Rev. 3. W. Burke, of Macon, had a
severe attack Wednesday afternoon and
Wednesday night of what seemed to bo
asthmatic trouble and congestion. Ho
was unable to articulate for a while, and
his general condition was alarming. Med
ical attention was promptly given, and
watchers remained by his bedside all
night. He was better Thursday. Mr.
Burke has not been In good health lately,
and lost week he and Mrs. Ilurke went to
Indian Spring. He did not Improve, and
Mr. Burke said he felt that If he did not
return home at once he would die. Mr.
and Mrs. Burke, therefore, returned to
Macon. He went down town and consult
ed a physician. In the afternoon the first
attack came on, and this was followed by
a second attack after supper. •
The people of Madison are somewhat
excited over the presence of a strange
animal, which for want of a more defi
nite appelatlon, is being generally dis
cussed as the "dog eater.’’ Some nights
ago Louis Cohen had a litter of pups
devoured by this animal. Nothing was
left but the feet. On the same night Mat
Martin lost a litter and since several other
canine households have been broken up
w ith only the feet left to tell the tale. In
several instances large dogs have been
known to leave the homes of their mas
ters, howling in terror and to return late
the succeeding day. This universal fear
among the canines of the otty caused
many citizens to refuse to believe that
the "dog eater” is a dog. Some think there
is a panther In town, others a wild cat,
others a wolf, and so on. A majority, how
ever, beneve that the dog eater is nothing
but a half-famished dog.
The Atlanta Woman’s Suffrage Associa
tion held a meeting at the Unitarian

legislative committee appointed is to con
sider and report upon any legislative mat
ters, state, municipal, or otherwise. The
other committee appointed was for the
purpose of ascertaining the number of wo
men tax payers In Atlanta and the amount
of taxes paid by them. There was also a

Augusta Evening Herald: There is r.t
the Bon-Alr the gentleman who first in
troduced the cooking stove Into the south
ern states, and built the Augusta hotel and
the Warren block His name is W. H. Sal
isbury, and he is now a resident of Chi
cago. In 1849 he was sent to Augusta from
Providence, R. I. When he first came there
were no cooking stoves in the city. His
wife sent to her home In Rhode Island
and had one shipped. The word began to
get around, and soon people came pouring
in asking MV. Salisbury to order a stove
for them. In consequence of this great
demand he went into the stove business
and remained in- it until the beginning of
tho war, when he went to Massachusetts
He said incidentally that he sold a stove
once to a farmer and about two weeks
after the farmer came driving up in his
wagon, bringing the stove hack with him.
He asked the dealer to please give him
something else In place of it, as It raised
so much smoke that it ran all the negroes
oft of the plantation. On Investigation it
was found that the man had buiit the fire
in the even.
Dr. George F. Payne of Atlanta, the
state chemist, is working in behalf of
pharmacists who are Sn the United States
army and navy. At the last meeting cf
the American Pharmaceutical Associa
tion, which was held at Asheville. ,\. p
he was appointed chairman of the coim
mittee to tee what could be done toward
getting recognition for the pharmacists
who enlist in the army. Every day Dr
Payne is receiving letters from all parts of
the country In regard to this matter as
there was appointed a member from every
state in the unton. The Idea is to get con
gress to pass an act raising the pharma
cist above the level of the private soldier
In Europe pharmacists enter the armv
with the rank of second lieutenant anil
they can .go as high as major general In
America pharmacists can only enter the
army as a private soldier and they receive
for their work only thirty dollars a month
It will take a pharmacist twenty years to
get up high enough to receive a saiarv of
fifty dollars a month. The pharmacists
are agitating the question and it is hlghiy
probable that the next congress will do
something to help them.

He gave some excuse and told him to go

anybody about it," said Mr. Morgan,
"hut the next morning ml.*, the negroes

The pineapple plants one not all killed
In Orange county. Mrs. Talmage, who
owns quite an extensive pinery, finds that
most of her plants are putting up strong
suckers and giving good promise of early
fruit. In cases where roots are alive
the tendency of the plants will he to
throw up numerous suckers, and In thin
way the multiplication of plants will fn
great measure compensate for loss of
fruit. Plants of the five varieties such as
are grown at Orlando are In great de
mand and readily soli for high figures.
The growers may find themselves in gr-at
luck by having a largely increased sup
ply of plants vyiith which to fill tlvgir
orders.

BALLOT FOR WOHEIt,
The Motler Being Considered By
I,ending Men In South Carolina.
Columbia, 8. C., March 29.—Half a doxen
years ago to have asked the question,
"Shall South Carolina women vote?”
would have been sufficient to gain for one
the reputation of a crank or a freak but
to-day the question has assumed a living
and active interest. It ts not probable In
deed, that woman suffrage Is a reality of
the immediate future, because the majori
ty of the women themselves are as yet op
posed to It perhaps, but It is receiving se
rious thought from public men, especially
with regard to its bearing on the problem
of negro majorities. Senator Tillman was
recently reported as In favor of putting
the ballot Into the hands of women who
can read and write and It was said that he
argued that It would then be possible to
disfranchise a large proportion of the
negro vote by an educational qualification
without the state's suffering a cutting
down of Its representation In congress.
When during the session of 1893 Gen.
Robert R. Hemphill of Abbeville intro
duced In the state senate a bill providing
for a constitutional amendment giving
women the ballot, the proposition was re
ceived with considerable levity, but when
the vote was taken It developed surprising
strength. Since then such papers as the
Abbeville Medium, the Florence Times and
tho Sumter Freeman, all of them influen
tial county weeklies, have openly espoused
the cause and numbers of others give It a
mild encouragement, while the Columbia
State, a leading dally, has not been un
friendly to It.
The approach of the constitutional con
vention has Infused new interest In the
subject and the South Carolina Equal
Bights Association, of which Mrs. V. D.
Young of Fairfax. 8. C., Is president, has
perfected arrangements to have it thor
oughly discussed throughout the state.
Mrs. Young Is the pioneer of the move
ment in the state and Is a woman of tal
ent. having written several novels of note.
Mrs. Y’oung says that the National
Woman's Suffrage Association will send
Miss Elizabeth Yates of Maine to make a
canvas of the state. Miss Yates was form
erly a missionary to China and is said to
be a woman of charming personality and
an attractive and magnetic speaker. She
thoroughly understands southern condi
tions and will advocate female suffrage
with an educational qualification.
Miss Helen Morris Lewis of Asheville,
N. C., has already made several speeches
and Is expected to be active In the cam
paign. Miss Lewis is a native of Charles
ton and is a member of one of the old
South Carolina families.
Another speaker will be Miss Laura
Clay of Louisville, Ky., who has the rep
utation of being a fervid and stirring ora
tor. The campaign will begin In April
and Miss Yates will speak first In tho
northern counties. Mrs. Young expects
to acocmpany her to several of her ap
pointments.
Mrs. Young says that the Equal Rights
Association now numbers 120 active work
ing members and that in Beaufort. Fair
fax, Greenville, Columbia, Lexington and
Abbeville are considerable groups of
woman suffragists, while there are smaller
groups In many towns ami cities. She
says that the movement Is rapidly gaining
strength, and that frequent additions are
made to the association by letter.
"Tho constitutional convention will be
asked,” says Mrs. Young, "to allow women
to vote, coupling the provision with an ed
ucational qualification or tf not that, a
property qualification.” While It is not
likely that this request will be acceded to
It is believed that the convention will
leave the matter open to future legislation
by the general assembly, making the ex
tension of the suffrage to women possible
without a constitutional amendment.
AILSA AGAIN THE HIMfGR.
The Britannia Might Have Won Bat
For Accidents.
Nice, March 29 —The Britannia was
beaten to-day over a triangular course
of thirty mile®, with eight turns, by the
Alisa In a piping breeze, through white
capped seas. The Britannia had bad luck;
otherwise the result might have been
different. The race was for prizes of
fered by James Gordon Bennett, a cup
valued at £SOO and a purse
of 500 sovereigns. The yachts
approached the line with their
topmasts housed. The Britannia hod a
reef In her mainsail and carried her stay
sail and a small Jib. The Alisa, being
somewhat tenderer, had her mainsail
double-reefed, but carried the same head
sails as her rival.
The wind was very strong from the
southwest. It was a flying start. The
Alisa was handled more cleverly than
the Britannia, and got the weather
gauge on her a* they crossed the line
on a close reach to the first mark.
The Alisa had thirty seconds the bes*
of the start, arid kept ahead throughou'
On the second relief, while running be
fore the wind, the Britannia's spinnaker
halyards parted, and the big sail was
carried away. By an accident In the flrst
round the Britannia also lost a little time
to her rival by the parting ut her Jib
halyard*. This -occurred while she was
working to windward ,
Toward the last part of the race, the
a-lnd moderated somewhat and shifted to
the south. In the final leg to the home
mark, the Alisa maintained her lead,
which was partly due to the mishaps of
the Britannia, but did not gain apy The
Alisa vanquished the Britannia without
taking into consideration time allowance
by two minutes and seven seconds.
