A REVENUE REFORMER.
Some time in October, during the ad
journed term of Oconee Superior Court,
Hon H. H Carlton addressed the people
of that county upon the political issues of
the day. Among other things, he touched
upon the necessity for a revision of the
tariff and took a strong and decided stand
iu favor of it, especially in the interest
of the agricultural classes In reading
tho message of President Cleveland wo
wore struck by tho identity of his views
upon this subject, with those expressed
by Hr. Carlton, in his Watkinsville
speech. They are undoubtedly both on
the same platform, and it is a sound one.
It is' gratifyinc to the conatituents of ’>r.
Carlton to know that the position he took
bofore the people in his canvass, is en
dorsed by the President The adminis
tration will find in him a firm supporter
in its efforts to revise the tariff and re
duce the burden upon the farming
classes. Tho democratic party is com
mitted to tariff reform, for it is the party
of the people. The republicans are the
allies of the monopolists, and the future
alignments of the two parties on this
issue will be sharply drawn. We ap
plaud our cong -*ssman for his straight
forward and sensible course upon this
question, and will support his efforts to
lessen the burdens of tho people by a
substantial reduction of taxation. No
friend of the people can be an advocate
of a high tariff. Every dollar taken out
of the products of the people by a pro
tective tariff, goes into the swollen cof
fer* of monapoli8ts without benefit to
the government Whenever a duty is
ikia'd high enough to make it absolutely
] rohihitory, no revenue is produced, hut
the protected man is enriched, and it is
always at the expense of the great body
of tiie consumers.
As l)r. Carlton said in his speech above
referred to, the Southern farmer pays a
tax in the shape of import duty on eve
rything he buys, but gets no return, foT
his cotton crop is not and cannot be pro
tected by any duty. This is his market
crop, and when he sells it a turns
around to buy ho has to pay increased
prices for everything he needs from a
shingle nail or a bar of iron to the hat
and shoes on his head and feet This
increase in price is the direct result of
the duty put on these articles by the
tariff, and is taken out of the pockets of
the farmer and added to the profits of
the mannfacturers. Its injustice is
glaring. It is a burden laid upon the
large poor class for the benefit of the
favored few. Such is the tariff in its
present shnpc, and we give God-speed
to all who arc engaged in the effort to
revise it.
Last week there was buried on the
banks of the Etowah, in Bartow county,
one of the most popular and one of the
truest men in Cherokee Georgia. The
soul of generosity, he lived for hia fam
ily and his frieuds. His warm heart
beat in sympathy with his neighbors, and
it is doubtful if he had an enemy in the
county. Hundreds of people in this
State have visited him at his place on
Etowah Heights, and have felt his genial
hand-clasp and enjoyed his sunny pres
ence. All of these sympathise with the
family of Capt. Charles T. SheUman in
his death, and mourn the loss of a knight
ly spirit and Christian gentleman.
The movement in behalf of direct trade
in this State has attracted wide attention.
Col. Thomas P. Stovall, who is working
for the London Exposition, in Atlanta
and Augusta, has aroused deep interest
in his work. A proper display of Geor
gia products in England wouid bring ont
more men like Worthington and interest
syndicates from the old country in this
State. When England is once interested
in the South, lines of steamships from
our ports to British harbors would quick
ly follow.
If possible, the tax rate of the State
should be maintained at its present fig
ure. If there is any doubt that the ex
penses of the State will exceed the
amount raised they should be cut down
The increase of taxation on tho heels of
short crop would be burdensome and
disheartening. It is the example as
much as the actual amount raised, and
we trust if possible, the present rate will
be made to answer.
The railroad commmittee has reported
favorably upon the hill confirming the
charter of the Macon and Covington
Railroad. To have done otherwise
would have been short-sighted and sui
cidal. The men who have put their
faith in the promise of the State to grant
them rights under the general raoilroad
law should not be trifled with. The
State was bound to keep the faith with
them and has done so.
The best thing gotten off in the rail
road meeting was by Col. Bryant, of Lo-
gansville. “Gentlemen,” said he, look
ing at Gen. Hoke and Mr. Smith, with
eyes swimmiag in tears, and his broad
cloth coat wrinkled by eloquent gestures,
“our lands and our pockets are open to
pou. All you have to do is to come in
and go through them." Logansville
deserves a depot.
OLD-TIME LAWS.
AN INTEBESTING CASE IN OLD
CLARKE.
The directors of the Columbia Theo
logical Seminary having again failed to
secure the resignation of Dr. Woodrow,,
have passed a resolution summarily re
moving him from his professorship. Dr.
Weodrow has refused all along to resign,
as that would be an admission of his
error.
(kerl9k Held Responsible for the Safe-
Xeeplng of Prisoners-^The Oconee County
Jail--An Intereitlnx Story of Long Ago.
Yesterday meming a B.-W. reporter
was oat on a still bunt for locals, when
chance led him into the room of Uncle
Calvin Johnson, in the Franklin House
building. Uncle Calvin was sitting in
front ef a good fire toasting his shins,
and gave the visiting scribe a kind wel
come. In reply to a request to give the
history of the imprisonment and release
of John Tatty from the Clarke county
jail in 1838, the old gentleman replied:
“Yes, 1 remember John Tatty well,
for I clerked for him before I was elect
ed Clerk of Court, and when he mer
chandised at Salem, in what is now Oco
nee connty. He was a kind, genial gen
tleman, and as honest as the day is long.
He did a good business, and made money,
for in those days you could credit any
one, for everybody paid their debts. But
unfortunately John Tatty decided to
open a branch of his business at the
Brick Store, in Newton county, and put
in charge of it George Bovce, a young
man he brought out from New York. I
had no confidence in Boyce, for I once
heard him say that every man had bis
price and no woman was virtuous, and
cautioned Mr. Tatty against entrusting
so much to him. My advice soon prov
ed correct, for Boyce gambled away and
squandered his employer's property and
Tatty foynd himself insolvent There
was a law imprisoning for debt then in
vogue, and among Tatty’s creditors was
Older Neal, to whom he owed abont $4,
000. He was taken with a bail writ ar.d
confined in the debtors’ room of the
present jail of Oconee county, which is
up-stairs. Capt James Hendon, grand
father to Mrs. Isaac Lowe, of Athens,
and one of the best and most honest men
1 ever knew, was sheriff, and Richard
E. Burke, father to Rev. John W. Burke,
of Macon, the jailor. I gave Mr. Tatty
employment in jail to copy official papers
for me, and furnished him with writing
material and a table. The prisoner
cl'mbed up on the table and succeeded
in cutting a hole through the inner walls
of the jail. His friends from the outside
cut another, and through this Tatty ef
fected his escape, and went to Alabama,
where he died in about eighteen months.
There was then a law in Georgia that
held the sheriff responsible for the safe
keeping of a prisoner, unless he was re
leased by the the act of God nr the King’s
enemies. Mr. Neal began suit against
Capt. Hendon to recover the amount of
the debt that he had lost by the escape
of Tatty. The defendant was not very
well represented, and judgment was
found against him for the full amount of
Tatty’s debt. Capt. Hendon died before
the claim was settled and the estate di
vided among his children. But they
were made to give up the property to
settle an obligation for which their father
was in no way responsible. In less than
twelve months the supreme court ren
dered a decision in direct opposition to
the law under which Capt. Hendon’s
property was held subject.”

shipped it to Jug Tavern, and mere
mounted the machine and spent several
days at the throttle guiding it over the
hills of Jackson county. After remain
ing in our midst with the machine for
about two weeks, he started with a
strange woman by his side, for Hart
copnty. He gave a free exhibition of his
navigating machine at Harmony Grove
and continued his travels. Warrants
have been issued for his arrest and sent
to the Sheriff of Hart county. Thus far
we have no news of his arrest or the re
covery of the engine. He forged and de
livered to the Augusta Co., mortgage
notes with clerks certificate of record,
and a deed to land in Franklin county.
W. T. Bennett, Clerk. H. C. Appleby, J.

The BanJEx-WiTCHHAH has already
alluded to the presence in Athens of the
British capitalist, Worthington, who rep
resents an English syndicate holding a
quantity of the Macon and Covington
Railroad bonds.
Mr. Worthington, while in Athens was
the guest ol Judge W. B. Tnomas. He
was seen by a number of prominent citi
zens, and expressed himself pleased with
the resources and and the development
of the country, which are much greater
than he eipeatod to find. Mr. Worth
ington visited fijacon, Birmingham and
Athens and was particularly interested
in Georgia.
He was not so much impressed with
Birmingham as might have^been suppos
ed. He is a cookpractical Englishman, and
regarded the feverish Alabama town
as too fall of speculative venture. His
eye delighted more in the rich farms and
solid cities of Georgia there is the blast
furnaces and forced values of Binuing-

Office ot State Chemist.—AthenB, Ga
June 27,1884.—I have been familiar for
a number ol years with Hie general
character of Prof.Horaford’s phosphatk-
preparations. Recent examinations
made by me of the “Acid Phosphate”
and “Bread Preparation,’ show them
to be exactly what is claimed for them
in theelrculara accompanying the pack
ages. The “ Acid Phosphate’’ is a con
centrated solution in water of Acid
Phosphate of Lime. The “ Bread Pie
parauon” is a mixture of Void Phos
phate of Lime, carbonate of soda and
flour. When mixed with water, carbonic
acid gas is liberated and a double phos
phate of lime and soda Is formed and
remains in the bread when baked. In
ordinary cream ct tartar baking powders
the substance left in the bread after
“raising” is rocheUe salts—a ^double
art rate of soda and potash. The phos
phates are ugelul mineral substances in
animal nutrition and growth, the tar-
rates are not. tn my opinion, the
phoephatic Powder is, therefore pre
ferable to the other, so tor as health is
concerned. H. C WHITE.
SohePios.—Mr. J. H. Langford, of
Oconee, was in the city yesterday, and
tells ns that Mr. W. H. Doolittle, of that
connty, this week killed two shoats, one
year old, one of which weighed 310 and
the other 250 pounds.
Siiobt Chops-—There is no disguising
the fact that the cotton crop is at least
25 per cent short of what was expected
thirty days ago, and hard times are on
the country. Everything, however, is
prosperous at the North, and there is no
danger of a panic.

Excitement in Texas
Great excitement has been caused in
the vicinity of Paris, Tex, by the remark
able recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley, who
was so helpless he could not turn in bed,
or raise his head; everybody said he was
dying of Consumption. A trial bottle of
Dr. King’s New Discovery was sent him.
Finding relief, he bought a large bottle,
and a box of Dr. King’s New Life Pills;
by he time he had taken two boxes of
Pills and two bottles of the Discovery, he
was well and had gained in flesh thirty-six
pounds.

THE DADE COAL MINES-
WHOLESALE HOUSES.
The establishment of a wholesale dry
goods house in Athens is one of the most
hopeful and helpful evidences wo have
seen in a long time. '
Wholesale houses bring trade to a city.
Heretofore we have had no distinctive
establishment of this sort, although some
of our merchants conducted a large job
bing trade. Our grocery stores-sold
largely to dealers, much even of this
trade was lost by the absence of a johbing
dry goods house. Scores of country
merchants who could not buy their dry
goods stock in Athens preferred to pur
chase groceries where they bought other
goods; hence Atlanta has absorbed a vol
ume of trade which rightly belongs
to us.
With the opening of the large whole
sale house in Athens in January, we
have a new element of commercial
atrength, It will give a strong and sym
metrical setting to spring trade. It will
bring buyers and merchants, will attract
cotton and seekers for supplies; in other
words, it will give Athens a new impor
tance in the country.
AU such enterprises arc welcome.
DR. W. C. M’ENTYRE.
This well known gentleman was laid
to rest at Hebron church, in Banks coun
ty, on Friday, and a large concourse of
friends and relatives followed him to his
last resting place. Dr. McF.ntyre had
suffered for years with heart disease,
and expected to drop dead at any
moment. He was in every sense of the
word a man, and often has it been said
that Dr. McEntyre never thought wrong
of any one or cherished an ill feeling.
We have known him daring the war.
He joined that gallant band of heroes
known as the Banks County Guards, and
was in nearly all tho battles of Northern
Virginia, and when not in the battles he
was hack at the hospitals attending to
the wounded. Dr. McEntyro was about
50 yoirs old at his death, and leaves
, v ife and several children to mourn his
’css. Franklin county will miss him,
and his friends deeply sympathize with
hi i bereaved family.
Hox. A. U. Bacon made an argument
in Atlanta before the railroad committee.
He reviewed the history of the move-
. meat to charter and build the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad, and said
the effort of the Macon and Covington
railroad was to discredit their enterprise,
oust them of their righto and reap the
benefits of their thought and labor. Ma
jor J. F. Hanson, of Macon, addressed
the committee. His address was in favor
of the Covington and Macon railroad
charter. He argued that it was the set
tled policy of the State to encourage all
bona fide railroad projects. He made
some interesting revelations concerning
the Georgia Southern and Florida rail-
road. Among other things, the said that
Col. L. F. Livingston had tranferred to
the Directors of the Georgia Southern
dad Florida an interest in a charter,
which interest he had previously trans
ferred for cash to the Covington and
Macon.
Tax re-appointment of Hon. L. M.
Trammell to he railroad Commissioner
seems to give general satisfaction. He
hag tried to do perfect justice between
the railroads and the people, and the im
pression is thatbe has. His colleagues
, of the commission speak highly of him,
and letters were written from Athens, we
understand, recommending the re-ap-

Interesting Letter to the Hartwell Son Bv
Hon. B. B. Parker.
House of Representative, Atlanta,
Ga., Dec. 8, 1886. At six o’clock, p. m.,
30th Nov., a joint committee of the Sen
ate and House, in company with Joseph
E. Brown and Evans f\ Howell, of the
Constitution, and others boarded the
tran fo, Dade Coal Mines. The party
had 20 minutes for supper at Big Shanty;
after which the trip was resumed, and
at usual bed time the bunks were lower
and all slept the sleep of the just.
Next morning, upon waking and look,
ing out, in front rolled the waters of the
Tennessee, having arrived during the
night at Shell Mound. There were ma
jestic mountains on either side, near by
was the noted Nickajack Cave, named
for an Indian chieftain, and a few hun
dred yards above, is and point where th
three States of Georgia, Alabama aiv
Tennessee come together. After leaving
Shell Monnd, we went to the coke
furnaces, wh-ro a small engine, same
what like Nancy Hart, was standing on a
narrow gauge track’ with a long train of
diminutive flat cars attached, upon which
the party clambered and were carried up
the moutains in a zigzag course, upon
the top of which is the Dade Coal Mines.
The distance from starting point to top
is about lj-f miles, air-line, and by rail
in a distance of 3'.C miles, the ascent is
400 feet petpendicular. After a hearty
breakfast the party proceeded to explore
the stockades. The prisoners seemed to
be well provided for, and as a rule ex
pressed themselves satisfied with the
treatment In the hospitle were very few,
mostly injured by some accident at work,
The largest mine at Coal City is known
as the Slope; for perhaps two hundred
yards you go down an inclined plain, de
accnding a perpendicular distance of
87 leet; the miners are provided with
small tin lamps for burning oil attached
to the front of their caps, aud their
clothes and persons being smutty, they
presented a frightful appearance, a white
scarcely distinguishable from a colored
inan. The fullest opportunity was offer
ed the converse with the convicts, and
in a large proportion of the cases they
would say they were innocent of tharge.
There are 450 convicts at these mines,
and sixty guards arc required to keep
watch over them. There arc little huts
on every side, before which stands a
guard, with a breseh loading shot gun,
loaded with buck shot. Sixty mules are
required to pull the cars around in differ
ent portions of the mine, where they are
kept all day. The coal is loaded into lit
tle fiat cars five of which is a load for a
mule. There is said to be about 12 miles
of railroad track in the mines. The bands,
each have a task assigned him: some as
high as 15 cars per day; some 3 or 4, ac
cording to the condition of the coal.
Every hand, by properindustry’ can com
plcte his task, and make something for
himself, as they are paid 10 cento extra
for each car load, after the task is done.
This is paid at the end of the month
from the store or may tie till the end of
the term, when it is paid in cash. I ex
amined the book in which accounts extra
work was kept, and found that the con
victs had to their credit from one dollar,
to $20 per month. In a smaller mine,
that extends into the mountain 1,500
feet, 1 saw Engine Beck, sentenced for
kilting his wife. He is a large and fine
ly formed man, standing over six feet in
height, weighs over 200 pounds, having
gained five pounds since his confinement
His business is putting in the wooden
props and cross pieces to prevent the
over hanging rocks and debris from fall
ing. Says it is a light job, and is content
ed as possible under the surroundings.
Hz asked me to remember him to some
friends—members from his county. So
you see he is not entirely oblivirous to
the outside world. The convicts come
out of the mines and are kept'at the night
at the stockade. There seemato be pro
per earn takenjfor the comfort of the con
victs- The bedding, clothing, and food
being sufficient; so far as I could gather,
it being a place for punishment, and I can
assure yon it is a place of punishment.
I think there are cases that should bo in
vestigated, and am of the opinion that in
many, the punniahment has boen com
mensurate with the crime. That matter
is being looked into and there may be
some recommendation for eveenti ve clem
ency on that line.
Mr. Brown entertained the party roy
ally sparing neither pains nor expense
to make a trip pleasant.
The tax bill will be taken up tomor
row. It is probable we will not adjourn
before the 19th inst, though many of
the members would tike to quit when the
tax bill is disposed of. ResjjcctfnUy,

OPPOSED TO SECESSION.
FMitors Banner-WATcnMAN: I don’t
see where East Athens has any grounds
to complain of not receiving her rights,
for I am almost certain there has been as
much money expended in East Athens
as she pays into the treasury. In fact. if
you count the benefit we roceive from
our excellent free schools, that we get
more than we pay out. There are al
ways some croakers everywhere that
can’t be satisfied. If the coffee is hot
they want it cold, and if cold they want
it hot. There are some soreheads who
are dissatisfied at the result of the elec
tion, and they would cecede if it ruins
Athens. I was opposed to secession in
1860, and am still. In uuion there is
strength, and it wonld take twice the
amount that we pay now to run a one-
horse municipal government over here.
As to those bitter opponents to the “citi
zens ticket,” they have been snowed un
der by the citizens, and the very best
element of the Knights of Labor, who
are clever and reliable men. The best
element of the K. of L. are my friends,
and helped snow under those who are
now croaking to secede. The Check
Factory, Misa Carr, Mr. Chappie, the
Factory Mills, Dock Dorsey and mysel'
pay the bulk of the tax, and if we don’t
complain, who has the right? I say keep
Athens ss she is, for you can’t please all
no how. There will be no trouble in
the future to elect the best men without
money or whisky, for the best colored
people know their interests and will al
ways govern themselves accordingly.
Most respectfully, anti-slicer,
Peter Cult.

In raver of tbe Tax.
Abbeville, 8. C., Nov. 29.—The vote
last Saturday on the tax for the Chester,
Greenwood St Abbeville Railroad result
ed in favor of the tax. This will give the
road from the township about thirty
thousand dollars. This road is a certain
ty, and it will do much to build up our
town.—Correspondent Augusta Chron

This is Gen. Hoke’s road, theJGeorgia,

“Consumption can he Cured.”
Dr. J. S.Combs, Owensville, Ohio,savs:
“I have given Scott’s Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil with hypophosphites to four
patients with better results than seemed
possible with any remedy. All were
hereditary cases of Lung diseases, and
advanced to that stage when coughs,
pain in the chest, Irequent breathing, fre
quent pulse, fever, and Memacination.
A1I these cases have increased in weight
from 16 to 28 lbs.’ and are not now need
ing any medicine. I prescribe no other
Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with hypo-
phosphites, Lime, and Soda, but Scott’s,
beliveing it to be the best”.
HALL COUNTV.
[UalnetTille Earle.]
The bill before the legislature to abol
ish the city court has passed both houses.
The city registration books closed last
Monday. 428 names are on the list.
Mr. Sampson Mooney, who resides
about five miles west of town, was se
verely hurt last Monday by the falling
of the roof of his steam saw mill, caused
by the weight of snow on it.
Mr. David H. JaiTett, who resides
near Sugar Hill, in this county, brought
to our office Tuesdty last a couple of
well grown and fully ripe liorse apples
of the socond growth. The blooms ap
peared in J uly, and several apples re
mained on the tree until fully matured.
The specimen before us is of good size,
beautiful in appearance and very mellow.
We are informed that a Mrs. Burton
Cloud, who was a*Mrs. Lott, and who
once resided here, now living near Bu
ford, was visited by unknown parties one
night last week, and her house set on
fire. Fortunately she discovered the fire,
and while in the act of putting it out,
was shot in the hack with a shot gun.
some fifteen or twenty shot taking effect.
As the would-be assassin was some dis
tance from her, the wounds are not fatal.
Wehave conversed with several of our
oldest citizens on the subject,, and they
all agree that the late fall of 'snow was
the heaviest they ever witnessed. Up
to Sunday night the depth on level
ground was about six inches, but during
that night and a part of next day fnlly
twelve inches more fell, making eighteen
inches in all.

Corinth Church.—Mr. M. H. Martin
is in the this week, and tells us that they
have raised about $700 toward "rebuild
ing Corinth church, that was burned a
few weeks ago. The entire loss was
near $1,000 in organ and books, and it is
hoped that this sum will soon be sub
scribed. The church will at once be
rebuilt
A Failure.—The firm of Turner,
Brewer & Co^ of Elberton, have failed
for $11,(KX), owing to short crops and poor
collections. Mr. Swearingen, the Co. of
the house, has been appointed receiver,
and to show the great confidence his
brother merchants have in his integrity,
Swift & Bros, will become his bondsmen.
This firm was composed of exceedingly
clever gentlemen, and they in their fail
ure, have the sympathy of every one.
An Augusta Sensation.—Articles
have been published in the state papers
about the Augusta Savings Bank and Mr.
Joseph S. Bean, its late cashier. It was
said that for rumors which Mr. Alfred
Baker, the President of the Bank, had
circulated about him, Mr. Bean would
enter a damage suit. Mr. Baker and Mr.
Bean’s brother have each denied the ru
mors of the suit, and tbe bank officers
say the bank is perfectly solvent and
able to pay all its depositors. Exactly
what the trouble between Mr. Bean and
the bank is has not transpired—some
thing re* ‘ *v of a private nature.

Death ok Mrs. Wikr.—Last evening
Mrs. John W. Wier, the wife of our
worthy and popular sherifl, died at his
residence in this city. After a long and
painful illness, in which her strength
seemed to rally and to wane by turns,
her exhausted nature gave way, and the
gentle sufferer was released from a bed
of pain.
This announcement will be heard with
extreme regret A month ago her family
and friends were alarmed at her condi
tion, but improvement set in and it was
hoped she would recover. Death called
her from a devoted husband and a lov
ing family. The friends « f Mr. Wier
sympathize deeply with him in his mis
fortune. A man of noble instincts and
strong affections, this blow must fall
upon him with great severity.
WOOLLEY’S OPIUM CURE-
The Wonderful Record, of a Wonderful
Medicine—Soma of tbe cores.
Dr. B. M. Woolley’s opium cure has
made a wonderful record, and unlike a
great many proprietary medicines, has
stood the test of years. It is accomplish
ing cures to-day just as it did in past
years, the only difference being that as it
grows older, it occupies a wider field for
good. It has accomplished a countless
number of the most remarkable cures, as
thousands of grateful patients have testi
fied. The Constitution does not hesitate
to endorse Dr. Woolley and the opium
cure. The doctor is one of Atlanta’s best
citizens, a man of spotless character. He
is an enterprising and valuable citizen,
and a high-minded man. There is no
misrepresentation about his opium cure.
It is not a worthless preparation sold to
the patient until his money gives out,
only to leave him in an uncured and
helpless condition. The cures are cer
tain and permanent. Dr. Woolley re
ceives great heaps of letters from patients
that he has cured, and whole numbers of
the Constitution could be.filled with
testimonials from grateful people. One
of the more recent ia from Mr. N. J.
Lewis, of Richmond, Virginia, who was
using ten or twelve grains of morphine
daily, but who was cured completely by
Dr. Wooley’s opium cure. Mr. Lewis
was notified by several physicians that
he was nearing death’s door, so strong
was the powerful hold of the drug upon
him. The cure that Dr. Woolley ac
complished was tike snatching a man
from the very jaws of death. Another
case is that of Bell Garst, of Locksbiirg,
Arkansas, who says among other things:
“If I hadn't taken your antidote, I would
to-day be numbered among the dead.”
She writes a long letter to express the
gratitude she feels, and says her health
is excellent—better than it was before
she fell a victim to the opium hat it.
Mrs. Lou Baker, of Rockdale, Texas,
uses the following language in a letter:
“My health ia better than it has been
for many years, and to-day I feel free to
say that your wonderful cure has wrought
this great change in me, a' change that
.people speak of so often when they meet
me. I do not hesitate to tell them of
this life preserver, which came ao strange
ly into my hands.” As bis been stated,
whole papers, yea, whole books, could
be filled with such testimonials. Verily,
the Core is a great thing.—Atlanta Con
stitution.
