nent, ore rather heavy. It is said that

off to Paris. Mr. Johnson is one of the
commissioners to the exposition over
there. The commissioners are permitted
under the constitution of 1877 to pay their
own expense l3 . A pre entation of their

to pay the usual admission. The writer
knows about these things. He was a Geor
gia Commissioner to the Paris Exposition
in 1889. It happened thir way. He was
seeking a letter from Gov. John B. Gor
iVn. The Governor in his kindness of

Moultrie Observer: The first peaches of
the season were exhibited on the streets
Tuesday by Mr. W. B. Dukes. He raised
them out at his farm, where ho has quite
a large orchard of young trees just be
ginning to bear. They have a good many
peaches on them this year and will bring
In a right nice little revenue at the price
prevailing now—and they have the market
ail to themselves, or there *are no other
peaches on the market yet. Mr. Dukes
is making a pretty extensive experiment
in fruit culture, and he thinks he has
solved the lat 6 frost problem, by setting
out his peaches among the green pines.
The pines protect the small fruit from the
frost, and do not in any way conflict with
the health and thrift of the peach trees.

Jacksonville Timcn-Union and Citizen:
now seems to be no doubt that the
city of Jacksonville, through its Board
of Trade, will entertain the delegates to
the Democratic Slate Convention with all
the hospitality that has given the city o
good name wherever .It is known. The
enjoyment of Ihe Seaboard Air Line ban
quet on Thursday evening seemed only
to give new zest to the work of solicltling
additions to the fund yesterday, and be
fore night it had been raised to within a
few points of Ihe $3,000 mark. To the
membership of the Board of Trade com
mittee the name of R. H. Bishop has
been added, nnd yesterday he joined forces
with the rest in working.
The Jury in the Hewitt broiberse mur
der case, on trial in Jacksonville, arrived
at a conclusion at 10 o’clock Friday morn
ing, and brought in a verdict of murder
in the second degree, as to Lum and
Dick Hewitt, and found Moss Hewitt
guilty of being an accessory before the
fact. The punishment in each case is life
Imprisonment. A large crowd gathered
to-day to hear the result. Many were
disappointed, as those who heard the evi
dence fully expected a verdict of murder
in the first degree, without the recom
mendation of mercy. Hon. J. E. Hart
ridge, one of the attorneys for the ac
cused, said that he would move for anew
trial, and if he failed, would take the
matter to the Supreme Court. J. T.
Johnson, the murdered man, on Saturday,
May 29, 1898, married Miss Alice Johnson,
a sister of the Jlewl t boys. The brothers
were chagrined, and assaulted Johnson
shortly after the marriage. They threat
ened to kill him, and Lum Hewitt bor
rowed a gun from L. J. Scarboro a short
while before the murder. The locks of
this gun were found with Johnson's
bloody necktie in a gallberry patch near
by. Johnson's body was found in the
bottom of a creek the next morning,
weighted down by a heavy Iron carbox.
The state, in every particular, made out
a clear case against the prisoners, trac
ing every detail to the Hewitt brothers.

High School.
Brunswick, Ga., June 2.—One of the
largest audi nccs cf the season gathered
at the Grand Opera House Friday night
to attend the g;aduattng exercises of the
Glynn High School and listen to the ad
dress by lion. Peter W. Meldrim, of Sa
vannah. Toe class this year consisted of
one pupil. Miss Maude Turner, who is
one of Brunswick’s brightest young ladies,
and who acquitted 1-erself charmingly In
reading an essay entitled, “Character: Not
Re.dilation."
Col. Meldrlm made a most excellent im
press on on his audience. His subject was
i tscussed in a most ab'e manner but with
an oratorical ebatm that held the closest
attention of his hearers. The study which
ho has given the subject of c iucatlon was
c.ea'ly shown by the fund of Information
at his command and \vhl<h lie used ex
tensively during his addregs. He is a
strong advocate of compulsory education
and the tiairing of young men through a
thorough course of schooling.
On the qutstion of illiteracy. Col. Mel
drim referred to the fact that at one of
the last elections held in Georgia out of
1 6,f> voters over 100 000 votes cast were
by Ulltrra'e men, while the percentage
of illiteracy in Georgia was from 60 to
73 per cent, against 3 to 4 per cent, in
Kansas and lowa. To nay that these
statements were received with . surprise
by Ihe majority of the audience would be
putting it mildly, and the appreciation
shewn was frequently murked by ap-

Concerning; n Method of Curing; Dys
pepsia mid Stoniacb Troubles,
Dyspepsia and indigestion arc considered
Incurable by many people who do not
realize the advance made in modern med
ical science, and because by the old meth
ods and remedies a cure was rarely, If
ever, obtained.
Dyspepsia Is now cured as readily as any
other disease.
What the dyspeptio wants Is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty oX good,
wholesome, well cooked food and some
thing to assist the weak stomach to di
gest It. This Is exactly the purpose for
which Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and this Is the method by which
they cure the worst,cases of Dyspepsia.
In other words, the patient eats plenty
of wholesome food and Stuart’s Dyspep
sia Tablets digest It for him. In this way
the system Is nourished and the over
worked stomach rested, because the tab
lets Will digest the food whether ihe
stomach works or not. One of these tab
lets will digest 3,000 grains of meat or
eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stuart’s
Dyspepsia. Tablets la a remedy sold on Its
merits and Is the purest, safest and cheap
est remedy sold for stomach troubles, and
every trial makes one more friend for
this excellent preparation.

VICTORIES WROUGHT BY PEACE
IMPROVEMENTS \T FORT BROOKE
RESKR\ ATI ON.
Wonderful Changes in the Con rue of
Yearn Same Spirit of Progress
Noted Throughout All South Flor
ida—-Heroes of Florida’s Indian
Wars—lndian Lames of Rivers,
Streets and Towns in Florida.
Tampa, Fla., May 31.—1f the old army
officers of fifty years or more
ago could rise from their graves
and revisit to-day the ancient
Fort Brooke Military Reservation,
where they fought both the then savage
Indians and the insidious diseases of what
the poet called “Tampa’s deadly shore.’
where “death and danger” lurked, they
would be amazed at the wonderful vic
tories that has achieved during the
past quarter of a century in this section
of the state.
Now that the long years of litigation
over the ownership of the reservation have
come to an end, the march of modern im
provement has been rapid in its work over
that badly neglected portion of a steadily
developing city. Where once only the war
cry of the Indians and the crack of the
soldiers' rifles were heard, the sharp blast
of the modern steam whistle is constantly
floating on the air from passing steam
ers, railway locomotives and adjacent fac
tories. The silence and gloom of the for
ests of Tampa Bay have given way to the
hum and bustle of a growing city's busy
traffic, the final magnitude of which the
prophetic eye can hardly measure.
And so it is everywhere in South Flor
ida, so long c.osed to modern railways
and their attendant devrlopments. The
old Indian Villages have given place. to
thriving towns and cities, and many of
them cov- r the sites of bloody Indian bat
tlefields. The shrill whistle of the passing
locomotive even breaks the stillness and
seclus on of the spot where Maj. Dade
and his heroic little l and like Gen. Custer
and his braves .in the far West, were mas
sacred in cold blood, only one soldier—
battered and broken for life, escaped the
vengeance of the Indians But the names
of the gallant Dade and the other heroes
of tho?e terrible battles, as should be the
case, are everywhere linked with the
grand developm nts of peace. They mark
the towns and counties end streets and
fons that cover the now rapidly develop
ing section cf South Florida. So shall a
giateful people, now enjoying the fruits
cf their heroic struggles here, keep eVer
In honored remembrance the names of
the gallant s Idlers who dared disease
and death thiougheut all this region to
open it up to tbe arts cf peace and Chris
tian civilization.
Where the Indian canoes and the little
steamers and vessels of the whites once
moved over the waters of Tampa bay,
and Hillsborough river, at its mouth, oppo
site Fort Brooke Reservation, may now
be seen great ocean steamships and sail
ing vessels. All the front of the Reserva
tion at the mouth of the river is lined with
substantial tyharves and big warehouses,
along the rear of which the railway tracks
are run. Most of these valuable improve
ments are of recent date, and the sound of
the busy hammer and saw of the carpen
ter, indicates more important improve
ments In the future. The presence and
operations of several vowerful dredges in
front of the Reservation, indicate the
early securing of a deep water channel
up to the newly constructed and extensive
wharves. Without discussing the right
or wrong of our nation’s past or present
Indian policy, all these grand modern im
provements may be said to illustrate how
in land of ours, the sword of war,
with all its sufferings and sacrifices,
makes way for the peace that brings in
its pathway, the progress, development,
security to life and property, that creates
states, and makes them prosperous and
permanent.
And of our savages, foes of other and
earlier days in the history of our whole
country, their names and deeds go “sound
ing down the ages” with those of our ow n
heroes. Our towns, cities, streetes, clubs,
forts, etc., as well as our mountains and,
rivers, keep their names ever fresh In
the minds of succeeding generations. The
most aristocratic social clubs In the land
bear Indian names—and we have the
Seminole, the Tomochlohi, the Norum
bega,, the Mohawk, the Seneca, the Osce
ola, etc.; and of the Indian names of
rivers our poets nfver tire of singing.
And therefore it is that with the march
of time and the advent of wonderful de
velopments like those I see all about this
once quiet For' Brooke Reservation, the
names and rietgls of the warriors of other
days ami their Indian Joes are kept tilive.
And so long as poetry and song go hand
In hand with material progress, these
names will remain as reminders of the
sturdy men and women, who, In the early
history of this land, were the heroes and
heroines w - ho endured the dangers and
terrible sufferings of Indian warfare in
order tbit the arts of peace and the be
nignant influences of a Christian civiliza
tion might cover this land as the waters
cover the great deep.

The reason Postum builds up the human
body to a prim* condition of health, Is
that when coffee is left off, the drug ef
fects of the poison disappear and the ele
ments In Postum unite with albumen of
the food to make gray matter and refill
the delicate nerve centers all over the body
and in the brain. This so. s up a prr.'e t

A “String” Is Always Attached to
These Generous Oilers.
The Ultimate Cost Is Lena and the
Rexults Certain When You Are
Treated by Dr. Hathaway, the
Muxter Specialist*
J. NEWTON HATHAWAY, M. D.
Tilt* Oldest Established Specialist in
the South.
If your house needs repairing you do not
get a blacksmith to do it; nor do you get
a carpenter to repair your plumbing.
Why then, when you are sick,, do you buy
a hit-or-miss mixture of drugs from some
man or “Medical Company'’ or “Institute’’
rather than go for treatment to some reg
ularly graduated and registered physician
and specialist?
COMPLICATIONS OF DISEASE.
In the first place, it is of the utmost
importance that every phase of your mal
ady be known before any sort of treat
ment be administered. There is hardly any
one disease that does not carry with it
several complications which require
special treatment. No one preparation can
cure a dozen different complaints and no
"Wonders” can be “worked ”, by such dos
ing; it is the skill of the long-tried spec
ialist alone, which can bring about a
cure.
FREF. TREATMENTS.
Another class of men and “Institutes.”
etc., to be avoided is those who adver
tise “Free Treatment” and "Flee Reme
dies.” You may depend upon it that there
is a very strong string attached to ail
these offers, and that in the end you pay
more than you would to a real doctor, one
capable of understanding your ease, and
one whose reputation depends upon the
cures he makes. Most of these “Free
Treatments” consist simply of a few doses
of a very powerful stimulant, which, when
the effects have worn off. leave the patient
in much worse condition than before the
"treatment.”
Dll, HATHAWAY'S METHOD.
Dr. Hathaway has never resorted to
these methods. For twenty years he has
been a practicing physician—a specialist
in .the treatment of chronic diseases of
men and women. Year by year his prac
tice has grown until to-day It Is larger
ten times over than that of any other
specialist In his line In the world. He
treats every case specially according to its
needs, and all remedies used are prepared
in his own laboratory under hi- personal
supervision and from exclusive formulas.
By his method of treatment, tost vital
forces, weakened manly functions. Vari
cocele. Stricture, Syphilitic Blood. Poison
ing, Kidney end Urinary Complaints, and
ail other forms of chronic and lingering
diseases are cured, and cured to stay
cured.

ADVANCES IN FREIGHT RATES.
New Classification on June 1 Caused
Many Kates to Increase.
A new classification of freight rates for
the Southern t rritory wer.t into effect on
June 1, and 374 advances were caused. A
new classification was made 011 Feb. 1,
and a comraris n of it has been made by
an expert, who says;
’ Shippers of all c asses of freight into
South rn territory will do well to closely
Insi ect the new Southern classification
No. 27. which goes Into effect June 1.
“By ca efully comparing this classifi
cation with No. 26, which went into ef
f c r on Fib. 1. and is n,w supirreded, It
will be teen that add tlo: al advances in
class to the number of 374 have been
made out of the total number of .nearly
2,600 articles that aift ar in the classihed
list.
It will be recalled that on Feb. l the
group of railwais souih of the Potomac
and east of the Mtsdss'ppt rivers, and the
steamsh.p lints controlled by them, fol
lowing the example s.t by the 'trunk
Line Association. 0:1 Jan. 1, made sub
stantially 1,603 advances in the classifica
tion list that lad tor years governed
prior to that dele These, when combined
with the 371 n tv changes now mode, gives
the total of 1,977 articles, i vanced in
class This shows that over two-thirds of
the entire 1 st l ave b en set up to take a
higher has s of rates for transportation
than (hose which governed prior to the
first advance on FVb. 1.
"A rtview of the list arpnrently shows
that it has hern the aim of the Southern
Classification Committee to increase me
revenue for transporting freignt, even If
actual neeessldes of life, such is butte 1- ,
ch< 1 se, ct ft, e, cann and g oils, |ish, honey,
meats, e.c, are th.riby materially ad
vanced in price.
“By comparison of the old with the new
classification It will be seen that forty-six
articles have been advanced from sixth
to fifth, ten from sixth to fourth, thirty
six from fifth to fourth, sixty-nine from
fourth to third, thirty-eight from third
to second, and thirty-two from secoad 10
first class.
“Many articles, too, have been advanced
two or more classes, such as alum (In
boxes) from fourth to first, lampblack
from 4hird to first, blacking from third
lo first, chocblate from third to first, yarns,

n. o. s., from third to first, etc. It will
also be seen that the- classes lower than
the sixth class, which are designated by
the letters A, B, C, D, E, and H, are
gradually disappearing from the classifi
cation. Of these lower lettered classes 109
articles so classified appeared in the class
ification governjng prior to Feb. 1. But
fifty-eight now remain In the classified
list, the balance having been advanced to
the higher classes. Advances have also
been made by raising the minimum
weights of darload shipments from 24,000
pounds to .30,000 pounds.
"For many years the Southern classifi
cation of freight was considerably lower
in nearly all respects than either the offi
cial or Western classifications, but the ad
vantage was offset by the scale of rates
exacted, which for similar distances com
pared as follows: New York to Chicago,
1—75, 2 —6,i, 3—50, 4—35, 5—30, 6—25; Now
York to Atlanta, Ga., I—lo 7, 2—92, 3—Bl,
