The sesion of the Sugar Cane Grow

one of great interest. At the morning
session Senator A. S. Clay made a neat
address, introducing U. S secretary of
Agrionltnre James Wilson, who spoke
on the subject of "Agricultural Educa

"Soils and fertilizers in oonneotion
with cane growing” was the sobjeot of
a most interesting talk by Dr. H. W

Prof. H. E Stockbrid-je, of Lake City.

The question of holding in Athene

uow being agitated among the Masons
ia this city.
It will be takvu up at the regular
mouthly meeting of Mt. Vernon Lodge
next Thursday night and as the senti

of its not being adopted. Thera are ful

would be an annual attendance of at

MANIFESTLY UNJUST
the Present Arrangement the
Local Office Has of Delivering
Packages and a Change is
Wanted at Once.
The city council took action yester
day afternoon in regard to the Southern
Express Company in refusing to deliver
packages to people living on the eastern
side of the Oconee river, although they
deliver them outside of the city limits,
even on this side of the river.
Alderman Foster introduced a resolu
tion settion forth the manifest in
justice in such a position and calling up
on the Express Company to rescind the
rule.
The resolution was opposed by some
the aldermen on the ground that the
oonncil had no right to dictate to any
company how it should manage Us busi
ness. To this the reply was made that
the Express Company is a common car
rier and that it is amendable to the rules
the Railroad Commission and that the
mere Expression of the mayor and coun
cil of Athens ou the subject could have
no binding effect, it being merely the
Bentiment of the body as to a practice
which was manifestly unjust
The resolution passed by a decided ma
jority and a copy will be forwarded to
Superintendent Hnlburf, of the South
ern Express Company. It is believed
that the express officials will right this
tion by the conncil officials.

The improper selection of foed drives
many a healthy person into the depths

••I had terrible night sweats and my

at that time and my wife saw some
Grape-Nuts in a grocery there. She
bought some and dnrsnaded me to try
it. I had no faith in it bat took it to

distress me as all other food had done

Alderman Lipscomb introduced a re
solution in conncil yesterday that has a
f.rreaching effect, and before it is put ou
its passage will cause a great deal of die-
enssion.
There is already a resolution requiring
the construction of all stove flues ac
cording to certain specifications. The
resolution introduced yesterday requires
all owners of honses ia Athens to con
form their stove flues to the require
ments of the first resolution within thirty
days.
A motion to suspend the rules and
pass the ordinance at the meeting yes
terday was defeated and it goes over
until the next regular meeting of the
council. It was pointed ont that the
resolution would affect almost every
house in Athens. Alderman Lipscomb
said that It had been found out that
nearly all of the fires in this city origi
nated from defective stove floes and
that it is to remedy this trouble that hiB
resolution was introduced.
In a game by all odds the most ex
citing of the season the Georgians went
down in defeat after a glorious straggle
before Vanderbilt. The contest has
never been equalled on Herty field and
thrilled with interest from start to
finish.
The commodores and crackers walked
hand and hand with defeat and victory,
and until the winning run was made in
the last half of the nihth with two men
ont, the result wae in doubt.
The decided feature of the game was
the terrific hitting of both sides in
which Georgia won ont by one single.
Harmon led the batting with three hits
ont of six times at the bat. Other fea
tures were the three base hit of Ander
son, the swat of Erown that netted four
boys, aud the sensational stop of a
grounder that looked like a hit by
Fleischman.
Georgia had the game won at two or
three timeB, but opportune hitting by
the orange aud blacks pulled them out
of the hole. Vanderbilt played a won-
derfnl uphill game.
Coach Reynolds was greatly pleased
with the way his boys played the game,
and says that only Georgia’s hard luok

Whooping Cough.
A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.
She says: "Our three children took
whooping cough last sammer, our baby
being only three months oid, and owing
to our giving them Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, they lost none of their plump
ness and came ont in much better health
than other children whose parents did
not nse this remedy. Oar oldest little
girl would call lnstily for cough syrnp
between whoops.”—Jessie P*nkey Hall,
Springfield, Ala. This remedy is for
I sale by all druggists.
A Startling Test.

writes: “A patient waB attacked with
violent hemorrhages, cansod by ulcera
tion of the stomach. I had often found
Electio Bitters excellent for acute stom
