Editor Gantt strikes from the shoul

should never be removed to Griffin.

CRAZY DOINGS
OF THE EMPEROR ON THE IMPE
RIAL YACHT, HOHENZOLLERN.
HE BROKE HIS KNEECAP.
The Sensational Story Published In a
French Newspaper—Mad Ac
tions of the Emperor on His
Departure From.England.;
Paris, Aug. 17.- T io Eclair, which la
not given to sensationalism, prints the
following story as confirmed by un
questioned authority: On the night
following the departure of the imperial
yacht Hohenzollern from England the
crew was beaten to quarters, and was
surprised to find the quarter deck bril
liantly illuminated. An altar had been
erected on deck, bearing the Old and
New Testaments, and the kaiser stood
by, wearing a white chasuble with a
crozier in his hand, and a black and
white mitre on his head. He read the
most warlike passages from the Testa
ment and inviited the crew to respond.
He then preached a long sermon on the
duty of sovereigns to their people, the
whole service lasting from 11 o’clock p.
in. to 2 o’clock a. m. The crew was
then piped below.
At 5 o’clock a. m. the kaiser appeared
on the bridge in the uniform'of a high
admiral, looking extremely haggard,
and addressing the commander, said:
"Sir, retire to your cabin. I shall take
charge." The commander replied: "Sir,
permit me to observe we are in a dan
gerous passage, and that it is desirable
for your majesty’s safety, as well as for
that of the crew, that a sailor remain
in command. ” The emperor respon-
" Never mind, God will '
ded:
me. ” The commander bowed and re
tired, the second officer remaining. The
emperor angrily bade him retire. The
officer respectnilly protesting, the em
peror then said: "You resist, you
wretched creature! Yoh trouble the
spirit of God which is in me. This is
the vengeance of God upon you, * deal
ing the officer a heavy blow on the
cheek. The officer turned crimson, but
remained until the emperor seized him
by the throat and tried to throw him
overboard.
In tlie straggle that followed the em
peror fejl and broke his kneecap. The
sailors watched the scene paralyzed with
fear. The occurrence was one that can
not be forgotten. The emperor howled
with pain. His eyes started from their
sockets, and he foamed at the mouth.
He swore terribly, and in fact displayed
all symptoms at madness. The officers
after a brief consultation carried him
into a cabin padded with mattresses.

MB. HAMILTON’S NOTICE.
Mr. Guy C. Hamilton received his
dismissal yesterday. It was given in
the following official letter:
Savannah, Ga., August 17.1891.
Mb. Guy C. Hamilton, T. F. A„
Athens, Ga.—Dear SirThe operation
by the Richmond and Danville Rail
road Company of the Central and Ma
con and Northern railroads makes
consolidation at Athens of the outside
agents necessary. As there are three
agents now employed, but one will be
necessary after the 1st of September.
It is with great regret that 1 have to
inform you that, in this consolidation,
your services will not be needed after
September 1st,’91; your salary, how
ever, will he pain until October 1st,—
no services required of you during the
month of September other than giving
such information as may be necessary
from time to time to the agents ap
pointed.
Since your connection with this Com
pany, you have rendered efficient and
most satisfactory "service; and it is
with great regret that I now am forced
to sever our..official connection. If, at
any time, however, I can be of service
to you, please command me.
It is necessary to say that in the re
organization, I have been made Gener
al Freight Agent of the Central Sys
tem.
Respectfully,
G. A. WHITKHKAD,
Freight Agent.
rr WAS EXPECTED.
This was not a surprise.
But, there is some intensely bitter
feeling among the merchants of Athens
about it all the same. Justly so.
There was never a more striking il
lustration of genuine railroad soliciting
than the work of these two officials pre
sents. They had built up an enormous
clientage for their respective
roads and have won golden reputations
in the railroad world by their untiring
endeavors.
The Covington and Macon ran its
freight traffic up to a remarkable traffic,
hauling more cotton than any railroad
running to Athens. It was all due to
Capt. O’Farrell. y.;*
The Central has each year under the
splendid guidance of Mr. Hamilton in'
creased its freights in proportions truly
wonderful, and it is an ever-lasting evi
dence to the credit of himself that last
year by actual statistics, the increase
of Central freight in his section was
more than the combined increase of all
the other roads,
main.
It goes without sayiug that such ef
ficient railroad men as these, will not
be long out of a job.
More than this, the Georgia, Carolina
and Northern will do a great business
in Athens when its freight trains begin
to roll down from the North. One
merchant was beard to ssy
in conversation with Mr
Hamilton and Capt. O’Farrell yester
day. “I have just ordered 109 bar
rolls of sugar to be sbip|ted by your
lines; I shall at once wire that they
be shipped by another line entirely for
I only had it put by that route because
of yourselves personally.”
There is much bitterness of feeling
among the merchants over the matter,

CASTOR IA
Castoria is Dr. Samuel Pitcher's prescription for Infhnts
and Children. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor
other Narcotic substance. It is a harmless substitute
for Paregoric, Drops, Soothing Syrups, and Castor Oil.
It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years' use by
Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays
feverishness. • Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic. Castoria relieves
teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency.
Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach
and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Cas
toria is the Children’s Panacea—the Mother's Friend.
Castoria.
“Castorls is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of Its
good effect upon their children.”
Da. O. C. Osoood,
Lowell, Mass.
M Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in-
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves.”
