BAD FOB HIKES.
Suit Against the Populist Candidate
for 88.000 Trust Funds.
Atlanta G(.. Sept. 19.—Judge Hines,
the populist candidate for governor is
the defendant to two suits involving his
integrity of character, which were begun
in the city court to-day.
The populist leader is accused of hav
ing misappropriated about (b.OOO of trust
fuDds.
Charles M Tyson, administrator of the
estate of Mrs. Addie M Lawson, brings
one of the suits for the recovery of
87,1*52.02. which sum is alleged to have
been put in Judge Hines' hands,
but never accounted for to the estate
bj him. He a.ieged *hat Mrs. Lawson
entrusted Judge Hines with 814.000 to be
applied to the payment of certain debts
After her death her administrator called
upon Judge Hines fora statement, when
it is claimed he accounted for ail the
(14.000 but (7.162.02. and the court is now
asaed to grant a judgment against him
for that amount.
The second suit is brought by Roger S.
Lawson, who claims that in March,
he placed si.Hl.ll in the hands of Judce
James K H.nes to he loaned out at in
terest by him on good securities Up to
the present time the petitioner asserts he
has never seen any securities for this
money, although Hines 3verred that he
had loaned it io one W. P. Littie at S per
cent, for the term of one year, and he
was in fact paid (o' as interest
for this period Lawson, however,
aliegtd that Little denies ever
having borrowed the money from
Hines, according to his statement to him
If the allegations in these suits are well
founded. Judge Hines has a very shady
professional record. These are not the
only suits pending against him brought
by clients who e.aim to hae been de
frauded by him. hone time ago he was
sued here for .t 10,000 by an Kng.ishman
named Briggs, besides the Sandersville

THE MEETING AT MILLEN.
A Crowd of Over 4.000 Listen to
Walsh and Garrard.
Millen. Ga. Sept. 19.—T0 a crowd of
4.000 from a speakers stand designed by
Col. William S. Wadiey of Burke county.
Rowed to-day such democratic talk as
has never been beard from a platform in
our sect.on. The speaker's stand in itself
was an inspiration to the speakers, rt pre
senting as it did. the glorious coat of
arms of o„r state, and entw.ned around
the columns were the products of our
Empire State of the south. Cotton, cane,
rice and other crops showed themselves,
but as a oasis corn was recognized as the
foundation.
Col. Thomas Oliver of Sylvania in an
introductory stated to the audience that
although good democracy was necessary
to the welfare of this country, we could
not expect everything from it until we
did our part in raising our part of our ow n
necessities.
Col Patrick Walsh followed and ex
plained to all intelligent hearers the
numerous vagaries of the third party as
it presented itself to the thinking- people
of our country.
After Col Walsh. Col. Garrard took the
stand, and he was at once set upon bv a
party of third partyites. who anticipated
a lot of fun from badinage with him,
iuuging from his pleasant appearance that
he was in for such. It is, however, use
less to say that he did them up in such
style that after a few trials they were
satisfied to let him alone and listen to his
words of wisdom and truth without inter
ruption. Of course Col. H. W. J. Ham,
who was on hand, had something to say.
and while he did not go into the silver
or tariff questions, he got there all toe
same, and many a poor pee-wee wished he
had not spoken after he was wound up by
the curt and cutting sarcasm of the only
and original snoliygoster.
Col Lester was among his many
friends, but as this is his old home there
was do use of his speaking. He knows
our section is for him to a man except his
opponent, whose name vve do not now
recall.
GALLAGHEK LET HEK GO.
And Struck Mr. Bailey of Albany
With a Heavy Weight.
Albany. Ga . Sept. 19.—While Pittman
Bros.’ steam sausage mill in this city was
in operation to-day Weldon Byrd, a negro
boy, got one of his hands caught and cut
off in the mill and a subsequent amputa
tion was made necessary.
Boisey Bailey and J. G. Gallagher, two
white men, got into a difficulty to-day,
when Gallagher "let er go" at Bailey
with a heavy weight, inflicting a serious,
though not fatal, wound in the head.
Pierce County’s Big Rally.
Blackshcar, Ga., Sept. 19.—Pierce
county's big barbecue aud democratic
rally at this place to-day, was a signal
success in every particular. At 11 o’clock
Hon. H. G. Turner was introduced by Dr.
W P. Williams to the largest audience of
voters that has ever assembled at this
place to hear political questions discussed
in tne history of the town. For two
hours he discussed the two great issues
of the campaign—the tariff and finances.
His speech was generously applauded.
At the conclusion of Mr. Turner’s mas
terly effort Col. R. G. Mitchell, Jr.,
introduced Hon. William Y. Atkinson.
Mr. Atkinson very ably defended the
record of the Democratic party in this
state. For two hours he poured volley
after volley of hot shot into the populist
camp. He completely riddled the third
party platform, piank by plank, showing
the absurdity of their demands. It was
plainly evident that the crowd was demo
cratic. Every one knew it by the vigor
ousness of the applause.
After the speaking the crowd enjoyed
the barbecue and basket dinner.
This county is safely democratic.
Screven Solid for Democracy.
Oliver, Ga., Sept. 19.—The News is
right in saying that but very few negroes
pay any attention to the populist teach
ings This is especially true in Screven
county. It is not thought that the popu
lists have converted a single negro or a
democrat. The democrats are making
great preparations for the democratic
rally, which will take place here next
Saturday. Col. Eester, Col. Wade, Hon.
William Clifton and Col. Edward T. Be
- will be the speakers. Screven is
solid for democracy.
GAINESVILLE’S MINISTERS.
Four of Them Called to Other Cities.
Gainesville. Fla., Sept. 18.—The weather
here for the last two weeks has been very
unpleasant on account of the heavy rains,
that keeps every thing in a slop.
Four of the ministers of our town will
leave for other points, viz.: Rev. AT.
Sharp, rector of Holy Trinity, for New
York; Rev. A. B. Curry, of the Presby
terian church, for Birmingham, Ala.;
Rev. J. C. Newnan, of the Baptist church,
for Milledgeville. Ga.; and the Rev. P. J.
Lynch, of the Catholic church has been
ordered to some other point by bis bishop.
Our ministers must be appreciated, as
they seem to be sought after by other
communities.
The Gainesville, Rocky Point and Mi
canopy railroad is progressing very
rapidly and is now ironed to within three
miles of Mieanopy, and will reach there iu
time to haul the orange crop.
There are two large packing houses
already erected at Mieanopy, on the line
eg ibis road, close to the proposed depot.
The Bell Telephone Company will
shortly put in a telephone exchange.
Quite a number of western people are
here seeking locations. This is unusually
early for parties to come here.
Politics in Manatee County.
Braidentown, Fla. Sept. 19.—Mopday
witnessed one of the most exciting scenes
in the history of Braidentow n and Mana
tee county, being the day for holding pre
cinct meetings over the county to cle t
delegates to the county convention to as
semble at tile court house to nominate a
democratic ticket, or a ticket for the
democrats to support. The voters of all
parlies were allowed or did participate,
consequently the populists are crowing
victory, as they claim they can beat any
disgruntled mixed ticket that can be
placed in the field.
A full independent ticket will probably
be put in the field and a hot tight will con
tinue up to the general election. Strong
friends heretofore are now avowed politi
cal enemies.
The Democratic party is in a critical
position in this county, as the doctrine of
democracy is no longer preached, but in
its place men are substituted. And the
county has been entirely ignored by the
state and congressional canvassing com
mittee.

SOUTH CAROLINA COTTON.
Less Damage Reported From Rust
and 801 l Worms.
Columbia. S. C., Sept. 16.—There wss
less than the usual amount of rain since
the last report, taking the state as a
whole, but in places, notably Beaufort
county, on Sept 13. and in the middle and
upper portions of the slate on Sept. 10.
tnere were heavy rains in the form of
thunderstorms On the night of Sept. 11
there were light, scattered showers over
the entire state, but generally insufficient
in amount to be of any appreciable bene
fit.
The weather favored cotton picking,
which is being pushed rapidly, as the
bolls, under the influence of the hot, dry
weather, continue to open very fast: one
report states that the entire crop in that
section is in sight, open and ready to be
. picked By far the greater portion of the
crop will be of July fruitage as. owing to
growth having practically stopped every
where. the bolls ff August fruitage are
maturing sma.l and early, this being most
noticeable on sandy land. The lint is said
, to be short but is being secured in fine
; condition and grades generally from low
' middling to middling. With but few
scattered exceptions the estimates place
the crop at from two-thirds to three
fourths of an average one. Less damage
is indicated than heretofore reported thi6
week from rust, shedding and boll worms,
the latter, however, have appeared in
counties where they were never before
known.
But little sea island cotton is being
marketed.

A NEW MIRACLE.
Sarah Arter, Paralyzed and Suffering
From Cancer, Completely Cured at
Lourdes.
BV THE REV E. MARTIN.
From the London Tablet.
The following is an account of a won
derful cure of a young woman living in
the neighborhood of Eltham. who has
lately been to Lourdes with the French
National Pilgrimage. The young woman
and her mother came to live at Eltbam
last April. Before they lived in South
Kensington. Since they settled here I
have been a constant visitor at their
house, and what 1 shall state I have
either seen or have learned directly from
themselves 1 will endeavor to tell the
facts without. I hope any exaggeration.
Indeed the truth is so wonderful that it
does not need any addition of mine.
Sarah Arter, aged 35, has been suffer
ing more or less since she was is with
some disease of the stomach. As to the
precise nature of the disease the doctors
did not seem to agree. Some said it was
cancer in the stomach: others a tumor;
others ulcers. She had been an inmate
of several hospitals: among others St.
George’s five times, and the Cancer hos
pital once. At the latter they said it
was cancer of the stomach, and treated
her for it. The symptoms seemed to fa
vor that opinion. She was habitually in
great pain, and for years had taken no
food without vomiting directly after
ward. She could not even keep down a
cup of tea and bread and butter. At
times she would vomit blood, which
had a fetid odor. Besides this dis
ease of the stomach, she was quite
paralyzed from the hips downward.
This paralysis came on by degrees.
Ten years ago she began to lose the use
of her legs, but walked with two crutches
till five years next November.' when she
lost the use of her legs entirely, and has
been bedridden ever since. One leg then
became contracted. They measured her
at the cancer hospital, and said one leg
was two inches shorter than the other.
She also had the last bone of her spine
projecting, and this caused her additional
su.lering. The doctors at the hospitals
told her that they could do nothing more
for her. and they seem to have tried al
most everything. Three years aeo, Dr.
Foulerton put a tube down her throat into
the stomach to wash it out, and for three
weeks administered her food by means of
injections. Having been told by the doc
tors that she was incurable, she sought
for help from him who can give it if he
wifi. She at length decided to go to
Lourdes and ask the intercession of our
Blessed Lady, that if it were God s will
she might be cured. At the same time
she was quite resigned to suffer and die
if God willed it. When she told Dr.
Foulerton, who is a Protestant, that she
was going to Lourdes, he laughed at
the idea, because he naturally did
not belisve in the miracles of Lourdes.
He used to say to her in joke, “Well,
Sarah, if you are cured at Lourdes, I shall
believe in the Catholic church.” But
what an undertaking this journey was for
her! She au invalid, who could not even
stand, poor, and her mother who looked
after her, 70 years of age. She used to
employ her lime while in bed in doing
needlework and sold the work to make up
au income. Out of her earnings she tried
to save up enough to take herself and her
mother to Lourdes, and determined to go
this next September. Fortunately, how
ever, she had some kind of friends, and
they arranged for her to go with the
trench National Pilgrimage, which
leaves Paris every year about Aug, is
They also paid her fare to Paris and sent
Sister Julienne of the "Bon Secours,’’
Haverstock Hili, with her to wait on her.
Since this sister was French and could
speak English perfectly, she was well
suited in every way for the task. Miss
Arter was accepted by the committee of
the National Pilgrimage and was told to
be at Paris by Aug. 18 to travel in the
white train. The white train is one
which takes all the great invalids It is
well described by M. Zola in his recent
no>el “Lourdes.’’
She now began to prepare for her jour
ney; since Sister Julienne was going to
take her, we all thought that there was
uo need for her mother or any one else to
go with her. All we could do was to help
her with our prayers. She made a gene
ral confession and prepared for death if it
should be Cod's holy will to take her; for,
numauly speaking, it was madness for
her, in her weak state, to undertake that
journey She received holy communion
on tlie feast of tbe Assumption, and the
next day, Aug. ltt, after the prayers and
blessing given in the ritual, started by the
11 o'clock train for Pans. I myself and
a few other friends saw her and Sister
.lulieune off from Cannon street. She had
to be carried in an Invalid chair to the
carriage, and from the train to the boat. I
must admit that when I said good-by to
them at the station she w as so weak that I
felt grave doubts as to whether she would
ever reach Lourdes. They got as far as
Paris the same day. more dead than
alive, and after being put to bed she re
mained there all the next day. till Sat
urday afternoon, when the white train
started for Lourdes. It was arranged that
the white train should stop at Poitiers,
which is half way. from Sunday morning
till the following day. to give '.be pilgrims
time to rest. She was so ill when they
arrived at Poitiers that she had to be car
ried on a stretcher to the convent of the
Sacred Heart, w here one of ber friends.
Mrs Munster, had arranged for her and
the sister to be lodged. When they ar
rived at the convent sae was too ill to be
taken up to the bedroom which had been
prepared for her, so tne good nuns had a
bed put up for her in ihe - hoo.room on
the ground fioor. After resting ail day
Sunday they v.ere to ; roceea to Lourdes
the following day. On Sunday morning
it was decided togive the holy communion
by way of viaticum, for it was considered
very doubtful whether she would Over
arrive at Lourdes alive. Xo sooner had
she received our Lord than she. as it
were by inspiration, got up and knelt
down Finding she could stand and walk,
she went and knelt at the little altar
which had been prepared for the blessed
sacrament. The priest, followed by all
the nuns, had by this time gone to ad
minister the holy communion to another
pilgrim, who was ver,. iil in a room above.
We can imagine the astonishment of the
sisters when they returned and found the
dying pilgrim out of bed and kneeling at
the little altar some distance off. After
making her thanksgivings she dressed
and walked to the chapel, which was
some distance from the room she was in:
and there the candles were lit and a Xe
Deum sung by all the community to
thank God for so great a favor. She
walked by herself, but felt weak. At the
same time as she regained the use of her
limbs thd bone in her spine returned to
its proper place, and she felt no more
pain ir the back. Xow the malady in the
stomach seemed to increase, and she suf
fered the most acute agony on the journey
from Poitiers to Lourdes The train ar
rived at Lourdes about 5 o’clock on
Tuesday morning, and she was taken as
soon as possible to the grotto and put
into the Piscine. Xo sooner was she in
the water than all the pain in her stom
ach disappeared and she felt quite cured.
Since she was with the pilgrims of the
white train her lodgings was at the
Hospital des Doulers.
They now lost no time in letting us hear
of the cure. Her poor mother nearly
fainted when I told her that her daughter
was cured. She, who a few hours before
could not eat the least thing without vom
iting. now found the food given to the pa
tients at the hospital insufficient; so the
Sister took her to the restaurant at the
Hotel d’Angleterre, where she devoured
two helpings of chickens, bread and
beans, and drank four cups of tea. She
walked from there back to the grotto,
which is a quarter of a mile, and then to
the bureau to be examined by the doc
tors She was interviewed by a great
number of doctors, who. after reading the
certificate of he* malady which she had
brought from London, examined her and
pronouncod her cured She had to leave
the certificate with the doctors, but as
far as she can remember it ran as fol
lows:
I have known and attended Sarah Arter for
three years, during the whole of which time
and for some years previously, she has been
quite confined to her bed with loss of power
and wasting of the lower limbs. Added to
this she suffers from ulcers in the stomach,
which were the cause of great sufferii g. and
are incurable. Alexander Foulkrtun.
122 Brompton Road.
Without a certificate from a doctor
saying she was incurable, I do not think
she would have been accepted by the
committee to travel by the white train.
Miss Arter returned on Monday last, got
out of the train, walked down the plat
form, and mounted unaided the steps of
the bridge at New' Eltham station. She
who ten days before wa3 nearly dead
with fatigue of the journey from London
to Paris now returned cured and
none the worse for traveling from Paris,
which she left at 11 o'clock that morning.
1 saw her home, she ate a good
supper of cold meat and pastry
and drank a bottle of stout.
She nas every day gained
fiesh and strength and walks
abouts, but still weak. I have
nothing more to add, except that
what 1 have written is the simple truth
without, I hope, any exaggeration. Let
others think what they like of this cure,
I, for my part, believe it to boa miracle.
Before sending this account I have been
to read it over to Miss Arter, to be sure
that there was no mistake, and sne tells
me that Dr. Sturgesof New Eitham. who
has attended her since she came here,
saw her this morning and said ho could
only regard it as a miracle, and that he
will give her a certificate to say that
what she was suffering from could not be
cured by any natural means.
WAYS OF THE POMPANO.
He Is a Frisky Jumper as Well as De
licious Food Fish.
From the New York Sun.
One of the most delicious food fishes of
the semi-tropics is the pompano. In size
and shape he is not unlike the flounder of
the northern estuarie*. but, unlike the
flounder, he swims edgewise instead of
flat on, his belly. In color his scales are
gray, white, grayish blue, and golden yel
low, and when ho leaps from the water,
as he frequently does, the glinting of the
golden scales in the sunlight iorms a
beautiful sight. A traveler just returned
from Lake Worth, on the lower east coast
of Florida, writes: “As we approached
the mouth of the canal the fish appeared
to bo more numerous, and they made long
jumps into the air all about us. They
were chiefly mullet and pompano, and
once I counted five in the air at the same
time.
“Before we reached the dredgeboat. six
miles from the foot of the lake, we had
four pompano. all of which had lumped
from the water and landed ac cidentally
in the bottom of our boat. One of them
struck our boatman, Ben Able, in the
breast, atid the blow was of sufficient
force to nearly wind him for a minute.
Since ice factories have been established
along the Indian river aud on Lake
Worth, pompano are shipped to the north
ern markets in large quantities, Tliay
'run' throughout the year, but make the
best eating during the winter months. - ’

and 1 think I have succeeded in getting to

whole assortment I think the chameleon

of this Insect was highly interesting to me

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly usea. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,

ana permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts oc the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
