peculiarly quizzical expression i
tier, replied: “Well, in the lit ■ f

From the way In which this a -si r n.u
rieen, it was very plain to 1m t
the “l’lowboy of Pigeon R.,
the Newnan feast had design
politics and that he was not a : mi in
the conspiracy.

Col. Candler on this line.
.Someone mentioned th letter Col. Cand
ler wrote to the chairman of Hue Newnan
feast, and he threw some in r. im. rest
ing light upon the game of p..lilies now
being played on the quiet, by n .ling a
I,r*ef story of his campaign against Judge
Emory Speer for congress when he lir-t
defeated him in the Ninth district.
"Speer didn’t exactly challenge me to a
joint debate,” he said, “but In wrote me
a letter saying he had made a list of
appointments and would be pleased if I
could meet him at any of them. He eon
eluded with a little lecture suing it .u
quite improper to engage in a ’still hunt.’
1 was green in the game then md I wrote
o reply to Speer. It was short hut to tin
point. I just toid him he’d find that It
would not he as ‘still’ as he imagined be
fore he got through with Ih. rare. Hut I
didn’t keep a copy of this reply, and of
course Mr. Speer didn’t publish ii. and lo
this day It Is a lost document, none of the
newspapers ever getting hold of it. Now
I am some older, ‘ I have learned a few
things, and when I wrote that letter to
Newnan. I kept a copy of it. l knew they
wouldn’t print it, but it got printed just
the same. 1 sent my ‘copy’ to the office
and I guess It surprised ’em. They tell me
It wasn’t even read at the feast! though
someone gathered all the letters and tele
grams of regret up and was about to read
them, but he didn’t.”
Col. Candler’s retrospect of the Newnan
’possum plot will undoubtedly la- r< ad
with much interest. It shows just what
some men with political futures, who
were invited but stayed away, think of
ils political significance.

Couple Back in Augusta Ifter
Traveling About the Country As
Man and Wife—Lover Claims Wo
man Insisted On Returning
Against His Wishes.
Augusta, Ga.. Jan.' 4.—A remarkable sto
ry comes to light to-day through the
statement of G. O. Faulkner, who informs
the police that his life is threatened by
E. C. Webb, a butcher and dairyman, and
the latter's son. He says he floes not
desire to have any difficulty, neither does
he desire to be dodging these men, and
if they attack him he will certainly de
fend himself.
Behind all this is a sensational story,
and here it Is as told by Faulkner him
self: E. C. Webb's wife and Faulkner
have known each other all their lives and
last year Faulkner was working for
Webb in his dairy, milking cows, etc.
Faulkner says Webb treated his wife
badly and she got tired of it and said
she was going north and leave tiim. She
asked Faulkner to accompany her. He
loved her and went. This was last May.
She furnished the money ami they went
to Washington, Philadelphia and New
York. Mrs. Webb bought him a phono
graph outfit and they made money exhib
iting it.
Recently patronage fell off. Mrs. Webb
became dissatisfied and said she was coin
ing back home. Faulkner said he could not
dissuade her from returning. He says they
have been living as man and wife while
away, and he Iried to persuade her to get
a divorce and be married, but she would
hear to nothing but coming bark to Au
gusta, and so back they came. Mrs. Webb
did not return to her husband, but is at
the home of a friend, and according to
Faulkner says she does not mean to return
to her husband.
Mr. Webb and his son are both deeply
indignant at the audacity of the return of
the couple together, and declare they will
shoot Faulkner on sight.
It is under this state of affairs that
Faulkner demands an adjustment of the
situation without bloodshed. He seems to
be willing to abide by any arrangement
the courts shall decree. He says his moth
er is here in Augusta, and he wants to live
with .her In peace without feeling that he
is being hunted, and that his life is con
stantly in danger. He does not want to kill
Webb and does not mean to let Webb kill
him. He asks the police to summon all
the parties and have the matter adjusted
in any way that will be satisfactory, and
put an end to the present situation.
A SUICIDE AT MILLWOOD.
Yoiiuk Man Addresses Letter to His
■Sweetheart nnd Dies.
Waycross, Ga., Jan. 4.—Coroner Jackson
Grimes returned at 5:30 o'clock this after
noon from Millwood, where he went this
morning to hold an inquest. The verdict
rendered by the jury in the case of a young
man, who was found dead in bed this
morning at J. J. Hargraves' house in Mill
wood, was suicide by taking morphine.
In the coroner’s satchel were two letters,
evidently written by the young nian last
night just before he took the fatal draught.
One was addressed to Miss Emma Thom
as, 605 Fourth avenue, Columbus, Ga. It
was a love letter and told of the writer’s
contemplated death.
“Had I met you six months ago,” the
letter goes on to say, “I would not have
come to this. Circumstances were dif
ferent and I could have done what I most
wished to d0..”
The next letter was addressed to J. L.
Brightwell, Parrott, Ga., asking that the
former letter be delivered, unopened to
Miss Thomas. The name signed to both
letters was simply “Boss,” supposed to be
a nickname.
A postal card was found in the young
man’s pocket. It was adressed to J. L.
Parrott, Parrott, Ga., and is believed to be
the the dead young man. A man
named fVrrott committed suicide early
last year at Atlanta, after losing over
$56,000 in speculations, though his wife pos
sessed some money and property. It is
thought at Millwood that the unknown
young man whose untimely death occur
red there last night was named Parrott,
and if so, he was possibly related to the
Atlanta suicide.
The man arrived at Millwood early yes
terday evening and engaged a room at Mr.
Hargraves. He said he was tired and
sleepy and did not want any supper. Af
ter breakfast this morning he was found
lying on his bed as if asleep, but he was
dead. An empty morphine bottle lay on
the mantel-piece. The stranger was about
25 years of age, and was gentlemanly look
ing. He had only fifty cents with him.

Columbia, 8. C., Jan. 4.—Gen. Johnson
Hagood, aged 69, died at his home in Barn
well to-day of Bright's disease.
Next lo Gens. Hampton and Butler, his
position in war and in peace has been

Graduating from the Citadel Academy

jutant general of militia and entered the
confederate service under Gen. Beauregard

TO CURE NERVOUS DYS
PEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well.to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Meal. Make a Teat of Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of An Indian
apolis Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more mis
understood than nervous dyspepsia. Peo
ple having it think that their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring reme
dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost
sight of; the stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not hive
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor per
haps any of the usual symptoms of stom
ach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows
itself not in the stomach so much as in
nearly every other organ; in some cases
the heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in oth
ers the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accumula
tion of gtm, sour risings and heartburn.
Mr. A IV. Sharper of No. 61 Prospect
st., Indianapolis, Ind., writes as follows;
“A motive of pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the new
and valuable medicine, Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets. I have been a sufferer from nerv
ous dyspepsia for the last four years; have
used various patent medicines and other
remedies without any favorable result.
They sometimes gave temporary relief un
til the effects of the medicine wore off. I
attributed this to my sedentary habits,
being a bookkeeper with little physical ex
ercise, but I am glad to state that the tab
lets have overcome all these obstacles, for
1 have,gained in flesh, sleep better and am
better in every way. The above is written
not for notoriety, hut is based on actual
fact.” Respectfully yours.
A. W. Sharper,
61 Prospect st., Indianapolis, Ind.
It is safe to say that Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any stomach weakness
or disease except cancer of stomach. They
cure sour stomach, gas, loss of flesh and
appetite, sleeplessness, palpitation, heart
burn, constipation and headache.

AREA OF WINTER WHEAT.
New York Journal of Commerce
Prints Its Estimates.
New York, Jan. 4.—The crop report of
the New York Journal of Commerce and
Financial Bulletin says: “Final reports
make the area of winter wheat 26,663,000,
as compared with 23,930,000 acres harvested
last year, an increase of 11.40 per cent.
“There has been a material increase in
wheat seeding in the southern states, due
to the low price of cotton. The increases
are: North Carolina, 20 per cent.; South
Carolina. 15; Alabama, 10; Mississippi, 22;
Louisiana, 20; Texas, 19; Arkansas, 22;
Tennessee, 20. and Kentucky, 15.
"Favorable weather during December
improved the conditions of wheat. The
present average is 87.8 per cent., as against
54.5 per cent, last month. This indicates
about 14.6 per bushels per acre, making a
winter wheat yield of about 390.000,000
bushels.
"According to the January returns there
are 240,000,000 bushels of wheat held on
farms, which is 41.3 per cent, of last year’s
production.
“On the corresponding date last year
there was held in the same position, 190,-
000,000 bushels.
“Present estimated supply of wheat in
ail, 31o,(100,000 bushels. Domestic require
ments for bread to next July, 150,000,000
and for spring seeding say 20,000,000 bush,
eles more, in all 170,000,000 bushels, leaving
a surplus for export during the ensuing
six months and for home reserve, at the
end of june, of 115,000,000 bushels.”
