A iia, Ga.. Nov. 12.—Senator Yancey
Ca ter, the populist leader, took a news
paper nan to task in the Senate to-day,
maK,i i; a lively incident in an otherwise
dull session. The Macon Telegraph of a
dav or two ago had the senator quoted in
a vv ay which was spicy enough to read,
but there was no truth in it, and as tfie
Btorv was calculated to. stir up strife be
tween himself and Hon. Tom Watson he
w .,„ u ,l ii corrected. His excuse for bring
ing it before the Senate was that the story
wa- lused upon his vote against the Tur
ner prohibition bill. In presenting the
map i to the Senate, Mr. Carter read the
following paragraph in the article as the
basis of his complaint: “In reply to the
ijia :y. how does Tom Watson feel toward
you now? the Hartwell man smiled a far
oft sort of smile that seemed to say that
‘Tom will roast me for that vote in the
next issue of his little paper.’ ‘Watson is
growing old,’ continued; Mr. Carter, 'and
he is like an old woman; he likes to spit
and fuss. He always had a jaundiced
liver, what is known in doctors vernacu
lar as a cirrhosis liver. Its a lamentable
disease. But for that, and the fact that
Tom is wormy on general principles, he
might have been a great man.’
Senator Carter said the paragraph did
him a great injustice, and that he took
advantage of the occasion to set himself
right in the matter, inasmuch as the paper
in which the article appeared had failed
10 print his denial. Mr. Carter said he
had used no such language, and that the
words quoted were not his own.
Senator Stewart, in behalf of E. P.
Speer, the correspondent who wrote the
article, offered a statement from
him, which, after- some' debate,
was withdrawn. at the request
of the latter, without being read.
“During a conversation I had with Sen
ator Carter, on last Monday,” said Mr.
Speer in this statement, “he stated to me
that he expected Tom Watson to roast
him in the next issue of his paper, because
of his vote against the Turner prohibition
bill. I could not have known of this con
templated roast, which, it seems, did ar
r.ve on schedule, unless I could have had
the information from the senator or Mr.
Watson himself, and as I have not seen
Mr. Watson, my recollection of. this mat
ter can be relied on. The language of the
concluding paragraph in my correspond
ence is my own. I tbink I suggested to
Senator Carter, during my talk with him,
that possibly the Watson liver was out
of order, and as he said nothing inT-eply,
I imagined that he acquiesced in the re
mark. As ho now denies that he ac
quiesced in it, I assume the language of
the paragraph.
Senator Carter stated subsequently
that his denial of the interview had in no
way been influenced by Mr. Watson's ar
ticle in this week's People’s Party Paper,
taking him and other senators to task
for their vote on the Turner bill.
The Senate passed a resolution, intro
duced by Mr. Flewellen of the Twenty
fifth, appointing a committee of five from
the Senate and ten from the House to
take into consideration the tax laws of
the state, and recommend such changes
as will better secure full returns, more
efficient performance Of the duties of re
ceivers and collectors, and to prepare and
present a bill or bills embodying the stflne.
Mr. Kemp of the 16th introduced a bill
to change and fix the time of holding tlje
superior courts of the counties of Wash
ington, Johnson, Tattnall, Bulloch, Eman

ties compose the middle Judicial district.
Other new hills were:

gun powder, and to provide penalties for
such infractions.

FROM PARALYSIS AND SIX YEARS OF CONVULSION^
little Fannie Adams, of Umatilla, Cured of a Dreadful Malady
A Cure of Unusual Interest—A Reporter Investigates.
From the Lake Region. Bustis, Fla.
For some time past the Lake Region has
been receiving reports from Umatilla, Fla.,
of an almost miraculous cure that hud been
effected in the case of Fannie Adams, a
daughter of A. J. Adams, of that place, and
Jast Saturday a representative of this paper
made a trip to Umatilla for the purpose of
determining the authenticity of the same.
The family live a short distance from the
village, where it was found that the people
were cognizant of the cure which had been
effected, and were rejoicing with the family
iu their new found happiness. The father,
A. J. Adams, is a nnrd-working honest
farmer from east Tennessee, and the family
came to Florida four years ago in the hope
that a change of climate would be of benefit
to their afflicted child. Much of their earn
ings have gone for doctors’ bills, whose ser
vices proved unavailing. The representative
was greeted by Mrs. Adams, front whom he
gained the story of her great trial.
Fannie, the youngest child, was born in
east Tennessee, and was seven years old on
the third day of February, 1897. When ten
months old the was stricken with paralysis,
which affected the entire left side. This
stroke of paralysis was followed by convul
sions, and from the time little Fannie was
ten months old until February, 1897, there
was not a single day or a night that she did
not have spasms of the most distressing
nature. Not a single convulsion, but al
ways three or four, and sometimes as high
as ten in one day.
The family was all broken down with
care, and Mrs. Adams states that for one
year she did not go into her kitchen to super
intend her household work. All the fingers
of the right hand of the little girl are en
larged and misshapen, caused "by her bit
ing them during the fearful suffering. The
case baffled the skill of the best physicians,
and they were frank to say that they could
LAKE MAITLAND LOCALS.
Tobacco Hie Fntnre Great Crop of
tlic State—The Orange Tree*.
Lake Maitland, Fla., Nov. 12.—William
Willett, the wealthy Englishman, who has
just returned to his $30,000 orange grove
on Lake Maitland, says he is sure that
Florida will become the greatest tobacco
state in the union and he is now prepar
ing to start into tobacco culture on five
acres as an experiment, employing an ex
pert to do the superintending of the work.
Smaller ventures are also projected in this
vicinity for the growing of fine tobacco.
Several of our farmers and fruit growers
are members of the Winter Park Horticul
tural Society, and in its last meeting
camphor culture had been discussed. T.
H. Chandler gave his experience as being
most satisfactory and Hon. H. 8. Chubb
reported on ins recent venture. This has
stirred up a few of our people to go into
the culture of camphor trees. For my
self, having limited and unsatisfactory ex
perience in the matter, I don’t think thers
is a fortune in the business, at least in
the jmmediate future.
Not a few of the orange growers are
finding out that their old trees are in dan
ger of losing their new growth, and they
are resorting to the slow and laborious
work of cutting out the dead trunks with
big chisels and mallets. In my case, I cut
my trees close to the ground soon after
the freeze, and now I have handsome, big
trees—no better of the kind in the state—
that spring up from the roots of the old
trees. I cut away, gradually, the surplus
shoots, until I had but one big healthy
shoot, which I trained into a thrifty tree.
Next year these trees will be in bearing,
and beyond the need of any special care.
On the other hand, the uncut trees, with
a mass of shoots ail around them, will
give trouble and need special care for
several years to come, while in the end
not a few of them will die out entirely.
Orange county criminal court is in ses
sion at Orlando this week, and it has vindi
cated fully the wisdom of our county com
missioners in giving liberal appropriations
to the new 'clay road from Orlando to
Sanford. Never before w-as there one-half
as much travel through Maitland as at
present. Hardly any one who can mus
ter up a vehicle or bicycle now uses the
railroad trains, preferring to come and go
on their own schedflles via the dirt roads.
The good roads movement in Orange coun
ty has been more in work than talk, and
a perfect revolution in travel is the result.
Other counties are “catching on” to our
success and will boom good roads wher
ever possible. One grand feature of the
clay road is in the opportunity it gives
every farmer on it for finding a home mar
ket for his farm products in Orlando or
Sanford. The drive is easy and short,
and one or two trips a week can be made
with profit. Last year two meat wagons
were peddling where this year there are
six—one of the results of good roads.
JAIL DELIVERY AT SPARKS.
-J
Bunine** Depressed by the Low
Price of Cotton.
(Sparks, Ga., Nov. 12.—Last night eight
prisoners, two white men find six negroes,
escaped from the county jail at Nashville.
After making their escape they cut the
telephone line between Nashville and
Sparks. This is the second complete jail
delivery that has occurred from this jail
this year.
S. A. Jehuhan. a merchant of Adel, had
his store robbed last night. It is prob
able that the robbery was" committed by
the escaped prisoners, as they came in this
direction. Efforts are being made to se
cure blood hounds, and if they are se
cured early enough, it may result in the
capture of both the prisoners and robbers.
The low price of upland, as well as sea
island cotton is having a very depressing
affect on business in this section. Inter
views with farmers from different sections
show that about 85 per cent, of the up
land crop, and at least 65 per cent, of the
sea island crop has been sold. Until about
a week ago fictitious values were paid in
Valdosta and throughout this section for
sea island cotton, which caused the crop
In Berrien, Colquitt and Lowndes coun
ties to be marketed very rapidly. The
above estimates are considered by those'
best posted as rather low for sea island,
and they think that 75 per cent, more
correct.

not determine the cause, or prescribe •
remedy to aid the afflicted child.
But what a change now iu that household:
for little Fannie has recently been released
from her six years of agony, which brings the
light ot happiness to the laces of the parents.
In January, this year, Mrs. Adams, who
had purchased some of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pule People for her fourteen year
old daughter, determined to try their effect
upon little Fannie. After three or four
doses, she noted an improvement and she
then told the father what she had done.
He at once went to the village and bought
another box, and up to this time six boxes
have been used. The first pills, Mrs. Adams
states, were given in January, the latter part,
and certainly not earlier than the fifteenth
or twentieth, and the child had her last con
vulsion on February 3d, nearly three months
ago. Her general condition lias improved in
every way, mid it was not a month after the
first pills were taken when she began to walk
without assistance.
The pills were bought at the drug store
of Dr. (Shelton, in Umatilla. In answer to
the question, did he, to his personal knowl
edge, know that the remedy had benefited
Fannie Adams, as was stated by her parents,
the doctor said that he was a regular practicing
physician, - and as such was loth to recom
mend any proprietary medicine, but still he
was ready to dojustice to all men. and ho did
know that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for,Pale
People had benefited Fannie Adams, and also
volunteered the information that he knew of
other children in the village who had been
benefited by their use.

MAKING A TIME TABLE.
An Interesting Game Played Only by
Railroad Officials.
From the Kansas City Star.
To the casual traveler a railroad time
table is a thing of dreadful mystery. If
he is going to Ponkapog, on the Skiuse di
vision of the X, Y and Z railroad, he
studies the time table to learn where his
train leaves and when it reaches his des
tination. After some inquiry he finds that
No. 4 departs at 7:40 o'clock p. m., and
he follows its course through numerous
towns to the end of the road, but discov
ers no seiftblance of Ponkapog, although he
knows it is on the X, Y and Z.
Half-way down the time table, however,
he finds a line drawn across where the
town of Zippity is reached at 11:30 o’clock
p. m. But the train departs also at 11:30
o’clock. This is a clew, for why should
Zippity be on the table twice at the same
hour? Ah, hah! Zippity is a junction
point, of course.
On the next page, after much search, he
finds the Skiuse division time table, and,
running his finger down it, discovers the
town of Ponkapog. The division begins
at Zippity and ends at Skiuse. His train
teaches Zippity at 11:30 o’clock p. m. The
division train departs at 4:38 o’clock p. m.,
and reaches Ponkapog at 7:22 o’clock. This
is not a pleasant outlook, but he has
unravelled the mystery of the time of his
departure from home and his arrival at
Ponkapog. It has taken a good half hour,
and he has cursed the maker of the time
table until he has a headache.
But a time table is easier cursed than
composed. The man who makes up a time
table plays a game that it not in Hoyle,
but which is more difficult than whist and
quite as interesting. It is a game in which
a number of trains going in opposite di
rections, and all starting from different
points at different times, reach their sev
eral destinations without destruction.
These trains must pass each other at giv
en points without delaying one another,
and special trains must not throw them
out of their running time to any unprofit
able extent.
How is the game played? The casual
man thinks of figures and eternal cipher
ing up nnd down the line, trying to keep
in mind a hundred stations, hundreds of
moves of trains and a thousand hours and
fractions of hours. If he keeps on he
will become a jibberlng idiot.
The ingenuity of man, however, has dis
covered a mechanical, and, therefore, a
simpler and suier plan for making up a
time card. The Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf railroad Is now making anew
time table of its whole line from Kansas
City to Port Arthur. This covers 788 miles
of track, over which twelve trains are
running and stopping at 132 stations, and
as many or more crossings, sidings and
water tanks. This is how it Is done:
The chief engineer prepares large dia
grams of the road. On the left side of
these are the names of all the stations and
sidings in rotation, beginning at Kansas
City and ending at Port Arthur. Run
ning across the diagram is the time, be
ginning at midnight and continuing until
midnight, ruled in hour 9. Between black
lines, running from top to bottom, ar*
the hours. inside of each hour are blue
lines indicating quarter hours, aud between
these red lines denoting five minute spaces.
In the middle of the board is the noon
line. To the right of tl?e diagram is a
profile of the road, showing all grades.
The time of all trains is based on and
must not interfere with the time of
through passenger trains. Passenger
trains are graded at twenty-four miles an
hour; fast freight trains at eighteen miles
an hour, and ordinary freight trains at
fifteen miles an ‘hour. The tim§ table is
made up by the superintendents and train
masters of the various divisions, and is
approved by the general manager of the
road.
The passenger business of the road has,
for instance, so Increased that anew time
table is necessary to handle it profitably.
The freight business demands more trains.
The general passenger and freight agents
notify the transportation department to
that effect, and anew time table is or
dered. The superlniendents then go to
work on It.
The diagrams of the road are tacked
on large boards. The most important
passenger train is taken as an index. It is
determined that it shall leave Kansas City
at 8:30 o'clock p. m„ for the reason that
at the rate of twenty-four miles an hour
it will reach the other terminus of the
road at 7:80 o’clock in the morning, at the
same time reaching eating stations along
the.xoad at reasonable hours. The arriv
al in Kansas City of trains on other rail
roads is alßo taken into consideration as
bringing in possible passengers, who must
be given plenty of time to go from one
depot to another.
Now, the departure ot No. 3, the most
important tra.n, having been decided, a
pin is stuck on the Kansas City line on
the diagram of the line that stands for
8:30 o’clock p. m. To It Is attached a
white thread. It is computed that this
train will, at the rate of twenty-four
miles an hour, reach a station 100 miles
away at about 12:33 o’clock a. m. The
line of 12:30 a. m. Is found on the dia
gram where it crosses the station line,
a pin is placed there, and the thread
stretched thereto from the pin at 8:30
o’clock on the Kansas City line. Thus the
angle of the thread, which represents the,
train's time at all points where stations
and time lines cross, Is established. At
a certain hour a iwssenger train leaves
the other end of the line and is treated In
the same manner on the dingram.
A fast freight having left the other end
of the line the day previous, the time hav
ing been followed along the diagram by a
black thread, crosses No. 4’s white thread
at a certain station half way down the di
ngram. It Is certain to delay the passen
ger If the lines cross at a certain point,
because of the superior time made by the
passenger train. So the freight’s thread
Is deflected, either faster or slower, to
meet the passenger train at another point,
the rules of the road MUng that a freight
train must be on a Siding ten minutes be
fore the arrival of the passenger. This de
flection of time is made by sticking pins
on certain time lines.
Now. suppose the threads of these two
trains should cross each other between
stations. The black thread is then shov
ed up so that it crosses the white thread
at a station. This may either increase or
retard the speed. When this is necessary
reference is made to the profile of the road
on the right side of the diagram. If the
road between these stations Is compara
tively level the time of the freight is in
creased from Us'rate of eighteen miles
on hour. If. on. the other hand, the pro
file shows a steep grade, the crossings of
the two threads is shoved down a station
to give the freight more time to make the
hill, while the time of the passenger train
is not disturbed.
In the meantime the threads of the other
passenger and freight trains have been
started out from both termini at varying
hours. Each takes an ungle based as was
that of No. 4 passenger on its running
time. In their course across the board
from their starting point to their desti
nation the thi%ade cross each other, each
making a crossing with every opposite
running thread at some point. The white
threads pass and run ahead of the black
threads wherever overtaken on the
boards; the black, threads always being
deflected from their time to allow the
white threads the right of way.
When an eating station is readied, at
which the train stops twenty minutes, the
time is preserved Correctly by running the
thread along the time line until it reaches
the leaving time, where it again takes up
its angle down the line.
Each thread has a lead plummet hang
ing to it which keeps it taut as it follows
its course over the pins stuck here and
there in the diagram.
When the trains havfe all been timed
from one terminus to another, and local
freights and “plug” passengers have been
strung in the middle, the board looks like
an immense cobweb of hodge-podge, In
stead of geometric lines.
Now comes the making up of the time
card.
The stations, with their distances from
Kansas City, have been written on a sheet
of ruled paper and designated as "tele
graph," "regular stop” or “flag” points,
with water tanks and sidings indicated.
Each train is numbered to the left and
right of the jiames of the stations and
all is ready tfffiime the trains. The super
intendent starts out with Kansas City at
8:30 p. m., then he’ ’lila’cCk’li’fs’finger on
the thread where Is crosses the next sta
tion line, observes the time lines, calls
the name of the stalion and the time,
which is recorded. And soon, following
the angle of the thread to the very last.
One thread after another is so followed
until all are down, w’hetl the station time
is proved by figuring distance and Tun
ing time, and is almost Invariably found
to be correct.
The schedule time of twenty-four miles
an hour Includes ail stops at stations,
consequently the actual running time of
the train is much faster.
On a great railroad system with double
tracks, hundreds of trains and numerous
branch lines, a complete change of time
Is a monumental work, and the change
of time of a few trains makes a serious
disturbance.
HUMAN SACRIFICES IN AFRICA.
Horrible Orgies I’nrtioipated In by
Fetish Worshiper*.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
London, Nov. 6,—Tho stories of horror
which came from Beniin, the city of blood,
are now repeated In the description of the
fetish worship and human sacrifices at
.the City of Bendi, an important trading
point, 100 miles inland from Opobo. The
town is the headquarters of the god,
“Long Juju,” and it Is to secure the favor
of this god that the human sacrifices have
been made by the head men of the tribe.
The only white men who have yet pene
trated to Bendi were two officials of the
Niger protectorate, who recently, by tak
ing advantage of the superstitious fear
of the natives, succeeded in reaching the
city. They were unable to reach the
scene of the fetish worship, which is some
little way out from the city itself, or to
witness the. orgies. Of which, however,
they were told by reliable natives.
Their expedition was under the guidance
of a native chief, who had enough expe
rience with the ways of civilization to
trick his more ignorant countrymen. Af
ter six days’ travel, the expedition reach
ed the first village in the country ruled
by the chief at Bendi. Here the natives
met the white men. and the chief of the
village coming forward, marched in a cir
cle, holding a skull In one hand. He called
down all sorts of curses on the heads of
the white men and proclaimed that, if
any ill befell a native during the visit of
the white men, the latter would be killed.
This ungracious reception stirred the
guide of the expedition to responsive ac
tion. Seizing a bottle of ordinary soda
water, he walked around in a circle, call
ing down equally ferocious curses uppn
the heads of the natives If any harm be
fell the white men during the visit. Ho
worked himself up. into a frenzy, and
when he finally ran out of breath and
curses he Jumped into the center of the
ring, cut the string on the soda water bot
tle, and the cork shot out with a report
whiclf sent the terrified natives flying In
nil directions, calling for protection from
■ the terrible god in a bottle brought by the
white men. This trick secured them a
safe passage through every village until
they reached Bendi. Here they were
warned to leave, and started back the
next day, without being able to find the
location of the altar to the “Long Juju.”
To C ore Catarrh.
Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalants or
other local applications. Catarrh is a
constitutional disease, and can be success
fully treated only by means of a constitu
tional remedy like Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
which thoroughly purifies the blood and
removes the scrofulous taints which cause
catarrh. The great number of testimo
nials from those who have been cured of
catarrh by Hood's Sarsaparilla prove the
unequalled power of this medicine to con
quer this disease. If troubled with ca
tarrh give Hood’s Sarsaparilla a fair trial
at once.—ad.

Escape Jail.

in his court yesterday with a crowd of
negroes, who were endeavoring to adjust
a difference between Clarence Cohen and
Mariah Ward.
Cohen is a colored porter at the Western
Union Telegraph office, and had been ar

charging him with an offense which is se
verely punishable by both the law and the
gospel. He was not aware of any trouble,
however, until the officer placed him un
der arrest, and proceeded to the Justice’s
office.

however, Cohen agreed to marry her. Part
of the crowd went to the home-of the girl,
on Florence street, where it was under

which the prosecution would be relinquish
