We are only pleading
that the delioacy of metropolitan slang,
wish all its fine mastery of nervous and
idiomatic phraseology, should be reserved
to the time of maturity and that the full
resonance of its melodious jargon should
not be allowed to fall on an untrained ear.
We thoroughly sympathize with the stu
dents of Newnham College in desiring to
keep a little sanctuary all to themselves,
where such words of hideous effrontery as
“swagger" should never be allowed to pen
etrate.

Like a S)ead fiislj.
j I had terrible ECZEMA for 18 years—
I was in bed six months at a time—body
, and limbs swollen and scaly like a dead
fish. The itching was terrible, and
FINALLY LOST MY SIGHT.
After treatment by five physicians, and
| other remedies without relief, I took
IS.S. S. and it cured me. My skin is
soft and smooth, and the terrible trouble
is all gone—R. N. Mitchell, Macon,Ga.
I know the above statement to be true.

WEDNESDAY, April 20, at 3:30 o’clock p. M.,
sharp:
A LIMITED NUMBER OP
THE CHOICEST LOTS
OF THE
SAVANNAH REAL ESTATE, LOAN AND
BUILDING COMPANY.
Said lots being situate on the highest point In
the eastern part of the city of Savannah. The
lots run from 30 to 40 feet in width by a depth
of from 110 to 116.5 feet. They front upon the
widest residence streets in Savannah, to-wit:
Gwinnett, Bolton, Waldburg, New Houston
Duffy, Henry and Anderson, and baek upon
lanes from 20 to feet wide. They are
bounded on tbe east by Waters avenue, which
has been widened where it passes the land of
tbe company to 60 feet. There is a magnificent
line of trees on the portion fronting these lands.
Ott, Harmon and Paulsen streets each run the
full length of the tract. Over 400 trees have
been planted. The lands are very rich with
clay subsoil, and flowers, grass and plants of
every kind will flourish luxuriantly. There are
ail the conveniences of the city proper, with the
delights of plenty of room, fresh air and beau
tiful scenery. Electric cars passing the prop
erty every twelve minutes, and making the run
from the furthest point to the city market, iu
accordance with the rate of speed prescribed
by the city council, in fifteen minutes. Nothing
remains to be done now to make this section a
model of beauty and desirability but the erection
of homes, and, with this end in view, the com
pany will sell, as stated, a limited number of
lots. High prices are not looked for, the idea
being to encourage builders. What can you
get north of Anderson street at a price that will
enable a man in moderate circumstances to
even think of buying? Nothing. Why not,
therefore, take advantage of this opportunity?
Life Is short and you cannot afford to put off
getting a home any lor ger. There is no telling
what you can do until you try, and many a man
has secured a home by the effort he would
willingly have made years before if he had
known how to start about it. The company Is
willing to do all It can to help those who intend
building, and you will not be the exception.
Tickets furnished free over the Electric railway
to all desiring to examine lots. Plats now
ready. Full particulars thereon, and auy fur
ther questions cheerfully and correctly
answered,
