threaten them with violence if they refus

COFFEE COUNTY'S DROUGHT.
Gnonn Receipts Liglit—bosses by tile
Fire—Railroad Prospects.
Douglas, Ga., Feb. 15.—Coffee county
has had the longest drought for many
winters. Some wells are drying up. Fires
raging in the woods will cause range cat
tle and sheep to suffer greatly.
Douglas has not up to date received half
the guano that was received up to a corre
sponding date of last year. Coffee county
farmers express themselves as determined
to reduce the acreage in cotton and apply
themselves more to food crops.
In ascertaining the facts a~ to insurance
on Friday night’s fire, Mrs. R. B. Hall
only had S3OO on her store and Mr. Carliss
only $540 on his stock, which will not
cover half their loss. Both policies are
in the Phoenix.
The gripp and whooping cough keep the
Douglas doctors pretty busy. Mrs. Ran
dolph Holton is critically ill.
Some heavy deals in Douglas real estate
will be given to the public within a few
days.
The patrons of the Morning News are
highly pleased at the new mail service that
has been Inaugurated for the past week.
The paper now arrives at Douglas at 1:40
p. m. each day of publication except Sun
days. (No trains are run over the Douglas
and McDonald Railroad on Sundays.
Coffee county has not lost faith in the
new railroad and saw mill plant that may
be put in by the J. S. Bailey Lumber Com
pany because they sold their Duke mill
to the G. S. Baxter Company at Haylow,
but anticipates an entirely new and more
extensive plant in the near future. The
traveling public are looking for this hust
ling firm to put on a respectable passen
ger coach between McDonald and Doug
las at an early date.
THAT PNEUMONIA Cl RE.
Hr. I.umlheck Tells Something or
What II is.
From the New York Herald, Feb. 14.
Considerable discussion has been caused
among members of the medical profession
by the publication in the Herald of the
discovery by two physicians of the Bor
ough of Brooklyn of a remedy which they
believe will cure the dread disease pneumo
nia.
Dr. Charles Lundbeck, of No. 107 Ber
gen street, and Dr. Carl Elfstrom, who
have worked together developing this cure,
are positive that it will be a success. Dr.
Lundbeck has the greatest faith in the
cure, and while he has tested it on cnly
half a dozen patients the results fully sat
isfy him that he has a method which x. ill
revolutionize the treatment of pneumonia.
I called on Dr. Lundbeck at his home
on Bergen street last night, and he said:
“There is not the slightest danger attach
ed to the treatment, and it Is painless. No
drugs are used. I simply draw a quantity
of blood from the patient. The amount is
determined by the condition of the patient.
To givq an Idea of the quantity I may say
that it is very small, about fifty trams,
or a little more than one ounce and a
half, in most eases. This blood is pre
pared by a process in which heat as well
as time is a factor in preparing the serum.
It is prepared in a vessel something like
an incubator. It takes several hours to
prepare it and it is then hypodermically
injected into the patient.
“In one case, where the patient's lungs
•were solid and she had the greatest dif
ficulty in breathing, the lungs began to
melt in ten or twelve hours, and she ls
now fully restored to health.
“There is no secret about the method.
It Is simply • to thc preparation of the
serum that we have had mainly to exper
iment. The serum acts In making the
bacilli harmless, and that is what effects
the cure. As soon as I have perfected all
of the methods I will inform the members
of my profession. There is no desire to
Keep anything secret. It will be for the
good of humanity.”
Dr. Lundbeck has been for more than
twenty years a practicing physician in
Brooklyn. He is prominent In singing
circles, and was one of the active promo
ters of the festival held In Carnegie hall.
Manhattan, last year by the United Swed
i'h Singing Societies of America, who were
on their way to the Sloekholm Exposition.

\N AVTI-HARDELL I’Ll R,
Component of Twelve Raelie)om of
the City of Atlanta.
From the Atlanta Journal.
Simultaneous with the report ihat pro
miscuous kissing has become an epidemic
in Atlanta comes the news of the forma
tion of the '“Anti-Bardell Bachelor Band”
in this city.
■ The anti-Bardellites number a dozen of
the most prominent young men of Atlanta
who announce that their faith in single
blessedness is as unbreakable as their
hearts, and any young lady who endeavors
to kiss any member of the band is sure to
meet with a chilly reception.
The club takes its name from the plain
tiff in the celebrated breach of promise
suit of Bardell vs. Pickwick, and one of
Us main objects is the suppression of Mrs.
Bardell’s alleged larpe army of female fol
lowers.
The motto of the club Is from the prov
erbs of Solomon:
"It Is better to live in a corner of the
housetop than with a brawling woman in
a wide house."
The objects of the club are to oppose
matrimony, to fight for the liberty of man,
to encourage the manufacture of all such
devices as bachelor buttons, aqd to check
the movement inaugurated by Mrs. Char
lotte Smith to require bachelors to wed.
Any member w ho marries will be fined
SI,OOO. The club will attend the “funeral”
In a body, dies.ed in black, wearing long,
mournful faces, with an abundant supply
of crepe. In addition to this they Will emit
groans during the whole ceremony. When
the fine is paid the member shall be declar
ed legally dead.
There are also fines for “getting the mit
ten” and for proposing to young ladles,
widows or old maids. In case of rejection
by a widow or old maid the fine will be
double.
While oscillation is not mentioned in the
by-laws, it is made an offense for any.
member to ride through a tunnel when
a female occupies a contiguous seat.
The officers andftrfcmbers of the club are:
Mr. John A. Hynds. chief marble heart;
Mr. E. C. Brown, Junior marble heart; Mr.
Mark J. 'McCord, freezer; Mr. J. D. Allen,
“iceberg;” Messrs. Orie Nunnally, Har
vey Anderson. George S. Tigner, Talley
<B. Graves, Ed Kilby, Chess B. Howard,
Mark Hightower and Will Orr.
The membership will be confined to a
doztn, allowing one man for each letter
in the words, “Bachelor Band."
A few days ago Mr. E. C. Brown, the
junior marble heart, was tried on the
charge of deserting the Atlanta charmers
and visiting a Marietta widow. He was
also charged with sending the widow
flowers and candtfs.
The trial, 4’hicn took place under the
rules prescribed by the by-laws, was a
very interesting one. The verdict was
“guilty,” and the judges decreed that Mr.
Brown should not visit Marietta for two
months, and that he should buy twenty
four theater tickets for the use of the
band and their young lady friends. The
tickets will bo used Friday night, when the
bachelors will attend a production of
“Shore Acres.”
SPLIT AMONG CONFEDERATES.
Seventy-live Members of Anguatu
Cnmp to Form a New Camp.
Augusta (Ga.) correspondent Atlanta
Journal.
The camp of Confederate Veterans of
this city has split all to pieces, and the
chances are that there will be two camps
and that the two camps will not be on
very friendly terms with each other.
A threatened rupture has been hanging
over the head of the camp for some time,
and at a meeting of a number of veter
ans, which was held on Friday night, the
rupture came, and it came in
an emphatic way. The meet
ing was not held at the regular meet
ing place of the camp, but in a hall out
on the outskirts of the city, where the vet-
who were bolting could transact
their busines* with some degree of se
crecy. Thp bolting veterans had requested
the president of the camp to call a meet
ing for some special purpose, and the
president refused, saying that it was not
his business to call a meeting unless he
knew for what purpose. The bolters then
called a meeting of their own and decid
ed to resign from the old camp and form
anew one. The bolting party numbers
about seventy-five, and comprises some
of the best known of the veterans asso
ciation.
The split up occurred on account of the
Opposition on the part of the camp to the
organization of Company A. This was a
company organized from the veterans who
belonged to the association, a nd after
much trouble and expense the company
Wits uniformed and went through regular
drill two or three times a week. The
company went to Nashville and were In
vited to several other places on account
of their being Ihe only uniformed company
of Confederate Veterans in the country. At
a meeting of the camp here some weeks
ago a bomb was thrown in the shape of a
resolution declaring the company to he
disbanded.. The members of the company
were vigorous in their opposition to the
resolution, but the majority of the vet
erans ilid not uphold the company nnd
consequently it was declared disbanded.
Then followed the meeting of Friday night,
when about thirty of the members of the
Company A resolved to resign from the
camp, and when a committee was appoint
ed to procure the resignations of the other
members of the company. The leader In
the bolting party Is MaJ. C. A. Withers,
and the leader of the other side is Capt.
Salem Dutcher.
At the meeting Friday night MaJ. With
ers poured some hot shot Into Capt.
Dutcher and accused him and his support
ers of taking the steps they did on account
of Jealousy.

New York, Feb. 15.—Although liquidation
was the principal feature of the fore
noon trading In cotton futures the course
of the early market was gratifying to the
long interest considering the bearish pur
port of English cables. Whereas a drop
of B@lo points had been looked for as a
response to a decline of 3 points in the
Liverpool market the opening rail devel
oped a loss of hut 4@5 points, which was i
fully recovered early in the afternoon. !
The smaller bulls and Liverpool were the t
principal sellers throughout the session. 1
New Orleans and commission houses sold
in a small tvay on the early break, but
later became active buyers. Continued
heavy port and Interior receipts and loss
favorable acts from certain sections of
the South In regard to acreage and spot
cotton were factors used by local shorts
to depress the early market. The market
closed steady with quotations 1 point high
er to 1 net lower.

New York, Fob. 15.—Riordan It < 10. say
of cotton: "Nearly everything pointed to
lower prices for cotton to-day. and yet the
market, after an early weakness closed
at practically last night's prices. Liver
pool was very discouraging, the cables re
porting a decline there of three sixty
fourths Under this influence our market
opened three to four points down. After
the opening there was further weakness
on long liquidation. Liverpool again sold
freely, especially the n. w crop. In spite
of very heavy |>ort receipts and semi
weekly movement at the Interior towns,
and the fact that the South was somewhat
easier, there was a fairly good demand
and in the afternoon, the market harden
ed and recovered its loss. May opened at
6.(Me. dropped to 6.61 c, advanced to 6.08 c,
and closed at 6.67 to 6.08 c. with the 'on., of
the market steady. The feeling here is
rather bullish, but we do not think the
time has come for much advance.”
DRY GOODS,
New York, Fob. 15.—The week in dry
goods shows fairly active trading with a
better showing of buyers In town than
usual. Price lone Is decidedly better.
White star, 4-64, brown cottons, majestic
BB brown. Marian and North Star bleach
ed cottons, Graniteville and Maginnls
brown sheetings, have all been advanced
%c per yard. Other advances are expect
ed to-morrow. The tone of staple cottons
is particularly strong. The higher price
of cottons has been the chief Incentive
to higher price quotations. In the absence
of heavy demand there is little opportu
nity to test the market on the basis of
these new quotations, but so far ns can
be learned the a ivances have been woil
sustained. In coarse colored cottons there
is a corresponding strengthening, but sel
lers do not feel justified In quoting higher
pricos. Print cloths unchanged, llritns
firm and in good demand.

a were formerly looked upon as lost,
