CANDLER TO BE A CANDIDATE.
HIS FOR M AI. AN NOt NCEMKNT TO HI

Copies of It Mailed to tlie Newspa

tlon Two Column* In Cells Hi an.i
Contoln* a Statement of Hi*
4 on State Affair*—Speaker Jenkin*
to Announee Hi* Intention* in Re
gard to the Governorship in a Few
Day*.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 19.—C01. Allen D.
Candler will make formal annoum t int ir.
of his candidacy for Governor on n. xl
Saturday. He has already prepar. l the
document and mailed copies of it to all
the daily newspapers of the state, a hor
izing its publication on Saturday.
The announcement will be made in the
form of a reply to a communication from
the Democratic Club of Ciarke County. It
will cover a couple of columns of n* - pa
per space and put t'he people quite fully
on notice as to the views of the writer on
state affairs.
A good deal of speculation Is being in
dulged in over the probable candidacy of
Messrs. dußignon and Jenkins. Telegram
after telegram has been sent to both these
gentlemen since the retirement of Col. Ter.
rell trying to ascertain their minds. To
day Speaker Jenkins sent n message say
ing that he would make his intentions
known in a few days. At the same time
his physician has given a statement to the
press saying that Mr. Jenkins Is in good
health and likely to be a live factor In
state politics for some time to come. This
is to refute the report that Mr. nk
ins had determined not to run for Gov
ernor because of 111 health. As far as
Speaker Jenkins is concerned, unless he
has changed his mind since he
was last in Atlanta two weeks
ago, he will be In the race. At that tune
he stated unequivocally to the Morning
News correspondent that he had deter
mined to go into the contest to meet all
comers. He also made Che same state
ment during the closing hours of the last
session of the legislature.
Whether the forces supposed tee be be
hind Col. Terrell will line up for Mr. Jen.
kens is purely a mailer of speculation
now. These forces elected him speaker,
and as he Is of the younger element in
politics, unless Mr. dußignon enters the
list, the chances are that he will get the
support of the new regime upon the prin
ciple that It is better to fight against otl.ls
to preserve a following than to make to
fight at all and surrender lock, stock and
barrel.
Gov. Atkinson's return from Mexico is
now the most interesting event looked for
ward to by the politician*? He will £*
here about the first of the month. He is
recognized as the leader of the new regime
and the campaign, no matter who is the
candidate against Col. Candler, is bound
to be more or less guided by his influ
ence.
MUCH SPECULATION AT MACON.
Hon. X. E. Harris May Enter the List*
Against Col. Candler.
Macon, Ga., Jan. 19.—There is much
speculation here as to the Governorship
situation. The retirement of Attorney
General Terrell seems to have given Col.
Candler hope of success.
Mr. dußignon and Nat Harris have
friends in this city, who are inclined to
place their names among the prominent
candidates.
Hon. N. E. Harris said to-day: “Col.
Candler's friends need not becopie too san
guine of success, as Georgia has other
capable gubernatorial timber that is avail
able.”
Inasmuch as Harris’ name has been dis
cussed at the capital, it may be Inferred
that he has an eye on the executive chair.
SOLDIER MYSTERIOUSLY SLAIN.
Unknown A*sn**in Shoot* Him on
Leaving Fort McPherson.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 19.—Charles Nobles,
a private in Company F, Fifth Regiment,
stationed at Fort McPherson, died In the
barracks hospital this morning from
wounds Inflicted by on unknown assassin.
The cause of the killing, as well as the
identity of the assassin, is a mystery.
Nobles was popular at the garrison and
so far as Is known had had no quarrel
with any of his comrades that might havo
resulted in the assassination.
Last night about 7 o’clock the soldier
left the post on a leave to come to the city.
He started afoot and had hardly passed
the reservation line when he was shot from
behind by someone concealed at the road
side. He wheeled around to face the as
sassin and received two more bullets from
his weapon. A few minutes later a com
rade on his way to the post from the city
found Private Nobles lying on the road
where he fell. He was still conscious,
but was unable to tell who shot him, or to
throw any light upon the identity of his
assassin.
An ambulance from the barracks carried
the wounded soldier to the hospital, whore
he died. Nobles enlisted in Chicago, where
his relatives live, and his body was sent
there for burial to-day.

Those Dreadful Sores
They Continued to Spread in Spite
of Treatment but Now They are
Healed — A Wonderful Work.
“For many years I have been c great
sufferer with varicose.veins on one of my
limbs. My foot and limb became dread
fully swollen. When I stood up I could
feel the blood rushing down the vein 6 of
this limb. One day I accidentally hit my
foot against some object and a sore broke
out which continued to spread and
exceedingly painful. I concluded I
needed a blood purifier and I began taking
Hood’s Sarsaparilla. In a short time
those dreadful sores which had caused
me so much suffering, began to heal. I
kept on faithfully with Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla, and in a short time my limb was
completely healed and .the sores gave mo
no more pain. I cannot be too thankful
for the wonderful work Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla, has done for me.” Mbs. A. E.

just reached the city of the waylaying and
beating of a family of wandering Gipsies,
also the drowlng of one of the band.
This family of wanderers came to Fer
nandina a few days since, and stretched
their tents on the beach road just on the
outskirts of the city. After they had been
here two days reports were sent in to the
authorities by some of the citizens that
they were a great annoyance. The women
were very bold, and walked into houses
and attempted to tell the lady’s fortune
whom they first met, occupying her time,
while others would walk through the
house picking up anything that they feould
conveniently carry away.
The authorities visited the Gipsy camp
and advised them to leave town,
which they decided to do.
As they passed through the
settlement near the Florida Central and
Peninsular shops, the caravan stopped in
front of a store kept by Mr. Swearengen.
He was out. They held Mrs. Swearengen
while some of the party helped themselves
to canned goods. When near the draw
bridge that leads on to the mainland the
gypsies were attacked by an armed lot of
both colored and white men, who pulled
them out of their wagons and horsewhip
ped both men and women. After being
subjected to this, they again started, and
when just oyer the bridge they were fired
into by a party, and a horse which a boy
was riding plunged into the river, and the
boy was drowned. The sheriff, on hearing
the report this morning, left at once for
the scene, but he has not returned.

PERMANENTLY BY CURING
THE CAUSE.
Remarkable Remedy\\ liieli in Hring
ing Comfort to Thousand* of Suf
ferer*.
Probably half the people who see this ar
ticle suffer from piles. It is one of the com
monest diseases and one of the most ob
stinate. People have It for years and just
because it is not immediately fatal they
neglect It. Cariessncss causes no end of
suffering. Carelessness about so simple a
thing as piles has often caused death.
Hemorrhages occurs during surgical treat
ment, often causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even in
the worst stages, without pain or loss of
blood, quickly, surely and completely.
There is only one remedy that will do it—
Pyramid Pile Cure.
It allays the inflammation immediately,
heals the irritated surface and with con
tinued treatment reduces the swelling and
puts the membranes into good, sound
healthy condition. The cure is thorough
and permanent.
Here is a voluntary and unsolicited tes
timonial we have lately received:
Mrs. M. C. Hinkly, 601 Mississippi street,
Indianapolis, Ind. f says: Have been a suf
ferer from the pain and annoyance of piles
for fifteen years, the Pyramid Pile Cure
and Pyramid Pills gave me immediate re
lief and in a short time a complete cure.
Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure or will
get it for you If you asked them to. It is
but 50 cents per package and is put up only
by the Pyramid Drug Company, Marshall

MUSIC CLUB’S LOSS.
Resolution* Upon the Death of Hon.
W. D. Harden.
At the last meeting of the Savannah
Music Chib the usual musical programme
of entertainment was dispensed with, out
of respect to the memory of its late presi
dent, Hon. William D. Harden, and the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That in the death of its presi
dent, the Hon. William Dearing Harden,
which occurred on Jan. 11, 1898, the Sa
vannah Music Club has sustained an ir
reparable loss.
Judge Harden was not merely the nomi
nal president of the club—he was its active
head; Us chief founder, and its most earn
est and devoted member. His Interest
continued unabated to the end; for. when
he was first confined to his home, his main
concern seems to have been the apprehen
sion that he would not be strong enough
to take his part in the programme for
this evening.
Judge Harden’s attachment to the club
entitled him to and completely secured for
him every consideration which the club
collectively could show him, and his many
kindly traits of character endeared him
individually to every member.
The secretary is hereby instructed to
spread this resolution upon the minutes
of the club, and to inscribe a page of the
minute book to the memory of our de
ceased president, and also to transmit a
copy of these proceedings to his family.
After adopting this resolution an elec
tion was held to fill the vacancy of
president. Mr. W. T. Williams, vice presi
dent of the club, was elected president,
and Dr. A. Van Marter was elected vies
president.
