Was a “Disreputable Assault.”
The cltlsens of Buford and officials
of the Methodist church, at a meeting
held Sunday, adopted resolutions con-
. deinning the attack made by'Latham
R. Winn upon Rev. Clement C. Cary,
because of certain statements made in
his sermon at Lawrencevllle a week
ago alleged to reflect upon the ladles
of a house party given by Mr. Winn’s
mother and sisters.
These resolutions characterize
i to i
Winn’s action as a “disreputable as
sault” and also indorse the sermon
delivered on that occasion by Rev. Mr.
Cary and assert there was nothing ob-,
Jectlonable In his remarks.
Rev. Mr. Cary was attacked and
struck by Mr. Winn a week ago, be
cause It was charged that his remarks
had reflected upon the ladles of the
Winn house party which was given on
the Methodist camp meeting ground at
Lawrencevllle. The proximity of the
house party to the services was what
Rev. Urr Cary principally objected to,
and this led to whatever statements ho
made concerning it' The affair crea
ted quite a sensation In Lawrence
vllle and Gwinnett county and led to
a strong statement from the minister
himself.

“UNCLEAN BIRDS”
Is Editor Wntterson’s Accusation
Against riembjrs of the "400”
in Newport Society.
In an editorial In the Louisville
Courier-Journal, entitled “A Flock of
Unclean Birds" Henry Watterson
says:'
"The four hundred contrive to keep
themselves constantly before the pub
lic. Yet, somehow, it is their scan
dals, not their benefactions, that ad
vertise them.
“But yesterday It was the Fair trag
edy In France that recalled the Infe
licities and vulgarities of a family
which, except for Its millions, would
have decorated the criminal Instead of
the social annals of its time.
"Today’s sensation relates to the
Van Alens, an off-shoot of the Asters
“It will be remembered that one J.-
J. Van Alen, an ambitious donkey with
dollars, thought la advance to be the
representative of Grover Cleveland—
In case be was elected—to the Italian
mission, subscribed, It was said, fifty
thousand of the Astor shekels to the
campaign fund.
“The story got out, and, character
istically, Mr. Cleveland, having had the
usufruct ot the money, repudiated the
deal. This Is the same Van Alen
whose daughter defied his wishes and
married the man of her own selection
a few weeks ago.
“Now comes the Remington suicide,
and we learn that it was all on ac
count 6f another of the Van Allen
girls, and so it goes. We never hear
of the four hundred except it be a
murder, a suicide or a divorce. A shot
fired into a flock ot these unclean
birds cannot miss bitting an Injured
husband, a recreant and disgraced
wife or at the least a gilded nincom
poop Ilka Van Alen. Sr."
A special from Norfolk, Va., says:
(p a head-on collision between two
cars on the pay Shore Terminal line*
late Sunday three people were killed
and many others badly Injured. The
dead are: W. S. Yandall, motorman;
C. B. Colden, motorman; Linwood Fen
tress, aged 10. Fifteen of the passen-
bers were seriously Injured.
The accident occurred about 3 1-2
miles from Norfolk. One car was com
ing from Ocean View and the other go
ing out. The orders were that the
Shorebound bar should wait at the eld
ing for the other. Motorman W. S.
Yandall endeavored to jump, but was
crushed In the telescoped cars. Mo
torman C. D. Colden, of the other egr,
applied hls airbrakes as soon as he
saw the danger, but the collision oc
curred on a curve and then tried to
jump, as did Linwood Fentress, son of
R. B. Fentress, president of the Nor
folk Cold Storage and Ice Company.
Both Cofden and young Fentress were
caught under the platform of the
shorebound car, which piled up on the
other, and were killed outright.
Both cars were full of Sunday ex
cursionists and tew escaped injury.
Help was phoned to Norfolk for and
physicians and ambulances were hur
ried to the scene. In the meantime a
large number of the Injured were ta
ken to the city In private conveyances.
There Is no complete list of the In
jured.
A coroner’s Jury viewed the dead
and took some testimony, but adjourn
ed until Wednesday.

JiEQUISUION IS HONORED.
Massachusetts Governor Turns OTer
Negro to Carolina Officials.
A special from Boston says: Gov
ernor Crane has honored the requisi
tion for Julian A. Oster, the negro
wanted by the authorities of South
Carolina, charged with the murder
of Lewis White, another negro at
Newmarket, Greenwood county,. 8. C.,
and Governor McSweeney has been
notified.
Mrs. M. K. Bousch, Richmond, Va.,
writes:
“I had catarrh all through m'v sys
tem/or two yearn and could get no
relict. I was advised to try Peruna,
and f have taken five bottles of tt and
am well and better now than I have
been for years. 1 can advise any one
who has eatarrh of any part of the
body to take Peruna. Uy little girl,
who Is eleven years old, had eatarrh,
but was cured by Peruna. Before I
began to take Peruna 1 was sick all
the time, but now I am entirety
cured and all praise Is due Peru
na.”—Mrs. If. X. Bousoh.
Miss Pesrl Bousch writes: “When I wsa
1 baby I contracted eatarrh, and was doc
tored by. several good physicians, but non*
did me any good. My mother was takiog
Peruna at the time and gave some of ii
to me, and I soon began to improve, and
am now well and fat as a little pig. I am
twelve years old. The doctors tola mother
I had the consumption, but it was only ca
tarrh."—Miss Pearl Bousch. — . ►
, It is no longer a question as to whether
Peruna can be relied on to cure all such
cases. During the many years in whiejt
Peruna has been put to test in. all forms
and atages of acute and chronic catarrh
no one year has put this remedy to greater
test than the past year.
Peruna is the acknowledged catarrh rem
edy of the age. Dr. Hartman, the com-
poundcr of Peruna, has written a book on
the phases of catarrh peculiar to women,
entitled, "Health and Beauty.” It will b*
sent free to any address by The Peruna..
Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio.
If, you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,.
write at once to 'Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and ho will ba-
pleased to. give you his valuable advice
gTatis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President of The-
Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.
