East week the average cit ten would have sold out our chances at ten cents on the dollar— this morning they are considerable ibove par. Eveiythmg now points to a realization of our most san guine hopes, and we see no reason lor doubting that before the leave* begin to fall ilirt will be broken on the link that will connect Athens with a southern trunk line. The Macon road is now being rapidly- graded in this direction, and be'.ore many weeks hands will he at work on the Georgia Midland. The mon ey is now in hank to grade and equip this latter load to Locust Grove, on theE. T,Va.X Ga. It is a settled fact that neilher road will go to Atlanta, and it is umea sonab'e that they will tap some lit- wav station and there stop. In tact, it is the mission of both these new roads to release the respective cit ies Irom which they start from the domination of the Cential syndi cate. It is the opinion of men vers ed in railroad movements that a t:ade is now being negotiated in New York by which these two lines will meet at some point on thr Georgia road—probably Madison or Social Circle—when the Rich mond & Danville will build a branch reaching out Irom Alliens and take them both in. The Macon and Co lumbus roads can never be rivals, and being independent lines car, be used bv their ally, the R. & D to mutual advantage. The two roads wdl pour into the lap of thi yreat syndicate a share of the f eight from a new and extensive territory \nat other lines now reap, while the R. & D., in return, can give these infant roads rates on both Eastern and Western freights that will enable them to compete with the oldest and strongest com panies. It is further stated, and most reasonably, too,that the North- Eastern will then he extended through to Knoxville, giving a short and direct Western connec than. In this event, it is impossible to overestimate the future of Ath ens. We will rival Atlanta in every commercial advantage, and be the great mart for Northeast and Mid dle Georgia. This will obviate the necessity of building the Augusta & Chottanooga road, for the former city can secure the same advantage by completing an independent line to Athens as if she ran through to the Tennessee river. Of courst the Central syndicate will not sub mit to this inroad into its territory w thoet tetaliation and an effort to recover what it has lost, ard a way is open. The Athens branch can be extended on to Jefferson, at a nominal cost; the narfow. gauge line from that point to Gainesville widened; the Dahlonega road-bed secured Iot its equipment, and fiom thence extended to tap the Wes tern it Atlantic, or even built through to Chattanooga. This se cures for the Central syndicate its own Western connection, at a com paratively small outlay, and restores to Athens a great part of the moun tain trade. Then there is a fine prospect of the road from Abbe ville, S. C., via Elberton, being eventually built here, and if the other projects are carried out it will spur up the work. These are all the roads we need to make Athens a great city, ar.d there is nothing visionary in piedicting a realization of all our hopes. Men who are in a position to know say that the Richmond & Danville means to act fairly by Athens, and our citizens may look anv day to hear that ar rangements have been perfected by winch we will get one, if not both, the new Southern roads. ,«n coiqum, mown 4,.u »„d Blount Springs.

GORDON’S CANDIDAC’ It 1 i From the drift of recent‘ev \ve have little doubt but that Gen. John R. Gordon will be in the gu bernatorial race, and those who speak lightly of his candidacy know not what they are saying. He can and'wilt be defeated, if the right tactics are used; but just as surely as his enemies begin to fire into him broadsides of persgnal abuse, they will raise an element that will waft him into office. While the old sol dier cry is not as strong and effec tive as it was a few years ago, at the same time there are throughout the length ar.d breadth of Georgia thou sands of heroes of the Lost Cause who will buckle on their political armor in defense of the honor and • i name af so valiant an officet Gordon—while, on the othei hand, if not thus aroused, prefer, and will doubtless vote for, some other candidate. And that senato rial resignation matter must be very lightly touched upon, so as not to bring the “vindication” of Messrs. Brown and Colquitt into the issue, or the General’s enemies will have the great and invincible triumviate to combat—and this means an al most certain victory for Gordon. The people ot Georgia have had that old story rung into their ears until they are sick and tired of it, and woe unto the political ghoul that resurrects it. The alleged trade between Colquitt, Brown and Gordon w undisturbed. Unless some unlook- ed-for event transpires, Bacon will be the next Governor of Georgia. The people feel that he is fairiy en titled to the office, and are ready to ■eat him in the chair of state when the time comes. The battle has al ready been lought, and Major Ba con's ft tends have only to keep quiet, and not fall into any of the traps set for them, to triumph. They have only to argue that it is enough that Bacon has a rival in his own city to fight, without his ene mies bringing out a fresh oppo nent, that can scarcely claim Geotgia now as his home, and backed by the influence of a politi cal clique that has for years ruled the politics of Georgia, to encom pass his defeat. The public influ ence of Senators Colquitt and Brown cannot with propriety be brought into this campaign unless in attack is made on Gordon’s res- gnatian as U. S. Senator,and then these officers are not only given a loophole lor entering a contest that they doubtless feel deeply interested n, but the vindication of Gov. Col quitt’s official honor and Senator Brown's good name, forces it upon them. All three will then go he- fore the people of Georgia for vindi cation, and for mercy’s sake save us from another vindication campaign! If they are not thus invited into the contest, our Senators cannot well take an open and active part in the campaign without weakening their own strength by laying themselves liable to the charge of being partisan politicians. This excuse must not be given them, and when it comes to the relative merits and claims of Bacon and Gordon, the people have already made up their verdict in favor of the former. The only cam paign work necesary for Majot Ba con now is to keep in check his too ardent and injudicious ftiends. ' WEEKLY ' BANHErt-WATCHMAN TT7ESDAY, APRIL -1886 Witnesses. RECITE THE STORY. BOTH MALARIA AND PRISON. Af PEER ! ' NERVOUS DEBILITY CURED. For several years past my wife’s health ta„s been exceedingly feeble—a general breakdown of the nervous system front malaria. She was areally reduced in flesh. No remedy scented to do her auy good. In the spring of 1883 1 induced her to try Swift’s Specific. The first ito’tle gave her hope, and twenty bottles produced wonder ful results. She gained thirty pounds in flesh, and it renovated her wnole system. It is certainly the greatest tonic in the world.

I have for five years been suffering front what the physicians told me was malarial poisoning " Have taken a great deal of medicine for it, many times going through a regular course as prescribed for me, but got no relief.

After 1 had taken a num ber of bottles, 1 felt that my digestion and general health was improved, hat so far as I could tell I tie poison was still in my sys tem.

Flylne a Confederate Flat. Washington, April 19.—A faded Confederate flag floated in the breeze last Friday morning from a colored military armory. It had been run up the mast in honor ot Emancipation day. The colored sol dier detailed to this duty did not know the diflerence between a Con federate and Union flag, and got the wrong one. The three-barr ed emblem waved some time be fore the mistake was rectified. Several of the colored officers rush ed to the flagstaff, drew their swords ■nd whacked at the flag right and left, to the imminent peri! of life and limb, as it was hauled down. The unfortur-'te banner is kept as a souvenior by the company. There is to be u court martial in the camp. A Snake In a Man’s Stomach. Lewist6n, Me., April 19.—For the past six months a young man named Ferguson, living at Great Falls, ha* been failing, despite the .care of the physicians, none of whom could decide the cause ot his decline. Among many odd symp- toms was that ofa peculiar choking. This wit* riot understood until one dtiV ^i snake thrust its head out of tffff young man’s mouth. He called sister, who ’ wrapped a cloth arioririd heir hand, and when the Yilssirig Read appeared seized it, and with a ’’‘quick puli drew the Rut. ’ Her action killed her brother. The tail of the snake had- Kwh into the young 'man’s ; body, and in tearing it away a Wood ves- ae! was broken, and the young man bled to death. President Cleveland i« engaged to two ladies and will marry one in June. The time for his nuptials with the second fair candidate for mistress of the White House has not as yet been fixed by the oblig ing press. We are authentically informed that the Atlanta Constitution will not espouse the side of any Guber natorial candidate. We think it the right position for this great paper.

Five different physicians in private practice have siid the same thing. We took Iter to the wo. man’s hospital of this city, and there they re;>cated the same story. Dr. Emmett told us it was cancer, and she must tiie. We then took her U> Ilie.Ncw York College hospital, and lliev told us the same thing there—that she had cancer anti could live hut a very short lime. She was then car ried to roy house, where she awaited pa tiently the Coming ot death as her only re lief. We saw the advertisement of the Swift Specific Co., and as a’ “drowning man grasps at a stiaw," we went ' to the office of the company, and the physician told me to try it—that it could do her no possible barm, and that it would cure her. She had lost a great deal of flesh and strength, and it seemed folly to give her medicine after what we had been told. However, we commenced the S S. S., aud kept it up a month before we began to see auy improvement. From that tune on her general health improved, and she was soon raised from bed. The discharge increased so much that it frightened us, but we kept on, and the cancer came away in great sloughs and lumps. For two months now there lias been 110 hemorrhage, no sign of a discharge. Thank God, my tnottier is well. Mrs. Rebecca Cramer, 375 7th Ave. New York, Dec. 3,1885. Mercurial rheumatism made me a cripple.

Since flint time 1 have suffered tortures front an affection of the skin, rheumatism, and ul cerating seres. During those long years of disea-e I underwent treatment at the hands of leading physicians in Norwich, Hart ford, Providence, lie-ton and Chicago. Failing to get relief at one place I would go to another, inn met wittr the same treat ment aed effect everywhere.

AVe do not claim our remedy to he a specific for all diseases, but we do know it t» be a remedy for diseases of the blood It has been established beyond all doqbt ^ that scarcely any disease can find lodnjtn^nt with th e blood in good condition. To all these we say: If broken down in health, or your malady can be traced to a bad condition of your blood, take our SPECIFIC and you will not be disappointed. Our preparation removes the accumulated poison of a^es from die blond, ami we boldly assert that 00 per cent of all diseases arise from some corrupting intlucnc*of this, “the fountain of all life,” and we further as sert that the proper vegetable remedies are cures for blood diseases. A\ e would attain call your attention to the fact that in almost every instance where SWIFTS SPECIFIC was resorted to, it was after al remedies of the scientist had fui)»*d How much more potent the SPECIFIC would be could man be induced to avail himself of its powers before “ every other treatment had been n,” and the system impregnated wilh mineral poisons.

I have for the past five years been suffer* ing from what the physicians told me was niaUrial poisoning. Have taken a great deal of medicine for it, many times going through a regular course as prescribed for me, feasting on quinine, etc., but got no re lief. I have now taken one bottle of S. S. S., and I have no more chills and no bad teeling, and am free from the disease. It 1ms helped my appetite greatly and built me up generally. Joseph Anderson, 333 Third ave. New York, Dec. 9, 1885. About a year and a half ago I bnd blood poison. I was treated for the first three months by a doctor in the regular profes sion, and instead of geiting well I grew worse all the time. The eruption, the sore mouth and throat, and the falling hair pro gressed rigid along. A friend advised me o take S.S. S., and I have blessed him teyer since. By the time I had used the third bottle the disease began to disappear, and by the time I had taken ten bottles of the specific I was perfectly well, and have not since that time seen any sign of the disease. A. W. Crozier, 134 Thompson st. New York, February 1, 1880. MALARIAL POISON. For many long months I was a sufferer from malaria, and could get no relief. I eked out an existence in utter despair, hav ing vertigo and numerous unpleasant symptoms of that icsidions poison. I be gan taking S. S. S., and improved *t once. My appetite returned and my strength came again. The vertigo left, and from 120 pounds I went up to 100 pouuds, my pr es ent weight. It cured me perfectly, and tbrou gli me many others have beeu bene- fitted and cured by Swift’s Specific. J. C. Bingham, 112 E.. 24th st. New York, January 23, 1886. OLD POTASH ON CROTCHES New York Office* 157 West 32 Street. The brother on the left took the wrong way and fell among thieves.

The fortunate individual on the right found the right way. He got the genuine Swift's Specific which forced out the poi son and built up his health from the very first dose. LUNG TROUBLE RELIEVED. Three and a half years ago I gave up my business on account of consumption. I spent two seasons in Florida, and one in California. I have been under treatment of physicians all the time, among them some of the most prominent in this city, and I have kept growing worse and worse. 1 got to be a mere shadow, and could scarcely walk. On the 14th of last Sep tember I kept my bed, for I was not able to get out of it, and the doctors as well as my Iriends, all expected me never to come out of it alive. I was having frequent and profuse hemorrhages, and ou three different occasions I hied until I became insensible. About six weeks ago, I beard of 9. S. S., and began taking it. Its effects have been wonderful. I have not bad a hemorrhage since 1 began it. I was soon nble to sit up and even dress myself. My appetite be came good. I could eat and retain my food, and my color returned. I gained flesh and strength rapidly, and I am now walking about town wherever I wish to go. it is certainly a great surprise to me and everyone who knows me. Long since they have all expected me to die. I am willing and want all who suffer with lung disease to know of me and my case, and I advise all such to take Swift’s Specific and live. These are not idle words, but abso lute facts. Which will wilh pleasure, be substantiated for anv who may doubt. LOUIS T. CLARK, 315 West Twelfth street New York, February 9, 1886. REMARKABLE RECOVERY. I was two months in a hospital in this city rnder treatment for blood poison. When I left there I had no appetite, was thin, weak, an.! could scarcely walk. The unrelieved disease and the treatmeut had so reduced me that I could scarcely put one foot before the other. I began taking S. S. S., aud the first bottle even had a telling ef fect upon me. My appetite improved with the first dqse, and I gained flesh and strength rapidly. The disease began to pass away, and very soon every trace of it was gone. Swift’s Specific is a wonderful remedy. It invigorates and builds up the system generally while effecting a cure, in stead ol reducing one to death’s door aud only giving temporary relief, as the old line of treatment does. To me there was new life in every dose. Geo. F". Johnston, 813, Seventh Ave. New York, Jan 20, 1886. AM09T REMARKABLE CASE. During the summer of 1884 suff-ring from Blood Poisoning, the result of gun shot wound/received during the ‘ late un pleasantness,” my attention was called to the remedy of 8.

Tlte iff struck the elbow joint and went through. It completely crushed all, tlte ar- ticulativc surface of the humorous so that both condyles and say four incites of the shaft of the bone was removed by the sur geon. Il also severed the ulnar nerve. The operation left the arm much shortened ond limber, but it was very useful. Some time in the fail of 1879 H commenced to swell and infinite below the elbow, and soon after it suppurated and discharged horribly offensive mitt'er. The bone spread until the entire fore arm was a pu trid mass encroaching both on the back and paftn of the hand. I was warned by the surgeons that this might happen in after life from nerve and {blood poverty below the elbow. My condition may be imag ined at that time The wound was so of fensive that I could hardly remain in a close room. I tried many remedies, exter nal and internal but to|no avail. In June, 1884,1 saw the advertisement of Swift’s Specific in the city papers, and I wrote im mediately to the house in Atlanta, receiv ing the following as a reply. “We fear our 8. S. S. will do you do good except as a tonic” The very frankness of ihe reply induced me to try it. 1 w as a good patient and rigidly followed toe directions. The first bottle nearly drove me crazv with symptoms I cannot describe, but it, (and I feel a lump iu my throat as ( write it.) en tirely removed tiie frightful smell, which bad tormented me, and all who come iu contact with me, to long a time. As I con tinued the use of the medicine, say in a month or six weeks, marked impiovemeni wna apparent, until as the winter ai-t in, it bad so healed that 1 could and did wear a sleeve on triy under clothing, which I had not done in three years befyre. The ulcer wos very obstinate, and it was not until the middle of 1885 that it was entirely well. All redness and soreness has disap peared. Hair is growing on tiie arm aa be fore, and I ascribe ah this to Swift's Spec ific. Had I dreamed of aueh success f would have had the arm photographed be fore taking the medicine, Inal all might see the improvement. 1 hate lived here forty years and am well known, and am ady to .nswer all uiq iinc- from aufler- errs in reiereuce to this case. John P. Smith, 56 Carondelet street, Jttw Orleans, Attor ney at law. February 25 1886. A COPPERSMiTH S STORY. I ant a coppersmith by trade, and during series ot years my arms (being Lure wheu at work) nave absorbed a wonderful amount of metal poison. Having a scrofu lous tendency from mv youth, ttie small particles of copper aud brass would get into the sores, and by this process the poison was conveyed into iny blood till my whole system became infected. I was tre.n-d with me old remedies of mercury and to dide potassium. Salivation tollowed, my teeth ar«- all loose in my head, my digi-siivt* organs deranged, and 1 have been hrlpicss in bed for ov» r a year with mercutial rhi-u matism. My joints wi re all swollen, and 1 lost the use oi mv arms and legs entirely. My sufferings became so intense that ii was impossible for ine to rest. The doc tors advised me lo go lo the city hospital for treatnteni- This I could not bear. A friend, who has proved a friend indeed, urged me to try Swift's Specific, believing it would cure me. Others discouraged me, hut I secured a tew bottle-, and have now taken two dozen boities. The first eff ct ot the medicine was to bring the poison to the surface, and I broke out all over in tun ning sores. They soon disappeared and my skin cleared off My knee-, wi.icb had become twice tbetr natural size, have re sumed their usual size and are supple as of yore. My arms and ban i- aie all rigln again, and can use them without pain The emire disease has lefl all parts ol the body save two ulcers on my wrists, which are Itealmg rapidly. I am weak from long confinement, but I have the use of all my limbs. This medicine is bringing me out of the greatest trial of my life, and I cannot find words sufficient to express my appre ciation of its virtues, aud tlte gratitude I feel that I ever heard ot it. Peter E. Love, Augusta, Ga. CANCER CURED. About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on nty cheek, and the doctors pro nounced it cancer. I nave tried a number of physicians, but without receiving any permanent benefit. Amoug the ,number were one or two specialists The medi cine they applied was like tire to the sore, causing intense pciu. 1 saw a statement in the papers telling what S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at ouce. Before I had used the sec ond bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general health had been bad for two or three years—I uad a backing cough and spit blood continually. Iliad a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S S. S. my cough left me and 1 grew stouter than I had beeu for several years. -My can cer has healed over all but a little spot about tbesize of a half dime, and it is rap idly disappearing. I would advise every one with cancer lo give S. S. S a fair trial. Mbs. Nancy J. McConacghky, Ashe Grove, Tippecanoe Co., Ind. Feb. 16,1886. BLOOD POISON. , About a year ago I had bio od poison and it attacked my throat in a very severe form. I got a physician to treat me, and tor three months he burned my throat nut every day. During the lasl three weeks I was under bis care it was almost impossi ble for me to swallow even a spoonful of water. I was reduced to 101 pounds in weight, and the doctor told me 1 could not live- 1 gave up his medicines and liegan taking Swift's Specific, using the gargle di rected in the circular. It was with great difficulty I could swallow the medicine, thougii it was pleasant to the taste; but I persevered in tt, and in three weeks I could not trom my feelings tell that my throat ever was affected. 1 could swallow any thing I wished without the slightest diffi culty, and seemed entirely well. 1 coiiim- ued the medicine, and in less than four mouths I had gone up in Weight sixty-nine pounds, now weighing 170 pounds. Tins may sound fisny to some, but if the doubt ing will write to me or any one in Boon- ton, they cau easily have Ihe truth. Alfted Husk, P. O. Box, 593. Boonton, N. J. Feb. 23,1886. EARS ALMOST EATEN OFF. About eight months ago I contracted blood poison. 1 was treated by a private physician on Thirty first street, and then for a month at the New York hospital. Finding I did hot improve, I begao taking Swift’s Speeific. Up to this time 1 bad a drowsy and sleepy feeling continually, with no appetite, and was losing fli-sb rap idly. I was covered the ankle*,, arms, neck aud toce with sores, aud it seemed that my cars would be eaten off. 1 have taken seven bottles of tbe 8. S. 8., and the sores nre all gone except a few ou my fore head, and they are nearly out of sight; my cars are entirely well, my appetite is splen did, and I have gained five pounds In weight. I feel so perfectly well that I know in a short time I will be souudly cured. Frank E. Keene. 405 W. 71st st. New York, Feb. 18,1886. ° p THE-^ SWIFT’S menu Known Nearly all kill WORLD.

The Contest In Morgan County. The question “lor” or “against” ihe sale of liquor is waxing warmer. Rev. Mr. W hite, ol your city, ad dressed the colored element o'l the place in the court house - Saturday afternoon. He is a Baptist preacher and knows how to talk to his race. He seems, singularly enough, to have received a warmer welcome from the Methodists than he did from the Baptists, and the latter, with some exceptions, are either neutral, or for the sale, while the former are generally against it. If this peculiar division prevails among these people throughout the county as it does in Madison, and causes something like a tie in the colored vote, the prohioitionitts will win in the race, lor it is conceded that « majority of the whites are for stop ping tho sale. -Harrison Harris, a prominent colored politician and leading Methodist, is a pronounced prohibitionist, and extended that courtesy and hospitality to White which he perhaps would have re ceived from some Baptist brother, but for this queer, state of things ,among the two denominations., It is spid by those who heard him tljat White made a good speech.—Mad ison Letter in Augusta News.

Last week there was a dead alli gator on Lucas’ whart that measur ed twenty and a half feet. This saurian was killed in Rice Creek by Brown, a colored resident of that section. Its circumference was something unusual, and it was much commented on by those who saw it as it lay on the dock. Next day the alligator was skinned and stuf fed. W^jen cut open it was found to contain twenty bushels of eggs, two pine logs in a perfect state ol preservation, a log chain, the bow stem ot a boat, a negro boy, a small iron chest arid lightwood splinters enough to steam any boat ten miles.

The greatest physical curiosity of the age has been found in Laurens county. Darwin’s missing link has been discovered. The fact that a boy now over 12 yeurs of age still wears dresses, has long excited the curiosity of the Darrah community in Laurens county. His parents ex plained this by saying that he was deformed and could not wear ordina* ry trousers. The boy runs and jumps as well as other children, and shows no signs of deformity. The .mystery has been solved by a phy- cian who recently attended him while he had fever. He says that the boy’s backbone Is prolonged into a tail about eight inches in length, and that it is covered with a thick growth of hair. The tail wags just like a dog’s. His parents made sev eral attempts to make the boy wear trousers, but whenever the caudal appendage is bent to one side it painr him, , The boy is active and in perfect health. i m i tub, . ■ A RELIABLE ARTICLE.
