Georgia to do honor .to the valoi of the Georgia troops who fought around , Vlcfcabarg. He referred to the words of the late President McKinley which were uttered just a year ago in the same hall where he was then speaking to the effect that the national government should, now under take to care for the graves of the Confed erate goMler* as much as for the Feder al soldiers, for they were all American x soldiers. - General Lee paid a magnificent tribute to the Georgia troops which made up three miles of the eight miles of the battle line stretching around Vicksburg. Some of the troops were under the command of General Lee, and he spoke of his person al opportunities to observe their gallan try. He spoke of the way in which the people of the northern states since the war have been making history out of the events of the civil war while the people of the south have been busy making bread and meat. * He spoke of the magnificent monument which Georgia has erected at Chickamauga. He said that he took off his hat before the statue of Benjamin Hill, which stands in the capltol corridor, and related the time when the southern people were prostrate, oppressed and discouraged how Hill sent a message through the south that again ind again gave hope to his dountryt General Lee asked that the legislature provide for the commission which would not require an appropriation of more than W,O». ... . * General Lee was warmly received and at the conclusion of his address he was loudly applauded.

General Lee Is the southern representa tive on the Vicksburg National Park com ' mission. For this reason, besides being a Mississippian and a distinguished Confed erate soldier, he is interested in all that pertains to the perpetuation of the mem ory of the soldiers who took part in the civil war. General Lee Is one of the most promi nent citizens of Mississippi and will be accorded a warm welcome by the state officials He has always been prominent in public affairs of his state, but has never aspired to public office. He will remain tn the city for-several days. ... CJ&.O VOXV.X.A.. youngsterscannoFmake GOO-GOO EYES IN CHARLOTTE CHARLOTTE. N. C.. Nov. k—Two ordi nances passed by the board of aidermen at their last meeting have caused much good-natured comment One is called the “anti-rubbering law." and is destined to protect students of the girls' college tpom annoyance by the fresh young men who, it is complained, make “goo-goo eyes” at the fair young ladies a» they traverse the streets. The .statute In this, case Imposes a fine of $lO on all violator*. The other law relates to the speed of au tomobiles. In the discussion before the board it appeared that there were so many horseless vehicles tn Charlotte, and they were ran at such a pace as to endanger the lives of all the members of the board of aidermen. and therefore the speed of the alleged offender* was regulated to 12 miles -an hour and less in certain sec tions of this city. The fact that the alleged offender in all there instances is one and the same lead ing citizen. who is also something of a practical joker, led him to issue a call for a meeting ot the automobile club and pass a resolution of protest against the ordinance. The protest, as published, is signed by "Osmond L. Barringer, presi dent: Osmond L. Barringer, vice presi dent*. Osmond L. Barringer, secretary; Os mond L- Barringer, chairman executive committee” The “anti-rubbering' law also brought a published request from a boy who asked that gazing upon the "metal lady*’ upon the dome of the new Presbyterian college be not considered an offense against the statute as made and provided.

In its Issue of Wednesday, has a strong editorial protesting against the bill Introduced by Mr. Hitch of Chatham, which bill seeks to tax inheritances. The protest of the editorial is based on the ground that all donations made to col leges and religious institutions and churches could, under the bill, be taxed. But Mr. Hitch, the author of the meas ure. In an Interview yesterday, said such is not the intention of the bill, and if it should be so construed he will gladly submit to an amendment so as to exempt all churches, colleges and religious insti tutions. JEFFRIES IS THE FAVORITE AT 10 TO 7 FOR FIGHT. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.—Jim Jeffries and Gus Ruhlin are ready for their cham pionship bout, which is to be fought in the ring of the Twentieth Century Ath letic club a week from next Friday night. They are both fit. There does not seem to be the interest manifested in this big contest that mark ed the others of past years. The local sporting folk do not confine their entire conversation to the coming fight, and. judging from other conditions, it will be nothing more than a Frisco gather ing which will be present in the club house on the night of the fight. But Jeffries and Ruhlin will fight If only ten persons are in the hall when they go Into the ring. They have a guaranteed purse. They have agreed to go a twenty-round bout ( but it is very doubtful if it will last that long. The Akron man takes an interest in his work and this relieves \the monotony of the routine. Jeff never does like to work and it requires all his trainer's ef forts to keep him going during the hours he has scheduled for training. He does like to go on the roads though, and en joys the hunting and riding. But the champion is in excellent fettle just the same. He weighs close to the 235-pound mark and It is the purpose of his chief adviser Billy Delaney to send him imo the ring as near that weight as possible. Ruhlin will not tip the scales at over 190 pounds and he Is already about at that mark. Beat, Health a*< Tmnfort to Mother and MRS.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOUKNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1901. [LI WHITNEY ■TO CLUB OLD HOME OF INVENTOR OF COT TON GIN, NEAR AUGUSTA, IS THE SITE—-BRONZE MEMO RIAL TABLET. CHARLOTTE, N. C.. Nov. B.—At the seventy-first meeting of the New Eng land Cotton Manufacturers’ association, held at Niagara Falls September IK-26, the board of government, after a thorough investigation of the subject in all its bear ings, submitted a report in favor of plac ing upon the house of the Eli Whitney Country club, near Augusta, Ga., by sub scription of the members of the associa tion, a bronze memorial tablet in com memoration of Eli Whitney and the in vention of the American cotton gin. This report was adopted and the following ap pointed as a committee to execute the work: M. F. Foster, chairman, Milford, N. H.; D. A. Tompkins, Charlotte, N. C.; W. B. Smith-Wnaley, Columbia, S. C.; Charles H. Fish, Dover, N. H.*, C. J. H. Woodbury, Boston. Mass. This committee has issued a circular let ter to the members of the association stat ing that the inception of the movement began from a paper on “Ell Whitney and His Cotton Gin,” read at the Montreal meeting of the association, October 5, 1899, in which Mr. M. F. Foster made the sug gestion that a monument should be erect ed by this association to the memory of Eli Whitney on Rocky creek, near Au gusta, Ga., as the site where the cotton gin of Eli Whitney was first put into practical operation. Since that time a number of citizens of Augusta and elsewhere in the south, be ing largely composed of those engaged In the sale or manufacture of cotton, have Incorporated the Eli Whitney Country club, which has bought this property, up on which a country club hcuse is to be built near Augusta. The action was not taken until a thorough search was made, establishing the validity of both the title te the land and the historical questions. It is considered Important that the tab let should be equal to the dignity of the event which it commemorates, an em inent contribution to the resources of civ ilization and to the material welfare of the United States. The design sketched by one of the mem bers of the committee has been submitted to Mr. Cyrus E. Dallin. an eminent sculp tor who received a gold medal at the Par is exposition of 1900, and whose statue of the Indian medicine man was bought by the Austrian government, being the first instance of the purchase of American sculpture by a European government. Mr. Dallin has made a clay model in miniature which has received the approv al of the commitee. and the slow work of fashioning the full size pattern will be commenced as soon as the exact dimen sions of the apace reserved on the walls of the club house are known. ■ * The design includes a large tablet with a semi-circular top, in the upper portion of which will be a bronze portrait bf Ell Whitney in alto relievo, wreathed with upland cotton plants in full boll. In addi tion to- suitable the tablet will bear on a losenge gn outline repre sentation of the first cotton gin made by Ell Whitney. ' • ’ - HARDWICK TO PUSH HIS DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. T. W. Hardwick, of Washington, will make an effort to bring up his bill, which seeks to disfranchise the negro, this week.

A New Departure. A New, Effectual and Convenient Cure for Catarrh. Os catarrh remedies there is no end, but of catarrh cures, there has always been a great scarcity. There are many reme dies to relieve, but very few that really cure. The old practice of snuffing salt water through the nose would often relieve and egj. I” the washes, douches, powders and inhal ers in common use are very little, if any, better than the old fashioned salt water douche. The use of inhalers and the application of salves, washes and powders to the nose and throat to cure catarrh is no more reasonable than to rub the back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is just as much a blood disease as Kidney trouble or rheu matism and it cannot be cured by local treatment any more than t'hey can be. To cure catarrh, whether in the head, throat or stomach an internal antiseptic treatment is necessary to drive the ca tarrhal poison out of the blood and sys tem. and the new catarrh cure is designed on this plan and the remarkable success of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets is because be ing used internally, it drives out catarrhal infection through action upon stomach, liver and bowels. Wm. Zimmerman, of St. Joseph, relates an experience with catarrh which is of value to millions of catarrh sufferers everywhere. He says: “I neglected a slight nasal catarrh until it gradually ex tended to my throat and bronchial tubes and finally even my stomach and liver became affected, but as I was able to keep up and do a day's work I let it run along until my hearing began to fail me and then I realized that I must get rid of ca tarrh or lose my position as I was clerk and my hearing was absolutely necessary. "Some of my friends recommended an inhaler, another catarrh salve but they were no good in my case, nor was any thing else until I heard of Stuart’s Ca ta/rh Tablets and bought a package at my drug store. They benefited me from the start and in less than four months I was completely cured of catarrh although I had suffered nearly all my life from it. •’They are pleasant to take and so much more convenient to use than other ca tarrh remedies that I feel I cannot say enough in favor, of Stuart s Catarrh Tab lets.” A little book on causes and cure of ca tarrh wirt be mailed free by addressing F, A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., and the tablets are sold by all druggists in the United States-and Canada. MACCABEES ARESHYi ORDER SHORT $5/,000 SUPREME FINANCE KEEPER CON- FESSES THAT HIS ACCOUNTS ARE SHORT. PORT HURON, Mich., Nov. 7.—C- B. Thompson, of this city, supreme finance keeper of the Supreme Tent, Knights of the Maccabees, is a self-confessed defaul ter in the sum of $57,000. The shortage is acknowledged in the following letter to D. P. Markey, supreme commander cf'the order: •‘To D. P. Markey, Supreme Commander. Knights of Maccabees: "It is with a feeling of distress and shame that I tender herewith my resigna tion as supreme finance keeper of the order of which you are the head. Apd this step is taken with a bitter realization that I am no longer worthy of the com panionship and association of my fellow officers. I have held the position since the order was founded, have during most of that time been officially associated with the preaent supreme officers and never un til now did I in any way betray my trust. I was engaged in a legitimate business venture in which I had made a large in vestment and found myself in a position where more funds was necessary to save myself from bankruptcy and ruin. “There was apparently no chance for loss. I then betrayed my trust and used the funds of the order at the time, be lieving there was no question of my abil ity to replace them within a short time. The amount I used was $57,000. I have no hope of being able to repay this amount. I know the order is protected from loss by the surety bond of nearly twice the amount Improperly used, but this does not lessen my mental suffering nor relieve me from the disgrace of having betrayed the confidence reposed in me. Nothing that may occur can increase the tortures which I have suffered and am still suf fering. I can only await such action as may be taken and abide the consequences. "No punishment can be greater and no suffering so intense as that resulting from the loss of respect and esteem of the membership of the order and the suffering caused to my family. (Signed) "CHAS. B. THOMPSON.” MACCABEES MEET TO COLLECT FUNDS. PORT HURON, Mich., Nov.

B.—That part of Augusta citizens which likes to see a live ly time practically seems in a fairway to get enough of that sort of excitement in the local races next year, even if they are disappointed at the tameness of the councilmanic campaign. This latter is about ended, with not a single opposition candidate in the field. Only a few more days- now remain in which entry can be made, and there is no probability that such will be done. But already candidates are lining up for the races next year. A judge is to be elected for this circuit. Judge E. L. Brin son. the present incumbent, it is under stood. will not be a candidate, and the honor will be contested for by two mem bers of the Augusta bar. Major W. T. Gary and Mr. Irvin Alexander. The for mer is now a representative of this coun ty in the legislature, and is known as a good lawyer. He will have strong sup port. Mr. Alexander is one of the younger members of the bar, and is at present serving as a member of the city council from the First ward. He is a studious young man, and since being a member of council has taken a very prominent part in the important questions that - hav® arisen regarding the granting of fran chises, etc. He is the son of ex-Mayor Alexander ,and he, too, will have strong backing. Then there is the congressional race. Though he has not as yet formally an nounced, Hon. T. W. Hardwick, of Wash ington county, is regarded as a candidate who will oppose Hon. W. H. Fleming, now serving his third term. Mr. Hard wick has many admirers here in Augusta. 1 who regard him as a very able young man. He is known as a good campaigner, who is expected to do his part to make it warm. Mr. Fleming Is saying nothing. He is preparing to go to Washington, where he will give his undivided attention to his congressional duties. At the proper time he will attend to his political business, and he is no novice at that sort of bus iness. The contest for county officers is also beginning to be talked about. Last year was the first contest for a county office Richmond county has had in a generation, and that was only for sheriff and clerk of the court. This year the probability is that there will be a contest for every office. Most of the county officers have held office for a long term of years, and two of them. Tax Collector Bohler and* Ordinary Walton, succeeded their fathers in office. FINDS A FRIEND. NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-According to Mrs. J. E. Snow, cousin of Jane Toppan, the alleged poisoner of Mrs. E.

These persons, whose families Mrs. Snow says Miss Toppan served as nurse, but whose names she refuses to give, will see that the prisoner is represented by the ablest counsel that can be procured in Massachusetts, and several of them, it is said, will testify in her behalf when the case comes, to trial. CAR FAMINE HITS IRON HARD BLOW. NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—The Iron Trade Review this week will say the feature of the week in iron and steel is the bank ing of fifteen central western blast furn aces because there have not been cars enough .o carry them the needed supplies of coke. The threatened effect of the car famine has become a reality sooner than ex pected, and the disturbing feature of the situation is that no great relief is likely to be afforded short of the end of the month. What curtailment of the pig iron output in November will result from the car shortage cannot be measured. The same cause is operating to cut down con sumption. but it will be difficult to strike the balance. SAVE TRAYLOR, SPENCER & CO.’S TOBACCO TAGS.
