CRIED IN the COIRT ROOM. I
Wile of W. J. PoythVt
grritks Don* In Narrating Her
>1 nn V tt rons*.
- has rarely l>een a case in the su
-OUi; which aroused so much in
anti pity as that of Mrs. Annie
~ , ~,.s s against her husband,
u j. Poythress, which came
yesterday for a -hearing
a suit for total divorce. The
, IV little woman was put to a trying
siin'inatlon on the witness stand in re
j as the wrongs which had been done
r the strange part of the case was
, t>ie husband was not there to hear
,1,-wer the narration of his wife's
.'"ir.ccs. His attorney pursued the de
-,. 1 in his absence.
M Poythress is a prepossessing and
y aether' winsome little woman, and her
"|. nt modesty and fervor made, her a
attractive and extremely earnest
She told of the cruel treatment
vhtcii she hud suffered at the hands of
nusband. How he has continuously
lattge, 1 at her with little picayunlsh de
un -. how he ftas quarreled and sworn
, ner,’ and refused to allow her to eat
, |„ st things she would put on the ta.
~nd cursed at her when she had on
a occasion taken the only egg in the
.. and cooked it for her child to eat,
il l how by countless other exactions he
la- 5 annoyed her; how he has failed to sup.
„,n her and clothe her properly; how she
, ; take some of her wedding dresses
0 make ciothing for her child, and thus
leny herself.
■Heaven knows I have done all I could
o hour it," she finally said in telling her
id story, her cheeks reddening with
h, tinge of pride and anguish. “Heaven
in ,-.wa I tried every way I knew hoiv to
t void getting a divorca, for 1 know the
iimiidation it would bring me to and
eve a if X don't get my divorce I shall tell
nothing but the truth, and then the half
Bill not be told.”
lit re the pretty plaintiff broke down and
cried like a. child. Her sincerity was he
ron I question. Her case was easily her
triumph. The jury was not out five min
uns in bringing in the verdict In her be
half, granting total divorce, this being the
first verdict in the case.
W. J. Poythress is the man who was re
cently brought before a court of justice on
a most heinous charge, but was acquitted.
He was accused of having criminally as
saulted a very young white girl. His at
torney raised the point in his defense yes-
Krd.iy that after a lengthy spell of sick
ness he has not been in his right mind
and is threatened with lunacy.
TRAFFIC MEN TO ATLANTA.
Kailroatl Commission to Hear Mitn
sun's Petition.
Traffic Manager E. H. Hinton and Gen
eral Freight Agent W. A. Winhurn of the
Central railroad and General Freight and
Passenger Agent A. Pope of the Georgia
and Alabama railway left last night for
Atlanta, where they go to appear before
the railroad commission in the matter of
the petition of the town of Dawson. The
board of trade of that place has appealed
to the commission to readjust the rates
to Dawson, claiming that discrimination
is made in favor of Albany.
| The meeting of the commission will be
I 'held to-day. The Central and the Georgia
and Alabama are the only roads directly
interested in the case, and will be the only
ones represented before the commission.
The Dawson people may get the readjust
ment of rates they desire. If they make
one i strong case before the commission
and show that their claims are Just, the
railroad people will not fight their peti
tion Asa traffic official stated last night,
tlte rates were established years ago, and
through the changes In the condition of
tirs in that (tart of the country it Is not
impossible that some discrimination may
now exist against Dawson that did not

comes with a rush. Consumption has beer
frequently pronounced incurable. It is not.
It may be stopped—warded off—at almost
any stage. But if the sufferer neglects to
take the proper remedy in the proper way,
dec.th is swift and certain.
Consumption like almost all manner of
disease has its inception in a trio of all
embracing disorders. They are “imper
fect digestion," “irregular' bowels,” and
“impure blood.” They are triplets. One
is dependent for existence upon the other.
Cure one. cure all. Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery is the best of all known
remedies for this disorder. It corrects dis
ordered digestion, invigorates the liver,
regulates the bowels, makes the blood pure,
and the nerves strong. It is the great blood
maker and flesh-builder. It makes the
muscles firm and springy. It soothes and
invigorates the nerves. It tones up body
and brain. It cures ninety-eight per cent,
of all cases of consumption.
Mrs. Rebecca F Gardner, of Grafton, York
Cos., Va., writes: “ When T was married I weigh
ed one hundred and twenty-five pounds I was
taken sick and reduced in health and broke out
with a disease which my doctor said was eczema.
He treated my disease but failed to do me any
pood, and I fell away to 90 pounds. I began us
ing Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discover}', and
thank God and you. I began to improve. When
I began taking the ‘ Discovery ’ my weight was 90
pounds and now I weigh 140 pounds and have
only taken two tiottles. I cannot say too much
about the medicine. My husband is'ope of the
happiest men in the world He says I look
younger than f did the first time he ever saw me.
and that was fifteen years ago. Well, doctor. I
am a well woman, and do all of my housework,
tend to my fowls and cow and do some work in
the garden. It isa miracle that lam cured.”
Health and happiness formed a partner
ship in the garden of Eden. It has never
been dissolved. You cannot have one with
out the other. Constipation is the usual
cause of ill health. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant
Pellets are tiny, sugar-coated granules.
They cure constipation. One is a gentle
laxative, and two a mild cathartic. They
never gripe. Druggists sell them.
CITY BREVITIES.
Nine negroes were sentenced to pay a
fine of $lO each or spend ten days on the
gang by Recorder Hartridge yesterday,
for gambling in a house in Yamacraw.
Two of them paid up.
One of, if not the largest rattlesnake
ever seen in this county, was killed near
Sandfly station on Saturday by Mr. W. F.
Chaplin, superintendent of the county
work. The snake had eighteen rattles on
it. It is on exhibition at Barbee & Ban
dy’s store at Isle of Hope.
A change in the Plant system schedules
will go into effect next Sunday. The only
instance in which Savannah will be af
fected is in the time of passenger train
No. 21 leaving the city. This will be at
4 instead of 4:40 p. m„ as is now the leav
ing time. The train will run every day in
the week under the new schedule, instead
of merely on the week days.
Assistant General Passenger Agent H.
C. McFadden of the Plant system receiv
ed a cluster of pineapples from Fort
Meade, Fla., yesterday that is either a
curiosity or a monstrosity. The fruit has
grown out In all directions from one point
and the result is a circular pineapple of
about twelve inches diameter and about
six inches in thickness. A fringe of the
prickly leaves encircles the fruit.
An even dozen of English and Irish
sailors faced the recorder yesterday
morning, and later contributed $5 each to
the city's exchequer, all because the lads
mistook the Sailor’s Home for an old time
sailor boarding house, and engaged in
a devil of a row. When Policeman Mc-
Hugh appeared they paid no respect to
his blue uniform and brass buttons, but
turned their billingsgate upon him. Re
corder Hartridge at first assessed the
crowd $lO each, but later cut the fines
in half.
Considerable excitement was created
yesterday afternoon on West Broad street
by the arrest of a young white man, It.
G. Fordham, for striking a colored wo
man, Rilla Resen. Both the man and the
woman were taken to the barracks and
charged with fighting on the street.
The trouble, it was stated, was about an
account. The young man struck the wo
man on the nose with his right fist and
both the nose and the knuckle were cut.
A considerable crowd of negroes gathered
while the arrival of the patrol wagon was
being awaited, and mutterings against
the young man were general.

POPE LEO'S SI >1 HER LIFE.
\\ riling- More Latin Poetry and
Studying I p Arbitration.
From the Pall Mali Gazeltej-
Notwithstanding the intense heat, which
in Rome this year has really assumed ex
traordinary proportions, Leo XIII. main
tains his usual health, feeling, indeed,
rather better and stronger than in the
winter. His holiness pttsses Hie hot hours
of the day in the apartment espeeiallly
prepared for him in the tower of Leo IV.
in the Vatican gardens, where, by reason
of the thickness of the walls, the temper
ature is always fresh. Prof. Lapponi, his
personal doctor, has often remarked to me
that the summer seems to benefit him,
and that the season to lie feared is the
winter, when it is almost impossible to
keep an even temperature in the immense
apartments of the Vatican, and to prevent
draughts, the lightest of which is fell by
his holiness. Besides this, the pope leads
in the summer months, without doubt, n
much easier life than in the winter, lie
cause of the comparatively smail amount
of business to be transacted anti the al
most entire suspension of the function
and receptions, which are for him most
exhausting.
Now the pope rises rather early, and
immediately receives a resume of news
coming from all parts of the word, pre
pared purposely for him in the moat con
densed form by a special office in ihe Vat
ican, which works from midnight until his
hour for receiving it, summarizing it from
telegrams, litters and newspaiers. The
general outlook over the world is shortly
after completed by a visit from Cardinal
Rampolla. with whom he discusses the
most important affairs. After a frugal
breakfast, accompanied by his private at
tendant, he descends to the garden and is
driven to the tower of Lto IV., escorted
only by a member of the Noble Guard,
with whom he converses amiably shout
the doings and gossip of the town. He
usually descends from the carriage to take
a walk in the lower garden, which, though
not large, is bright with blossoms, and in
which he is said to take a great interest.
He occupies himself also with the growth
of his grape vines, speaking pers ••tally on
the subject with his gardeners. Grapes
are among his favorite fruit, especially
the pizzutello, an oblotfg white grape,
found almost exclusively near Rome. In
the lower he attends only to ecclesiastical
or literary work, especially Latin poetry,
in which he is such an adept, and a little
before sunset returns as he came to the
Vatican palace. If nothing of great im
portance has occurred he is not disturb
ed with politics until the next morning.
It is asserted that the poi>e’s attention
at present is again directed toward the
subject of international arbitration, of
which he is such a staunch advocate, and
which he considers a principle peculiarly
appertaining to the domain of the papacy.
He says that the duty of the common
Father of the Faithful and the head of
Catholicism is to work for the establish
ment of permanent peace among nations.
He seems to think that the concert of
powers which has so long succeeded in
remaining unanimous, is a step toward the
realization of it s cherished ideal.
SCHOOL.
Important to Parents.
Few matters are of more importance
than the selection of a school you wish to
attend or send your children, as such se
lection is likely to involve consequences
that are life-long. Such a step should not
be taken hastily. The best way is to see for
ones self or see someone who has seen.
To this end prospective students ot Rich
mond’s Business College are cordially In
vited to visit tiie institution and see what
it is and what it does.
Many pupils who have not succeeded well
in other schools have here achieved re
mark.! bie success, much lo their own grat
ification and that of their parents.
It Is well-known that the college course
of study furnishes practical education of
great value to those who have either lack
ed or neglected early opportunities, and
who find their Ignorance not only a con
stant source of nuinillation, but a block of
advancement.
Owing to the growth of the college the
past two years the principal has found It
necessary to increase its facilities and to
that end it will occupy the entire third
floor arid a portion of the second floor of
the present postofifiee building, where each
departm'-nt will have separate rooms and
tie in charge of a thorough and competent
teacher.
Th* English branch department will lie
under the supervision of Prof. D.W.Camp,

II W as a I’oiver In New England anil
the African Slave S'rude.
From the Brockton, .Mass , Times
The jiower of rum as a commercial fac
tor in tho colonies was at its bight about
1730. That year the royal treasury report
gave sixty-three distillers in Massachu
setts turning molasses into rum. This
formed the store for about 9a v. -si is en
gaged in various branches of trade—Jtl> in
cod fishing, 200 mackerel .fishing, lq) whal
ers. etc. Newport kept pace reiatlv* ly
with Boston. Refuse codfish paid for
much of the molasses.
Connecticut attempted to prohibit dis
tilling, because it made molasses scare,
but the prohibition was very hastily stop
ped whin tl\e citizens found that busi
ness went where rum could !*■ obtained.
Rum proved the best New England com
modity in all trading operations. Rum
was the Indian's choice, in tact, his only
acceptance, as payment for his peltries; it
was chosen with equal eag. riters by Hie
Virginian or Carolinian in 1 xchunge for
ilia tobacco. The Newfoundland fisher
men wished it in return for codfish, and,
most Important of all, on the Guinea coast
New England rum entirely vanquished
French brandy as am edlum for acquiring
s aves. Tho commerce in runt and slaves
afforded all the ready money that paid
for any merchandise in England, it was
the driving power of all commercial ma
chinery. The circuit was powerful at ev
ery step. The vankee vessel laden with
home made rum sailed to the African
coast. The rum was bartered to great ad
vantage for negroes. Tin* negroes were
carried to and sold at a large profit at the
West Indies, and Its distillation in New
port and Boston started afresh the round
of New England money-making. Some
times trade was so brisk that the market
was stripped of rum.
in the 1752 Isaac Freeman wanted a car
go of rum for the African trade. He sent
to Newport, where were then thirty great
rum distilleries in full blast. His corre
spondent wrote that he could not have it
for three months. "There are so many
vessels loading for Guinea we can't get
our hogsheads of rum for cash. We have
been lately to New London and all along
lite seaport towns in order to purchase
molasses, but we can’t get on.' hogshead."
The shipmasters were not shove water
ing the rum to make it go as far as pos
sible. Old Merchant Potter instructed ills
captains to “trade with the blacks, worn r
ye rum as much as possible, and sell as
much by short messur as you can.”
—Mnj, McClattghry, superintendent of
the state penitentiary at Joliet. 111., who
started a school in the prison for the ben
efit of convict women some time ago, is
much eti,ouraged at the success of the
innovation. Women, it is said, who have
been a terror to society hi Chicago are
likely to be regenerated by the slate-pen
cil and tile spelling book.
