THEY RUN AWAY
Too Much Klee Beer.
An Atlanta dispatch says: A Gentle
man who was at Salt Springs Saturday
night gives an ainuring account how a
young man was duped on that celebrat
ed prohibition beverage known as rice
beer. This beer is sold in tbe chautauqua
grounds in bottles and is a very popular
drink among the Atlanta people, being
akin to the genuine lager. Enough of
the liquid, when drank, will surely
"make drunk come,” as evidenced it
the cafe below. That celebrated Brook
lyn divine Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, is
spending a few days at the chautauqua,
where he is one of the chief attractions.
Accompanying him is his son, De Witt,
Jr., a young man of about seventeen;
a handsome fellow, but not of the same
stern disposition as h>s father. He was
beguiled into trying rice beer and got
too mellow—Augusta Chronicle.
Charitable Objects.
Athens is besieged with beggars from
the surrounding counties who come here
and put up the most pitiful tales of
woe.
These beggars should be taken care of
by their own counties, as it is too much
of a strain on the merchants of Athens to
have to chip into every charitable object
that comes along.
A negro woman from Oconee was in
Athens yesterday asking the merchants
to give her a small amount to assist in
taking care of her husband, who, she
said, was an invali J.

Under the enlightened and progressive
policy of its Executive and Congress, the
Repubtic of Mexico during the last few
years has granted concessions to promote
the development and settlement of that
country so richly endowed by nature in
the resources of the soil, the frrest,field
and mine, and blessed with all the advan
tages of a salubrious climate and geogra
phical location.
One of the most important and valua
ble of the concessions has been secured
by the Mexican Land and Development
Company whose advertisement appears
elsewhere, by which is acquired the
ownership of one-third of the public do
main in tbe State of Tamaulipas amount
ing to several million acres including
agricultural, mineral, timber and grazing
lands.
utnaulipas is the eastern State of Mex
ico and is bordered by the Gulf if Mexi
co and the Kio Grande River, its north
east coma' being opposite the city of
Brownsville, Texas, thus immediately ad
joining the United States. There are
many portions of tho state that are not
surpassed in fertility and beauty any
where in the world.* The climato is sal
ubrious, with an average rain fall for ten
years of thirty three inches per year, th**
soil is rich, and it abounds in valuable
timber and large deposits of iron, oil,
coal and the precious metals. Still in its
primitive condition there is an opening
here for all industries from the smith
shop to the great iron, cotton and wool-n
factories. From the primitive wagon
road to the iron horse and steel rail; from
the wild animal of the forest to the high
bred cattle and sheep of the field; from
the primitive methods of agriculture to
the steam plow and mower and reaper;
from the common huts for human habita
tion to the prosperous farm house and
the thriving town atid city; from the con
ditions of the sixteenth century to the
civilization of to-day.
The ultimate results of this enterprise
with intelligent management must be
that a committee ot five be appointed bv
the chair to notify the Hon. 11. U. Carl
ton of bis nomination and ask his accept
ance in writing. The following com
mittee was appointed: J. VV. Chspinan,

Dr. Vincent Richards, of Calcutta, an
enthusiastic investigator in many differ

row escape recently from poisoning by a
cobra bite. Ho was holding a vigorous
cobra in his right hand for tho purpose
of obtaining its venom. In pointing with
his left Jorefingor to xvhere some watch
glasses lay, he brought tlio £Xirt close to

reptile away and killed it. A tight liga
ture was at once placed on the proximal
aspect of the wounds, which were sucked,
enlarged by knife, allowed to bleed freely,
and thoroughly mopped with a 5 per
cent, solution of permanganate of potash;
an India rubber coni was bound around
the wrist. A medical fi iend subsequently
further enlarged the wounds, and applied
strong nitric acid to them. The ligatures
were cautiously removed after a time.
No symptom of poisoning resulted except
a slight tightness of breathing.—Scientific

that he should have a soldier’s burial.
